Chapter 575: Chapter 357: Time to Celebrate!_3
"Alright, then I’ll make some Dragon Well Shrimp."
The two of them had a clear division of labor and got busy, finding a certain warmth and romance within the hustle and bustle of cooking.
"duo~duo~"
Seeing Li Peifeng focused on chopping vegetables, the sunset’s afterglow streamed through the window, casting a golden sheen on his flawless and handsome profile. Even after seeing it countless times, Wu Wenyue couldn’t help but be moved, instinctively imagining how wonderful their life would be after marriage... What nonsense!
This scoundrel wouldn’t just marry me, how would life be after marriage? Dividing a week of seven days among four people doesn’t work. Even if you count by months, it doesn’t divide evenly! But with three people, thirty days in a month means each person gets ten days on average, clear and simple.
Wu Wenyue sighed, "How did you deal with Old Zhao yesterday? Why didn’t she come upstairs?"
"duo~"
Li Peifeng paused slightly with the kitchen knife in hand, turned seriously, and said, "Brother Yue, let her think about it herself. You and Manning, don’t interfere, okay?"
"Why?" Wu Wenyue got annoyed, retorting, "Why can’t we interfere? Do we just have to watch you court her, let her fall, and then openly enjoy having the best of both worlds? You might as well keep dreaming."
Li Peifeng frowned, "I just thought your interference might backfire. For instance, yesterday if you hadn’t been performing double acts in the group chat, I wouldn’t have even met with Dao’er. She’s been avoiding me since returning from the shoot, but because of your actions, I got to see her. If you keep doing this deliberately in the future, she might agree to my plan in her rush..."
"Isn’t that exactly what you want?"
"I’d rather she make a choice based on her own deliberation, free from external influences, so she won’t regret it in the future."
Wu Wenyue pursed her lips, placed the washed vegetables on a plate, then moved to the chopping board and flicked her wet hands at Li Peifeng, who didn’t dodge, letting droplets fall on his face as he continued to gaze at her unblinkingly.
"Whichever choice she makes, there will be regret. Stop feeding me nonsense."
Wu Wenyue turned her head slightly, wiped her hands with a cloth, and after a moment of silence, her expression became somewhat discouraged, "Then let her decide for herself. Manning and I won’t interfere."
"Sister Yue~"
Li Peifeng’s expression softened, he was about to embrace her, but Wu Wenyue rolled her eyes, yet reciprocated with a hug and gently kissed him.
After the kiss, they continued to stay busy. Wu Wenyue talked about some studio affairs; currently, their trio was recruiting the livestreamer Xue Ya had previously suggested, which indicated another expansion. With an increase in contracted actors, the backstage staff numbers had to grow as well, making the existing office space cramped, possibly requiring a change.
On the other hand, the studio’s nature would restrict their trio’s development, and Wu Wenyue was planning to formalize and corporatize it.
In response, Li Peifeng advised her not to rush, progressing steadily step by step...
As they were cooking and discussing work, the doorbell rang, and Huang Tianxuan arrived.
"I could smell the aroma downstairs. Is it braised pork?"
Huang Tianxuan wore beige slim-fit casual pants, along with a gray-white coat, but took off her coat when changing shoes in the room, revealing the pink base shirt inside. It was a V-neck, bouncing slightly as she walked into the kitchen.
"Aren’t you cold?" Wu Wenyue glanced at her pale and deep cleavage, pursing her lips.
"My work is indoors, and I drive when going out, so I’m not cold."
Huang Tianxuan casually replied, taking out a cup from the cabinet, drinking some water, and seeing Li Peifeng engrossed in cooking set her temper rising. She lightly kicked him, "What dish are you making? Is there anything I like?"
Li Peifeng glanced at her, a smile in his eyes, "Dragon Well Shrimp, a Su-Hang dish, made especially for you, so don’t eat my right kidney, okay?"
Huang Tianxuan pouted, "Let’s see how your skills are."
"Ding~"
Wu Wenyue’s phone rang. She glanced at it, frowning, "Manning says there’s a business partner coming to discuss business, so she’ll be late and might have to entertain them. We should eat first."
"She’s really busy," Huang Tianxuan raised an eyebrow, then looked at Li Peifeng, "I have two pieces of good news for you."
"Let’s hear it?"
"First, your aphrodisiac has made progress; although mass production is still far off, there’s hope for mass production."
Li Peifeng smiled, "Oh? That’s great. Can it be launched before I graduate?"
"Optimistically, about right."
Huang Tianxuan nodded slightly, then couldn’t help but smile, "The second piece of good news, I got a promotion, to Deputy General Manager of the R&D Department."
"Good news, that’s indeed wonderful, double blessings in one go."
Li Peifeng smiled even more but couldn’t help asking, "Is it because you mentioned it to your uncle before...?"
"It has a bit to do with it," Huang Tianxuan pondered, "Mainly because someone below looked into the drug’s prospects and saw the hope for mass production, despite my previous instructions, secretly leaked the news to my father. He talked with me over the phone for more than an hour, and made the decision after considering all factors. Tomorrow, he’ll announce it at a meeting and formally issue a document to announce it within the group."
"Great, just great."
Li Peifeng was overjoyed, seemingly happier than Huang Tianxuan, because he believed this would likely delay having children. Huang Tianxuan probably wouldn’t be in such a hurry now.
The reason the other party wanted children so soon was largely for the sake of promotion and vying for corporate inheritance. Now that her position has advanced, although not to General Manager, the promotion already indicates Huang Jianzhong’s attitude. Huang Tianxuan has an opportunity for inheritance in the future, so there’s no rush for a baby now!
"From now on, President Huang is truly President Huang, and it’s only a matter of time before President Huang becomes Chairman Huang!"
Li couldn’t help but flatter, putting down the kitchen knife, moving closer to Huang Tianxuan to embrace her, lowering his head slightly, "Such a big joyous occasion, we must celebrate with a kiss.~"
"..."
Huang Tianxuan’s face turned slightly red, glancing at Wu Wenyue, who seemed to have some murderous intent in her eyes?
Never mind, happy anyway, just go for the kiss!
"Mm~"
"And you’re even using tongue?!" Wu Wenyue watched in disbelief as the two of them eagerly kissing right under her nose, lips trembling slightly as she gritted her teeth coldly, "Li Peifeng, don’t go too far, if you want to kiss, go to the bathroom, don’t do it in front of me!"
Come here too!
Li Peifeng, daringly, embraced Huang Tianxuan and stepped towards Wu Wenyue, grabbing her hand to pull her closer, thinking you two have kissed before...
"Come on, everyone, kiss!"
"Kiss your sister." Wu Wenyue reluctantly tried to pull away.
But Li Peifeng didn’t let go, righteously saying, "Wrong, it’s kiss your elder sister. Today’s a day of promotion and salary boost for President Huang, Sister Yue, don’t be a buzzkill, you should express something too... How about this, you kiss Sister Xuan’s right cheek, I’ll kiss her left cheek, let’s make our sister a bit happier."
Happy? Terrifying!
Huang Tianxuan’s pupils dilated, her face flaming red, seemingly too scared to even struggle, "No need, Wenyue, you...hold him back."
Wu Wenyue shook off Li Peifeng’s hold disdainfully, "Do I need to hold him back? You seem quite expectant."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Huang Tianxuan scolded, "When he said you’d kiss the right cheek, he’d kiss the left, I got so disgusted I got goosebumps all over!"
"Then could you please let go of him? Huang Danai!"
Wu Wenyue pointed angrily at Huang Tianxuan’s chest, in between them, "Look, it’s all squished! Does it really need to be held so tightly?!"
Huang Tianxuan awkwardly released her hold immediately, but Li Peifeng didn’t let go, looking down and sighed, "Deformed is even cuter though."
