After thanking the person on the phone, Xu Wang hung up and hurried out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Pei Yanchuan withdrew his gaze. He was just about to carry the food into the kitchen when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Pei Yanchuan set down the bags in his hands, turned, and walked to the door. Through the security monitor, he saw that the person standing outside was a security guard from their residential complex.
Pei Yanchuan opened the door. The guard was carrying three neatly packaged bags.
"Mr. Pei, these are the three takeout orders Mr. Xu placed." The guard held the three orders out to Pei Yanchuan.
Pei Yanchuan took the bags, narrowing his eyes. "Sorry for the trouble."
"You're too kind. It's all part of our job." With that, the guard took his leave.
Pei Yanchuan carried the three bags back inside.
Just then, Xu Wang rushed out of the bedroom.
The two came face-to-face.
Pei Yanchuan stood in the entryway, smiling without a word.
Looking at Pei Yanchuan standing before him with three takeout orders, Xu Wang quietly swallowed. Oh no. This is the end of me.
"Xu Wang, did you order all this takeout?" There was something a little dangerous about Pei Yanchuan's expression.
"If-and I mean if-I said no, would you believe me?" Xu Wang made one last desperate attempt.
"I would." Pei Yanchuan nodded with a smile.
Xu Wang stole a glance up at Pei Yanchuan's expression. You don't exactly look like you believe me.
Five minutes later.
The three takeout orders were neatly arranged on the table in front of the sofa.
Glutinous Rice seemed to have noticed that something was off, too. Unusually, it did not hover around the takeout on the table, instead lying obediently on the blanket nearby.
