When Shen Lingyi withdrew her hand from Qiguan Yuan's ear, the smile on her face hadn't yet faded.
She glanced at Qiguan Yuan, then at Pei Yubai, and the smile on her lips widened.
Oh my, Yuanyuan is so beautiful! She's much prettier in person than on screen.
She agreed; she wholeheartedly Yuanyuan of Yuanyuan's marriage to her son.
I can't even imagine how happy I would be if Yuanyuan lived with my son and I could see Yuanyuan often.
That's right, Shen Lingyi is a typical example of Xiao Yuan Grains.
Having studied art, she has a somewhat demanding pursuit of beauty, which has led to her prioritizing appearance.
Back then, the main reason she was attracted to Pei Zhongkang was because Pei Zhongkang was good-looking.
This led to the subsequent development of their relationship.
Shen Lingyi had no objection to Pei Yubai pursuing his hobbies and entering the entertainment industry; on the contrary, she was very supportive.
She is also a big fan of Pei Yubai's fan club.
Every now and then, they'll give away some gold coins for Imperial Fans to win prizes. The Imperial Fans just don't know that their top fan is actually the idol's mother.
She naturally supported all of Pei Yubai's films.
At the time, I was following the live stream of " Travel to That Unknown Place " out of a desire to support my son.
I was unexpectedly amazed by Yuanyuan's appearance.
I fell straight from the Imperial Fans) fandom to the Xiao Yuan Grains) fandom.
Later, when she discovered Yuanyuan's different treatment of her son during the live stream, she initially felt as if her own Yuanyuan had been taken advantage of by her own pig.
But after thinking about it, she realized how happy she would be if Yuanyuan became her daughter-in-law.
So I supported the Taro Balls without any psychological burden.
In Shen Lingyi's eyes now, Yuanyuan is good no matter what.
" Yuanyuan, how old are you this year? What do you like to eat? What do you usually do at home? Are you getting used to your accommodation? Is the hotel bed hard? Has Xiaobai bullied you?"
Questions kept popping up, and before Qiguan Yuan could answer any of them, she had already moved on to the next one.
Pei Yubai opened his mouth from behind, Shen Lingyi didn't give him a chance to speak.
She maintained her consistent style.
Qiguan Yuan looked at her and his lips twitched slightly. "Auntie, one at a time."
Shen Lingyi paused for a moment, then laughed, a laugh that sounded rather embarrassed.
"I'm so happy! Take your time, there's no rush."
Qiguan Yuan thought for a moment, "His age... should be a little older than your son."
Strictly speaking, he is indeed a little older than Pei Yubai.
Xiu Yun Yin appeared shortly after Qiguan Yuan was born under the Tree of Fate.
Bigger is still bigger.
"Has Pei Yubai bullied me?" Qiguan Yuan glanced at Pei Yubai, tilting his head. "I don't think he would." His gaze met Pei Yubai's. " Pei Yubai, would you bully me?"
Pei Yubai shook his head. " Yuanyuan... I don't know how."
After listening, Shen Lingyi showed a very satisfied expression, like a collector who had collected everything she wanted.
[Even Mom is captivated by Yuanyuan; she's Yuanyuan radiant!]
Who wouldn't like Yuanyuan?
Qiguan Yuan returned to the room where the fox mask was kept, under the pretext of returning the props.
At the same time, it tucked its tail and ears in.
Then, together with Shen Lingyi and Pei Yubai, they walked out of the secret realm.
Just as they emerged from the secret realm, Pei Yubai's assistant ran down the corridor carrying several boxes.
The box is dark blue with gold lettering printed on it.
The four characters "Cloud Islet River Flavors" (Yunting River Flavor) are written with great force.
He was sweating and a little out of breath from running.
He walked over to Pei Yubai and held up the box in his hand. " Teacher Pei, the cake and pastries have arrived. They said today's special Jiaodong flower buns."
But after thinking about it, he decided to buy it anyway.
Shen Lingyi turned around, looked at the boxes, and walked over to take them.
She opened the box; the Jiaodong-style steamed buns were placed on a white porcelain plate covered with a transparent lid.
The osmanthus cake was cut into small squares, each adorned with a few golden osmanthus blossoms. She carried the box to Qiguan Yuan.
The round and delicate flower-shaped steamed buns lie quietly on the white plate, with colorful patterns of dragons, phoenixes, flowers and birds sculpted on the surface, and the colors are bright and full.
" Yuanyuan, try this. This shop makes really good pastries, they're not too sweet."
Qiguan Yuan glanced down at it, then nodded.
The comments section was already numb when they saw the words " Cloud Islet River Flavors ".
[Another Cloud Islet River Flavors??? What is this pastry? It looks so pretty.]
[Popular science: This is Jiaodong flower pastry. The one that Pei's mother bought for Yuan Yuan is top-notch custom-made. It is said that the highest price is 18,000 per piece.]
[One for 18,000? Oh my god!]
[And there's that limited-edition cake the assistant is carrying. It costs 12,880 each, and even if you have the money, you can't buy it; only five are sold each month.]
[My monthly salary isn't even enough to buy a box of pastries]
[I'm so poor and ignorant, I'm crying because I'm so poor, hahaha, I'm at my wit's end.]
Shen Lingyi didn't know what the comments were saying. She held the box and watched Qiguan Yuan eat the pastries with a smile.
Then she handed the box to Pei Yubai: "You take it, give it to Yuanyuan whenever he wants to eat it."
Pei Yubai took the box and carried it in his hand.
The live stream continued. Shen Lingyi chatted with Qiguan Yuan for a while longer.
Pei Yubai had absolutely no chance of getting close to Qiguan Yuan.
Filming didn't end until Shen Yuzhou and the others had all cleared the secret realm.
It was almost dark when the live stream ended.
Shen Lingyi checked the time, picked up her phone, and called Pei Zhongkang: "We're done here. Have you chosen a restaurant yet? If you have, send me the address, and we'll head over now."
After a few words were spoken on the other end of the phone, Shen Lingyi hummed in agreement and hung up. She turned to Qiguan Yuan and said, " Yuanyuan, let's go eat."
Qiguan Yuan glanced at Pei Yubai. Pei Yubai nodded.
The three people left the mansion.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Pei Zhongkang stood waiting at the door of the private room. He was wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt, without a tie.
His hair was neatly combed, with a few gray hairs at his temples.
He stood there, his back ramrod straight, and when he saw Shen Lingyi walking over, his gaze shifted to Qiguan Yuan.
Qiguan Yuan was also looking at him.
Pei Zhongkang's facial features are very similar to Pei Yubai's, the arch of his brow bone, the height of his nose bridge, and the contour of his jawline, as if they were carved from the same mold.
But Pei Zhongkang's face had something that Pei Yubai didn't have—the marks left by time.
Pei Zhongkang looked at Qiguan Yuan for a few seconds, then extended his hand. "Hello, I am Pei Yubai's father."
Qiguan Yuan grasped his hand. "Hello, Uncle."
Pei Zhongkang nodded, released his hand, and glanced at Pei Yubai.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
How did Pei Yubai, looking like this, manage to catch Qiguan Yuan?
Does ancestral grave really emit auspicious smoke?
He didn't say anything, but stepped aside to let the three people into the private room.
The private room was large, with a round table, a lazy Susan, and dark-colored cushions on the chairs.
Shen Lingyi sat down next to Qiguan Yuan, while Pei Yubai sat on the other side of Qiguan Yuan.
Pei Zhongkang sat next to Shen Lingyi. The dishes were served quickly, and Shen Lingyi kept putting food on Qiguan Yuan's plate. Qiguan Yuan ate slowly, but he tried a little of everything.
Pei Zhongkang didn't say much, but he kept looking at Qiguan Yuan.
Seeing Qiguan Yuan pick up a piece of stir-fried vegetables, he also picked up a piece.
Halfway through the meal, Pei Zhongkang put down his chopsticks and looked at Pei Yubai: "When are you two planning to get married?"
Pei Yubai paused for a moment while picking up food with his chopsticks.
Qiguan Yuan, holding a bowl of soup, also turned his gaze to him.
Before Pei Zhongkang could answer, Pei Yubai continued, "I'll help you prepare the new house. I recently looked at a manor in the suburbs, nestled against the mountains and by the water, very quiet. You two should like it, especially Yuanyuan."
He glanced at Qiguan Yuan: "You should like it there."
Qiguan Yuan put down his soup bowl and looked at Pei Zhongkang: "Uncle, we've only been together for a short time."
Pei Zhongkang nodded. "I know. It won't stop me from making preparations. You can move in whenever you've finalized your plans."
Shen Lingyi chimed in with a smile, "That's just how he is; he does what he thinks of right away. He's mentioned the manor several times already, saying that the feng shui there is good and it's suitable for you to live there."
Pei Yubai didn't say anything and finished the food that Shen Lingyi had put in his bowl.
But in his heart, he was thinking about when to take Yuanyuan to get his ID card sorted out first.
His Yuanyuan is still unregistered.
Not to mention the Xiao Yuan Grains have been talking about opening Weibo, they also need their ID cards to get their marriage certificates later.
