After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 346 - 338: Pei Yan’s Darkened Expression

In the intense gaze of Yang Leqi, Qin Yun didn’t feed her as she expected; instead, she focused on eating herself.

Seeing this, Yang Leqi slightly reined in her gaze, directing her attention to the barbecue in front of her, pretending to be engrossed in eating, while keeping a lookout on their actions out of the corner of her eye.

Without the intense gaze, Qin Yun’s heart, which had just received news from Little A, began fluttering again.

Her mischievous hand reached under the table towards Pei Yan.

Lately, Pei Yan hadn’t been asking for hugs or anything, which meant his Life Value was sufficient. But since Life Value could be exchanged for points, it’s a waste not to exchange!

More contact, gain more Life Value; even if they’re not together, Pei Yan won’t have to restart with a new body.

If he really had to switch bodies after failing, although she believed Pei Yan wouldn’t lack Silver even with a new body.

But! What if he’s really ugly?!!

Eek...

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it! Such a thing must never happen!!

After all, she was still very satisfied with the current one.

When Pei Yan’s hand was held, he paused and wrapped her hand in his, glancing at Qin Yun, who continued eating her barbecue with a natural expression. His eyes lowered slightly, landing on their clasped hands, his deep eyes filled with a gentle smile.

Little C cheerfully said, "Life Value +3." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Little C excitedly shouted, "Your Highness! You should learn more from Tang Yun! Look! This is such a good opportunity! You should always hold hands like this, hehehe...everything His Highness wants can be achieved!!"

Qin Yun suddenly heard a lively voice she had never heard before. Her hand paused as she ate and glanced at Pei Yan. This must be Pei Yan’s system, right?

But...

Unexpectedly, he got such an exuberant system, she couldn’t help but chuckle quietly.

Hmm, not bad, suits him well!

However, Pei Yan’s system mentioned something he wanted? What does Pei Yan want?

Qin Yun thoughtfully observed Pei Yan.

Although she didn’t know what he wanted, the thing he wanted must require exchanging Life Value.

"What are you looking at? Want to eat this?" Pei Yan noticed her gaze and asked, offering the chicken wing in his hand.

"Nothing, you eat it yourself. Do you want mine? I think it tastes pretty good." Qin Yun shook her head and handed the chives she was holding to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan’s eyes successfully landed on the bunch of chives. He gave a look with ambiguous meaning at Qin Yun, "Do you think I need to eat this?"

Yang Leqi’s eyes flickered, casting another glance at Pei Yan. Mr. Pei actually needs to eat chives for nourishment...

"Don’t you like it? Never mind, I’ll eat it myself." Qin Yun didn’t get the implication of Pei Yan’s words. She only saw a flicker of an indescribable light in his eyes and thought he didn’t like it, so she took it back.

"I’ll eat it." Pei Yan took the chives from her with his other hand, leaning towards Qin Yun, who blinked without moving.

Pei Yan leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "I’ll come find you after the night scene filming."

Qin Yun widened her eyes: "???"

Yang Leqi pretended to be observing the store’s decor while watching them with unblinking excitement out of the corner of her eyes, a joy indescribable by anyone!

Qin Yun compliantly focused on eating the barbecue, not daring to stir up anything else.

Midway, Yang Leqi said, "By the way, didn’t our variety show stop airing some time ago because of Qin Hao? It resumed last night, but all of Qin Hao’s scenes have been blurred, and most of his scenes were cut. Those that couldn’t be cut were mosaicked."

"Since our airing was relatively short, after his scenes were cut, only a small part remained. Because it’s with us, it was mosaicked. Generally speaking, it slightly affects viewing. During this period, the post-production team probably burned the midnight oil until their hair was falling out and wanted to cry." Yang Leqi laughed.

"My agent said he’s been having a tough time lately. The company originally wanted to terminate his contract for breach, but somehow agreed to let it go without compensation. His girlfriend, who settled down for a few days, found out he had extra-close relations with a higher-up, and got caught red-handed. It’s quite a mess now." As Yang Leqi chatted about the gossip she knew with Qin Yun, she was nonchalantly eating meat.

"It’s good you terminated early; that company is really disgusting. I heard because the company’s struggling lately, all the artists under it have been taken to dinners." Yang Leqi clicked her tongue distastefully here.

"As long as it airs, it’s fine." Qin Yun didn’t react much to this.

But at the mention of the company, Qin Yun suddenly remembered the evidence she had collected. Such a company doesn’t really deserve to exist.

If the company continued, who knows how many more people would suffer.

She tilted her head and pondered for a few seconds, looking at Pei Yan, wasn’t he supposed to be the go-to when something came up?

Pei Yan felt a little anxious under Qin Yun’s gaze, pondered briefly, and tentatively asked, "Do you want that company?"

Qin Yun’s eyes widened immediately. How did he guess so accurately!

"I just don’t like that company, but it would be nice to acquire it. But I don’t really want to spend money on those people." Qin Yun tilted her head, frowned in thought.

Without a shred of hesitation, Pei Yan said, "That’s easy."

"Mr. Pei, you’re amazing!!" Qin Yun’s eyes lit up at his words and she said.

Then she handed Pei Yan a bunch of nearby chives, personally feeding him to his mouth, "This is for you since you like it, eat more."

In Qin Yun’s eyes, treating someone well means sharing delicious food with them!

"And all of these are for you!" Qin Yun placed all the remaining chives on Pei Yan’s plate.

Pei Yan glanced at the two additional bunches of chives on his plate: "..."

Yang Leqi initially thought today’s sweetness might cause a sugar rush, unsure if she’d get a toothache. But the next moment, Sister Yun’s actions nearly made Yang Leqi burst out laughing.

Especially seeing Pei Yan’s visibly displeased expression, she stifled her laughter so much her whole face turned red and twisted.

Even so, she still couldn’t help but make a sound.

"Pfft—"

Pei Yan’s deep gaze immediately turned towards her.

Yang Leqi erased all expressions from her face in a second, looking serious, but if it weren’t for her flushed face and trembling chin, one might actually believe her.

Qin Yun felt something strange but vaguely sensed something amiss.

Just now, when she handed this to Pei Yan, his expression wasn’t great, and now it’s even worse.

Moreover, Yang Leqi’s appearance just now clearly showed she was holding back laughter.

Qin Yun asked Yang Leqi what this thing was called.

"Chives," Yang Leqi replied.

Amid Pei Yan’s subtle gaze and Yang Leqi’s stifled laughter, Qin Yun searched for the effects of chives—enhancing kidney function and boosting vitality.

Qin Yun: "..."

Qin Yun looked at the words on the phone as if she didn’t recognize them and searched again.

The result was still the same words.

"Leqi, what did you say this thing was called again...?" Qin Yun asked with a trembling voice, pointing to the chives on Pei Yan’s plate, holding onto a last thread of hope that she had misheard.

"Chives." Yang Leqi tried hard to hold back, but couldn’t hide a hint of laughter in her voice, answering very seriously.

Qin Yun suddenly recalled when she asked Pei Yan if he wanted to eat, he responded with a question and a cryptic look in his eyes.

So that’s what it meant...

No wonder he said he’d find her after shooting the night scene!!!

No wonder Yang Leqi looked at Pei Yan with that expression, her face flushed as she stifled laughter.

Asking a man to eat more chives...

Doesn’t that imply doubting his ability?!

Qin Yun: "..."

What on earth did she just do?!!

Qin Yun pursed her lips and looked at Pei Yan with a look of despair, "What I did just now wasn’t intentional, it wasn’t what you think it means, do you believe me?"

"What do you think?" Pei Yan looked at her quietly.

Qin Yun: "..."

She thought he might believe it!!

"My fault." Qin Yun shook Pei Yan’s hand below, her eyes pitifully looking at him, "I really didn’t mean it..."

Yang Leqi covered her mouth, leaned back in shock, afraid to disturb them, watching the two with wide, unblinking eyes, her eyes shining brightly.

"Your Highness, seize the opportunity! Go for the kisses, the hugs, the lovemaking!!!" Little C enthusiastically encouraged.

Qin Yun’s shaking stopped abruptly, her eyes widened.

Pei Yan, bothered by Little C, felt a headache, frowned, and wanted to shut down the system, "Shut up, stop bothering me."

"Your Highness, I’m doing this for your good! Do you still want to redeem that item? If you want to redeem it, you have to interact more! How can you improve your Life Value without interaction? How can you redeem the item you want?" Little C said, now sounding slightly aggrieved.

Pei Yan: "..."

Qin Yun suddenly understood, no wonder she said Pei Yan wasn’t like this before, why did he suddenly become like this...

Turns out it’s all due to the system’s meddling!!

What is it teaching!!!

To think Pei Yan was so aloof before, turned into like this now...

Tsk tsk tsk...

Qin Yun suddenly felt a bit sorry for Pei Yan and couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity as she looked at him.

Pei Yan frowned under Qin Yun’s gaze, isn’t this supposed to be an apology? What’s with that look?

"It’s okay, I can help you!" Qin Yun said resolutely to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan: "???"

"Help me with what?" Pei Yan asked, somewhat stunned, looking at the determined Qin Yun.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Pei Yan’s face darkened a bit, and he ground his teeth as he shouted, "Qin Yun!!"

"Mm! Don’t worry, leave it all to me." Qin Yun seriously nodded at Pei Yan.

Yang Leqi looked at Pei Yan, whose face was getting darker, in her heart silently lighting a candle for her Sister Yun.

She decided, tonight she would definitely not appear to disturb the two’s private world!!

If she appeared tonight, she had no doubt that Mr. Pei would have her agent make her work like a slave for a long time with no free time at all!
