Chapter 262: With such dedication, how could a single kiss be enough as a reward?
The black Maybach was parked right in front of Yan Zhuoyu's company building.
Ever since their official announcement photo went viral, Pei Weijin has driven this Maybach almost every day and hasn't changed to any other car.
Yan Zhuoyu took the elevator directly to the lobby on the first floor, and as soon as she came out, she saw Xiao Lin's bright smile at the front desk.
She paused, and Xiao Lin, like a little sun, stood at attention and gave her an exaggerated salute: "Good afternoon, Ms. Yan! Your husband is waiting for you outside. You can go home without worry. I will take good care of the company's safety!"
"Then we'll have to trouble Ms. Kobayashi."
Yan Zhuoyu also nodded politely in response, in a pleasant mood.
After going public with their relationship, the two still travel with bodyguards, but they no longer deliberately hide their joint trips or appearances in public together.
For example, now that Pei Weijin has officially married, he is openly waiting for his wife in front of the car.
He stared intently at the revolving doors in the lobby, not even glancing at his phone.
Waiting is always a boring and tedious thing, but he is used to it and is best at it.
Especially when you know that you are waiting for your beloved, and that your beloved is walking towards you, your heart is filled with anticipation, like the bubbles in a carbonated drink. The moment you see her is like unscrewing the cap, and the little bubbles that have been accumulating for a long time begin to boil.
Yan Zhuoyu felt the same way. Upon seeing Pei Weijin, she quickened her pace and rushed straight into his arms, exclaiming, "Husband!"
Pei Weijin responded, gently pulled her into his arms, and then picked her up and spun her around.
Yan Zhuoyu landed firmly on her feet. She grabbed Pei Weijin's tie, kissed him on the cheek, and generously praised, "Since Mr. Pei obediently picked up his wife today, Miss Yan is hereby rewarding Mr. Pei with a kiss."
A man with a legitimate status openly received a kiss from his legal wife, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Pei Weijin tightened his arms around her waist, looked down at her, and said with a smile, "Today is Saturday, an even-numbered day. Mr. Pei, may I ask for another kiss?"
Yan Zhuoyu tapped his chest a few times with the pad of her index finger: "You're really greedy."
"But I like your greed, so I approve."
After saying that, she kissed him twice more and generously said, "Buy two get one free, let's put this marketing strategy I just learned into practice."
This marketing strategy does seem very effective. For example, consumer Pei picks her up every day, rain or shine, just to get an extra kiss upon meeting her.
That kiss, which was only on the cheek, had already completely captivated him.
Not to mention, if you happen to get lucky numbers, you can get a few more.
The saying goes, "Don't talk about business while driving, and don't drive while talking about business."
Pei Weijin fastened Yan Zhuoyu's seatbelt, but she grabbed his hand.
He let her lead him and asked, "What's wrong, my darling wife?"
Yan Zhuoyu went straight to the point, without any preamble. Between husband and wife, the two closest people, there's nothing they can't say to each other.
"Honey, my work will be a bit easier next year. I'll be appearing on variety shows, though the specific shows haven't been decided yet. After we went public, a lot of couple variety shows approached me, like the very popular 'Love Journey Puzzle' from last year, which also invited both of us."
As Yan Zhuoyu spoke, she released Pei Weijin's hand and showed him the program schedule.
Pei Weijin's hand suddenly felt empty, and he subconsciously clenched it.
The feeling of regret was fleeting and didn't last long. After opening the PPT, Yan Zhuoyu handed her phone and her hand back to the clingy Pei, and the two intertwined their fingers once again.
"Look, I quite like the program's arrangements. We haven't traveled together yet, so I'd like to hear your opinion."
Yan Zhuoyu analyzed the pros and cons for him and told him to take his time to consider it.
The file had only been open for two or three seconds when Pei Weijin gave his answer: "Okay, I have no problem."
The speed of the agreement made Yan Zhuoyu suspect that he might have agreed without thinking after only seeing the word "couple" in the program's title.
She squeezed her fingers together in exasperation, gesturing for Pei Weijin to look closely: "How can there be no problem? Did you even look carefully? This trip involves four couples. If their lifestyles clash or conflicts arise, it will all be magnified on camera..."
Pei Weijin listened to her rambling on and on, listening to all the things she was thinking about for him.
She thoughtfully considered every little detail for him; she was very considerate.
These concerns passed through his ears, were processed a second time by his brain, and all of them turned into "I love you".
Yan Zhuoyu's mouth was dry from talking, and when she looked up and met Pei Weijin's gaze, she immediately fell silent.
"..."
Why does this guy look like he's fallen in love? He's staring into her eyes, and I wonder what he's thinking.
Yan Zhuoyu suddenly remembered a joke she had seen online before.
"What is my wife saying?"
He didn't know; he only knew that she loved him so much, and that it was so touching.
This joke perfectly describes Mr. Pei's current state.
Just as Yan Zhuoyu was itching to punish him, Pei Weijin blinked.
His clear, starry eyes held a glimmer of clarity, and one could faintly discern a will to survive.
Pei Weijin showed her a message Meng Yuting had sent not long ago and said, "I wasn't distracted. I was listening to everything you said. I had already seen the program plan before."
Since the two are a married couple, the program team not only invited Yan Zhuoyu, but also contacted Pei Weijin.
He declined all the invitations this year, but kept them open for next year without giving a clear answer.
Pei Weijin spoke calmly and slowly, his mood always stable and gentle when he was with her: "Thank you, my wife, for thinking so much about me. I have absolutely no problem participating in a variety show with you."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, making Yan Zhuoyu feel as if time between them was eternal. She looked into Pei Weijin's eyes and listened quietly.
Pei Weijin said to her, "The reason I haven't responded to the production team is because I remember you participated in a challenge show to promote your movie last time. It involved going into the water and chasing each other, which was very physically demanding. You came back looking pale and fell asleep as soon as you lay down. I'm proud of your dedication to your career, but I'm also worried about how much you've overexerted yourself. I feel sorry for you."
As he spoke, Yan Zhuoyu kept staring into his eyes, and suddenly realized why Pei Weijin had been looking at her.
While she was thinking of him, he was also thinking of her.
The two care about each other, whether expressed or done silently, which once again proves that they are going towards each other.
Yan Zhuoyu unconsciously slowed her breathing, holding his hands with both of hers.
In December, the weather in northern Beijing is cold, with temperatures dropping to minus three degrees Celsius.
The car was heated, and Pei Weijin's hands were enveloped by her two hands, his palms slightly sweaty.
Pei Weijin didn't pull his hand away and continued, "Furthermore, the entertainment industry is your career field, and variety shows are also within your career scope. If I were to suggest that we participate in variety shows together, these additional tasks outside of your schedule would undoubtedly add extra burden to you. Moreover, it's impolite to interfere too much in your lover's career. So I didn't mention it, but now that you've invited me, and it's within your reasonable work schedule, of course I have no problem with it."
After he finished speaking, the car remained silent for a long time.
Yan Zhuoyu suddenly pulled his hand and pressed it to her heart. Her heart was warm and pounding, one beat after another, throbbing under his palm through a layer of flesh and blood.
She said, "Wow, honey, you love me so much, it's so touching."
The sentence that had just come to mind was now being perfectly put into practice by her.
"Thank you." Pei Weijin accepted her praise without any modesty, and turned his head to smile, saying, "Then, Miss Yan, could you reward your loving husband by giving me a kiss?"
of course can.
With such dedication, how could a simple kiss be enough of a reward?
Yan Zhuoyu wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him.
She's recently developed a little habit: when kissing, she likes to gently press her thumb on Pei Weijin's Adam's apple.
Every time she did this, she could feel Pei Weijin's muscles tense up after his Adam's apple was touched, and the arms around her waist would wrap around him even tighter.
After finishing her drink, Yan Zhuoyu pressed her forehead against his neck, listening to his heartbeat.
A heartbeat never lies.
The sweet and sour taste of preserved plum candy still lingered on her lips and tongue: "Greedy Mr. Pei, why are you secretly using my toothpaste again?"
Pei Weijin kindly helped her recall: "When you went to Jiangcheng to film, you took my new toothpaste with you, and only yours was left in the bathroom."
Upon hearing his mention, Yan Zhuoyu immediately remembered.
She closed her eyes and pretended to be naive: "Really? I thought you deliberately put your toothpaste in my bag so that I would think of you every time I used it."
"Alright then." Pei Weijin confessed for her: "I deliberately put the toothpaste in my darling's suitcase so that she would think of me all the time."
Yan Zhuoyu smiled tolerantly: "Your darling has forgiven you, rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," he replied fluently.
The black Maybach started and drove towards home.
After the two signed the contract for "Love's Journey Puzzle," the other guest couples were also successfully confirmed. The production team released a promotional trailer on their official Weibo account, highlighting that all the guests were big names and were among the couples most wanted to see by the audience.
The show will begin filming next February, and Pei Weijin still has one very important thing to finish in December, which is about to end.
Yan Zhuoyu's birthday is coming soon.
