"No need to see me off."

"Let’s go, just to downstairs."

At 8:20, the dinner ended. Li Peifeng couldn’t convince the determined Huang Tianxuan to stay; as she left downstairs, he also went out to see her off.

"Go ahead, go ahead, and just don’t come back!"

Xu Manning grumbled discontentedly and slammed the door shut. The two stepped into the elevator.

Li Peifeng pressed the button for the first floor without turning his head: "How’s work been lately? Tired?"

"It’s a bit more tiring than before."

Huang Tianxuan said casually: "Even though it’s almost holiday time, the project is at a critical stage; I can’t go back for a while... What’s this?"

Time was urgent, so Li Peifeng didn’t bother with pleasantries. He directly took out a jewelry box from his pocket and smiled: "Want to open it and see?"

It was a gold necklace, glittering with pearls and inlaid with diamonds.

Everyone gets a Christmas gift, of course, as Li Peifeng is always very considerate.

Looking at the jewelry in the box, Huang Tianxuan pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you mean by this?"

"A Christmas gift, let me put it on for you."

Li Peifeng took out the necklace, intending to put it on her. But Huang Tianxuan directly took the necklace into her own hands, observing it carefully, and asked: "Did you secretly buy it while shopping with Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue this morning, under the pretext of buying gifts for Wu Wenyue’s parents?"

Li Peifeng retorted: "Why would I need to secretly buy something?"

Huang Tianxuan let out an "oh": "Then let’s go back, and you can openly put it on for me in front of both of them, okay?"

She really knows how to push her limits.

"Do you even want this gift or not?"

Huang Tianxuan took another look at the necklace in her hand, lacking interest: "Not really, gold is too tacky, and the diamond is too small, just a thing worth only ten thousand or so... How dare you give it to me?"

Li Peifeng’s face darkened: "Don’t go overboard, am I wrong to give you a gift?"

Huang Tianxuan ignored him. When the elevator door opened, she didn’t move, shifting her gaze from the necklace back to the bulging pockets of Li Peifeng and said with a tone of realization: "You bought it for both of them too but haven’t had the chance to give it yet, right?"

"You solved the mystery, say it out loud."

Li Peifeng simply pulled her out of the elevator and into the hallway. Seeing no one around, he took out the other two small jewelry boxes from his pocket, opened them like a street vendor selling jewelry: "Pick one out of three, take whichever you like, and don’t tell them you picked first." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Ha, as if I am so important to you?

Huang Tianxuan looked at the necklace, earrings, and bracelet for a moment, her expression becoming complex before she lifted her head with a slight smile: "Can I have all of them?"

Her words were not just about the jewelry, but Li Peifeng assumed she meant the jewelry. Hesitating for a moment, he closed all three boxes and handed them to Huang Tianxuan.

"All for you."

"...Really?"

Startled, Huang Tianxuan confirmed once again. After getting a positive response, she stared into Li Peifeng’s eyes. After four or five seconds, she inexplicably grew angry: "Bastard, who wants your crappy jewelry?!"

After she finished speaking, she grabbed all the jewelry boxes and threw them to the ground. Then she used her bag and fists to hit Li Peifeng on the arm, punch after punch, swing after swing...

Old Zhao gives me trouble, and you do too?

Li Peifeng remained silent, watching quietly. After more than ten seconds, Huang Tianxuan seemed to have vented her inexplicable anger, panting heavily as she glared at him.

Li Peifeng gave a self-deprecating smile with a hint of provocation in his tone: "What are you looking at? Never seen a scumbag before?"

"You..."

Huang Tianxuan couldn’t finish her sentence. Her eyes, filled with anger, turned into shock as Li Peifeng hugged her and kissed her.

The struggle only lasted a moment. Three seconds later, Huang Tianxuan hugged him back.

"Bang~"

The bag in her hand fell straight to the ground. Huang Tianxuan tightly grabbed Li Peifeng’s back, as if trying to leave an 800-word denunciation of Li’s crimes there, for Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue to see clearly what kind of person Li Peifeng really is...

"Clingy person, sticky pest... Go to hell!"

Swear, write.

Li Peifeng endured the pain and sucked harder, thinking they already knew his true nature.

Given the situation, why pretend anymore?

Go make a big spectacle.

Go make the toppled pan and broken egg.

The less they like me, the more brazen I get.

Love and hate, I give you warmth, I also give you disaster.

The great disaster of the human world!

"I... can’t breathe, let go!"

Finally, their lips parted.

Huang Tianxuan flushed, breathing heavily after they separated, calming her emotions. She looked at the jewelry boxes on the ground and then at Li Peifeng, regaining her clear gaze: "Stay away from me in the future. If you still have fantasies, there’s no chance for us, I absolutely cannot accept it!"

Li Peifeng didn’t respond. Instead, he picked up the three jewelry boxes from the ground and presented them again to Huang Tianxuan: "Do you still want them? Pick one or take all three?"

Huang Tianxuan, who had just calmed down, gritted her teeth in anger: "Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I just said?"

"I’m just asking, do you want them or not?"

"..."

Clenching her fists, Huang Tianxuan seemed about to hit again but restrained herself. She bent down to pick up her bag, brushing off the dust, then unzipped it and commanded: "Put them all inside, I’ll take them all!!"

"This time you can only choose one."

Li Peifeng’s tone was calm: "I gave you the chance earlier; you threw them on the ground yourself, so now you can only choose one."
