After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 104: Face Your Own Heart Head-On

Qin Yun didn’t pay much attention, and before long, Pei Yan came in carrying a thermal food container.

"Where did you get that?" Qin Yun asked in surprise.

Pei Yan opened the container, took out the food inside, glanced at her, and calmly said, "I had someone deliver it. I’m a bit hungry."

"Oh." Qin Yun immediately understood why. She licked her lips, forcing herself to turn her attention back to the TV.

Pei Yan didn’t call her over, and leisurely began to eat.

The aroma of the food filled the air, and Qin Yun’s nose, more sensitive than most, especially when it came to food, picked it up immediately.

She pretended not to care and glanced over with her peripheral vision again and again. Her mouth watered, and she swallowed several times, her slender, fair fingers gripping the throw pillow tightly.

"Do you want some?" Pei Yan casually asked.

"No, I don’t eat food that’s given like charity." Qin Yun puffed out her cheeks and refused with defiance.

Pei Yan didn’t try to force her, nodding as he continued to eat elegantly, occasionally commenting, "It’s a bit better, but after being packed for a while, it’s still a bit soft."

Qin Yun picked up a bunch of grapes, plucked one off, and popped it into her mouth. She wasn’t hungry; she didn’t want to eat.

What’s so great about charity food!!

She wouldn’t let Pei Yan have his way!!

Was she so easily placated with just a little food?

She wasn’t!!

Despite saying all that, her gaze still honestly flicked over from time to time. She wasn’t eating, just looking.

Pei Yan hadn’t eaten much before he rubbed his stomach and helplessly said, "I’m kind of full now, but there’s still so much left. It feels wasteful not to finish it. Could you help me out?"

Hearing this, Qin Yun’s gaze fell on the food, and she swallowed, then pretended to look away indifferently. "If you can’t finish, just leave it for tomorrow."

"These are a few new dishes from the restaurant, and the taste will change if left until tomorrow. If you help me finish these, I’ll agree to one thing you ask. How about that?" Pei Yan seemed to frown in distress.

Qin Yun’s eyes lit up, but she still nodded reservedly and grumbled, "You can’t eat that much, yet you ordered so much. Isn’t it wasteful? I’m not doing this for what you said. I just don’t want to waste food."

"I understand." Pei Yan nodded, handing over a new set of bowls and chopsticks, and placing the untouched dishes in front of her, discreetly moving his used portion aside.

Qin Yun didn’t notice Pei Yan’s actions, shifted slightly towards him, and gracefully took the chopsticks.

Seeing her awkward yet poised eating, a hint of a smile flashed in Pei Yan’s dark eyes. Sure enough, Qin Yun was quite easy to please if treated gently.

He placed the used dishes back in the thermal container and took out a freshly squeezed juice, handing it to her.

Qin Yun didn’t hold back either, and as she ate, she gradually relaxed.

Squinting her eyes in pleasure, she thought: The new dishes really taste good.

I must order double portions tomorrow!

Qin Yun didn’t take long to finish everything.

Contentedly licking her lips, she then glanced at the empty plate, feeling slightly embarrassed.

She had just said she wouldn’t eat, yet ended up finishing everything. Pei Yan must be quietly laughing at her inside.

But soon she justified herself: it was Pei Yan who said not to waste food and asked her to finish it. She was just seriously completing what he asked.

Qin Yun convinced herself, and her mood improved.

Pei Yan didn’t say anything, collecting the dishes and reminding her, "Go wash up and sleep. Don’t you have an interview tomorrow?"

Seeing that Pei Yan wasn’t saying anything, as if everything was quite normal, Qin Yun’s expression eased considerably.

"I haven’t finished watching my show yet..." Qin Yun reflexively said upon hearing his words.

However, when she turned around to look at the TV, she found that the show had already finished during her meal.

She didn’t fuss, stood up, and headed upstairs.

After washing up, Qin Yun went straight to sleep; she had important matters to handle the next day.

Early the next morning, Qin Yun had Pei Yan give her a quick lesson. At eleven, the two drove to a restaurant owned by the Pei Group for lunch.

Recalling last night’s food, Qin Yun added a few more dishes before stopping.

After they finished eating, Pei Yan dropped Qin Yun off at the Eastern Hotel’s underground parking, advising, "I’ll wait for you in the parking lot. Don’t be nervous; you’ll do great."

"I’m not nervous, actually feeling quite excited." Qin Yun smiled sweetly, opened the car door, and got out, then took off her coat to reveal the qipao she was wearing underneath.

She had purposely ordered a qipao to fit the role of the third female lead she was auditioning for today.

Qin Yun, in high heels, wore a fitted red qipao, different from the one she had worn on the show before. To capture a more seductive charm, the slit of the qipao was higher.

Since she had been wearing a long coat all day, Pei Yan hadn’t really noticed the clothes underneath. Now, watching Qin Yun take off her coat, leaving only the fitted qipao, his eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of amazement.

Even though he had seen Qin Yun in a qipao before in their group chat, he was still blown away by her now.

"How do I look? Isn’t it beautiful?" Seeing Pei Yan staring at her, Qin Yun struck a pose and asked with a captivating smile.

Pei Yan’s gaze deepened, "It’s okay if you don’t talk."

Qin Yun rolled her eyes at him: "..."

"I think it looks quite nice. Maybe there’s something wrong with your eyes; you should have them checked at the hospital," Qin Yun teased.

"Task triggered: Praise Tang Yun. Upholding the principle of loving one’s spouse, how can you say that your wife doesn’t look good? Please praise Tang Yun within ten minutes and make her happy," Little C’s cheerful voice had a hint of frustration.

Pei Yan: "..."

Pei Yan suddenly felt a bit skeptical. Was this system bound incorrectly? Shouldn’t it be bound to him; it should be bound to Qin Yun instead.

The tasks were almost always in favor of Qin Yun, it might as well be called a self-slapping system.

"Your Highness, please admit that this is what you truly think. I’m just putting your inner thoughts into a task format. Do you really think Qin Yun’s qipao isn’t pretty? Please face your own feelings directly, don’t blame the system," Little C exposed Pei Yan’s thoughts.

"Shut up!!" Pei Yan replied coldly, a bit annoyed.

"Even if I shut up, I still think Tang Yun looks so beautiful today! Much better than you thinking she looks good but refusing to admit it, la la la la," Little C unabashedly praised.

"If you don’t know how to compliment someone, I can help you look it up and let you choose. If you’re shy, well, I can’t help with that, but a real man pursuing a woman has to take this step, come on!!" Little C said cheerfully.
