After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 421 - 408: I Love You

"Hmm, just going out for a bit," Pei Yan explained in a calm voice.

He then walked over to Qin Yun, sat down next to her, and conveniently took a bite of the fried dough stick in her hand.

"You didn’t eat?" Qin Yun was surprised.

Pei Yan had very good living habits; how could he miss breakfast today?

"Hmm, I left a bit hurriedly."

Qin Yun had almost finished eating and put a bowl of porridge in front of him. She got up to go upstairs to change clothes, "Eat first, wait for me for a bit, I’m going to change clothes."

"Okay."

Qin Yun chose a comfortable outfit and layered a white coat over it.

The weather was gloomy; she even took a scarf with her. The red scarf set off her snowy white skin flawlessly.

When she went downstairs, Pei Yan had already finished eating and was elegantly sitting on the sofa.

The position was directly facing the staircase, and as Pei Yan looked up, he saw Qin Yun descending like a fairy from heaven.

He lifted the corners of his mouth in a gentle arc, his gaze soft.

"Do I look good?" Qin Yun spun around on the staircase.

Pei Yan nodded, "Very good."

He got up, walked step by step toward Qin Yun, and directly lifted her off the staircase, "Let’s go, I’ll take you out to play."

Neither of them brought an assistant or driver. Pei Yan drove, taking her all the way out of the city to a mountain villa in the suburbs where an old man with a white beard greeted them.

"You’ve arrived."

The old man led them into the villa and even gave Pei Yan a tricycle.

"You can go up the mountain top for a look, the scenery up there is especially nice now."

The old man chuckled and was even dressed in red, looking like Santa Claus.

The old man seemed to see through Qin Yun’s thoughts, pulling a Christmas hat out like a magician and gifting it to Qin Yun, "Merry Christmas."

"Thank you!" Qin Yun accepted it with surprise and put it on.

Like this, she looked just like a little neighbor girl.

Pei Yan’s gaze was locked on her, hardly able to move away.

Pei Yan sat in the driver’s seat of the tricycle and patted the back seat, while Qin Yun sat down, hesitating, "Come on, get on my ride."

Qin Yun was a little surprised, "You know how to ride a tricycle? Or maybe I should do it?"

She had ridden a tricycle before in a show, but from what the others said, it wasn’t an experience worth repeating.

"I do," Pei Yan nodded and started the engine.

Qin Yun nodded, since Pei Yan claimed he knew, then he probably did.

She felt relieved.

"Here we go."

Pei Yan twisted the throttle, the vehicle jerked, and then started moving.

Qin Yun almost got launched off with that jolt, her heart leaping into her throat. So this feeling was what it was like when they sat on the tricycle she drove...

Qin Yun, with a small face, complained, "You said you knew how!"

Pei Yan earnestly said, "Of course I know!"

He had come earlier and practiced.

The tricycle accelerated, stalled, and then surged forward again.

Fortunately, the road up the mountain was quite smooth, with guardrails on the side, and the tricycle was electric and compact.

Despite the danger along the way, they surprisingly met no incidents.

Qin Yun clung tightly to the handrail beside her seat, face filled with despair, "Pei Yan, I’ll never believe you again."

She always thought Pei Yan was capable of anything.

But today, Pei Yan’s image in her heart completely collapsed!!

Pei Yan seriously explained, "It was just a mistake this time."

Before coming, he had the road repaved and safety measures taken, plus he really had practiced driving the tricycle.

He stopped the vehicle by the roadside and helped Qin Yun out of it.

Qin Yun rolled her eyes at him and took a deep breath.

Then, she was stunned.

Because before her was a sea of colorful flowers.

Roses.

In every color.

White, pink, red, yellow.

With big flowers, small flowers, flower stands, arches, and shapes.

So beautiful, it’s impossible to look away.

Qin Yun murmured, "Is this..."

"This is a sea of roses the old man planted for his late wife. It’s not open to the public, only for his beloved to see."

Pei Yan stood beside her, gently looking at the astonishment and delight in her eyes, squinting happily.

Efforts will always pay off, won’t they?

Qin Yun said, "It’s really beautiful."

"Beautiful, isn’t it? There’s more over here."

Pei Yan led Qin Yun through the flower sea, and on the other side was a grove of orange trees with some scattered golden fruits, which were irresistible.

Pei Yan continued, "There’s also strawberries over here."

Next to the orange grove was a small greenhouse, where the old man grew strawberries.

They were just ripe, and Qin Yun’s eyes sparkled, "Can we eat them?"

"Yes, they’re all yours," Pei Yan nodded.

He opened the greenhouse door, and Qin Yun walked in, found a ripe strawberry, and plucked it, taking a bite.

"Sweet!"

It was really tasty, even better than the ones bought outside.

Qin Yun was absorbed in picking strawberries, soon filling a basket, overjoyed.

She picked and ate along the way.

Just as she was about to stop, she heard Pei Yan calling her, "Qin Yun, come over here."

Qin Yun turned in puzzlement, seeing Pei Yan standing at the greenhouse entrance, hands behind his back, smiling at her.

She walked over.

"Hands out," Pei Yan glanced at the strawberries in her hands.

Qin Yun was a little reluctant, but after hesitating for two seconds, she put the basket down, "What’s up?"

A bouquet of fresh flowers was presented in front of her. Pei Yan, smiling, said, "Merry Christmas."

Qin Yun took it with a smile, eyes bending with amusement, teasing Pei Yan, "So romantic?"

Her heart was feeling soft, remembering the gift in her pocket.

She had planned to give it to him at dinner tonight, but now, she couldn’t wait to give it to him.

Qin Yun nonchalantly hugged the flowers with one hand, reaching into her pocket with the other.

"I prepared a gift for you."

"Give me your hand."

They both spoke simultaneously and also took out their gifts at the same time.

Qin Yun’s was a vintage sandalwood jewelry box.

Pei Yan’s was a delicate clasped jewelry box.

One was classic, the other exquisite.

Yet, both were small and square.

They both opened the boxes at the same time.

Qin Yun had prepared a jade ring.

While Pei Yan’s was a simple and elegant diamond ring.

"Is this for me?"

Upon seeing the jade, Pei Yan’s deep, dark eyes brightened noticeably.

Qin Yun knew he must like it, so she smiled and said, "Merry Christmas."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan had also prepared a ring for her, and they both thought alike.

She took out the male version and personally put it on Pei Yan, proudly saying, "Once it’s on, you’re mine."

The cold ring slid onto Pei Yan’s finger, the jade translucent, resembling a stone he had treasured in his stash for a long time, his heart felt pierced, tingling sweetly.

This feeling seemed familiar.

This scene also seemed somewhat familiar.

He felt like he’d seen it somewhere before, where a flamboyant girl had given him something too.

Pei Yan moved his hand with the ring, suddenly grasping Qin Yun’s hand. He took out the ring he had prepared and slowly slipped it onto her finger.

Her hand was slender, long, and very white.

Very beautiful.

With the diamond ring on, her fingers looked even more delicate and beautiful.

Pei Yan couldn’t help but bow his head and kiss it deeply, "Qin Yun, I love you. For all time and eternity, only you. Everything of mine belongs to you."

His voice was sincere and deep, so pleasant it could impregnate one’s ears.

Qin Yun, moved, tiptoed and kissed him, sealing his lips.

Just now, she even had an illusion.

Feeling like Pei Yan had said these words to her before in Pei Yan’s cave, where the Pixiu, known for taking and not sharing, was willing to share all its possessions with her.

This is how much love it takes to resist one’s nature?

"I love you too."

At first, she thought it would take some build-up to hear Pei Yan say he loved her.

But Pei Yan unexpectedly said it so willingly.
