After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 456 - 443: Celebrating the New Year at the Pei Family
Her eyes instantly lit up.
Pei Yan looked at her with a smile, "Is it good?"
Qin Yun nodded with half-closed eyes, "Delicious, this is the taste I’ve longed for, flat peaches are always the best."
Qin Yun took another bite, and Pei Yan looked at her with satisfaction.
In the sea of consciousness, Little C sighed, "Your Highness, do you really not want to tell Qin Yun that these flat peaches cost a hundred thousand Life Value to exchange for?"
"There’s no need." Pei Yan refused without a thought.
But the next second, Qin Yun pounced into his arms, offering the flat peach to his mouth, "Have a bite."
Pei Yan hesitated for a moment and took a bite.
Satisfied, Qin Yun lay in Pei Yan’s arms and began to eat.
Little C was still talking to Pei Yan, and because Qin Yun was in contact with Pei Yan, she could hear everything clearly.
Little C said faintly, "Your Highness, is this really okay? Hard-earned one hundred thousand points, gone in just a few bites."
Pei Yan’s voice sounded happy, "As long as she likes to eat it, it doesn’t matter, even if it’s two hundred thousand Life Value, I’d exchange it for her."
Qin Yun paused while eating the flat peach.
Flat peaches exchanged for a hundred thousand Life Value?
No wonder they’re so fragrant.
But the cost is too great!
I wonder how long Pei Yan took to accumulate that hundred thousand Life Value, and he exchanged it so casually for flat peaches.
Moreover, with Pixiu’s "only take in but never give out" nature, being willing to sacrifice so much for her, that’s definitely true love!!
Qin Yun took another big bite of the flat peach, feeling satisfied inside and out.
Especially, hearing Pei Yan’s conversation with the system by her ear.
Little C looked at the remaining Life Value and said in a more resentful tone, "Your Highness, you only have a little over two thousand Life Value left now."
Pei Yan: "I can just earn more."
As long as Qin Yun is home, isn’t earning Life Value a piece of cake?
Pei Yan’s demeanor became even more relaxed; he looked down at the girl in his arms, her lips rosy from eating, with a bit of juice at the corner of her mouth, and wiped it off.
At this moment, Qin Yun shifted positions to lean better against Pei Yan; his fingertip was unexpectedly licked by Qin Yun.
Qin Yun did not notice this tiny action.
Pei Yan’s lazy demeanor instantly turned profound, "Are you finished?"
Qin Yun replied: "Just one more bite."
"Hmm."
Pei Yan’s gaze became darker, and with a bit of force on the hand holding Qin Yun’s waist, he lifted her from his lap, watching her finish the last bite of the flat peach, then directly leaned down to kiss Qin Yun’s lips.
After a while, Pei Yan released Qin Yun, chuckled softly, "It really is quite delicious."
Qin Yun: "..."
Then Pei Yan carried her back to the bedroom.
...
As the year came to a close, Pei Yan became exceptionally busy, absent since the morning and returning late at night; sometimes, Qin Yun fell asleep without seeing him come home.
Fortunately, Qin Yun was also busy herself.
The company was busy organizing the annual meeting.
The studio was busy customizing her next work plan, and Sister Xu showed her several scripts.
This time, there have already been three scripts inviting her to play the leading female role.
But Qin Yun wasn’t impressed with any of the scripts, so nothing was decided yet.
Yuanyuan was already in touch with a gift company to prepare year-end gifts for everyone.
Qin Yun contemplated for a moment and called Tang Zi, "Brother, I’ve prepared some New Year’s goods, should I send them over?"
Tang Zi was excited beyond measure; this was the first call from his sister since recognizing her as family.
"Why send them over? We’re planning to spend the New Year at the Pei Family, just bring them there directly. Mom and Dad have prepared lots of gifts for the Pei Family parents."
Qin Yun was taken aback, "Spending New Year at the Pei Family?"
"Yes, didn’t Pei Yan tell you? This year, our whole family is going to Pei Yan’s house for New Year, and next year, you all stay home for New Year, one year at each side, fair and square."
Tang Zi had just finalized everything with Pei Yan yesterday, assuming he’d already told Qin Yun, not expecting he hadn’t even mentioned it yet.
"Don’t you like large gatherings?" Tang Zi asked nervously.
Previously, they hadn’t asked Yunyun for her opinion, and if she didn’t like it...
Qin Yun said, "No, I just didn’t expect it."
Tang Zi breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good. You have no idea, Mom has been busy preparing gifts recently, and she’s a lot more spirited; the doctor said her mental state is improving."
Qin Yun’s eyes flickered, "Mom’s health will be fine; soon, she’ll be able to run a marathon after the New Year."
There are many elixirs in the system for enhancing health; she could exchange one for Mom then.
Tang Zi smiled wryly, "I do hope she can really get better, but it’s been so many years, and her mind is always uneasy; it requires slow and gradual care, no rush. But don’t worry, there’s always someone watching over her, she won’t run into trouble."
Qin Yun nodded, and after hanging up the call, she immediately found Little A, "Is there any medicine that can cure her illness?"
Little A asked in a flat tone, "Your Highness, do you know how many points you have now?"
"How many left?"
"Only a bit over six hundred, the elixir you want to redeem is different from the ones you’ve redeemed before; it requires five hundred points, at this rate, when will you ever save enough to return." Little A reminded.
It’s been so long, and the points have been hovering around four or five hundred, constantly trying to redeem elixirs, previous warnings fell on deaf ears.
Qin Yun waved her hand, "Points can always be earned again, but if a person is gone, they’re gone for good."
Little A was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Your Highness, they are merely mortals, inevitably facing life and death."
Qin Yun paused, "What do you mean?"
Little A explained, "Sun Wan’er wasn’t physically well, to begin with, and over the years, guilt-ridden, her body considerably depleted; even for convalescence, it requires slow recovery over a long period, the elixir is too much for her."
Qin Yun frowned and seriously asked, "So she can’t take the elixir now? Then is there any way to heal her sooner?"
Little A hesitated, "I am not quite sure about that."
"Are you really unsure, or are you just brushing me off?"
"Of course, really."
Qin Yun’s tone became threatening, "Is that so?"
Little A had no choice but to amend, "Your Highness, there are elixirs, but they’re very expensive, especially those with gentle and life-saving properties."
"How many points."
"A thousand," Little A said.
"Six hundred."
Qin Yun immediately cut four hundred points off.
Little A’s flat and calm voice had a hint of fluctuation, "That’s impossible, these elixirs are not found in the mortal world; with worldly medicines, Ms. Sun’s body can’t be restored, it’s merely buying time."
