Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 497 - 51: The Boss and the Secretary

Qu Fulan didn’t catch up with the two classmates, just exchanged a few simple greetings before leaving.

Zhou Yao and Wu Hao both had somewhat strained smiles on their faces.

They had heard that Qu Fulan was dumped, but had no way to confirm it. Firstly, no other woman had appeared by the side of the President of the Pei Family, and secondly, they hadn’t seen Qu Fulan. Now, having finally met her, they originally intended to mock—no, comfort her with a few words.

But instead, they walked into the two of them lovingly shopping at the supermarket.

Naturally, the two felt uncomfortable about it.

Honestly, they would rather have seen Qu Fulan being dumped. She already hogged all kinds of resources thanks to her figure and looks; if she also married well and lived well, how were ordinary people supposed to feel good about that?

Qu Fulan naturally also noticed that Zhou Yao and Wu Hao weren’t sincerely treating her well, and besides, they hadn’t been that close back in school, so could it really improve after entering society?

She always believed in one saying — there aren’t many people in this world who truly want to see you doing well.

But even under all the envy and jealousy from Zhou Yao and Wu Hao, news of her doing well still spread in the group.

Some still believed that it wasn’t really conclusive until the last step.

It was just dating; maybe she wasn’t dumped today, but who’s to say it won’t happen tomorrow? Marrying into a wealthy family isn’t so easy.

Qu Fulan didn’t have time to worry about what others thought; after that banquet, her studio had gotten more work, and its operations were maturing, so she didn’t need to oversee everything herself, freeing up her personal time. Inevitably, she stepped back into his circle.

When they went to the Pei Mansion for dinner, Mr. Pei’s attitude was as friendly as ever, and Qu Fulan deeply understood the essence of one sentence — just like with officials, the truly powerful ones are actually easier to deal with, while those who aren’t too big or too small, they are the ones who are hard to deal with.

The butler, too, whether he’d been instructed or for some other reason, didn’t bring up any rules in front of Qu Fulan and served diligently.

Yet despite this, Qu Fulan still felt a bit uneasy, feeling the most relaxed when interacting with his friends, Young Master Zhou and Young Master Yang.

Even though they had tried to pursue her after she and Pei Ji’an broke up, it was within the normal range of pursuits, with no shameless entanglement involved.

"How did you get back with him?"

At a little gathering, amidst banter and jesting, Young Master Zhou Shaoyang couldn’t resist gossiping.

In fact, they also had a bit of regret in their hearts. Not being able to win her meant they just weren’t as skilled, so they had to gossip a bit to probe for inside information, which might help them in pursuing other girls in the future.

"Good things are worth the wait." One sentence, seemed to say everything, yet as if saying nothing at all.

Qu Fulan wasn’t going to satisfy others’ gossip; she was content with knowing Pei Ji’an’s pursuit methods herself.

"Does this mean a wedding is on the way?" Young Master Zhou Shaoyang wasn’t easy to fool.

"Rest assured, when the time comes, there’ll be no lack of invitations for you two." Pei Ji’an spoke up.

Qu Fulan discreetly pinched Pei Ji’an, for her words didn’t carry such a hefty implication.

Pei Ji’an, unfazed, held her hand tightly and didn’t let go, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free, so she let it be.

The gathering didn’t go on too late; they left before nine o’clock.

Young Master Zhou Shaoyang didn’t want to let them go, "Heading back so early— the nightlife’s just starting."

Pei Ji’an picked up Qu Fulan’s handbag, "Indeed, the nightlife is just beginning."

This nightlife was not that nightlife.

All were adults — who couldn’t understand the implication?

So when Qu Fulan and Pei Ji’an left, there were still murmurs and sighs behind them.

She couldn’t help but blush, yet feigned calmness; once they were out of the private room, she couldn’t resist stepping forward and pinching his waist again, "You did it on purpose?"

Too bad the man worked out every day; his waist and abdominal muscles were impressively firm. Qu Fulan’s pinching initially became kneading later on; it felt too good.

Pei Ji’an let her pinch without changing his expression and helpfully said, "It doesn’t feel great through the clothes. If you like it, we can find another occasion for you to pinch to your heart’s content."

What other occasion didn’t need to be said — Qu Fulan naturally knew, and her face flushed, but dissatisfied with his teasing, she pinched slightly harder, genuinely this time around.

Pei Ji’an’s muscles slightly tensed, his firm abs akin to stone, making Qu Fulan unable to pinch, so she playfully hit him a few times out of frustration.

To others, this behavior just seemed like flirtation between a couple, but to Zhang Rongnuan’s eyes, it was quite unpleasant.

Back then, she had declared she’d get Pei Ji’an only to dump him, yet regardless of how she tried, she couldn’t get a glance from him. Having pride, she turned to find herself a toy boy.

But toy boys aren’t satisfactory; any capable man wouldn’t want to be ordered around like a dog by a woman. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Then Zhang Rongnuan despised him for not being manly enough, and seeing Pei Ji’an now, his aura instantly rendered her toy boy into nothing.

Qu Fulan sensed an unfriendly gaze on her and looked over to see Zhang Rongnuan, and this inexplicable hostility made her displeased. She leaned over and whispered in Pei Ji’an’s ear, "Look at the mess your peach blossom caused."

If Qu Fulan could notice the gaze, how could Pei Ji’an not? But what did people irrelevant to him have anything to do with him? Even though Qu Fulan said so, he never even glanced in her direction.

"Wrong wording, the only peach blossom I’ve gotten is you."

"I’ve noticed lately you’ve become more talkative, unlike before, did you unlock some inner channels?"

"Had to; a straightforward guy can’t get a girlfriend."

"You’re a straightforward guy?"

"What else?"

"Haha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard."

The two continued to "flirt" nonchalantly as they walked past Zhang Rongnuan, Pei Ji’an never sparing her a glance, leaving Zhang Rongnuan furious with no solution, unless she were royalty, picking whoever she wanted wasn’t feasible.

Qu Fulan was taken back to his villa as none of his things were on her side anymore, unlike his side where she had everything, making it convenient.

At night... the two of them also slept together, just as they did in their last relationship, mostly sleeping together but without crossing the line.

Speaking of it, women aren’t as impulsive about that as men, at least for Qu Fulan. She didn’t mind, but she could sense he was having a hard time.

In the air-conditioned room, she was just right under the covers, but his body was burning hot. Qu Fulan recalled the first time discovering this and how she had caringly asked if he had a fever.

Returning to the present, Qu Fulan couldn’t help but suggest, "Maybe you should go to the bathroom?"

He had always managed this way, returning from the bathroom all settled.

One must admit President Pei’s patience was impressive; declaring no intimacy before marriage, and indeed he stuck to that line.

This was also a rare quality Qu Fulan appreciated.

"No need, let’s sleep."

Qu Fulan hesitated a bit, but couldn’t help but complain, "But you’re so hot I can’t sleep."

Being next to him felt like a volcano.

"Then help me."
