Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 498 - 52: The Boss and the Secretary

Qu Fulan wasn’t some naive girl and naturally understood what he meant by his words.

She didn’t act coy; previously, he hadn’t made such requests, but now that he did, she wanted to give it a try.

Even if some things weren’t something she longed for, it didn’t mean she didn’t want to try.

Besides, it’s normal for couples to be attracted to each other.

...

After it was over, Qu Fulan could only use one word to describe her feelings: numb.

Two words: hand numb.

Apart from that, she felt a flutter in her heart, as if this cold and aloof man, who was unstoppable at work, could be completely at her mercy at night.

She felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, as well as a feeling that their relationship had progressed further.

Lost in thought, the man came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and as Qu Fulan glanced at his lean waist and toned abs, she suddenly felt her face flush and her heart race.

Men like looking at beautiful women, but women also like looking at handsome men.

And then thinking that such a high-quality man belongs to her...

Her face suddenly started to turn red.

"Let’s get married."

Pei Ji’an sat on the edge of the bed and suddenly spoke.

Perhaps because of his tall stature, the bed seemed smaller when he sat down, and with him freshly showered, the pleasant scent mixed with his unique aura was very appealing, which made Qu Fulan instinctively lean over and rest her head on his leg.

"Why so sudden?"

"We’ll have to get married sooner or later."

Qu Fulan understood what he meant; since they were going to get married eventually, they might as well get married earlier to enjoy the benefits of marriage sooner.

This must be the difference in thinking between men and women; men tend to think quickly, decisively, and accurately, focusing on the result, while women mostly care about the process.

Compared to marriage, Qu Fulan felt the process of dating was more enjoyable because marriage comes with various responsibilities.

So she shook her head.

Pei Ji’an didn’t have any intention of forcing her, and seeing her like this, he asked, "Do you have any concerns?"

"I feel it’s too early to get married now; I don’t want to get married so soon."

Pei Ji’an nodded at her words and lay down, "Alright then, let’s sleep."

Qu Fulan thought it was pretty agreeable of him, which didn’t quite match President Pei’s usual demeanor. Although he had changed a lot recently, still, when it came to such an important matter as marriage...

"You don’t mind?" Not bothered by the rejection?

"Would you marry anyone other than me?" he asked.

Qu Fulan shook her head instinctively. She hadn’t even thought about marriage or such a question, but now that she thought about it, up until now, aside from Pei Ji’an, she hadn’t met another man she liked.

"So why should I mind?"

"Mind your pride, self-respect, after all, you got rejected." Qu Fulan pointed lightly at his heart.

Pei Ji’an held her hand, "Don’t tease me."

"... I just tapped on your chest, don’t slander me." Qu Fulan retorted defiantly.

"Are you sure it was my chest?" the man said with an ambiguous tone.

Qu Fulan blinked, "If it wasn’t your chest, what was it?"

The left side is not the chest, could it be the right?

Pei Ji’an, "My heart isn’t here either."

Qu Fulan, "Haha, can it be different for you, your heart is on the right?"

Pei Ji’an’s lips curved slightly, "No, my heart is with you."

"... What a cheesy line, but, but Qu Fulan found herself unable to hold back a smile, "Oh dear, President Pei is starting to talk sweet, got more of that?"

"What do you see in my eyes?"

Qu Fulan cooperated and sat up to stare into his eyes, "What is it?"

Pei Ji’an chuckled, "The person I like."

Qu Fulan giggled and collapsed onto him, "Where did you learn that from?"

Pei Ji’an coughed, "Self-taught."

Qu Fulan didn’t believe him, but she didn’t press further either; sometimes a woman should pretend to be clueless to enjoy the romance.

The next day, the butler had just finished watering the flowers outside and saw someone busy in the kitchen. Thinking he might be seeing things, he walked over and came back again to look.

His eyes weren’t playing tricks on him; who else would be busy in the kitchen but the young master?

And standing next to the young master wasn’t Miss Qu, who else could it be?

The two of them, one tall and one short, had a clear division of labor and cooperated harmoniously.

The usually spacious kitchen suddenly felt crowded, which was against the Pei Family’s usual practices, but the butler suddenly found the scene very heartwarming, truly giving off a homey feeling.

All the previous strict practices seemed to lack the warmth of human affection.

Suddenly, the butler seemed to understand why Miss Qu had broken up before.

The young couple finished making breakfast together and ate it sweetly together.

Although the scene was somewhat "sickeningly affectionate," the servants in the villa felt a subconscious sense of happiness.

When the master of the house is happy, they don’t have to worry about their jobs; who wouldn’t be glad for that?

The blossoming relationship between Pei Ji’an and Qu Fulan was felt not only by the servants at home but also by their colleagues at the studio and their friends.

When Qu Fulan was busy at the studio, Pei Ji’an would come over. He didn’t interfere with her work; he simply opened his laptop and did his own thing, only glancing at her occasionally as if he could fly.

"Are you two getting married soon?" her best friend couldn’t help but ask.

Qu Fulan wasn’t willing to mention the word marriage, at least not at the moment, "Why ask that, isn’t it good to enjoy the process of dating?"

"Though that’s true, the outcome of dating is either breakup or marriage. The way you two are now, it looks like you’re heading to the marriage stage."

Qu Fulan disagreed, "I think a longer dating phase is better."

"Too long isn’t good either; look at how many people have relationships that last seven or ten years, and most of them end in breakup, with no youth left."

"I don’t plan on it being that long, but not right now either."

...

Qu Fulan and Pei Ji’an went on a trip.

Due to work, they couldn’t take a long vacation, just seven days.

Traveling with someone you like made Qu Fulan’s heart leap with joy, and she prepared a whole bunch of different clothes and dresses for the seven days. Since it was summer, the clothes weren’t thick, so bringing more didn’t take up much space.

When they arrived at the airport, Pei Ji’an went to buy the tickets while Qu Fulan stood in place looking at the luggage.

"Are you guys also going on a trip?" someone beside her asked. Qu Fulan turned and saw a woman who seemed to be going on a trip too. She nodded in good spirits, "Yes."

The woman pointed to Pei Ji’an, "Is that your boyfriend? You two are very well-matched."

Because their appearances were too high, they attracted attention as soon as they entered the airport.

Qu Fulan nodded again, "Are you by yourself?"

The woman pointed in another direction, "That’s my boyfriend."

Qu Fulan glanced over. Oh, though it was just a back view, it looked like he was handsome. Then again, he could be a "reverse angle killer."

As they talked, Pei Ji’an already finished buying the tickets.

The man, no longer in his suit and tie, had changed into casual pants and a T-shirt, even wearing a baseball cap, looking just like a college student.

Instantly, Qu Fulan couldn’t see anyone else in her eyes and forgot about checking if the guy from earlier was really handsome. She nodded to the woman beside her as a way to say goodbye.

The seven-day tour was about to begin!
