Chapter 1179: Brother, Take It Easy

Xu Ye kept looking at them. He still couldnt look away even after they had left and closed the door.

Beitang Lie couldnt bear to see Xu Ye so dejected. He walked forward and patted his shoulder, comforting him. Brother, take it easy. Dont be so dejected.

Xu Ye looked at him and laughed helplessly. I originally thought that I was not that far behind Quan Jue. But now, it seems that theres a huge gulf between us. Hes indeed too outstanding.

Seeing his dejected expression, Pei Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, Xu Ye, Jiaojiao chose Mr. Quan not only because hes so outstanding. If two people love each other, they will love each other no matter what. Jiaojiao and Mr. Quan truly cherish each other. Even if Mr. Quan doesnt achieve anything, I think Jiaojiao will still choose him.

Pei Yao watched their relations.h.i.+p develop. She knew very well that Chi Jiao and Quan Jues relations.h.i.+p had developed beyond the usual romance. They already envisioned each other as a part of the future and they worked together to achieve this outcome.

Xu Yes expression changed again. He smiled helplessly and stood up. Sister Pei Yao, I understand. Ive been tired these past few days. Ill go back to my room to rest.

Xu Ye left the room looking as if he had lost his soul.

Beitang Lie looked at Pei Yao in exasperation. His tone was laced with reproach as he said, You were too direct. Xu Ye must have been badly affected.

Pei Yao also couldnt bear to see him like this. She didnt want to be a bad person either, so she could only say helplessly, I didnt want to be so direct, either. Its just that the truth is indeed like this. Whats the use of hiding it? Hell still realize it in the end. Its better to deal with painful things quickly, like ripping off a Band-Aid. I dont want to see Xu Ye in so much pain.

Beitang Lie pulled her into his arms and said seriously, Fortunately, I dont have to suffer from romantic problems anymore. Ive finally made it!

Pei Yao rolled her eyes at him before pinching the skin on the back of his hand.

Beitang Lie cried out in pain. He rubbed his hand. What are you doing? Are you trying to kill your husband?

Pei Yao was already bashful. After hearing Beitang Lies words, her face instantly turned red. Nonsense! I I was asking if youre free tonight?

Beitang Lie raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly, Why? Do you want to go on a date with me?

Its not me. Its my father. He said that you helped him last time. Since we know each other, he wants to invite you home to express his grat.i.tude. Pei Yao realized that Beitang Lie was looking at her with a faint smile.

I didnt expect to meet your parents so soon. Uncle has a good impression of me, right? Beitang Lie said proudly.

Youre making me wonder if you deliberately got close to my father to gain his favor? Pei Yaos eyes were filled with suspicion.

Speaking of which, it was rather strange. Last week, Pei Yaos father was on his way home from shopping when he accidentally sprained his back. Beitang Lie happened to pa.s.s by and kindly sent him home. He then b.u.mped into Pei Yao, who was also on her way home.
