After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 247 - 245: Can I Request a Reprieve?

"What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?" Qin Yun looked at Yang Leqi’s somewhat pale face and asked worriedly, frowning.

Qin Yun couldn’t figure it out, but Pei Yan did. He immediately spoke to Yang Leqi with a hint of meaning: "For her sake, I won’t make a fuss."

Upon hearing this, Yang Leqi immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, Qin Yun assumed he was talking about the woman he got caught in a scandal with, and frowned as she looked at Pei Yan, "Are you saying I’m not fussing over it?"

"You can fuss as much as you want." Pei Yan nodded.

"That’s more like it." Qin Yun snorted twice. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I hate people prying into my business, whether it’s with people or things! I don’t want to see her anywhere." Qin Yun still felt a bit irritated when thinking about those photos she saw just now.

"Okay." Pei Yan agreed without hesitation.

Their exchange, though quiet, was essentially a decision to ban her.

"Pei Yan, Pei Yan, after all, we’ve known each other. I’m begging you, don’t do this. Qin Yun, I’m begging you, I promise, as long as you’re around, I absolutely won’t appear in front of you, please don’t ban me." Zhang Qian suddenly threw all dignity aside and tried to grab Pei Yan’s clothes, but he dodged, so she turned to beg Qin Yun.

How could Qin Yun allow her to grab hold of her? She detests it when people touch her belongings.

The ones who touch, are unforgivable!

It was only her own fault for making the wrong move and targeting the wrong person.

"Sister Yun, let’s go change clothes first." Yang Leqi, having seen many people trying to climb up the social ladder in the circle, showed no sympathy. After all, such behavior is akin to being a mistress.

To mistresses, she bore a deep-seated hatred. If it weren’t for a mistress, her mother wouldn’t have left right after giving birth to her.

When her mother was pregnant with her, her father got involved in a scandal, resulting in her mother giving birth prematurely and passing away.

Although it wasn’t true—her father loved her mother dearly—the news during the pregnancy still shocked her mother.

If today’s matter did not involve Qin Yun, if there wasn’t an immediate explanation like Pei Yan’s, but instead it happened to someone else, or if it were her mother again, then it would be a completely different situation now.

Towards those with such intentions, whether genuinely or falsely, she has no sympathy for whatever becomes of them in the end.

Qin Yun nodded, and the two went back to the room, changed clothes, and came out to find that the woman from earlier was gone, probably sent away.

They didn’t pay much attention to it.

"What do you want to eat? I’ll have the restaurant prepare it." Pei Yan asked Qin Yun.

"Meat!!!" Qin Yun said without hesitation.

Pei Yan’s manager, having never witnessed Qin Yun eating before, glanced at her with slight surprise.

Qin Yun looked thin but turned out to be a carnivore.

Pei Yan nodded, sent a message on his phone, and said directly, "If we go now, it should be just right. I had someone prepare a roasted whole lamb for lunch."

Qin Yun raised her chin slightly, "Don’t think you can appease me with food. When I think of something new, you still have to do it!!"

"Okay." Pei Yan didn’t mind.

Yang Leqi suddenly understood; she suddenly felt like going back a few minutes to knock some sense into her former self. With the way Pei Yan dotes on Qin Yun, how misguided could she have been to misunderstand?

The four of them headed downstairs, ready to take the car to Pei Yan’s restaurant for a meal.

Yang Leqi, being sensible, quietly sat in the front seat with Pei Yan’s manager, leaving the back seats for Qin Yun and Pei Yan.

When the four of them sat down at the restaurant, the dishes started arriving one after another.

In the middle, the roasted whole lamb was quite eye-catching with many other dishes surrounding it.

"We won’t be able to finish all this, will we?" Pei Yan’s manager frowned at the dishes filling the table.

"No worries, I’ll clean up what’s left." Qin Yun said directly, as she gazed hungrily at the whole roasted lamb, her peach blossom eyes glinting as she licked her lips. She had been craving roasted lamb for a long time.

Pei Yan’s manager looked at Qin Yun’s small frame, finding it hard to believe.

The restaurant staff cut the roasted lamb ribs open to make it easier for them to eat.

In the end, eighty percent of the whole roasted lamb went into Qin Yun’s stomach. Afterward, still feeling a bit greasy, she ordered some freshly squeezed juice to cleanse her palate.

But this time, she stopped when she felt almost full. Ever since realizing her current body is not the same as before and couldn’t indulge as freely, Qin Yun dared not eat too much anymore.

Throughout the process, Pei Yan’s manager was dumbfounded, unable to believe how Qin Yun’s small frame could consume so much.

He was very curious about where all the food went.

After eating, Pei Yan’s manager sent Yang Leqi home, while Qin Yun and Pei Yan took a stroll back to Pei Yan’s nearby residence.

Back at the new home, Qin Yun looked at the place where every inch is worth gold and commented, "You even have a place here. As expected of you."

Pei Yan looked at her, "You’re a part of it too."

"But didn’t you buy this before we got married?" Qin Yun was surprised.

"I just bought it recently. Since it’s close to the restaurant, it’s convenient for you to go there and eat, and there happened to be an opening nearby, so I bought it." Pei Yan nodded.

If it were the previous Qin Yun, she wouldn’t think much of it and might even comment on Pei Yan’s generosity.

But after realizing her own feelings, Pei Yan’s words made Qin Yun feel as if her mouth was stuffed with sugar, her heart swelling with warmth.

Qin Yun beckoned to Pei Yan with a finger.

Pei Yan, puzzled but still slightly bowed over to gaze at her, asked, "What’s wrong?"

Qin Yun kissed his chin briefly, then pecked his lips, and smiled brightly, her peach blossom eyes curving as she said, "A reward."

Having said that, Qin Yun headed to check out the master bedroom.

Pei Yan was briefly frozen in place, and only after Qin Yun left did he stand upright, touched his chin, then his lips, and a grin spread across his face.

While Pei Yan was touching his lips with a smile, he heard Qin Yun shouting from the master bedroom, "Pei Yan, is this really the bathroom? Why is it so big!!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan withdrew his hand and walked towards the master bedroom.

"Do you like it?" Pei Yan leaned against the master bedroom door, watching her as she moved from the bathroom to the walk-in closet, and asked with a smile.

Qin Yun: "It’s okay." It’s much smaller than where she used to live.

"Then next time, I’ll buy a bigger place. The location limits this one, so it can’t be any larger." Pei Yan responded, nodding.

Qin Yun directly flopped onto the bed, rolled around twice, and bounced a couple of times, saying, "This bed is nice."

She didn’t notice the deepening gaze in Pei Yan’s eyes due to her words.

"Actually, I was ready to tell you my decision on that matter you mentioned today, but considering what happened with the trending topic that upset me today, I’ve decided not to tell you the answer." Qin Yun sat up from the bed, sat cross-legged, with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Pei Yan vaguely guessed what she meant, and his throat constricted slightly as he spoke hoarsely, "Can I apply for a reprieve?"
