After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 233 Pei Yuan's Heartfelt Confession
Pei Yuan's fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles. He took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said softly, "I was useless this time and didn't help you at all. In the future, if there is any danger or difficulty, don't always be so stubborn. Let me show you how it is, okay?"

When Su Xiaoxiao heard Pei Yuan say that, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She felt Pei Yuan's body temperature through her fingers and looked up at him.

Pei Yuan's features are so beautiful. He is gazing at Su Xiaoxiao with such tenderness that she is almost blushing, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded to Pei Yuan, "Okay! I'll do whatever you say!"

Pei Yuan gently tapped Su Xiaoxiao on the head, "You!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously. The atmosphere was so nice just now, she thought Pei Yuan would kiss her.

Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks were very red. She quickly shook her head vigorously. Su Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking?

Pei Yuan held Su Xiaoxiao's hand as they looked at the scenery in the distance.

"Aren't you really going to consider giving up this life? You're stuck in this mountain valley all day, and people are always framing you."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I think life here is great, simple and happy!"

"That's easy, considering how badly they've harmed us."

“You don’t understand. I rely on my own hands and my own abilities to make a living here.”

That's true. Before Su Xiaoxiao transmigrated, she had to deal with many unknown dangers that could occur at any time.

That was far worse than here; you could lose your head any day.

As Su Xiaoxiao was reminiscing about the past, Pei Yuan started touching her hair and gently tucked it behind her ears.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Yuan slowly approached her, and the soft hairs on his face were clearly visible.

"What do you want?"

Pei Yuan's face gradually loomed closer to Su Xiaoxiao, and then he gently kissed her left cheek. This wasn't the first time Su Xiaoxiao had felt this way.

That feeling of shyness is something that cannot be hidden.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time. Su Xiaoxiao quickly pushed Pei Yuan away and then said to him, "What are you doing?"

Pei Yuan blushed deeply and then said, "I didn't do anything. I just kissed you."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "Did I give you permission to kiss me?"

When Pei Yuan saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, he was completely stunned. He wondered if he had been too reckless.
He suddenly became a little embarrassed, blushing as he followed behind Su Xiaoxiao without saying a word. The two of them finally made it back to the village, only to find the village head sitting under the big locust tree at the village entrance, waiting for them.

Finally, Su Xiaoxiao appeared, and the village head greeted her with great joy.

"Village chief, what's going on?"

"What else could I be doing? Waiting for you, of course!"

"Are you OK?"

"What could possibly happen to me?" Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile. "Everything has been resolved, so you don't need to worry, Village Chief."

"Really?"

"real."

"That's good."

Not only was the village head relieved, but the other villagers, including Granny Wang, were also relieved. Everyone had been extremely worried, but as for why they were so worried...

It's simple; none of them want anything to happen to Su Xiaoxiao.

Hearing that Su Xiaoxiao had been framed and that the problem had been resolved and wasn't theirs, they were finally relieved.

After thanking the village chief, Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan returned home together.

Liu Qiaomei also expressed her concern, but after understanding the situation, she felt incredibly relieved. As for why she felt so relieved, it goes without saying that Su Xiaoxiao really showed the demeanor of a leading lady this time. She investigated the case in less than three days and uncovered the truth, finding out the real culprit behind it all. Sure enough, someone wanted to frame her.

Liu Qiaomei was also very envious of Su Xiaoxiao, thinking that if she had been framed, Su Xiaoxiao probably wouldn't have had the brains and courage to investigate the case thoroughly and find the real culprit. Su Xiaoxiao had just entered the room and was lying on the soft bed, preparing to sleep. This time, she twisted her body into a semi-circle, which startled Pei Yuan when he entered.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

"It's nothing, I'm just tired. I'll take a nap at noon."

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she lay still.

She closed her eyes, and before long she felt the bed next to her sink down, as if someone had lain down beside her.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, and Pei Yuan's face instantly magnified again. Even though it was magnified, he was still just as handsome.

Su Xiaoxiao still exclaimed in surprise, "Oh!"

Then she turned her face away shyly, and Pei Yuan smiled helplessly behind her.

Perhaps she was too tired, or perhaps the truth of the case had finally come to light, Su Xiaoxiao felt more relaxed than ever before. She slept until night, not knowing what time it was. When she woke up, she found someone turning over in bed next to her.

Is Pei Yuan still awake? This isn't like him. He's usually a pretty good sleeper, so why is he having insomnia tonight?
"You haven't slept yet?"

"Ah."

Pei Yuan didn't speak, but responded to her with a nasal tone.

Su Xiaoxiao lay down again, turning over to lie on her side facing Pei Yuan.

"Are you not sleeping because something's bothering you? What's wrong?"

Pei Yuan replied, "No."

In the darkness, Pei Yuan avoided Su Xiaoxiao's gaze, rolled over and lay flat, and stopped talking.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. He clearly seemed preoccupied, as if he was sulking with her.
"Tell me, what happened?"

"It's okay!"

Pei Yuan continued to emphasize this impatiently.

"What kind of tone is that? You're a grown man. If you have it, you have it; if you don't, you don't. Why are you talking like that?"

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she saw that Pei Yuan remained silent and turned his head to the side.

"If you don't mind, you can tell me. Well, I'm not good at many things, but I'm a bit tight-lipped and won't tell outsiders about your affairs."

"This……"

Pei Yuan was speechless.

"Isn't this enough? Then just pretend I'm asleep, and you're talking to someone who's already asleep, is that okay?"

"..."

Pei Yuan remained silent.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to guess, "Are you having relationship problems, or are you out of money?"

"I really can't help you with this relationship problem. But if you're short of money, then I... I can lend you some..."

Su Xiaoxiao now feels she's become less stingy and is even thinking about lending money out.

Pei Yuan remained silent, but Su Xiaoxiao began to mutter to herself, "If there were problems in the relationship, that's unlikely, but I don't have much experience, so I can't offer you any advice..."

"Growing up from childhood, I've never lacked people who like me... My greatest strength is that I'm good at attracting women!"

"You'll get beaten to death for saying that. You'd better watch your words!"

Su Xiaoxiao silently complained. It seemed that Pei Yuan's words were not a problem. Su Xiaoxiao turned over and prepared to go to sleep.
