Chapter 316 The wolf is coming

“…I’m sorry.” Lu Yibai hurriedly backed away, keeping a safe distance from the woman in front of him.

"Get out! Get out!" The man waved him away, already feeling the urge to hit him. "There's no one here with the surname Xie. Go back to where you came from!"

"..."

Lu Yibai remained silent. He glanced at the menacing-looking man before him, then out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the woman beside him who was only wrapped in a bath towel.

Neither of them was wearing clothes; they were clearly doing *that*. How could Xie Zhaoyuan possibly be eating hot pot in this room?
Lu Yibai didn't need to doubt it to know that he had been tricked.

"Damn it..." he cursed through gritted teeth and stormed away from the doorway.

"No, who the hell are you cursing?!" The man heard the word he swore at and immediately chased after him out of the room.

"Forget it, forget it..." The woman reached out and grabbed him. "He's some crazy lunatic, just leave him alone."

"Fuck!" The man couldn't swallow his anger and promptly returned the word to Lu Yibai, "You're the one who fucks! Your whole family fucks!!"

Lu Yibai didn't have time to pay attention to him, only focusing on questioning Xie Zhaoyuan through gritted teeth: "Qin Song, didn't you say you were eating hot pot in room 1804? You fucking tricked me!"

"Yes," Qin Song readily admitted, "I was just teasing you. Are you surprised? Are you taken aback?"

"You—" Lu Yibai was so angry that he trembled all over and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Hahahaha!" Pei Xingzhi couldn't hold back any longer and finally burst out laughing.

Lu Yibai was slightly taken aback, then tentatively asked, "Pei Xingzhi?"

"Hmm." Pei Xingzhi took off his glasses and wiped away the tears of laughter with a tissue. "It's me, Mr. Lu, hello."

Lu Yibai stared wide-eyed in astonishment: "How come you're with Qin Song? Weren't you in a meeting?"

Pei Xingzhi looked at Xie Zhaoyuan and imitated her, spouting nonsense: "Yes, I did go to a meeting, in my dream."

"Hahahaha!" Xie Zhaoyuan burst out laughing.

Lu Yibai, on the other end of the phone, stood there like a wooden statue, his face turning white, then red, then pale—a truly fascinating display of emotions.

"You...you've all teamed up to mess with me, haven't you?"

"Yes," Xie Zhaoyuan replied with a grin, "Our lives as a couple are so boring, thankfully we have President Lu to keep us entertained!"

"Mr. Lu, how's the view from 1804? And isn't that guy's figure sexy?"

"Hahahahaha!!" Pei Xingzhi was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

“…Qin Song!” Lu Yibai gritted his teeth and called out Qin Song’s name fiercely.

"Tsk, Mr. Lu, why don't you learn your lesson?" Xie Zhaoyuan rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless. "Qin Song is a thing of the past. I'm called Xie Zhaoyuan now. You can't even pronounce your business partner's name correctly, so why should you expect them to continue doing business with you?"

"Hmph," Lu Yibai sneered, his tone filled with intense hatred, "You two probably never intended to make a deal with me from the very beginning."

“That’s true.” Pei Xingzhi picked up his phone from the table and placed it between himself and Xie Zhaoyuan. “President Lu, I really never intended to make a deal with you from the beginning. The reason I agreed to your request was just to tease you, who knew you would actually take it seriously.”

"Sigh..." Xie Zhaoyuan sighed affectedly, "President Lu, how could you be so stupid? I told you that Pei Xingzhi was in a meeting at the studio, but at the same time I took Pei Xingzhi's phone and went to Brilliant Plaza to eat hot pot. Such a big loophole was right in front of you, and you didn't even notice it."

"If you were even a little bit smarter, you wouldn't have been tricked so badly just now."

“Yes,” Pei Xingzhi echoed from the side.

"..." Lu Yibai gripped his phone tightly, speechless with anger at the couple's coordinated attack. Although separated by a screen, Xie Zhaoyuan could clearly feel Lu Yibai's fury. As if she felt Lu Yibai wasn't angry enough, she paused for a moment and then stabbed him in the back.

"Mr. Lu, could you briefly share your thoughts on being tricked? Are you still willing to do business with my wife and me?"

If Lu Yibai knew even a little about Fang Bo's whereabouts, he could confidently say "no" right now. But Fang Bo's whereabouts were unknown, and he was terrified that Pei Xingzhi would expose what he had done. So even though he was furious, he didn't have the confidence to say "no" to Xie Zhaoyuan.

"...What do I have to do for you to hand Fang Bo over to me?"

"Hmm..." Xie Zhaoyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then pretended to be troubled and said, "The answer to this question is too complicated, and neither of us can answer it in a short time. How about this, President Lu, go back and wait for our notification? As soon as Pei Xingzhi and I have the answer, we will call you immediately."

Lu Yibai knew she was playing a trick on him again, but he had no choice but to play along, saying, "How long do I have to wait?"

"Ah..." Xie Zhaoyuan opened her mouth and ate the kiwi that Pei Xingzhi fed her in one bite. "It won't be long. Neither Pei Xingzhi nor I are indecisive people. As soon as we have an answer in our hearts, we will tell President Lu immediately."

"President Lu, please don't worry. My wife and I may not be good people, but we're not exactly trustworthy either."

“…What?” Lu Yibai was shocked.

"Uh..." Xie Zhaoyuan was too lazy to explain to him, and simply said perfunctorily, "Anyway, just go back and wait for the notification. I will contact you as soon as there is news."

"Okay, that's all. Bye."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

"You're so naughty." Pei Xingzhi pinched Xie Zhaoyuan's cheek, his eyes smiling and moist, looking very tempting.

Xie Zhaoyuan raised an eyebrow smugly: "This guy used to mess with you like that, now I have to get my revenge!"

"Hmm." Pei Xingzhi nodded, completely agreeing with her idea. "So, what does my wife want to do next?"

"Next..." Xie Zhaoyuan raised his hand and touched his chin, his dark eyes darting around slyly, and a bad idea quickly popped into his mind.

"Next, we're going to play a game."

"What game?" Pei Xingzhi asked, his face full of curiosity.

Xie Zhaoyuan: "The wolf is coming!"

……

Xie Mingyi and the others arrived home around 1 a.m.

Pei Xingzhi and Xie Zhaoyuan had prepared a meal at home in advance, and as soon as they arrived home, they immediately enjoyed a hot reunion dinner.

The whole family sat around the table, creating a lively atmosphere.

“Hey…” Pei Yulin put down his chopsticks and looked at the group of people at the table with red eyes, and said with great emotion, “It has been a long time since we’ve had such a lively meal since I separated from the family.”

"Mother-in-law," Bai Ruiying said, holding her hand and smiling reassuringly, "From now on, we're family. No matter when, we can always have a lively and joyful time together."

"Okay." Pei Yulin patted the back of her hand. "I hope our family can always be this good."

"Absolutely!" Xie Mingyi stood up from his chair, holding a wine glass. "Come on, let's raise a glass to celebrate Zhaozhao's safe return home and to express our gratitude for this hard-won reunion!"

"okay!"

The other people at the table stood up and raised their glasses to clink with those next to them.

Xie Zhaoyuan: "I hope that from now on, we will all have sweet and happy days!"
