destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei pulled Lin Peiyao along, running for two blocks before stopping.

"Peiyao, when did you get back?"

Li Wei released the other person's hand, scratched his head, and asked.

Lin Peiyao was, after all, just an eighteen-year-old virgin. After being dragged around by Li Wei in public for so long, two blushes appeared on her cheeks.

"I just got back today."

She responded in a low voice.

"Were you planning to eat at Juweixuan? Let me take you to that old restaurant in Dongcheng."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Lin Peiyao nodded.

The young man before her was, after all, her fiancé, and ever since he tore apart the crown prince and the emperor of Li Kingdom issued an edict to grant them marriage, the engagement could not be dissolved even if she wanted to.

Why not take this opportunity to see if he is a good man to whom you can entrust your life?

If it doesn't suit your taste, you can just stay in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and never come back.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Li Wei led the way, heading towards the east of the city.

They happened to pass by Wenhai Pavilion on the way, and Lin Peiyao suggested going in to take a look, to which Li Wei naturally did not object.

He also realized that his fiancée seemed to be investigating the businesses he was running.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have run into the other person at Juweixuan.

Lin Peiyao entered Wenhai Pavilion and saw that it was bustling with activity. Apart from the book counter at the very outside, the shop assistants inside were carrying around printed papers.

When they saw the beautiful young woman Lin Peiyao and the big boss Li Wei arrive together, they only glanced at them before continuing with their own business.

Li Wei rummaged through the bookshelves in Wenhai Pavilion and found a copy of "The Customs and Things of the Demon Kingdom," which he handed to Lin Peiyao.

"I think this book is very interesting; you can read it to pass the time."

Lin Peiyao couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, but she didn't refuse and accepted it, holding it in her hand.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to see in Wenhai Pavilion, the two left.

Only then did the men start whispering among themselves.

"Who is that woman? She's so beautiful! Young master, you're truly blessed with good fortune!"

"But isn't everyone saying that the young master is Princess Yuzhen's lover...?"

"Those are all rumors! Young Master has been betrothed by the Emperor. How could Her Highness the Princess possibly fall for a married man like him!"

"Hard to say..."

Li Wei and Lin Peiyao were unaware of these discussions. They walked quickly and soon arrived at Juweixuan in the East City.

Li Wei led her into a private room on the third floor, reserved solely for himself and the princess's residence.

He ordered some of Juweixuan's signature dishes, as well as a few dishes that Lin Peiyao used to love.

Although he didn't know if the other person's tastes had changed over the years, since he remembered, he naturally had to show it.

Lin Peiyao felt a warmth in her heart when she saw that there were several local dishes from Longnan County among the dishes that were served, all of which were her favorites.

My fiancé actually remembers things from when I was a child.

"Peiyao, try this stone-grilled meat, it should suit your taste perfectly."

Li Wei pointed with the tip of his chopsticks to a plate of grassland dishes that he had recreated from his memory.

Longnan Prefecture is located near the border and has a developed animal husbandry industry, so its cuisine is somewhat similar to that of the Northwest and grassland cuisine of my previous life.

His fiancée had loved eating meat and drinking milk since she was a child, which is why he ordered this dish.

Lin Peiyao nodded, tried it, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The mutton is tender and delicious; it can be easily separated from the bone with just a gentle shake, indicating that it is cooked to perfection.

She had gotten to know Li Wei better again by this time, and was no longer as reserved as before.

"Brother Li Wei, don't just watch me eat, you should eat some too."

Of course, she didn't know that Li Wei had already abstained from grains. Seeing that he was just looking at the food and not touching it much, she whispered a suggestion.

Li Wei then remembered that he was now playing the role of a Lingqiao cultivator, so he started eating as well.

Half an hour later, the two left Juweixuan.

Li Wei was somewhat surprised by his fiancée's appetite; it was almost as much as he had when he first began practicing the Myriad Laws Return to Nothingness Technique.

It's estimated that he has also practiced some special body-refining techniques.

"Brother Li Wei, I want to go see Madam Xu."

After a meal together, Lin Peiyao had almost completely rediscovered the feeling she had when she was a child, clinging to Li Wei, and was no longer so reserved.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Li Wei naturally wouldn't refuse.

The two soon arrived at Xu Niangzi's flagship store, which was also located in the eastern part of the city.

This woman also had distribution stores on other streets, but they were all very small.

Only the main store sells everything.

Li Wei gave her two sets of underwear, several bottles of perfume, and a box of rouge.

As for the high heels, he was too embarrassed to give them away.

Lin Peiyao wanted to pay, but was refused.

"These are all properties under my name. I don't spend any money on these things, so why should I ask Pei-yao for money?"

"I knew Brother Li Wei wouldn't be an ordinary person. Sure enough, he has not only achieved great success in martial arts, but has also become a wealthy merchant in the capital."

Lin Peiyao joked.

"Of course, I work very hard to earn money because I need to support you in the future."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Peiyao's cheeks flushed red again.

Her fiancé not only seems to have become more successful, but he's also learned to be a smooth talker.

Yet, she couldn't bring herself to feel any aversion.

After all, he is indeed her unwavering fiancé. If they get married in the future, wouldn't he have to support her?

Seeing that Lin Peiyao had seen everything she needed to see, Li Wei escorted her back to the Lin residence.

The two of them walked along the road and slowed down their pace without prior arrangement.

The snow from last night has completely melted, and the ground is damp. The areas that are not often walked on are slippery because they are covered with moss.

It's so slippery that it looks like elderly people with mobility issues would fall over if they stood on it.

"I heard that you, Brother Li Wei, are currently working for the Princess's residence?"

Lin Peiyao asked a question that she was very interested in.

You should know that Princess Yuzhen was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Although some people say that she arranged it herself and that it is not credible.

But Lin Peiyao felt that the other person must be extremely beautiful, otherwise she would be embarrassed to put herself first.

"Yes, I am now an advisor to Princess Yuzhen," Li Wei replied briefly.

"Princess Yuzhen and Prince Jin are said to be vying for the throne. If she fails to seize the throne, her subordinates will definitely be purged by the other side."

"Safety should always be the top priority. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback. When it's time to leave, don't hesitate," Lin Peiyao reminded.

Seeing that Li Wei had many businesses in the capital, she worried that he might be reluctant to leave.

"Of course, if it really comes to that, I'll find a way to get you out of there."

She thought about it again and finally said this.

This was practically a direct indication to Li Wei that there was a mysterious force behind him.

【I'm a rich woman, come and live off me!】

Li Wei glanced back at Lin Peiyao, as if he could see those words hanging over her head, and he immediately lost his composure.

"We've arrived, Sister Peiyao."

He looked at the Lin residence in front of him, stopped in his tracks, and said.

Lin Peiyao nodded and stepped forward.

When the gatekeeper of the Lin family saw that it was his young mistress returning, he quickly opened the gate.

"Brother Li Wei, please come in and have a cup of tea."

Lin Peiyao extended an invitation.

After spending time together today, she felt that her fiancé hadn't changed much compared to the boy in her memory.

Still so considerate and reliable.

Back in Longnan County, it was she who took the initiative to tell Lin Yishui that she wanted to marry Brother Li Wei when she grew up, which is why Lin Yishui had the idea of ​​arranging a marriage between them.

Now that she's certain the other person is still the good brother she remembers, she's naturally very happy to fulfill this marriage agreement.
