Chapter 44: Take the initiative to surrender

Pei Zhi took off his cloak and put it down casually: "Why are you so stupid? I didn't know how to wait in the house."

Jiang Li's almond-shaped eyes narrowed: "I said I would wait for the third brother to come back."

"If I don't come back tonight, are you going to wait here all the time?"

Qiantan said from the side: "The third young master is really right. If the third young master never comes back, the lady will probably be waiting here."

She was usually afraid of this third young master, and today she saw that Jiang Li had been freezing outside for so long, and her tone of voice was not very good when she spoke.

Pei Zhi looked at the little girl standing next to him.

Jiang Li naturally felt his gaze, and said with some embarrassment: "I believe the third brother will come back."

The little girl stretched out her hand to greet the servants, and the courtyard lit up in an instant, with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere.

Pei Zhi was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

"What is this for?"

The little girl stood under the light, the wind gently blowing her hair, her eyes curved like crescent moons: "Third brother, happy birthday."

Pei Zhi was so distracted that he forgot that today was his birthday.

The servants in the courtyard began to work, setting up a table of food in the courtyard.

Jiang Li came closer and wrinkled her nose: "Why does Third Brother smell like blood?"

Pei Zhi didn't want to talk more, but when he saw the little girl wrinkled her nose, he subconsciously stepped away. He hurried back all the way without having to change his clothes in a hurry to see if he was smoking her.

Jiang Li raised her head with worry on her face: "Is Third Brother injured somewhere?"

Pei Zhi lowered his eyes and said, "It's someone else's blood."

Jiang Li didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Pei Zhi was a man who had walked out of mountains of swords and seas of fire.

The dishes in the room were cooled and rewarmed. Jiang Li was a little embarrassed and brought out a bowl of noodles: "Third brother, the noodles are all gone. Let me make a new bowl for third brother."

Pei Zhi took it from her: "It doesn't matter."

"Third brother, how does it taste?"

Although her noodles were already lumpy, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask.

Pei Zhi's expression couldn't change, he just ate the noodles in his bowl quietly: "It's okay."

Jiang Li was very happy to hear this: "If Third Brother likes it, then eat more."

After Pei Zhi finished eating, Jiang Li's eyes looked hopeful: "Third brother, do you want another bowl?"

Qian Tan stood next to his young lady, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble. What the young lady said was really——

Pei Zhi did not answer, but turned to speak: "Jiang Li, how did you know that today is my birthday?" He had never told any of the Jiang family members, and it was even less possible for him to tell the omen.

The third brother still has a line of defense against himself!

Jiang Li came closer: "Third brother, you can always know if you have a heart."

Pei Zhi licked the corner of his mouth, so thoughtful.

However, it doesn't matter if Jiang Li knows something about herself.

The two of them ate some more, and just after they finished, Jiang Li said: "Third brother, I have prepared a surprise for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fireworks rose outside the yard, and the whole sky lit up beautifully.

Jiang Li found this after a lot of effort. Pei Zhi looked at the sky and suddenly felt very calm.

"Jiang Li, do you want to drink?"

Jiang Li doesn't know how to drink, but this is Pei Zhi's first invitation. She hesitated for a moment and nodded quickly: "I want to try."

"Qiantan, bring the wine."
