Chapter 599
Pei Yanzhou smiled half-heartedly, "Then you should tell your grandparents that I am your ex-husband?"
Cheng Xi's eyes widened, and she pulled out the little hand he held in his palm, and squeezed the back of his hand.
After only squeezing twice, Pei Yanzhou turned around and wrapped her little hand tightly again.
The two secretly fought several times, until footsteps came from outside and came in. Cheng Xi pulled his hand back again and threw the firewood into the fire pretending to be serious.
The person who came in was a distant relative from his hometown. The relative poured a cup of tea and went out.
After a brief period of silence, Cheng Xi had calmed down.
"You shouldn't have given my uncle and aunt so much money just now." She muttered in a low voice.
Pei Yanzhou didn't take it seriously, "If I don't give them that much money, they may not welcome me to stay and eat and drink for free during the New Year. Anyway, I have nothing but a lot of money."
"You shouldn't have come here. Who wouldn't be with your family during the Chinese New Year?" Cheng Xi lowered his head and stared at the flames.
"I can't help it. I haven't seen you for more than half a month. I can't think about it when I'm busy at work. When I'm free, all I can think about is you." Pei Yanzhou chuckled, "If my parents knew the truth, they would probably scold me for being unfilial."
Cheng Xi's heart and eyelashes trembled when she heard this.
Ever since Pei Yanzhou appeared in front of her, her heart had never been calm.
"Then... where will you sleep at night?" Cheng Xi suddenly remembered something, "There is only one empty bed at my uncle's house, and my mother and I slept on it, unless... You sleep together with my eldest cousin."
Pei Yanzhou thought of the tall and thick cousin he saw outside just now, and his handsome body froze, "Except...I have slept with you, I have never had the habit of sleeping with anyone else."
Cheng Xi could understand his feelings.
It's not that she dislikes her eldest cousin. There is actually a reason why the eldest cousin can't find a girlfriend. A grown man especially doesn't like to take a shower.
That's all, I still snore like thunder at night.
When she got up at night to go to the bathroom, she could still hear the snoring of her older cousin next door.
If Pei Yanzhou was allowed to sleep with his eldest cousin, he would probably be tortured crazy.
"I sleep with my mother..." Cheng Xi said faintly. It was impossible for her to sleep in the same bed with him anyway. "There is a small town nearby. It's half an hour's drive away, but it's not like the one in the Chinese New Year." I guess no one is opening the hotel either.”
"Then I'll sleep in the car." Pei Yanzhou had already made up his mind, "Put down the back seat, which is big enough for me to lie down on. You can just find me a quilt."
Cheng Xi was startled and frowned. It was not very good to come all the way to let someone sleep in the car, especially during the Chinese New Year. "Can you... get used to it? Will it be cold at night?"
"It won't work if the quilt is thicker," Pei Yanzhou said. "I used to go on self-driving trips to the northwest with Chongli and the others, and we often slept in the car."
"Why are you sleeping in the car? There must be a B&B over there."
"There are no B&Bs in some uninhabited areas." Pei Yanzhou took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his hand without lighting it. "We went there seven or eight years ago. At that time, tourism in the Northwest was not as popular as it is now, not to mention many places. There was no one in the B&B, and when we were in the car at night, there was a pack of wolves crawling next to us, so we didn’t even dare to go for a convenience.”
Cheng Xi laughed out loud, "I didn't expect you to be in such a mess. I thought overbearing CEOs like you would usually punch a wolf when they see it..."
"Sorry, I am also an ordinary person. Who doesn't cherish life?"
The two of them sat by the fire, chatting.
In the evening, after dinner, the guests left one after another.
Cheng Xi went to see someone off, and a distant cousin who was over thirty years old patted Cheng Xi's shoulder gently, "Xiaoxi, as someone who has been here, I would like to remind you that your boyfriend is very good and handsome. I asked your mother and she said that because of her extraordinary family background, I have always felt that women should marry high, but the high marriage should not be too far apart, otherwise it will be difficult to control the man. "
Cheng Xi smiled and said, "Thank you sister for the reminder, but I am still young and have never thought about getting married."
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with a woman getting married later. Don't listen to your aunt and uncle. I just regret getting married too early."
The cousin smiled, got in the car and left.
Cheng Xi put his hands in his pockets and watched these relatives who had only seen each other for several years go away.
