Chapter 680 - 391: Where Does the Future Lead? (3)

"What are you rambling about? Obviously, you wanted to eat water..."

The latter half of the sentence was said by Huang Tianxuan but wasn’t finished as the voice message ended there.

Li Peifeng didn’t shy away, just played it at a lower volume, but it was enough for Zhao Qingge to hear the messages clearly.

After listening, the former found it somewhat amusing and turned to Zhao Qingge: "You should come upstairs with me. Coincidentally, the three of them are all here, we can have a deep chat."

Zhao Qingge’s eyebrows and eyes lowered slightly: "...Alright."

Close the door, get out of the car, go upstairs.

Elevator goes up, doors open, enter the room.

"Hubby is back...eh?"

"Professor Zhao?"

In the next moment, the three girls inside were surprised by the joint return of Zhao Qingge and Li Peifeng. But seeing the calm yet heavy atmosphere they carried, they didn’t immediately ask Zhao Qingge his purpose for coming.

Only Huang Tianxuan showed a smile: "Peifeng, there’s progress in the drug research. It might conclude the process research stage before you graduate. Also, we’ve found a very good side effect; it seems to be quite effective in treating cardiovascular diseases, although it’s not yet 100% certain."

"That’s really good."

Li Peifeng casually replied as he changed into slippers.

His attitude made the three girls’ eyes grow more serious.

After changing his shoes, Li Peifeng turned and faced the three, pursed his lips, and said, "Qingge’s parents suggested both families meet, and I agreed. My dad’s train is at three in the morning and he’ll arrive tomorrow morning."

After speaking, without waiting for their response, Li Peifeng silently used [Heartfelt Connection] to transmit the conversation he and Zhao Qingge had just had, including his feelings and concerns about getting the marriage certificate together.

Perhaps because their feelings were getting deeper, using Heartfelt Connection became much easier than before. Just mentally reciting the other’s name could establish a link, then express the thoughts in one second to explain everything to the three of them, which took Li Peifeng less than three seconds in total.

As for the three in front of him, they needed time to digest the information. Once Li Peifeng sat on the sofa, they had barely processed it, and their expressions became more shocked or incredulous mixed with anger.

"So you want to choose..."

"Listen to me."

Li Peifeng shook his head to interrupt, pulling Zhao Qingge to sit on the sofa, and letting the other three sit as well. Then he himself took a small stool to sit opposite.

A coffee table separated them, the distance seemed close but also felt far.

"..."

Facing the varied expressions and unified gaze, Li Peifeng tried twice to speak but restrained himself. After half a minute, he finally prepared, but speaking still felt arduous;

"It might be due to nature, or some peculiar experiences have led me to become someone who doesn’t like leaving backup plans. I tend to first see rare sights, seek dangerous views, say what I most want to say, and love the person I most want to love."

"I thought not leaving a backup plan wasn’t the same as cutting off hope. Moreover, I feel being with you is very joyful, making me reluctant to look too far ahead... So when you insisted I choose back then, I wanted to be shameless and choose to give each other undeniable love daily, thus recording my life with true meaning."

At this point, Li Peifeng stiffly didn’t know what expression to make, glancing at the faces opposite, trying his best to maintain eye contact: "But looking at it now, I didn’t consider things thoroughly enough."

Huang Tianxuan leaned slightly forward, covering her face with one hand, only showing the corners of a bitter smile: "You realize that too?"

Miss Xu looked like she was in the depths of despair: "The bad news is, he just realized!"

"Realized a bit late!"

Wu Wenyue scoffed, then seemingly forgetting the topic at hand, criticized Li Peifeng: "Weren’t you supposed to bring me... bring Manning fruit salad? Where’s the fruit salad?"
