Chapter 704 - 400: Dinner on International Women’s Day
He Yimeng: "I saw your uncle on campus yesterday."
He Yimeng: "Let’s break up."
The gap between the first sentence and the second was so wide that Mr. Li didn’t react immediately, but after pondering a bit, he thought there might actually be some causal relationship between them.
If He Yimeng ran into his old man, she would likely go up and chat. Even if she didn’t, Li Qiyuan would.
Because he could recognize the white-haired girl who had stirred up trouble at the lecture before and had a romantic entanglement with his son. Out of curiosity and the desire to find out who Li Peifeng’s fifth girlfriend actually was, Old Li would probably step up to ask about their past stories and get more information.
Once asked, and a bit of a chat... When He Yimeng heard that Li Qiyuan came to the Capital to meet the girl’s parents to discuss the wedding date, she would definitely be a bit shaken!
Li Peifeng, a bit muddled and with mixed feelings, dialed He Yimeng’s voice call. Two or three seconds later, it connected.
"I thought we didn’t even get to hold hands, so where’s the breakup coming from..."
Li Peifeng actually wanted to ask in a high-handed manner, but after thinking it over, he decided not to, and instead sighed, "You’re breaking up with me again, huh?"
He Yimeng calmly replied, "It’s not about breaking up. You never truly belonged to me. I’m just returning you to them. Besides, you’re already the fiancé of four women. You probably don’t miss losing one more like me."
Seems like He Yimeng knew everything, but why didn’t his old dad tell him? Maybe he was worried about advising his fifth girlfriend to break up, fearing I’d hold a grudge?
Oh my dear dad, you came all the way to the Capital just to advise a breakup for me.
Li Peifeng felt helpless, his tone akin to haggling, "How about you reconsider?"
"I thought about it all night yesterday, no need to think any further."
He Yimeng was calm, as if she’s truly let go, "My interesting soul is enough to support me through a long life."
Speaking with resolve is just a physiological thing!
Li Peifeng roughly estimated the days—it’s very likely that it’s He Yimeng’s period these days, but he wasn’t too sure, so he subtly asked, "Your relative’s visiting, right? How about we part hands for a few days?"
"It’s not about that. If you have nothing else, I’m hanging up."
"Happy holidays. I’ll come over to see you later."
"No need, plus they’re here. Doo doo doo~"
The call ended. Li Peifeng thought for two seconds, took out the gift he prepared earlier, and hailed a cab to Jade District.
He Yimeng sounded unwelcoming on the phone, but when Li Peifeng actually got downstairs, she quickly came down.
"Breaking up is such a trivial matter, is it really worth you coming all this way?"
He Yimeng was a bit surprised, but Li Peifeng ignored the sarcasm in her words and glanced at her wrist. Great, the Cartier blue balloon watch he gifted her earlier was still on her!
Li Peifeng smiled slightly, handed over the gift box in his hand, "Custom gold jewelry—there are bracelets, necklaces, and rings, totaling 131.14 grams."
He Yimeng didn’t reach out, staring at him carefully, "I already broke up with you, don’t you get it?"
"Just think of it as me casting bread upon the waters."
Li Peifeng was unfazed, "The truest feelings are always giving without expecting returns, persevering without asking for results."
He Yimeng couldn’t help but chuckle, "Already the fiancé of four women, and you’re trying to play pure in front of your fifth? That’s not right, plus Sister Yue is just upstairs."
No need for her to say, Li Peifeng’s ears were very sharp; he already heard Wu Wenyue’s voice upstairs. She was here to shoot a video with He Yimeng, so she brought a team to Jade District to discuss the script with the other party, just waiting for both teams to finalize the script before heading to the shooting location together.
Li Peifeng was meticulous. Before he came, he already saw He Yimeng’s house situation through Mutual Thoughts. While entering the community, he avoided the sight of her house window, afraid Wu Wenyue would see his figure from inside.
And He Yimeng came out this time on the excuse of having a courier, destined not to stay long. Otherwise, it would arouse Wu Wenyue’s suspicion. Once suspicious, she could very well open the door and poke her head out to check the corridor.
You should know, He Yimeng’s house is on the first floor. Once Wu Wenyue opens the door, she’d be able to see the two meeting privately...
"Alright."
Li Peifeng sighed, "Since you know how much risk I’m taking, you better take the gift so I didn’t come for nothing. Got the garage key with you? Put the stuff in the garage, and I’ll leave after that."
Letting He Yimeng take the gift upstairs is also easy to expose the risk.
"Really want to call Wu Wenyue down, let her see your current behavior."
"I just asked if you want the gift?"
"You have no objection if I take it and sell it to someone else, right? Gold prices aren’t cheap, over a hundred grams can fetch over fifty thousand."
"If you want to sell, just sell it to me, I’ll wire you the money now and take the stuff back."
He Yimeng seemed to want to say something more, but Li Peifeng directly resorted to mind communication, which had a higher information exchange rate.
A second felt like a millennium, very convenient.
In just a brief moment, the two discussed whether to take the gift and whether to break up. He Yimeng also greeted and cursed Li Peifeng over three hundred times, with more than a hundred unspeakable curses, while Mr. Li remained objectively calm throughout, deeply analyzing himself and the other, articulating his understanding of their relationship, and even prognosticating about the future.
He Yimeng couldn’t help but also express her views.
