Chapter 734 - 408: Travel Proposal (Part 2)

Then she looked to the front row at Li Peifeng, who was sitting with Zhao Qingge, and saw their hands clasped together. Her heart still felt a bit miffed.

You can coax me with travel, but how does it make it seem like I’m just an afterthought? Am I not the main character, but Old Zhao is?

Wu Wenyue felt very unbalanced. It might have been tolerable under normal circumstances, but she had just helped Li Peifeng cover up the matter of giving a betrothal gift to He Yimeng, even at the cost of her own conscience and feelings, and yet he still blatantly favored that old woman. This was too much!

Full of anger, Wu Wenyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, "Manning, Sister Tianxuan, there’s some bad news I’ve been meaning to tell you, but..."

Li Peifeng suddenly turned around, his eyes stern: [If you say one more word, I’ll immediately open the cabin door and jump from this ten thousand meters high to my death, making you a widow!]

Wu Wenyue glared back, also indicating with her eyes: [Jump! You jump first, and I’ll follow right after!]

This woman has always been so fierce, truly worthy of her surname. The Wu family of Wu Zetian isn’t joking around with you.

Li Peifeng, being from the Li family of Li Zhi, immediately chose to back down, promising some unfair terms to appease Wu Wenyue’s grievances and jealousy at that moment.

From ’a few times a week’ to ’the size of the engagement ring’, Li Peifeng promised to double the compensation in terms of physical, financial, and emotional companionship, only then was Wu Wenyue satisfied. And this all took but two or three seconds, with Huang Tianxuan and Xu Manning still waiting for her to speak.

"Yueyue, what news do you want to tell us? Speak."

Huang Tianxuan, seemingly pensive, looked at Li Peifeng, "Is it about him?"

"Sort of, and it also concerns us."

Wu Wenyue smiled and said while speaking slowly under Li Peifeng’s gaze, "I just checked my phone, and it seems like out-of-town tourists going to Sunshine City now need a seven-day quarantine. The new announcement was released this morning at six."

...

This was indeed bad news, but it didn’t deter the group from their trip. Since they couldn’t go to Sunshine City, they would just change the route.

There are multiple routes into the Tibetan Region, each with different beautiful scenery.

After some discussion, everyone decided to follow Li Peifeng’s suggestion and take the sparsely populated northern route.

Starting from the Celestial City and ending at the Ali airport in the Tibetan Region, bypassing Sunshine City, following the 317 national highway for a total of 3,200 kilometers.

The advantage is that there are few vehicles on the road, allowing them to avoid pandemic risks, and the trip won’t be obstructed. Along the way, there are many highland lakes, snow-capped mountains, hot springs, and dense Tibetan temples. Both cultural and natural resources are extremely rich.

But the drawback is that the road conditions are poor, with some sections being dirt roads frequently destroyed by landslides and mudslides, making it difficult for cars to pass. Supplies are scarce, with few shops, restaurants, or guesthouses along the way. Hence, not many tourists take this route, which is more favored by off-road adventurers.

Compared to the original route, Li Peifeng also preferred this new route. Even though it would take more time and he might be more exhausted as the driver.

But after all, every man has a bit of the adventure gene in his bones. Li Peifeng even hoped for an encounter with a pack of wolves or a bear attack during this trip, stepping forward to heroically save the damsels, adding a bit of romanticism to the journey.

By noon, arriving in the Celestial City, the group didn’t linger and went straight to the car rental agency they had previously contacted.

A 4WD Iveco camper van, type C, with 6 seats and 6 beds, measuring 5990*2310*3180 mm in length, width, and height, just under 6 meters, fitting the conditions for a C-class blue plate vehicle.

It has a fully equipped bathroom, kitchen, and other living facilities, with a bed above the cab, a bed at the back, and the middle seat can be converted into a bed too.

Though the two-meter bed is slightly small for Li Peifeng, the other four girls were quite satisfied, and after some negotiation, they managed to rent it for 1,500 a day.

In the afternoon, Li Peifeng drove this camper around the malls of the Celestial City to stock up on supplies, not only food and drink but also some medicine for altitude sickness. After filling the vehicle with everything, they checked into a hotel to rest a night before setting off formally the next morning.

But when booking the hotel room, a small incident occurred.

Li Peifeng originally intended to book four rooms, with Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning sharing one, while he, Zhao Qingge, and Huang Tianxuan each had their own separate room to avoid any conflict over who he stayed with.

But Old Zhao suddenly suggested booking just three rooms, then looked at Li Peifeng and said softly, "You and I will share a room... we need a double bed room."

Zhao Qingge took the initiative to propose sharing a room, so naturally, Li Peifeng had no intention of objecting. Xu Manning did have a small opinion, tugging at his hand hoping he’d object, but Li Peifeng did not say a word.

Having never shared a bed with Old Zhao at home, now having the opportunity, Li Peifeng certainly wanted to seize it, even if the other three had objections, he insisted.

"I hope you all understand, after all, I’m about to marry her... when I marry you all, I’ll definitely take more care of your feelings too! Okay, my wives?"

Before entering the room, Li Peifeng grabbed the three girls, saying words that seemed comforting but were actually inconsiderate. They didn’t listen, turned away, and went into their respective rooms, with Huang Tianxuan joining Wu and Xu’s room.

"What should we eat later?"
