Chapter 791 423: Dilemma (Part 3)

Or even secretly handling things with Tianxuan in Hangzhou, then persuading Zhao Qingge?

With less than three days until Li Peifeng turns twenty-five, he remains youthful, optimistic, and confident about the future. Even with Zhao Qingge's firm opposition, causing the grand unity to stall, he doesn't feel it's a dead end.

Many times, things not going as planned isn't the end; it's just a process. Persist a little longer, and what you desire might be on the road ahead. Even if persistence leads to a worse situation, never completely lose hope.

With complete persistence, life can truly bloom!

"Everything's going smoothly on my end, my dear, so rest easy and take care of yourself. We'll come to Hangzhou to see you on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

With this mindset, Li Peifeng, before their conversation ended, secretly sent a 'telegram' to Huang Tianxuan in his heart.

To date, Huang Tianxuan is thirty weeks pregnant. At twenty-eight weeks, due to her parents' strong insistence, she took leave from her advisor to return to her hometown in Hangzhou from the Capital to prepare for the baby. The couple has been long-distance for half a month now, relying daily on their telepathic connection.

It seems that their emotional bond has deepened, or that Li Peifeng, having long practiced telepathy with them, has become more adept, leading to some more profound changes in this skill.

Li Peifeng can now communicate one-on-one, as well as one-to-many, much like setting up a chat room, bringing several girls into shared telepathy, with up to five people connected at once.

However, this communication method is too advanced; with multiple thoughts coming through, it's difficult to distinguish who is who. Not knowing whom you're talking to can be disorienting, and spending too much time might even blur the sense of 'self.'

Li Peifeng tried it once, and the participants all gave it a poor review, warning him not to use it again.

Another change is a higher match in communication, making the exchange smooth and the thoughts and experiences felt more nuanced.

For example, with two people's neural signals exchanged over a 3,000-mile stretch from Ningyuan to Hangzhou, their minds intertwine and transmit countless electrical signals, creating various images where one's thoughts, ideas, images, and even the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch can accurately appear in another's mind, easing the longing in a long-distance relationship.

Even if one is at the ends of the earth and another at the far reaches of the sea, they can feel each other's presence and engage in real communication anytime, anywhere, eliminating questions like, 'What is he doing?' or 'Does he still love me?'

Moreover, Huang Tianxuan is more concerned about whether Li Peifeng can, as planned after the New Year, bring his parents to meet her own.

So, as she eats fruit while watching TV at home, she hears Li Peifeng's 'telegram' and, feeling joy, asks with disbelief:

"Are you sure? Uncle and Auntie can both come?"

"My dad will surely go, but my mom may not. It's only been two months since Yilan was born; it's not suitable for traveling far, and someone still needs to take care of him."

"That's okay, it's fine if Uncle comes."

Huang Tianxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and then 'saw' the scene of Li Peifeng talking with Zhao Qingge and Li Qiyuan, causing some doubt and concern. "Old Zhao doesn't seem too willing; you should work on it since she's just pregnant and not young anymore... Be careful because if she gets upset, don't blame me later."

She's so considerate and even thinks about me!

Li Peifeng felt deeply moved, assuring Huang Tianxuan not to worry, saying he would handle everything. Once the conversation was over, and everyone left the study, he conveyed a similar "everything is going smoothly" message to the very concerned Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning.

Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning were half-convinced, because while he sent word to them secretly, he was openly peeling tangerines for Zhao Qingge.

But after eavesdropping on Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi's conversation in the bedroom, learning the Hangzhou trip was set, Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning truly believed and let go of their dissatisfaction.

"Honey, should I go to Hangzhou with you?"

"Then... what about Yilan?"

"My sister can take care of him for a couple of days; going early and returning early doesn't matter much. Moreover, Fengfeng's kid was born out of wedlock. Mr. and Mrs. Huang might be upset; if you go and I don't, it seems disrespectful... Alas, at the end of the day, it's our fault."

Great, it's better for both of us to go together!

Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning listened at the doorway for a while, then quietly returned to the living room and discreetly gauged Zhao Qingge's attitude towards the parents going to Hangzhou together.

But Zhao Qingge seemed to misunderstand and said nothing.

Wu Wenyue frowned slightly, getting straight to the point: "If Uncle and Aunt go to Hangzhou, are forced by circumstances to withhold information, and settle the marriage with the Huang family, what will you do?"

Zhao Qingge was silent for a moment, then calmly stated, "You wouldn't want to know."

She glanced briefly at Li Peifeng, then looked at Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning, interrupting them as they were about to probe further: "Anyway, this isn't your concern. Now that dinner's over, can you both head home for the holidays?"

Xu Manning, thoughtful, looked at Zhao Qingge's lips, then whispered to Wu Wenyue: "Do you think she's just being stubborn or genuinely indifferent?"

Wu Wenyue frowned slightly. "I think she doesn't even know the answer herself."

Xu Manning arched her eyebrows and looked to Li Peifeng, hoping to discern Zhao Qingge's true feelings.

But Li Peifeng only laughed ambiguously, saying, "Ah yeah, yeah, thinking too much is unnecessary; the most important thing now is to enjoy the New Year!"
