"Why is no one eating, are you full? Shall I make some noodles for anyone?"
"Me too."
"Are there any dumplings?"
"Will frozen ones do?"
"Yes, go ahead, I want to eat dumplings."
When the hotpot reaches the staple food stage, it's a sign the dinner party is about to end, and it's now nearly eight o'clock. The previous topic of "marriage" was concluded by Li Peifeng with the reasoning of "more marriage, more romance," leading to Huang, Wu, and Xu mocking him, calling him a shameless romantic brute.
Zhao Qingge might be disheartened, knowing Li Peifeng would never go along with her, and realizing those three have seemingly formed an alliance leaving her isolated, she remained silent and quietly poured herself a glass of beer to drink.
However, she didn't use the alcohol to vent anger, stopping after two or three beers, and Li Peifeng didn't try to dissuade her.
The overall atmosphere of the dinner wasn't harmonious, but at least there was no physical conflict or verbal attack, which comforted Li Peifeng. But He Yimeng, watching the spectacle, couldn't help but criticize: "Why doesn't anyone flip the table? Your advisor is too weak. What's the point of keeping you without an outburst? If it were me, I'd at least scold those three, then give you a lesson, gradually establish my position as the main wife..."
"You, shut up!"
After cutting the connection with He Yimeng, the dinner table mess was cleared away, and Zhao Qingge couldn't wait any longer. She said, "I've been drinking, you take me home."
"Alright!"
Li Peifeng quickly agreed, suspecting Old Zhao drank to find an excuse for him to drive her.
But Huang Tianxuan said, "Haven't you been drinking too?"
"No worries, I metabolize fast."
Wu Wenyue laughed, "How fast, faster than a police car? You drank three bottles, you know?"
Xu Manning said, "Let him take her, I'll call the police as soon as they leave."
Li Peifeng frowned slightly, about to say something, but Huang Tianxuan waved her hand, interrupting: "It's fine, let me take her, besides, I want to talk with Professor Zhao."
Zhao Qingge glanced at Li Peifeng, then at Huang Tianxuan, before finally looking at the other two girls, noticing their subtle expressions. She slowly nodded in agreement, "Let's go."
Huang Tianxuan wanting to take Zhao Qingge home wasn't a spur-of-the-moment kindness. Instead, it was a planned move executed by the three girls after a secret discussion post-meal, with Huang Tianxuan being the most suitable candidate.
One has to admit, after being collectively mocked by Li Peifeng, the three girls' relationships with each other greatly improved, with a subtle trend of mutual acceptance, but Zhao Qingge seemed somewhat out-of-place, struggling to adapt.
And her threat was ironically the greatest, not only receiving Li Peifeng's favor, but she also had the intention to unleash a 'nuclear bomb,' disrupting the other three's future marriage plans.
Such a world-class calamity, why keep her?
Might as well ruthlessly destroy this flower, making Zhao Duoduo die in a car accident... not going to happen, absolutely not.
Huang Tianxuan simply wanted to have a good talk with Zhao Qingge, since her constant aversion means inability to accept, then quickly exit, for everyone's relief.
Li Peifeng was naturally aware of their intentions, and somewhat worried.
Because the strongest fortress often breaks from within, his father's advice for breakup counts as an external conflict, while the internal conflict of the three girls unitedly wanting Zhao Qingge away from him presents a greater threat, and cannot be avoided!
"Wait a moment, Duoduo, you didn't take the gift!"
Li Peifeng watched as Huang Tianxuan and Zhao Qingge finished changing their shoes, ready to leave, hurriedly handed the gift box and the bank card on the coffee table to Old Zhao: "Take it."
Zhao Qingge took the gift bag but didn't take the bank card with a billion-dollar balance...
A bit tempting, but not much. Zhao Qingge, noble and steadfast, never covets wealth.
Moreover, this isn't solely for her; the other girls have theirs too, with talk of dowry money.
If I accept this money, wouldn't it indirectly mean agreeing to this disciple's harem plan?
"Keep it for yourself!"
"Well, I'll bring it to school for you tomorrow."
"No need... click."
Seeing the door open, Li Peifeng reluctantly got up to send her off: "Duoduo... goodbye... will I see you again, Duoduo? When we meet again, be even more wonderful than today, okay?"
"Alright, alright!"
Xu Manning grabbed Li Peifeng's hand with her left hand, stopping him from approaching the door, while trying to cover his mouth with her right hand, preventing farewell speeches, speaking disdainfully: "Idiot, stop licking, driver, quickly take this rose just past its prime away!"
"Don't!"
Li Peifeng, unfazed, despite Xu Manning's interference, still reached the door and held Zhao Qingge's hand, making her glance back surprised and speak emotionally: "Let me take you, advisor. Let me take you... I'm a good driver, fast and steady, absolutely getting you home safely!"
"They've already agreed to let Sister Xuan take her, are you really thinking of breaking the law and getting jailed, drunkard?"
Wu Wenyue impatiently tried to separate the teacher-student duo's hands, motioning to Huang Tianxuan: "Go, go, go, don't mind him."
Xu Manning also tightly embraced Li Peifeng, coquettishly whining in front of the audience: "Husband, don't go, stay home with us. Yueyue and I will play games with you, that ancient tyrant game with the blindfold you mentioned before, where you catch us."
As she spoke, Miss Xu couldn't help but laugh, seeing Zhao Qingge's face darken, she grew even more proud, as if flaunting, shifting from a simple hug to a koala-style cling, not only hugging but also wrapping one leg around, while she tiptoed her right foot to kiss Li Peifeng's lips...
