Chapter 447.1: glistening and alluring
Zhen Yu’s eyes were glued to Pei Qianhao. Even if I haven’t seen him for more than 10 years, I can still recognise him. Although people’s appearances may change a little, there are many things that will remain similar. For example, the contours of this man’s face are a magnified version of Brother Hu’s!
However, Brother Hu had a gentle demeanour, while this man before me is extremely cold.
“Brother Hu, after leaving our village at the age of seven, you have been doing rather well for yourself. You’ve even established a career, as well as married a wife…” Zhen Yu’s voice faded away towards the end, and she looked towards Su Xi-er. “She is very beautiful, even more so than me. I don’t blame you for marrying her, but why didn’t you ever come back to Peach Blossom Village to visit? Did you forget all about us?”
Pei Qianhao stared at her. “Miss, considering that you seem to have mistaken this Prince for someone that is very precious to you, I won’t punish you.” He then turned towards the guard and coldly ordered, “Send the young lady out.”
“This subordinate obeys the order.” The guard then swiftly turned around and gestured at Zhen Yu. “Miss, perhaps there is really a person in the world who looks like Prince Hao, but Prince Hao is not your Brother Hu. Please follow this subordinate out.:”
Zhen Yu stopped weeping, but her gaze remained dazedly on Pei Qianhao. Have I really mistaken him for Brother Hu? He looks so much like Brother Hu though! After waiting for more than 10 years, I can’t just leave so easily.
Hence, she decided to take a step forward and look towards Su Xi-er. “Since you are his wife, you definitely know whether he has a mole on the right side of his waist. Tell me, does he have one?” Her eyes were limpid and full of earnestness.
Su Xi-er quietly watched her. There’s indeed a mole on Pei Qianhao’s waist, but it would be better to wait until we can thoroughly investigate this before actually telling her the truth. “Miss, my husband doesn’t have a mole on his waist, but I wish you all the best in finding your Brother Hu soon. When you do, please bring him over for me to take a look. I am very curious to see how much he resembles my husband.”
Su Xi-er’s every word, especially ‘husband’ caused sorrow to well up in Zhen Yu’s heart, but she wasn’t someone who would continue to unreasonably pester others.
I can’t exclude the possibility that he’s someone who looks like Brother Hu.
After some contemplation, she wiped her tears and told Pei Qianhao, “I’m sorry that I mistook you for someone else; Brother Hu wouldn’t forget me. Even if you look like him, the fact is that you’re someone different.”
She no longer spared him a single glance, and ignored the guard as she swiftly left the restaurant on her own.
The probing look in Su Xi-er’s eyes only receded when Pei Qianhao embraced her. “Let’s go in. This Prince has ordered a few delicious dishes.” He pulled her into the room.
“The ‘Brother Hu’ the young lady mentioned just now looks like…”
“If it’s someone who looks like this Prince, would you be able to tell the difference with a single glance?”
Su Xi-er smiled. “I’m not a fool; I don’t even need to look, I can just identify you by your aura and scent.”
Pei Qianhao was delighted by her reply, and bent down to kiss her tender lips. “Xi-er.”
“Why did you bring me to a restaurant when there are superb dishes in the residence?”
“To make you happy.” Pei Qianhao truthfully answered. He had inadvertently overheard the soldiers discussing how a man could make a woman happy. Taking her out to tour the streets, go shopping, try tasty food and drinks, and buying her anything that she happened to fancy were among their numerous ideas.
In the past, I was cold towards her, constantly showing her a poker face, and I would even threaten her with punishment sometimes. Now that I finally have her in my arms, I naturally have to learn how to make her happy.
Su Xi-er mischievously blinked. “How do you plan on making me happy?” She had never expected herself to like hearing a man’s sweet talk.
