ARBW Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Seeing Lin Mian’s sloppy posture, Pei Yuhuai wanted to grab him and give him a proper lesson.

Among the next generation of the Pei family, only the eldest son of the eldest brother was somewhat decent. The rest were all unreliable.

These children happened to be afraid of him, so they would listen to him a bit, but they had no fear of the other elders.

However, Pei Yuhuai was too busy and didn’t have much time to educate them.

Today, he happened to see them all gathered together. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cai Cai running over, laughing and giggling.

Dressed like a colorful butterfly, the underage Cai Cai was wearing an especially revealing tank top, which immediately caught Pei Yuhuai’s attention.

Pei Yuhuai: “What are you wearing?”

Hearing this, Cai Cai smiled guiltily and then pulled off a cousin’s jacket and put it on herself.

The cousin was furious, “Don’t you have your own clothes? Can’t you wear them properly? Why do you always take mine?”

Cai Cai ignored him, put on his jacket, and then pulled Lin Mian away.

Once she was out of Pei Yuhuai’s sight, she immediately reached out to Lin Mian, “Auntie, where’s mine? Where’s mine?”

Hearing this, Lin Mian handed her the last red envelope he had.

Cai Cai didn’t open it to check but just weighed it in her hand and couldn’t help but smile happily.

“Hehe, thank you, thank you, Auntie. I wish you and Uncle eternal love, early blessings of children, and a lifetime of happiness together.”

Lin Mian was quite helpless upon hearing her words, “Don’t call me Auntie, just call me Uncle.”

“Why Uncle? You’re not much older than me. Calling you Uncle doesn’t feel as close as Auntie.”

Lin Mian couldn’t persuade her, and he didn’t really care about the title, so he didn’t push her to change it.

After that, because he was with Cai Cai the whole time, Lin Mian didn’t use Pei Yuhuai’s spare phone to play games.

He returned the spare phone to Pei Yuhuai and went around with Cai Cai to meet all the younger members of the family.

Pei Yuhuai had told him before that there were many children in the Pei family, so he didn’t need to worry about carrying on the family line.

At the time, he didn’t understand how many “many” really was. But after seeing them today, he realized there were at least six boys alone.

If you added the girls who didn’t come, the children from Pei Yuhuai’s uncles’ side, and some miscellaneous illegitimate children, the number would easily reach twenty or thirty.

Only two girls came today; the other two were abroad and couldn’t make it back in time.

During the evening engagement party, it was the Pei family members who were truly busy.

As the “new bride,” Lin Mian wasn’t very busy.

He just had to dress up, put on his engagement attire, and wait to go out with Pei Yuhuai to meet people.

When it was time for him to go downstairs, Cai Cai came to fetch him.

Cai Cai took his hand and led him downstairs to Mr. Pei.

After that, Lin Mian didn’t need to do much. He just had to smile and follow Mr. Pei, greeting people along the way. With Mr. Pei guiding him, the whole process wasn’t too tiring.

After meeting everyone, Lin Mian had nothing else to do.

He ate a little and then went to the backyard garden to join the group of Pei family children.

Watching them sing and drink, he suddenly felt that this kind of life was quite simple and happy.

That night, they didn’t stay at the old mansion.

After the engagement party ended around 11:30 PM, he and Mr. Pei went to Mr. Pei’s residence.

Pei Yuhuai had had a bit to drink. He didn’t like the smell of alcohol, so he went to take a shower as soon as they got back.

Seeing this, Lin Mian felt a bit nervous. He thought that even though Mr. Pei had said they wouldn’t sleep together, they would inevitably have to get close on their engagement night.

With this in mind, Lin Mian went to the walk-in closet to change out of his formal attire.

He wanted to put on something simple and comfortable, preferably something a bit… sexy.

Ever since finding out that President Pei had a young boyfriend, Xiao Su had added quite a few things here.

Most of them were Lin Mian’s clothes. Some were bought by Lin Mian himself, but the majority were chosen by Xiao Su.

Xiao Su was thoughtful and clever.

She thought that since President Pei and Mr. Lin were lovers, they should be intimate and close.

So she prepared many exquisite outfits, some of which combined sexy, cute, elegant, and mysterious styles.

Lin Mian’s clothes naturally took up half of Pei Yuhuai’s walk-in closet.

Pei Yuhuai didn’t usually check the closet and hadn’t paid much attention to Lin Mian’s clothes.

So when he came out of the bathroom, he was greeted by the sight of his young lover in a particularly provocative nightgown.

Lin Mian’s appearance was delicate and beautiful.

He rarely wore such revealing clothes; his usual loungewear was more on the cute side.

Now, suddenly wearing a black silk nightgown, it was actually quite sexy upon closer inspection.

Pei Yuhuai coughed and asked, “Are you going to take a shower?”

Lin Mian nodded. Seeing that Mr. Pei didn’t seem very “interested” in his outfit, he grabbed an even more provocative one before going in.

Lin Mian lingered in the bathroom for a long time. Pei Yuhuai, worried that he hadn’t come out yet, decided to check on him.

He remembered that Lin Mian had been clumsy before, even struggling with the bathroom at home, so he got up to ask what was going on.

Hearing Mr. Pei’s voice, Lin Mian froze while putting on his clothes, his face turning red as he stammered, “I-I’m almost done.”

His voice trembled, sounding a bit flustered.

Pei Yuhuai frowned, knocked on the door, and said, “What are you doing? Can I come in?”

“N-no.”

“I-I’m not doing anything. I’m just taking a while to get dressed.”

Pei Yuhuai: “Do you really not need my help?”

Lin Mian wanted to say no, but in his haste, he accidentally pinched himself.

He gasped in pain and then said pitifully to Mr. Pei, “T-then you’d better come in.”

He didn’t know how to wear this kind of clothing. Why was it so complicated?

Pei Yuhuai said, “I’m coming in,” and then pushed the door open and walked in.

But halfway in, he turned around and went back out.

Seeing Mr. Pei suddenly leave, Lin Mian couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.

Did he look bad in this outfit?

Is that why Mr. Pei suddenly left?

As Lin Mian was thinking this, Pei Yuhuai came back with a large towel and entered the bathroom again.

He didn’t look at Lin Mian but wrapped him up from head to toe and carried him out of the bathroom.

Seeing Mr. Pei remain silent, Lin Mian’s suspicions grew stronger.

He carefully tugged at Mr. Pei’s clothes, “Mr. Pei, do you hate me now?”

Pei Yuhuai, while gently placing him on the bed, asked softly, “Why would I hate you?”

“T-then why didn’t you look at me?”

Pei Yuhuai’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and after a while, he said somewhat awkwardly, “Because you look too sexy, too beautiful. I didn’t dare look too much.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Hearing Mr. Pei’s repeated affirmation, Lin Mian’s mood improved.

He had thought that Mr. Pei didn’t like him taking the initiative.

After that, Pei Yuhuai dried Lin Mian’s hair. Halfway through, Lin Mian felt so comfortable that he insisted on helping Pei Yuhuai too.

“Mr. Pei, lie down. I can give you a massage.”

Pei Yuhuai, being pulled down by him, asked helplessly, “Do you know how?”

Lin Mian replied seriously, “I don’t, but I can learn. I learn quickly. You should believe in my abilities.”

“Alright, I believe you.”

As Pei Yuhuai lay down, Lin Mian climbed onto the bed and knelt beside him, starting to massage his head.

Lin Mian was careful not to press too hard, afraid of hurting Mr. Pei.

But seeing that Mr. Pei didn’t react and just looked at him indulgently, he gradually grew bolder.

Lin Mian massaged and asked, “Mr. Pei, does it feel good?”

Pei Yuhuai nodded.

“Should I massage your shoulders too?”

Pei Yuhuai didn’t refuse.

Lin Mian boldly reached for Mr. Pei’s shoulders.

Then his gaze fell on Mr. Pei’s much broader shoulders and drifted to his very sexy Adam’s apple.

Lin Mian’s massage technique was rough, but since Pei Yuhuai liked him, it still felt good.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a small hand began to sneakily touch his neck, tentatively exploring his Adam’s apple.

Pei Yuhuai wanted to open his eyes and grab the mischievous hand.

But thinking of Lin Mian’s always pitiful eyes, he wanted to see what this little rabbit would dare to do if he didn’t say anything.

So Pei Yuhuai pretended to be asleep and didn’t stop Lin Mian’s little actions.

Seeing no reaction, Lin Mian whispered to him, “Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei, can I take off your shirt? That way I can massage other places.”

Was Lin Mian saying this for Pei Yuhuai’s benefit, or was he just making excuses for his next actions?

Pei Yuhuai wanted to laugh but held it in.

Then he felt Lin Mian really start to boldly take off his shirt.

This kid really had… some audacity!
