Seeing that Chen Jia was about to make a move, Pei Mingchen did not hesitate at all. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Jia’s neck.

“Stay away from her.”

Pei Mingchen’s voice was gloomy and carried traces of anger. His eyes were like the first snowflakes of spring, icy cold.

To dare to bully someone Pei Mingchen cared about so much in front of so many people was no different from courting death.

At this moment, Pei Mingchen had a chance to take revenge, so he did not hold back at all. He tightened his grip on Chen Jia as if he wanted to strangle Chen Jia to death.

Seeing that Chen Jia could not break free no matter how hard he tried and could barely breathe, Mu Qiannian’s unhurried voice come through.

“Enough, it’s not worth it for him..”

Forget it, since Niannian had already said so, it would be the same if he attacked later.

Pei Mingchen glanced at Mu Qiannian and instantly loosened his grip on Chen Jia. However, Pei Mingchen’s body remained firmly in front of her.

“I’ll listen to you.”

When Pei Mingchen released his grip, Chen Jia immediately collapsed onto the ground. Chen Jia could not even speak. His face was flushed red and he kept coughing. However, he did not dare to do anything to Mu Qiannian. He only glared at her a few times.

“Stop staring. Be careful that he’ll attack again.”

The corners of Mu Qiannian’s lips curled up as she said leisurely.

“Since everyone is here today, I’ll make things clear.”

“Chen Jia, I’m withdrawing from this marriage.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Remember to keep yourself clean in the future. If you get dirty, no one will want you.”

Pei Mingchen was slightly taken aback as he looked over silently.

Other than liking Niannian, Pei Mingchen had not even looked at any other woman. He was very clean.

He should be very compatible with her standards for choosing a spouse, right?

More importantly, how was Pei Mingchen going to prove this before she would believe it?

“What’s wrong?”

Sensing Pei Mingchen’s gaze, Mu Qiannian raised her head and asked.

The man in front of her shook his head obediently. He did not look as violent as before.

“Is everything alright now?”

“My house is very clean.”

“Do you want to go and have a seat?”

Pei Mingchen thought of something and added softly.

“I’m also very clean.”

This reason for snatching the marriage was really refreshing and refined.

Mu Qiannian narrowed her eyes. She was suddenly curious about what his house looked like now.

“Sure.”

Mu Qiannian nodded happily and reached out to hold Pei Mingchen’s well-defined fingers. His pale skin was instantly dyed a warm red.

Pei Mingchen immediately held Mu Qiannian’s hand and his slender legs could not wait to move forward. He restrained himself and revealed a trace of a happy smile.

“The car is parked at the entrance. Let’s go back now.”

“Damn, an adopted daughter and an illegitimate child.”

“They’re a perfect match!”

At this moment, Chen Jia’s voice filled with hatred was suddenly heard.

Pei Mingchen had already spared Chen Jia once, yet he still dared to criticize Niannian.

He was simply courting death!

Pei Mingchen’s aura instantly turned cold. He slowly turned his head and looked at Chen Jia.

Pei Mingchen’s eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent as if he was standing there like a wild beast whose soft spot had been poked. All the hair on his body had stood up, revealing his sharp claws.

However, in the next second, Pei Mingchen’s expression instantly changed, and he looked gently to his side.

“Don’t be angry, you’re hurting my hand.”

“You’re not even angry even though he’s scolding you? Are you stupid?”

Mu Qiannian knocked Pei Mingchen’s head in a bad mood and she looked at Chen Jia with a cold smile.

“You’re really starting a dyeing mill just because you have a little color.”

“What did illegitimate children do to you?”

“Wasn’t it all because Old Master Chen couldn’t control his lower body and insist on going out to find a woman?”

“When you’re making a baby, you don’t ask if the person is willing, but you feel embarrassed after making a baby?”

“Bah! As expected, if the upper beam is not upright then the lower beam would be crooked. Each of your brains is becoming more and more defective!”

“If you want to scold someone, then scold Old Master Chen’s lower body. Otherwise, in two days, you’ll get another illegitimate child!”

“…”

Mu Qiannian’s words were extremely sarcastic, causing Old Master Chen’s face to turn gloomy. He looked at Pei Mingchen with an aggrieved expression.

The meaning behind his expression was very obvious. It was as if Old Master Chen was saying, “What kind of words were those? Hurry up and control her!”

However, Pei Mingchen merely smiled at Old Master Chen and averted his gaze.

How could he control her?

Niannian was standing up for him. Pei Mingchen wished that he could move a chair and sit by the side to watch slowly. Then, he would jot down these protective words one by one so that he could reminisce them again and again in the future.

Looking at Mu Qiannian’s blushing face and the way she kept talking, Pei Mingchen felt that she looked like an angry little snow leopard, threatening others. She did not know that she was too cute and did not look threatening at all.

“If you keep talking, you’ll get thirsty.”

Seeing that Mu Qiannian’s voice had stopped, Pei Mingchen immediately pulled her back gently.

“Let’s go home and rest. We’ll fight another day.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qiannian could not be bothered with these idiots anymore. She turned around and left, not forgetting to take out the remote control from her pocket.

“Oh right, Chen Jia, you’d better marry Mu Wanwan as soon as possible.”

“Otherwise, you’ll have an illegitimate child.”

With a beep, the photo on the projection disappeared immediately. In its place was a lively video. Moaning sounds filled the entire space in an instant.

Chen Jia looked over with a dark expression. The main character on the screen was Mu Wanwan!

“Turn it off! Turn it off quickly!”

Chen Jia roared angrily, but the others were incomparably quiet. Their eyes were lowered and their faces were extremely awkward. They were so embarrassed that they almost left the room.

What was going on?

If they had known this would happen, they would not have come.

In the silence, Mu Qiannian and Pei Mingchen had already walked out of the engagement party hand in hand.

After such a big incident, the corridor was filled with service staff running around. The bartender who was about to serve the drinks had no choice but to rush toward Mu Qiannian.

Mu Qiannian turned her body to the side and was about to dodge when Pei Mingchen suddenly reached out and pulled her back into his embrace.

“There are too many people. Be careful.”

Hearing the man’s voice, Mu Qiannian raised her head and looked at his serious face. She could not help but smile.

“I can dodge if I go that way.”

“But won’t you be away from my side if you do that?”

Pei Mingchen lowered his gaze and looked at Mu Qiannian’s hair that was scattered on his chest.

“It’s safer here.”

As Pei Mingchen spoke, he hugged the person in his arms even tighter. His footsteps were very slow as he slowly led Mu Qiannian through the crowd and walked out of the door.

As soon as she steadied himself, Mu Qiannian broke free from his embrace.

A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Pei Mingchen’s impression of this building had turned bad.

He had only walked a few steps when he arrived at the main door. The corridor was too short and illogical.

If he were to get engaged in the future, he would definitely not set up the engagement party here.

As Pei Mingchen was grumbling in his heart, Mu Qiannian’s voice sounded.

“Thank you for pretending to be my boyfriend just now. I — Oh!”

Before Mu Qiannian could finish her sentence, her wrist was grabbed by the man and she was almost pulled into his embrace.

Pei Mingchen raised his head. His eyes were filled with restraint, but his boiling hot emotions were still revealed in the corners of his red eyes. His voice was hoarse.

“There’s no need to pretend.”

“It’s my honor to be your boyfriend.”

“…”
