On How To Defeat Dr. Qing Leng Chapter 70
byChapter 70 Chapter 70 Betrothal Gifts and Dowry
Wen Yelan has been very busy since Monday. He has been busy all day long. He has been away from the institute for a while. The backlog of work needs to be dealt with, and the new project application has also reached a critical stage.It was often eight or nine o’clock when I got home at night, and I was so tired that I couldn’t even move my fingers. Pei Yan was so distressed that he couldn’t bear to make trouble to him for the past two days.
Things in the company came to an end, and he started planning the wedding wholeheartedly.
Pei Yan went through almost all the plans provided by the wedding planning company, and even asked his assistant to collect countless niche and unique wedding cases at home and abroad.The starry sky on the grassland, the sunset on the island, the feast in the ancient castle, the polar aurora… After seeing too much, I feel that they are all the same and almost boring.What he wanted to give to Wen Yelan was someone unprecedented and unprecedented, someone who fit the two of them perfectly, and no template could be applied.
Pei Yan really felt that he couldn’t think of anything.
On Friday afternoon, Pei Yan finished work early and drove to the institute to pick up Wen Yelan.
He sent the message, and Wen Yelan replied [Okay, wait downstairs.】
The car stopped not far from the entrance of the institute. Pei Yan leaned against the car door and looked at the familiar building.The setting sun coated the gray-white walls with a layer of warm gold, and people came out one after another.Soon, he saw the thin figure.
Wen Yelan was wearing a light brown thin windbreaker. He walked slowly and slowly, and the wind blew the hair on his forehead.Wen Yelan also saw him and raised a light smile at him.Pei Yan was infected by his smile and smiled and waved.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?” Wen Yelan walked up to him and handed him the bag.
“Just arrived.” Pei Yan opened the car door, “Get in the car and take you somewhere.”
“Where?”
“Eat. Call Lin Mo and the others.” Pei Yan turned sideways to help him fasten his seat belt and stole a kiss on his lips. “We discussed something.”
Wen Yelan let him kiss her and raised her eyebrows when he heard this: “What are we discussing?”
Pei Yan sat back in the driver’s seat and started the car, “Our marriage.”
Wen Yelan was startled for a moment, then understood.A smile flashed in his eyes: “Haven’t you decided yet?”
“I don’t think so.” Pei Yan turned the steering wheel with some annoyance. “Everything seems vulgar or inappropriate. Just call those people out and brainstorm. They have a lot of ideas. Let’s expand our thinking.”
Wen Yelan said “hmm” and didn’t ask any more questions, turning his eyes to the flowing street scene outside the window.He actually didn’t have any specific ideas in mind, and he had no obsession with the wedding itself.As long as the target is Pei Yan, everything else doesn’t seem to matter.
The place to eat was set at a very private Jiangnan restaurant, a private room reserved by Pei Yan for a long time.
When Wen Yelan arrived, Lin Mo and Xiao Yu were already there, watching some video on their mobile phones together, laughing so hard.Li Yu hasn’t arrived yet.
“Hey, Dr. Wen is here!” Lin Mo had sharp eyes and was the first to look up, grinning, “Where’s Brother Pei? Didn’t I say we’d pick you up together?”
“He answered the phone downstairs and asked me to come up first.” Wen Yelan sat down at the reserved main seat and took the hot towel handed by the waiter to wipe his hands. “Is there anyone here yet?”
“That guy Li Yu is probably stuck in traffic again.” Xiao Yu put away the phone, looked at Wen Yelan, and said with a smile, “You look good, Dr. Wen. After staying in the grassland for a few months, I feel that everyone is cheerful.”
Wen Yelan pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer.
Just as he was talking, the box door was pushed open, and Pei Yan and Li Yu walked in front and back.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, a car broke down on the elevated highway and we were stuck in traffic for twenty minutes.” Li Yu apologized while taking off his coat, “Brother Pei, you formed a sudden situation today. What a happy event?”
Pei Yan walked up to Wen Yelan first, reached out and pinched the back of his neck naturally, and then sat down at the main seat: “Sit down and talk later.”
Lin Mo and Xiao Yu exchanged glances, with expressions of optimism on their faces.
The food is served very quickly, which is the signature of this restaurant.After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became lively.
Pei Yan then cleared his throat and put down his chopsticks, “I called you here today because of something.”
Three pairs of eyes looked over.
Pei Yan turned his head and glanced at Wen Yelan. Wen Yelan was sipping soup. Feeling his gaze, he raised his eyes and looked back, and nodded lightly.
“Ye Lan and I,” Pei Yan turned around and smiled, “we are getting married.”
“Pfft – cough cough cough!” Lin Mo almost spit out the wine and choked, his face turned red.
The chopsticks in Xiao Yu’s hand fell on the table with a clatter.
Li Yu widened his eyes, looked at Pei Yan, then looked at Wen Yelan, opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to make a sound: “…What is this? Marriage? You two? Are you real or fake?”
“Really.” Pei Yan raised the corners of his mouth and reached out to hold Wen Yelan’s hand. “I can’t get the certificate for the time being, but the wedding must be held.”
The box was quiet for a few seconds.
Xiao Yu was the first to come to his senses, picked up the chopsticks, and said in a tone of disbelief: “No… this is too sudden. You two have not known each other for a year, right? Are you… going to get married now?”
“I’ve gone through everything I should have gone through this year, and I don’t want to delay it any longer.” Pei Yan scratched his fingers in Wen Yelan’s hand, “Besides, it’s not sudden. I proposed on the grassland.”
“Oh my God!” Lin Mo slammed the table, “Brother Pei, you can do it! Do big things quietly! Dr. Wen, did you agree to him?”
Wen Yelan was stared at by several scorching eyes, and his face felt a little hot, but he nodded calmly: “Yes.”
“Awesome!” Li Yu gave a thumbs up, then thought of something, and his expression became more serious, “But Brother Pei, in this situation, you two… have a public wedding? Dr. Wen’s workplace, is this possible? Will it not cause trouble?”
This is a real issue.The relationship between Pei Yan and Wen Yelan is not a secret in their small circle, but it is completely different to put it on the table and face the eyes of the social circle and the system.
The smile on Pei Yan’s face faded, but his eyes were firm: “There will definitely be trouble. But we are in a normal relationship and getting married, so there is no need to hide it. Yelan’s work is of a special nature, so we will be measured and will not make it known to everyone. But there will be no shortage of ceremonies and friends that should be invited.” He paused and looked at Wen Yelan, “I don’t want to wrong him.”
Wen Yelan felt warm in her heart and shook his hand back.
“That’s good, just be prepared.” Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed again, “But to be honest, it still feels like a dream. Brother Pei, you are really going to settle down.”
Lin Mo rolled his eyes and leaned forward with a wicked smile: “Hey, what… have you discussed the gift and dowry? Brother Pei, you are so rich, why don’t you prepare a sky-high price gift for Dr. Wen? Dr. Wen, you can’t marry in vain, you have to have it!”
Pei Yan sneered, “What nonsense are you making?” He turned to look at Wen Yelan, his eyes softened and a little cunning, “The dowry I prepared has been handed over.”
“Ah? You gave me a dowry? What is it?” Lin Mo was curious.
Wen Yelan was stunned for a moment and realized that Pei Yan was talking about that house.I just didn’t expect that Pei Yan would take his joke seriously, and I was a little proud in my heart. A serf who couldn’t turn over in bed sang a song, so in reality it was not bad to take advantage of him.
You decide on this ‘husband’ yourself!
Pei Yan didn’t say anything specific, but just looked at Wen Yelan with a smile: “Anyway, I can give him all my wealth, as long as he is willing to ask for it. Forget about the betrothal gift. As long as he is willing to take me in.”
Wen Yelan coughed lightly and lowered his eyelashes, “…the bride price is being prepared.”
As soon as these words came out, even Pei Yan was stunned.
“What?” Pei Yan thought he heard wrongly.
Wen Yelan raised her head, met his surprised gaze, and raised the corners of her mouth: “I said, I’m preparing the bride price.”
Pei Yan’s heartbeat suddenly stopped, then started beating faster.He stared at Wen Yelan, trying to read more information from his face, but Wen Yelan had already turned away and continued to drink the soup with his head down, leaving him with a proud profile.
“Oh!” Li Yu whistled, “What comes and goes comes back! Brother Pei, it seems that you are getting married well!”
Lin Mo and Xiao Yu also laughed.
Pei Yan was still immersed in the impact of those words just now, and quietly poked Wen Yelan under the table.Wen Yelan’s fingertips lightly tapped on his palm, as if to comfort him.
Pei Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to focus back on the meal.
“Let’s get down to business.” He knocked on the table, “I have no idea what to do with the wedding. You have many ideas, I’ll listen to them.”
Xiao Yu touched his chin: “What do you want to do? Chinese style? Western style? Or something special?”
“Don’t be cliché.” Pei Yan didn’t even think about it. “Those cookie-cutter processes and arrangements are boring. I want something unique and suitable for Ye Lan and I.”
Lin Mo scratched his head: “Isn’t it difficult to be human… You two are a glaciologist and a capitalist. This combination itself is unique enough. You can’t hold the wedding on a glacier, right?”
Wen Yelan was amused by this statement and chuckled.
“What about the time?” Li Yu asked, “When do you plan to do it? There must be an approximate time so that we can help you think about it.”
Pei Yan glanced at Wen Yelan and said, “As soon as possible. Best… before my birthday.”
“Your birthday? Isn’t there only more than two months left?” Xiao Yu calculated the time, “May… an outdoor wedding is probably OK.”
“Why does it have to be before my birthday?” Lin Mo was curious.
Pei Yan clicked his tongue and looked at Wen Yelan with raised eyebrows, “…otherwise I’m afraid Dr. Wen might think I’m old.”
Wen Yelan was stunned when she met his teasing gaze. Just as she was about to refute, she suddenly realized what he was talking about.It was obviously a good intention to comfort him last time!Why don’t you open which pot and pick up which pot?
He pursed his lips, lightly kicked Pei Yan’s calf under the table, and added several pieces of meat to him viciously, “You need to replenish it when you are old.”
Pei Yan was amused by his appearance, lowered his head and ate the meat obediently.
Lin Mo screamed from the side: “Oh, this is dog food! You don’t even need to eat. I asked you two, can you stop showing off your affection so unobtrusively? Single dogs have to live.”
Xiao Yu smiled and shook her head. She suddenly thought of something and said, “However, Pei Yan, I may not be doing well recently. The few of us,” she pointed at herself and Lin Mo, “will set off early next week to go to the Alps and take the classic route. It is expected to take three weeks. Don’t be in a hurry, we may not be able to catch up.”
Pei Yan was stunned for a moment: “Alps? Why didn’t I hear you mention it?” During this period of time, he was focused on Wen Yelan and the company, and he really didn’t pay much attention to their developments.
Lin Mo scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: “Well… ever since you brought the beauty home, it’s as if your soul has been taken away by someone. How can you think of going wild with us? Then you… had that trouble again, and you are even less in the mood. We thought that we won’t call you this time on the mountain. You have just reconciled and are inseparable. Don’t disturb the world of the two of you.”
After hearing this, Pei Yan felt no loss in his heart, only the joy brought by the memories.He met Wen Yelan on Mount Everest, a place where there was wind and snow and where life and death were on the line.That cold and distant figure suddenly crashed into his life that was originally filled with only conquest and excitement.
“It’s just right,” Pei Yan grinned, stretched out his arms to hug Wen Yelan, and kissed him on the face. “I have something more addictive than mountain climbing right now.” He said, looking sideways at Wen Yelan with hot eyes.
