Chapter 658: Chapter 346: To Be Fair Chapter 658: Chapter 346: To Be Fair “Shouldn’t we call it quits soon?”
Xu Qingyan found the situation both laughable and cryable, but he was the least qualified to voice his opinions here.
He could never have imagined things would turn out this way.
“What’s wrong?
Feeling sorry?
Or can’t handle it anymore?”
“No, I just think Chanchan, you should rest.
It’s getting late.” Xu Qingyan cautiously said.
Despite running around all night, he was still in good shape.
...
On one hand, his physical stamina was truly impressive, and on the other, working desperately had toughened his flesh and bones.
He hadn’t felt tired at all after using restorative herbs to fill the voids.
He knew that Pei Muchan was feeling stubborn now, refusing to stop working.
But the body doesn’t lie, and Xu Qingyan could feel that Pei Muchan was starting to struggle to keep up.
Thinking of Lin Wanzhou outside, Xu Qingyan let out a slight sigh.
He couldn’t afford to make any wrong moves right now, as it would anger Pei Muchan.
Alright, alright, you want to go out and see her soon, right?
Knowing that you two had a close relationship since childhood, I shouldn’t have co.
Xu Qingyan was like Zhang Fei performing delicate embroidery, treading a fine line between two empresses.
He had to be extra careful not to favor or antagonize either side.
Sailing with the wind, acting according to the expressions on their faces, trying to survive between a rock and a hard place.
Fortunately, Pei Muchan talked tough but folded quickly.
Her challenging words had barely cooled before she herself could no longer hold up and fell to the ground.
Xu Qingyan sighed inwardly, gently hugged her, and kissed her on the cheek.
Only after Pei Muchan had completely cald down did he gingerly carry her into the bathroom to clean her up.
It was a good thing the master bedroom had a private bathroom, and Lin Wanzhou’s guest room also had one.
When he bought the house, he hadn’t thought that much about it, but it naturally ca with it.
At the ti, he had no other thoughts, just felt it would co in handy.
And sure enough…
it did.
How should I put this?
Although he had never expected such a day, the money was indeed well spent.
Pei Muchan was now exhausted, completely at his rcy.
After helping her with her toiletries and blow-drying her hair, he tucked her into bed.
After doing all this, Xu Qingyan changed into a fresh set of clothes and left the room, just in ti to see Lin Wanzhou in the living room.
She was gazing at Xu Qingyan, with the light on her head casting a softened glow.
Xu Qingyan was also finding it hard to keep composed.
In his plan, all three of them should be sitting together, taking on everything by himself and controlling the situation to a certain extent.
Perhaps Pei Muchan would leave for Xinghai or her hotown.
Lin Wanzhou was expected to return to the Capital, but neither was supposed to do anything rash.
Then he would slowly chase his wife.
He hadn’t had the ans before, but now he was confident he could track both sides, and with so tricks up his sleeve, he would gradually win her back.
Looking at how things had turned out, it had all gone off track.
“That…”
Xu Qingyan didn’t even know what to say.
What was he doing just now?
Faced with Lin Wanzhou’s gaze, he suddenly felt so regret for having started things so rashly.
Plans can never keep up with changes, as he always thought he knew the two won well enough.
Yet when it ca down to actual practice, Pei Muchan’s intense reaction went beyond his expectations.
Lin Wanzhou went back to her room without a word, and Xu Qingyan followed, only to be t with a closed door.
He touched his nose, feeling sowhat guilty.
In his mory, Lin Wanzhou had never lost her temper with him.
This was the first ti.
And what an occasion it was — straight into a chaotic scene.
He definitely deserved to die for this, but Xu Qingyan decided to postpone dying to a later ti.
They were currently under lockdown, and there was nothing in the house.
There were no food ingredients, no shopping done, even the fridge was bare, so he needed to find out how long the lockdown would last.
He heard that so places had been locked down for nearly half a month, but the situation was difficult to predict.
There were cases in Dongzhou too, but back then, Xu Qingyan was busy…
Also considering the company was still running, he thought any news would reach him one way or another.
The absence of news suggested that it wasn’t too severe yet.
But awkwardly, he was locked in himself.
Luckily at the company, there was Zhou Mian.
Thinking of this, he gave Zhou Mian a call.
“Hello?”
“Brother Xu, what’s happening on your side?” Zhou Mian’s voice was slightly panicked, “I saw on the news that your complex has been marked as…”
“Yes, as soon as I returned to the complex…” Xu Qingyan briefly explained the situation, “How are things at the company?
Prepare everyone for it.”
“If necessary, prepare for everyone to stay at the filming location or in the company.
Also, stock up on essential supplies.”
“What’s going on, Brother Xu?” asked Zhou Mian.
“I don’t know, but the higher-ups cautioned not to make any big moves recently.” Xu Qingyan said over the phone, “It’s hard to say right now, so let’s just put a pause on anything that can be put on pause.”
“Make sure any compensation is properly given.
The company isn’t short of money, so don’t skimp.”
Zhou Mian acknowledged on the other side, not minding the late hour, “I understand.
I’ll arrange it right away.
The extra pay will definitely be added.
Our company tends to be…
quite demanding.”
“Work more, earn more.
This approach still works in the early stages of the company.” Xu Qingyan added, “There are no upward channels in the company yet.
It’s about working hard and getting rewarded.
Let’s talk about the future later.
For now, we get through this period.
I’ll go collect so information.
You can also call anyti; let’s keep the communication open.”
“Got it, Brother Xu.” Zhou Mian thought for a second, then had a sudden inspiration, “Brother Xu, if you need anything on your side, let see if I can pull so strings…”
