I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 392 Where is the future?

Ningyuan City, Jinyou’s home.

After Li Qiyuan hung up the phone, he sat quietly for a while and then walked up to the attic with deep thoughts.

Although the new home has been basically renovated, considering the residual formaldehyde, the couple did not move in and continued to live in the old house.

"Da da~"

Yu Huizhi, who was painting, turned around subconsciously when she heard the footsteps and said with a smile: "Hubby, come and see if my painting looks like it?"

There are two drawing boards in front of Yu Huizhi. The one closest to her is the one she is painting, and the one farther away is the watercolor painting Li Peifeng created when she went home during the Chinese New Year.

The starry sky in the dark night is magical and magnificent, and the dazzling colors are immersive.

Under the starry sky is the port of Dakhla. The lighthouse is dim, giant ships, lonely boats, and fishing lanterns are vaguely visible. The sea of ​​​​the underworld is surging, and the turbulent waves are beating against the rocks of Gaoyue Mountain. The waves are splashing almost over the top of the mountain. They have not stopped for thousands of years and are still rolling and powerful.

Lonely, cold, and slightly intimidatingly mysterious.

If you only look at the upper part of the painting, the viewer can only sigh with sadness, as the saying goes; only the infiniteness of heaven and earth is so sad for the long diligence of life, or, sending a mayfly in the sky and earth, a drop in the vast sea.

Looking at the center of the painting, located on the top of Gaoyue Mountain, four women and one man are sitting or hugging each other, cuddling together in different postures, looking at the sky. Their silhouettes are so small that the viewer cannot clearly see their appearance, but they can clearly feel the smiles of the five people, the attachment and attachment to each other, and the fearless spirit of the five people.

This makes this painting full of romanticism and optimism that "the Creator has endless treasures, and I and my son are compatible" although the theme of this painting is the unforgiving natural landscape such as the starry sky and the sea.

"Why are you imitating it again?"

Li Qiyuan frowned slightly, and Yu Huizhi was a little embarrassed, and said: "Fengfeng is really good at painting, especially the colors. I have been adjusting the colors and I always feel that the colors are not as natural and harmonious as his paintings. I have said it before He is talented in painting. If we had let him study art, Fengfeng might have become a world-renowned and shocking painter by now!"

"Okay, let me tell you something more shocking. My son called me just now..."

Li Qiyuan told the truth about the phone call he just had with Li Peifeng, but deleted some irrelevant things, such as the number five million.

"Do you really want to go?"

Yu Huizhi also frowned after hearing this: "Then what should you say when you meet Qingge's parents?"

Li Qiyuan had a serious expression and did not speak.

Although because of the astonishing figure of five million... although because of the deep love and blood ties between father and son, Lao Li agreed to go to the capital to meet Zhao Qingge's parents, but what should I say after meeting, such a short time? He really hadn't thought about it for a while.

But the only thing that is certain is that Li Qiyuan does not intend to do what his son wants, and goes all the way to act out a show with Li Peifeng that will be exposed sooner or later.

In the final analysis, Lao Li still wants to fulfill his father's duties and let Li Peifeng go on the right path instead of heading more and more towards self-destruction.

"What have you decided to say?" Yu Huizhi asked immediately after seeing her husband's expression change from gloomy to clear in a short period of time.

"This is actually not a question of how I want to say it, but a question of how my son wants to choose."

Li Qiyuan sighed softly: "When I arrive, let him make his own decision."

…

"You only have these two choices."

At this moment, Li Peifeng was driven back to the downstairs of Jintian City by Zhao Qingge. On the way, Li Peifeng tentatively asked Lao Zhao what his attitude was towards the marriage plan he had proposed before, and the other party gave a Not the answer he wanted, but expected.

"Either just marry me or not marry me."

Zhao Qingge raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the top floor through the car window, and pursed his lips slightly: "You can continue to look for them after the marriage, I don't care, but you can't get the certificate with them again."

Li Peifeng was speechless, thinking about things, and simply had a heart-to-heart relationship with Zhao Qingge, which made communication more straightforward and convenient.

His core point is still one, he must receive the red book with the other three. This is what he promised before. If it cannot be realized, not only will he feel sorry for them, but Li Peifeng will feel guilty, and the relationship will not last long.

In order to make Zhao Qingge agree to this, he made concessions again. Even though he proposed to Lao Zhao the plan of not divorcing Zhao Qingge and then getting the certificate with the three of them, the other party still disagreed.

[That has already constituted a crime. If I find out, I will prosecute you as soon as possible. 】

[Prosecute, I checked, the maximum sentence is not more than two years in prison, I admit it! 】

Zhao Qingge's mind went blank. He looked at Li Peifeng, his lips trembling with anger and his face turning red.

Li Peifeng ignored her and reached out to pull her over, opening her mouth to kiss her.

"Do not touch me!"

Zhao Qingge resisted fiercely, punching and kicking him, causing the car to rattle.

It’s stressful, it’s stressful!

Li Peifeng had a mouthful of hair, and Zhao Qingge held his head against him, unable to eat, so he had to let go in anger.

"You are so brave!!"

Zhao Qingge's anger was still lingering. He clenched his small fist and hit Li Peifeng hard on the chest twice. Seeing that he had a grimace on his face and did not resist, he glared at Li Peifeng again. After about four or five seconds, he turned his head away from him and said, I didn't bother to say anything, so I communicated directly in my heart.

[I only ask you two questions. If you can answer them, I will listen to you. 】

【explain! 】

Li Peifeng's face was shocked and he was ready.

[First, if I agree, have you ever thought about what to do if my parents or their parents find out about this? 】

Li Peifeng fell into thinking.

[Second, how long do you think you can hide what you have done from them? Not to mention being bumped into by acquaintances on the road after marriage, not to mention any clues you revealed, or the three of them getting angry and showing off to their parents one day. Just talking about the weddings in the near future, there are four weddings for four people. Do you think that none of the guests in these four weddings overlap? 】

Li Peifeng's soul left his body and wandered around the world.

[Even if there is no overlap, can you guarantee that every time you hold a wedding, no one will take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments? Can you guarantee that these four weddings will be kept completely secret and will not be exposed on social media and make the news? 】

Li Peifeng couldn't guarantee 100%, and even felt that if any one of the four parents knew about it, the other three parties would also know about it, so he felt guilty, and Zhao Qingge also felt Li Peifeng's emotions...

[So this cannot be hidden at all. It won’t take long before either my parents find out, their parents find out, or our friends know about it. How can you solve this problem? Or are you and I not thinking about the long term? 】

【I have considered it! 】

Of course Li Peifeng considered it. He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't solve it, so he kept avoiding the problem.

If there are really eighty-one difficulties in the road to the harem, then this level is the most difficult one. He is completely powerless and even feels a little desperate.

Although Li Peifeng had a way to compensate the girl's family by improving her social status, he would not be able to earn that much money in a short period of time, not to mention that no matter how much money he spent, he would not necessarily be able to satisfy the elders. The anger and complaints dissipated.

Although money is good and helps people survive, other aspects are also very important, such as face, dignity, and external evaluation.

What? When you married my daughter, you also obtained the certificate with another woman? One, two, three...four? ! And all my relatives and friends know about it? !

This may cost lives. Although the parents of the four girls are in good health, they have reached their age and cannot accept the suddenness. It is possible that one or two of them will be hospitalized due to anger.

Especially the couple Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin, given their status, they will never be swayed by pure money. They value face more. When the time comes, they may be angry and take Li Peifeng's life. And Mr. Li really couldn't think of what to do so that he wouldn't be held accountable by them after his affair was revealed.

More importantly, they may not only pursue Li Peifeng, but after knowing the entire incident, they may also vent their anger and resentment on their own daughter.

Disobedient and unfilial, disgraceful and dishonorable, dishonorable and shameless!

Faced with the gossip from the outside world and the strange looks from the people around them, coupled with the sad and angry accusations from their biological parents... even the thickest-skinned Wu Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan might not be able to bear it.

Having said that, how do harem novels generally solve this problem?

Shit, it seems like they were all skipped directly. Is there no script for me to use as a reference?

Li Peifeng started to think wildly...

"You are no longer living in a dream, please be clear-headed."

Zhao Qingge spoke in a soft tone: "I can understand you, and I also feel your embarrassment. Likewise, you should also understand my and their difficulties. If they don't say it, they may choose to escape like you, but I won't."

"I knew clearly from the beginning that your plan would not work at all, because people live in details depicted by relationships. Details are stories, and interactions between people build the epitome of the story. How could we not care at all? What about the opinions of people around me? Especially the opinions of my parents, close friends, and society."

"..."

Li Peifeng chose to open the car window and breathe in the cold air outside the window.

Zhao Qingge turned his head and looked forward and said softly: "In short, reality cannot be changed. As long as you live within the secular rules, you must make choices. Before, you chose to delay and turn a blind eye, but the problem still exists, and you still need to Face it. This was never something I or others forced you to face, but a difficult question that you must answer... I am not educating you now."

There was silence in the car for a long time. Li Peifeng tilted his head slightly, looked at the familiar Mercedes-Benz S-Class downstairs through the car window, frowned slightly, then looked at the Audi A7 next to him, withdrew his gaze, and looked up at the lights on the roof. , I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

After Zhao Qingge fell silent, he once again felt a desire to be subtle but unable to hide his feelings.

【……】

Li Peifeng first held Zhao Qingge's hand, then turned his head, and tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth to show a brief smile: "I also need you very much, but I should really understand it and remember not to force it."

"Ding~"

The phone rang, and it was a voice message from Xu Manying. It lasted more than 20 seconds, was very long, and was a bit long-winded...

"Huang Tianxuan came to our house again! She seems to be sick, and she asked you to make midnight snacks. You are not allowed to make them for her! And I have already finished my overtime work and got home. Why haven't you come back yet? Come back quickly!"

"Ding~"

Another voice message came from Wu Wenyue, and she said impatiently: "Go home quickly, Man Ning wants to have dessert, and Sister Nanny wants to eat fruit. If you don't want to do it, just buy it for them on the way."

"What are you talking about? You obviously want to drink water..."

The second half of the sentence was spoken by Huang Tianxuan, and the voice message ended here.

Li Peifeng didn't shy away from it. The volume was just a little lower when he played it, but it was enough for Zhao Qingge to hear the two messages clearly.

The former felt a little funny after hearing this, and then turned to look at Zhao Qingge: "You can also go upstairs with me, it just so happens that the three of them are here, so we can have an in-depth chat."

Zhao Qingge lowered his brows and eyes slightly: "...Okay."

Close the door, get out of the car, and go upstairs.

The elevator goes up, open the door and enter the house.

"Husband is back...eh?"

"Professor Zhao?"

And the next moment, the three girls in the room were surprised by Zhao Qingge and Li Peifeng's return together, but seeing the gloomy atmosphere in the unanimous calmness of the two, they didn't ask Zhao Qingge's purpose for coming here in the first place.

Only Huang Tianxuan showed a smile: "Peifeng, drug research and development has made progress again, and you may be able to complete the process research stage before you graduate. And we found that this drug has a very good side effect, it is beneficial to the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It seems to have a very good effect, but it is not 100% sure yet."

"That's really nice."

Li Peifeng answered casually while changing his slippers.

And his attitude also made the eyes of the three girls more serious.

After changing the shoes, Li Peifeng turned around and looked at the three of them, pursed his lips and said, "Qing Ge's parents suggested that the two parents meet, and I agreed. My dad has a train at 3 o'clock in the morning and will arrive tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for their response, Li Peifeng silently used [Mind Consonance] to transmit the conversation between him and Zhao Qingge just now, which also included his own affection and concerns about jointly obtaining the certificate.

It may be because the relationship between each other is deeper, and it is much more convenient to connect with the heart than the first time. You only need to say the name of the other party in your heart to establish a link, and then express your thoughts in a second, and explain everything to the three. It took Li Peifeng less than three seconds.

It also took time for the three people in front of them to digest a lot of information. After Li Peifeng sat on the sofa, they finally finished digesting, and their expressions became more stunned or angry with disbelief.

"So you want to choose..."

"listen to me."

Li Peifeng interrupted by shaking his head, pulled Zhao Qingge to sit on the sofa, and let the other three sit down, then took a small stool and sat opposite him.

There was a coffee table between the two parties, and the distance seemed very close, but it seemed to be far away.

"..."

Facing the different expressions and the uniform gazes of the four people, Li Peifeng wanted to speak twice, but stopped again. After half a minute, he was finally brewing, but it was still a bit difficult to speak;

"It may be because of my nature, or it may be because of some strange encounters, which made me a person who doesn't like to stay behind. I'm used to seeing rare scenery first, dangerous scenery first, and saying what I want most. As I said, love the person you want to love the most first.”

"I don't think that leaving a way out doesn't mean that hope is lost. Besides, I feel that being with you or being very happy makes me reluctant to look too far behind...so when you insisted on letting me choose, I wanted to be a rascal. , I choose to give each other a love that does not leave a future for each other every day, so as to record my true life.”

Speaking of this, Li Peifeng had a stiff expression of not knowing what to do, looked at the faces of the four people opposite him, and tried his best to maintain the posture of looking at each other: "But looking at it now, I haven't considered it thoroughly enough."

Huang Tianxuan leaned her body slightly and covered her face with one hand, only showing a wry smile: "You know that too?"

Miss Xu looked more sad than heartbroken: "The bad news is that he only knows!"

"It's a little too late to know!"

Wu Wenyue snorted, then seemed to have forgotten the topic of the discussion, and criticized Li Peifeng: "Didn't you tell me...to bring fruit to Manning? What about fruit?"
