I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

Li You stomped her feet. “Don’t mention my dark history. Who calls me such a silly name? Even if you want to name me something similar to Friday, you have to give me a more beautiful name, okay?!”

Pei Jingzhou said meaningfully, “Li Friday. Yes, it does sound like a strange name.”

Li You snorted. “That goes without saying.”

Pei Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, “I’m afraid it’s not easy to think about a beautiful one. It has to be a name with an accent that matches a portion of it, and it doesn’t sound strange. Get in the car first and we’ll think about it slowly.”

Li You was ecstatic. She bent to get into the car. She thought of something and stood up straight again. She turned to Pei Jingzhou and said, “There’s a bug in your words just now. Friday has long gone behind the list of favorites. You’re my favorite.” With that, she gave him a wink and got into the car.

Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly. He closed the car door and walked around the front of the car to get in from the other side.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at Lake Lu. Li You lowered the window and looked up at the building in front of her. “Is this called Lake Lu?”

Pei Jingzhou slowed down and entered the district. He turned the steering wheel with one hand and answered, “Yes, Lake Lu.’

Li You turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. “By the way, I haven’t asked you when you bought this house.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “The year before last.”

“The year before last… I thought this area looked a little familiar. These buildings weren’t built the year before last, were they?” she asked.

Pei Jingzhou nodded and said, “It was approved in the middle of the year before last. It was also then that I included the new house in the wedding plan. ”

Li You said in a clipped voice, “Hmph, seriously, you didn’t even tell me.

Although you know my preferences, you should let me know in advance. Then I can participate in this renovation plan.”

By then the car had pulled into the garage, stopped, and turned off the engine. Pei Jingzhou unbuckled his seatbelt and turned his head. “You can participate in the furniture arrangements.”

Li You raised her hand. “Oh yeah!”

Pei Jingzhou said to her, “Like a child.” Li You unbuckled her seatbelt and placed her hand on the door. “If I’m a child, prepare to start in three years.”

Pei Jingzhou couldn’t help but laugh. He got out of the car and walked around to hold her hand. “Let’s go, child. Let’s see our new future home.”

Li You’s left hand was held by him, and her right hand reached out to hold his arm. She coughed twice and corrected him. “What future? It’s clearly our new home now.”

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Could it be because it’s my birthday today? Your lips seem to have been smeared with honey from beginning to end today.”

Li You grinned. “Sweet, right?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “It’s so sweet.”

They took the elevator upstairs. The door lock was a fingerprint lock with a password lock. Pei Jingzhou recorded a fingerprint lock for Li You before bringing her in. The lights were all on. The 300-square-meter condo looked very empty for the time being because there was no furniture yet.

Some of the main household appliances had been installed, but there was no television or washing machine. It was hot in summer, so Pei Jingzhou turned on the air conditioner. Li You went to the master bedroom. There was indeed nothing there. The cloakroom next door was still being measured.

Pei Jingzhou leaned against the door frame and looked at her. “What style do you like for the wedding bed?”

Li You had just come out of the cloakroom. When she heard Pei Jingzhou’s question, she replied without thinking, “One that doesn’t shake that vigorously.”

Pei Jingzhou looked shocked. It probably hadn’t occurred to him that she could say such words at will when he asked a serious question.

Li You was quite brave. After saying that, especially when she saw the shock on Pei Jingzhou’s face, she felt that she had sinned. “What I mean is…” She explained seriously, “You have to sleep on the bed every day. In order to ensure good sleep quality, it has to be stable. If you can hear the creaking when you turn over, it will disturb your sleep, right?”

Not to mention Pei Jingzhou, she couldn’t bear to hear this explanation herself.

That’s ridiculous. What year was it? How poor must she be to have a bed that creaked when she turned over?

Pei Jingzhou beckoned her over, and Li You walked closer. After the shock on Pei Jingzhou’s face passed, he was expressionless. He said, “Say what you just said again.”

Li You shook her head. “l won’t say.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “How big of a commotion can you make when you turn over and make the bed creak?”

Li You glared at him angrily. “You haven’t slept with me before. How do you know if I made a lot of noise when I turned over?” As soon as she said it, she regretted it. She bit her tongue lightly, annoyed with herself for speaking without thinking.

“Oh, 1 haven’t slept with you before, so 1 didn’t know you could make so much noise by turning over.” The amusement in his tone was obvious.

Li You ignored him and walked past him. Noticing the bag Pei Jingzhou had placed there, she pointed at it and said, “I’ve seen the wedding room.l’ll accompany you to open the gifts now. After you’re done, go home.”

Pei Jingzhou walked over. “Alright.”

He squatted down and took out all the gifts from the bag. He was very careful, afraid that there would be fragile items inside. Because there were no sofas, chairs, or stools, Li You squatted down. “Open it. I won’t make a sound beside you. 1 guarantee that every gift you open will have a surprise.”

Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. “Your return was a surprise.”

How nice that sounded. But he just didn’t know what to do. Li You was a little distressed. She thought that Pei Jingzhou probably did not intend to touch her before they got married.

Pei Jingzhou did not seem to understand the hint she had blurted out at the MO residence. If he really understood, would he really ask her to say it again??

How could she say that again?

Pei Jingzhou opened the gift with the fountain pen. Li You saw his reaction and asked softly, ‘Do you like it?”

Pei Jingzhou unscrewed the cap of the fountain pen and realized that there were words engraved inside. At a glance, he could tell that they were his and her initials. He carefully put the fountain pen away and placed it back in the box.

This series of actions showed that not only did he like it, but he also cherished it. He put it away before answering her. “l like it very much.”

Li You folded her hands in her lap and rested her chin on her arms. “l was thinking that you would have a lot of contracts to sign in the future, so I gave you a special fountain pen that you can carry around with you.. Look at how

much I care, right?”
