Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 78

Disrespecting the Elderly?

Pei Kuang looked at Song Anan's flushed face, stunned at first, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This little girl is just too adorable.

Song Anan was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw Pei Kuang laugh like this, she became unhappy immediately.

What's so funny? Just because he said unfilial conduct, I'm not allowed to say disrespecting the elderly?

She said angrily, "What are you laughing at!"

Pei Kuang's survival instinct kicked in immediately. "Nothing, I'm just too happy."

Song Anan humphed and turned her head to the other side.

Pei Kuang laughed as he came to her other side and sat close to her. He asked again to confirm, "If I didn't misunderstand, you just agreed to let me pursue you?"

Song Anan was stunned for a moment. Didn't she express herself clearly enough?

She shook her head and replied, "No."

The smile on Pei Kuang's face froze. He asked uncertainly, "Then what do you mean?"

Song Anan hesitated for a few seconds, then asked earnestly, "Was that a confession just now?"

Pei Kuang didn't quite understand what she meant, but still nodded honestly.

Song Anan looked satisfied. "Since it was a confession, then I agree to be with you."

"No need to pursue me."

Song Anan didn't know how others determined their relationships, but in her opinion, Pei Kuang liked her and she also liked Pei Kuang, that was enough.

Whether to pursue or not, or who pursued whom, was not so important.

Hearing Song Anan's words, Pei Kuang was stunned. When he regained his senses, his heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Undoubtedly, the reason why he was so anxious to rush back from the hospital was because he couldn't wait any longer.

But it couldn't be denied that coming here with injuries to lay his cards on the table was also a gamble that the little girl would take pity on him.

Gambling that she would be soft-hearted and couldn't bear to directly reject him, thus giving him a chance to pursue her.

Pei Kuang smiled bitterly to himself. Look, he was never a decent person at heart.

However, what he never expected was that Song Anan would agree directly.

Looking at Song Anan's pure and harmless appearance, Pei Kuang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

One of the main reasons he was able to become good friends with Song Linchuan was because of the simplicity that Song Linchuan possessed which he yearned for.

But after meeting Song Anan, he realized her purity was even more so.

Her purity made him feel ashamed, yet he couldn't help but want to get close to her. Being by her side was as if the whole world was beautiful, making him linger on infatuatedly.

Pei Kuang had always known that he was not a good person. To use the words of many in the entertainment industry, he was a smiling tiger, slick and calculating at best, hypocritical and scheming at worst.

After so many years of struggling in the entertainment industry, he never felt that being calculating was wrong. In order to achieve his goals, he would even stop at nothing.

But this time, he felt a little regretful.

Pei Kuang sighed and said, "Anan, you can think about it carefully again, there's no need to agree so hastily."

Giving him a chance to pursue her would be enough, he didn't dare wish for too much.

Just like he said before, if Anan found that she still couldn't like me after all, that would be fine too. She could call it off anytime.

Song Anan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly as she listened in confusion.

What does he mean?!

Could it be...having regrets after confessing?

Thinking of this possibility, she was extremely aggrieved all of a sudden.

Is it fun to toy with her?

"What do you mean? If you're unwilling just forget it, can I force you to be with me?!"

After speaking, Song Anan stood up abruptly, about to leave.

Seeing her misunderstanding, Pei Kuang hurriedly pulled her back into his arms.

"That's not what I meant, I'm not unwilling at all. How could I be unwilling to be with you? I dream of it!"

Song Anan stared blankly at him and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Pei Kuang looked at her gently. "Absolutely."

Song Anan pursed her lips. "Alright, it's settled then. No going back on your word."

Pei Kuang laughed lightly. "Okay, I won't go back on my word, but you can."

Song Anan glared at him and mumbled dissatisfiedly, "I won't."

Pei Kuang didn't argue with her, just indulgently replied "okay."

At first she didn't feel anything, but after calming down, Song Anan realized she was being held in Pei Kuang's arms.

Her hand lightly pushed against his chest. His breath brushed past her ear. The ambiguous atmosphere continued to heat up.

Their eyes met. Pei Kuang's Adam's apple rolled as his head slowly lowered...

"Meow~"

Suddenly there was a meow next to them. The two stiffened at the same time and reflexively looked over.

The little fellow Qiu Qiu had come to their side at some point and was sitting not far away, tilting his head looking at them.

His expression seemed to say, what are you guys doing?

Song Anan's face turned bright red. A hot air rushed to her head. Meeting Qiu Qiu's innocent eyes made her feel as if she had been caught doing something bad.

She gave Pei Kuang a push and didn't even dare to look him in the eye. "I, I'm thirsty. Going to get some water..."

After speaking, she trotted to the kitchen as if something was chasing her from behind.

Pei Kuang watched her flee and smiled as he shook his head.

He took two steps forward and squatted in front of Qiu Qiu. "Little thing, I'm punishing you to one week without snacks."

After speaking, he raised his hand and heavily flicked the little guy's forehead.

Whether it was because the flick on his forehead hurt, or he understood the warning of no snacks, Qiu Qiu meowed pitifully several times, sounding extremely aggrieved.

Song Anan was originally calming down in front of the fridge. Hearing the little guy's aggrieved voice, thinking something had happened, she didn't care about embarrassment anymore. Holding the bottle of water, she ran out.

"What's wrong with Qiu Qiu?" Her voice was a little anxious.

As soon as Qiu Qiu saw Song Anan, he immediately crawled to her feet ingratiatingly, meowing even more aggrievedly.

Pei Kuang glanced at the little guy and replied evenly without blinking, "Nothing, he just accidentally bumped into the coffee table earlier."

Song Anan oh-ed and didn't doubt it at all. "Ah, did you get hurt from the bump?"

She first handed Pei Kuang the water, before squatting down to pick up the little guy and check him all over.

After Pei Kuang took the water, he naturally twisted the cap open and handed it back to Song Anan. "He's fine. Little cats bumping and scraping is very normal. He can't get hurt from it."

Qiu Qiu let out a timely meow, as if in protest.

Song Anan shook her head. "Drink it yourself, I got it for you."

Pei Kuang didn't decline and drank a few mouthfuls before screwing the cap back on and placing the bottle on the nearby coffee table. Then he pulled Song Anan to sit back down on the sofa.

After thoroughly checking and making sure Qiu Qiu was fine, Song Anan finally put him aside to play by himself.

"By the way, how are your injuries?" Song Anan turned to look at Pei Kuang and asked.

Pei Kuang smiled. "I'm really fine, don't worry."

Song Anan humphed. She didn't have a chance to scold him earlier, but now she finally did.

He had clearly promised well on the phone that day to recuperate properly, but today he directly rushed back. He was being hypocritical.

"Didn't you say you would let your injuries heal properly? What's with the messing around, if there's anything that can't wait until you've fully recovered to talk about, I won't run away!"

Pei Kuang thought, that's hard to say. What if she did run away, who could he cry to?

But he knew better than to say this out loud. He still had some survival instinct left. He immediately put on a good attitude to admit his mistake.

"Sorry, I was wrong. I promise I won't mess around from now on and will properly recuperate at home."

Song Anan glared at him, but her anger dissipated.

But she was still a little worried. After checking him thoroughly to confirm there were no issues, she finally put her heart down.

After the fuss, Song Anan looked at her phone and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you back. You need to rest early."

"Oh right, take Qiu Qiu back too. It hasn't seen you for days, it must miss you. Wait a moment, I'll go pack its things."

After speaking, Song Anan was about to get up to pack Qiu Qiu's things.

Pei Kuang hurriedly stopped her. "No need, I can go back myself. Let Qiu Qiu stay for now, we'll talk tomorrow."

After speaking, he glanced at Qiu Qiu sleeping soundly in its cat bed. The shameless little guy didn't look like it missed him at all.

Song An'an thought for a moment and felt it would be fine too. Qiuqiu was too hyperactive, running around back and forth. If she happened to bump into Pei Kuang's wound later, it wouldn't be good.

It would be better to let her stay here and recuperate for a few days.

"Let me send you back, so I can support you on the way." Song An'an said.

Pei Kuang smiled lightly and nodded, "No need to support me, I came here myself earlier."

"Also, if you send me back, I'll be worried and have to send you back again. Are we planning to keep sending each other back and forth all night?"

Song An'an uttered an "Oh" and didn't insist anymore. She knew this situation could really happen.

After all, Pei Kuang had always insisted on sending her back every night before, even though it was just a few minutes' walk within the same neighborhood.

Pei Kuang changed his shoes at the foyer, and Song An'an followed behind, sending him to the door.

"Rest early tonight, you still have work tomorrow." Pei Kuang said.

Song An'an lightly hmm-ed, and shook his shirt hem, saying: "You too, message me on WeChat when you get home."

Seeing the girl's reluctant appearance, Pei Kuang immediately felt his heart turn into a complete mush.

The next second, he turned around, and pulled the girl into his arms.

Song An'an reflexively wrapped her arms around his waist, "Wha-What is it?"

Pei Kuang didn't speak, he simply leaned down and lightly pecked her on the lips.

"Sealing the deal, you're not allowed to go back on your word now!"
