Ningyuan City, Jinyou 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, the couple did not move in because of the residual formaldehyde, but continued to live in the old house.

"Da da~"

Yu Huizhi, who was painting, subconsciously turned around 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 that 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 roaring, and the turbulent waves are beating against the rocks of Gaoyue Mountain. The waves splash almost over the top of the mountain, and they have never happened in thousands of years.

Pause, still rolling and powerful.

Lonely, cold, and slightly intimidatingly mysterious.

If you only look at the upper part of the painting, it can only make the viewer sigh with sadness. As the saying goes, the infiniteness of heaven and earth is so sad that the long and hard work of life is, or, a mayfly is sent to heaven and earth, a drop in the vast ocean.

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 put themselves in their shoes.

I felt the smiles on the faces of the five people, the attachment and attachment to each other, and the fearless spirit.

This makes this painting, although it takes ruthless natural landscapes such as the starry sky and the sea as its theme, is full of romanticism and optimism that "the Creator has endless treasures, and I and my son are in the same place."

"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 told you 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.

"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 meeting?

He really hadn't thought about it for a while.

But the only thing that is certain is that Li Qiyuan did not intend to go along with his son's wishes and went all the way to act out a show with Li Peifeng that would 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. The root cause is 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 previously proposed. The other party gave an answer that was not his.

What you wanted, but what you 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 it, 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 certificates with the three of them, but 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. When he looked at Li Peifeng, his lips trembled and his face turned red.

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

"Don't touch me!"

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

It’s stressful, it’s stressful!

Li Peifeng took a bite out of his mouth. Zhao Qingge held his head against him and was 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 and not resisting, he glared at him again. After about four or five seconds, he turned his head away from him and said nothing.

Too lazy to say anything, just communicate directly in my mind.

[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 to fight.

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

Li Peifeng fell into thinking.

[Second, how long do you think you can hide what you did from them? It doesn’t mention that you were met by an acquaintance on the road after marriage, or that you revealed any clues, or that the three of them got angry one day and showed off to their parents. Just talk about it.

There will be a wedding soon, four weddings for four people. Do you think that none of the guests in these four weddings will 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 a wedding is held, no one will take photos and post them on WeChat Moments? Can you guarantee that these four weddings are completely confidential and will not be exposed on social media and make the news? 】

Li Peifeng could not 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. Either my parents will find out, or their parents will find out, or friends around us will find out. How can you solve this problem? Or do you and Ben not have long-term considerations? 】

【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 his 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, it would not necessarily make the elders happy.

Anger and complaints dissipate.

Although money is good for life, other aspects are also very important, such as face, dignity, and external evaluation.

What? When you married my daughter, you also obtained certificates with other women? One, two, three...four?! And all my relatives and friends knew 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, because of their status, they will never be swayed by pure money. They value face more. When the time comes, when they are angry, they may want Li Peifeng's life. And Mr. Li

I really can’t think of what to do to avoid being held accountable by them after my affair is revealed.

What's more important is that they may not only pursue Li Peifeng, but after knowing the entire incident, they may also vent their anger and resentment on their own daughters.

Disobedient and unfilial, dishonoring the family, corrupting morals, and lacking any sense of shame!

Facing 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 may 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 thinking wildly...

"You are no longer living in a dream. Please be clearer."

Zhao Qingge spoke in a soft tone: "I can understand you, and I 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. The communication between people builds the microcosm 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 a choice. Before, you chose to delay and turn a blind eye, but the problem still exists, and you still need to

Face it. This is never something I or others force you to face, but a difficult problem 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 into silence, a thought came over him again that he tried to be subtle but couldn't hide his feelings.
