Free Web NovelChapter 525: Chapter 340: Getting Married in Sequence? (Part 2)
Speaking of the magic item "Oath of Trust," Li Peifeng rarely used it after acquiring it. He only used it once, during contract negotiations with Endpoint to avoid any damage to his interests—he basically cheated. Otherwise, the copyright issues wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. This time, he’s planning to use it again because he’s worried about being ’axed’...
Thinking far ahead, Li Peifeng stood up before the dishes arrived. He prepared a bowl of hot pot dipping sauce and sat next to Wu Wenyue, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Regarding our relationship, I have an ultimate solution. See if it works for you."
Wu Wenyue was slightly taken aback and nodded, "Speak."
"Don’t be mad after I say it."
"That depends on whether your solution is a bad idea."
It kind of is.
Li Peifeng pursed his lips, "Ultimately, there has to be a result between us. But Brother Yue, you know me, any result is fine, I just don’t want to choose between them..."
Wu Wenyue impatiently said, "You want it all, I know what you’re thinking. You’ve already faked self-harm and pretended to have mental issues—who would dare force you to choose? But the problem is how you intend to solve it. You can’t keep dragging this out indefinitely. If you do, the day you graduate will be the day Manning and I say goodbye to you."
Though Wu Wenyue often threatened to kill Li Peifeng and had a bad temper, he knew that among the four girls, she was actually the one most indulgent and spoiling towards him. These harsh words didn’t carry much weight in his heart.
Xu Manning, on the other hand, had the temperament of a spoiled rich girl, easily throwing tantrums. Li Peifeng treated her like raising a daughter or looking after a younger sister—how do you raise a daughter? How do you look after a sister? Of course, by pampering and coaxing her.
Zhao Qingge was mature, and interacting with her felt like learning from a teacher or receiving care from a mother. There was no need to deliberately give in or coax; instead, Zhao Qingge accommodated and guided him. Yet, she was rational and restrained, and no matter how much she loved him, she wouldn’t let Li Peifeng get too audacious. Her highest tolerance for the quintuple relationship might only be after marrying him and taking charge in their marriage, allowing her to turn a blind eye.
Huang Tianxuan was similar, but President Huang had a stronger career focus. Her ambition was evident from her research in magic and her desire to bring those abilities into the real world, and her pursuit of ’power’ and ’wealth’ was the greatest among the girls. Romantic relationships were important to her, but not overwhelmingly so.
Lastly, considering Wu Wenyue alone, the fact that she harbored a secret love for Li Peifeng and waited for him for many years proved her deep affection. Moreover, Wu Wenyue’s preferences were quite ambiguous, and she had a lot of history with Huang Tianxuan. Overall, her acceptance of the quintuple relationship might also be the strongest. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Therefore, after thorough consideration, Li Peifeng shared his carefully thought-out plan with Wu Wenyue first:
"I plan to solve it like this—it’s simple: get the marriage license with you in the order I met you."
This simple sentence threw Wu Wenyue into silence, and Li Peifeng continued to explain, "This ’meeting’ refers to the first time we met and interacted. When I came to Beihua Teachers, I first met Old Zhao, then you, followed by Manning, and lastly, Huang Tianxuan. So, the order of getting the marriage certificate follows this. Brother Yue, you’re second—what do you think?"
Since he returned without result from Zhao Qingge, Li Peifeng had come up with this bad idea. Since marrying and having a child with Huang Tianxuan was now inevitable, he might as well marry the other three as well. But before that, he needed to gradually seek their approval.
"I’m second?"
Wu Wenyue stared at Li Peifeng for a long moment, then slowly smiled, "As the second person to marry you, I’m really honored." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Your dishes are ready."
The waiter brought the dishes one by one, and Li Peifeng, eyes dodging, was the first to move his chopsticks. He dipped the fatty beef in the pot, nervously saying, "This order doesn’t involve anything else, it just follows the sequence of our meetings. However, I also considered other factors: the main one being that Qingge is the oldest among us, her parents are anxious, and so is she. So, I plan to get the certificate with her first after graduation. For this, I apologize to you, Sister Yue... Here, try a piece of meat, ah~"
"Get lost!"
Seeing Li Peifeng trying to feed her meat, Wu Wenyue’s expression changed as she finally couldn’t hold back, "Who needs a twice-married man like you to feed me?"
Li Peifeng, innocent, said, "Sister, I’m not even married yet."
Wu Wenyue glared at him, "So, this is your ultimate solution? Marrying me after becoming secondhand goods, and then making yourself a quadruple-hand public transport?"
"Don’t phrase it that way; I’m discussing it with you. I haven’t even mentioned it to them... Keep it down, keep it down!"
The hot pot restaurant was quite full. Although Li Peifeng had chosen a private room, he was still worried about the neighboring rooms overhearing. Given his recent fame, people often recognized him and asked for photos. If this matter got out, Li Peifeng felt like he’d really be done for.
"Brother Yue, what do you think of this solution?"
Fortunately, after a while, Wu Wenyue calmed down on her own. After Li Peifeng whispered to follow up, she solemnly said, "I’m against it anyway, and I guess Manning wouldn’t agree either. The other two would be even harder to convince. Plus, your plan has many issues. For instance, what if you marry them in turns and then divorce them one by one—then what? Among the four of us, one would have to remain married to you, right?"
