Married for a long time

After the matters in Jingjun were settled, Qiao Peiyu returned to S City the next morning.

Compared to Jingjun, the weather in S city is much warmer and more comfortable. A shirt is enough during the day and at most a light jacket at night.

He didn't go back to Lianyun Villa, but went back to Qiao's villa.

The New Year was approaching. After discussion, Qiao Yixing and his wife planned to let Qiao Yixing take Qiao Xiya back to his hometown to spend the New Year with the old lady. She and Qiao Peiyu stayed at home with Su Li.

Otherwise, if we go back, Mrs. Qiao will act like a monster again and make a good year miserable.

By the way, they also asked Qiao Yixing and his daughter to do ideological work for the old lady. They had no objection to Qiao Peiyu and Su Li being together. They thought they had been talking for so long before, so when Su Li's mood had almost recovered, they would choose one. The wedding was held on the day.

But they haven't seen any clues in the past two days, and they don't know what they think.

Therefore, as soon as Qiao Peiyu came back, Yu Qingyuan dragged Qiao Peiyu to Qiao Yixing's study and began to investigate.

"What do you think about the matter with Ah Li?" Yu Qingyuan asked straight to the point.

Facing the cross-examination of the second elder, Qiao Peiyu smiled, "What? Your parents don't want to recognize this daughter-in-law?"

Qiao Yixing was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and patted his shoulder lightly, "You just need to know what's going on. Such a big thing just happened. Ah Li, please stay with her more, talk to her more, and enlighten her." enlighten."

Yu Qingyuan answered, "You don't have to worry about the rest. It's useless for your grandma to object."

"Ok, I know."

Qiao Peiyu responded, what he actually wanted to say was, how could he be willing to let her be hurt and wronged again for his lost treasure.

After leaving the study, he saw Su Li standing in the corridor outside with a solemn expression.

It was only 27 hours apart, but to Qiao Peiyu, it seemed like many years had passed.

He walked over and asked, "Why are you standing here?"

"What did your parents say to you?" She frowned, feeling uneasy.

Qiao Peiyu laughed and held her hand, "What else can I say, of course it's about the two of us."

"Wh...what's the matter?"

"What else can happen to the two of us?"

Su Li stopped talking and was silent for a few seconds. Qiao Peiyu took her back to her room. The moment the door closed, he pressed her against the door panel and placed a soft kiss on her lips. superior.

For a long time, until Su Li could hardly breathe, he relaxed his strength and pecked her lips repeatedly, as if to comfort her.

It did work, and Su Li was no longer as uneasy as before.

"What? Do you still want to regret it?" Qiao Peiyu's voice was a little hoarse after the passionate kiss, and he raised his hand to caress her face, "What do you think is going on between us?"

"Then parents..."

"Don't worry, they support you and ask me to treat you well and spend more time with you." Qiao Peiyu pecked her lips again, "We won't go back to our old house during the Chinese New Year. I will accompany you."

"Grandma..."

"You don't have to worry about these things, and you don't have to think about them so much, you know?"

Su Li nodded slowly, met his eyes, slowly put her arms around his waist, and pressed her face against his chest, saying nothing, but full of dependence.

Qiao Peiyu smiled, hugged her tightly, and kissed her forehead.

It has been a difficult journey for both of them. What they can do now is to face the existing problems bravely and cherish each other.

At noon on New Year's Eve, the family had a reunion dinner at Qiao's villa. In the afternoon, Qiao Yixing took Qiao Xiya back to his old house.

But seeing that Qiao Peiyu and Su Li are a little restrained and sweet, Yu Qingyuan can't be a lightbulb here. Moreover, Mrs. Qiao is a very mean person. She has to go back and convince people with reason, otherwise Qiao Yixing could not be suppressed.

Before leaving in the afternoon, she gave Qiao Peiyu a few instructions. The three of them would be back around the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

As soon as they left, the whole villa seemed much cleaner.

After dinner in the evening, Su Li nestled on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala together with Qiao Peiyu. When it was almost midnight, Qiao Peiyu bought a fairy stick and took her to play outside for half an hour and took some photos.

Back in the house, Su Li took a shower and saw Qiao Peiyu blatantly leaning on the head of his bed, sliding his hand across the screen of his phone.

"Why are you here?"

"Sleep." Qiao Peiyu replied matter-of-factly.

"You're not...going back to your room."

"Well, I went back and took a shower. I can't...take it with you?" He smiled gently, "It's not impossible."

Su Li blushed, glared at him shyly, walked over and patted him with a pillow, "Go back to your room and sleep..."

Before the last note could finish, Qiao Peiyu grabbed her wrist, pulled her onto the bed, shouted to turn off the smart light, and kissed her earlobe in the dark, "You sleep with me."

Su Li got into a fight, her neck couldn't help but tremble, "You...I..."

"I don't do anything, I just sleep." He explained in a low voice.

Su Li paused and pinched his waist awkwardly, "What did I say? Stop talking and go to bed quickly."

A pleasant and comfortable laughter came from behind, "Pinching a man's waist is a hint, you know? Baby."

Su Li: "..."

It was over, she felt that this time Qiao Peiyu teased her even harder than before.

Apart from blushing and being nervous, she could only purse her lips and pretend to be asleep.

"A quinoa."

After a long while, Su Li heard his steady breathing and thought he had fallen asleep. He wanted to turn over, but didn't want to just move. Another hoarse voice that sounded like restraint and restraint murmured in his ear.

Su Li's back was numb for a moment, and she tried her best to suppress her trembling voice, "What...what's wrong? You're not sleeping yet?"

"I can't sleep."

"why?"

"because of you."

"I haven't done anything. You should go to bed quickly. It's very late. I stayed up late today and I'm sleepy too." Perhaps because of her nervousness, she spoke very fast, with the final sound of each word rising slightly. .

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I do not have……"

"Kiss."

Su Li gritted her teeth, "You...can't you sleep well?"

"Kiss her and you'll sleep." He coaxed softly.

Su Li was speechless and hesitated for a while before turning around and looking up for his lips.

Send a gentle kiss.

When she was about to withdraw, a big hand suddenly grabbed the back of her head, and a dense and impatient kiss fell down without explanation, taking away her breath in an instant.

Su Li opened her eyes wide in surprise, put her hands on his chest, and pushed him away for a while, but she didn't have any strength anymore.

When his hands touched the delicate and tender skin on his waist, Su Li couldn't help but tremble and grabbed his clothes tightly.

Feeling something strange about her, Qiao Peiyu slowly stopped, his eyes were clouded, and he hugged her tighter.

"Ah Li, I love you."

Her heart and liver trembled slightly, and her whole body seemed to be tingling with electric current.

She did not resist Qiao Peiyu, but felt more at ease because of his presence.

"Well, I love you too."

Qiao Peiyu smiled softly and rubbed her hair, "Go to sleep, good night, baby."

Su Li blinked his eyes in the darkness, and seemed to have spent a lot of courage before speaking, "Qiao Peiyu, I want to..."

"Ok?"

She was shy to speak, but thought that if it were him, she would be willing.

In the past four years of dating, Qiao Peiyu has actually always respected her. At most, he would hug her and kiss her, and would never do anything beyond her limits.

She remembered that once, he held her in his arms and kissed her for a long time. In the end, his eyes were scarlet, but he kept restraining himself. He rubbed her hair and said in a hoarse voice, "You are so young. I will wait, wait." When you truly belong to me.”

He still seems to be like this now.

Perhaps it was also because she had some bad memories in her mind and didn't want to irritate her.

All considered from her perspective.

"what happened?"

Qiao Peiyu had just finished asking, when a touch of warmth and sweetness fell on his lips. The soft and boneless hand was still moving uneasily through his pajamas.

His Adam's apple rolled, "Ah Li, you..."

Su Li didn't say anything, and just kissed him, returning the turbidity in his eyes that had almost dissipated, and subverting the dark atmosphere in the room into a blur of affection.

————     The nannies and servants in the villa are all on holiday for the New Year.

Qiao Peiyu was in a good mood these days, taking medicine and so on. Under Su Li's supervision, he was also very active.

Su Qi’s cooking skills are pretty good, so it’s not difficult to cook three meals a day.

The two of them stayed at home for a day in the first grade of junior high school. In the second grade of junior high school, Qiao Peiyu took her to see a movie and an amusement park. In the morning of the third grade of junior high school, they took a self-driving trip to the beach. They had a great time catching up on the sea, speedboating, and eating seafood. Very happy.

It also made Su Li feel unprecedented happiness and freedom.

These are things they have never done before when they were in love, and they are also what Su Li dreams of doing. They always think that one day, they can be free and happy, not caring about the eyes of the world, and no longer having to hide.

Fortunately, it has been achieved.

When Qiao Yixing and the others came back on the sixth day of the lunar month, Qiao Peiyu and Su Li hadn't come back yet. After making a phone call, they just let them play, and only asked Qiao Peiyu to pay attention to his health.

The two of them came back the day before the Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Qiao Yixing booked a private room in a high-end restaurant outside and treated Aunt Qiao Peiyu and his uncle and aunt's family to a reunion dinner.

As for what Su Li had experienced, only his aunt's family knew about it, and they didn't tell the other two families.

But everyone knew about Su Li and Qiao Peiyu. They were both cheerful people, so they all supported it. After seeing Su Li come back, her aunt and uncle went up to hug her for a while.

He said distressedly, "Look, this child has been out for a year and how thin he has become when he comes back. He must have suffered a lot."

The aunt was also saying next to her, "It's A'yu's fault for this matter. It would be better if we opened up the matter earlier, so that A'li would suffer so much grievance for nothing."

Su Li listened with a sore nose.

When she left Qiao's house, she had thought that she would definitely regret leaving such a warm home.

Indeed, she regretted it countless times during that period, so now that she is back with her family, she can't help but feel lucky and touched.

Not having blood ties is better than having blood ties.

She may have had too many hardships and ups and downs in her life, but maybe only after experiencing those hardships could she be qualified to deserve the sweetness and happiness she has now.

At least, that's what she told herself in her mind.

Halfway through the meal, Uncle Yu suddenly asked, "A'yu, when are you and A'li going to get married?"

Su Li was stunned.

She had also fantasized about the word marriage, but now that she heard them mention it, she felt dazed for a moment and began to feel nervous subconsciously.

Qiao Peiyu shook her hand under the table and said, "There's no rush now. I haven't made any plans yet. We'll talk about it later."

"You, you are 31 this year, and Ah Li is 27. You two have been dating for so long, and you grew up together. You know each other well. Why don't you plan to get married? Ah Ji is a girl, and you still plan to Can't you ask her to propose to you?" My aunt said angrily from the side.

After other people talked about it, they were a little rushed to put it on the shelves.

Su Li was a little at a loss.

"Oh, let them discuss this matter themselves. When the results of the discussion are reached, we will wait for the wedding banquet and drink the wedding wine." Yu Qingyuan interrupted with a smile at the right time, which also made Su Li relax a little. .

After the dinner party, S city ushered in the rainy season. Qiao Peiyu returned to Lianyun Villa to recuperate, and Su Li followed him.

Although the two are not married, they seem to be living a married life in advance, which is plain but very sweet.

In May, Su Li joined Qiao Group again.

She originally wanted to find another job, but after Yu Qingyuan found out, he resolutely let her join his company.

As a result, on the second day of work, when she went to find Jiang Jianlin to get the documents to sign, she met Ling Sheng.

The two looked at each other, then smiled. Ling Sheng was the first to say hello, "Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see."

"I heard that you and Mr. Xiao Qiao are about to have a good time, congratulations." Ling Sheng has a dignified and elegant temperament, very decent manners and conversation, and her words are gentle and gentle, with a slight smile.

Su Li felt a little embarrassed, especially when she thought about Ling Sheng's almost engagement with Qiao Peiyu.

"Well, thank you." She said softly.

The two were silent for a while, and then the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Jianlin, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked out of it with a dull and indifferent expression, and handed the bank card in his hand to Ling Sheng.

When he saw Su Li, he was stunned for a moment, nodded and said hello, and said to Ling Sheng, "You can buy mine."

Ling Sheng raised her eyebrows and took it with a smile, "Okay."

After saying that, he looked at Su Li again, "My wedding date should be earlier than yours. I'm trying on a wedding dress this weekend. Can Miss Su go with me?"

Su Li was stunned again, "Miss Ling is getting married? With..." Who?

The word stuck in her throat and she did not say it, her eyes fixed on the bank card in her hand.

"Yes, with me." Jiang Jianlin said calmly.

Su Li was confused, what?

What happened during her absence?

After work, she returned to Lianyun Villa full of doubts. Qiao Peiyu happened to be reading information in the study.

"After get off work?" When he saw her coming in, he pushed his chair back with a little force on his legs, smiled and patted his legs, gesturing for her to sit over.

After spending several months getting along with him more closely than before, Su Li was already able to do such a small thing as sitting on his lap.

She sat down without any pretense and put her arms around his neck.

"What's wrong? Are you tired from work?" Seeing that she was not in a high mood, he raised his hand and pinched her soft earlobe.

"I met Miss Ling when I went to the president's office this afternoon."

"Miss Ling? Ling Sheng?"

Su Li nodded.

"What happened when I met her?"

"Miss Ling is getting married to Brother Jianlin? When will it happen?"

Qiao Peiyu sneered, "The two families had plans to get married before, and it just so happened that Ling Sheng fell in love with Jian Lin. She confessed to me at my grandpa's birthday party that time, and I also told her clearly that I have someone I like. , as for how they will develop later, I don’t know.”

"I only know that they were together years ago, but no one in their family knew that the wedding was planned last month because their relationship was discovered by their family."

Hearing this, Su Li suddenly realized, "That's it. Miss Ling asked me to accompany her to try on wedding dresses this weekend."

Qiao Peiyu stared at her, his eyes flashing, and after thinking for a moment, he took the tablet next to him and clicked on it several times before sending it to her, "Take a look, do you like it?"

Su Li lowered his eyes and saw a sample picture of a wedding dress on the screen. His eyes widened in shock, "You..."

"The two of them are getting married at a later time than we are. I think our wedding schedule should be moved forward." He squeezed her soft palm and said, "Ah Li, I want you to be I have been labeled my legal wife and girlfriend for too long, and it’s time to change it.”

Su Li was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but when he heard what she said, he became a little curious, "Then how long do you plan to keep the label of wife? Three to five years?"

Qiao Peiyu shook his head, "No, this label must be affixed for a lifetime, and I won't let you have the chance to tear it off. As for other labels, you can stick it with it."

"Other labels?"

"Well, for example...the child's mother, my wife."

Su Li pursed her lips and smiled, sliding her fingers on the tablet and looking at the wedding dress on it seriously, "I think they all look pretty... This golden one is so special."

On the basis of the wedding dress, the layers of gauze are in light gold, and the embroidery on them is lifelike transparent butterflies.

"like?"

"Ah."

"Then this is the set. My contact person asked her to send the wedding dress over. If there are any flaws, you can change it."

"it is good."

She agreed briskly, but felt that this proposal didn't look like a proposal, and felt a bit like a marriage fraud. She was hesitating in her heart, and her hand was held by him, "This hand looks good, but there is something missing."

"Huh?" Su Li didn't know what was going on. She looked at her white and soft hands and blinked, "What do you mean?"

As soon as the sound fell, Qiao Peiyu took out a two-carat diamond ring from somewhere and put it on her ring finger accurately, making it even more beautiful.

He raised his eyebrows and kissed the back of her hand, "Doesn't it look better this way?"

Su Li was shocked again, "When... did you buy the ring?"

"When I think I should marry you."

Su Li likes autumn, and their wedding was scheduled for September [-]th. She wore the wedding dress that she had chosen at first sight, walked towards him with a bouquet of flowers in hand, exchanged rings, and said to each other under the oaths of the officiant. That 'I do'.

When the whole audience was shouting for a kiss, Qiao Peiyu did not hesitate, held her waist, lifted the veil, and placed a deep kiss on her lips.

When leaving, he said hoarsely, "Su Li, Ah Li, wife... I love you."

Tears shone in Su Li's eyes, her eyes reflected his outline deeply, "Qiao Peiyu, I love you too, and I will never let you down in this life."
