Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

The lights of the mountain resort illuminated the mountainside all the way to the top, as if draping the mountain in a golden coat on this summer night.

The mountain breeze is much cooler than in the city.

Pei Yubai has booked the entire venue here for his birthday party today, which is mainly a hot spring party.

Jiang Li wore a champagne-colored satin dress that just went past her knees, revealing a small patch of fair skin below her collarbone.

Pei Shiheng personally chose it for her, saying it was "not revealing but beautiful".

It really looks good.

So good that Jiang Li stared at herself in the mirror for a few seconds before leaving the house, almost not recognizing herself.

Pei Shiheng stood beside her.

He wore a well-tailored white suit with a discreet silver-gray family crest pinned to his collar.

Her dark chestnut brown, slightly wavy hair was styled neatly, revealing her deep brow bone lines.

The scent of cedar drifted over on the mountain breeze, crisp and pleasant.

The man stood there, looking like a noble young master who had stepped out of an oil painting.

Then the nobleman lowered his head and smiled at her.

"nervous?"

Jiang Li stubbornly replied, "No."

Pei Shiheng didn't speak, but simply tightened his grip on her waist.

The warmth of my palms seeped through the thin fabric of the skirt.

"Don't be afraid."

"With me here, no one will make things difficult for you."

Jiang Li's ear tips turned red.

Help! How did this man manage to say something that hit her heartbeat?

Pei Shiheng saw that she was not speaking and assumed that she was really scared.

"If you don't want to go in, let's go home now."

He raised his hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

His fingertips brushed casually against her burning earlobe.

"Yu Bai's birthday is not important; what's most important is that the baby is comfortable."

If Pei Yubai, who was standing in front, heard these words, he would probably put on a heartbroken act on the spot.

Jiang Li smiled and took his hand, leading him forward.

"It's alright, let's go in. We can't have come all this way for nothing."

The two entered the banquet hall.

The spacious banquet hall was already quite full, with Pei Yubai's friends of the same age as well as composed elders.

Upon seeing Pei Shiheng enter with a girl, several gazes simultaneously fell upon him.

Jiang Li felt the scrutinizing gaze.

But in her past life, she had attended so many banquets, big and small, with Shen Yan.

Just by standing next to Shen Yan and enduring all sorts of scrutiny, she developed the ability to remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.

Pei Shiheng led her to the sofa area on the inside where several elders were sitting.

An elderly woman with half-white hair, dressed in an elegant Chinese-style outer garment, was the first to look over, her gaze lingering on Jiang Li for two seconds.

Pei Shiheng bent down, his tone gentle but his pace neither hurried nor slow.

"Grandma, this is Jiang Li, my girlfriend."

Simple and straightforward.

Jiang Li bowed slightly obediently, revealing a polite smile.

"Hello, Grandma."

The old lady looked her over for a few seconds, her gaze sweeping from her face to her fingers, and finally settling on the wedding rings.

"Hey, Shi Heng, are you serious now?"

Pei Shiheng neither dodged nor flinched, but the corners of his lips curved into a smile.

"We are dating with marriage in mind, and we hope that all the elders will take good care of her in the future."

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

She turned her head to look at him.

Pei Shiheng happened to look down at her as well.

His lips curved into a smile, his gaze gentle yet resolute, as if saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He's putting her into his family network.

He was announcing to the entire Pei family that she was the one he was going to marry.

The ginger and pear filling is soft and warm.

Oh my god.

The system emitted an electronic scream.

[Bao, did you hear that? This is happening in front of the Pei family elders!]

This man is registering your household!

Jiang Li tried her best to maintain a calm smile, but her ears were already bright red.

Another man, who looked to be in his forties, chuckled and chimed in, "This is the first time Shi Heng has brought a girl home since he was a child. He seems to really care about her."

"The little girl is quite pretty."

The old lady glanced at Jiang Li, her tone neither warm nor cold.

"We shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of young people; let's just treat them well."

The atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed after stepping away from the elders.

Pei Yubai and Qiao Yue immediately gathered around with several friends from their circle.

"sister in law!"

Pei Yubai shouted, and the whole hall could hear him.

Jiang Li's ears burned; this nickname was just too impactful.

Before she could speak, Qiao Yue had already walked over and naturally took her other arm.

"Jiang Li, you look absolutely stunning tonight."

Her tone was full of genuine goodwill.

"I told you long ago, you look a million times better with Pei Shiheng than with some blind scumbag."

"Let Lu Chengye, that blind fool, regret it."

Several young men also joined in the commotion.

"Heng Ge has finally blossomed like an iron tree."

"I was just saying that when we were having a barbecue on the mountaintop a few days ago, Heng-ge's eyes were not innocent when he looked at his sister-in-law."

Pei Shiheng was in a very good mood.

He let his friends make a ruckus, but his eyes never left Jiang Li.

After Pei Yubai and the others finished their chatter, Pei Shiheng raised his hand and ruffled Jiang Li's hair.

"Are you hungry? I'll go get something."

Do you have any cake?

Jiang Li asked subconsciously.

"Yes, strawberry or chocolate?"

"strawberry."

Pei Shiheng turned and walked towards the dessert table.

A short while later, Pei Shiheng returned with a small plate of strawberry cake.

Instead of handing it to Jiang Li, he cut a small piece with his fork and brought it to her lips.

"Open your mouth."

Jiang Li glanced at the group of friends beside her, who were staring intently at them.

"...So many people are watching."

"Um."

Pei Shiheng remained expressionless. "So?"

His tone was as calm as if he were asking how the weather was today.

Jiang Li: "..."

Fine.

She opened her mouth and ate the piece of cake.

The strawberry flavor melts on the tip of the tongue, sweet and delightful.

Pei Shiheng watched her chewing with her cheeks puffed out, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.

He cut another piece, naturally avoiding the bottom of the cake, the layer of cookies that Ginger Pear didn't like.

A boy nearby couldn't take it anymore, clutching his chest and taking a step back: "I'm leaving now, I'll get diabetes if I keep watching."

Pei Yubai loudly echoed, "Exactly! It's my birthday, and you two have become the main characters!"

Jiang Li was amused, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

Pei Shiheng picked up a tissue and gently wiped away a bit of cream from the corner of her lips.

His fingertip brushed against the edge of her lower lip, the movement so slow it seemed intentional.

Jiang Li paused for a moment.

She looked up at him.

Pei Shiheng didn't stop; his fingertips were still lingering near her cheek.

He looked down at her, his voice so low it seemed he was speaking only to her.

"Is it tasty?"

"tasty."

Jiang Li nodded honestly.

"Then eat more."

"I'm going to take you to a hot spring later. You'll need energy if you eat well."

What kind of strength is he talking about? Something doesn't quite sound right to me.

The system emitted a suspicious electronic sound.

Ginger and pear cause selective hearing loss.

At that moment, the entrance to the banquet hall suddenly became quiet for a brief moment.
