After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 402 - 400 What Kind of Devilish Help Is This?

No matter what was really going on, Xia Wenyan had to come back and explain himself.

Avril pretended to be obedient and nodded. She raised her hand to dab at the corners of her almost tear-free eyes, but in reality, she sneakily watched Wen Qingyu’s retreating back as he went to make a phone call.

When Xia Wenyan saw Wen Qingyu’s incoming call, he was going over a script with Pei Huai.

He immediately jumped up from the sofa upon seeing the caller’s name, "Brother Pei, my mom’s calling me."

Although he didn’t know what Wen Qingyu wanted from him, he felt sure it was nothing good.

Avril had left so arrogantly yesterday, she must have had a backup plan.

His mom usually didn’t contact him if there was nothing important, so if she did, it definitely meant there was an issue.

Xia Wenyan had a nagging feeling that this had something to do with Avril.

Pei Huai looked at Xia Wenyan, who was like a bird startled by a mere twang of a bow, and patted his shoulder, "Don’t be nervous, answer the call first to listen. Maybe it isn’t as serious as you think."

Pei Huai said this but deep down, he was just as nervous as Xia Wenyan.

He was even a bit worried; perhaps Wen Qingyu had heard something from Avril, and that was why he had called for Xia Wenyan to leave him.

Thinking this, his fists involuntarily clenched, but he maintained a calm and breezy appearance on the outside.

Of course, Xia Wenyan had no idea what Pei Huai was thinking. Seeing Pei Huai so composed, he mentally psyched himself up.

If Brother Pei was this calm, he definitely couldn’t lose face. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Xia Wenyan took a deep breath before answering the call, "Hello? Mom?"

"Lao Si, what exactly is going on with you and Avril? Why did she come to our house crying first thing in the morning, saying that you bullied her? She even wants to marry you. What exactly did you do?" Wen Qingyu’s voice slowly came through from the other end of the phone.

Although Xia Wenyan didn’t put the call on speaker, in the quiet room, Pei Huai could still clearly hear everything coming from the phone.

His brows furrowed significantly. It seemed Wen Qingyu didn’t know what Xia Wenyan had actually said that day.

Pei Huai wondered why Avril hadn’t told Wen Qingyu about yesterday’s events. What exactly was she planning?

Did she think that by covering for Xia Wenyan, he would agree to marry her?

That was simply daydreaming.

Xia Wenyan certainly didn’t have Pei Huai’s patience. The moment he heard Avril slander him, he exploded, "Is that woman insane? When did I ever bully her? Why didn’t she mention how she was acting like a lunatic yesterday, trying to latch onto me?"

Just the thought of Avril clinging to him like a plaster yesterday, insisting on marrying him and having his children, sent a chill down his spine.

Although Wen Qingyu didn’t know what had transpired between the two of them, from the sound of Xia Wenyan’s words, it seemed he hadn’t done anything despicable. Wen Qingyu immediately felt a sense of relief.

"Avril is making a scene over here. If it’s nothing important, come back home early and sort this out."

Wen Qingyu’s voice came through the phone once again.

Xia Wenyan looked visibly unhappy, "What’s there to sort out? Just kick that shameless woman out!"

It was bad enough she slandered him, but to also spread rumors in front of his parents was utterly diabolical!

Wen Qingyu was a bit troubled as well, "Do you think I’d still be calling you if I could just drive her out?"

Avril clearly wasn’t going to be reasonable, and even if Wen Qingyu wanted to kick her out, it would be difficult.

So she could only ask Xia Wenyan to come back.

Xia Wenyan frowned, but hearing Wen Qingyu’s words, he calmed down quite a bit.

Thankfully, his mom still trusted him; otherwise, this situation would have been much more difficult.

After hesitating for a moment, he eventually agreed, "I understand, I’ll come home in a bit. Make that woman wait for me. If she dares to slander me, she better be ready to get hit!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wenyan’s entire face collapsed.

He had been very firm in his words, but thinking about Avril’s unreasonable tantrum-throwing manner, Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

His mom would definitely consider the feelings of Avril’s parents, and if she really agreed to let him marry her, what would he do?

As Xia Wenyan thought this, his pleading gaze turned to Pei Huai, "Brother Pei, what should I do? I feel like I’m going to be ruined by that woman Avril..."

He sounded so pitiful, completely oblivious to the fact that Pei Huai’s expression had turned utterly gloomy because of what he had just said.

If that woman Avril really intended to harm Xia Wenyan, he wouldn’t mind sending her straight to the King of Hell.

His brows furrowed slightly, "Are you going back to the Xia Family later?"

Xia Wenyan nodded, "Avril is throwing a fit at my place right now, so I definitely need to go back."

Otherwise, if his father found out that his beloved mother was upset because of him, he would be in for a beating.

Pei Huai pondered for a moment and when he looked at Xia Wenyan again, there was obvious concern in his eyes.

"Give Zhaozhao a call."

Besides Wen Qingyu, the most influential person in the Xia family was Lu Zhaozhao. With Lu Zhaozhao there, he could feel a bit more at ease.

Xia Wenyan’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Right, how could I forget my precious little sister? If my mom doesn’t believe me, Zhaozhao can vouch for me!"

The thought of having Lu Zhaozhao’s help relaxed him considerably.

Xia Wenyan took out his phone and was just about to call Lu Zhaozhao when Pei Huai leaned in close.

He looked at Pei Huai with confusion, "Brother Pei, you still... hiss..."

Before Xia Wenyan could finish, Pei Huai bit him on the neck.

Tears came to his eyes from the pain.

Xia Wenyan looked at Pei Huai in disbelief, his voice clearly tinged with a sob, "Brother Pei, why did you bite me?"

He looked at Pei Huai with a pitiful, reproachful expression, his eyes filled with a slight resentment.

This was the first time Pei Huai had "laid a hand" on him after all this time they had spent together.

"I’m helping you," Pei Huai said without changing his expression, his hand touching the teeth marks on Xia Wenyan’s neck.

"???"

Xia Wenyan’s confusion deepened—why did helping him involve biting him?

What kind of devilish method of helping was this?

Thinking this made Xia Wenyan feel even more aggrieved, his eyes reddening even more than before.

Pei Huai’s Adam’s apple moved, his voice a bit hoarse, "With your voice already having a crying tone, now is the perfect time to call Zhaozhao."

Xia Wenyan seemed to suddenly understand something and instantly felt less aggrieved.

He picked up the phone to call Lu Zhaozhao but then paused as if he remembered something.

"Brother Pei, I think I’m an actor..."

As a basic skill for an actor, he did have acting ability.

He couldn’t claim to have ceiling-level acting skills, but shedding tears in ten seconds—he could do it!
