After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 421 - 419: What Turnaround?

"Wait a sec!"

Xia Wenyan suddenly shouted, startling Pei Huai.

The car jerked to a halt at the roadside.

After Pei Huai stopped the car, he frowned tightly and looked at Xia Wenyan, as if asking with his eyes why they needed to stop.

Xia Wenyan stretched out his hand and pointed toward a figure not far off, but at that moment, Avril had already vanished from his sight.

Xia Wenyan couldn’t care about anything else and immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

Pei Huai was taken aback by his sudden action but quickly also opened the driver’s door and followed Xia Wenyan out of the car.

The two of them happened to stop right in front of the mall entrance, so as soon as Xia Wenyan got out, he headed straight for the mall door.

"Brother Pei, hurry up and follow me," Xia Wenyan said as he walked forward, gesturing to Pei Huai to come along.

Pei Huai sighed helplessly and resigned himself to follow.

Although he didn’t know who Xia Wenyan had just seen,

since he was asked to go along, he naturally would.

You indulge the one you choose.

Pei Huai watched Xia Wenyan’s sneaky behavior and couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his mouth. free𝑤ebnovel.com

There were quite a few people in the mall, and because of Xia Wenyan’s actions, many people were looking their way.

He would have been better off walking openly, this sneaking around only drew more attention.

But clearly, Xia Wenyan hadn’t realized this problem himself.

Pei Huai, a tad helpless, raised an eyebrow, took a stride forward, reached out his hand and grabbed the back collar of Xia Wenyan’s shirt, yanking him up.

"Walk properly, stop fooling around."

His voice was mild yet carried an indescribable indulgence.

Xia Wenyan had long been used to Pei Huai’s favoritism, his attractive peach blossom eyes instantly crinkling with a smile, "Alright, Brother Pei, I’ll listen to you!"

He had just finished speaking and was about to walk forward with Pei Huai when unexpectedly, just as they rounded a corner, the person they were following suddenly turned back.

The two groups just happened to run into each other face to face.

"So it is you," Avril, whom Xia Wenyan had been following, lifted her eyebrows fiercely and looked at Xia Wenyan with displeasure.

She had just been walking when she heard a very familiar voice behind her, thinking she had heard wrongly, only to find it really was Xia Wenyan.

Being caught following someone was a first for Xia Wenyan, but with his knack for thriving in the entertainment circle, how could he show weakness in front of Avril?

Xia Wenyan feigned nonchalance and lifted his chin slightly, "What? Is this mall only for you to shop in, and not for me?"

When he said this, his gaze deliberately shifted to the man next to Avril.

Black hair, a high nose and deep eyes, slightly tanned skin, and a sturdy build, with a full beard on his face—such obvious features belonged unmistakably to someone from ZD country.

How did Avril get to know this man?

Avril seemed to notice the doubt in Xia Wenyan’s eyes, but she had no intention of enlightening him.

Thinking back, she had set aside her pride to go to the Xia Family, wanting to marry him.

He had the nerve to reject her outright, and now that she had found a better option, if he were to get in her way...

Avril’s eyes narrowed slightly, "You can shop all you want, but if you’re thinking of doing anything else, I’d advise you to save it. Even if you regret it, I will never look back!"

What the hell?

Look back at what?

Why would he regret anything?

Do you regret not agreeing to marry her?

He wouldn’t have followed her if he hadn’t been worried that Avril was scheming something against the Xia Family behind their backs!

The burly man standing next to Avril slightly furrowed his brows and looked at her, "Baby, do you know him? Is he your friend?"

"Not at all!"

"Not at all!"

Both of them almost simultaneously answered the man.

Avril seemed to feel that her reaction had been somewhat abnormal, so she quickly softened her voice and said to the man beside her, "Farhad, this person is a neighbor from my childhood, hardly a friend."

Xia Wenyan heard Avril’s voice, which she nearly squeezed out of her throat, and frowned uncomfortably.

This woman really knows how to pretend.

Pei Huai saw his expression and sneakily pinched his arm, reminding him not to cause trouble.

Xia Wenyan, although not in agreement, didn’t act rashly.

Farhad just nodded lightly. "No problem, a neighbor from childhood can still be considered a friend. Are they here to shop? I can pick up the tab."

When Avril heard Farhad say this, her face suddenly turned a bit ugly.

She knew Farhad was wealthy and didn’t care about such expenses, but the thought of letting him spend money on Xia Wenyan really annoyed her.

They had humiliated her before, and she hadn’t settled the score with them yet. Why should her boyfriend buy them anything?

No way, absolutely not!

But she couldn’t say this outright in front of Farhad; that would hurt his pride.

From their time spent together, she realized that Farhad was extremely concerned with keeping face. Moreover, he fit her standards for a spouse in every other respect.

His family was illustrious, with his own company and wealth.

He was handsome and well-built.

He was an exceedingly rare marriage prospect.

Moreover, the two of them had experienced love at first sight, after which Farhad had fiercely pursued her.

They had now reached the stage of talking marriage, and getting a marriage license would make her the affluent wife of a wealthy family.

Why would she still need to care about the Xia Family’s opinion?

Thinking this, Avril wrapped her arm around Farhad’s, "I think we’d better not disturb them. They might be here to buy wedding supplies just like us, only they probably can’t get married back home."

Her words instantly clarified the relationship between the two men, prompting Farhad to give them an extra look.

In his country, such a situation would face legal sanctions.

So Farhad’s impression of them plummeted instantly.

His face darkened as he looked away as if avoiding garbage, "I can’t believe how open things have become back home..."

Upon hearing Farhad speak, Avril couldn’t help but reveal a triumphant smile at the corners of her mouth.

Although she didn’t know if Pei Huai and Xia Wen were really a couple,

Since he dared to use that excuse to confront her, she didn’t mind stomping on his face.

How could Xia Wenyan fail to see the expressions on their faces?

In fact, he didn’t mind Avril’s provocation in the least, since after all, it was an excuse he had made up to resist marrying Avril.

But would Brother Pei mind?

Xia Wenyan sneaked a glance at Pei Huai and didn’t expect to see his face looking extremely gloomy.

Xia Wenyan simply leaned his head close to Pei Huai and in front of Farhad and Avril, gave him a loud "smack" with a kiss on the face.

The sound was so loud that Avril and Farhad’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!
