The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Sleeping in One Room! Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Sleeping in One Room! Old Ma didn’t prepare a lot of food, but the dishes from the mountain village were full of rustic flavors.

Pei Jue carefully tasted each dish in front of him.

It was as if he was trying to feel the paths she once walked.

The not-too-big, not-too-small courtyard had only a limited view, but when you looked up, there was a sky full of stars, enchanting and mesmerizing.

“Your fiancée must have been a bit picky about food as a child, right?”

“How did you know?”

Pei Jue pointed at the dishes before them, “These dishes were clearly set aside separately. I just noticed Uncle Ma had leek and flour on him. Was he making leek pockets? Since he didn’t bring them over, he must know you don’t like them.”

The person who knew what she didn’t like would naturally prepare other foods according to her tastes.

Madam Lin never complained about her being picky, except to say that it might affect her growth, but she always cooked according to her preferences.

The current members of the Shen Family also remembered her tastes!

Qingwu looked at the food in her bowl. The bones of the chicken legs and wings were already removed, making the meat melt in her mouth, and the chicken soup was stewed to a golden color; adding local herbs from the mountain made the soup incredibly delicious.

Perhaps the person who remembered what she loved to eat… was also this man in front of her!

After finishing their meal, Old Ma came in from outside to collect the dishes and chopsticks.

He carried a kerosene lamp and spent a long time checking the circuit of Qingyuan, suddenly slapping his forehead: “Oh dear, Miss, it seems our house has a bit of an electrical issue. How about I find someone to fix it tomorrow?”

He had already thought it through, once there was a power outage at home, anything would have to be done in the dark. Wouldn’t the Miss and the son-in-law have to hold hands to get around, and given the small size of the old house, wouldn’t accidentally bumping into each other be inevitable…

Ahem, just imagining it made Old Ma excited!

Madam Lin always said that Qingwu was too stubborn in temperament and would surely worry her when it came to dating. He even discussed with Madam Lin about this… and the tricks being used now were planned back then!

Old Ma chuckled as he thought about it, Madam Lin might be smiling down on them from the heavens!

Qingwu frowned slightly and got up to examine the circuit box.

She lifted her phone flashlight and squinted to look at the circuit box.

“Miss, the old house has been around for many years, it’s normal for the wiring to be aged, don’t worry about it. I’ll call the village electrician to take a look tomorrow.”

Qingwu calmly said, “I remember we have some tools for electrical repairs at home, let me get them.”

Old Ma wasn’t concerned upon hearing this, he remembered that Qingwu studied design and surely wouldn’t know anything about circuitry.

Qingwu found a ladder in the basement, climbed up with insulated gloves on her hands, and carefully examined the circuitry in front of her.

Pei Jue reached out to hold her waist, and for a moment, Qingwu felt an electric-like jolt in her waist, almost thinking it was a leak…

As if invisible sparks in the night suddenly exploded, creating ripples in their wake.

“Careful, if you can’t see clearly let me do it.”

Qingwu’s face inexplicably flushed red.

“You can?”

“My graduate studies required some outdoor practice. To be honest, I designed the Pei Family’s circuitry myself. When will my fiancée come have a look?”

Pei Jue and the Shen Family had bought Leisure Inn’s tower king, while the Dragon Building was always brilliantly lit, its entire yard’s lights as bright as fireworks.

“My big brother says the lights of the Dragon Building are too extravagant, like a peacock spreading its tail.”

“…”

Pei Jue’s smile instantly froze!

He had personally designed the building’s lighting, though it was seldom fully lit. But Eldest Pei insisted on having it on every day, hoping Qingwu would feel the Pei family’s warmth when she saw it…

What if one day his granddaughter-in-law decided she liked their lights enough to marry into the family immediately?

Turn them on! Light up the whole yard!

Qingwu looked at the angles and chips of the circuit board, frowning slightly: “Did someone tamper with the circuit?”

The angles showed signs of deformation, seemingly deliberately damaged with pliers.

Old Ma was shocked, how could the Miss tell!

He had just made those emergency damages himself!

Wasn’t she studying design? How could she even spot circuit problems?

Cold sweat was dripping off of Old Ma’s face!

“Uh, no… the circuit just got old and suddenly shorted out, nothing major!”

“The diode and capacitor also have issues, pass me the tools.”

Qingwu took the tools Pei Jue handed over, aimed the flashlight at the circuit, and quickly fixed it with the tools at hand, using the spanner on the resistor’s parts.

The moment she pulled down the switch, the old house was filled with another layer of warm yellow light, and the portrait of Madam Lin in the hall looked especially kind and gentle.

Old Ma truly didn’t expect his Miss to possess such skills!

After repairing the circuit, Qingwu examined it, “Get the electrician to change some parts tomorrow, many areas are a bit old.”

“Hey, sure, Miss, you and the son-in-law rest first, I’ll go set up the bed for you…”

Old Ma felt quite disappointed. If only the Miss didn’t know how to fix the circuit, the candlelit atmosphere would have been perfect for fostering romance!

Qingwu’s room was small, with just a desk and a single bed no wider than 1.5 meters. The wardrobe was also small, but in front of it was a full-length mirror, decorated with dried flowers.

Qingwu touched that mirror.

“Grandma said little girls love beauty, so she brought this mirror back for me specially from outside.”

Pei Jue surveyed the room. Being tall, the space felt a little cramped to him; the night wind blew in from outside, filling the room with fragrance.

“Grandma treated you very well, she would be comforted watching over you from the heavens now.”

Qingwu nodded somewhat sadly.

It was a pity Grandma was no longer around!

Old Ma poked his head out from the next room, “Miss, you’ll have to endure having the son-in-law share the room with you, the floor in Madam Lin’s room has been gnawed by rats…”

Qingwu’s room wasn’t big enough to make space for Pei Jue to sleep on the floor, it would have to be in the narrow corridor…

That corridor looked crowded just from glancing at it, never mind Pei Jue’s figure lying down, there might be no room to turn over.

She looked at Pei Jue, “Why don’t you sleep in the car?”

Pei Jue gave her a slightly aggrieved look, his voice tinged with a hint of nasal sound.

“Xiaowu, I drive a sports car, a convertible, even though it has a roof it can’t sleep in.”

Qingwu: “…”

She had forgotten that Pei Jue drove a sports car!

In the mountains, the temperature difference between day and night was significant, especially cold at night, and sleeping in the car would surely give Pei Jue a cold; not to mention his model-like height would never fit lying down in a two-seater sports car…

Old Ma quickly chimed in, “Miss, I’ll set up bedding here in your room for President Pei, right next to the bed, it’s spacious!”

Spacious, really spacious.

To the point where Pei Jue could flip over and have his face directly against the wall!
