Chapter 403: Arguing Ceaselessly (2/2)
Only until the whole board was filled with the chess pieces did the two of them realize that there was no winner and that the game had ended up in a draw.
Pei Qingfeng laughed and replied, “You’re thinking too much into this. Even if you meet her every day, what’s not yours will not be yours in the end. I’ve spent a lot of time with her in the general’s residence… We even spent time together in the same room with only a thin screen separating us. Why do I need to worry?”
Pei Rumo felt that he had been angered to the point where he felt like vomiting blood.
Pei Rumo clenched his teeth and the ball of rage in his stomach ballooned to the point where he almost stopped breathing. If it wasn’t because he didn’t want to disturb Bai Luochu’s rest, he would have already started fighting with Pei Qingfeng.
“Even if it’s just the two of us here, there are definitely ears on the walls. If you want to make a move against me, you should at least give some face to Luo Chu. Even if she is Divine Physician Bai, everybody knows that she is the orphan of the former great general. Pei Qingfeng, aren’t you acting a little too unbridled?

Pei Qingfeng raised his head and when he saw the complex emotion of his older brother’s face, he instantly understood Pei Rumo’s confusion. “You must be surprised that I didn’t disagree with you.” Pei Qingfeng asked as he removed the chess pieces from the chessboard.
“I failed to consider this issue thoroughly. Especially when it comes to Luoluo… Taking a step back, she might not even choose me as her husband. It seems like I am being too rash…”
Seeing the proud Pei Qingfeng doubt himself, Pei Rumo mocked his second brother in his heart. However, he knew that Pei Qingfeng was right. Bai Luochu wasn’t someone they could see through as they wished
