Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning Chapter 21
Woman, you’re playing with fire.
Song Nanchuan’s lawyer letter put a lot of the paparazzi in their place. Seems like the series on him and Pei Ying wouldn’t be seeing a fourth installment in the foreseeable future.
“Your CEO Song really is amazing. These paparazzi are usually ferocious, but after this lawyer letter went out, all of their Weibo’s were deleted, fast as lightening. And now, everything’s all calm.” Ren Shanshan was browsing Weibo as she gave Pei Ying a follow-up report.
Pei Ying raised her eyes slightly as the makeup artist did her makeup. She didn’t dare make too large of a motion. “These paparazzi bully celebrities as they wish, but Song Nanchuan’s company must have lawyers. They wouldn’t have the guts to go up against him.”
“True. The Song empire is so large, they could put those people out of business.” Ren Shanshan started to grow envious as she spoke. “I want to catch a CEO too. Does your CEO Song have any CEO friends?”
Pei Ying, “…Even if he did, (I) wouldn’t (let him) introduce them to you. I don’t want you hurting the poor guys.”
Ren Shanshan, “….”
She glared at Pei Ying unhappily. “What do you mean by that? Although my legs aren’t as long as yours, but all the places that should have something have something, okay? How can you say I’m going to hurt them?”
“…Because you have too much stuff. I’m afraid that you’ll cause them to be unable to get out of bed.”
Ren Shanshan was about to make a retort, when she pondered over Pei Ying’s words. Surprised, she said, “Pei Ying Ying, no wonder you have a man. With words like that, you’re going to overtake me soon.”
Pei Ying, “….”
With a friend like Ren Shanshan and a boyfriend like Song Nanchuan… How would she have kept her innocence?!
Once again, she felt like her soul was being tortured.
After her makeup was done, the photoshoot commenced and proceeded quickly.
The theme that Ren Shanshan came up with this time was “colorful fruits of all kinds.” Not only were fruit incorporated into the material for the clothes, Ren Shanshan had also prepared some fruit to be used as props, to make the photos more appetizing.
Pei Ying’s makeup was also especially tender. The corner of her eyes were smudged with red eyeshadow and glitter. She gave off the very essence of a young lady.
Because they weren’t adding too many new items to the store, the photoshoot progressed quickly. When it was time to change clothes, Pei Ying secretly ate a strawberry and sent Song Nanchuan a photo.
[Ying Ying] So? Cute, right?
[Chuan Chuan] Very cute. I want to take a bite. (glutton)
[Ying Ying] (laugh)
[Chuan Chuan] Things are a bit busy at the office today, so I won’t be able to leave until a bit later. What time are you done? I’ll have the driver pick you up. Go to my house and I’ll pick you up for dinner after I finish up at work.
[Ying Ying] Okay. I should probably by done by 4.
[Chuan Chuan] Okay, I’ll have the driver head over before then.
[Chuan Chuan] Love you. (flying kiss)
“Pei Ying, what are you laughing about by yourself? Have to flirt a bit when you’re changing clothes too?” Ren Shanshan glanced over at Pei Ying, who rolled her eyes. The sour scent of love was fermenting in the air!
Pei Ying pouted and then stuffed her phone into her bag. Then she went to change her clothes and continue the photoshoot.
When they finished taking pictures of all the clothes, it was 3:30. Song Nanchuan’s driver was already waiting outside for her. Pei Ying changed back into her own clothes, but was too lazy to clean off her makeup, so she headed out just like that.
Ren Shanshan sat at the window and watched her get driven away in that Maybach. She seriously thought that she ought to catch herself a CEO.

Song Nanchuan’s driver drove Pei Ying to Song Nanchuan’s house and then returned to the office. Song Nanchuan’s residence had two locks. There was a passcode lock on the gate and then a fingerprint lock on the door.
Pei Ying had the driver send her inside the gate, and then she walked through the garden on her own. A garage was connected to the large, three-story home. Although Pei Ying had never seen Song Nanchuan drive himself, besides the Maybach, the garage also housed a Lamborghini and Porsche.
After scanning her finger, the door to the house unlocked and she walked inside.
It was currently a bit past 4. She didn’t know when Song Nanchuan would return home, so she pulled out her phone to play some games. At 5, Pei Ying started to grow a bit hungry. Because of the afternoon photoshoot, she’d already skipped lunch.
Song Nanchuan’s fridge had quite a bit of food in it. Pei Ying stared at it a bit, but decided to return to the living room. She pulled out a bag of (instant) rice noodles from her own bag to cook.
She’d grabbed it from Ren Shanshan’s studio. Ren Shanshan really loved eating these noodles. Pei Ying didn’t much like it at first because she couldn’t eat sour bamboo shoots, but it was always so fragrant when Shanshan ate, so she couldn’t help but try some.
In the end, the taste totally drew her in.
She happily went into the kitchen to cook her noodles. After the noodles were done, she pulled out a large bowl and filled it up.
She figured that Song Nanchuan would be busy until 7 or 8, so she could eat this bowl of noodles and still be able to go out to eat with him later.
A large appetite was (a sign of being?) headstrong!
Unexpectedly, halfway through her bowl of noodles, Song Nanchuan returned. Pei Ying slurped up some noodles and then turned to see Song Nanchuan walking inside.
When he walked inside, Song Nanchuan smelled a very pungent aroma. It was simply… indescribable. He frowned and quickly walked into the living room, where he saw Pei Ying sitting off to the side.
“Pei Xiujuan, what are you doing in my house?!” He wanted to throw an air freshener at her.
Pei Xiujuan blinked her eyes innocently. “I just made a bowl of noodles.”
Song Nanchuan’s eyebrows knit together even more. “What kind of noodles stink this much? Can you even eat it?”
“Luosifen. Although the smell is really strong, it tastes really good!” Pei Ying picked up her bowl and stood up, holding the bowl up to Song Nanchuan. “Do you want to try some?” (Note: Wiki on the noodles)
“No, thanks.” Song Nanchuan unconsciously took a step back. “Can you go eat that in the bathroom?”
Pei Ying, “….”
Okay, she had a similar reaction when she first saw Ren Shanshan eating it, but wasn’t asking her to eat in the bathroom too heartless?
While she was lost in thought, Song Nanchuan had already started opening the living room windows. Pei Ying couldn’t help laughing as she sat back down to continue. “You’re making a fuss about nothing. Compared to stinky tofu, Luosifen isn’t so bad.”
“You want to eat stinky tofu in my house too?” Song Nanchuan raised his brow at her. Pei Ying could already see from his eyes that his heart was breaking.
She suddenly thought up an evil idea. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and then walked over and wrapped her arms around Song Nanchuan’s waist. “Chuan Chuan~”
She called to him cutely, like a cat. Song Nanchuan’s eyebrows jumped up. “Don’t call me.”
Pei Ying continued to pester him. “Chuan Chuan, give me a kiss~”
Song Nanchuan, “….”
Seeing his taut lips, Pei Ying couldn’t hold her laughter. “Chuan Chuan, weren’t you saying earlier that you wanted a bite of me?”
As she spoke, she leaned in to kiss Song Nanchuan. He turned his head to avoid her abrupt kiss, and then used both hands to push away her head. “Are you done messing around?”
Pei Ying fluttered her eyelashes. “How can a CEO talk like that?”
Song Nanchuan was not amused. “And what’s a CEO supposed to sound like?”
Pei Ying cleared her throat and then put on a biting expression, her eyebrows revealing a hint of warning. “Woman, you’re playing with fire.”
Song Nanchuan, “….”
With such a quick change in expression, shouldn’t he be praising her acting skills?
He looked at the person in front of him. Her face was still covered with the makeup from her earlier shoot, and she gave off a very youthful feeling. The red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes seemed as appetizing as strawberries.
He gave a light laugh and repeated after her. “Woman, you’re playing with fire.”
Just when Pei Ying was about to praise him for being a quick learner, he started to kiss her lips. And then when Song Nanchuan laid down onto the sofa, she suddenly felt that… she was really playing with fire.
“A-aren’t you avoiding me right now…?”
Pei Ying struggled to find a way to save herself and Song Nanchuan grabbed onto her arms. He smiled at her and said, “I realized that the taste isn’t so bad.”
Pei Ying, “….”
After he ate her up, Song Nanchuan held her and breathed deeply. “Still want to eat dinner?”
“Yes…” Pei Ying responded a bit sluggishly. “I didn’t eat anything for lunch, and I only had half of that bowl of noodles…”
How could she be so pitiful…
Song Nanchuan laughed and pressed his lips against her ear. He whispered, “Then change and we go out to eat?”
“I don’t want to go out. I don’t want to move…”
“Then I’ll order out?”
“Okay…”
Song Nanchuan carried her upstairs and let her take a shower. Then he went to clean up. After he disposed of the noodles, Song Nanchuan made a call to a restaurant, and then he went to take his own shower.

The food arrived quickly. When Song Nanchuan walked out from his shower, the doorbell rang. He opened the door for them and then delivery person brought in a large box of food.
Song Nanchuan didn’t have him put out the food and just let delivery person leave the box and go. Then he laid out the food onto the table, one plate at a time. As he was about to call Pei Ying down to eat, she walked down on her own.
“Perfect.” Song Nanchuan shot a smile in her direction. “Did you come down because you smelled the food?”
Pei Ying scrunched up her nose. “Where’s my Luosifen?”
“Got rid of it,” Song Nanchuan responded nonchalantly.
“How could you throw it away?!”
“What else would I do? Were you going to keep eating it? It was already cold.”
Pei Ying sat down at the table unhappily and looked at him. “You’ll regret it later. If you had tasted it, you’d have fallen in love with the taste of Luosifen.”
Song Nanchuan’s brow jumped up. “I won’t try it.” Smelling it was already enough, alright?
After they finished eating, Song Nanchuan called the restaurant to retrieve the dishes. Then he pulled Pei Ying over to the living room to watch a movie.
Pei Ying already had a certain expectation with Blu-rays, but perhaps because they’d just done it, Song Nanchuan very sincerely and quietly watched the movie with her this time.
When the end credits started to roll, Song Nanchuan pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips. “I’m going abroad in a few days.”
“Abroad?” Pei Ying was taken aback. “Where?”
“New York. I have to personally take care of some company business.”
“Oh…” Pei Ying nodded.
Song Nanchuan hugged her, his eyes a bit reluctant to part. “I’ll be back when things are taken care of. It’ll be a week at most.”
“Okay.”
“Why don’t you come with me?”
“…I still have to film my MV.”
“That’s why I told you not to go to work.” Song Nanchuan was slightly dissatisfied as he gave her a peck. “Wait for me.”
