Ah Cheng poured him another glass of ice water. Water droplets appeared on the outer wall of the cup. Pei Jin picked it up and drank it in one gulp. The cold water penetrated into his lungs and cooled his whole body. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bright lights of the CBD outside.

He would not allow anyone to hurt his love.

at all costs.

He will protect her.

He took out the half piece of the Mandragora jade pendant and looked at it carefully. It was a priceless antique in good condition. It felt cool to the touch and had patterns on it. The Mandragora flower was enchanting and he rubbed it with his fingertips.

What do those people want from this jade pendant?

Shen Yinong dreamed of Xiao Yinhuan all night long. She didn't sleep soundly and was still woken up by him in the morning.

Shen Yinong sat up speechless, with bruises on her eyes. She punched the naughty pink leopard and said, "Xiao Yinhuan, why are you so mean? I'm not even by your side, and you still come to scare me in my dream?"

I am completely sleepless.

I looked at my phone and it was nine o'clock in the morning.

Shen Yinong sent a message to Pei Jin first.

Nongnong, who just wanted to be a salted fish, said, "Mr. Pei, good morning. I'm up, it's still early. How about you focus on your work and I drive to Third Brother's research institute by myself?"

Pei Jin got up at seven o'clock to run, because he had to accompany her to find Shen Juexiu today. He didn't go to the company and was in the study now.

Unconsciously, I was always paying attention to that phone.

As soon as his phone vibrated, he picked it up and looked at it.

Mr. Pei: "I'm not busy. I went there for a meeting today. I'll pick you up. You can pack slowly. Don't worry."

Shen Yinong quickly washed her face, brushed her teeth, changed clothes, and put on makeup.

When I picked up my phone again, there was already a WeChat message.

Pei Jin: "I'm downstairs."

Nong Nong, who just wanted to be a salted fish, said, "I'll go down right away."

Because she had a physical examination, Shen Yinong wore a simple white off-shoulder T-shirt and black wide-leg pants today, with a high ponytail and a small camel-colored bag slung across her body, which contained her cell phone. It was a simple outfit.

On a whim, I put on some light makeup and a smoky pink lipstick. I looked good and it perfectly covered my dark circles.

As soon as I ran down, I saw Pei Jin waiting by the car.

Today he also wore a white tailor-made shirt with a very drapey texture and black trousers. He looked even more youthful in the morning light.

"Mr. Pei."

She rushed over again in one breath.

"Slow down."

"Well, sorry to keep you waiting."

When I got closer I realized he was holding two flowers in his hand.

He handed the two flowers to her after she steadied her breathing. "These are flowers grown in our garden. I went to water them this morning and saw two of them bloom. They looked pretty, so I picked them because I thought you girls would like them."

As expected, Shen Yinong was very surprised when she saw it, "Isn't this Juliet Rose?"

The flower is very big, the outer petals are white, the middle is light apricot pink, the petals are crowded and stacked, trying hard to bloom.

"Yes, I have a whole wall of roses in my villa. They will bloom in a few days. If you like them, you can go and have a look."

Shen Yinong sniffed the two pleasing roses gently, "A whole wall of roses?"

"Ah."

"Wouldn't it look nice to drive?"

Pei Jin opened the car door and said, "Look at the many flower buds, it should be very lively."

Shen Yinong sat in and asked, "Can I really go and see it? Can I take pictures at the flower wall?"

"Natural energy."

Acheng sat in the driver's seat and looked at their eldest master through the rearview mirror.

In order to accompany Miss Shen to the physical examination today, I put off all my work and went for a run early in the morning in high spirits.

Looking in a good mood.

After getting in the car and taking a few glances at Shen Yinong, Pei Jin asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"what?"

Shen Yinong turned his head.

"Is it that obvious? Didn't I cover it up with makeup?" Shen Yinong quickly took out her small mirror to check. Her makeup was not off.

"Don't worry, it's just a routine physical examination." Pei Jin thought she was worried about the physical examination and couldn't sleep well.

"Oh, I'm not worried. I just had a dream and didn't sleep very deeply."

Pei Jin took the laptop and placed it on his knees. He tapped the screen a few times with his fingers. There was light where his fingers touched. He put on his earplugs and said, "You can take a nap if you feel sleepy. It will take 40 minutes to get there. I'll call you when we get there."

As usual, I put a pillow behind her back.

Shen Yinong saw that his eyes never left the computer screen and sighed, "Mr. Pei is as busy as my eldest brother. It's not easy to manage such a large group."

Perhaps to show that he was going to meet a client, he was dressed very formally today, wearing a bow tie meticulously.

He works very seriously.

"I'll take a nap, you go do your thing." Shen Yinong placed the flower in his arm and immediately closed his eyes.

Pei Jin turned his head to look at her.

She really closed her eyes obediently and turned to the car window. Her hair fell on her eyebrows. I wanted to help her fix it, but I reached out my hand and then retracted it.

He put on his headphones and worked until the person next to him was breathing evenly, then he gently covered her belly with his coat.

Forty minutes later, the car arrived at Shen Juexu's research institute.

Shen Juexiu knew that Pei Jin and Shen Yinong were coming, so he was waiting at the door.

Pei Jin asked Acheng to park the car. Seeing that Shen Yinong was sleeping soundly, he didn't have the heart to wake her up. It was Shen Juexiu who saw Pei Jin's car and walked over. Pei Jin opened the door, got out, gently closed the door, and looked at Shen Juexiu.

"Nong Nong is not in your car?"

Shen Juexiu received a message from Shen Yinong forty minutes ago saying that she would come in Pei Jin's car.

"I didn't sleep well last night. I'm sleeping now."

Shen Juexiu glanced at the back seat of the car and understood, "You still dote on her as much as before, and the degree of doting has only increased."

Pei Jin curled the corners of his lips, "The little girl is young, she should be spoiled."

Tsk.

"Pei Jin, don't be like this. It makes me want to fall in love." Shen Juexu teased him.

Pei Jinying's eyebrows rarely smiled.

"Are there really clients here today?" Shen Juexiu thought it was such a coincidence. With Pei Group and Pei Jin's own company, he should be so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat.

What's more, he has a troublesome half-brother who covets the family property.

"There is an insignificant one. I came here specially to accompany Nongnong." Pei Jin looked at him. "When you draw blood later, can you give me a copy of Nongnong's blood sample as well? I'll have my medical team test it as well?"

"Sure. You've only been studying this during these years abroad."

Pei Jin looked back at the car and said, "I just want to figure it out quickly and solve it for her quietly without letting her know, so that she can live a carefree life without any psychological burden."

At this time, the car door was pushed open from the inside.

Shen Yinong was holding a custom-made men's suit jacket in his hand and looked at the two men standing opposite each other.

They both turned around and looked at her.

"Third brother, Mr. Pei."

I just woke up, my hair is a little messy and my eyes are a little dazed.

He yawned and tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

She trotted over and said, "We're already here, why didn't Mr. Pei call me?"

Because it was covering him with his suit, his whole body was filled with the fresh and refreshing scent of his clothes.

"It's not that I didn't sleep well, I just saw that you were sleeping so soundly, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer."

Shen Yinong handed the clothes to Pei Jin, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Pei Jin took it, put his arm around her, and looked at her carefully. Maybe she had slept enough, because the tiredness in her eyes was gone.

Shen Yinong threw herself into Shen Juexu's arms and called out, "Third Brother."

Shen Juexiu looked at the fluffy little head in his arms and felt very happy. "Why, you haven't seen me for a while. Do you really miss your third brother?"

"Yeah. I do. Very much."

"I want to see if you have lost weight since you went to training camp for almost a month."

I mainly wanted to see if she was injured.

Shen Yinong stood up straight and pointed at her face. "Brother and Mr. Pei both said that I haven't lost weight, but have become rounder."

Shen Juexiu looked at her carefully and saw that she looked good and had indeed not lost weight. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Next time you are away for such a long time, tell your family so that we don't worry."

Shen Yinong lowered his head, "Yes, I understand."

"Mr. Pei, thank you. What time is your appointment with the client? After the physical examination, I will treat you to a meal with my third brother."

"No hurry, it's an appointment this afternoon, I'll go in with you."
