"Young Madam, here are all the gifts you prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Pei."

"I'm so sorry! I got into a car accident on the way here, a pileup, so I was delayed in getting to you."

Huang Liu put the gift box on the ground and spoke to Xu Nanyin in rapid succession.

His face was full of apology, and his acting was so realistic that it was comparable to that of an actor. Xu Nanyin almost believed that the gift he mentioned was really prepared by her.

She glanced at Pei Jingmo calmly. Mr. Pei was lowering his head and slowly helping her peel macadamia nuts. His profile was calm and expressionless.

She replied: "No delay. But you, are you okay?"

Huang Liu waved his chubby hands and looked at Pei Muchuan with a smile on his face, "Mr. Pei, the young lady asked me to prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for you and your wife in advance last week. The young lady is so thoughtful and polite!" As he said this, he gave a thumbs up exaggeratedly.

Pei Muchuan frowned and didn't respond.

Suddenly, Pei Jingmo stretched out his long arms and handed him a few peeled white, round nuts.

Pei Muchuan was stunned for a moment, an expression of flattery inexplicably appeared on his face, and he reached out to take it.

The next second, Pei Jingmo turned his hand and handed it to Xu Nanyin, "Forget it, my wife has been wronged, give it to her."

Pei Muchuan gritted his teeth with a dark face. "Rebellious son!"

Xu Nanyin lowered her head to hold back her laughter, took the macadamia nut, pinched one with her fingertips and put it in her mouth, instantly tasting the delicate and rich milky flavor.

"Mr. Pei, shouldn't you apologize? Facts have proven that Xu Nanyin is not lacking in etiquette and upbringing."

"Is this a temporary fix by you, or did she prepare it?"

Pei Muchuan looked at Xu Nanyin with disapproval, "Asking an elder to apologize on behalf of a younger generation is too immature. If it were Weiwei, she wouldn't do that."

Pei Jingmo said coldly, "Shen Wei uses inferior raw materials to make products, passing them off as good quality, leaving consumers embarrassed and bloating their wallets. Mr. Pei, don't you think she's so sensible that it's frightening? If I really marry her, she'll be sensible even when you're lying in bed one day, pulling out your oxygen tube."

Just as Pei Muchuan was about to lose his temper, he stood up again and took the gift bag with a hand-embroidered green pine and cypress tree on the box and handed it to Pei Muchuan, "This is for you."

"Who cares!" Pei Muchuan said coldly.

Xu Nanyin calmly ate pistachios beside her. With Pei Jingmo around, there was no room for her to even bother with words.

Huang Liu was also happily enjoying the melon when he suddenly remembered that he had something important to do: "Boss Pei, here is the contract you asked me to bring." Then he took out a stack of documents from his bag.

Pei Jingmo took it and turned directly to the signature section on the last page of the document. He handed the pen to Xu Nanyin and said, "Sign."

"what?"

Xu Nanyin subconsciously wanted to see what document she needed to sign.

Pei Jingmo held her hand and said, "No need to look at it, just sign it."

Xu Nanyin obediently took the pen and signed her name.

After signing, he wanted to read it, but Pei Jingmo closed the document and handed it back to Huang Liu. His black eyes narrowed slightly, and his beautiful eyebrows revealed a sinister look: "Xu Nanyin, you're done. You signed a contract to sell yourself. I sold you out."

Xu Nanyin's round almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she smiled. "Where are you selling it? Tell me the route in advance so I can run back. I'll let you sell it a few more times, and you'll get 7% of the proceeds, and I'll get 3%."

After being stunned for a second, Pei Jingmo laughed out loud and rubbed her head, "You are sensible."

Pei Muchuan stood up and left with a cold face.

Huang Liu held the heavy documents in his hand. Oh my god, in his next life, he also wanted to be reborn as a woman and date someone like their boss...

Xu Nanyin looked at another gift box, on the surface of which was embroidered a lifelike, graceful and beautiful peony.

"I'll give the gift to my aunt."

"No need." Pei Jingmo said indifferently.

Xu Nanyin pinched his ear and said, "You've clearly prepared it with all your heart, so of course I have to give it to you."

Pei Jingmo snorted coldly: "Huang Liu chose it, what do you think?"

Ignoring him, Xu Nanyin went upstairs with the gift box and knocked on Ye Qingrou's door.

Seeing her, Ye Qingrou's eyes were filled with tenderness and love, "Xiao Xu is here."

"Auntie, this is Jing Mo's Mid-Autumn Festival gift for you."

Ye Qingrou was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it, sat on the chair and began to open the gift. Her movements were careful and focused, like a child receiving a beloved gift, so adorable.

Inside the gift box was a necklace of Australian white pearls, each pearl was plump and beautiful, sparkling with the brilliance of money.

Xu Nanyin looked at Ye Qingrou's surprised expression and knew that Pei Jingmo had made the right choice in giving the gift. He had clearly put a lot of thought into it.

"Auntie." She couldn't help asking, "Is there a misunderstanding between you and Jing Mo? For example, he thought you didn't want to hug him since you were a child..."

Ye Qingrou's expression froze, and she said softly, "That's the truth. Don't blame him, it's all my fault."

"Auntie, but I can feel that you love him very much..."

"Xiao Xu, you don't have to worry about so much for me. I just want you and Jing Mo to be together and live happily."

Ye Qingrou's expression was gentle, but she was obviously unwilling to talk more.

Xu Nanyin didn't ask any more questions. Seeing a box of licorice lozenges on the bedside table, she asked, "Auntie, do you have a sore throat?"

"I have a cold and cough, yes."

Xu Nanyin immediately went out to ask Aunt Zhang for a hot water bottle, filled most of the bag with hot water and handed it to her, "Auntie, try a hot compress, it will feel better."

After taking it, Ye Qingrou looked at her with a faint smile, "That's great, Xiao Xu, I'm very happy to have you by Jing Mo's side."

"Auntie, please call me Yinyin from now on."

Xu Nanyin's pink and white little face smiled sweetly and endearingly.

Ye Qingrou gently reached out and touched her head, "Yinyin, you are so good."

"Ahem." A voice came from the door.

Xu Nanyin turned around and saw Pei Jingmo walking in slowly with his hands in his pockets.

He said in a casual and nonchalant tone: "Xu Nanyin, you are still more charming. Madam Pei is ten times more kind to you than to me."

Xu Nanyin glanced at him amusedly, but then he walked up to Ye Qingrou and asked, "Are you really completely unaware of what my uncle did four years ago?"

"What's the matter?" Ye Qingrou asked puzzledly.

Pei Jingmo looked at her for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "Indeed, when my grandfather was seriously ill, you were busy meeting your lover abroad..."

Xu Nanyin was stunned for several seconds. When she came to her senses and was about to scold him, she heard a roar: "Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Pei Muchuan strode in and shouted angrily, "What lover?"

Pei Jingmo glanced at him and Ye Qingrou, and was actually a little surprised. "For so many years, you two have been playing your own games outside. Isn't this a tacit understanding?"

Before Pei Muchuan could lose his temper, Xu Nanyin grabbed Pei Jingmo's arm and dragged him out the door.

"Lover?" Pei Muchuan's face was gloomy. He stood in front of Ye Qingrou and said, "Give me an explanation."

A trace of confusion appeared on Ye Qingrou's face: "Why should I explain? I'm not the Cheng Yu you're thinking about. Is it meaningful to know whether I'm loyal to you?"

She said indifferently, "Besides, does a person who has cheated on his wife many times have the right to demand loyalty from his partner?"

Pei Muchuan rubbed his brows fiercely, almost gritting his teeth: "Who is it? Who is he?"

Ye Qingrou looked at him with clear eyes: "Guess. Or if you have the ability, find him yourself."

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and Pei Muchuan turned and left with a gloomy look on his face.

He stood in the corridor, smoked several cigarettes, and after thinking for a while, he called Pei Jingmo into the study.

Glancing at Ye Qingrou's tightly closed bedroom across from him, Pei Muchuan closed the door and said in a deep voice, "You can make up stories about me, but don't say that about your mother in the future. She's not that kind of person. Don't misunderstand her and hurt her feelings."

He was not a young and impulsive boy. After all, he had lived under the same roof with Ye Qingrou for more than 20 years. How could he not know what kind of person she was?

This so-called lover is absolutely fabricated.

He emphasized: "Your mother would never do something like cheating on her husband. She is such a good person."

Pei Jingmo narrowed his eyes slightly. This couple was becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand.

"Indeed, only a person of low character would leave his good wife at home and keep a mistress outside."

His body stiffened, his face darkened, and he coughed uncomfortably.

"Tsk." Pei Jingmo smiled thinly and suddenly asked, "Mr. Pei, when did you start having a crush on Mrs. Pei?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Secret love, I understand."

"You know shit!" Pei Muchuan said with disdain, "Do you think I'm still your age? Your mother and I have been married for many years, after all. I'm just saying something fair on her behalf."

Pei Jingmo looked at him dimly for two seconds and chuckled, "Remember your attitude now. One day you'll cry. Don't come to me then."

Downstairs, Xu Nanyin sat on the sofa, casually flipping through the business cards handed to her by the girls.

Suddenly, a slender hand reached out, grabbed the business card and threw it into the trash can.

Pei Jingmo sat down next to her, and when she turned her head, he pressed his thin red lips softly against hers. "Bored? I'll take you out for a walk."

Xu Nanyin thought about what had just happened, and asked directly when she had doubts: "Why did you take me to meet those girls?" He knew that they were arranged by Pei Muchuan, but he didn't take her away.

"I want to see how you react when faced with a group of demons and monsters. I want to feel out your background and see if I need any help in improving your skills."

Xu Nanyin understood that being Mrs. Pei in a wealthy family like the Pei family would require facing many challenges. Since she had decided to stand by his side openly, he wanted to train her step by step.

Xu Nanyin asked: "So what about my foundation?"

Pei Jingmo raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, "Not bad. With Teacher Pei's careful training, she will definitely become big and strong in the circle of wealthy women in Beijing in the future."

Xu Nanyin chuckled, her pretty face full of joy. "Don't worry, I'm in a good mood now. I've had a lot of psychological shadows since I was a child, and now I've learned to hide in those shadows to cool off. It's so cool."

She laughed a few times, but saw Pei Jingmo's dark eyes narrowed slightly and his face darkened.

"What's so funny?"

He rubbed her head: "Hurry up and disperse those shadows for me. I am a big tree for you to lean on. Why are you hiding from the shadows? Just hide in my arms."

Their eyes met. His dark, beautiful eyes were so soft and deep that they seemed to look into her heart. Xu Nanyin curled her lips and snuggled into his arms. "Okay."

Suddenly, the door opened and a chattering sound was heard.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The colorful rainbow fart rushed into the door on its short legs.
