How's life...

  Su Wan's eyebrows unconsciously furrowed as she listened to Mrs. Pei's question, which seemed ordinary but was actually piercing and sharp.

  If she and Pei Muxuan were like ordinary couples, loving each other, there would be nothing to worry about. But the situation between her and Pei Muxuan was special, their marital life was simply... frustrating. However, she couldn't say it wasn't good in front of Mrs. Pei, so Su Wanwan lowered her eyelids and replied vaguely, "It's, it's pretty good."

  As soon as Su Wanwan finished speaking, Pei Muni suddenly stood up, his voice almost devoid of warmth. "Is Dad in the study? I'll go take a look." Then, without waiting for Mrs. Pei to respond, he strode away.

  Although Pei Muni didn't say anything, his actions were equivalent to directly denying Su Wanwan's claim that everything was fine. Su Wanwan sat there awkwardly, looking somewhat at a loss.

  Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Mochen's cold back and then glanced at Su Wanwan's confusion, softly sighing in her heart.

  "To ease the atmosphere, she pretended to be relaxed and scolded with a smile: 'Look at this stinky kid, he's always sulking, who knows how much money someone owes him? Wanwan, I'm sorry.'"

  Su Wanwan also knew that Mrs. Pei was giving her an excuse to step down, so she smiled at her gratefully and spoke in a low voice, "Don't worry about it, he's actually been really good to me."

  Mrs. Pei didn't like Su Wanwan at first, not because of her family background or anything, but because of her relationship with her nephew Gong Lingyu. After all, she almost became the daughter-in-law of the Gong family. However, when they first met, Su Wanwan was particularly well-behaved and quiet, so Mrs. Pei had a good impression of her. Now, seeing how her own son treated her, she didn't have any complaints, but instead spoke up for him, and her affection for Su Wanwan grew even more.

  Mrs. Pei stretched out her hand and gently covered Su Wanwan's hand, saying softly: "Wanwan, Mu Nian may look cold on the outside, but he is actually very enthusiastic in his heart, so don't be scared by him like this. As long as you treat him with kindness, he will definitely treat you with kindness too, understand?"

  "Mom, I will." Su Wanwan nodded obediently.

  "Good, good child." Mrs. Pei smiled with satisfaction and continued: "What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you."

  "It's okay, mom, I can eat anything."

  "Alright, I'll take charge now. His dad is on the second floor, you go up and say hello, I'll head to the kitchen for a bit."

  "Uh-huh."

  After Mrs. Pei got up and left, the large living room was only left with her and the servant girl. Su Wanwan didn't want to sit here alone, so she stood up.

  She should have gone upstairs to greet Pei's father, but Pei Mu Nian was also on the second floor. If she went up, she might not even see Pei's face before being driven away by him.

  Su Wanwan was hesitating whether to go up or not, when Pei Muxuan's tall figure suddenly appeared at the staircase entrance, stepping down one step at a time.

  Su Wan stood there in a daze.

  Pei Muniang walked up to Su Wanwan, her black eyes slightly lowered, her gaze falling on her face, the light at the bottom of her eyes was deep and unpredictable, revealing a hint of danger, Su Wanwan involuntarily shrunk her neck.

  She suppressed the urge to run away, forced a smile and said calmly, "Pei, Pei Mochen, I was just about to go up and say hello to Dad."
