As the sun set in the west, a gentle breeze blew in, and the cool air gradually cleared Pei Muyan's mind. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he reopened them, his gaze had returned to its usual calmness.

  He couldn't let himself fall into Su Wanwan's sweet attack again, and he couldn't let her lead him by the nose once more.

  Otherwise, he would be deliberately breaking the law again.

  Pei Muni thought for a moment, and his eyes were tinged with sadness.

  -

  While eating, Pei Mochen's face still didn't have any expression, his whole body exuding a cold chill that made people involuntarily retreat, Su Wanwan wanted to get close to him but was intimidated by his indifference and hesitated.

  But recalling what Mrs. Pei had said to her, she suddenly regained a bit of confidence, and with renewed courage, she picked up the chopsticks and placed one of Pei Muyan's favorite dishes into his bowl.

  Pei Muni's movements paused for a moment, but it was fleeting, and he continued eating, as if he hadn't seen the dish she had picked out, until he finished his meal without touching that dish.

  After dinner, Pei Mochen and Su Wannan accompanied Pei's father and mother for a while. When Pei Mochen got up to bid farewell, Su Wannan hurriedly stood up too.

  Mrs. Pei, however, grabbed Pei Mu Nian's hand and said discontentedly: "Every time you come back, you can't even stay for a few hours before rushing to leave. What's wrong? Don't you want to see me and your dad? No way, tonight you have to stay here and spend more time with us."

  "Mom, I still have something to take care of at the company."

  "Every day there's something, where do all these things come from? Our Pei Corporation has so many employees, can't they handle it? If you have to personally take care of everything, then even family relationships are gone." Mrs. Pei said angrily, "If that's the case, what's the point of having them in the company? Might as well fire them all!"

  "Mom, I really have something on."

  He glanced at his watch and said, "I have to go."

  Mrs. Pei saw that Pei Mu Nian was unmoved, so she turned her head to Mr. Pei beside her and complained, "Old Pei, you'd better say something! Look at your precious son, his heart is only on work, he doesn't even care about family anymore."

  “……。”

  Mr. Pei was also a man who had experienced many storms, he wasn't afraid of anything, the only thing he feared was his wife's nagging, he looked at Mrs. Pei with some headache, Mrs. Pei was making eyes at him, he was helpless, and could only speak in a low voice, "Mu Nian, if it's not something particularly urgent, let's deal with it tomorrow, stay overnight tonight and keep your mother company."

  Mr. Pei spoke up, and although Pei Mu Nian didn't want to stay, he couldn't argue with his own father, so he furrowed his brow and could only agree.

  Madam Pei's expression on her face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, and she said with a smile, "Why don't you stay overnight tonight as well? I'll have someone go and get your beds made right away."

  Having said that, Mrs. Pei didn't wait for Pei Muniang's reaction and got up straight away to instruct the servants.

  Su Wan's hands, which had been hanging loosely by her sides, clenched into fists without her realizing it. Her heart was trembling with a thread of fear... Was she going to share the same bed with Pei Mu Yan again tonight?

  About ten minutes later, Mrs. Pei turned back and saw that only Su Wanwan was left on the sofa in the living room, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where are the father and son?"

  "They went to the study." Su Wanwan replied.

  Mrs. Pei nodded and then smiled: "Wan Wan, Mom has helped you get this opportunity, so be sure to do a good job tonight."
