Chapter 618 She's Very Well-Behaved (Forty-Seven)

Shang Shang felt a pang of sympathy for him. Although Pei Yanli spoke of it casually, in their childhood, having a child out of wedlock was still something to be laughed at.

During that era, many educated youth who went to the countryside concealed their marital status, dated locals, and then lost contact with them after returning to the city.

Pei Yanli should be the same.

Pei Yanli smiled as he saw Shang Shang looking at him with eyes full of heartache. He bent down and kissed her forehead. "It's okay. Although I lived in the countryside when I was a child, my mother treated me very well. The food might have been a little worse, but I never went hungry."

Shang Shang suddenly reached out and hugged his waist: "From now on, I will treat you very well."

Pei Yanli laughed, his hands covered in dish soap foam. He couldn't hug her, so he could only lower his head and affectionately rub his chin against the top of her head: "Okay."

Yan Lei originally wanted to take a look in the kitchen, but before he could even get over, he saw the two of them hugging. He quickly retreated back into the kitchen and gossiped with Du Mengmeng and Wang Jianni: "Old Pei is really like an old house on fire. Look at him, he's in a relationship and he can't wait to stick together."

Wang Jianni leaned back on the sofa and sneered, "Don't laugh at others, you might end up like that yourself."

Yan Lei thought for a moment, but remained cautious and didn't say anything.

Pei Yanli finished washing the dishes and came out. It was almost three o'clock. He called to Yan Lei, "Let's go. It's getting late. Let them rest."

Shang Shang usually goes to bed around this time every time she stays up late. She was already a little sleepy. After seeing the two of them off, she didn't even have the energy to chat with Du Mengmeng and Wang Jianni. After a quick wash, she went to bed and lay down to sleep.

Wang Jianni and Du Mengmeng each found a room to sleep in.

Undisturbed, the three slept until noon.

Du Mengmeng opened her eyes and screamed, "Ah, Shangshang, Nini, why didn't you wake me up? I have to go to work today."

She shouted and looked at her phone, then burst into tears again: "Ahhh, the alarm went off, and I turned it off!"

Wang Jianni was woken up and came over yawning: "Keep your voice down, Shang Shang hasn't gotten up yet. If you ask me, you don't really need to go to this class. Why don't you go work at your dad's company? Why do you have to suffer as a financial reporter?"

Du Mengmeng sat on the bed with a long face: "You don't understand at all. Being a reporter is my dream. I love this profession."

Wang Jianni leaned against the door: "Think it over carefully. Do you still love this job as much as you used to? If it's just for the job, why don't you go home and inherit the family business?"

Du Mengmeng pouted and didn't speak. Wang Jianni called out, "Alright, hurry up and get up and wash up. If you want to go to work, you can catch the afternoon shift. If you don't want to go to work, take leave now. I'll treat you to hot pot for lunch."

Without a second's hesitation, Du Mengmeng immediately called her boss, saying that she hadn't finished dealing with personal matters and wanted to ask for another day off.

The leader was also agreeable, and since Du Mengmeng was usually a good person, he told her to settle her personal life before coming back to work.

After hanging up the phone, Du Mengmeng lay down and sighed, "I'm really lazy right now. I really don't want to go back to work after a few days of rest."

Wang Jianni wasn't surprised: "You're the most suitable person to go back and inherit the family fortune."

Shang Shang listened to the two talking and then groggily got up. She checked the time and said, "How come it's so fast? It's almost midnight."

Wang Jianni nodded: "Let's skip breakfast, wash up, and go straight to hot pot. I know a hot pot place that's really good, with a light flavor, which is perfect for Shang Shang who's injured right now."

Shang Shang shook her head: "No, I can't eat hot pot with you guys. I need to go home and get my dressing changed."

Du Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat hot pot first, then Nini and I will take you to get your dressing changed, and we can go play in the afternoon."

Shang Shang thought for a moment and then shook her head: "We can have hot pot together, but we can't play together. I have to go to the lab. Although my mom told me to rest recently, there are a few experimental projects that I still need to check on."

Wang Jianni went over and patted Du Mengmeng's head: "Hurry up, not everyone is like you. I have to go to work too. I've had to put several cases on hold because of you, and I need to get back to work quickly."

Du Mengmeng hummed in agreement: "Fine, I'll go to work after I eat."

After washing up, the three of them went to choose Shangshang's clothes to change into. Although they were different in height and weight, Shangshang had a lot of casual clothes that didn't discriminate against body types.

After eating hotpot, Wang Jianni went back to her office first, while Du Mengmeng drove Shang Shang home to change her dressing.

On the way, Du Mengmeng still felt that Shangshang was the most reliable, and whispered to Shangshang, "Shangshang, what do you think of me and Yan Lei?"

Shang Shang thought about it seriously for a moment: "Let's follow our hearts, don't overthink it, leave the answer to time and our hearts, and see what the final result is?"

Du Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I can't be as calm as you. You've never been in a hurry, no matter what happens to you."

Thinking about it carefully, I've never seen Shangshang get anxious about anything.

Shang Shang sighed and said, "I don't think I've encountered anything particularly urgent."

Du Mengmeng thought about it and agreed. Shang Shang was naturally a slow-paced person, and by the time she realized something, the damage was already done.

Moreover, she doesn't care about many things, so there's really nothing that makes her anxious or upset.

When Shang Shang arrived home, she was surprised to find Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi both there. "Mom and Dad? You didn't go to work?" she asked.

Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Xiye: "I'm waiting to change your dressing. Your dad is fine this afternoon and will be back at noon. He's just feeling uneasy because he didn't see his precious daughter yesterday."

Shang Shang smiled and hugged Zhou Xiye's arm: "Dad, how could I get lost? Mengmeng, Nini, and I were together last night."

Zhou Xiye hummed in agreement, realizing he had overreacted, as he had already been lectured by Jiang Zhizhi.

If their daughter gets married, will they still have to deliver meals to her every morning?

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "Alright, I'll go change your dressing. Your dad needs to process his emotions on his own. I suspect he'll be crying his eyes out when you get married."

Shang Shang laughed and leaned on Zhou Xiye's shoulder: "Then I won't get married, and I'll stay by my parents' side for the rest of my life."

Zhou Xiye looked embarrassed: "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Xiao Pei is a very nice young man. Invite him over for dinner sometime."

Shang Shang nodded happily: "Okay, I knew Dad loved me the most."

Jiang Zhizhi took Shangshang inside to change the dressing. Seeing that the wound had scabbed over, she applied her own homemade ointment.

"The recovery is going very well. It seems our ointment is effective. We can start mass production soon."

After applying the ointment, Shang Shang felt a cool sensation and felt quite comfortable.

Jiang Zhizhi bandaged the wound and helped Shang Shang get dressed: "By the way, Fanxing called today and said she was coming back. Why is she suddenly coming back? She's only been gone a few days. Did she have a fight with Zhiyun?"
