Shen Yu Nan only looked up at Pei's mother when she asked him a question.

He was naturally unwilling; he loved Pei Wu now and did not want to share her with another man.

However, what happened that night at the main house became a means for him and Mo You to manipulate and check each other.

If he were to truly and decisively cut off all of Mo You's escape routes, he feared that Mo You would fight him to the death.

Even a simple glance at Pei's mother caused Shen Yu'nan's mind to race.

He then glanced at Mo You, who was standing beside Pei's mother. He wondered if Mo You had any substantial evidence to prove that he had deliberately slept with Pei Wu.

If that were true, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The fact that he and Pei Wu have developed their relationship to this point is largely due to Pei Wu's pity for the fact that she forced him into this situation.

If she knew that the other party had used a scheme and taken advantage of her, her fate would probably be the same as Gu Yanyu's yesterday.

Once labeled as cunning and manipulative like Gu Yanyu, it will be very difficult for him to turn things around.

When will he be able to regain his original identity?

Mo You's excellent self-control kept him from speaking after facing Pei Wu's words; his face remained pale, and he kept his lips tightly pressed together.

"I don't know what Mr. Mo You thinks? From my perspective, I still hope that Mr. Mo You's own wishes can be respected."

After Shen Yu Nan spoke, the surroundings fell silent again.

"..." It wasn't until the elder of the second wife, who was sitting to the side, chuckled twice and asked Shen Yu'nan, "If Mo You says he's willing, would you agree to let him into the family?" As a descendant of the second wife, she knew best in her heart that no husband would willingly let another man into the family. She just forced herself to say some high-sounding words to maintain her generous and proper image.

"As long as Mr. Mo You nods, I will not stop him."

Based on Shen Yu'nan's understanding of Pei Wu over the past few days, he knew that since she had already given her opinion, she would stick to it.

What he said at that moment was merely to express his attitude and convey what Pei's mother wanted to hear.

It was also a gamble; given Mo You's personality, he would never readily agree immediately after hearing Pei Wu's words.

"Wu'er, since your husband is so generous, why refuse? What's wrong with having someone caring for you by your side?"

Pei Wu frowned slightly upon hearing Shao Sang's words.

However, she could guess why the usually gentle and obedient Shao Sang would say such a thing; it was probably due to pressure from Pei's mother.

“Mother, you should know my personality. Now that I’ve said it, I’ve made my decision. There’s no need to continue this topic in front of so many people. It will only make everyone feel awkward.”

Madam Pei understood, and after softly humming in agreement, she gestured for Lou Ji to serve tea.

She hadn't planned to bring it up in front of so many people.

Lou Ji prepared quickly, and the exquisitely crafted tea set was clearly old; tracing its origins, this tea set was an antique bestowed upon the Pei family by the emperor.

As newlywed juniors, they must serve tea to their elders one by one and kneel down. Pei Wu, as the future head of the family, only needs to kneel to her mother, while her newlywed husband, Shao Sang, needs to kneel to all the elders. Fortunately, apart from Pei Wu's mother, the only elder here is this elder from the second branch of the family.

"Please have some tea, Mother."

This was the first time Shen Yu'nan had called Pei's mother "mother".

After taking a sip of the tea handed to her by Shen Yu Nan, Pei's mother gave him a red envelope without saying anything more.

After the tea ceremony was finished, Pei's mother asked about what had happened yesterday. "I heard that Shen Yu Nan went to your company yesterday and dealt with that scoundrel Gu Yan Yu for you?"

Pei's mother disliked Gu Yanyu and Shen Yunan, and always appeared indifferent when the two were mentioned.

Pei Wu nodded.

"It's good that the matter is resolved. Don't have anything to do with those two men anymore. Neither of them is easy to deal with. I'll let yesterday's matter go, but if Gu Yanyu drags you and Diana down with him for his own selfish desires, I won't care about the Gu family's reputation. They're just a family that has to depend on others to survive, and they're always doing dirty things."

"..." Pei Wu was silent for a while. "Please rest assured, Mother, I will no longer have any contact with Gu Yanyu. As agreed, he will leave this afternoon."

"Yes. Wu'er, remember this well: it's not scary for a man to be smart, but it's scary when he thinks he's smart but doesn't use it for good. So whether it's Gu Yanyu or that Secretary Shen, you'd better stay away from them."

In Pei's mother's eyes, Gu Yanyu, who is now using Diana and Pei Wu, is the same kind of person as Shen Yunan, who showed off his limited skills in front of the young master of the Zhou family.

"Mother's words are correct."

Shen Yu'nan listened to what Pei's mother was saying with his eyes lowered, blinking slightly.

He could already foresee the difficult situation he would face after regaining his identity as Shen Yu Nan.

In order to accommodate Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan's schedule, the Pei family's breakfast time was delayed. By the time Pei's mother led everyone to finish breakfast, it was already 10 a.m.

The Pei family's main residence still looked like it did on their wedding day, with red double happiness symbols still pasted everywhere. After finishing their meal, Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan didn't linger and prepared to leave.

Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan walked one after the other without speaking. Shen Yu Nan looked up at Pei Wu's back and, being perceptive, noticed that Pei Wu was slightly out of sorts.

When it came to the wedding, Pei Wu tried her best to make sure that she didn't owe Shao Sang anything. Every detail of the wedding, from the custom-made dress to the furniture chosen for the new house, was done by her and Shao Sang together. After the wedding, they even prepared a honeymoon trip for their newlyweds.

Considering Shao Sang's current physical condition, the honeymoon trip was arranged for the fifth day after the wedding. Because of the fatigue from the wedding, Pei Wu made a special trip for Shao Sang to rest.

Shao Sang was the husband that Pei Wu had gone to great lengths to marry, and the intimate moments they shared were still vivid in her memory. Pei Wu remembered how he covered his mouth in pain, and she also remembered the red marks he left on her back.

The man was carrying her child in his abdomen.

Despite all this, the other party didn't seem to mind if she found another man.
