Shen Yu Nan had walked this road to the president's office countless times, but his mood today was completely different from usual. Ju Heng walked in front, and Shen Yu Nan followed behind him, but the two remained silent the whole way.

Upon arriving at the president's office, one could see Pei Wu sitting in the reception room through the glass in the corridor. Pei Wu had her eyes downcast and was gently touching the tip of her nose with one hand.

Pei Wu was waiting for Shen Yu Nan in the reception room, which was the same place where she had negotiated with Gu Yan Yu last time. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the reception room made the room bright and airy. Pei Wu sat on the sofa with her eyes down, looking like she was in a daze. At this moment, Pei Wu was thinking about what Ju Heng had said after returning from Shen Yu Nan's residence that day.

She never imagined that Shen Yuhuan would say something like wanting to marry into the Pei family.

Pei Wu only belatedly looked up when Ju Heng lightly knocked twice on the door of the reception room.

"President Pei."

"...."

Pei Wu hadn't seen Shen Yu Nan many times. Since he transmigrated into the game as a young lady of the Pei family, she had met this 'male protagonist' a handful of times.

Wearing winter clothes, Shen Yu Nan didn't look as thin and weak as when they met in the summer. This was probably due to the relatively loose winter clothes he was wearing. However, his cheeks were still thin, and there was a touch of pink left on his pale face by the cold wind.

Although Shen Yu Nan's appearance is seven or eight parts similar to Shao Sang's, Shen Yu Nan's eyes are more upturned at the corners, and even if his face is expressionless, his eyes have a natural charm.

"You go ahead and get busy."

"Yes." Ju Heng prepared to leave after receiving the order. Even after Ju Heng left, Shen Yu Nan remained standing still for a long time. His gaze was fixed on Pei Wu. Perhaps his gaze was too intense, because Pei Wu felt quite uncomfortable under his gaze. She was the first to look away and said, "Sit." She gestured for Shen Yu Nan to sit down on the sofa opposite her.

Pei Wu wore a faint smile, her tone official and polite, her demeanor and manner still as if she were negotiating with a client.

Having not heard Pei Wu's voice for a long time, Shen Yu Nan felt as if he had been through another world. Knowing Pei Wu quite well, he saw through her intention to negotiate with him at a glance, just like when she negotiated with Gu Yan Yu.

Shen Yu'nan did not immediately sit down on the sofa opposite Pei Wu. Instead, he looked around and asked Pei Wu, "Where is Pei Nian?"

"Don't worry, I just arranged for him to wait in the next room for a moment. After all, there are some things that a child his age cannot accept."

“...”

At this moment, Shen Yu Nan, who had been standing, finally sat down on the sofa opposite Pei Wu.

"Cough cough..." His voice sounded muffled.

Although Shen Yu'nan tried his best to suppress the urge to cough, he still couldn't succeed. Perhaps because he had come too quickly and was hit by the wind, his cough, which had already improved somewhat, became more severe. His brows, which were slightly furrowed from coughing, added to his sickly appearance, and he looked at Pei Wu with slightly reddened eyes.

"So, you've thought it through... cough cough... how you want to deal with me?"

Pei Wu remained silent for a few seconds after hearing Shen Yu Nan's words. She felt that Shen Yu Nan in front of her was very strange. Given his dislike for the Pei family's young lady, he would never allow her to leave her fate to be decided by her. It was clearly a hostile relationship where they couldn't wait to escape.

“I’ve told you this before.” Pei Wu leaned back on the sofa. “I am not the original Pei Wu. I don’t want to get involved in your entanglements with the original. My thoughts remain the same as Ju Heng’s: if you think the child is a burden, then hand the child over to me. The Pei family will not mistreat him. If you can’t bear to part with the child, I will not force you. The child will still be your child, and I will give you some money to ensure your future life. I only have one request for you.”

She used the word 'request'. Although she didn't want to get involved in the mess left by the original owner, she still felt guilty towards Shen Yu'nan and Pei Nian.

Pei Wu paused for a moment before continuing, "I just hope you can move to another city. You know, I'm married now, and I need to consider my husband's feelings and reputation."

"..." Shen Yu Nan listened to Pei Wu's words in silence, but he unconsciously raised his chin slightly. His hand, which was resting on his knee, tapped lightly until Pei Wu finished speaking. Then, his tapping fingertips suddenly stopped. He instinctively tried to turn the ring on his finger, but missed. He tried his best to maintain his composure, but when Pei Wu mentioned 'husband's thoughts and face', he unconsciously tangled his fingertips together.

"..." Seeing that Shen Yunan was silent, Pei Wu was paying close attention to his every move, and naturally, his little actions also caught her eye.

She frowned slightly as she noticed the other person's subtle movements.

Shen Yu Nan's intertwined fingertips curled slightly before he looked up at Pei Wu again. "Miss Pei, are you trying to get rid of me? I didn't expect you to be such a coward who wants to shirk responsibility."

"The one with whom you have an emotional entanglement is the original owner, and I have already said that I do not want to get involved in the entanglement between you and the original owner."

"you..."

'asshole! '

Shen Yu Nan's chest ached from Pei Wu's words, and he coughed twice more. His gaze towards Pei Wu was like that of sharp knives.

Shen Yu'nan's eyes were visibly red.

"you..."

Pei Wu, who had first noticed Shen Yu Nan's subtle movements, was suddenly flustered when she saw him viciously stab her. Fragments of her past interactions with Shao Sang flashed through her mind.

Although Shen Yu Nan felt a pang of sadness, he had to seize the opportunity to meet Pei Wu. If he missed this chance today, it would be difficult to meet her again in the future.

Shen Yu'nan rolled his delicate Adam's apple, his eyes slightly red, and asked Pei Wu again, "I wonder if you, as a partner of 'Bei Shang,' are also so ruthless when handling matters?"

Shen Yu'nan was almost putting all his eggs in one basket.

He couldn't reveal that he had once possessed the robot Shao Sang, but the person who married Pei Wu, spent time with her, and conceived a child with her was Shen Yu Nan. His memories of Pei Wu were not fake; they were all real events.

From Pei Wu's perspective, Shen Yu Nan only knows that the current Pei Wu is not the original owner of this body, and the only people who know that she is a partner of 'Bei Shang' besides his good friend Wei Guangmo are Shao Sang. Both of them are people who would not betray him.

So how could Shen Yu Nan, who is standing right in front of him, know this?

"Didn't we agree that the boy would be named Pei Nian and the girl would be named Pei Nian? Don't you understand what I mean? Isn't A-Wu usually very smart?"

The fact that the boy's name was Pei Nian and the girl's name was something Pei Wu and Shao Sang said to each other in bed at night, and they never mentioned it to anyone else.

"...You...what exactly..."

Shen Yu Nan's words were astonishing, leaving Pei Wu speechless for a moment.
