In Pei Wu's original memories, there was indeed a man named Qiao Yi. Pei Wu only remembered that this man ran several good restaurants, and they had some private acquaintance, having eaten together and drunk together a few times.

"Please convey my thanks to your General Manager Qiao."

"yes."

Just as Pei Wu was talking to the waiter, Shen Yu Nan walked to the table. Hearing what the waiter said, he also looked up at Qiao Yi, who was leaning over the glass railing.

As their eyes met, Qiao Yi's smile widened. He nodded slightly to Shen Yu Nan and then turned to leave.

Shen Yu'nan, who had once served as his secretary, naturally knew this President Qiao, but had only met him a couple of times. This time, he only remembered this person after Pei Wu mentioned the words "President Qiao".

Once, when Shen Yu Nan, as the secretary, went to pick someone up after a cocktail party, and another time, it was at the hotel entrance in the early morning. (Ahem... don't overthink it...) This time, Shen Yu Nan, as the secretary, was also there to pick someone up. Both times, Shen Yu Nan saw Pei Wu and Qiao Yi come out together, and after seeing Pei Wu off, he also saw her off twice.

Both times, Qiao Yi appeared drunk and remained silent the entire way. Since it was nighttime, Shen Yunan couldn't even get a clear look at his face.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan unconsciously raised his eyebrows slightly.

When Jiang Yue's father heard the waiter address Pei Wu as "President Pei," and glanced at the expensive bottle of red wine on the table, he recalled that when he asked Shen Yunan about his wife working at Diana, he asked...

"Last time I heard from Niannian's father that Niannian's mother worked at Diana, but I don't know what kind of work Niannian's mother does at Diana."

When Jiang Yue's father mentioned this, Pei Wu remembered that Jiang Yue's mother had introduced herself as a senior executive in a foreign company, responsible for financial work. Pei Wu glanced at Chen Yunan and smiled lightly, "It's a leisurely job."

Pei Wu understood why Shen Yu Nan hadn't explicitly stated it; it was probably because of Pei Nian's situation in kindergarten.

Although the families of the children in this kindergarten are all well-off, compared to Diana, their families only have an annual income of tens of millions, which is still incomparable to Diana's.

Pei Wu understood that people from similar backgrounds could coexist peacefully, but those with vastly different backgrounds were not a good thing. If their backgrounds were too poor, they would be looked down upon; if their backgrounds were too good, people would be hesitant to approach them. Alternatively, they might flatter others and not make any true friends.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to reveal more, Jiang's parents did not press the matter further.

The two children were happily eating and drinking, oblivious to the adults' conversation, helping each other with food and drinks.

After the meal, the two families went back to the hotel together. Fortunately, the location was not far, and they walked back to the hotel in about ten minutes. In the hotel lobby, they ran into several classmates who had also gone out to eat. The children played around in the children's area of ​​the lobby for a while, while the parents had some drinks in the lobby.

After returning home that day, Jiang Yue's father added Shen Yunan to the parents' group. This group was created by a parent and was not the same as the kindergarten's class group.

Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan simply stood against the wall. Shen Yu Nan watched Pei Nian playing happily with his classmates in silence. He had never had a childhood like this, playing with his classmates. His childhood was all about pleasing his parents and trying to get some of their attention.

However, after becoming a father himself, Shen Yu Nan deeply realized that parents who truly love their children do not need their children to please them. Their gaze is always on their children from the bottom of their hearts. Just like now in public, he is worried about his child's safety and his eyes do not leave his child for even a moment.

His parents didn't love him; in fact, they treated him as a cash cow for their sister.

Seeing Shen Yunan lost in thought, Pei Wu reached out and took his hand.

The warmth from his palm brought Shen Yu Nan back to his senses, and he glanced at Pei Wu and said, "I miss you."

"We'll video chat when we get back." Pei Wu paused for a moment before saying, "I'm going back Sunday morning."

"Um."

"People are interconnected; there's no need to torment yourself because of others, nor is there any need to overthink things."

“…” Shen Yu Nan looked at Pei Wu without saying a word.

"It's getting late, and we have to get up early tomorrow. Let's stop playing and go home."

It's unclear which parent called out, but everyone gradually dispersed and then took the elevator back to their rooms.

“Niannian, let’s go.” Pei Wu called out to Pei Nian.

"good."

Pei Nian responded and jogged over. The hotel was very warm, and there was a light layer of sweat on Pei Nian's forehead.

Pei Wu watched Pei Nian jog over and said something to Shen Yu Nan.

"There is nothing more important than living your own life well. There is no need to make things difficult for yourself because of unnecessary people and unnecessary things."

"....."

Shen Yunan was slightly stunned as he listened to Pei Wu, and then watched as she took Pei Nian's hand and then turned around and took his hand.

Shen Yu Nan felt a warmth in his heart.
