His head was bowed respectfully, but his trembling eyelids kept involuntarily glancing in Pei Wu's direction.

Li Jian saw that Pei Wu's long hair had slipped off her shoulders as she changed her shoes, and even the tips of her ears had turned red. Her eyelids trembled even more violently, and her intertwined hands made her look even more helpless.

Pei Wu changed her shoes but saw Li Jian still standing beside her, so she said, "Go ahead and do your work."

"yes."

Pei Wu seemed to recall what Shen Yu Nan had said to her at noon, and continued, "Starting tomorrow, you only need to be responsible for Mr. Shen's three meals a day. As for the rest of the time, it's all your own. You don't need to waste your time on me."

"..." Upon hearing Pei Wu's words, Li Jian almost subconsciously glanced at her, but quickly realized his behavior was inappropriate and hurriedly lowered his eyes. "What did I do wrong?" Li Jian's mind raced. He was Pei Wu's handpicked person, and today was his first day working at her home. The only person he had interacted with was Miss Pei's 'husband,' who had made a special trip to the company at noon today...

The thought that the gentleman and lady had said something almost immediately popped into his mind.

"I can revise any work that you're not satisfied with, sir."

Li Jian's heart tightened.

'Could it be that this gentleman could see right through my little scheme?'

"No, just do as I say."

Li Jian almost opened his mouth, but seeing Pei Wu's attitude, he could only obediently reply, "Yes."

Pei Wu glanced in the direction of Shen Yu Nan's room, stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, but no one answered.

The door to the room was ajar, but Pei Wu's knocking made the crack widen.

Shen Yu Nan didn't know how he fell asleep on the table. There was a crumpled note next to him that Bai Ni had put in Pei Wu's new clothes pocket.

Pei Wu glanced at it casually and saw the words "President Pei". She then frowned slightly and picked up the note to read it, but her brows furrowed even more.

Even though Pei Wu was rather oblivious when it came to relationships between men and women, she could still understand this kind of ambiguous meaning.

Shen Yu Nan seemed to sense the noise in the room, and it took him a while to slowly wake up.

Shen Yu Nan slowly opened his eyes, still a little dazed. He opened and closed them several times, but in just a few seconds, he suddenly opened them and sat up straight. The blanket draped over him slipped off, and in his dazed state, he subconsciously reached out to catch it.

"woke up."

Shen Yunan responded and went to look, only to see Pei Wu sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

"Miss is back early today."

Having regained his senses recently, Shen Yu Nan's thoughts returned to what his mother had said to him that afternoon. He had originally intended to think of a suitable solution, but somehow he fell asleep.

He noticed the note in Pei Wu's hand, then lowered his eyes, looking docile.

"This is?"

"This fell out of the paper bag when I was helping Miss organize the new clothes she brought back from the store today." The prepared excuse slowly came out of Shen Yu'nan's lips.

"..." Pei Wu looked at the crumpled note in her hand and knew that the other person must have been holding it and looking at it repeatedly for a long time.

It was this kind of obedient and respectful man, who didn't care about anything, that made Pei Wu's feelings of guilt even stronger.

Not only that, the man was also pregnant with her child.

After a long silence between them, Pei Wu finally spoke, her mind racing. "I...I'm not familiar with him." After all, the man in front of her was her soon-to-be husband, and an explanation was necessary. "I'll find another shop tomorrow," Pei Wu said, crumpling the note in her hand and throwing it into the trash can. "Don't overthink it. This time, I didn't consider things thoroughly enough. As for my clothes from now on, you can take care of them. Find a designer you like."

“…” Shen Yu Nan glanced at the crumpled paper in the trash can. Although he didn’t say anything, he felt a warmth in his heart.

"Miss, sir, dinner is ready."

Today is Li Jian's first day here, but after a day of cleaning, he discovered that Miss Pei and the so-called gentleman do not live in the same room. The upstairs room of the young lady only has things that women usually use, while the gentleman obviously lives in the room at the end of the corridor downstairs.

Li Jian's words broke the awkward atmosphere between Pei Wu and Chen Yu Nan.

"Let's eat first."

"yes."

Li Jian even took a cooking exam to make a living, so he's quite good at it.

When the last soup was served, Shen Yunan subconsciously reached out and tugged at her earlobe. Looking at the other person's slightly flushed face and smiling expression, Shen Yunan couldn't help but detect a hint of... shyness.

"Miss, be careful, it's hot."

After removing his hand from her ear, he served Pei Wu the soup.

Shen Yu'nan's gaze fell on Li Jian, noticing that although the other's eyelids were seemingly lowered respectfully, they were trembling violently, and he kept stealing glances at Pei Wu. As clever as Shen Yu'nan was, he almost immediately understood Li Jian's little scheme.

Pei Wu pushed the soup that Li Jian handed over in front of Shen Yu Nan, only to see the other party sigh deeply. At this moment, Shen Yu Nan was thinking about how to deal with Li Jian.

"What's wrong?"

"..." Shen Yu Nan smiled and shook his head when he saw Pei Wu talking to him.

Seeing Pei Wu's actions, Li Jian belatedly realized that his behavior was too obvious, so he tried to make amends by saying, "I'm just skimming off the oil on the surface for you, sir."

"That's fine, it's alright." Shen Yu'nan was quite displeased, so his tone wasn't very pleasant, but he still had a smile on his face. "It's getting late, you should go back now."

"I think I'll wait until Miss and Sir have finished their meal, then I'll clean up and leave," Li Jian smiled. "People of Miss and Sir's status certainly wouldn't do such menial work."

"..." Shen Yu Nan gave up when he realized that his words were not going to work.

Pei Wu glanced at Shen Yu Nan, who was in a bad mood, and looked like a little white rabbit that had been defeated.

She almost laughed before opening her mouth to say to Li Jian, "Just do whatever the master says. Tomorrow, just do as I say, prepare three meals and bring them to the master. He doesn't like outsiders in the house. I was wrong before."

Seeing Pei Wu say this, Li Jian could only reply with a "Yes." He just hadn't expected that the taciturn Miss Pei would be so caring.

"..." Shen Yu'nan remained silent, only glancing at Pei Wu sitting opposite him. From childhood to adulthood, it seemed no one but Pei Wu had ever shown him such kindness. It was truly unexpected that this seemingly cold and aloof woman could be so gentle...

'But even though she's gentle with me, she doesn't love me. Her kindness is only because of the child in my womb.'
