Chapter 45: The Forty-fifth Day of Reservedness I will fully respect you, and also...
Pei Yunhe had never seen Shan Yin so excited, with a gleam in his eyes.
She is indifferent most of the time. She talks to people indifferently, eats and works indifferently, and even writes and paints indifferently.
Even when I was doing that with him, I felt indifferent until I was aroused.
He had to provoke her to the point of losing her mind before she could become a little confused and infatuated.
But now, when talking about taking exams and going to school, Shan Yin's eyes lit up.
The light is soft yet firm, more exciting than the moonlight, yet it also allows people to see the endless expectations and yearnings behind it.
Pei Yunhe's heart twitched for a moment.
He knew that Shan Yin was really considering this matter seriously and liked it very much.
He didn't know whether to be glad or not.
Shan Yin told him such an important matter seriously and even asked for his opinion.
But what he wanted to say the last second was to ask Shan Yin if she wanted a child, a child with him...
Although having children is a choice that most couples would have, under the influence of hormones, a mother's love and care for her children is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But it must be said that after having a child, the mother is always the one who is tied up, and the love and care she pours into the child is unmatched.
Pei Yunhe was stunned.
He wanted so much to have a child with Shan Yin, to have a bond that would tie them together tightly.
But he didn't want to tie up Shan Yin.
Shan Yin still had his eyes open, with stars flowing in his eyes, and a vast prospect in sight.
"What do you think?"
She was also nervous.
She did not achieve much in her studies. After graduating from college and before getting married, she stayed at home for a long time.
After she had the idea of learning management, she would often look at the business management cases of large enterprises in the market. Sometimes she would secretly learn some of Pei Yunhe's management style, and even think about his work schedule and so on.
But she always felt a little inferior, which was not her strong point. She always felt that if she talked about this with Pei Yunhe, she would be afraid of being laughed at by him.
In the past two days, Pei Yunhe tried various ways to make her happy. She was happy, but she didn't want to indulge in it, so she finally made up her mind.
Pei Yunhe was more experienced than her in these areas, so she humbly asked for advice.
It's a joke, but it's better than being confined to this garden all your life, pursuing pleasure without making any effort to make progress.
She looked at Pei Yunhe carefully, trying to find some mocking smile in his expression so that she could be fully prepared and make her statement and insist on her point.
But Pei Yunhe did not show any disrespect at all.
On the contrary, his expression became more serious.
Shan Yin was startled for a moment, then asked, "Is it inappropriate? I know I'm old, and my undergraduate degree wasn't in management, but..."
"I think it's fine. It's great. I support you."
Pei Yunhe suddenly spoke up, interrupting Shan Yin's anxious explanation.
She raised her eyes tremblingly and met Pei Yunhe's gentle and tolerant eyes.
There seemed to be a glow flowing in those eyes, which gave her endless strength in their gentleness and tolerance.
"Studying is a good thing. It has nothing to do with age. You can keep learning as long as you live. Even at the age of 80, you should learn with humility. What's more, you are at the most down-to-earth and shining age in your life." Pei Yunhe said.
"I thought you would laugh at me..."
Laugh at her for overestimating her own abilities.
But Pei Yunhe reached out and flicked her forehead lightly, "What are you thinking about?"
Shan Yin let out a cry, and Pei Yunhe gently rubbed her forehead with the palm of his hand.
His palms are always warm, giving people a sense of security and peace of mind.
Pei Yunhe added, "Not to mention that you are studious yourself, you have been around grandpa for so many years and have some basic knowledge."
He raised his eyebrows and stared at her as if lecturing her: "Just say you are my Pei Yunhe's wife, no matter what, it can't be too bad, right? What's the matter, Shan Yin, do you want to destroy my reputation or what?"
Shan Yin burst out laughing.
She knew that Pei Yunhe's last sentence was an exaggeration to tease her, and he definitely didn't mean to treat her as an accessory.
So I am even more grateful for Pei Yunhe's comfort and support.
"If you say so, I feel relieved."
"That's how it should be."
After telling this story, Shan Yin felt much more relaxed.
She remembered that Pei Yunhe seemed to want to say something just now, so she turned around and asked him, "You just said that our family is not incapable of anything?"
Pei Yunhe stared into Shan Yin's eyes and changed his words: "It's not that I can't treat you like a child."
Shan Yin blushed at his sudden compliments and hid her smile, "Nonsense."
But Pei Yunhe knew that he was as serious as he could be at this moment.
He reached out and held Shan Yin in his arms, tightening his arms, feeling Shan Yin's sincere joy with his heart, and became more determined.
"You can do whatever you want without worrying about me or the Pei family. I will respect you completely and support you to the best of my ability."
She should have lived freely and chased her own world like a butterfly.
Women should also not be burdened with the traditional concept that the only orthodox thing is to take care of the husband and children and sacrifice themselves for others.
If Shan Yin didn't want to have children at this time and wanted to pursue her studies and career, he would definitely not force her to have children.
Even if Shan Yin doesn't want to have children in her life, he will take care of the family, so she doesn't have to worry at all.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Shan Yin raised her head from his arms, as if she felt his words were too serious.
But Pei Yunhe just treated it as normal.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Since you want to take the exam, it's just right. I know a professor of management at Nanqiao University. I'll take you to visit him tomorrow and learn about the current exam situation."
He is not a person who only writes blank checks. Since he said that he would support Shan Yin, it would only be real if he put it into practice.
Shan Yin was very happy. She was organizing some materials recently.
I just calculated the days for tomorrow and asked, "Aren't we going to Songlingju to have dinner with Mom and Dad?"
"It won't be too late to go in the afternoon."
The next day, the two went to Songlingju for a small gathering as planned. Pei Yunmiao had taken a few days off after busying herself with the recent movie promotions, so she went back with her husband Zhou Yan.
Xi Minxia was very happy. It was rare for a small gathering at home to be so complete. She and the aunt who lived there prepared a large table of dishes.
"It's more lively when there are more people around. Usually it's just me and your dad at home, and he's never home. All I do all day is watch TV or eat and sleep. It's so boring."
Xi Minxia took Shan Yin's hand and pulled her to sit next to her. Pei Yunhe wanted to sit next to Shan Yin, while Pei Yunmiao and Zhou Yan sat across the table.
"Can't you go out and dance or play mahjong? It's not that boring." Pei Kelang also took a seat.
Pei Yunmiao joked: "It's not boring at all, Mom is just annoyed that you don't accompany her."
Xi Minxia and Pei Kelang glared at her: "How old are you? And you're still making fun of your parents?"
Pei Yunmiao had no choice but to stick out her tongue and keep silent, then retreated to Zhou Yan's side.
But Shan Yin still took Xi Minxia's words to heart. She picked up some food for Xi Minxia and said, "We are not filial enough. We should come visit more often and spend time with our parents."
Xi Minxia's heart was filled with joy when she heard this, and she praised him non-stop, "Look, none of them are as well-behaved as Yinyin!"
She also added more food to Shan Yin, "You should eat more. You've been in Nanqiao for almost two months, right? You're still so skinny and haven't gained any weight at all."
Then he turned to Pei Yunhe on the other end: "Ahe, what's wrong with you? You can't neglect Yinyin even if you're busy with work. She didn't marry into your family to suffer with you. Have you taken good care of Yinyin?"
Pei Yunhe hadn't even put a bite of food into his mouth when he heard Xi Minxia's words. He frowned and turned around to pass the food to the lace arabesque plate in front of Shan Yin.
"Don't accuse your son of this with empty words. I cook for him every meal at home. Don't I want him to gain a few pounds of weight?"
Xi Minxia glared at him. "I even boasted to Yinyin about how gentle and kind you were. How come you've become so sharp-tongued after getting married? And you still told me you'd take care of Yinyin?"
Zhou Yan chuckled softly, "Mom, you're really wronging Ah He."
"how?"
Although her son-in-law looks cold, he is actually very gentle. Xi Minxia finds it hard to listen to him talking about family matters at the dinner table. She sees him smiling while removing fish bones from Pei Yunmiao.
Zhou Yan glanced at Pei Yunhe, who was threatening him with his eyes to be careful with his words. Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing.
"Ahe has always been a workaholic, but after getting married, anyone who goes to Xiaohan and asks around will know that this workaholic boss has changed his ways and is always thinking about his wife. The employees at Shengxi are all talking about it."
Shengxi is the Zhou family’s group, and the two buildings are located not far from each other.
"Really?"
When Zhou Yan said this, Pei Yunmiao was already laughing faintly at the dinner table, and Xi Minxia looked at Pei Kelang doubtfully.
Pei Kelang still often goes to Xiaohan.
He picked up the napkin, wiped the corner of his lips, and nodded.
Xi Minxia immediately smiled happily.
"That's great! I told you, Ah He, don't be like your father, who only works all day and has to take care of the family too! Only then will your employees feel that you are humane and everyone will be willing to work for the company!"
Pei Yunhe glared at Zhou Yan secretly, then responded to Xi Minxia's words: "Yes. You've even raised this to the level of business management. Really."
"What's wrong with that? Am I wrong?"
"Yes, yes, you are the eldest in the family. You are right. If you are happy, then the whole family will be happy."
It seems that everyone is happy, and he is the only one who feels embarrassed.
But joking aside, Pei Yunhe would not really be angry with his family. He would not mind if they kept saying good things about him and Shan Yin.
But when Shan Yin saw that everyone was talking about Pei Yunhe, he was really worried that Pei Yunhe would lose face and be unhappy.
She hurriedly took Xi Minxia's arm and spoke well of Pei Yunhe.
"Mom, thank you for your concern. He really treats me very well. Every day after he comes home from work, he takes care of me at home. He is so considerate."
"I can only blame my natural constitution. No matter how much I eat, I can't absorb it. I'm sorry to have caused you to worry."
She spoke softly and gently, taking both sides into consideration, sincerely and tactfully.
No matter how bad the temper is, she will smooth it out.
Xi Minxia would never say anything bad about Shan Yin again. Hearing her speak well of Pei Yunhe, she was happy that the young couple lived in harmony.
But he still didn't forget to give some advice to his own son.
"Yinyin is sensible, so you should cherish her even more. What are you still standing there for? Xiao Zhou Huihui is peeling shrimps and removing fish bones for Miaomiao, and what about you? Just watching? Don't even mention adding more dishes!"
Zhou Yan and Pei Yunmiao, who were called, smiled silently. Pei Yunhe stood up with his eyes half closed and served soup to Shan Yin.
A bowl of thick and nourishing braised abalone and shark's fin was handed to Shan Yin. The broth was steaming with a salty and fragrant aroma, making people salivate.
Shan Yinyi pursed her lips and smiled to thank him, and also scooped him a bowl.
"You're usually busy, so eat more. It's rare to have some extra food."
Pei Yunhe picked up the bowl and smiled with a smug look on his face.
He put down his chopsticks and picked up the spoon, and tapped it twice at Zhou Yan and Pei Yunmiao, looking very proud, as if saying, "What's the use of just adding more food for your wife, when your wife doesn't add more food for you."
But before the braised abalone and shark's fin entered his stomach, Pei Yunhe suddenly saw an anxious look in the eyes of Pei Yunmiao opposite him.
He was just thinking about not getting so anxious after being shown off, but suddenly he heard Dan Yin retching uncomfortably.
