Chapter 37 He Runs, He Chases

The car drove into the Lishui Bay villa area and stopped in front of a single-family villa with a simple and elegant design.

Pei Heng was awakened by Shen Shi's gentle kiss. He turned his head and pressed his hand against his brow, and saw that Shen Shi's long eyelashes were drooping and his eyes were smiling.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Pei Heng asked, his slender fingertips running through Shen Shi's soft hair and touching it.

Shen Shi kissed his chin again, "I'm sleepy."

Pei Heng yawned and turned to see the scene outside the car window.

At the door of the villa, a man wearing a neat black tuxedo and white gloves stood in front.

Behind the man in the tuxedo, two rows of people stood neatly. The left row was wearing chef uniforms, and the right row was the nanny and young servants in the same neat uniforms.

Shen Shi's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the tuxedoed butler, and had a guess in his mind.

He leaned close to Pei Heng's ear and said with a smile that seemed to indicate he was enjoying the show, "It seems... Zhou Jingming's position as the chief eunuch of the palace will be revoked."

Pei Heng had just woken up and was still a little confused. "Huh? Why?"

Shen Shi lowered his chin and nodded out the window, "...the real steward is here."

Ling Yue, who had good eyesight, was the first to notice it and felt both moved and relieved.

He no longer had to endure the strange looks from the pharmacist while buying ointment for His Highness and the Master!

As soon as Shen Shi finished speaking, the car door was opened by the driver from the outside.

Pei Heng had just stepped out of the car.

"Welcome home, Master!"

The butler in a tuxedo bowed first, his voice loud and clear.

Behind him, two rows of people bowed in unison, "Welcome home, young master!"

Pei Heng: “…”

His foot, which was hanging in the air, almost lost its footing, and he was completely awakened by the fright.

Shen Shi suppressed his laughter and quickly got out of the car. He stood beside Pei Heng and helped him up without making a sound.

The butler in tuxedo looked up and saw Shen Shi behind Pei Heng. He was so excited that two more wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

The Crown Princess is here too!

"Welcome home, young lady!" He bowed again.

The servants behind them reacted quickly and immediately followed in unison, "Welcome home, Madam!"

Shen Shi: “…”

He looked at the elegant man in front of him, Wen Desheng, who had completely lost the feminine air of his previous life and instead exuded a refined and capable air, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

The driver, Lao Wang, drove away quickly after opening the door, away from the scene of the palace drama.

Ling Yue quietly found a shady corner and blended perfectly into the lawn.

Pei Heng looked back and saw that there was no one behind him.

Only he and Shen Shi were left to face the royal guard.

Wendsheng stepped forward excitedly.

"Your Highness, Master!" His voice trembled, his eyes seemed to be a little moist, he raised his index finger, and almost covered his face with his hands and cried.

"...I am finally able to see you two again!"

Pei Heng looked at the stern and elegant man in front of him using such dramatic tone and movements. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he blurted out, "...Eunuch?"

Wen Desheng was shocked all over, surprised and happy, and almost burst into tears on the spot.

"Your Highness! You... you still remember this old slave?!"

Pei Heng touched his nose and said honestly, "That's not the case. It's mainly because it's difficult to guess."

Really, what a typical father-in-law.

Shen Shi explained softly, "Eunuch Wen, His Highness has no memory of his past life now."

Wendsheng immediately let out a sigh, instantly suppressing his overly excited emotions and returning to the demeanor of an elegant butler, with the eagerness in his eyes not diminished at all.

He led the two of them into the villa, and after they entered, he served them hot tea that had been prepared long ago.

"Yes, I have heard of it, my Lord, Your Highness, please have some tea."

"Old slave... Old slave has finally waited for this day!" The tone, no longer feminine, was full of twists and turns.

As Wendsheng cried and complained, a melodious and mournful sad music sounded faintly from somewhere.

Pei Heng looked around blankly, "Where did the background music come from?"

Ling Yue took out a palm-sized portable Bluetooth speaker from behind Wendsheng and silently turned on the switch.

The melodious zither sound came to an abrupt end.

Pei Heng: “…”

He looked at Windseng in amazement.

Wen Desheng wiped the corners of his eyes with his white gloves, feeling a little embarrassed. "This scene needs some music to complement it..."

Chen Shi changed the subject at the right time and asked when Wen Desheng recovered his memory.

Wen Desheng immediately straightened his expression and replied respectfully, "My Lord, it has been more than a year."

"I transferred from my previous employer to work at the Pei family mansion, hoping... that I might have the chance to see His Highness again."

It's good to be able to serve the emperor, but he is not your master after all. Now, when Wen Desheng looks at Pei Heng, he likes and misses him.

After Wen Desheng finished speaking, he saw that Pei Heng looked tired, so he quickly took the teacup and said considerately, "Master, you look tired. The master bedroom upstairs has been cleaned and filled with your favorite incense. Go and rest for a while."

Pei Heng stood up and said to Wen Desheng, "Arrange a room for Ling Yue as well."

After saying that, he pulled Shen Shi and prepared to go upstairs.

Wen Desheng looked at the backs of the two people walking side by side, and laughed with his hands covering his mouth.

The voice drifted into Pei Heng's ears, accompanied by a sigh.

"That's wonderful... His Highness and the Master are still inseparable, one chasing the other."

Pei Heng paused, turned his head doubtfully, and asked Shen Shi beside him.

"Who's running away and who's chasing?"

Shen Shi's fingertips curled slightly, and he explained calmly, "Eunuch Wen... usually likes to read some storybooks. He must have been fascinated by them."

When Wen Desheng heard this, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Young Madam, I am keeping up with the times and no longer read storybooks! I prefer to read online novels."

"What's this about chasing a husband to the crematorium, reconciling, running away with the ball... I know it all."

Shen Shi: “…”

I suspect Eunuch Wen is up to something, but I have no evidence.

He felt his temples begin to beat again.

Seeing Pei Heng going upstairs, Ling Yue quietly approached Wendesheng and put his mobile phone screen in front of Wendesheng with an expressionless face.

"Join the group?"

On the screen was a WeChat group chat interface, and it read: [Your Highness, did you think of us today?].

Wendsheng's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found the organization, and a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.

He immediately took out his cell phone and unlocked the screen. What caught his eye was a screen full of colorful novel icons.

"Add!" Wen Desheng said without hesitation.

Ling Yue skillfully pulled Wendsheng into the group.

Wen Desheng: [This old servant greets all the lords. The emperor is well in the old house! ]
