Chapter 313 A man's mind in love is truly hard to fathom.

At the dinner table.

Shang Shiyan had a gloomy face, little interest, and seemed to have no appetite.

"Miss Pei, your soup." Wang Ma put down the bowl and secretly glanced at the man next to her.

Oh.

Mr. Shang's face looked really bad.

Wasn't he happily going around giving people raises this morning?

Did you have a fight with Miss Pei?

But--

Wang Ma tilted her head and glanced at the girl who was happily eating three bowls of rice.

Miss Pei's appetite doesn't seem like that of someone who's arguing.

Sigh.

A man's mind is truly hard to fathom when he's in love.

"Wang Ma, you should rest first," Pei Jinwu said softly, stirring the bone broth.

"Okay."

Wang Ma nodded and left silently.

The restaurant became quiet.

Shang Shiyan then put down his chopsticks, his dark eyes looking at the girl across from him who was eating earnestly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Wuwu, shall we continue?"

"Um?"

Pei Jinwu raised her head, meeting the man's deep eyes, her delicate face showing confusion: "Continue with what?"

It's obvious.

I don't remember what just happened.

"..."

Shang Shiyan was initially quite aggrieved, but then he realized that his Wuwu had never been a girl with "emotional intelligence".

It's not easy to go from being "grandfather" to boyfriend.

It will probably take some time before she understands things about men and women.

I could tell she was hungry, and I couldn't bear to keep her from eating any longer.

"It's alright now."

Shang Shiyan raised his hand, gently patted the little girl's head, and said softly, "Let's eat."

"oh."

Pei Jinwu lowered her head, and as she ate, a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.

A few minutes later.

Seeing the man's really depressed expression, Pei Jinwu took the initiative to put a piece of pork rib on his plate.

"Thank you, Wuwu."

Shang Shiyan's lips curled up, and the gloom on his body vanished instantly.

Pei Jinwu smiled.

This man is actually quite easy to coax.

——

The next day.

Just as Pei Jinwu finished breakfast and was about to leave, Song Mingji arrived again.

"I……"

"You have something to take care of near Imperial University today, so you're giving me a ride on your way?" Pei Jinwu interrupted Song Mingji, saying unhurriedly, "Ah, no, I mean giving me and Jianjian a ride."

"This time, something really has happened."

Having her little scheme exposed, Song Mingji smiled awkwardly and deliberately said, "I also bought desserts, flavors you haven't tried before."

Never tried it before?

"OK."

Pei Jinwu's eyelashes fluttered, and without hesitation, she took the bag from Shang Shiyan's hand, her eyes sparkling: "Let's go quickly."

"..."

Shang Shiyan smiled helplessly. If the other party weren't his brother-in-law...

He seriously doubted that Wuwu would be kidnapped by the food.

"Walk."

Song Mingji immediately took Pei Jinwu's bag and fawned over his sister, "There are so many flavors, including your favorite mango flavor."

"Is that so?"

Pei Jinwu, with her hands in her pockets, listened to her third brother's rambling and deliberately asked, "Do you also have the strawberry flavor that Jianjian likes?"

"..."

Song Mingji smiled and tacitly agreed.

"Seriously?" Pei Jinwu turned her head to look at him.

"Hmm." Song Mingji nodded, his expression extremely serious. "It's just that Jianjian doesn't seem to like me very much."

"How so?"

Pei Jinwu curled her lips and asked casually.

“She used honorifics when she spoke to me.” Song Mingji was quite hurt, and repeated with emphasis: “She used honorifics when she spoke to me, she was very polite.”

"oh."

Pei Jinwu wanted to laugh, but held back for the sake of the dessert, and heartlessly comforted her: "Jianjian is polite, it's normal for her to use honorifics."

"Really?" Song Mingji didn't believe it.

"..."

Pei Jinwu pursed her lips and changed the subject: "Hurry up, I'm going to be late."

"oh."

Song Mingji followed, carrying his schoolbag, unable to reconcile with the "respectful address".

really.

Just as he was feeling down, Wen Jianjian bowed to him at a ninety-degree angle and said respectfully, "Hello, Brother Song."

"puff--"

This was the first time Pei Jinwu had ever seen Wen Jianjian's "politeness," and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"..."

Song Mingji's face darkened even more.

——

Emperor Da.

Wen Jianjian got off the car first, followed by Pei Jinwu.

"I'm getting some for my roommate." Song Mingji knew her roommate took good care of her younger sister, so she bought three extra portions of snacks along with her.

"OK."

Pei Jinwu, carrying a bag full of imported snacks, raised an eyebrow and said, "Thank you, Third Brother."

"Don't be so polite with Third Brother."

Standing outside the car door, Song Mingji couldn't help but tidy his sister's slightly messy hair: "Tell your third brother what you want to eat in the future, and your third brother will buy it for you."

"Um."

A warm current seemed to flow through her body. Pei Jinwu smiled slightly and said softly, "Ask Fourth Sister too, and buy her some as well."

Fourth Sister is at the training ground; she definitely doesn't have time to do these things.

"Fourth Sister?"

Mentioning the name Black Fox sent chills down Song Mingji's spine, his imposing aura instantly weakened, and he timidly said, "Wu, why don't you go ask?"

His fourth sister had a fierce look on her face, and just one glare from her made his legs go weak.

"Tsk."

Pei Jinwu paused for two seconds, then moved her red lips and said, "I'll go ask Fourth Sister."

After the conversation.

Pei Jinwu waved goodbye to Song Mingji as he carried his things.

Neither of them noticed.

In a corner not far away, Shen Yunrou was secretly taking pictures with her phone.

She filmed the entire scene of the two talking and Song Mingji gently stroking Pei Jinwu.

ha.

She finally caught Pei Jinwu's real boyfriend.

It's better to say something than to say it.

This guy is really good-looking; he's tall and handsome.

That's right...

What brand is this car? I've never seen it before. It must be a cheap one.

And this man—

She had spent many years mingling among the elite families of the capital and had met at least a hundred wealthy young men.

With such an aura and appearance, she would definitely attract attention if she came from a wealthy family.

So that's why.

He's not a rich man at all.

Pei Jinwu, that little vixen, is stringing her boyfriend along while also flirting with Shang Shiyan...

She's really capable!

Having these things in hand means we have leverage over Pei Jinwu.

Sooner or later, she will send all this evidence to Shang Shiyan.

At that time...

Shang Shiyan will definitely hate her.

You will naturally have the opportunity to climb the ladder.

Thinking of this, a smug smile bloomed on Shen Yunrou's face.

——

In the classroom.

The results of the World Computer Competition - China Region will be announced soon.

The students in the class were discussing it with great interest.

"Professor Sun is definitely number one, and as for number two... whoever is closest to him is number two."

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, the students exchanged glances, each of them understanding perfectly.

"It's a pity that Professor Tong didn't sign up; otherwise, with his level of expertise, he would have truly deserved first place."

"Come on," another student chimed in. "Even if Professor Tong participates, he won't win an award. Do you believe that?"

"..."

The others remained silent, clearly aware of the underlying motives.

I don't believe it.

Pei Jinwu, who was standing at the door, suddenly joined the discussion and said slowly, "I think Professor Tong can not only win the award, but also win first place."

"???"

Everyone turned to look at her.

Professor Tong got first place?

He didn't participate?

What nonsense is Pei Shen spouting?

Just as everyone was wondering, a student shouted, "The list of winners is out!"

"..."

The students crowded around, and their eyes widened instantly when they saw the result.

——

Good night.
