Wang Zhouheng's eyebrows and eyes inherited the ancient charm of hers, while adding a touch of tenderness.

Just by standing here, he exudes a simple yet refined and gentle elegance.

If he weren't wearing a shirt, he would look like a handsome man from a book, dressed in ancient style.

He's handsome and not aggressive at all; it's a shame he doesn't go into acting.

Seeing Mingyao staring at her intently, Madam Wang's eyes curved into crescent shapes. "How is it? Do you like it?"

"Don't let my brother's good looks fool you, he's a complete novice when it comes to relationships, so you can rest assured."

"Sister, please say less." Wang Zhouheng's fair face flushed slightly as he glared at Madam Wang with displeasure. "You've scared her."

Wang Zhouheng's voice is softer and more delicate than other men's, which is quite cute.

Unfortunately, she was already married.

Madam Wang pouted angrily, "And..."

"Miss Su is beautiful and kind, seize this opportunity!"

As she spoke, Madam Wang pinched his arm in exasperation at his lack of self-control.

Wang Zhouheng almost cried out, "Sister, okay, okay, she's still watching."

Taking advantage of Madam Wang's distraction, he pulled his arm away and looked at Mingyao apologetically, "Miss Su, please don't mind, my sister is just like that."

Mingyao snapped out of her thoughts, pursed her lips, and smiled, "It's nothing."

"Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I'm already married."

Madam Wang was clearly taken aback. "Huh?"

The news came suddenly, and she couldn't accept it. "Miss Su, you look like you're only in your early twenties, how come you're already married?"

"I haven't heard Lao Wang mention it either..."

Mingyao blinked, somewhat puzzled.

When she first met Madam Wang, Madam Wang mistakenly believed the recording, which led to her beating her.

Having listened to the recording, how could I not know she was already married?

Mrs. Wang asked, still somewhat unsure, "Are you really married?"

"Hmm." Seeing Madam Wang's thunderstruck expression, Mingyao chuckled.

It seems that Madam Wang truly likes me.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Wang."

Madam Wang sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, but I insisted on introducing it to you."

She repeatedly expressed her apologies, but Mingyao didn't think it was a big deal.

Wang Zhouheng's face also showed some embarrassment.

He was busy at the hospital, and only after hearing that Wang Xingchen had returned did he manage to spare half a day to come over.

Who knew that Madam Wang would be so eager to introduce him to someone, only to find out that the other person was already married? How embarrassing!

"Miss Su, I'm so sorry."

Wang Zhouheng said embarrassedly, "My sister is very single-minded in her speech and actions."

"I can tell."

Madam Wang is straightforward and speaks and acts without thinking. Although she may offend people easily, she is also easy to get along with.

Mingyao really liked this kind of personality.

Getting to know Madam Wang was an unexpected bonus today.

Suddenly, a tiny hand appeared in my hand.

Mingyao lowered her head and saw Wang Xingchen holding her hand. "Sister Su, remember to come see me."

She leaned down and affectionately pinched Wang Xingchen's chubby cheek, "Okay, I'll definitely remember to come see you."

At that moment, the special assistant drove up.

Mingyao bid farewell to Madam Wang and Wang Zhouheng again, and then got into the car.

Only three hours have passed since she arrived at the Wang Group.

Mingyao leaned back in her chair, her exhaustion overwhelming her like a raging flood, swallowing her whole in the blink of an eye.

Mingyao lay in bed for a whole day at the Pei family mansion, and it wasn't until the next morning that she finally got out of bed.

Mr. Wang's matter was resolved a day ahead of schedule, and since he had nothing to do at home, he planned to go to work after breakfast.

"Master Pei?"

Mingyao came to the living room and was pleasantly surprised to see Pei Siyu.

It had been a long time since she had sat down for breakfast with Pei Siyu.

Pei Siyu raised his eyelids and glanced at her. "Good morning."

Mingyao was stunned for a moment, repeatedly savoring the man's word "early" in her mind.

He actually took the initiative to greet me!

The strategy proved highly effective, and Mingyao saw a glimmer of hope.

"Good morning." She sat down opposite Pei Siyu with a smile and tore off a piece of toast.

She was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking out of her back, and she ate rather roughly.

Only after belatedly noticing Pei Siyu did Mingyao clear her throat and resume her usual reserved and refined demeanor.

"Miss Su, you must eat well today." Aunt Wu brought over some fried eggs and said a few words, "Food is essential for life. No matter how busy you are, you can't skip meals."

"Okay, I got it." Mingyao nodded vigorously.

Aunt Wu put down the simple text and continued, "You still have to say that? You didn't eat anything all day yesterday, did you?"

"I was too tired yesterday, I will eat well today, thank you Wu Ma."

Mingyao took a sip of the eight-treasure porridge, and her empty stomach immediately felt warm and cozy. She was so engrossed in the food that she forgot herself and unconsciously revealed a bright and radiant smile.

Pei Siyu was momentarily distracted and lost in thought.

As Wu Ma's footsteps approached, Pei Siyu frowned slightly, his unease only growing stronger.

What's wrong with me?

This strange feeling was unfamiliar to Pei Siyu. He composed himself and regained his usual coldness.

"Thank you for your hard work yesterday."

Mingyao had just taken a bite of toast when her cheeks bulged out, making her look like a little hamster.

She was focused on eating and didn't hear a word the man said.

"Master Pei, what did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Siyu's face hardened, and the strange feeling he had just suppressed in his heart rose again.

He stood up abruptly and said coldly, "It's nothing."

"ah?"

After swallowing the toast, Mingyao looked at Pei Siyu's cold and aloof back with a puzzled expression.

Why is he becoming more and more unpredictable?
