Shen Yu Nan's mind was in turmoil. He could only calm himself down by clenching his fists tightly and feeling the pain of his nails digging into his palms. He bit his lip hard, turning his pale lips bright red, and gradually calmed himself down, finally able to sort out his thoughts.
He reached up and covered his forehead before speaking again, "Cough cough... I was inconsiderate just now... cough cough..." Shen Yu'nan felt a tightness in his chest, his clenched fist pressed firmly against the wall in the corridor, his knuckles white and veins bulging. "I'm currently out of town, I might have to trouble you to make a trip for me... is that alright?"
"There's no need for such formalities between us. Even if you didn't say anything, I would still go out for you. I know that if you handle it yourself, you'll get entangled with your heartless parents and sister again."
Shen Yu Nan's eyes were half-closed, making his expression unreadable, but his pale lips were tinged with a beautiful red. He had calmed down a bit and continued, "Yes, thank you, thank you very much." After expressing his gratitude sincerely, he continued, "Tell the police that we are willing to settle this privately, but we don't need to give them my number. Just find out what they..." Shen Yu Nan paused slightly, referring to his parents and sister, "...how much money they took from me, I will return it all to them, and I will also make up for the expenses of their long journey to find me."
In his momentary daze, Shen Yu'nan was filled with fear that Pei Wu would find out, and that the Pei family would find out. He even said something outrageous like giving them his number. Now that he was the husband of the Pei family's young lady, he absolutely could not have any contact with these people or get involved in anything with them. His reputation was no longer just his own, but the reputation of him and Pei Wu as a couple, and even the reputation of the Pei family.
"Okay, don't worry. I still have some money on hand, I'll transfer it to you later."
"Don't worry, I still have some money on hand."
Pei Wu was washing Pei Nian's hands. Pei Nian, being a child, could blow a big bubble even from the foam on his hands. This simple thing made him grin happily, revealing rows of neat white teeth. Pei Wu was touched by this and gently tapped Pei Nian's nose with her foam-covered hand.
Looking at the face in front of her that looked so much like her own, her heart softened even more, and she gently pinched Pei Nian's nose again.
She couldn't help but think of the life Shen Yu'nan had once lived.
When she first met him, Shen Yu Nan was wearing wrinkled, rough clothing, which gradually concealed the bruises all over his body. His white shirt revealed bloody teeth marks on his shoulders, and he seemed oblivious to the pain. His face was pale, his lips were very pale, and his eyes seemed lifeless. His frail body only looked somewhat normal when it was covered by his suit. She had witnessed Shen Yu Nan's weak body firsthand.
Pei Wu had experienced the hardships of Shao Sang's pregnancy firsthand; she had witnessed the entire process firsthand and knew the difficulties involved, especially considering Shen Yu Nan's frail health.
Having been connected to the game system, Pei Wu knew firsthand how impoverished Shen Yu'nan had been, and that raising a child was no easy feat. Now, freed from the game system, she had no way of knowing whether the child, 'Pei Nian,' existed in the game's story.
Pei Wu's thoughts drifted a little further away.
Pei Nian was having a great time playing with the foam in his hands. He chuckled twice, which brought Pei Wu back to her senses. She vaguely heard Shen Yu Nan coughing.
"I'm going to check on your father." Pei Wu gently pinched Pei Nian's nose again. "Hurry up and wash, don't get all wet from playing."
"good."
Pei Nian responded crisply with an "okay".
