'And he also has a gentle nature that women would like.'
Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan raised his eyebrows slightly, and naturally he also noticed that there were many cars parked in the yard.
Are there any guests?
Pei Wu naturally noticed the cars parked in the yard as well.
"Yes, knowing that Miss is returning today, the head of the family has specially arranged a cocktail party." As Mo You spoke, he subconsciously raised his eyelids and glanced at Pei Wu. "I have already prepared a dress for you, please go back to your room and change into it first."
"Oh, I see." Pei Wu nodded slightly, not paying much attention. There were indeed quite a few boring parties in high society on weekdays.
"I have also prepared clothes for Mr. Shaosang, please join me."
Mo You's lips curved slightly upward, forming a gentle smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Mo You."
"Mr. Shao Sang, you're too kind."
On the way back to Pei Wu's room, Mo You told Pei Wu the list of guests attending the party that night, and only after watching Pei Wu enter her room did he say to Shen Yu Nan, "Mr. Shao Sang, this way please."
Shen Yu Nan nodded slightly, which was considered as agreeing to Mo You's words.
Mo You led him on a winding, circuitous route for quite some time.
"It seems that Mr. Mo You is taking me to a room that I stayed in last time."
Shen Yu Nan remembered that the room he stayed in last time was right next to Pei Wu's.
Mo You did not answer Shen Yu Nan's question, but simply walked ahead in silence, even leaving Shen Yu Nan more than a meter behind.
Shen Yu'nan watched the other person's back, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Mo You's sudden change in attitude reminded Shen Yu'nan of his provocative words that morning. He couldn't tell if Mo You's attitude stemmed from anger at his crude language, or...
"I am someone the head of the family placed by Miss's side. Even if Miss has a husband in the future, I will still have a say. Therefore, it is naturally my decision where you live, Mr. Shaosang. I also ask Mr. Shaosang to understand your own position. You are just a trial product of the company's products, and your status is no different from that of the lamp on the ceiling. So, don't overstep your bounds."
Mo You led Shen Yu Nan to a room at the end of the corridor before turning around to speak to Shen Yu Nan.
“What you said… is not wrong. My identity is indeed as you said.” Shen Yu’nan looked at the ceiling after following Mo You’s hand, and then looked at Mo You again.
After a moment of eye contact, Mo You continued, "This is Mr. Shao Sang's room. I have already arranged your clothes. I will take my leave now."
Shen Yu'nan watched Mo You's departing figure disappear around the corner before he looked away. He was glad that Mo You was not one to lose his composure.

Mo You quickly walked to the top of the stairs before stopping. He took a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart.
After returning from Pei Wu's place, Mo You's mind was filled with Shao Sang's words to him that morning: "Have you slept with Miss C?" The implication was clear: Shao Sang had already slept with Miss C, which was why she said those words to mock him.
Everyone in the Pei family knew that he did not stay overnight in the young lady's room that night. Even though he was the man chosen by the head of the family, he was also the man the young lady rejected.
He was raised from childhood to be a man sent to the young lady, but this Shao Sang has been trying to take his place step by step. If it were just about the young lady's daily life, that would be one thing. But Shao Sang couldn't help but secretly mock himself as a man who had been rejected by the young lady. The news he received in the afternoon also proved that Shao Sang wanted to interfere in the company's affairs.
As his thoughts wandered, Mo You returned to Pei Wu's doorway once again.
He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door. "Miss, do you need any help?"
"No need, I'm fine now."
"yes."
A short while later, Pei Wu changed her clothes and came out of the room.
Where is Shao Sang?
When Mo You heard Pei Wu ask about Shao Sang, he lowered his eyes to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Mr. Shao Sang probably needs some more time. He said he would meet us in the hall later."
"Um."
After speaking, Pei Wu and Mo You went to the main hall.
By this time, it was already dark outside, and the lights in the courtyard were particularly dazzling. A long white table was set up next to the swimming pool in the center of the courtyard, and the table was full of fine wine and delicacies. Although there were quite a few people chatting in the hall, most of them were quite old, while there were relatively more young people by the pool.
"It's their own home turf party, and they're still late. They're really getting more and more ignorant of etiquette as they get older."
"Yes, Mother is right."
Pei Wu's descent from the stairs, coupled with her conversation with her mother, drew the attention of those around her.
"If my mother had told me earlier that there was a party tonight, I would have come much earlier."
Pei Wu's silver dress perfectly accentuated her figure, her long, dark hair cascading down her back, her delicate eyebrows and eyes exuding a cool and aloof aura.
"It's been a while since I've seen A-Wu. Originally, she only looked a lot like you, President Pei, but now even her temperament is becoming more and more similar." The speaker was Hua Gui, an old friend of Pei's mother.
Pei's mother brushed a stray hair from Pei Wu's head and said with a kind expression, "Wu'er still looks like her father."
"Yes, a daughter is more like her father, but she is also like you."
"After breaking off the engagement with the Zhou family, have you found a new suitable candidate?" Hua Gui asked, glancing around unconsciously. "I see a lot of boys of marriageable age with our A-Wu today. A-Wu, go and play with them. What's the point of talking to us old folks?"
"No rush, no rush, Wu'er has her own ideas." Madam Pei smiled, but gently patted Pei Wu's hand. After a while, she seemed to remember something and asked Pei Wu, "Where is your Shao Sang being taken care of?"
Pei's mother's affectionate gesture made Pei Wu's expression slightly unnatural. Mo You, who was standing beside her, trembled slightly when Pei's mother asked about Shao Sang.
Even though Pei's mother knew that Shao Sang was just a new product for the company, she still politely called him by his name.
"They'll be here in a bit."
"Yes, I'll personally oversee who takes care of you."
"yes."
"Go ahead, go and hang out with those young people."
"Drinking and chatting is boring; it's better to chat with my mother."
Although Pei's mother didn't say it explicitly, Pei Wu could tell the purpose of the party. Looking around, she saw men of her age everywhere, as if her mother was practically slapping the word "blind date" on her forehead.
"Mother, don't bother with these things anymore. If I find someone I like, I'll bring them to you to see right away. Don't back out then."
"After thinking it over carefully, I realized that I'm getting old, and it would be difficult for the Pei family's business to reach the next level by your generation. A marriage alliance would only allow other families to benefit from the Pei family's success, which is really unnecessary. You are my only daughter, so it's up to you to choose your marriage partner. Just pick someone you like. For me, nothing is more important than my daughter's happiness."
