As Shen Yunan blinked, he reached into his coat pocket.
There was a note in his pocket.
Although the note was not explicit, if Shen Yu'nan hadn't known the other person's thoughts, it wouldn't have been difficult to detect the ambiguity.
He could have easily contacted her by phone, but instead he did this. I don't know if he found this kind of "secret" fun, or if he wanted to disgust me, who was about to marry Pei Wu. Did he know that I was a weak man who only listened to women, or did he know that Pei Wu was originally a flirtatious person and would definitely fall for his tricks?
Shen Yu'nan, looking at the note, sneered.
Shen Yu'nan's hand tightened slightly as he gripped the paper, his eyes narrowing as if he were carefully considering how to handle the matter. At that moment, Li Jian downstairs called out to Shen Yu'nan, "Sir, a Mr. Lou says he's here to see you."
After a moment of back and forth in his thoughts, Shen Yu Nan said, "I understand."
This Mr. Lou is from the Pei family's main residence, and this Mrs. Lou's identity is even more special. She is a person close to Pei Xing, the head of the Pei family, and is equivalent to Mo You, who was arranged by Pei's mother to be by Pei Wu's side.
Lou was about the same age as Pei's mother and was a trusted confidante trained by the previous head of the family. She was a person in Pei's mother's room, playing the role of introducing her young lady to the ways of the world. Anyone who had slept with the young lady would have a place after the young lady got married, after all, he was the young lady's first man.
However, this Lady Lou was like Mo You. She had never been intimate with Madam Pei, so her status was awkward. Although she served in the Pei family, she was not one of Madam Pei's concubines. She was loyal and devoted to Madam Pei all her life, working hard and taking care of all sorts of things for her.
Shen Yu'nan came downstairs and nodded politely to Mrs. Lou.
"Sir, you may not recognize me. I am Lou Ji, who serves the head of the family." Although Lou Ji is old, his figure and face still reveal the handsome appearance he had in his youth.
"Mr. Lou, is there anything I can do for you?"
"The head of the family requests your presence."
"..." Shen Yu Nan's brow twitched, then he respectfully lowered his eyes and said, "Please allow me to change into some proper clothes before I go with you to the main residence, Mr. Lou."
"You're too kind, sir. I'll wait here for a moment."
When Lou Ji was facing the man who was about to become the young lady's husband, he should have addressed him as "son-in-law," but he used the term "sir."
"good."
Shen Yu Nan wasn't surprised, but it happened faster than he had expected.
Shen Yu'nan knew that the best son-in-law in Pei's mother's heart was the virtuous and proper young master of the Hua family.
Even if the man is a few years older than his daughter, he just feels that older men are more likely to care for their women.
Soon, Shen Yu Nan changed his clothes and came downstairs with Lou Ji. Lou Ji respectfully opened the car door for Shen Yu Nan and even thoughtfully shielded his head, saying, "Please be careful."
"Thanks."
This was Shen Yu'nan's first time going to the Pei family's main residence alone. Although he knew this day would come, he still pondered the problems he might encounter on his way there. In short, he was currently only a robot, but the blood of the Pei family was in his abdomen.
Pei Wu is an only child, and at this age, she has no children of her own. Pei's mother must want a child.
'But would the Pei family really allow their eldest son to be born from someone of her status?'
Realizing what he was thinking, Shen Yu'nan sighed softly and turned his gaze to the window.
They soon arrived at the Pei family's main residence, but they didn't enter through the same gate Pei Wu had led them back through. It was a side gate, with few guards. Lou Ji and Shen Yu Nan got out of the car together and entered the main residence through the side gate. After entering through this gate, they entered the Pei family's garden, which was lush with trees and had quiet, tree-lined paths surrounded by transplanted precious flower species.
"Please watch your step," Lou Ji said as he led the way. "Although it's past the height of summer, it's still hot and sunny in the afternoon. Entering through this gate will be relatively cooler and closer to the master's courtyard."
"Yes." Shen Yu'nan smiled and nodded to the other party.
Lou Ji led the way, with Shen Yunan following behind. After about five or six minutes, they arrived at the place where Pei's mother lived.
"Master, I have brought Mr. Shao Sang with you."
Mrs. Pei had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was sitting on the veranda reading a book. Outside the veranda were lush, green trees, and the sound of cicadas, typical of summer, filled the air, though it was past the height of summer and the cicadas weren't noisy. The paper book she was holding showed that it had been read many times.
Madam Pei maintained excellent poise. As Lou Ji spoke to her, she slowly raised her head and adjusted her glasses. This was the first time Shen Yu Nan had a clear look at Madam Pei's appearance. Her eyes were beautiful; even with the marks of time, one could still see the exquisite beauty she had possessed in her youth.
"Lou Ji, you can go down now."
"yes."
It wasn't until Lou Ji left that Shen Yu Nan noticed that there were no more servants attending to Pei's mother.
Having been a powerful figure in the business world for many years, Madam Pei's gaze, now fixed on Shen Yu Nan, made him quite uneasy. Only after Lou Ji had walked away did Madam Pei smile and gesture for Shen Yu Nan to sit down. "Sit."
The gentle and pleasant attitude of "..." made Shen Yu Nan pause for a moment, and he looked up at Pei's mother.
"Sit down. A pregnant woman can't stand all the time."
"Yes." Shen Yu'nan was so nervous that his fingertips were slightly cold and his palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.
"Look at you, what? Do you think I'd feed you?"
"You...you flatter me. It's just that this is the first time Shao Sang has met you alone with the family head, and I feel a sense of awe, so I'm naturally a bit reserved in my behavior."
"You...you're very good with words." Madam Pei's gaze swept over Chen Yu Nanfan again. "Your clothes are also very appropriate. Whenever my daughter mentions you, she praises how well you take care of her. It's clear that you're quite good at serving people."
After putting down the book in her hand, Madam Pei was about to take a sip of the tea beside her when she realized that the tea in her cup was already empty. Shen Yu Nan got up and poured Madam Pei a cup of tea. Shen Yu Nan also noticed the cane that Madam Pei had placed beside her. He knew about how Madam Pei had injured her leg while saving her husband.
"You're very thoughtful," Pei's mother said, watching Shen Yu'nan pour her tea. "I imagine he'll be a man who cherishes his wife after marriage."
"It's a man's duty."
"There aren't many men like you these days. The country is now advocating gender equality. Men who read more books will have their own thoughts and like to be unconventional and advocate independence, just like Wu'er's former secretary."
"..." Upon hearing this, Shen Yu Nan's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, Pei's mother then mentioned the name "Shen Yu Nan".
