"Why?" Sheng Yunrong saw the surprise in his eyes, "Don't you like it?"

Pei Jinxiao slightly suppressed the surprise between his brows, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His eyes lingered on Sheng Yunrong's face for a moment, and he slowly said: "I like it, of course I like it, but... this gift is too expensive, I feel unworthy of it."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with pride. She raised her chin slightly and smiled, "Pei Lang, don't you understand? This gift is not to put pressure on you, but my heart for you. As long as you like it, I will be satisfied."

The living room of Pei's house was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao sat opposite each other, their eyes intertwined in the air, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"Miss Sheng, I appreciate your kindness, but this gift... is too expensive. I can't afford it." Pei Jinxiao mentioned the issue of gifts again, with a firm look on his face.

A trace of doubt flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She bit her lips and looked at Pei Jinxiao: "Pei Lang, do you really not like this gift?"

Pei Jinxiao was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss Sheng, it's not that I don't like the gift, but I don't like the weight of this gift. What I want is your heart, not this heavy gift."

Sheng Yunrong's smile froze as she heard this. She pursed her lips tightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head, rubbing her embroidered skirt on her knees with her fingers, and was silent for a moment.

"Pei Lang, I know what you mean, and I am willing to give you my heart. But this gift is my father's intention and my promise to you. If you really love me, you should accept this gift." Sheng Yunrong's voice trembled a little, but she tried to keep herself calm.

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He gently held her hand and said, "Miss Sheng, I understand what you mean. But what I want is your sincere feelings, not this gift. If you are really willing to give your heart to me, then please take back this gift."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes were a little wet, and she looked at Pei Jinxiao with tears in her eyes. She held Pei Jinxiao's hand tightly and said, "Pei Lang, I understand. I am willing to take back this gift and give my heart completely to you."

Pei Jinxiao gently stroked Sheng Yunrong's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness. He whispered, "Miss Sheng, I have received your heart. From now on, we will go through it together, no matter the wind and rain, we will never leave each other."

Sheng Yunrong burst into laughter, she hugged Pei Jinxiao tightly, rested her head on his chest, and felt his warmth. She whispered: "Pei Lang, I do."

The servants of the Pei Mansion outside the living room looked at the scene in the living room and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The love between Miss Sheng and Pei Lang was like a painting, which made people sigh.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao have been married for several years. During this period, they supported each other, weathered the storm together, and their feelings became deeper and deeper. Pei Jinxiao was promoted repeatedly in the court, and Sheng Yunrong also became the mistress of the Pei Mansion, and the reputation of the Pei Mansion became more and more prominent.

However, behind this happiness, Sheng Yunrong has a wish that she has not fulfilled. That is, she wants a child. Every night, Sheng Yunrong would look at the starry sky and pray silently, hoping to have a child to accompany their lives.

On this day, Sheng Yunrong was walking in the back garden of Pei's house. She looked at the spring scenery in the garden, her heart full of expectations. At this time, Pei Jinxiao came from behind, hugged her gently, rested his head on her shoulder, and said: "Miss Sheng, I will definitely help you realize your wish."

Sheng Yunrong turned her head and looked at Pei Jinxiao, her eyes full of gratitude. She gently stroked Pei Jinxiao's cheek and said, "Pei Lang, I believe you."

At this moment, Sheng Yunrong suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help vomiting. Pei Jinxiao hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Miss Sheng, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "Pei Lang, I...I think I'm pregnant."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He hugged Sheng Yunrong tightly and said excitedly: "Miss Sheng, is it true? We are going to have a baby!"

Sheng Yunrong smiled, her eyes full of happiness.

"Don't like it? How is that possible?" Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, the surprise in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of tenderness and teasing, "I just didn't expect Miss Sheng to be so proactive, I am a little flattered."

Sheng Yunrong blushed slightly. She glared at Pei Jinxiao, but a smile hung on the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Pei, don't you understand? In this chaotic world, only if you and I support each other can we get through the difficulties together."

Pei Jinxiao nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Miss Sheng is absolutely right. However, there is one thing I don't understand, and I hope you can explain it to me."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and motioned Pei Jinxiao to continue.

"The Sheng family is now very powerful, why would the eldest lady choose to make friends with me, a young master of the Pei family who has a lesser reputation?" Pei Jinxiao's eyes were frank and his tone was sincere.

Sheng Yunrong sighed softly, with a look of helplessness in her eyes: "Although the Sheng Mansion is large, there are constant disputes within the family. As the eldest daughter, I naturally cannot sit idly by and watch the family decline. And you, Mr. Pei, are talented and have good character. You are exactly the partner I need."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with admiration. He gently patted Sheng Yunrong on the shoulder and said firmly, "Don't worry, Miss Sheng. I will do my best to help you."

Sheng Yunrong's face flushed, and she took the rose, her heart filled with joy. At this moment, a servant came running in, reporting in a panic: "Miss, it's bad! The second son of the Sheng family is suddenly seriously ill and in critical condition!"

Sheng Yunrong's face changed, she immediately put down the rose in her hand and asked anxiously: "Ding, how is my second brother now?"

The servant shook his head, looking sad: "The second young master has fallen into a coma. The doctor said that his condition is very serious."

Sheng Yunrong felt a wave of grief in her heart. She turned to Pei Jinxiao and said, "Mr. Pei, let's go back and see our second brother right away."

Pei Jinxiao nodded gently, holding Sheng Yunrong's hands tightly, and said firmly: "Miss, don't worry, I will accompany you through this difficult time."

After returning to Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao went straight to the second young master's room. They saw that the second young master was lying on the bed, his face was pale and his breath was weak. Sheng Yunrong's eyes were filled with tears. She held the second young master's hand tightly and called his name.

Pei Jinxiao stood aside. Looking at Sheng Yunrong's sad expression, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must find out the cause of the disease and save the second young master's life.

After some investigation, Pei Jinxiao discovered that the second son's illness was caused by eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake. He immediately organized people to find an antidote.
