Chapter 78 Why are you arguing?
Two days later.
Pei Heng generously ordered a complete luxury overseas vacation package and carefully arranged a romantic date trip for his parents, with the destination being a sunny island in the southern hemisphere.
The couple was deeply moved.
Although the company is busy with affairs near the end of the year, I really can't bear to let my precious son down, so I gladly accept it.
So, early the next morning, Pei Zhenghong and Jiang Lanyue got on a luxury car to the airport, ready to start their own world of two.
Before the car started, Pei Wulin appeared at the main house door. Looking at his brother and sister-in-law who were ready to go, he asked in confusion: "Brother, sister-in-law, are you going on a long trip? Isn't the company very busy lately?"
Pei Zhenghong's face was filled with relief and pride at his son's filial piety, and he patted his brother's shoulder.
"Yeah! Xiao Heng arranged it. He told us to relax and enjoy some time alone together!"
"Oh, I'm telling you, a family still needs a child. Even though he's naughty and acts like a monkey when he's young, he'll know how to care for others when he grows up!"
"You, don't stay alone all the time. Start a family and have a baby to liven up the atmosphere!"
Pei Wulin raised his lips in an ambiguous arc and nodded in response, "That's right, big brother."
The car slowly drove away.
Pei Wulin stood there, watching the vehicle disappear at the end of the boulevard, his eyes deep and indistinct.
At this time, Pei Heng's voice sounded behind him, "Uncle, do you want to go traveling to relax? It's not too late to book a ticket now."
Pei Wulin slowly turned around and looked at Pei Heng.
"No, I think... it's fine here."
Pei Heng also smiled, his eyebrows curved, as if he was very satisfied with the answer: "That's good."
Dining room.
Pei Heng and Shen Shi sat on one side of the dining table, having lunch quietly.
Huo Xiao and Ling Yue sat diagonally opposite them, while Wen Desheng was wiping an antique vase beside a display stand not far away.
Pei Wulin sat alone on a single sofa near the window, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, with a relaxed posture, like an observer in control of the overall situation.
The atmosphere remained calm until Pei Heng suddenly put down his chopsticks.
He rested his elbows on the table, his chin supported by his palms, and looked out the window with his beautiful eyes at the bleak winter scenery, and sighed listlessly.
"It's so boring... I'm stuck at home all day. I want to travel somewhere warmer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fang next to him put down the spoon in his hand, looked at Pei Heng, frowned slightly, and spoke in a firm tone.
"no."
Pei Heng turned his head to look at Shen Shi.
"Why not? My parents can go, so why can't I?"
Shen Shi met his gaze, "The situation is special now. The person targeting you has not been found yet. It's not safe outside. You can't go out and take risks."
"It's the same excuse again." Pei Heng's tone was filled with dissatisfaction with being controlled. "Where is it unsafe? Last time was an accident. Am I going to be locked up at home for the rest of my life because of some lunatic who knows where?"
"Chen Shi, are you meddling too much?"
Shen Shi's expression also turned cold, "I'm not trying to control you, I'm worried about your safety... Ah Heng, be rational."
"I'm irrational?" Pei Heng was so angry that he slammed the soup spoon in his hand heavily on the table, shaking the porcelain plate.
"Chen Shi, you are the unreasonable one."
"You're controlling me! Restricting my freedom!"
Huo Xiao and Ling Yue stopped eating at the same time, looked up and looked at each other, as if they didn't know whether they should speak up to mediate or who to help in this situation.
Wendsheng looked over worriedly.
Pei Wulin, who was sitting by the window, raised his eyebrows and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He sipped his coffee slowly, his eyes moving between the emotional Pei Heng and the tense Shen Shi.
Shen Shi looked at Pei Heng's excited expression, and his expression became uglier.
He closed his eyes in silence, and when he opened them again, there was suppressed anger in his eyes.
"I'm worried about you, afraid that something might happen to you, and you just...trampled on my feelings like this?" Shen Shi's voice was suppressed, sounding angry and aggrieved.
Seeing this, Ling Yue and Huo Xiao became even more uneasy.
Huo Xiao subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Ling Yue stopped him with a look.
Wen Desheng quickly put down the vase and soft cloth in his hands, walked quickly to Pei Heng, and tried to comfort him, "Master, calm down. The young lady is also doing this for your own good. She is worried about your safety..."
Pei Heng refused to listen to any advice and swept the glass off the table with a wave of his arm.
"Get out of here, don't bother me!"
He turned around, his eyes cold, "Chen Shi, don't think I don't know that you've been monitoring my whereabouts behind my back, right?"
"You're restricting me from going here and there. Do you think those little tricks you're doing are so subtle? I've had enough! You're really annoying!"
"Sleep alone tonight. Don't bother me!"
After saying that, Pei Heng left the restaurant.
Shen Shi stood there, his face pale, his lips tightly pursed, looking at the direction where Pei Heng disappeared, his chest heaving violently.
His eyes were red, and he coldly swept the bowl and spoon in front of him to the ground, turned around and walked away quickly in the opposite direction of Pei Heng.
The restaurant was left in a mess and several people looked at each other in confusion.
Ling Yue and Huo Xiao then stood up, walked to Wen Desheng, and asked anxiously in a low voice.
"Butler Wen, this...what should we do? Why are the Young Master and the Young Mistress arguing so fiercely?"
Ling Yue frowned, "Ever since last time... Young Master accidentally discovered that Young Madam secretly arranged for someone to check his travel records."
"Whenever it comes to travel safety and contact with outsiders, they tend to argue, and they've had several arguments."
Pei Wulin, who was standing by the window, heard all their whispers.
His fingers holding the coffee cup rubbed the wall of the cup lightly, his face expressionless and he did not express any opinion.
After a while, seeing Huo Xiao and Ling Yue whispering with Wen Desheng about how to appease the two masters, Pei Wulin put down his coffee cup, stood up quietly and left the restaurant.
He walked out of the main house and into the garden.
The cold, damp winter wind blew the hem of his coat.
The Samoyed came out from nowhere and rubbed against his legs affectionately.
Pei Wulin stopped and casually reached out to rub the Samoyed's furry head, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the main house, as if he was talking to himself, or talking to the dog, in a low voice.
"What do you think...are they really quarreling, or are they just pretending?"
The conflict broke out suddenly and violently, but it was also reasonable.
The Samoyed raised its head, barked at him twice, and wagged its tail a few times.
Pei Wulin chuckled and shook his head: "Forget it, it's useless to ask you. You don't understand these things now."
Samoyed: “…”
Pei Wulin narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction Pei Heng left. "...Let's observe for two more days."
If it's really noisy, that would be great.
He muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the guest house where he was staying temporarily.
—
This quarrel obviously did not die down easily.
That night, Pei Heng really had everything packed up in a grand manner, and under the cautious and hesitant gazes of several servants, he went straight to the west building of the manor.
There is half a large artificial lake between the west building and the main house, making the environment more quiet.
He also specifically ordered that Ling Yue and Huo Xiao were not allowed to go over and guard the area, and only allowed the security personnel on the perimeter to conduct routine patrols.
Seeing that the young master was angry, everyone dared not disobey him. They could only coax him with kind words and let him go.
Wen Desheng was even more worried and sighed repeatedly, as if he saw the tragic future of the breakdown of the relationship between his prince and his master.
Pei Wulin happened to be taking a walk by the artificial lake when he met Pei Heng, who was walking towards the west building with a stern face.
He stopped, with just the right amount of concern on his face, "Hengheng, it's so late, where are you going?"
When Pei Heng saw him, his face looked unhappy and his tone was harsh.
"Sleep somewhere else, somewhere quiet."
Pei Wulin stood by the lake and watched his figure disappear into the gate of the west building.
He didn't leave, but sat down on a bench by the lake, admiring the lake view on the winter night.
Pei Wulin sat in the cold wind for nearly half an hour. He saw the light in the window go out, but he never saw Pei Heng come out, nor did he see anyone from the main house come over to try to ease the situation.
The lake was calm, with only the sound of the cold wind blowing through the dead branches.
Pei Wulin then slowly stood up, his eyes deep, and turned back thoughtfully.
It seems... this conflict is more serious than it appears on the surface.
