Chapter 218 Fog: I'm angry, I won't say anything, I'll make him guess.
evening.
The four siblings sat at the dining table.
"Welcome home, little sister." Jiang Jibai raised his glass first and said a lot of emotional words, "Our Wuwu has her big brother backing her up now."
"No matter what happens in the future, your brothers will always be your strongest support."
"Welcome home, little sister."
He Huaixu and Song Mingji echoed, gazing at Pei Jinwu with affection, "And also, happy graduation."
"Thank you, brother."
Pei Jinwu held out her drinks and gently clinked glasses with the three of them.
"I heard from Shi Yan that you like mangoes." Song Mingji pushed the fruit in front of his younger sister and said solicitously, "Eat up and see if you like it."
"..."
Pei Jinwu ate a piece; it was clearly very sweet, but she felt it was tasteless.
"not bad."
Not wanting to offend her brother, Pei Jinwu raised her face and smiled slightly: "You guys eat too."
"good."
The three exchanged glances, all feeling that although the younger sister was happy, she seemed to be hiding something on her mind.
wrong.
There are people hiding there.
——
After dinner.
Pei Jinwu sat on the sofa watching TV.
It's a bit boring.
I simply took out my phone and started playing games.
Still bored.
Everything is so boring.
The three older brothers stood beside him, occasionally trying to start a conversation.
"..."
Pei Jinwu answered occasionally, but seemed somewhat dazed.
"Miss Pei, have some lemon water." Wang Ma walked over to her with a glass of water and gently reminded her.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang."
Pei Jinwu took the water, tasted it, and found it was warm. She instinctively wanted to speak.
She wanted something iced.
“Mr. Shang said…” Wang Ma opened her mouth and explained softly, “You specifically instructed me in a few days that you shouldn’t drink anything cold.”
"oh."
Pei Jinwu's cheeks flushed slightly. It was strange that Shang Shiyan knew so much about things she couldn't even remember.
"It's too late. Wuwu must be tired after a long day. You should get some rest," Jiang Jibai said softly.
He Huaixu and Song Mingji also nodded.
Jiang Jibai personally escorted Pei Jinwu to her bedroom.
Push open the door.
The room is huge, and the first thing you see is a princess room full of girlish charm.
The semi-open wardrobe contained many clothes suitable for her age, all of them designer brands.
The crystal chandelier overhead shone with dazzling light.
The whole room looked beautiful and was a feast for the eyes.
"Take a look and see if there's anything you don't like." Jiang Jibai lowered his eyes, gazing tenderly at his younger sister, and said softly, "Have someone change it tomorrow."
"Thank you, brother."
A warm feeling washed over Pei Jinwu, and she smiled slightly: "I'm very satisfied."
"good."
Jiang Jibai breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Go to sleep early. I'm next door. Send me a WeChat message if you need anything."
The door closed.
Pei Jinwu sat on the bed, looking at the lemon water placed on the bedside table.
In the end, she couldn't resist and opened her phone to send a WeChat message to Shang Shiyan.
Pei Jinwu: 【。】
Less than five seconds.
A video call started.
Tsk.
Pei Jinwu gave a soft snort.
You've only thought to send her a video now?
There wasn't even a single message during the entire day.
I really don't want to answer.
My brain was rejecting it, but my fingers couldn't help but tap the call button.
finger:"???"
I'm innocent!
"Fog."
In the video, Shang Shiyan is dressed in a sharp suit and appears to be still in the CEO's office.
It's almost midnight.
He was still busy with work.
As far as I can remember, when she lived in the clouds, Shang Shiyan never came home after seven o'clock.
"..."
Pei Jinwu placed her phone on the headboard and sat cross-legged on the bed.
I'm angry.
Don't say anything, let him guess.
"Was it fun coming home with your brother?" Shang Shiyan naturally guessed what the little girl was thinking. A low, husky laugh escaped his throat, mixed with doting: "I didn't contact you during the day so as not to disturb your reunion."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu gave a muffled reply, bringing her face closer to the camera so she could see the other person more clearly: "Brother is fine."
He was very good to her.
She feels at home here.
"Are you happy?" Shang Shiyan asked again.
"happy."
Pei Jinwu wasn't lying; she was indeed happy, but she couldn't help feeling a little empty.
"That's good."
Hearing her say that, Shang Shiyan felt much more at ease and said softly, "It's too late, get some rest. I'll video call you tomorrow, okay?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Feng Xing's voice suddenly rang out: "Master, the international conference video will begin in five minutes."
"Hang up."
Pei Jinwu, afraid of disturbing his work, hung up the phone decisively.
Just then.
There was a knock on the door, and Wang Ma came in carrying a small box.
"I'm sorry, Miss Pei, I forgot to give you the thing Mr. Shang asked me to give you."
"..."
Pei Jinwu opened it and found candies of various colors and flavors inside.
My depressed mood instantly took hold.
But what Pei Jinwu didn't expect was—
She couldn't sleep that night.
For the first time ever, I stayed awake from darkness until dawn.
It wasn't until Aunt Wang asked her to come downstairs for breakfast that she finally got to go.
I checked the time; it was eight in the morning.
She had been sleepless for nine hours straight.
Even my favorite candy didn't work.
The thought of possibly having insomnia later made Pei Jinwu feel uneasy.
——
After washing up.
Pei Jinwu walked to the restaurant and sat down.
"Good morning."
"Good morning—" Jiang Jibai smiled and was about to respond when he was caught off guard by the little girl's weathered face.
The dark circles under his eyes were particularly noticeable.
Is it because I didn't sleep well, or...?
I didn't sleep at all!
"Have some sweet porridge." He Huaixu served it and thoughtfully placed it beside her.
"Wuwu, have an egg." Song Mingji took meticulous care of her.
They specifically consulted the older man for advice, and all the dishes they made were the younger sister's favorites.
But--
It seems that Wuwu doesn't have a good appetite.
The girl, who usually has such a big appetite, only drank two mouthfuls of porridge.
"I'm full." Pei Jinwu put down her spoon and forced a smile. "You guys take your time eating."
After speaking, he went to sit on the sofa and played games.
It's obvious that she's feeling very down.
"..."
The three brothers exchanged a glance, feeling nothing but heartache.
"It seems my previous guess was wrong." Jiang Jibai ate his xiaolongbao slowly, a helpless smile playing on his lips. "A week? That's giving our little sister too much credit."
"..."
He Huaixu and Song Mingji looked at their distraught younger sister.
Oh.
I didn't know; I thought they were trying to break up a couple.
That old fox has some tricks up his sleeve.
In just three months, he won his sister's heart completely.
"Let's eat something."
Jiang Jibai took out his phone and said while texting: "Although I really want my siblings to reunite, I want Wuwu to be happy even more."
"..."
He Huaixu and Song Mingji knew their elder brother's thoughts and tacitly approved.
yes.
My sister's happiness is the most important thing.
not to mention.
With Wuwu by Shang Shiyan's side, they could rest assured.
Jiang Jibai edited a text message: 【Bring my sister's soul】
Shang Shiyan: "..."
