Chapter 606 Such a coward, yet he wants to marry my sister.
"Beep beep—"
"Beep beep beep—"
"Beep beep beep beep—"
"..."
Pei Jinwu was fast asleep in her mother's arms when WeChat notifications started ringing incessantly.
That's wrong.
Sending messages in the middle of the night.
Afraid of waking her mother, Pei Jinwu stretched her fair arm out from under the covers, grabbed her phone, and opened WeChat.
Jiang Jibai, He Huaixu, Song Mingji, Shen Qianhua, Qu Qingli.
All five of them sent her text messages at the same time.
Jiang Jibai: "I suggest you investigate whether Shang Shiyan might also have some mental issues."
He Huaixu: "You're already this excited over just an engagement, what will you be like after the wedding? Harassing people in the middle of the night, you need to control your man!"
Song Mingji: "That old fox... never mind, I'm going to mute myself since I've already said something harsh!"
Information about Shen Qianhua and Qu Qingli follows.
Pei Jinwu didn't look closely; most of the comments were complaints about Shang Shiyan calling her late at night to "report good news" and being a nuisance.
There is also a recording as evidence.
She listened to a few sentences and could feel the old fox's excitement even through the receiver.
"..."
Pei Jinwu rubbed her temples helplessly and chuckled softly.
Is it really necessary?
If I had known he was this crazy, I should have discussed the engagement during the day.
——
The next day.
Pei Jinwu woke up early and quietly got out of bed to leave.
I thought Shang Shiyan had announced the good news too late last night and would still be catching up on sleep this morning.
Who would have thought?
Pushing open the door, I saw the man leaning against the headboard, holding his phone and talking to someone. He was wearing pajamas, the neckline wide open, revealing his fair and delicate chest. He was smiling like a peacock.
“Okay, Grandma.” Shang Shiyan’s gaze fell on Pei Jinwu’s face, and he said with a big smile, “Uncle Sheng’s health has not yet fully recovered. I will arrange for the two families to meet again in a few days.”
"not to mention--"
Shang Shiyan beckoned to Pei Jinwu, his thin lips curving upwards, his voice deep and resonant: "There are many things to prepare for the engagement, it can't be rushed."
"That's right, that's right."
The old lady Shang laughed so hard on the phone that she couldn't contain her joy: "Take Wuwu back for a visit when you have time. You little rascal, you actually kept her disappearance a secret from me."
"Wait until I get back, I'll break your legs."
"Grandma..." Shang Shiyan smiled helplessly, feigning grievance: "Your grandson is still injured, please don't hurt him."
"Should!"
Madam Shang snorted coldly, and was about to continue her scolding when she suddenly heard a clear voice: "Good morning, Grandma."
"Fog?"
The old lady was stunned for a few seconds, but after she came to her senses, her tone immediately warm and smiling: "Good morning, my dear child."
"Grandma, Shang Shiyan and I will come to see you in a couple of days," Pei Jinwu said softly, a smile playing on her lips, as she coaxed the old lady.
"Okay, okay."
The old lady quickly agreed, "Your parents have just returned, so we shouldn't disturb them. Grandma will visit them after we've rested."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu obediently agreed, feeling warm inside: "Grandma, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
"Okay, I'll hang up and go straight to sleep," the old lady said with a smile.
Pei Jinwu was stunned for a moment, then said "Goodbye" and hung up the phone.
Turn your head to the side.
He met Shang Shiyan's deep, smiling black eyes.
"Didn't sleep all night?" Pei Jinwu smiled, raising her clear eyes slightly.
"Um."
Shang Shiyan honestly admitted, hugging Pei Jinwu's waist, their eyes meeting: "I'm so happy, I can't sleep."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu's lips curled slightly, her tone languid: "Can't sleep, so you go bother other people?"
"?"
Shang Shiyan lifted his eyelids slightly, feeling a little guilty: "It's not harassment, it's to deliver good news."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu responded lazily, staring at the man with a half-smile.
His expression seemed to say: Guess if I believe him.
"You don't look well. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Shang Shiyan pulled Pei Jinwu into his arms and deliberately lowered his voice: "Sleep a little longer."
Sleeping with my mother again after many years.
Pei Jinwu felt uneasy and uncomfortable; she hadn't slept well.
She's a slow starter and needs time to warm up.
Leaning against Shang Shiyan, she suddenly felt sleepy and, too lazy to struggle, closed her eyes.
When I woke up again.
It's already 2 PM.
After washing up, Pei Jinwu went to the next room.
Sheng Beitang had just developed a persistent high fever, and only now, after taking the antidote, did he fall into a deep sleep.
Jiang Jibai and his older siblings all gathered around the hospital bed.
Xia Xun didn't look well.
"mom."
Pei Jinwu walked over, frowning slightly: "Why didn't you call me?"
"Mom knows you didn't sleep well last night," Xia Xun comforted her. "Besides, there's still the antidote, and your father's fever has subsided and he's fine."
"The antidote can only last for more than ten days."
After finishing Sheng Beitang's IV drip, He Huaixu said dejectedly, "The lab hasn't found any information about the antidote either."
"Give me a list of the ingredients."
Pei Jinwu frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'll find a way to go find it."
"If the original ingredient cannot be found, then look for other drugs that can replace it."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her gaze turning icy, and said, word by word, "I don't believe I can't crack the poisons and antidotes that Li Xiao can develop."
"good."
He Huaixu nodded. If someone in this world could develop an antidote.
It can only be her.
"Mom, I'm going out today," Pei Jinwu said. "I'll be back later."
"Be careful." Xia Xun didn't ask any further questions.
It's said that the parents of the shopkeepers doted on her, and it's certainly deserved that she returned safely.
Pei Jinwu walked to the door.
Black Fox suddenly caught up, frowning: "I was the last person to know you were getting engaged. What does Shang Shiyan mean by this?"
Notify everyone except her.
They're discriminating against each other.
"This matter..." Pei Jinwu touched her nose, trying hard to suppress a laugh: "Fourth sister, I have a question for you."
"Go ahead and ask."
The black fox looked at her younger sister with starry eyes, her gaze incredibly tender.
"If Shang Shiyan had called you last night and said he wanted to get engaged to me, how would you have reacted?"
"?"
Black Fox hesitated for a few seconds, then his gaze turned cold, and he said without any politeness, "Grab the gun and rush to his room immediately, and make him take back what he said."
Although she knew she couldn't keep her younger sister, she didn't want to marry her off so soon.
"..."
Pei Jinwu remained silent, patted Black Fox on the shoulder, and said seriously, "That's probably why he didn't dare to tell you."
I'm afraid I'll get shot.
"Such a coward, yet he wants to marry my sister."
Black Fox was clever and reacted instantly, frowning as he muttered, "If it weren't for the fact that he only had half a life left, I would never have let him succeed so easily."
younger sister.
Her younger sister is about to become someone else's family.
I want to cry.
"Hey."
Pei Jinwu took out some candy from her pocket and fed it to Black Fox, her voice gentle: "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"I'm not angry."
Black Fox, eating candy and with his sister pleading for him, was no longer angry. He muttered, "I just feel uncomfortable, like a little cabbage has been eaten by a pig."
I'm not going to be so petty now.
When the old fox comes to fetch his bride, she will block the door tightly.

There will be more updates.
