Chapter 88. Brother Shang Shiyan has taken good care of you, hasn't he?
"..."
Seeing how much he treasured it, the old lady snorted twice: "You'd better know your limits and not do anything reckless."
Still in school...
I guess he's not very old.
Thinking about this so early in the morning, that's really despicable.
"I know, Grandma."
Shang Shiyan put on his coat, gave a slight bow, and said respectfully, "The preparations for the birthday banquet are almost complete. You can rest now; I'll head back first."
The words fell.
The man strode briskly outside with his long, slender legs.
"Young Master..."
Wen's mother prepared a late-night snack and came out to call for help, only to find that the person had already disappeared.
Wen's mother asked curiously, "Didn't the young master say he was hungry?"
"snort."
The old lady twitched the corners of her mouth and sighed, "I heard that my precious baby isn't eating, so I'm rushing back to check on her."
Her grandson has always remained calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him.
I've never seen him care about anyone this much since he was a child.
"Is the old lady worried that the other party is not good enough for the young master?"
Wen's mother asked in confusion.
The merchant's wealth and status are undeniable; countless socialites and heiresses would kill to marry into his family.
"Of course not."
The old lady's lips twitched, a warm smile appearing on her aged yet elegant face. Her voice was deep: "Shi Yan's taste has always been good. Any girl he chooses must be exceptional."
"I'm just worried..."
The old lady looked out the window and sighed, "He's got his eye on that young girl. Do her parents know?"
"If they found out, they'd break his legs!"
Wen's Mom: "..."
at this time.
Achoo!
Jiang Jibai, who was on a business trip abroad, suddenly sneezed.
"Jiang Yingdi, are you alright?" the assistant asked softly.
"fine."
Jiang Jibai waved his hand and continued to look through the script.
Perhaps, his sister misses him.
Thinking of his sister, Jiang Jibai longed to return home.
On second thought—
Fortunately, he had a reliable brother, Shang Shiyan, to take care of him.
I'm relieved.
——
Above the clouds.
Pei Jinwu was tutoring Wen Jianjian until 10 p.m.
There seems to be no movement from next door yet.
Is Shang Shiyan not coming back tonight?
"Miss Pei—"
Just as the girl was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Wang Ma's voice rang out.
"I'm going back now."
Pei Jinwu immediately stood up and walked outside.
"Ah? Okay!"
Wen Jianjian was holding her pen and hadn't even reacted when her cousin had already disappeared.
What's wrong?
My cousin has been distracted all night!
...
Pei Jinwu ran home, looked around the living room, and didn't see the man. She looked a little confused.
"..."
She turned around and looked at Wang Ma.
"???"
Wearing an apron and carrying a bowl of rock sugar pear soup, Wang Ma stared at her with a puzzled look. "Miss Pei, the master hasn't returned yet."
I cooked her a late-night snack to warm her stomach.
That's how you call her.
"oh."
Pei Jinwu immediately wilted and sat dejectedly at the dining table.
"I don't……"
"It was the master's order." Seeing that she didn't want to eat, Wang Ma immediately brought up Shang Shiyan, "Please eat something."
"..."
A few seconds of silence.
Pei Jinwu finally picked up the spoon and finished eating all the rock sugar pear.
Then, feeling bored, I lay on the sofa playing games while occasionally glancing at the clock on the wall.
Without realizing it, she slowly closed her eyes.
In a daze.
She felt someone gently touch her hair. She opened her eyelids and was suddenly met with a pair of deep, dark, and gentle eyes, as deep as the ocean.
Inkstone from the Shang Dynasty.
Am I dreaming?
"..."
Pei Jinwu looked sleepy, blinked, and tried to stay awake.
"Why are you sleeping here, huh?"
Shang Shiyan squatted down beside the sofa, tucked the blanket around her, and asked softly.
"..."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her voice hoarse: "I was bored, so I fell asleep while playing games."
"Mr. Shang is finally back."
Wang Ma happened to come out of the kitchen and blurted out with a smile, "Miss Pei has been waiting for you in the living room all night."
"..."
Pei Jinwu's face flushed instantly, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
nonsense.
She didn't wait at all.
"Is that so?"
Shang Shiyan gently ruffled the girl's hair and said softly, "Don't wait for me next time. It's too cold in the living room, go back to your room to sleep."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu threw off the blanket and struggled to get up.
However, maintaining one position for too long caused my legs to go numb, and my body to tilt uncontrollably to the side.
"careful."
In the critical moment, Shang Shiyan opened his arms and caught the girl steadily.
"Hmm."
Pei Jinwu was caught off guard and fell into the man's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, feeling his rapidly beating heart.
"..."
In an instant, their eyes met.
An indescribable feeling arose spontaneously, and even the air seemed to be imbued with something stirring.
Are you alright?
Hearing the sound, thinking she had been hurt, Shang Shiyan anxiously asked what was wrong.
"without."
Pei Jinwu woke up quickly, immediately pushed the man away, and said in a muffled voice with her head down, "I'm going to sleep, goodnight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ran into the room.
"Thud—"
It looks like it's locked.
"?"
Shang Shiyan stood there, stunned, watching the girl's adorable reaction, a slight smile curving his thin lips.
The smile on his face held a deeper meaning.
——
Inside the room.
Pei Jinwu lay in bed, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.
When I woke up again, there were two dark circles under my eyes.
"ah."
Aunt Wang was quite startled and raised her voice, asking, "Miss Pei, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you have insomnia last night?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu was drinking porridge when she almost choked.
She tilted her head back and secretly glanced at the man opposite her.
She noticed that he was also staring at her, a carefree smile playing on his lips.
What is he happy about?
"I didn't..."
Just as she was about to deny it, her phone rang.
"Your brother."
Shang Shiyan answered the call, put the speakerphone on, and then slowly peeled an egg for the little girl.
"Wuwu." Jiang Jibai's tone was unusually gentle, a far cry from his usual aloofness. "How have you been lately? Brother Shang Shiyan has been taking good care of you, hasn't he?!"
"..."
Looking at the mountain of breakfast piled on her plate, Pei Jinwu poked at her spoon and mumbled, "It's fine."
Jiang Jibai was very satisfied.
Surprisingly, this old man, Shang Shiyan, actually has a knack for taking care of children.
"Your brother bought you lots of snacks."
She packed several suitcases full of snacks, wishing she could bring the whole world to her sister.
"oh."
Pei Jinwu replied lazily, "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome." Jiang Jibai was delighted to be called "brother." As he flipped through the script, his voice became even gentler: "Don't worry, brother will be back next week."
"When your brother comes back, we'll take you home to live."
Shang Shiyan was always an outsider...
The brother and sister live together, which makes it easier for them to develop a relationship.
Take them home to live?
Is it time to leave the clouds?
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinwu subconsciously looked at the man opposite her.
"..."
Shang Shiyan smiled, his gaze fixed on her with deep understanding, and asked with a light laugh, "Does Wuwu want to leave?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu moved her lips, but did not answer.
——
good evening.
The storyline of Grandma's birthday banquet begins.
