Lin Cuicui nodded and asked, "Do you want to prepare anything?"
Pei Yu had been here before, but this time his identity was different. After all, he might be the future son-in-law. Shouldn't I be more cautious?
Chen Li shook her head, "Mom, no need. With Pei Yu's status, he has seen all kinds of good things. There is no need to be too deliberate."
"Okay then."
Shen Changshan was a little depressed. He had long seen that Pei Yu had ulterior motives towards his daughter, but he never expected that he would eventually take her back.
As for what Chen Li said about giving it a try first, he didn't believe it. With Ali's personality, her agreement meant that Pei Yu already had a place in her heart.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will definitely be able to go to the end. I just hope Pei Yu will not let Ali down. Otherwise, if he risks his life, Pei Yu will pay the price.
Although he is insignificant and has little influence, he will not give up as long as he is alive.
"A-Li, what's the situation with Master Pei's family? Do you know?"
Shen Li nodded and put her eldest nephew down in her arms. He was too noisy in her arms.
"His parents are gone, he has no brothers or sisters, and the backyard is clean, so Mom can rest assured."
Lin Cuicui was relieved, perhaps because Pei Yu was now her future son-in-law, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity for the child.
It's Chinese New Year, and he's all alone and lonely. It would be nice to celebrate the New Year with his family, at least it would be lively.
Chen Li looked at the expression on her mother's face and understood what she was thinking. How to put it, this life experience was indeed quite pitiful.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
Today is the Little New Year, and the food on the table is very rich. However, because there are not many people, although there are many dishes, the portions are not large so as to avoid waste.
It was already very late when Pei Yu woke up at night. Looking at the sky, he thought Chen Li should have fallen asleep, so he did not disturb her. Instead, he returned to the study to deal with the official business that had accumulated during this period.
After dealing with it for two hours, he suddenly remembered what Chen Li said during the day, put down the brush, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
He didn't fall asleep and got up at dawn. When he passed by the bronze mirror, he took a closer look to make sure that his face had not become ugly due to his busy schedule during this period. Only then did he feel relieved.
Tianqing just came in with the basin of water when he saw his master there. He looked in the mirror, quickly took a few steps back and left the room. When did his master care so much about his appearance?
Didn’t I say before that appearance is irrelevant?
The current situation must be related to Miss Shen, so he'd better not take it seriously.
"Azure."
"master."
Pei Yu had already put on his clothes. Today he was wearing a black brocade robe. It looked unremarkable at first glance, but in fact it was not. The material was not cheap.
The hem of the clothes is embroidered with cloud patterns, and a lifelike bamboo is embroidered on the clothes with silver silk thread. The belt is of ordinary style.
"Go prepare some valuable gifts. I'm going to visit the Shen family in a few days."
Hmm? A house call?
It's so formal, it wasn't like this before. Could it be that Miss Shen has figured it out and given her master a title?
He carefully glanced at his master's face, which was cheerful, so it seemed that he was right.
"yes."
These thoughts in my mind only lasted for a second. I was already taking inventory of what was left in the warehouse. When the master raided the house before, he left some things behind. I had to see if they were here or in Suzhou.
After selecting, it has to be reviewed by the master. The New Year is just a few days away, so we have to speed up.
It would be great if Uncle Fu was here, he would definitely have experience in these matters.
So, Tianqing compiled a gift list as quickly as possible and gave it to Pei Yu for review. He then revised it three times before it was barely approved.
After walking out of the study, Tianqing wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly led his men to the warehouse.
Pei Yu spent the whole day handling most of his official duties, and only found time to look for Chen Li in the evening.
However, when I arrived in the yard, I found that the lights in the study were not on, so the person should be in the bedroom. I had just taken two steps when I heard the faint sound of water inside.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but his ears suddenly turned red. He turned his back and walked to the wall of the yard.
Chen Li raised her eyebrows slightly, naturally noticing the movement in the yard, and quickened her bathing pace, but she didn't expect him to come at this time.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, he used his inner strength to dry his hair, put on his outer clothes, and then opened the door.
"Come in, are you going to stand there and freeze to a block of ice?"
Pei Yu touched his nose and walked over. As soon as he walked in, he smelled a sweet fragrance, and his ears, which had originally turned red, instantly turned red again.
Shen Li sat down at the table and realized that the man's movements were a bit strange, as if he was using the same hands and feet.
He looked down at himself and saw that he was dressed tightly. Why was he blushing?
When Pei Yu sat down, he saw Chen Li's face. She had just taken a shower and there was still a blush on her cheeks. She looked at him with a smile. In addition, the candlelight in the room was dim, so Pei Yu felt a little dry in the mouth.
I poured a cup of tea and drank it, and the heat in my heart subsided a little.
Chen Li changed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, "Why are you here so late?"
"I just finished the official business at hand."
"You have a cold?"
His voice sounded a little hoarse, and I thought he had caught a cold outside, but considering he was in good health, that shouldn't be the case.
When her eyes moved to his red ears, even his fair neck turned a little red, and Shen Li laughed out loud.
It would have been fine if she didn't smile, but when she did, Pei Yu's handsome face turned red.
After a while, Pei Yu looked at the still smiling person and said helplessly, "Ali, stop laughing. If you keep laughing, your stomach will hurt."
Chen Li nodded, "Ayu, how come you are so... innocent?"
Pei Yu didn't seem angry. He drank another cup of cold tea before saying, "I've heard people say that innocence is a man's best dowry. Does Ah Li like it?"
When I first heard it, I thought it was ridiculous. I was young and hot-headed at the time, and I sneered at it. But now, seeing the happy look on the face of the girl opposite me, I feel that what the man said is true.
"like."
Chen Lidai didn't expect that someone could say such words. This is very rare.
Pei Yu moved a stool to Chen Li's side. The closer he got, the more he could smell the girl's fragrance. It was not a strong fragrance, but it penetrated into his heart.
Seeing him approaching, Chen Li suddenly moved forward and reached out to pinch his red earlobe. Hmm, it felt pretty good.
Pei Yu was completely stunned. The girl was very close to him. As long as he stretched out his hand, he could embrace the beauty in his arms, but he didn't dare to move.
Looking at his dazed look, Chen Li wanted to sit up straight. That was enough. If she played too much, she wondered if he would get angry out of embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, an arm was placed around her waist, and with a little force, he pulled her into his arms.
