After he had eaten his fill, he finally let go of her, whose body was already flushed, and gently embraced her.
Xu Jiayue's breathing was erratic, her forehead pressed against his chest, panting softly.
"Jiayue, thank you for doing so much for me." Pei Yang said seriously, kissing her hair and gently massaging her hands.
This time she didn't deny it, but simply buried her head in his arms.
The two remained silent, the room filled with an ambiguous yet warm atmosphere, the scent of fresh grass lingering for a long time.
The next day, Xu Jiayue got up and saw Pei Yang already getting dressed with his back to her.
She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock; it was only seven o'clock.
"Why are you up so early?" She yawned softly.
Pei Yang turned around, walked to the bedside, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying, "Something came up at the company, you can sleep a little longer."
Xu Jiayue nodded, still sleepy, and closed her eyes.
After tying his tie, Pei Yang made a phone call to his assistant and quickened his pace to leave.
"Okay, I understand." He didn't even eat breakfast before getting into the car and driving away from the yard.
He had planned to use that underhanded tactic to force the old man to step down, knowing that the old man wouldn't tolerate disobeying his descendants. However, he didn't expect the old man to be so ruthless, uniting several major shareholders from other families and holding a new vote to change course.
Although the Pei family is a joint-stock group, it is not necessarily in power because it holds the most shares. As long as the shares reach a certain proportion, the shareholders' meeting can vote to decide who will be in power.
The old man is determined to bring him down, without even considering whether the person he's supporting is capable. He's really getting senile with age, making a fool of the Pei family for no reason.
Pei Yang was filtering through various methods in his mind when his phone rang. It was a call from the old man.
He answered the phone, but after a few words, they couldn't agree and he hung up.
Xu Jiayue didn't wake up until after eight o'clock. She went into the bathroom at a leisurely pace, washed up, took out the jade stone, and blushed as she washed it thoroughly.
As she went downstairs, she found breakfast prepared by Aunt Wu. She had just sat down to eat when the doorbell rang.
Did Aunt Wu forget her keys when she came back from grocery shopping?
Xu Jiayue remotely activated the door control video, only to find a long-haired stranger standing outside.
It wasn't entirely unfamiliar; I seemed to have seen this woman by Old Master Pei's side during the wedding. Afterwards, Pei Yang mentioned that she was the only daughter of a major shareholder of the Pei family, and her surname seemed to be Yan. The old man called her Xiao Yan.
What's the meaning of coming here so early in the morning?
Xu Jiayue frowned slightly. How could she not see that this woman was interested in Pei Yang? She didn't want to pay any attention to her and just let her wait outside.
Xu Jiayue put down the remote control and continued eating her breakfast, occasionally glancing up at the video camera.
That woman was really persistent; she kept ringing the doorbell.
He then spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Pei Yang, I have something very important to discuss with you. It's about the shareholders' meeting vote this afternoon. Open the door quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayue frowned. What shareholders' meeting? He left so early today, could something have happened at work?
Thinking about it this way, Xu Jiayue stopped being petty and jealous, and got up to open the door.
Yan Yu was slightly taken aback when she saw her, then asked, "Is Brother Yang here?"
Yang Ge? They called him that very affectionately, without any hesitation.
Xu Jiayue looked at her calmly and said, "You can tell me whatever it is."
