Pei Yang hastily denied, "I not only thought about Shen Baolan, but also about Shi Ting's mother who spread gossip about me, and my second sister-in-law who always wanted to take advantage of you..."

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Yang Lizhen, she is no longer my second sister-in-law."

He could hear the strong threat in his wife's words, as if if he dared to say one more word, he would be the next one to be replaced.

Pei Yang didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. "Wife, I was just kidding you. I can't think enough of you. How can I have time to think about other irrelevant people?"

Shen Mingzhu gave him a look that said "you'd better be".

Under the moonlight, her appearance and demeanor were not gentle at all, and even a little fierce, but Pei Yang was full of love for her, not even blinking, as if he could not see enough of her.

Her voice softened unconsciously. "Mingzhu, tell me about your family, your food factory, and what you did while I was away."

Shen Mingzhu thought about it, from her preparation for the self-study exam, to Yang Lizhen's fake pregnancy, Shen Chaobei and his wife moving to the city, the Yang family's mischief, Shen Xiangnan's divorce and setting up a food factory, Pei Ziheng skipping a grade and entering the first grade, and Zhou Shuhuan's divorce.

I didn’t realize it before, but now that I look back on them one by one in detail, I realize that so many things have happened in just half a year.

After listening to this, Pei Yang couldn't help but sigh silently: Zhou Shuhuan's wife is too troublesome. If he married such a trouble-making wife, he might as well just die in the Pacific Ocean to avoid having to come back and worry about it.

By the time Du Juan had finished cleaning up, Shen Chaobei was almost sober, so the two families went home.

…

The bright moon above their heads is like a beacon, illuminating the way home for the family of three.

Pei Ziheng walked in the middle, holding his mother's left hand and his father's right hand, and his short legs walked particularly happily.

Although it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, the family compound was very lively. There were several tables set up, and the tables were filled with snacks such as moon cakes, melon seeds and sugar cakes brought from home.

The news of Pei Yang's return spread throughout the family compound in the afternoon.

It is not uncommon to see a family of three walking home hand in hand.

After the family of three walked away, the topic of Pei Yang's failure was inevitably mentioned.

"Pei Yang's family is really pitiful. When the man is not at home, they are always bullied. When the man comes back, he is of no use."

"Pei Yang is still so young, so the problem should be curable, right?"

"It's hard to say. Some people are born with defects and no matter how you treat them, it won't work."

These words caused many people to sympathize with Shen Mingzhu and sigh.

Such a young, beautiful girl, living like a widow every day, no wonder she is tossing and turning, otherwise what else can you expect? ...

After a tiring day, Shen Mingzhu boiled some water, took a bath, and went back to her room to rest.

Pei Yang and his son took a shower together, and after that they returned to Pei Ziheng's room together.

Pei Ziheng sat on the bed, swinging his short legs while watching Pei Yang pack his luggage. The little boy asked in a crisp voice, "Dad, you don't want to sleep in the same room with me, do you?"

Pei Yang turned around and looked at his son teasingly, "Do you have a way to stop me from sleeping with you?"

Pei Ziheng nodded.

Pei Yang immediately stopped packing his luggage and leaned in front of his son, "Tell me in detail."

Pei Ziheng jumped off the bed, wrapped the small pillow with a small quilt, picked it up, and ran out after saying "I'm going to sleep with my mom, you sleep alone."

Pei Yang: “…”

Shit! The next room.

Shen Mingzhu was applying facial cream when she saw her son running over with a small quilt and pillow. She was wondering when she heard her son complain in a very aggrieved tone, "Dad said he doesn't want to sleep in the same room with me."

Why is this bastard so annoying? Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, and gently comforted her son, "Then sleep with me."

"Um!"

Pei Ziheng spread his small quilt on one side of the bed as if he were in the right place, then climbed up and lay down obediently.

"Mom, I'm going to sleep first, good night."

"Yeah, good boy."

After finishing her skin care, Shen Mingzhu stood up and prepared to turn off the lights. As soon as she reached the door, Pei Yang was standing there with a quilt and pillow in his arms.

She looked at him, "What are you doing?"

"I'm afraid of the dark. I don't want to sleep alone."

After saying that, without waiting for her response, he forced his way into the room holding the quilt and strode to the bed.

Pei Yang is a little brave, but not much.

The whole action was done in one go, in no more than five seconds, and Shen Mingzhu had no time to speak.

"Wife, I'm going to sleep first, good night."

Pei Ziheng looked at his father and sneered, "You copied the homework quite well."

Pei Yang reached out and wiped his son's eyelids down, "Go to sleep."

Pei Ziheng: Just go to sleep, why do you use the gesture of closing the eyes of a dead person? Shen Mingzhu stared at the two people, one big and one small, who occupied two-thirds of her bed. She rolled her eyes speechlessly, but did not say anything to chase them away.

After turning off the lights, Shen Mingzhu lay down on the bed in the moonlight outside the window.

Pei Ziheng was small and very sleepy, so he fell asleep quickly in the quiet and comfortable environment.

But for Shen Mingzhu, this night was destined to be a sleepless one.

It was hard to tell whether it was the moonlight outside the window that was too bright and gentle, or the person lying next to her that made her feel uneasy.

"Pearl."

"what?"

Shen Mingzhu turned her head and found that Pei Yang was also tilting his head to look at her, his deep eyes flashing brightly in the darkness.

Much like an animal.

"I can't sleep."

"If you can't sleep, count the stars."

"How many?"

"Whatever you want."

"Can I count something else?"

Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to reply, Pei Ziheng, who was lying between them, sat up straight.

"It's so noisy, can you guys go outside and talk?"

Shen Mingzhu hurriedly carried her son back to the bed and laid him flat, coaxing him gently, "I'm sorry, son. We won't say anything more. Just continue to sleep, dear."

With her gentle soothing words, Pei Ziheng's breathing soon became even and steady.

Pei Yang didn't utter a word the whole time, but his eyes never left her.

His eyesight was excellent, and with the moonlight coming in from the window, he could almost clearly see his wife's eyebrows, eyes, facial features, and even her expression. She was even more gentle and charming than he had imagined day and night, making his chest burn with heat.

After coaxing her son, Shen Mingzhu lay down and prepared to sleep, but unexpectedly Pei Yang reached over her son and grabbed her.

She turned her head and saw Pei Yang gesturing towards the door.

I'm going to sleep.

Shen Mingzhu pulled back her hand, silently expressing her refusal.

After responding, she closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.

She hadn't slept for ten seconds when her body was picked up into the air. As soon as she opened her eyes, her lips were blocked by the man's hot lips.

Pei Yang didn't want to take advantage of her, but he was afraid that she would wake up his sleeping son.

Shen Mingzhu also didn't want to disturb her son anymore, so she could only watch the man carry her out of the room.

After leaving the room, Shen Mingzhu immediately broke free from Pei Yang's arms, closed the bedroom door with her backhand, and then glared at him.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Yang lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were very gentle, "I want to have a good conversation with you."

Shen Mingzhu was speechless, "Isn't it enough after talking so much tonight?"

"Not enough, you only talked about your own things, and you haven't even listened to my story about my time at sea..."

Pei Yang raised his injured left hand to show her, looking a little aggrieved, "You don't even know how I got injured."

Looking at the hideous scar on the man's arm, Shen Mingzhu's heart inexplicably tightened.
