When Shen Mingzhu saw Shen Hongmei coming into the office with a sad face, she had a bad feeling.

"How about it?"

Without waiting for Shen Hongmei to answer, Pei Yang walked in with a half-smile on his face, "She lied and tried to deceive the leader, so I punished her to write a 1,000-word self-criticism and deduct this month's bonus. What do you think of my punishment, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

She gave Shen Hongmei a sympathetic and guilty look, "You go out first, I'll talk to Vice President Pei."

After Shen Hongmei left, Shen Mingzhu walked up to Pei Yang and pushed him to sit on the sofa, but after pushing for a long time, the man didn't move at all.

Shen Mingzhu stopped what she was doing and looked up at him, "Are you angry?"

Pei Yang sneered, "You are quite self-aware. You know that what you did makes people angry."

Shen Mingzhu hugged his waist flatteringly and rubbed his bulging belly against him, "Don't be angry, I can explain."

Pei Yang pushed her aside and said, "I don't have time to listen now."

As he said that, he took out the key, opened the drawer and took out the official seal.

Shen Mingzhu watched him stuff the official and private seals into his briefcase, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Pei Yang picked up his briefcase, walked up to her, and said condescendingly: "I'll go sign the shop first."

Before Shen Mingzhu could feel happy, she heard the man's mocking tone: "Otherwise, it would be a shame for your courage and determination to take risks with your child, right?"

Shen Mingzhu subconsciously touched her belly: "...I didn't take any risks. I only went out after I made sure that I was fine."

"We'll talk about this when we get home."

Looking at the tall back of the man walking with big strides, Shen Mingzhu always felt that what he wanted to express was "I'll settle the score with you when I get home."

It doesn’t matter, she is pregnant now, he doesn’t dare to do anything to her.

If worst comes to worst, she still has her son to help her.

Shen Mingzhu comforted herself silently.

…

Yan Yi washed his hands, and personally used a lotus leaf pancake to wrap a piece of crispy-skinned and tender roast duck, wrapped it up, and handed it to Yan Su's plate.

"The roast duck here is very authentic, and the sauce tastes good, comparable to Quanjude in the capital."

Yan Su picked up the wrapped lotus leaf pancake, dipped it in the sauce in front of him, opened his mouth and took a bite.

The duck meat has crispy skin and tender meat, and is served with cucumber strips, green onion shreds and sweet noodle sauce. It is refreshing and delicious, with a hint of spiciness in the fresh fragrance, and is very appetizing.

Yan Su was very satisfied with the meal, but looked at Yan Yi with a teasing look.

"It seems that I have to thank Shen Mingzhu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have such a roast duck."

Yan Yi calmly explained, "This restaurant has just opened. I wanted to invite you to taste it these days. It has nothing to do with other people."

After a pause, he added: "But I do want to thank you."

Yan Su sneered, "Forget it. I'm not helping her because of you. I just feel sorry for her. She's pregnant and still running around every day. I don't know what her husband does for a living. If he doesn't have the ability, don't let a woman give birth to a child."

As far as Yan Yi could remember, he had never heard Yan Su speak in such a sarcastic tone, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Yan Su scolded him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Sister, I actually think she's quite good this way."

"I don't want her to be confined to the family because of childbearing. I hope she can live comfortably and do what she wants at any time."

As a woman, it was difficult for Yan Su to disagree with her younger brother's words.

Isn't freedom the ultimate pursuit of human beings, whether it is physical, mental, or action?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she admires Shen Mingzhu.

That’s right, she helped Shen Mingzhu not out of sympathy or pity, but out of admiration.

She looks like a delicate flower, but she is as tough and tenacious as a weed.

…

Looking at the shop lease contract still smelling of ink, Shen Mingzhu felt both happy and nervous.

"There won't be any problems this time, right?"

Pei Yang looked at her with amusement, "What's the problem? They've already stamped it out, how can they deny it?"

Too.

She even considered taking it to Chen's house. There was a big safe at Chen's house, and there was always someone at home, so there was no need to worry about thieves.

Upon learning of her concerns and worries, Pei Yang laughed and said that she was once bitten by a snake and would be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Finally, with Pei Yang's persuasion, Shen Mingzhu decided to put the contract and receipt in the safe in the finance office.

Official business should be handled in an official manner. If she left important documents at home and they were stolen or something unexpected happened, she would not be able to explain to others.

What's more, the food factory has strengthened security measures and has night guards, so the possibility of being robbed is very small.

…

As soon as Pei Yang came back, the dinner table at home became full again.

Dinner consisted of two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a crucian carp and tofu soup.

After dinner, Shen Mingzhu anxiously waited for Pei Yang to question her, but Pei Yang, as usual, calmly cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen, then took her downstairs for a walk. They only talked about her and her family, and never mentioned her secretly going out to work.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Mingzhu knew very well that the fact that he didn't ask was definitely not because he had forgotten or didn't care, but because he was holding back his anger.

After returning home from a walk, she took the initiative to pull Pei Yang into the room and said, "Don't be angry. Being angry will make you old."

Pei Yang looked down at her condescendingly, "Before I left, what did I tell you? And what did you promise me? Tell me about it."

Shen Mingzhu lowered her chin on his chest and acted like a little girl, "I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again."

Under normal circumstances, if she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Pei Yang would have hugged her shyly.

But there was no response today.

Shen Mingzhu reluctantly stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin, her slender white fingertips circling along his chest muscles.

In late spring and early summer, Pei Yang wore only a shirt. Through the thin cotton fabric, she could clearly feel the man's muscle strength and hot body temperature.

Seeing his eyes gradually become dark and dangerous, Shen Mingzhu's movements became more outrageous.

"What do you want to do?"

Pei Yang grabbed her hand that was hooking the belt.

Shen Mingzhu blinked, her cheeks pink, "The doctor said that it's okay to be careful..."

"Don't try to be so rude. Just reflect on your problems."

Pei Yang took her hand away, and his look of rejection made him look like an ice sculpture that didn't understand romance.

Okay, okay, you don’t like soft food, right?

Shen Mingzhu shook off the man's hand and said angrily, "I'm not a prisoner. What's wrong with me going out? Why can't you let me go out? The child is mine, and I will be responsible for her. If you have the ability, go and have the baby yourself!"

After saying that, she walked to the bed, rolled up her pillow and quilt, and prepared to sleep in her son's room tonight.

Pei Yang stopped her and asked, "What are you doing?"

Staring at the man's handsome and deep face, Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized why she was rolling up her bedding. She must have been stupid because of her pregnancy.

She threw her pillow and quilt back onto the bed, walked around to the other side of the bed, and rolled up Pei Yang's bedding and pillow.

"You get out."

Pei Yang threw his things aside and hugged her. "Can you be reasonable? When did I stop you from going out? Didn't we divide the work in advance? You take care of the things in the factory, and I take care of the things outside. As a husband, I should ensure the safety of you and the child. Isn't that right?"

Shen Mingzhu touched her belly angrily, "I am very careful every time I go out, even when I walk, I avoid people."

Pei Yang looked at her pale face, his eyes softened, "Mingzhu, people have things to do at every stage. What you need to do now is to take good care of the baby. You will have plenty of time to make money in the future, and we can talk about business later. But if something happens to you and the baby, it cannot be made up. I just don't want you to regret it in the future."

Shen Mingzhu thought about it calmly and found that what the man said made sense.

If something really happened to the child during the time she was away, she would probably regret and blame herself for the rest of her life and would never be able to forgive herself.

"I understand. I won't care about what's going on outside until I give birth to the baby."

Pei Yang let her go, turned around to lock the door, and raised his hand to unbutton his shirt.

"What are you doing?"

"you."

Pei Yang took off his belt and threw it on the ground. "Come on, continue what you didn't finish just now."

Shen Mingzhu covered her face shyly.
