Just as he was about to walk towards his wife and son, someone suddenly rushed out and hugged him.

Everything happened too fast and too suddenly.

Pei Yang, whose attention was all on Shen Mingzhu, was completely unprepared and caught off guard.

Even at the moment he was hugged, his eyes were still on Shen Mingzhu, so he clearly saw the changes in Shen Mingzhu's expression.

"Hey, Brother Yang, this is my sister-in-law. She's so pretty."

A crew member looked at the two people hugging each other and laughed and joked. Pei Yang woke up and pushed the person in his arms away.

"ah--"

A soft cry.

"Pei Yang, it's me!"

Wang Xiuzhu, who was pushed and staggered, spoke out quickly.

Pei Yang stared at Wang Xiuzhu for a few seconds before he recognized her. Compared with the last time they met, Wang Xiuzhu today not only wore makeup but also had her hair permed, looking overly mature.

"Xiu-Joo?"

"Well, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, he was pushed aside again and fell hard.

Pei Ziheng is not big, but he is very strong.

"Daddy, hug me!"

Looking at his son who opened his arms to him, Pei Yang didn't care about Wang Xiuzhu who fell. He dropped his luggage, bent down, picked up his son, turned around a big circle before holding him in his arms, looking at his son with a smile on his face.

His face became paler, he gained more flesh, and his body became heavier.

Pei Ziheng's dark eyes stared at the familiar and kind face in front of him without blinking, and tears slowly welled up in his eyes.

He finally saw his father!

"Wow, Dad, I miss you so much..."

Pei Yang reached out his hand to wipe his son's tears. "Be good, don't cry. I'm back now. When did you come?"

"I've been here for many days, waiting for you..."

Wang Xiuzhu got up from the ground and watched the father and son talking affectionately without disturbing them. Instead, she walked towards Shen Mingzhu proudly.

"See? Pei Yang only cares about Ziheng. He doesn't care about you at all because he has no feelings for you."

"Shen Mingzhu, you are a rural woman with no background, no education, and no ability. You can't be of any help to Pei Yang. But I am different from you. My uncle is a first-class navigator and my uncle is the director of the Maritime Administration. I can not only give Pei Yang a perfect marriage, but also help him take his career to the next level. You can't compete with me. If you are willing to withdraw, I can help you arrange a job and move your household registration to the city. This is my sincerity. I hope you will consider it carefully."

These days, urban hukou is very popular. Having an urban hukou is equivalent to having a stable job, being able to eat public food, and receiving various tickets.

"Wang Xiuzhu, are you mentally ill or do you think I am mentally ill? I can get the same things you mentioned, such as work and household registration, by marrying Pei Yang, so why should I divorce him?"

Wang Xiuzhu's face turned cold. "Shen Mingzhu, I said all the nice things, but since you won't listen, don't blame me for using force before courtesy. I, Wang Xiuzhu, have never failed to get what I want."

"What?"

Pei Yang walked over holding Pei Ziheng, his deep eyes fell on Shen Mingzhu's face with a bit of joy.

"We had a few intimate words between women, but it's not convenient to tell you men."

Wang Xiuzhu said jokingly, glanced at Shen Mingzhu, and said softly to Pei Yang: "Pei Yang, come to my house for dinner later. Last time when we had dinner, didn't you say that the salt-baked shrimp I made was delicious? I specially prepared this dish today, and the shrimp is bigger than last time. I guarantee it will taste good."

Pei Yang subconsciously looked at Shen Mingzhu, and saw no signs of anger or jealousy on her face, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still felt a little uncomfortable after the relief.

He remembered what his master had said on the boat: the reason women are generous and considerate is because they don't care.

"Xiuzhu, I understand. You go back with the master first. We will go there later."

"Well, Pei Yang, come over earlier. I have something to tell you."

After Wang Xiuzhu finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Pei Yang's response.

“Pearl…”

Pei Yang nodded, turned around and tried to pick up the luggage bag on the ground. Shen Mingzhu asked him to hold Pei Ziheng and she would carry it.

So Pei Yang held Pei Ziheng in his arms, Shen Mingzhu carried the luggage bag, and the family of three walked towards the port.

Along the way, Pei Yang met many familiar people who greeted him one by one. Pei Yang responded with a smile and introduced the identities of the mother and son.

The port is not far from the ocean-going staff dormitory, and it only takes five or six minutes to walk there.

Pei Yang meant to walk back so that the three of them could talk while walking, but Shen Mingzhu insisted on taking a rickshaw. A rickshaw could only seat two people, so Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Yang to hold Pei Ziheng in one rickshaw while she sat in another one alone.

Shen Mingzhu called the first car, and as soon as she got in, she asked the driver to go away, with no intention of waiting for Pei Yang and his son.

Watching the rickshaw disappear into the distance, Pei Yang came to his senses belatedly.

"Is your Aunt Mingzhu angry?"

Pei Ziheng hugged Pei Yang's neck tightly, his dark eyes blinking, "Dad, you are not too stupid."

Pei Yang pinched his nose and said, "How can you talk like that? You are so disrespectful."

Pei Ziheng smiled expressionlessly, "Dad, you still have the energy to scold me here. Go back slowly. Aunt Mingzhu might have already taken the train home."

“…”

Pei Yang immediately called a rickshaw and walked back to the dormitory with his son.

Shen Mingzhu was indeed feeling uncomfortable, but she would not impulsively pack up and leave.

Now I'm going back alone and spending the holiday in the family compound. Not only will it be lonely, but I don't know how people in the family compound will make fun of me behind my back.

She would be even less willing to go back to her parents' home.

No matter what, I have to spend the Spring Festival here before going back.

After coming here, she bought a lot of things, including a lot of clothes, filling up Pei Yang's small closet.

Considering that it was inconvenient for Pei Yang to put his luggage, she took out her own luggage bag and prepared to put some clothes in the closet into it first, leaving some space for Pei Yang to put his things.

Halfway through the formal dress, Pei Yang ran back, panting, holding his son.

As soon as he saw her packing her luggage, Pei Yang immediately put down his son and walked towards her.

Shen Mingzhu was a little frightened by the man's aggressive look and stepped back instinctively.

Pei Yang took the clothes from her hand, stuffed them into the closet, then bent down and picked her up.

"ah!"

The sudden loss of weight made Shen Mingzhu scream, and before she could react, Pei Yang carried her to the balcony.

Pei Yang carefully placed her on the railing and put his long arms around her waist.

The railings of the dormitory building were made of bricks, and were as wide as a small bench. With Pei Yang's hands around her, it was actually quite stable. But when Shen Mingzhu thought about the fact that there was something seven or eight meters above her, she became very nervous.

"What are you doing?!"

She glared at him angrily.

"I want to talk to you."

Pei Yang looked at her with sharp eyes, and there was a hint of smile in his deep voice, but Shen Mingzhu was furious.

"Are you sick? Who is sitting on the balcony and talking? What if someone falls down?"

"If not, you won't listen to me properly."

“…”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Pei Yang's voice was full of smiles, and seemed to be coaxing a little, "As long as you don't move, you won't fall."

“…”

Okay, after confirming with my eyes, I found that the dog man was a bit overbearing and forced on me.
