Although she moved very quietly, Pei Ziheng woke up when she came out of the kitchen with the water. He leaned back on the sofa, and his dark eyes looked at her like two black jades.

"Did I wake you up? Go to the room upstairs and sleep." Shen Mingzhu asked with concern.

Pei Ziheng shook his head, his eyes fell on the water cup in her hand, and he said in a low voice with a hint of coquettishness: "I want to drink water."

Shen Mingzhu deliberately handed the cup over and said, "Drink it, I haven't had it yet."

"Thank you, Mom."

Seeing her son taking the cup and drinking water slowly, Shen Mingzhu felt relieved.

Pei Ziheng has some mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he doesn't like to share daily necessities with others. Normally, when Pei Yang uses chopsticks to pick up food for him, he refuses to eat and is willing to drink water from her cup, which obviously shows his trust and preference for her.

After Pei Ziheng finished drinking the water, Shen Mingzhu asked knowingly, "Why are you back?"

Pei Ziheng rarely joked, "I'm worried that you and your sister would fight."

"Only Guoguo can make you put down your work. I usually ask you to rest more and take good care of your health, but you don't listen to a word I say."

After she finished speaking, seeing Pei Ziheng staring at her intently, Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "Did I say something wrong?"

Pei Ziheng shook his head, a smile flashing in his eyes, "Mom, are you jealous?"

"Why should I be jealous?"

Shen Mingzhu said something in a scolding tone, and couldn't help but glance at the quiet second floor, "Is Guoguo asleep?"

"Mom is worried about Guoguo, why don't you go up and take a look yourself?"

Shen Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed when her son revealed her thoughts. She picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and wanted to drink it, but then she remembered that her son had already drunk it, so she got up and went to the kitchen to pour another cup.

"Mom, don't be angry with Guoguo. She is still young and will occasionally throw a tantrum. Just coax her and she will be fine."

"Just spoil her until she doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

"I don't want you to get upset over little things. You and Guoguo are the people I care about the most."

Looking at her son's delicate, handsome yet serious face, Shen Mingzhu's anger inexplicably dissipated.

After appeasing Shen Mingzhu, Pei Ziheng went back to the company to continue working.

Seeing the dark circles under his eyelids and the bloodshot eyes, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but feel distressed: "Now that you're back, take a rest for half a day. By the time you get back, it will be almost time to get off work."

"There are several options waiting for me to make a decision when I get back."

"Son, I know you have your own goals and ambitions, but haste makes waste. Your health is the capital of revolution. Water doesn't compete to be the first, but to keep flowing."

"Well, I understand. I will take good care of myself."

Shen Mingzhu was also an entrepreneur, and she knew that being in a high position meant that one had no choice but to do things and had responsibilities to shoulder, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

"Then come home early to eat after you finish your work. I'll make you something delicious in the evening."

"Um."

After sending her son away from home, Shen Mingzhu tiptoed up to the second floor.

My daughter's door was wide open. When I looked inside, no one was in the room.

Shen Mingzhu walked towards the study room in front.

When I arrived at the study, I saw through the glass window that my daughter was working hard at the large desk.

After watching quietly for a few seconds, Shen Mingzhu turned around, went downstairs, took the car keys and went out.

Half an hour later.

Shen Mingzhu returned home, put the cakes she bought on a small bone china plate, cut a portion of yogurt and fruit salad, and took it upstairs.

Sister Yu and Cui Lianying watched her go upstairs and breathed a sigh of relief.

"As a mother, how can I not feel sorry for my child?"

"That's right. There is no such thing as an overnight grudge between mother and daughter."

…

“Knock knock.”

Hearing the knock on the door, Pei Tang looked up and saw Shen Mingzhu standing outside the study door with her mouth slightly open.

"Aren't you going to ask Mom to come in?"

"Okay then, I won't bother you."

After Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, she really turned around and left.

Pei Tang was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly put down his pen, stood up and ran out of the study.

As soon as he stepped out of the study, he was hugged by Shen Mingzhu who was hiding by the door frame.

"Mother."

Feeling the warm embrace of his mother and the familiar fragrance he had smelled since childhood, Pei Tang's nose felt sore and tears began to fall.

Shen Mingzhu wiped the tears from her daughter's face and asked gently, "Are you hungry?"

Pei Tang shook his head subconsciously.

She ate a whole chicken burger, French fries and fried chicken legs, and her stomach was full.

But Ma realized that she couldn't let her mother know that she was "cheating", so she nodded hurriedly.

Shen Mingzhu did not expose her and brought out the cakes and fruits from the next room.

"Eat something and then continue writing."

"Um!"

Although he was not hungry, Pei Tang still ate his favorite cakes and yogurt and fruit salad until his belly was round.

After eating and drinking, he nestled in Shen Mingzhu's arms and acted coquettishly like a sated kitten.

Shen Mingzhu also enjoyed this kind of warmth, and she stroked her daughter's soft back with her palm gently.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't make you angry again."

"Um."

Shen Mingzhu kissed her daughter on the top of her head as a reward and hugged her tighter. "Baby, Mommy is not really mad at you. Mommy just hopes that you can be a responsible person and do what you say. Don't make promises easily if you are not sure you can do it. Do you understand?"

"Well, I will try my best to finish my homework!"

"Come on, Mom believes you can do it."

The mother and daughter reconciled.

After staying up all night for three nights, Pei Tang finally finished all his summer homework before school started, and he got two big dark circles under his eyes.

Pei Yang felt sorry for his daughter and thought Shen Mingzhu was a little too harsh on this matter. It was no big deal if the homework was not finished. After being scolded by Shen Mingzhu, she became obedient.

As the children went back to school, Shen Mingzhu had some free time and made an appointment with Zhong Qing and others to have morning tea.

"Have you lost some weight recently?"

Finally hearing someone praise her for being thin, Shen Mingzhu couldn't hide her good mood, "It seems that the cucumbers I ate this week were not in vain."

“Why are you eating cucumbers?”

"To lose weight."

Zhong Qing scolded: "You are not fat, why do you want to lose weight?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled: "The subtext of not being fat is not being thin."

Zhong Qing was amused by her words, "Why do you have to be so thin? I like you to be chubby, it makes you look cute."

"Back off, don't do this, no one can corrupt my determination to lose weight!"

Just as he finished speaking, the waiter came over with a mobile refreshments cart.

"Let's have one each first."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the snacks on the dining car, waved her hand, ordered them all, and also asked for some extra fried beef noodles and seafood porridge.

Yan Su sipped his tea and teased her: "Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight? Why did you order so much?"

Shen Mingzhu sipped her saliva at the delicious snacks on the table, "That's for after we're full."

The whole table was amused. (End of this chapter)
