Pei Yu saw that she couldn't eat and his face darkened. "If you want your mother to go abroad for treatment smoothly, just eat your food."

Jiang Wan's eyes moved, and then she picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the food into her mouth in big mouthfuls.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Wan hurried to the sanatorium.

Pei Yu caught up with her and said, "Your mother should not have woken up yet. Sit down here for a while."

Jiang Wan looked at him for a while, probably afraid that he would go back on his word and give Xu Manzhi treatment, so she lowered her eyes and nodded.

"I'll perform a magic trick for you." Pei Yu suddenly said to her mysteriously.

As he said this, he spread out his palm and said, "Look, there's nothing."

Then he clenched his hand, turned his fist downward, snapped his fingers with his other hand, and when he opened his hand again, a candy appeared inside.

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows at her and asked proudly , " How is it?"

Jiang Wan suddenly burst out laughing, took the candy from his hand, pouted and said , " Do you think I'm a child? I can also play tricks on children."

When Pei Yu saw the smile on her face, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Oh? Really? Show me one."

Jiang Wan exposed his magic secret in public and covered it up.

Pei Yu smiled dotingly, "I didn't expect that you could see through the magic I've been practicing since I was a child."

Jiang Wan looked at him with disdain, peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth.

The two walked side by side.

"You know what? I learned this magic trick to please my dad." Pei Yu's voice was mixed with the cool night breeze, sounding a bit depressed.

Jiang Wan turned around and looked at him in surprise.

Pei Yu's father was rarely mentioned.

At least in the three years since they got married, he had never mentioned it, and I didn't seem to remember hearing Pei's mother mention it either.

She looked at him curiously, waiting for his next words.

Pei Yu's thoughts seemed to have drifted far away. "My father and mother were married for business, and they have no feelings for each other at all. That's why I was born unloved by my father."

"I was a slow learner when I was young, and I could only speak a few simple words until I was 30. Because of this, he hated me even more."

Jiang Wan looked at him steadily. When he said these things, it was as if he was stating someone else's affairs.

"He had a woman outside, so he often didn't come home, so I learned this magic trick for a whole half month, just to make him happy and want him to spend more time with me."

"Unfortunately, I was unlucky that day. His mistress happened to be in a car accident and became a vegetable. I still remember the look in his eyes at that time. It was like looking at an enemy. He locked me in the basement for five days without eating or drinking."

Jiang Wan opened her mouth, a trace of heartache in her eyes.

"If my grandfather hadn't found out, I would have died when I was four years old."

Pei Yu exhaled lightly, pursed his lips, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "But I have let go of all this. My father also got his retribution and died."

Although his tone was light, Jiang Wan could hear a hint of hatred between his words.

How can I not hate it?

He was only four years old at that time. He was locked in a dark basement for five days and five nights, without food or water. No one answered his calls. How desperate he must have been at that time.

Jiang Wan felt that Pei Yu was not much better than herself.

She asked , " So, where's your mother?"

He smiled and said, "How much do you think she likes me? Because I am over three years old and still can't speak. Her patience has been exhausted. Otherwise, how could I have been locked up for five days and five nights without being discovered by her?"

Jiang Wan felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart.

Now Pei's mother cares about Pei Yu, probably because he has become strong and excellent enough, and she needs to rely on him.

Jiang Wan still has a mother who loves her, but what about him?

No wonder he always acted indifferent in front of Pei's mother. If it were him, she probably wouldn't want him to even take a step into that house.

Jiang Wan didn't know what to say, and she also knew that Pei Yu didn't need comfort. She stared at the ground and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she found that the candy in her mouth tasted bitter.

Pei Yu stared at her profile for a long time.

"Wanwan, let's stop making trouble, okay?"

His voice was light and soft, falling into her ears along with the cool night breeze, like a desire.

Jiang Wan turned her head to meet his gaze, and saw a hint of grievance in his dark pupils.

Her heart suddenly softened and she nodded unconsciously.

Pei Yu's lips curved up, he put his arm around her shoulders, and kissed her forehead lightly like a dragonfly touching the water.

If we can always be this good.

Because his family is imperfect and his childhood was unhappy, he wants to be a good father and a good husband.

...

After that day, some subtle changes occurred in her relationship with Pei Yu.

Pei Yu seemed to really want to reconcile with her, and there were no rumors about him on the Internet for several days.

However, the young secretaries in the secretariat still enjoy coming up with ways to pester him every day.

Jiang Wan didn't care much about these things, as long as he didn't make the headlines every now and then, it was good enough.

The cell phone on the desk lit up. Jiang Wan stared at the computer screen and took a glance. It was a foreign phone number.

Jiang Wan frowned. She had no friends abroad, so she didn't take it seriously and just ignored the scam call until her phone went off automatically.

She picked up her things and prepared to go out. There was still a set of commercials that had not been filmed today, so she had to go to the set.

The door of the president's office suddenly opened, and the sound of enchanting high heels was heard. Looking up, I saw Secretary An leaning against Pei Yu, wishing she could stick her whole body to him.

Jiang Wan paused for a moment and her eyes met Pei Yu's.

"Hey, Mr. Pei, can you please lower yourself a little? I can't reach it!" Secretary An complained coquettishly while holding a tissue.

Pei Yu stared at Jiang Wan with an ambiguous look, but lowered his body obediently.

Secretary An smiled happily at Jiang Wan, "Secretary Jiang, President Pei and I are going to the Yuncheng Club for a meeting today. You have to do your job well even if President Pei is not here."

She had an inexplicable natural hostility towards Jiang Wan. Even though Jiang Wan acted non-competitive, she couldn't help but show off in front of her.

Jiang Wan had no expression on her face and nodded slightly, "Boss Pei, I have to go to the filming site today, so I'll leave first."

Pei Yu looked at her back and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Secretary An glanced at his watch and said, "Oh, Mr. Pei, if we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Pei Yu stepped forward and avoided Secretary An calmly.

"Boss Pei! Please wait for me! Please wait for me! I can hardly catch up with you!"
