"Brother Youhang!"
Chu Mengran was happy to receive a call from Pei Youhang.
She had a cold war with Pei Youhang for several days. She knew that Pei Youhang must have suspected that she instigated the three women to embarrass Yin Ning.
If he questioned her, she would admit it without hesitation.
But he didn't ask, which made Chu Mengran worried all day long. So she couldn't stand this state of worrying about gains and losses, and went directly to Pei Youhang to confess. Because of this, Pei Youhang became very angry.
He said that Yin Ning couldn't swim and she wanted her to die deliberately.
In order to ease the relationship between her and Pei Youhang, Chu Qiong called the two families together in the name of medical treatment.
But not long after, Pei Youhang returned to China for Yin Ning.
At this time, Chu Mengran already hated Yin Ning, but she happened to save Chu Qiong again. Chu Mengran couldn't find any fault with Yin Ning at all.
"Yes." Pei Youhang heard her voice, which was neither cold nor indifferent, "Where is Aunt Qiong?"
Chu Mengran: "My mother went for a check-up. Is there something urgent about Brother Youhang? You can tell me and I will tell you!"
Pei Youhang glanced at Yin Ning, her expression was full of kind expectation.
So he replied to Chu Mengran: "It's nothing. Tell Aunt Qiong that Yin Ning will accept it. You won't have to spend money next time. We are all part of the same family."
There was silence on the other end for two seconds.
Two seconds later, Chu Mengran's voice could be heard clearly even without the speakerphone on.
"Who is her family?"
"Brother Youhang, do you regard Yin Ning as a family member now? Then who do I mean?"
Yin Ning's expression became a little confused.
Pei Youhang's expression didn't change after all, and he took his cell phone and went outside.
After he left, Shu Jing smiled and shook her head.
"With you, you can kill someone but also kill your heart."
Yin Ning's face completely lost the innocence she had just in front of Pei Youhang.
"Are you okay in the Chu family? You didn't let them discover anything, right?"
"I'm fine." Shu Jing moved a chair and sat down beside her bed.
She said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Chu Qiong has not been in good health since she was transferred back to Shangjing from Winter City. The anti-corruption investigation here in Shangjing is very serious. She is very worried that one day she will be exposed, and her work will become worse. Be more cautious."
"But don't worry." She grabbed Yin Ning's hand, "She has already lost her ability, and boarding the Pei family's big ship is her best way out, but with you here, she will definitely not be able to get what she wants."
Yin Ning lowered her eyes, "But the Pei family won't like me either."
There are too many black spots on her body, and now she has the biggest black spot, Jiang Chenchen.
Shu Jing knew her current situation. She patted Yin Ning on the shoulder and said, "This is not a bad thing. Think about it, your father can watch you get involved with the Pei family? How could he? Aren’t you going to come out and stir up trouble?”
Yin Ning has always been used by Yin Xuefeng as a tool to gain connections. If Yin Ning has connections, Yin Xuefeng will definitely find ways to suck her blood. By then, the relationship with the Pei family will definitely be disturbed by him. Maybe with Yin Xuefeng's virtue, he would sell Yin Ning to Chu Qiong.
"But with Jiang Chenchen here, at least we can stabilize your father." Shu Jing looked at her seriously, "Ning Ning, be more open-minded. We have come this far, there is nothing we can't risk."
Yin Ning clenched her palms tightly, her eyes slowly becoming firmer.
The two didn't chat much. When Pei Youhang came in, Shu Jing was already ready to leave.
When there were only two people left, Yin Ning took the initiative to ask: "Are you okay? Shouldn't I let you make this call?"
Pei Youhang talked to Chu Mengran for a long time. In order to maintain the relationship between the two families, he could not say harsh words and could only express his determination to be with Yin Ning in a tactful way.
Chu Mengran understood and started crying and fussing over there, and said he would go to his parents for comment.
At this time, Pei Youhang couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, but he still forced a smile, "It's nothing."
Yin Ning looked at his state with heartache in her eyes.
"How about you take a break?"
"Um."
Yin Ning lifted the quilt and wanted to let him sleep on the bed, but Pei Youhang stopped her.
"Can we go together?" He smiled.
Only Pei Youhang said this to Yin Ning who would not feel offended. If it were Jiang Yanchen, she would only think that he had bad intentions.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Pei Youhang explained: "I want to take a good look at you. I haven't spent much time with you since I returned to China."
Yin Ning smiled back at him and happily gave him the other half of the bed.
Yin Ning is afraid of the cold and has to cover herself with a quilt even if the air conditioner is not turned on too low. Pei Youhang lay completely outside the quilt, maintaining a polite distance.
Yin Ning turned sideways to face him, "Are you very tired recently? Tell the truth."
Pei Youhang looks like an upright and excellent person, and his smile is more gentle and elegant.
"No."
Yin Ning boldly clasped hands with him, "If it's hard for your parents to accept me, it's okay for us to get married two years later."
Pei Youhang raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
Yin Ning nodded without hesitation.
"Your parents, Chu Mengran, Chu Qiong, and me. You are sandwiched between the rest of us, but what you really want to do is to complete your studies and continue scientific research. I don't want to see you delaying the career you love for me. .”
At the end of her sentence, her eyes were bright like a wounded deer.
Pei Youhang said: "No."
Yin Ning: "What's wrong?"
"No." Pei Youhang stroked her hair, "If you say that, I want to marry you home even more."
Yin Ning's ears instantly turned red.
Pei Youhang saw this and gently pinched the base of her hot ears.
"It's not all for you, but more for myself."
Yin Ning opened her smart eyes, waiting for him to continue.
"You also said that there are things I really want to do. But getting married and having children, in the eyes of my parents, are necessities in life."
"Ning Ning, only when I really get married can I really do what I want to do."
Yin Ning understood, and her smile was a little forced unconsciously.
She directly asked the most critical question between the two people.
"Then why didn't you follow your family's arrangements and stay with Chu Mengran?"
Pei Youhang turned around and changed from lying on his side to lying on his back.
Underneath his peaceful and elegant face was the rationality derived from countless formula calculations.
"Ning Ning, you are more suitable for me than Chu Mengran. She was chosen by her family, but I chose you myself."
Yin Ning had mixed feelings in her heart, but she still took the initiative to hug him and lay her pillow on his chest.
Not long after, the sound of Pei Youhang's even breathing reached his ears.
Yin Ning gently got up from him, turned her back to him and fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, night falls.
Pei Youhang's cell phone brought the two of them back to reality from their sleep.
Yin Ning woke up, but did not move, still maintaining her original posture.
Behind him, Pei Youhang answered the phone, his voice hoarse as if he had just woken up.
"Hello? Mom."
