Jiang Heshu looked up at Pei Yan with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Is there anything important the day after tomorrow?"
Nothing important, except that it was his birthday.
Looking at Jiang Heshu's clear and dark eyes, Pei Yan pursed his lips slightly. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's okay."
After Pei Yan left for the study, Jiang Heshu raised the corners of his lips and revealed a smile.
An hour later, Jiang Heshu received a message from Pei Yan.
"Get my ID card for me. It's in the second drawer on the left side of the bedroom."
A few minutes later, Jiang Heshu handed him his ID card with a normal expression.
Pei Yan looked at her for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes to look at the date of birth on the ID card, saying nothing.
After taking a shower in the evening, Jiang Heshu was doing skin care, and Pei Sui'an walked up to Jiang Heshu.
She said in a cheerful tone, with eyes full of expectation: "Mom, daddy is celebrating his birthday! Can mommy buy daddy a super big cake?"
Hearing this, Jiang Heshu asked: "How did Suisui know that daddy was celebrating his birthday?"
"It's dad..." As soon as Pei Sui'an said these two words, he thought of something and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Her father had warned her not to tell her mother.
Pei Sui'an's thoughts were written on his face, and Jiang Heshu understood it instantly.
She couldn't help but feel funny. Grandma Pei really didn't accuse Pei Yan wrongly at first. He was just a boring man.
He clearly didn't want her to return to City Z on her birthday, but he still refused to tell her the reason directly. He deliberately asked her to get her ID card. Seeing that she hadn't found out yet, he told Pei Sui'an and asked Pei Sui'an to tell her.
Jiang Heshu glanced in the direction of the study. He didn't know what he thought of, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.
After Pei Sui'an fell asleep, Jiang Heshu turned around and hugged the man behind him.
She asked: "Is your birthday the day after tomorrow?"
Pei Yan said 'hmm' calmly.
Jiang Heshu complained: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I made an agreement with Ruirui to go to the cemetery to see grandma that day, so it's not easy to break the agreement. Can I make it up to you when I come to City A next time?"
In the darkness, Jiang Heshu clearly felt that after he said these words, the pressure on Pei Yan's body dropped a lot.
The next second, a man's calm and calm voice sounded in his ears.
"I never miss my birthday, so there's no need to make it up. You can go back to see grandma."
His tone was the same as before, and there was no hint of displeasure, but Jiang Heshu saw the man's overly cold eyebrows through the dim light.
Jiang Heshu just pretended that he didn't notice anything, moved closer and kissed his face, "Okay then, good night."
After saying that, she found a familiar position in the man's arms and fell asleep quickly.
Listening to her gentle breathing, the breath around Pei Yan became deeper, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
Soon, it will be the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Heshu booked a flight for ten in the morning. Pei Yan did not go to work, but was going to take her and Pei Sui'an to the airport.
Pei Yue and Mu Xueqing also came, and they were very reluctant to leave: "Sister-in-law, why don't you stay a little longer?"
"Sister Heshu, you might as well settle in City A."
Jiang Heshu smiled and said: "It's getting late. Suisui and I will go register first. I'll send you a message when we get to Z City."
After saying that, she took the suitcase from Pei Yan.
Pei Yan suddenly covered his lips and coughed.
Jiang Heshu asked quickly: "What's wrong with you?"
He coughed and said, "The temperature has dropped in the past few days. Maybe I have a cold. You and Suisui should go back. I'm fine."
Jiang Heshu was a little worried, "Are you really okay?"
Pei Yan shook his head, "It's okay, it's just a minor cold. You'll be fine after taking medicine for a few days."
He was calm and gentle, but there was a trace of unnoticeable expectation in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Heshu.
Jiang Heshu hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, if you feel any discomfort, remember to go to the hospital. Suisui and I will go back first."
After saying that, she held Pei Sui'an in one hand and the suitcase in the other, and left without looking back.
"..."
Pei Yan looked at Jiang Heshu's back, his eyebrows were cold and solemn, his eyes were bottomless, and his whole body was exuding a strong cold air.
Pei Yue asked cautiously: "Brother Yan, let's go to the hospital to get some cold medicine?"
The man's thin lips moved slightly and he uttered two cold words: "No need."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Pei Yue and Mu Xueqing behind them looked at each other and quickly looked away.
Pei Yan returned to the company, and from a distance, the assistant felt the low pressure on him.
Several people immediately sounded the alarm in their hearts, breathing much softer and trying to reduce their sense of existence.
When Pei Yan returned to the office, they breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, he saw a group of people walking towards Pei Yan's office.
Seeing the leading woman, the assistants looked at each other, lowered their eyes and said nothing.
If it were someone else, they would kindly remind her, but the person in front of them is not someone else, but the 'old witch' that everyone hates, and it's too late for them to watch the fun!
Sure enough, not long after the 'old witch' led the people into the office, a man's voice could be heard yelling.
After a few more minutes, the 'old witch' led the people out in disgrace.
When she saw several assistants, she immediately became angry and walked over on her high heels.
"Why didn't you remind me that Mr. Pei was in a bad mood?"
The assistant curled his lips and said, "You didn't even ask us!"
If it were anyone else who came to see Pei Yan, they would definitely ask them where Pei Yan was and whether he was free.
But the 'old witch' was different. Every time she came over, she went straight to Pei Yan's office. Pei Yan was busy before, so they stopped them several times, but she got scolded by the 'old witch'.
From then on, they ignored the 'old witch'.
They all work for Pei Yan, so why does the 'old witch' curse people regardless of right or wrong? What is so noble about her?
Seeing that her assistant was ignoring her, Lin Qingge was very angry.
She was about to say something with a sullen face, but the assistants turned around and returned to their workstations, treating her as nothing.
This made Liu Ge so angry, "How dare you do this to me? Believe it or not, I will ask Mr. Pei to fire you all!"
Hearing this, the assistants were not afraid at all, and even picked up the phone and said, "Then I'll ask Mr. Pei if he wants to fire us."
Another assistant said: "Xiao Li, do you want to die? Mr. Lin is Mr. Pei's cousin. She wants to fire us. It's just a matter of words."
This is something Liu Ge is used to saying.
She often uses her identity as Pei Yan's cousin to make things difficult for others and threaten them with lessons. This is why everyone calls her the 'Old Witch'.
In fact, Liu Ge is just Liu Qian's cousin. Now that Liu Qian and Pei Luying have disappeared, Liu Ge's backer is gone, what else can he be proud of?
Liu Ge was scolded by Pei Yan and pushed aside by his assistant. When he returned to the office, he was so angry that he smashed all the documents on the table to the ground.
But he was still upset, so Liu Ge took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
The moment the call was connected, her tone suddenly softened.
"Qianqian, have you and Jiayi settled in? Let's have a meal together when I get off work? I just wanted to ask you about your next plans..."
——
Pei Yan left the company at eight o'clock in the evening.
When I got home, the house was empty and extremely quiet.
Aunt Liu took a leave of absence and went home today. Jiang Heshu and Pei Sui'an, who he usually saw when he got home from get off work, were not there either.
Pei Yan looked at the empty room and felt uncomfortable.
After a long time, he poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa.
