Second Marriage and Pregnancy: CEO?

"Old lady, don't be angry." I took out the hand held by the old lady and put it on the back of her hand, and looked at the man who had stood up: "Pei Li, eat before you leave."

Not knowing whether it was because the old lady was angry or my persuasion had worked, Pei Li sat back in his original seat.

"Yan'er, it may take some time to prepare the dishes in the kitchen, why don't you ask Pei Li to take you back to your room to rest, and I'll let Wang Ma call you when I'm done."

Seeing me yawn, the old lady quickly gave Pei Li a wink.

"Grandma, I'm not sleepy. I slept all the way in the car before."

After all, it was the first time I came to Pei's house. Even considering that the old lady was caring for the child, I still wanted to leave a good impression and refused the proposal to go back to the room.

"Grandma, go back and rest too, I'll take her back to the room."

As soon as I finished speaking, Pei Li added another sentence against my intention, as if he didn't hear what I said.

Immediately afterwards, in front of the old lady and Wang Ma, Pei Li took my hand and led me towards the stairs.

It wasn't until he entered the room that he let go of the hand holding me, left me aside and went into the bathroom.

My palm still has the warmth of Pei Li's palm, and even the tip of my nose is his scent.

The sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom made me think about it, and for a moment my cheeks burned like a fire, worried that I would be seen by Pei Li, so I quickly looked around, trying to find a mirror.

The decoration of Pei Li's room is very simple, only black and white. Although it is very neat and clean, it is like a hotel room, with no temperature at all.

The sound of water in the bathroom had stopped, and I looked around and couldn't find a mirror, so I started to look for it from the bedside table.

"What are you looking at?"

Sure enough, before I managed to find the mirror, Pei Li had already walked out of the bathroom.

Hearing the sound, I put down the photo frame in my hand in a panic, but unexpectedly, an unstable photo frame fell to the ground.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to!"

The photo frame was made of crystal and fell on the wooden floor without any damage, but the lock next to it fell open, and a note fell out from behind the photo.

'Pei Li, I like you. '

"Don't touch it!"

"I'm sorry, let me clean up for you—"

Pei Li rushed over, pushed me away, and snatched the note from my hand.

In order to pick up the photo frame, I kept squatting. Although Pei Li's push was useless, it made me hit the edge of the bed firmly.

There was a burning pain behind my back, and I guessed that it must have scratched the skin.

"Who told you to touch the things in my room?!"

Pei Li didn't notice the painful expression on my face, but scolded me hysterically while clutching the note.

This is indeed my fault, and I can only bear Pei Li's scolding in silence.

But the moment I lowered my eyes, I saw clearly the face of the girl standing next to the boy Pei Li in the photo frame.

Later, I didn't catch a word of what Pei Li said, and I still couldn't recover from the shock until he left the room.

Is that person——Zhou Yue?

Childhood memories came to me like a tide, and all the memories related to Zhou Yue reappeared in the dusty corner.

I always thought that Zhou Yue was already dead after escaping at the age of six, and even Zhang’s mother in the orphanage told me so, but——

"Is Miss Qin there? Dinner is ready. The old lady asked me to call you and the young master downstairs for dinner."

Before I had time to organize my thoughts, Wang Ma's knock on the door interrupted everything, and I hurriedly stood up from the ground.

"hiss--"

It was only when I got up suddenly that I remembered the scratch on my back, and the pain made me slow down.

"Wang Ma, Pei Li is not in the room, you can look in other rooms."

When I got to the door, Mama Wang had been waiting outside the door for quite a while.

"The young master heard my voice just now, and he has already gone downstairs. Now everyone is waiting in the hall, only Miss Qin is left alone."

After hearing Wang Ma's words, I felt very uncomfortable.

Pei Li must still be angry, how should I face him at the dinner table later.

Thinking about it, I still quickened my pace and followed Mama Wang downstairs. After entering the dining room, I realized that the "everyone" that Mama Wang said earlier was not only referring to Pei Li and grandma.

"Hey, this is Pei Li's daughter-in-law, she looks really juicy!"

A middle-aged woman in fancy clothes and heavy makeup came towards me. Although what she said was a compliment to me, I didn't like it.

"Yan'er, this is Pei Li's sister-in-law. Even though you are not married yet, let's call you sister-in-law first."

Seeing the happy family, the old lady seemed to be in a good mood.

"Oh, our Pei family hasn't been this lively for many years. It's my biggest wish as an old man to sit together and have a potluck."

After I took my seat, the old lady let out a long sigh, and Wang Ma went in and out busy preparing the kitchen to serve food. There were at least 20 people around the big round table in the dining room.

"This is your second sister-in-law, second cousin Mu Jun, fourth cousin Mu Hai, and Mu Ziqiong, Pei Qi—"
