When going downstairs, Jiang Yuzhu's steps were brisk, and her face looked fresh and natural.

She walked up to Pei Jingchuan with a smile: "Okay, we can set off."

Pei Jingchuan looked at her with admiration shining in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, gently took Jiang Yuzhu's hand, and led her out of the house.

As Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Jingchuan walked out of the house, their assistant, a young man in a neat suit, was already waiting in front of the door.

He saw the two people approaching, walked quickly and nimbly to the limousine parked in front of the door, and opened the door for them in a gentlemanly manner.

The assistant's actions were polite, professional and thoughtful.

He lowered his head slightly and said to them in a respectful tone: "Madam, Mr. Pei, the car is ready."

Jiang Yuzhu smiled and nodded to the assistant, expressing her gratitude. Pei Jingchuan also nodded to the assistant to express his approval.

Jiang Yuzhu got on the car lightly, and Pei Jingchuan sat next to Jiang Yuzhu.

The assistant gently closed the door, walked around to the driver's seat, and started the vehicle smoothly.

Inside the car, the atmosphere is peaceful and comfortable. The scenery outside the car window slowly flows by, and the sun shines through the window into the car, adding a touch of warmth to the journey.

The assistant's driving skills are skillful and the driving speed is moderate, ensuring a smooth journey.

He drove silently and attentively, occasionally watching the two of them through the rearview mirror to make sure their needs were being taken care of.

Jiang Yuzhu occasionally looked out the window, his mind seemed to be drifting into the distance.

Pei Jingchuan occasionally talked to her softly, his tone was gentle and sometimes humorous, trying to keep the atmosphere relaxed.

The car drove smoothly through the streets of the city. The conversation between Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu was relaxed and natural, and soft laughter came from time to time.

They talked about small daily things, occasionally mentioned Ye Qingning, and recalled the happy time during lunch.

Suddenly, the silence in the car was broken by a phone ringing.

Pei Jingchuan's cell phone vibrated gently in the pouch on the passenger seat. Even if the sound was not loud, it was enough to attract the two's attention.

Pei Jingchuan turned his head slightly and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone.

At this peaceful moment, Pei Jingchuan obviously did not want to be disturbed by outside interference.

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, his finger gently slid across the screen, and he hung up the phone.

His movements were calm, as if to express that at this moment, all his attention was on Jiang Yuzhu, who was with him.

Jiang Yuzhu noticed Pei Jingchuan's movements, and there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

She asked softly: "What is it? Do you need to pick it up?"

Pei Jingchuan turned to Jiang Yuzhu, his eyes full of tenderness and determination, "Don't worry, it's an unknown number."

When Jiang Yuzhu heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a happy smile.

In the warm atmosphere inside the car, suddenly the ringtone of another mobile phone rang, breaking the moment of peace.

This time, the sound comes from the assistant's phone. The assistant's expression immediately became a little embarrassed. He quickly picked up the phone and glanced at the screen.

His embarrassment was even more obvious when he saw the name on the caller ID.

The assistant secretly observed Pei Jingchuan's reaction in the rearview mirror, seeming to be hesitating whether to answer the call.

Pei Jingchuan didn't seem to notice this scene, or deliberately chose to ignore it. His attention was still focused on the conversation with Jiang Yuzhu, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Sensing Pei Jingchuan's indifference to the matter, the assistant felt relieved.

He pressed the hangup button quickly and decisively, then put the phone back in his pocket.

The assistant's actions tried not to attract the attention of the two. His professionalism allowed him to know how to maintain professional calm and agility in this situation.

The silence in the car was broken again soon after. This time the ringtone on the assistant's cell phone rang continuously, again and again, becoming more urgent.

The assistant's facial expression gradually changed from initial embarrassment to seriousness, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu noticed this scene and looked at each other with a trace of questioning in their eyes. Pei Jingchuan frowned slightly.

The assistant took a deep breath and seemed a little helpless, but finally decided to answer the call.

He gently pressed the answer button and put the phone close to his ear. His voice was kept as low as possible, but the importance of the call could be felt from his nervous expression.

"Hello,..." the assistant started the call, keeping his words deliberately brief and trying not to affect the atmosphere in the car.

As the assistant answered the phone, the atmosphere in the car suddenly changed subtly.

Although the assistant's voice was low, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was still faintly audible.

Pei Jingchuan's brows furrowed, and his face instantly turned serious after hearing a few words on the phone.

Jiang Yuzhu noticed the change in Pei Jingchuan. Her eyes were full of worry and she asked softly: "What's wrong, Jingchuan? What is it?"

Pei Jingchuan did not answer immediately. He stared at the assistant closely, with an unconcealable dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

The assistant seemed a little embarrassed under Pei Jingchuan's gaze. His fingers gripped the phone tightly, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and his words became trembling.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued, and the assistant's expression became increasingly stiff.

He seemed to realize his mistake, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He quickly looked away from the rearview mirror, trying to avoid eye contact with Pei Jingchuan.

As the call came through, the atmosphere in the car became more tense.

The voice on the other end of the phone was clear and sharp, and it was obvious that it was Pei Jingchuan's parents.

Their voices were full of anger, asking why Pei Jingchuan didn't answer their calls.

"Pei Jingchuan, what's your attitude? How dare you not answer our calls!" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of dissatisfaction.

Pei Jingchuan's face became more serious, and his eyes revealed a calmness.

He did not respond immediately, but listened silently to the accusations on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Yuzhu noticed Pei Jingchuan's nervousness, and a worried look appeared on her face.

She gently held Pei Jingchuan's hand, trying to comfort him.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued to ring. Pei Jingchuan's parents seemed angry at his silence. The voice became louder and louder, and the tone of blame and questioning became more intense.

The assistant looked increasingly embarrassed in the driver's seat, his hands clenching the steering wheel and his face pale.

Apparently, he realized he was complicating the situation by taking the call.

The voice on the other end of the phone became more shrill and angry. "Pei Jingchuan, are you mute? Why don't you say a word?!" Pei Jingchuan's father's voice was full of reproach.
