I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Pei Yanqing tried his best to sound calm, but he couldn't hide the urgency in it.

"Mengling, sister-in-law, we need to go back now. It's getting late. We have been out for a long time."

After hearing this, Meng Ling and Jiang Yuzhu couldn't get out of the pleasant atmosphere just now.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled mischievously and said, "Oh, Yan Qing, we have such a happy day and it's rare to relax. Can't you wait for a while?"

Mengling also echoed, "Yes, Yan Qing, it's not completely dark yet, how about we play for a while? It's a rare occasion to come out."

Pei Yanqing stood in the afterglow of the sunset, with two friends in front of him who were still immersed in happy times and refused to leave.

Their laughter and relaxed attitude were in sharp contrast to Pei Yanqing's inner anxiety.

At this moment, Pei Yanqing felt powerless as never before, facing the pressure from his family and the carefreeness of his friends.

"Mengling, sister-in-law..." Pei Yanqing's voice was almost choked with sobs. It was an indescribable emotion of anxiety and helplessness, and he could no longer hide his inner nervousness.

Mengling couldn't help but feel deep sympathy in her heart when she saw Pei Yanqing looking so helpless.

Although she always faces life with a cheerful and optimistic attitude.

But at this moment, she could feel how much pressure Pei Yanqing was facing, which made the happiness in her heart fade away.

She gently pulled Jiang Yuzhu's sleeves, her eyes full of seriousness, "Sister Yuzhu, judging from Yan Qing's appearance, it's time to go back."

At this critical moment, Meng Ling continued speaking, her voice becoming extremely firm.

She turned to Jiang Yuzhu, with a trace of unquestionable determination in her eyes, "Sister Yuzhu, now is not the time to have fun. The family must be waiting for us anxiously, especially Yan Qing, who must be very confused now. We We can’t cause him any more trouble.”

Jiang Yuzhu took a deep look at Pei Yanqing. She could feel the uneasiness hidden in his eyes. This was not the always calm Pei Yanqing she knew.

Under Mengling's words and Pei Yanqing's eyes, she realized the seriousness of the problem, and the joke in her heart completely disappeared.

She sighed softly, her eyes full of apology, "Yan Qing, I'm sorry, I was too willful just now. Let's go back now. Don't worry, no matter what happens at home, I will speak for you."

When Pei Yanqing heard what Mengling and Jiang Yuzhu said, a glimmer of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

The three of them tacitly began to pack up the fishing equipment and belongings scattered on the floor. Every movement was extremely cautious, as if they were afraid of breaking the tranquility of the moment.

As Pei Yanqing cleaned up, he rehearsed the conversation after returning home in his mind, trying to find the best way to alleviate his family's worries and Pei Jingchuan's anger.

Mengling and Jiang Yuzhu stopped joking. They could feel Pei Yanqing's nervousness.

So I tried my best to help him clean up, hoping that through this small action, they could convey their encouragement.

As the sun sets, the surrounding sounds gradually become less and less, leaving only the subtle sounds of them packing their belongings, which is particularly clear in this quiet back mountain.

In that quiet and tense moment of cleaning up, Jiang Yuzhu's movements seemed particularly slow.

This was not just because she was distracted at this moment, but because Jiang Yuzhu was pregnant and older than Meng Ling.

Although she tried her best to hide her discomfort, the changes in her body and the extra weight caused her movements to slow down involuntarily.

Meng Ling noticed this, and her heart was filled with concern for Jiang Yuzhu.

Although everyone's attention at the moment was focused on the family turmoil Pei Yanqing was about to face, Mengling was still sensitive to Jiang Yuzhu's difficulties.

She gently approached Jiang Yuzhu, trying to share the burden in her hands, "Sister Yuzhu, let me help you. You should rest more."

Jiang Yuzhu smiled slightly, and although he felt a little embarrassed, he still accepted Meng Ling's kindness, "Thank you, Mengling. I'm just a little tired, maybe I didn't move fast enough."

As the last ray of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon, the three of them walked slowly along the path in the back mountain, their steps home seemed particularly heavy.

Everything around them was immersed in silence, broken only by their footsteps and the occasional call of a night bird.

Pei Yanqing walked in front, and although his heart was filled with the uneasiness he was about to face, he felt an indescribable comfort in the company of Mengling and Jiang Yuzhu.

Meng Ling and Jiang Yuzhu followed closely behind, exchanging concerned glances from time to time, sharing the warmth along the way.

The three of them had just stepped out of the trail at the back of the mountain. The night was already getting dark, but the lights under the mountain were extremely bright, as if all the stars had descended on the world to guide them home safely.

However, there was an ominous premonition hidden in this brightness, and Pei Yanqing's steps involuntarily became a little heavier.

He took a deep breath of the cool night air, trying to dispel the uneasiness in his heart, but it had little effect.

Just as the three of them were approaching the foot of the mountain anxiously, a familiar and powerful voice suddenly stopped their steps.

It was Pei Jingchuan's cold voice, with unquestionable majesty, "You are finally willing to come back."

Pei Yanqing looked up and saw Pei Jingchuan standing in front with a somewhat unhappy expression.

There were several accompanying bodyguards behind him, and their faces were also full of worry.

In the night, Pei Jingchuan's figure looked even taller, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

He locked eyes on Pei Yanqing, as if trying to penetrate his soul, looking for a reasonable explanation.

Pei Yanqing's heart tightened, knowing that he could not avoid this late questioning.

He stepped forward bravely, with both apology and determination in his eyes, "Brother, I'm sorry. It was my negligence that made everyone worry."

As soon as Pei Yanqing finished speaking, Jiang Yuzhu on the side became nervous because she saw Pei Jingchuan.

She accidentally took the wrong step, her body swayed slightly, her foot slipped, and she wobbled unsteadily.

She let out a soft cry of pain and leaned to one side, almost falling to the ground.

Mengling immediately stepped forward, stretched out her hand to steady her body, and asked with concern: "Sister Yuzhu, are you okay?"

Jiang Yuzhu endured the pain, tried his best to show a smile, and replied softly: "I'm fine, but my feet hurt a little. Maybe I stood for too long just now."

This scene happened very quickly, but it also attracted the attention of Pei Jingchuan and other family members.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes suddenly softened and he moved forward quickly.

When he arrived at Jiang Yuzhu's side, he asked with concern: "Yuzhu, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yuzhu tried to stand upright gently with the help of Pei Jingchuan and Mengling.

But a look of pain appeared on her face unconsciously, and she whispered softly: "It's nothing serious, I just accidentally sprained my foot."
