Pei Zigui chuckled and pinched the little girl's nose, as if punishing her for her dishonesty.

"In high school, if I remember correctly, you had a painting class and a piano class every Sunday afternoon."

The Jiang family attached great importance to the training of Jiang Ruoli, so she learned a lot when she was in school, and basically spent her holidays with various teachers.

That day, Jiang Ruoli skipped her afternoon painting and piano lessons under the pretext of delivering documents to Pei Zigui, and sneaked out to play. In order to avoid being caught, she didn't ask the driver to take her, but instead called an online ride-hailing service.

But how could Pei Zigui know this?

Jiang Ruoli's eyes flickered and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Grandpa called me that day and told me that you were coming to deliver some materials, but you were late, so it was only natural for me to show some concern."

At that time, the people below quickly found out that Jiang Ruoli did not go to Pei's after taking the online taxi, but went to Jiangcheng Zoo. They sent people to check the surveillance and found that there were two people waiting for her at the zoo entrance.

Shen Zhiyan and Xie Youran.

Pei Zigui was so angry that he laughed when he saw the surveillance footage.

Sure enough, he is still a rebellious child.

At that time, Pei Zigui did not call his grandfather, nor did he ask the Jiang family to pick up Jiang Ruoli. Instead, he silently ordered: "Tell the Jiang family that Miss Jiang is doing her homework at Pei's. Also, find someone to protect her, and don't be too high-profile."

Of course, Jiang Ruoli, who had been having fun all day, didn't know about this. He just thought he was too smart. When he sneaked back home and took off his rain-soaked coat, he realized he had a cold.

Plus, I was so tired that my period came that night, and my stomach ached all night. Fortunately, I was young and healthy at the time, and I was fine the next day.

However, since then, Jiang Ruoli always feels a little uncomfortable on the first day of her menstrual period.

Being caught red-handed, Jiang Ruoli stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "Well, it really has nothing to do with you."

Pei Zigui held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "No, it's my fault. I should have told people to protect you and take good care of you. It was my mistake."

A group of rough bodyguards were only concerned with protecting the little girl's safety, but they had no idea that girls cannot be exposed to the rain.

Pei Zigui's tone was very sincere. Jiang Ruoli was about to say that it was none of his business, but unexpectedly the man seemed to have dug a trap for her to jump into.

"So, starting tomorrow, I will ask a professional Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe a prescription for you to slowly cure this disease."

Jiang Ruoli frowned and refused without thinking: "I don't want to drink Chinese medicine! It's so bitter!"

Pei Zigui gently twisted her earlobe with his fingers, and coaxed helplessly: "Lili, be obedient. Do you want to feel the pain again?"

Even if Jiang Ruoli could bear it, he couldn't bear it anymore. God knows how scared he was when he heard Assistant Mo say that Jiang Ruoli fainted at home in the conference room today.

"But Chinese medicine is really bitter! You have never tasted Chinese medicine in your life, right?"

Pei Zigui paused. He had been in good health since childhood and had never tasted it.

"How about I drink with you?"

Hearing the man's tentative retreat, Jiang Ruoli's eyes flashed with cunning: "You don't have dysmenorrhea, why are you drinking with me? Otherwise, don't go to the old Chinese doctor. Isn't this an isolated incident?"

"No."

Pei Zigui refused decisively.

"Be obedient. If it's really bitter, I'll ask the doctor to add some seasoning to the medicine for you."

However, Pei Zigui did not expect that when the Chinese medicine was really boiled, the first person who would be reluctant to let Jiang Ruoli suffer would be himself.

Harbour City, No. 1 Seaview Bay.

The gardener was trimming the trees in the garden, and the maids were going in and out, busy with their work. In the kitchen, the chef was preparing lunch for the day.

Ever since Mr. Li brought a woman back home, he has to personally oversee every meal, just to make sure that Miss Shen enjoys her meals.

I heard that Miss Shen would only stay here for a while and then return to Jiangcheng, but Mr. Li sent people to deliver all kinds of clothes and jewelry to No. 1 Haiyue Bay every day.

But the beauty seemed not to be interested in these. In the past two days, she had not been seen wearing any jewelry, except for the special jade bracelet on her wrist.

The climate in Hong Kong City is very comfortable. Shen Zhiyan has been in a good mood since she woke up today, only because Li Yanzhou promised to take her to the hospital to see her grandmother in the afternoon.

Since my grandmother was brought to Hong Kong by a special plane to receive treatment from Dr. Patrick's team, although they often contact each other by phone, the two have never met face to face.

Shen Zhiyan specially changed into a light green cheongsam, which was embroidered with delicate white camellia flowers.

She found this skirt in the cloakroom. Li Yanzhou had been sending her clothes like crazy these past two days, and she felt it was a waste of time and effort, and she could never wear them all.

But Li Yanzhou acted as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "It's okay, if you can't wear them all, just leave them here, and you can wear them when you come later."

At this moment, the morning sunshine is just right, neither cold nor hot, and it feels slightly warm on the body, which is very comfortable.

Shen Zhiyan sat at a small table in the garden, drinking tea comfortably and admiring the surrounding scenery.

"Are you hungry? Lunch is almost ready. I saw you liked the swan pastry yesterday, so I asked the chef to make it today."

Li Yanzhou covered Shen Zhiyan's thin cheongsam with a thin knitted jacket and said, "Although Hong Kong is not as cold as Jiangcheng, you still have to be careful."

Shen Zhiyan took another sip of tea and smiled faintly: "I see. Are we going to the hospital to see grandma this afternoon?"

The sunlight shines on the woman's face, carving out soft features and a delicate face. A few strands of hair on the side of her face are blown away by the wind and playfully fall on the side of her face.

Li Yanzhou freed one hand and used his slender fingers to tuck the hair behind the woman's ear. To end it all, he pinched Shen Zhiyan's ear maliciously.

"Why are your ears so red? Did I bite them too hard last night?"

Shen Zhiyan's face immediately turned red, and her voice was soft and shy, "Don't be so outspoken, what if others hear it?"

Li Yanzhou sat down beside her, staring at Shen Zhiyan with a half-smile, and said softly, "Don't worry, they don't dare."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his eyelids, and his eyes, which had been tender and gentle just a moment ago, instantly turned into a sharp sword, warning the curious and prying eyes around him.

The servant who still wanted to eat melon hurriedly lowered his head and continued to work on the things in his hands.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li is here."

Zhou Zhu glanced at Shen Zhiyan and reminded her in a low voice: "She has already gotten off the bus."

Hearing this, Li Yanzhou rubbed Shen Zhiyan's head, and said in a low voice with some tenderness: "Go to the kitchen and see if there are any dishes you like?"

Shen Zhiyan knew about this second uncle of the Li family. Not only because of Jiang Ruoli's popular science, but also because Li Yanzhou never deliberately avoided her. Sometimes when they talked on the phone at night, Shen Zhiyan would hear something.

Although she didn't understand the twists and turns of the business world and the infighting within the Li family, she knew that the second uncle of the Li family was not a good person.

Shen Zhiyan subconsciously grabbed Li Yanzhou's fingers, and her bright eyes flashed with worry: "What about you?"

"I mean, will you accompany me to visit grandma this afternoon?"

Li Yanzhou raised his eyebrows and stared at the woman, with an irrepressible smile on his lips, "Of course. Go wait for me inside, and help me pick a bottle of wine from the wine cellar."

Shen Zhiyan nodded, "Do you want to put it in an ice bucket?"

Li Yanzhou's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he instantly grabbed Shen Zhiyan's small chin, unable to restrain himself from kissing her, and whispered softly: "Why are you so obedient?"

Shen Zhiyan ran away with a red face.

As Uncle Li walked to the garden with his cane, he saw a pretty figure of a woman with a meaningful expression on her old face.

When did Li Yanzhou have a woman here?

"Uncle, if you see it again, I don't mind doing a small operation on your eyes as well."

A cold voice sounded, showing the man's displeasure at the moment.
