Under the soft light, Jiang Yuzhu lay on the bed accompanied by Xiaobai's snoring.

Exhausted, she tried to stay awake and waited for Pei Jingchuan's return.

While half asleep and half awake, she seemed to be able to feel the familiar breath, with a hint of coldness.

The clock beside the bed was ticking, as if to remind her of the passage of time.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyelids gradually became heavy. Although she tried hard to fight against the coming sleepiness, in the end, physical exhaustion defeated her will.

While waiting, she gradually fell into sleep.

Her breathing became steady and deep, and her face looked particularly peaceful in the moonlight.

It was late at night, and there was a gentle sound of turning keys outside the door.

Pei Jingchuan pushed the door open and saw that Yu Zhu had fallen asleep, a trace of guilt and tenderness flashed across his face.

He walked gently to her side, leaned over and kissed her forehead.

He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and his heart was filled with an increasingly strong desire for protection and love.

The man said softly: "I'm sorry, Yu Zhu, for keeping you waiting for so long."

Gradually, a pair of cat eyes shining with curiosity emerged from the crack in the door.

Xiaobai seemed to have noticed something and walked out gently.

Pei Jingchuan smiled slightly, knelt down and gently stroked Xiaobai's head.

The kitten seemed very kind and trusting. It gently rubbed its little head against his palm.

"Fortunately, you are with Yu Zhu." His voice was low and gentle, like a whisper at night, like a melodious nocturne.

Under the moonlight, the scene between the man and the kitten looked particularly warm and peaceful.

"You have to take good care of her." He said to the kitten again, his voice full of tenderness and responsibility.

The next day.

The early morning sunlight filtered in from the window and slanted on the dining table.

Jiang Yuzhu went down the stairs while combing his long hair, preparing to enjoy a lazy morning.

However, when she just walked to the door of the restaurant, a scene beyond her expectation came into view.

Pei Jingchuan sat at one end of the dining table. There were not only familiar breakfast foods - fragrant pancakes, hot eggs, freshly baked bread - but also a strange figure next to him.

This is a young man who looks like he has just grown up, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The young man has a slender and powerful figure, and his skin color is slightly healthy wheat color, giving people a sunny and healthy feeling. His hair was trimmed short, slightly curly, and scattered messily on his forehead.

But the most attractive thing is his facial features.

The high bridge of the nose, the deep eyes, and the slightly immature red lips, each one seems to have been carefully carved.

Especially his eyes, the dark brown pupils revealed an intelligent and curious light.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at him for a moment and had to admit that this boy's appearance was really outstanding.

Even between the eyebrows, there is a three-point resemblance to Pei Jingchuan sitting next to him.

This made her a little confused. Is there some kind of connection between them?

"Good morning, Yu Zhu." Pei Jingchuan saw her, smiled slightly, stood up and prepared to pull out the chair for her.

"Good morning, Jingchuan." She responded, then looked at the young man and asked curiously: "Who is this...?"

Pei Yanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, his movements a little elegant and lazy, but more of a unique youthful atmosphere.

As he sat there, the sunlight slanted down, giving his profile a golden outline, making his facial features more three-dimensional and eye-catching.

Looking at Jiang Yuzhu, he seemed a little embarrassed, but he still tried to maintain an elegant attitude: "Brother, is this the sister-in-law you found for me?"

His voice had some magnetism, but still revealed a bit of youthfulness.

Compared with Pei Jingchuan, Pei Yanqing's temperament is brighter and younger, but the same deep eyes make people have to believe that there is indeed some kind of blood relationship between the two of them.

Jiang Yuzhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such an outstanding young man in Pei's family.

She nodded slightly: "Hello."

Pei Jingchuan looked at the two of them, seeming to be looking for a suitable moment to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.

He coughed lightly and then explained: "Yuzhu, this is my third uncle's youngest son, Pei Yanqing. He just returned from China."

Pei Yanqing glanced at Jiang Yuzhu again, his eyes slightly frivolous, even a little provocative. He spoke, and although his voice was still magnetic, it was no longer as gentle and awkward as before.

"Brother, this sister-in-law, hey, it's interesting." He glanced at Jiang Yuzhu, his eyes full of obvious disrespect. "It feels different from the ones in those photos. It's more interesting in reality."

Pei Jingchuan's eyes instantly turned cold, and he raised his eyes to look at Pei Yanqing: "Yan Qing, it's very rude of you to do this. Yu Zhu is your future sister-in-law, you should respect her."

There was a hint of rebellion and stubbornness in Pei Yanqing's eyes. He obviously didn't buy Pei Jingchuan's teachings. A playful smile appeared on his lips and he said a little arrogantly.

"Brother, you also know that I don't like to follow the rules. Besides, I haven't confirmed that she is my future sister-in-law."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yuzhu again, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled slightly pretentiously, but there was no trace of panic in her eyes.

She sat upright, her eyes as clear as autumn water revealing determination and indifference.

She gently put down the tea cup in her hand and said calmly: "Everyone has his own opinion, right?" Although her voice was gentle, she could not hide the subtle ridicule in it.

At this moment, Mother Chen walked in carrying a tray full of breakfast.

She could see at a glance that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, but she still smiled and put the breakfast on the table.

Pei Jingchuan's brows were furrowed, obviously very dissatisfied with Pei Yanqing's attitude.

But when he turned to look at Jiang Yuzhu, his expression softened instantly.

He leaned towards her slightly and peeled the eggs for her skillfully and gently.

His movements were unhurried and slow, and every step showed his cherishment and care for this woman.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at him with a faint smile in his bright eyes.

Pei Yanqing looked at all this, the provocation and arrogance in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of imperceptible anger and jealousy.

He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said, "Huh, what a mess."

Pei Jingchuan didn't seem to notice his muttering, maybe he ignored it on purpose.

He handed the peeled eggs to Jiang Yuzhu, smiled and said, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Pei Yanqing looked at the warm atmosphere at this moment, and his face became more gloomy.

Suddenly he grinned, deliberately looking very jealous.

"Oh, brother, this is so unfair!" He pouted, expressing dissatisfaction in an exaggerated way.
