At the same time, Jiang Yuzhu was curled up in the quilt in the bedroom, her heart still heavy.

She heard Pei Jingchuan calling outside the door, but she had no strength to respond.

She was filled with a complex mix of emotions, from jealousy to insecurity to confusion about her own emotional reactions.

Jiang Yuzhu was well aware of his deep love for Pei Jingchuan, but he couldn't get rid of the emotional fluctuations caused by the news he just saw.

She wanted to be alone and collect her thoughts.

Under the quilt, Jiang Yuzhu closed his eyes and tried to calm down.

She didn't want Pei Jingchuan to see her like this, and she didn't want her mood swings to affect their relationship.

The atmosphere in the bedroom seemed a bit depressing. Jiang Yuzhu felt the warmth from the quilt, but could not dispel the coldness in his heart.

She breathed deeply, hoping to find inner peace.

Pei Jingchuan silently decided in his heart to finish the upcoming video conference first, and then use all his patience to resolve the misunderstanding with Jiang Yuzhu.

He knew that until Jiang Yuzhu's mood calmed down, any hasty explanation might be counterproductive.

He returned to the study, sat at the desk, took a deep breath, and tried to put aside the worries in his heart for the time being.

As soon as Pei Jingchuan sat down in front of the computer in the study, his eyes unconsciously fell on the bright screen on the desktop.

On the screen, the chat software window was still open, displaying an unread message.

His eyes slowly scanned the words - they were sent by Ye Qingning, mentioning that she had arrived at the airport and asking him to pick her up.

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he instantly understood the reason for Jiang Yuzhu's abnormal behavior.

A wry smile appeared on Pei Jingchuan's face. He knew that Jiang Yuzhu was not an unreasonable person, and her emotional reaction must be because the news touched some of her sensitivities.

Pei Jingchuan sighed, his understanding and love for Jiang Yuzhu deepened in his heart.

He knows that even the strongest people have moments of vulnerability.

When it comes to emotional matters, Jiang Yuzhu obviously still retains a touch of female sensitivity.

Pei Jingchuan silently formulated a strategy in his heart and decided to use a more delicate way to appease Jiang Yuzhu's emotions.

He took his phone out of his pocket, opened the chat app, and began to compose a heartwarming message.

First, he intercepted a chat record in which he assigned his assistant to pick up Ye Qingning at the airport.

Pei Jingchuan hoped that this move would show Jiang Yuzhu that Ye Qingning's arrival did not affect his focus on her, and he did not go to pick her up.

Then, Pei Jingchuan added a picture. He bought Jiang Yuzhu's favorite Buddha Jumping over the Wall specially for her on the way home. It contained several kinds of seafood and was placed in a beautiful packaging box.

Pei Jingchuan attached a gentle text to the message: "Yuzhu, I know you may be a little unhappy. Please look at these two photos. I hope they can make you understand that you will always be the most special in my heart. In addition, you I have brought my favorite Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, waiting for you to taste it. I love you."

After sending the message, Pei Jingchuan sat quietly at his desk, his heart filled with love for Jiang Yuzhu.

He knew that Jiang Yuzhu might need some time to calm down, but he believed that his sincerity and this small concern could warm her heart.

Pei Jingchuan had just pressed the send button with a hint of expectation in his heart. Soon after, he heard the door of the next room slowly opening.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the door, only to see Jiang Yuzhu open the door and walk out with a light step.

Her face was decorated with a hint of haziness, as if she had just woken up, and her eyes seemed to have lingering dreams that had not completely dissipated.

She asked softly: "Jingchuan, are you back?"

Jiang Yuzhu's voice was soft, and although he tried to hide it, Pei Jingchuan could feel a trace of unnaturalness in her words.

Pei Jingchuan looked at Jiang Yuzhu's appearance, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He asked softly: "Aren't you already asleep?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Yuzhu's face. She bit her lip gently and replied calmly, "I'll just wake up when I fall asleep." There was a hint of playfulness in her voice. Although she was a little embarrassed, it was also Look cute.

Pei Jingchuan approached Jiang Yuzhu, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and gently pulled her towards him.

His eyes looked at her affectionately and seriously, and his voice was low and full of love: "Yuzhu, no matter what happens, you know that I will always be by your side."

Jiang Yuzhu's heart was deeply touched by his words, and a thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

She leaned gently in Pei Jingchuan's arms, feeling his warm embrace and firm support.

"I know, Jingchuan. I just..." Her voice was choked, but she quickly cheered up again, "I'm just a little emotional, it's no big deal."

Pei Jingchuan gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "Everyone has emotions, and it's okay. As long as we understand each other, everything will be fine."

The two hugged each other quietly, and Pei Jingchuan's embrace was like a safe harbor, making Jiang Yuzhu feel extremely at ease.

Jiang Yuzhu raised his head, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "Where is my favorite Buddha jumping over the wall?"

A doting smile appeared on Pei Jingchuan's face, and his eyes were soft and full of love. "Downstairs, I've asked the nanny to put it in the kitchen. Remember to heat it up so it tastes better."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded, her eyes flashing with gratitude for this kindness and anticipation of tasting the delicious food.

She gently broke away from Pei Jingchuan's arms, pursed her lips with a sweet smile, and said, "Okay, I'm going to warm it up now."

There was a trace of reluctance in Jiang Yuzhu's eyes, and she asked softly: "Aren't you going to go down with me?"

A trace of apology flashed in Pei Jingchuan's eyes. He shook his head gently and said, "I still have a video conference to hold. When I finish this meeting, I will come down to accompany you."

Jiang Yuzhu's expression looked a little disappointed, but soon she showed an understanding smile again.

She knew that Pei Jingchuan's work was equally important, so she nodded gently to express her understanding: "Okay, then come down after you finish your work."

Pei Jingchuan looked at her tenderly, feeling deep gratitude in his heart. He gently took Jiang Yuzhu's hand, kissed it lightly, and then said, "Wait for me for a while, and we will enjoy dinner together."

Jiang Yuzhu's cheeks were stained with a faint blush. She nodded, then gently withdrew her hand and turned towards the stairs.

Pei Jingchuan watched Jiang Yuzhu's back until she disappeared around the corner of the stairs, then turned back to his desk and prepared to start the video conference.

He sat down, adjusted the camera and microphone, took a deep breath, and concentrated on starting the meeting.
