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

Jiang Yuzhu looked up and saw a young female researcher, and a warmth surged in her heart. "Thank you, I really appreciate it."

The time the two shared for lunch, although simple, was also very warm.

During the conversation, Jiang Yuzhu learned about the recent progress and some minor difficulties of many teams.

She listened, occasionally offered some insights of her own, and even though she couldn't participate directly, she still tried her best to contribute to the team.

After lunch, Jiang Yuzhu returned to his work.

She spent the afternoon reviewing materials and occasionally communicating with other team members via email about research questions.

Although her body was a little tired, her heart was full of satisfaction.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window of the institute and fell on Jiang Yuzhu's tired but fulfilled figure, Pei Jingchuan appeared at the door of the building on time.

His figure looked particularly firm in the light of the setting sun, and his eyes were full of longing for Jiang Yuzhu.

Jiang Yuzhu packed up his things and walked out of the office with a complicated mood.

Although the busy day made her feel fulfilled, the unwillingness and struggle deep in her heart still lingered like a shadow.

Her steps were a little heavy, and when she saw the familiar and warm figure of Pei Jingchuan, her emotions became more complicated.

Pei Jingchuan immediately noticed something strange about Jiang Yuzhu. He stepped forward gently, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and asked with concern: "Yuzhu, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Jiang Yuzhu forced a smile and tried to hide his emotions, "It's nothing, maybe I'm just a little tired."

Pei Jingchuan frowned slightly, and he could feel the disappointment hidden in Jiang Yuzhu's words.

He gently led her to the bench aside and asked her to sit down. Then he looked at her seriously and said warmly: "Yuzhu, tell me, what happened today? You can share everything with me."

Jiang Yuzhu looked at Pei Jingchuan's concerned eyes, and the defense in his heart gradually collapsed.

She took a deep breath and told Pei Jingchuan her day's experience truthfully: "I did almost nothing today, just read some case information. I originally thought that I could provide some help for the upcoming surgical research project, even if it was just behind the scenes. It would be nice to have support. However, no one would give in. They all said that my first priority now is to take care of myself and my children... I know they are right, but I just feel unhappy and trapped. Not allowed to do it.”

Pei Jingchuan listened and held Jiang Yuzhu's hand distressedly. His voice was full of comfort: "Yuzhu, I can understand how you feel. You have always loved your work so much and are extremely persistent in scientific research. Now suddenly If you can’t devote yourself as much as before, you will inevitably feel a little disappointed.”

He paused and continued: "But you also know that each stage of life has its own specific meaning and value. Now, you are not only a scientific researcher, but also a woman who is about to become a mother. This new The role brings you not only responsibilities, but also new life experience and happiness. I hope you can try to accept this change, find balance, and let yourself find happiness in the new role."

Jiang Yuzhu listened quietly, and Pei Jingchuan's words were as warm as the spring breeze, slowly seeping into her heart.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes showed deep thought, as if he was weighing something in his heart.

After a while, a look of determination appeared on his face, and he said to Jiang Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, I know that for you, the sudden reduction in workload may make you feel a little uncomfortable. But you also know, This period of time is very important for you and your child. I think this may be an opportunity for you to have a good rest and make greater preparations for the future."

Jiang Yuzhu was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Pei Jingchuan meant. She asked softly: "Bigger preparations? You mean..."

Pei Jingchuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am thinking that when you are almost rested and your physical condition allows, I will give you a big project to work on. I believe that you will have more energy to devote to it by then. .And, I have your full support and together we can make it better.”

When Jiang Yuzhu heard this, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. Pei Jingchuan's proposal was like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in her heart and giving her a brand new goal.

"Really?" Her voice was full of excitement.

Pei Jingchuan nodded firmly, "Of course. I know you have the ability to do what you say.

Jiang Yuzhu's heart was filled with curiosity. Her eyes lit up with a hint of mischief, "Jingchuan, can you tell me now, what is that big project? I'm really curious."

Pei Jingchuan looked at Jiang Yuzhu's expectant eyes, and felt a tender feeling in his heart.

He smiled slightly, but deliberately kept it mysterious, "Yuzhu, it's good to keep some things a little mysterious. When the time is right, you will naturally know. Now, the most important thing is for you to have a good rest and adjust your condition."

Jiang Yuzhu felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but when she saw Pei Jingchuan's serious and gentle eyes, she knew that no matter how coquettishly she acted, there would be no results.

She pouted slightly, pretending to be unhappy, but she couldn't help laughing, "You are such a good person. Okay, I'll wait, but you have to remember your promise. .”

Pei Jingchuan stretched out his hand and pinched her nose gently, his eyes full of endearment, "Don't worry, I, Pei Jingchuan, always do what I say. This project is definitely a new challenge for you, and it is also a way to show your ability. A big stage. I believe you will love it when the time comes.”

Jiang Yuzhu looked at Pei Jingchuan's mysterious smile. Although he was full of curiosity, he also knew that no matter how much he asked, he would not get the answer.

She sighed softly, and the expectation in her heart was replaced by a hint of helplessness, but she also felt a sense of sweetness and comfort because of Pei Jingchuan's promise.

"Okay, Jingchuan, since you won't reveal it, I won't force you." Jiang Yuzhu pretended to be unhappy, but the smile in the corner of her eyes betrayed her true mood. "However, I will remember your promise, and you can't go back on it when the time comes."

Pei Jingchuan chuckled, his eyes flashing with affection and determination, "How could I regret it? Yu Zhu, my promise to you will always be serious." He gently put his arm around Jiang Yuzhu's shoulder and let her lean against him Surrounded by each other, they admired the night outside the window.

In such a warm and peaceful atmosphere, Jiang Yuzhu's heart gradually calmed down.

The new life that was about to come and the responsibility of being a mother appeared in her mind, which made her feel both excited and a little nervous.

"Jingchuan, sometimes I'm really scared about whether I can be a good mother and give our children a happy home."
