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

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes lingered on the descriptions of the seemingly tempting dishes. Although she was quite interested in several dishes, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Actually, I... suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to go to the bathroom first." Her voice was soft, trying her best to hide her discomfort.

Lin Ruoyun immediately showed a concerned look, and a trace of worry that was quickly concealed flashed in his eyes, "No problem, Yu Zhu. You go ahead, we will wait for you here. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell us and we can go home right away."

Jiang Yuzhu smiled slightly. Although she felt a little uneasy, she didn't want to let this worry affect this warm lunch.

She shook her head gently, "It should be fine, I just need to go to the bathroom. Aunt Lin, you can order first. I trust your taste."

Lin Ruoyun stood up and prepared to accompany Jiang Yuzhu to the bathroom. His concern was beyond words, "Yuzhu, I'll go with you, don't force yourself."

After Lin Ruoyun's proposal was gently rejected by Jiang Yuzhu, a subtle emotion flowed in the atmosphere.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at Jiang Xianmei sitting opposite, with a flash of expectation and dependence in his eyes.

"Auntie, can you come with me?" Her voice was low, with an irresistible tenderness.

Jiang Xianmei was directly named by Jiang Yuzhu. Although she was a little surprised, she felt warmer.

She knew that in this family, Jiang Yuzhu was particularly dependent on her.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Jiang Xianmei responded softly, "Of course, Yu Zhu, I'll go with you."

Although Lin Ruoyun was still a little worried, when he saw Jiang Yuzhu's request to Jiang Xianmei, he no longer insisted.

He just warned them when they got up, "Walk slowly and pay attention to safety."

Jiang Yuzhu stood up and staggered a little. Jiang Xianmei immediately reached out to support her and gently supported her shoulders.

The two of them walked slowly and steadily towards the bathroom.

Along the way, Jiang Xianmei's care and meticulousness were fully demonstrated. She carefully protected Jiang Yuzhu, fearing that something would happen to her.

"Yuzhu, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Jiang Xianmei's tone was full of worry.

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head gently, forcing a smile on her face, "Auntie, I'm fine, maybe I'm just a little tired. I feel much more at ease with you by my side."

Lin Ruoyun stayed alone in the warm and elegant private room. She cast her eyes outside the door from time to time, and her heart was filled with worry.

The sunlight outside shines through the window and onto the exquisite tea set, casting a faint shadow, just like her wavering mood at the moment.

Time passed by, and the tea cup in Lin Ruoyun's hand had cooled down, but Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xianmei still did not come back.

The atmosphere in the private room began to become a little solemn, and the originally relaxed and happy lunch now added a bit of uneasiness to Lin Ruoyun's heart.

"More than 20 minutes have passed, why haven't they come back yet?" Lin Ruoyun said to herself, her brows furrowed slightly, and the worry in her heart was like a spreading vine, gradually occupying all her thoughts.

Getting up and walking to the window, Lin Ruoyun tried to distract himself by observing the scenery outside.

But those bamboo shadows swaying in the wind seemed to remind her of the unusual absence of Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xianmei.

Just as Lin Ruoyun was about to open the door to look for Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xianmei, the door suddenly opened softly.

She turned around instinctively, ready to ask, "Why have you been gone for so long..." Her tone was full of blame.

But when she turned around, the person she saw was not the two people she expected, but Pei Jingchuan.

This made her freeze on the spot, surprise mingled in the depths of her eyes.

Pei Jingchuan's sudden appearance did bring a wave of disturbance to the originally quiet afternoon.

After Lin Ruoyun was stunned for a short time, her mood gradually calmed down, and she forced a smile.

Trying to hide her inner embarrassment, "Yuzhu went to the bathroom, she may still need some time."

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness, "It's okay, we can wait for her."

The atmosphere between the two was inevitably a little tense. Lin Ruoyun led Pei Jingchuan to sit down.

The distance between the two is not just the length of the table, but also the emotional gap accumulated over the years.

In that frozen atmosphere, time slipped by quietly.

Pei Jingchuan and Lin Ruoyun were each immersed in their own thoughts. The fragrance of tea on the table had long since dissipated, replaced by an indescribable silence.

Lin Ruoyun looked up at the door from time to time, worry in her heart surged like a tide.

She tried to find some topics to talk about, but found that she and her son didn't seem to have many common topics except family and daily trivial matters.

This discovery made her heart ache slightly. Although mother and son were sitting in the same room, their hearts seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes occasionally stayed on the scenery outside the window, but more often he stared at the tea cup on the table.

He knew in his heart that the gap between him and his mother could not be bridged overnight, but he had no way of starting.

. He once tried to win the recognition of his family through his work achievements, but ignored the importance of emotional communication. Now he wants to make up for it, but feels unable to do so.

In this way, the two of them were silent, and time passed in silence.

The wind outside gently blew the curtains, bringing a bit of coolness, and seemed to feel the atmosphere inside the house.

In this solemn atmosphere, Lin Ruoyun finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Her slightly trembling hands reached for the handbag placed aside and said softly, "I'll call Yuzhu and ask them what happened."

Pei Jingchuan raised his arm slightly, as if to stop him, "No need." His voice was low and firm, obviously making some kind of decision, "I believe they will be fine. Give them some time."

Lin Ruoyun's movements in her hands paused, and her eyes fluctuated slightly under Pei Jingchuan's firm gaze.

At that moment, she realized that this man, who was still a child in her eyes, had grown into an adult who could take on everything.

"Okay, Jingchuan, since you said so..." Lin Ruoyun's tone contained a hint of helplessness, but more out of respect for her son's decision, and she slowly put her hands back on her legs.

The two fell into silence again, but this time there seemed to be an extra layer of tacit understanding in the silence.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes still looked out the door occasionally, while Lin Ruoyun lowered his head and unconsciously rubbed the edge of the tablecloth with his fingers.

Time seems to be speeding up in this silence, the light outside the window gradually dims, but the light indoors remains gentle.

Such a scene seems to be waiting for a turning point to arrive.

As the waiter gently opened the door and came in with several plates of exquisite dishes, the originally silent room was broken by a slight sound.

Lin Ruoyun looked up, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
