Only Wei Yu himself knew that he had canceled the marriage with the Pei family. In addition, after canceling this marriage, Wei Yu went straight back to the base. The news did not reach the old lady, so the old lady was still in the dark half a minute ago.

Now that she heard Wei Yu say that he had already broken off the engagement with the Pei family, the old lady was stunned. “You really broke off the engagement?”

Wei Yu replied, “Yes.”

The old lady knew her grandson very well. She quickly realized that Wei Yu was not joking. Moreover, this was completely something Wei Yu would do. Besides, the old lady also knew that Wei Yu had always resisted the marriage with the Pei family.

“Our Wei family and the Pei family have been friends for many years. Why did you cancel this marriage just like that? Why didn’t you discuss it with us in advance?” Although the old lady was angry, she did not blame Wei Yu for canceling the marriage without permission.

However, she still reminded Wei Yu, “The Pei family is a famous family in the capital after all. Although our Wei family has a hundred years of foundation, we still have to be careful in front of the Pei family.”

In order not to worry the old lady, Wei Yu said, “I understand.”

“It’s good that you understand.” The old lady sighed and said, “l didn’t know before, but now that I know, our Wei family should apologize personally.

Don’t worry, I’ll go to Mrs. Pei personally.”

Wei Yu lowered his eyes and said in a softer voice, “Grandma, I’m sorry to trouble you again this time.”

“You’re still being polite to me.” The old lady smiled and said, “If you don’t like her, even if you’re forced to get married in the end, the girl will suffer. Grandma is thinking for you, and of course, I’m thinking for her. I know your personality. If you don’t like her, you won’t want her even if she was forcefully given to you.”

At this point, the old lady had no choice but to mention, “However, I’ve seen the daughter of the Pei family once. She’s quite a beautiful girl. Speaking of which, you haven’t even seen her yet. Why don’t you meet her personally before I contact Mrs. Pei? It’s good to tell her clearly.”

Wei Yu rejected her outright. “l don’t have to see her.”

The old lady laughed. “Alright, alright, alright. So be it. From your attitude, even if she stands in front of you like a fairy, you probably won’t look at her twice. Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. Our Wei family has a huge family business and doesn’t have to worry about food and clothes. Don’t work too hard outside. Take care of your health, understand?”

“Yes, I know,” Wei Yu replied.

In the Wei family, Wei Yu would always be the most favored eldest son and eldest grandson. No one in the Wei family would ever object or interfere with any of his decisions. Even if they offended the Pei family this time, what the Wei family wanted to do was not to force Wei Yu to compromise, but to personally apologize to the Pei family.

After ending the call, Wei Yu put his phone down on the table.

Wei Yu shouted.

In less than five seconds, Ji He flashed to Wei Yu’s side. “Young Master, have you finished answering the Matriarch’s call? Did the Matriarch urge you to go back?”

Wei Yu did not answer. Instead, he asked, “She hasn’t come out all afternoon?”Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Ji He pretended not to understand. “Who?” Wei Yu narrowed his narrow eyes.

Ji He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately said, “Ever since Young

Master left this morning, Miss Fei Yi has never left the house.”

Wei Yu asked, “Did she ask for anything?”

Ji He said, “Apart from delivering lunch, Miss Fei Yi thanked me and didn’t say anything else.”

Wei Yu picked up the cell phone on the table and handed the new material he had researched today to Ji He. “Give it to Minister Lin for me. Tell him that I’m off work first.’

Ji He took the new material. “Young Master, you’re off work? You’ve never gotten off work so early.”

According to Wei Yu’s work habits, he never looked at the time when he got off work. He worked until he wanted to get off work every day. It was not yet five o’clock today. There was even half an hour before the normal knock-off time. That was why Ji He was especially shocked.

Wei Yu glanced at Ji He. ‘Don’t you often complain to Grandma that I don’t cherish my body and work overtime every day?”

Ji He exclaimed, “It’s useless for me to persuade you, so I mentioned it to the Matriarch.’

“You’re quite talkative. If you continue talking, I’ll cut your tongue off.” With that, Wei Yu left.

Ji He looked at Wei Yu l s departing figure and scratched the back of his ear. “Why do I feel that it doesn’t seem like enlightenment? More like he’s eager to see someone.”

Ji Qingzhou’s voice came faintly from behind. “Who do you think he can’t wait to see when he gets off work so early?”

Ji He reacted half a beat too slowly. “Who?”

Ji Qingzhou laughed. “Of course it’s his lover in the golden house.”

Wei Yu walked especially quickly back to his private lounge. It was as if there was some magic drawing him to quicken his pace. He finally reached the door. He reached out and fitted the fingerprint to the identification. Then he pressed down on the doorknob to open the door.

The house was different from when he’d left it this morning. It was a lot messier. There were several packs of uneaten snacks on the couch. There was potato chip residue on the carpet. There was a half bottle of Coke on the coffee table, but the house was empty. Wei Yu shouted, “Fei Yi?”

No sound responded to him.

Wei Yu shouted twice more, but there was still no response. The wind outside the terrace blew in and lifted the curtains in the house. Wei Yu focused for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He walked quickly to the terrace.

There were no signs of climbing on the terrace fence. And it was so high up.

She probably couldn’t have thought of taking the terrace. It was too

dangerous.

But where had she gone?

Wei Yu’s eyes darkened. He had never been so flustered as at this moment. Veins bulged on the back of his arm, which was propped against the fence. A moment later, he was back in the house. It was like looking for something lost. Inch by inch, he searched every corner of the house.

Fortunately, he found her behind the sofa in the end.

The moment he saw her lying there unharmed, Wei Yu understood what it meant to regain something one had lost. He immediately squatted down and removed the empty Rio bottle beside her before slowly helping her up.

When he spoke, his voice was surprisingly gentle. “Wake up?”

Pei Jiao was drunk. Even she did not expect to be knocked down by two bottles of Rio. She had wanted to lie down on the sofa to rest, but she was seeing things. Coupled with the fact that her legs were inconvenient, she accidentally fell behind the sofa and fell asleep. Only now was she woken up by Wei Yu.

When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Wei Yu, she quickly closed them again and pouted. “How strange. I can even dream of you.”

Wei Yu laughed. “You don’t want to dream of me?”

After lying on the ground for a long time, Pei Jiao instinctively burrowed into Wei Yu’s arms for warmth and replied subconsciously, “l want to see you. I miss you so much.”

Wei Yu did not speak, but his mood surprisingly improved. He carried Pei Jiao horizontally and placed her back on the bed for the time being. He took off her shoes himself to avoid touching the wound on her knee. Every move was extremely careful.

He covered her with the blanket and was about to get up when Pei Jiao suddenly opened her eyes. Then, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Wei Yu’s neck.

Wei Yu was caught off guard and was pulled down by her. However, their lips did not touch. He held on and controlled the buoyancy of his body to prevent his entire body from pressing against hers.

Pei Jiao was drunk, but her movements were extremely agile. She used the momentum to flip over and pressed Wei Yu down when he was unprepared. Wei Yu borrowed the force to get up again, but Pei Jiao raised her face at this moment. Wei Yu froze and looked at her without moving.

Pei Jiao opened her misty eyes and her cheeks were slightly pink She first smiled foolishly at Wei Yu.

Wei Yu’s heart beat faster. “You’re drunk,” he reminded her hoarsely.

“Am 1…?” Pei Jiao’s eyes widened a little, and her face was closer to his. Wei Yu held his breath and watched her approach infinitely.

Their hot breaths gently intertwined.

Wei Yu had never felt like this before. His heart was beating so fast that it could not be any faster. He wanted to say something, but his throat suddenly tightened and he could not say a word.

Pei Jiao slowly moved her hand up and placed it on Wei Yu’s shoulder. Her other hand was on his chest. She seemed to be doing everything based on her intuition.

At this moment, she leaned in front of him based on her intuition. As their lips got closer and closer, Pei Jiao suddenly stopped. She blinked her blurry eyes and said softly, “This doesn’t seem right.”

Wei Yu’s breath caught. “What?”

Pei Jiao added, “l can’t do this. You’ll hate me even more.” With that, she made it as if to get up and douse the lit fire.

However, just as Pei Jiao came to her senses and was about to leave, Wei Yu was no longer as calm as before. He reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling it in front of him.

“Um…”
