Chapter 274 Sleeping in the Study?
Seeing the worry on his daughter's face, Grandpa Pei said, "Pei Cheng is here, don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. He realized what was going on and said, "Let's eat and ignore him."

Xu Qingmeng wasn't too worried. After all, he was a future big shot, and even if he wasn't now, he wasn't someone everyone could bully right now. Besides, he had the powerful Pei family behind him!
Others may not know, but the three big shots in the city are his uncle and the other two are also known to him, so he has nothing to worry about.

However, when she noticed Mr. Shen was lost in thought while picking up some food, she became thoughtful.

Gu Yunyi and Pei Cheng returned very late that night. Mr. Shen was escorted home by the guards. Yun Sheng and Yun Mo had been out all day and had already gone to sleep.

Madam Pei was not in good health and went to bed early. After Mr. Shen left, Mr. Pei also went to rest.

When Madam He got up in the middle of the night, she found Xu Qingmeng still waiting in the courtyard, so she urged her to rest quickly.

Xu Qingmeng wasn't actually worried, but after seeing Mr. Shen's appearance, she couldn't sleep anymore.

However, in order not to worry Mrs. He, she obediently went back to her room. She first looked at the two little ones, but then lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

I don't know if she's being too sensitive, but now that she's arrived, things have deviated from the original plot!

Because there was no mention of He recognizing her relatives in the original book, even after Gu Yunyi became the Grand Secretary, he had no connection with the Pei family whatsoever.

But now, because of her butterfly effect, Gu Yunyi has not only entered the court ahead of schedule, but has also become involved with a powerful family like the Pei family.

She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

For Madam He, things should be good for now, as it has relieved her of a great weight. However, she is still somewhat worried, since Pei Qingwan's methods are not simple.

Even Old Master Pei couldn't protect Madam He back then, and now, her status is even more extraordinary than before. In Pei Qingwan's eyes, they are still just ants.

She didn't dare to make any big moves before, probably because she was afraid of being discovered by Old Master Pei and the others. Now that she has been discovered, will she stop caring and just take action?

However, this is just speculation. Of course, since Old Master Pei and Madam Pei chose to come, they must have already considered it. Otherwise, Old Master Pei, as the head of the Pei family, would have been doing this for nothing for the past few decades.

She lay in bed, trying to comfort herself, but she still felt a little guilty. Looking at the baby in the cradle, she felt she would collapse if anything happened to them.

Xu Qingmeng was lost in her own thoughts, unaware that time had flown by.

When Gu Yunyi carefully pushed open the door, he saw Xu Qingmeng staring blankly at Zhizhi and Ruirui in the cradle, wide awake.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Gu Yunyi exhaled softly, his voice low and slightly hoarse.

Xu Qingmeng sat up. "Why are you back so late? Did your uncle come back with you?"

Gu Yunyi was freezing. It was snowing heavily and the wind was blowing outside. The chilly wind blew in, and Xu Qingmeng shivered. Zhizhi in the cradle coughed twice.

Gu Yunyi quickly closed the door. Seeing that the child had stopped coughing, he warmed himself in front of the charcoal brazier for a while and said, "Yes, Lord Kang sent someone to bring my uncle and me back."

Xu Qing dreamt that he warmed himself by the fire for a while before recovering. She quickly said, "It's snowing outside. Your coat is soaked through. You won't get warm anymore. Hurry up and change your clothes and go to bed."

After all, the bed was already warm.

Xu Qingmeng lay down a little further inside. Seeing this, Gu Yunyi obediently changed his clothes and lay down on the edge of the bed without getting close to Xu Qingmeng.

Xu Qingmeng looked puzzled. In the past, she couldn't wait to stick to her. What was wrong with her today?
"Why are you standing so far away from me? Do you think I'm going to eat you?" Gu Yunyi muttered under his breath, "I'd like my wife to take the initiative and eat me, but she never does..."

Since the birth of their child, the two have had quite a few sexual encounters, but it has always been him who initiates.

What are you muttering about?

She heard what was said earlier, but the whispering that followed was so quiet that Xu Qingmeng didn't hear it even though they were in the same bed.

"No, I said I felt cold because I was afraid you would catch a cold."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingmeng leaned closer and nestled her soft body into his arms.

Gu Yunyi paused. In the past, he was always the one to take the initiative to put his arm around her. This was the first time his wife had taken the initiative like this.

"What's wrong? Usually you wish I could sleep in the study?" He turned around and hugged his wife even tighter.

Holding her like this, Xu Qingmeng felt much more at ease.

"No way, how could I dare let my husband sleep in the study? I have always respected my husband, it's not like I look down on you."

Still regard her husband as the superior?
Ha ha!

At this moment, Gu Yunyi just wanted to say, what do these words have to do with his wife?
However, in this family, he was not as high-ranking as Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, so naturally he could not refute them; whatever his wife said was right.

"How could that be? My wife is a role model for women, an exemplar for all women. I'm just living off her..."

"Shut up!" Xu Qingmeng couldn't stand it anymore.

Gu Yunyi looked at Xu Qingmeng in his arms and chuckled softly, "Why aren't you asleep? Missing your father-in-law?"

Xu Qingmeng shifted her posture and looked him in the eye: "Why did Prefect Kang keep you here today?"

"What's wrong with that? I was only kept here because of my uncle." Gu Yunyi knew from Xu Qingmeng's words that she was still awake so late because of this matter.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xu Qingmeng pushed him and said, "Speak up!"

Gu Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then blew out the lamp, kissed her forehead, and said, "It's really nothing. I know you're worried about me, but I'm really just keeping you company."

Xu Qingmeng was not satisfied with this answer, but she could tell that he didn't want to talk about it, so she stopped worrying about it. After all, what she really cared about was whether there was any danger.

The situation has now deviated from the plot of the book. She has integrated herself into this place, has her own child, and doesn't want to lose it.

Is there any danger?

Gu Yunyi understood her worries and pinched her cheek. "Don't worry, it's alright. Even if something happens, I'm here. My maternal grandfather gave me a secret guard team just in case. The house is safe now, and Pei Qingwan wouldn't dare to do anything."

Xu Qingmeng stared at him in surprise. This was truly unexpected. Meeting the man's eyes, she received affirmation from them and thought about the descriptions to come.

She then felt relieved.
