Fang Zheng walked up to Rong Zheng, extended his hand, and said, "Miss Rong, here's a gift."

Rong Zheng handed the gift to Fang Zheng. "Assistant Fang, were you just outside the door?"

Fang Zheng hesitated for two seconds while holding the gift bag before nodding, then turned and quickly went downstairs.

Rong Zheng: "..."

Why are you in such a hurry?

Main building living room

Shen Qiuxian looked at Song Shiyan and asked, "Didn't you say you were coming over tonight? Why are you here now?"

Song Shiyan leaned back on the sofa, his tall frame slender. "I'll come over as soon as I'm done with my work."

Shen Qiuxian wanted to urge him to get married, but remembering that Song Shiyan would always find an excuse to leave whenever the topic came up, she didn't bring it up directly. Instead, she said indirectly, "I met Pei Chuan's wife today. She's a very nice girl, and I like her very much."

Song Shiyan slightly raised his eyelids. "You like it too?"

"Yes, she's not arrogant or impatient..." Wait, Shen Qiuxian looked at Song Shiyan in confusion, "Also? Who else likes Rong Yatou?"

Song Shiyan lowered his gaze slightly. "She is Pei Chuan's wife."

"You mean Pei Chuan? It's obvious he really likes Rong Yatou. Look, Pei Chuan is only two years younger than you, and he already has a daughter. As his older brother, shouldn't you find someone who cares about you and takes care of you?"

Song Shiyan frowned slightly. "I have a video conference later, I'll come over and have dinner with you then." With that, he got up to leave.

"Don't leave!" Shen Qiuxian said sternly. "You run away as soon as I mention your marriage. Will running away solve anything? Tell Grandma what kind of person you like, and Grandma will find one for you."

Song Shiyan pulled his foot back, looking calmly at Shen Qiuxian. "She's pleasing to the eye."

"So what kind of girl would you find appealing? Give me a specific standard."

"There's no standard, Grandma. Don't worry about my affairs. I know what I'm doing."

"What kind of sense do you have? You're 30 years old and there's not even a female mosquito around. Do you really have misogyny like people say? Or is it that you're not healthy? Or do you like men? I see you're inseparable from that Fang Zheng all the time. You wouldn't happen to have fallen for him, would you?"

"grandmother……"

"I disagree," Shen Qiuxian interrupted Song Shiyan. "I may not care about social status when it comes to marrying someone of equal social standing, but my granddaughter-in-law must be a woman!"

Song Shiyan pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. "I don't like men."

"Really?" Shen Qiuxian looked suspicious. It's no wonder she believed the rumors, since all the people around her grandson, whether assistants, secretaries, drivers, bodyguards, or servants, were men; there wasn't a single woman in sight.

Song Shiyan nodded solemnly.

Shen Qiuxian felt a little relieved. "Tomorrow is my birthday banquet, and many girls will be there. You must choose one from them."

"Grandma, right now I just want to focus on managing the company. You can't force matters of the heart."

"Don't give me that excuse. I'm telling you this now: if you don't choose someone to contact tomorrow, I'll stop your medication the day after. If you want to watch this old woman die, then don't bother choosing anyone."

"grandmother……"

"I mean what I say." Shen Qiuxian waved her hand. "Get lost. I'm annoyed just looking at you."

Song Shiyan sighed helplessly and left.

That evening, during dinner, Rong Zheng did not see Song Shiyan.

With expectant eyes, Lu Xingyao asked Shen Qiuxian, "Madam, isn't Brother Song coming back for dinner?"

She gave me a lecture in the afternoon, so I guess I went back to the company. It's good that I went back, so she won't get upset when she sees Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan together and sees him all alone.

"Never mind him, let's eat."

Lu Xingyao lowered her head and ate her food, her eyes filled with disappointment. The last gift she gave Song Shiyan was a tie, and she had wanted to see if it looked good on him, but she never expected that he wouldn't come back.

After dinner, Shen Qiuxian asked everyone if they wanted to go for a walk.

When she asked, everyone readily agreed.

The manor was brightly lit at night. The group strolled and chatted with Shen Qiuxian for about half an hour. When Shen Qiuxian got tired, they stopped and sat in the pavilion to rest. A short while later, the tram came and took them back to their respective accommodations.

Back in her room, Rong Zheng went to wash up first, and then came to the sofa to tidy up the pillows and blankets.

Lu Peichuan asked, "Are you sleeping on the sofa tonight?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Sleeping on the sofa is uncomfortable; I'll be sore all over tomorrow. Sleep in the bed; it's big enough for two people. I won't come near you."

"No, I think sleeping on the sofa is fine." Rong Zheng spread out the blanket and prepared to lie down.

Lu Peichuan grabbed her wrist.

Rong Zheng frowned at him. "What are you doing?"

Looking at the wariness and resistance in Rong Zheng's eyes, Lu Peichuan sighed, "You sleep in the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa."

"unnecessary……"

"Listen to me, you just gave birth to Tangtang, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, how could I let you sleep on the sofa?"

Rong Zheng saw the determination in Lu Peichuan's eyes and stopped being coy. "Okay, I'll sleep in the bed."

Lu Peichuan then released Rong Zheng, turned around to wash up, and came out to find that Rong Zheng was already asleep. He walked to the bedside, bent down, and just as he grabbed the quilt.

Rong Zheng suddenly opened her eyes. "What are you doing?"

Lu Peichuan pulled the blanket up a little. "I'll cover you with a blanket."

Rong Zheng shrank back a little. "You can leave now."

Lu Peichuan glanced at Rong Zheng for two seconds, then got up to turn off the light, and lay down on the sofa.

Rong Zheng didn't close her eyes to sleep until there was no more movement from Lu Peichuan's side and the room was completely quiet.

The next day, Rong Zheng woke up very early. She checked the time and it was just past six o'clock. Lu Peichuan was still sleeping on the sofa, and the blanket on him had already slipped to the floor. She got up lightly and walked to the sofa and stopped.

Her gaze lingered on the blanket on the ground, but after a moment she walked over, picked it up, and gently covered Lu Peichuan with it.

Consider it repaying the favor of letting her sleep in the bed.

Rong Zheng turned to wash up. Lu Peichuan on the sofa opened his eyes. He clutched the blanket on his body, and his thin lips slowly curved up. He knew that she still had feelings for him.

No rush, he believed that she would change her mind within a month.

Breakfast was delivered to the small building by the housekeeper.

After breakfast, Lu Xingyao took Bai Yuxiu out to play. Lu Yunshan said he wanted to visit the airport and the dock, so Lu Peichuan naturally had to accompany them. He asked Rong Zheng if she wanted to go along.

There were no outsiders here, so Rong Zheng didn't even bother to make up an excuse and simply said she wasn't going.

She went back to her room and sent a video to her mother to check on her daughter. After that, she started reading. When she got tired of reading, she decided to go out for some fresh air. She didn't call the housekeeper but planned to take a walk by herself.

After walking for about half an hour, I unknowingly arrived at Zhutingxuan. Remembering that the male butler had said yesterday that I could not enter without Song Shiyan's permission, I turned to leave. I had only taken two steps when I heard a silvery laugh behind me.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw a woman coming out of Zhutingxuan with Song Shiyan. The woman was walking backwards facing Song Shiyan, talking to him and gesturing with her hands in the air, looking very happy.
