Mr. Pei! Don't force yourself into circles you can't fit into.

"Don't you find it strange?" Pei Lin asked calmly.

"Why would he go to such lengths to send Shen Yu'an to the Shen family? Was he really just an undercover agent? But during the years Shen Yu'an stayed in the Shen family, the other party didn't arrange for her to do anything. If he really hated the Shen family, he could have used Shen Yu'an to take action against them."

"Furthermore, Shen Yu'an developed feelings for Shen Mingxiao, so why didn't he stop her? If it were me, if my undercover agent fell in love with my enemy, the first thing I would do is replace her."

"After all, it's hard to say whether an undercover agent might betray their partner for their lover. Or perhaps..."

Pei Lin paused, then said meaningfully,

"Was this all just a part of his game? Was Shen Yu'an falling in love with Shen Mingxiao also part of the plan?"

In an instant, Shen Yanhe's heart sank to the bottom.

Everything rushed into my mind at this moment, one thing after another.

Why does my father hate the same sex so much?

Why do they value marriage so much and not allow their romantic partners to be men?

The requirements for the eldest brother are even higher.

It was extremely strict.

Just as Shen Yanhe was deep in thought, she did not notice a dark figure quietly leaving the living room behind her.

Pei Lin's gaze fell on the water glass on the dining table, reflecting the furtive figure. He picked up the glass, took a sip, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"I understand..." Shen Yanhe's thoughts returned, and his expression became more serious. "I will remind my elder brother..." But he paused here.

remind……

There's really no way to remind someone of something like this.

How can one control matters of the heart?

The elder brother's financial support for Shen Yu'an was genuine, and his kindness towards him was also heartfelt.

Shen Yu'an, too, probably doesn't even know what role he plays in all of this.

That's what makes Uncle Quan so formidable.

The feelings are real.

But it's truly unavoidable.

Pei Lin glanced at the time. "Alright, it's getting late. I should head back."

Shen Yanhe frowned and glanced upstairs. "Chengcheng is still taking a bath. Aren't you going to wait for him to come down before leaving? He'll probably throw a tantrum again."

Pei Lin chuckled softly, raised his chin, and looked at the water droplets left in the center of the living room.

"It's getting cold, I suggest that the Shen family put a carpet in the living room, so that my baby won't get cold."

Shen Yanhe stared at the water stains left by the footprints.

A sense of helplessness washed over me.

He rubbed his slightly aching temples. "Okay, this is fine too."

"Keep an eye on him. Let him go out and have some fun for a while. Once his father comes back, he probably won't have as much freedom."

Pei Lin didn't say anything, got up and walked outside.

Upon arriving in the yard, Pei Lin opened the driver's side door and glanced at the empty back seat. When his gaze fell upon a furry purple object under the seat back, he curled his lips into a smile and got into the car.

They started the vehicle and left the Shen family's house.

After driving for a few minutes, Pei Lin said slowly, "How long are we going to hide?"

Immediately afterwards, a head popped out from between the seats, leaned forward, and said in a guilty tone,

"You know that..."

Pei Lin glanced at the rearview mirror. "Next time, hide your true colors better."

Shen Jicheng tilted his head. "Where did I get a tail?" He turned his head and found that there really was a tail on the pajamas he was wearing.

He tugged at his clothes in frustration, giving Pei Lin a resentful look.

"See? You just didn't wait for me!"

"You promised to wait for me! If I hadn't gotten into your car early, you would have left already!"

Pei Lin stopped his car, his gaze falling on Shen Jicheng's feet. Sure enough, he wasn't wearing shoes. He didn't say anything, only speaking calmly...

"Come sit in the front."

Shen Jicheng was a little temperamental and clearly unwilling. He was still blaming Pei Lin for secretly leaving.

"three."

Upon hearing the number, Shen Jicheng became even angrier.

He angrily stepped over the center console, sat cross-legged in the passenger seat, and sulked with his arms crossed.

Pei Lin glanced at him but didn't say anything.

But as we approached Beishan Villa, the atmosphere became a little strange.

The reason was that Shen Jicheng had opened the window. He was only wearing a fluffy pajama set, and it was fine at home with the heating on, so he didn't feel cold. But he couldn't stand the cold wind outside.

Pei Lin even asked him, "Aren't you cold?"

Shen Jicheng turned his back to Pei Lin, his tone emotionless and stiff.

"It's not cold."

At first, Pei Lin didn't pay much attention, thinking he was just hot, since he was dressed quite warmly.

I thought he was just getting some fresh air.

Only about ten minutes had passed.

Seeing that Shen Jicheng hadn't closed the window yet, Pei Lin frowned and looked at him while waiting for the traffic light to change.

Shen Jicheng's hand, which was resting on the window, was red from the wind. Although his face was not clearly visible, the skin color on his hand was unmistakable.

At this moment, how could Pei Lin not understand what Shen Jicheng was thinking?

His expression immediately darkened.

"Shen Jicheng, put your hand in here and close the window."

He said, suppressing his anger.

Shen Jicheng paused slightly, still not daring to confront Pei Lin head-on. He silently withdrew his hand but did not close the window.

He didn't even glance at Pei Lin.

Pei Lin didn't say anything. He simply closed the window and sped up a bit.

Shen Jicheng didn't originally intend to do anything; he just wanted to express his dissatisfaction in this way.

But as the car sped up, he panicked and hesitantly called out, "Slow down..."

Pei Lin's jaw was clenched as he focused on driving and didn't answer.

Shen Jicheng had a bad feeling. He was the kind of person who would take advantage of anyone who gave him a little credit.

When nobody pays attention to him, he behaves himself. But if someone is nice to him, he'll take advantage of the situation and become arrogant.

Seeing that the situation was not right, his momentum immediately weakened.

Clutching the seatbelt, her eyes darting around, she said, "I was really hot just now..."

He certainly can't admit that he did it out of spite; Pei Lin would be even angrier. He has that much self-awareness.

However, Pei Lin said nothing.

The vehicle stopped at Beishan Villa.

Pei Lin stepped on the brake, then got out of the car without saying a word. He walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and before Shen Jicheng could react, he unbuckled his seatbelt and bent down to lift him out of the car.

Shen Jicheng instinctively wrapped his arms around Pei Lin's neck, his bare feet fidgeting nervously. Seeing Pei Lin's unpleasant expression, he quickly said, "I can walk by myself..."

"Put me down..."

Pei Lin remained unmoved.

One hand wrapped around Shen Jicheng's knees, while the left hand did not hold Shen Jicheng's waist, allowing Shen Jicheng's arm to hook around his neck.

As they passed through the living room, Pei Lin opened a drawer and took out a ruler.

Shen Jicheng panicked instantly.
