"Ah? Okay." Jiang Yuzhu was stunned for a few seconds before she followed suit.
She initially presumed that Pei Jingchuan, growing up in luxury, wouldn't know how to do anything. But surprisingly, not only could he cook, he was also very considerate.
The room was quite tidy, only lacking bedding because it was previously vacant. The two of them quickly made up the bed.
"You'll stay here from now on, anything you need, just ask me." Jiang Yuzhu lifted her gaze towards Pei Jingchuan as she spoke.
Pei Jingchuan raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Okay."
It was getting late, so she didn't continue staying in the room but turned to go to the bathroom for a wash.
Pei Jingchuan took out the ordinary pajamas he asked Qin Chenkai to buy and changed into them. Just as he changed, a hurried vibration came from his cellphone on the bed.
He picked up the phone and glanced at the incoming contact, his look was somewhat helpless.
"Grandma." The man sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow, he called out softly.
"How are you getting along with Yuzhu? Is that girl well-behaved and sensible? Isn't the wife I found for you not bad?" Madam Pei spoke quite proudly.
Pei Jingchuan raised his hand to rub his brow, his tone was quite helpless.
"Grandma, we've only been together one day, what can we tell so far?" Then he looked out the window, "I can handle the rest, you don't have to worry."
"If I wasn't worried, you would never get married!" Madam Pei snorted coldly.
Pei Jingchuan wanted to say more, but the call was ended with a busy tone.
Grandma's temper is becoming increasingly weird.
Only when the bathroom was quiet, Pei Jingchuan got up and went out.
The small apartment of Jiang Yuzhu only had one bathroom, so he had to wait for her to finish before he could go in to freshen up.
As soon as he opened the door, a ball of fluff pounced at his feet. Pei Jingchuan's dark eyes deepened as he looked down.
This little fellow, his personality starkly different from its owner.
He let out an exasperated sigh, eventually bending down to lift the cat by the nape of its neck and put it back into its nest.
...
The next morning at six o'clock, the alarm was promptly ringing.
Jiang Yuzhu sleepily switched off the alarm, she took a ten-second pause on her bed before bouncing out of bed.
She went to work at eight, so getting up at seven was just right.
But over the last few days, it was Pei Jingchuan who made breakfast. She felt embarrassed as they were a married couple and should manage their home together, so she set up a wake-up call at six o'clock to rise early and prepare breakfast.
However, the moment she stepped out of her room, she heard a noise coming from the kitchen.
Jiang Yuzhu was somewhat surprised, Mr. Pei wakes up so early?
"Mr. Pei, let me make breakfast today." She shyly pinched the hem of her clothes, her voice was very soft.
Pei Jingchuan was washing lettuce when he heard her voice. He turned his eyes up and down to glance at Jiang Yuzhu still in her nightgown. He quickly averted his gaze, his ears faintly turned red, and he started to wash the lettuce clumsily.
"No need, you can go back to bed." His voice was cold and somewhat stiff.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't know why and she nodded blankly.
When she returned to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she saw herself in the mirror, her face instantly turned red.
No wonder Pei Jingchuan's expression wasn't normal. She actually forgot to put on her underwear.
She usually didn't have the habit of wearing underwear when sleeping, and also she hadn't adapted to having another person in the house. She came out wearing the bare nightgown.
She didn't care about the saliva in her mouth and quickly ran back to the room to change her clothes.
Fortunately, they already had a marriage license, a little peek isn't a big deal.
Pei Jingchuan in the kitchen heard the movement outside and lifted the corner of his lips in amusement.
He bought some ingredients on his way back and made a sandwich for breakfast.
Jiang Yuzhu awkwardly sat across from him without daring to meet his eyes, "We can take turns making breakfast, after all, we both work."
Pei Jingchuan looked at the girl's appearance, a slight smile lifted the corners of his lips. He shrugged, his tone nonchalant, "I'm fine making it. You have a hard day at work every day."
Jiang Yuzhu looked down at her sandwich and didn't speak anymore.
After the meal, she rushed to wash the dishes. Pei Jingchuan didn't argue with Jiang Yuzhu.
After topping up the cat food, they went downstairs together.
"I'll give you a ride to your office." When they reached the downstairs, she whispered.
Pei Jingchuan shook his head, "No need, I'll take a taxi."
With that, he hailed a taxi at the roadside.
Jiang Yuzhu had just arrived at the hospital when she was informed that there was an urgent operation.
She immediately changed her clothes and entered the operating room.
After completing three consecutive operations, Jiang Yuzhu finally had time to take a rest. She was sitting in her office chair, took a sip of water, and her cell phone on the table was vibrating.
It was her best friend, Chen Ting, who had called.
"Hey girl, I'm treating you to the bar tonight!" Chen Ting cut directly to the chase.
"I can't, I'm too busy at the hospital lately, no time." It was already nine o'clock in the evening. She had to rush home.
After all, she was now a married woman.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ting softened her tone, begging pitifully, "Yuzhu, come on, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, don't you miss me?"
"If you don't come, then you don't consider me your best friend!"
Jiang Yuzhu massaged her tired temples. She was easily swayed by Chen Ting's whining, so she had to agree, "Okay, I'll be there in a while."
She chatted with Chen Ting briefly before hanging up the phone.
This time would be as good as any to inform Chen Ting about her marriage.
She sat in her office chair and after thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Yuzhu decided to send a message to Pei Jingchuan to inform him.
Even though they didn't have a romantic foundation, they were married and where she went, she should let him know in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, at Pei Group's skyscraper.
Pei Jingchuan was dealing with documents, he looked at his lit-up phone and contemplated for a few seconds.
His wife would actually go to a place like a bar?
However, Pei Jingchuan didn't probe further and replied with a simple "Hmm."
K11 Bar.
Jiang Yuzhu arrived at the bar and noticed her friend, sexily dressed Chen Ting, waving at her immediately.
When she arrived at the booth, she noticed there were several guys, handsome enough, but compared with Pei Jingchuan, they fell short by a wide margin.
Realizing what she was thinking, Jiang Yuzhu quickly shook her head and frowned at Chen Ting.
Chen Ting leaned in and whispered into Jiang Yuzhu's ear exuberantly, "These are the handsome guys I found for you. Choose whichever one you like!"
The bar was noisy, and though Chen Ting was shouting from the top of her lungs, only Jiang Yuzhu could hear her voice.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Chen Ting calmly, "I'm married."
"What?!" Chen Ting's pupils dilated dramatically, "You're married?"
Didn't she just break up? How did she get married so quickly!
"First, send these guys away, then I'll explain the whole thing to you." Jiang Yuzhu's gaze was serious.
Chen Ting found an excuse to send the handsome guys away, leaving just the two of them in the booth.
Chen Ting put one hand on Jiang Yuzhu's shoulder, leaning towards her ear, "You must explain to me, what exactly is going on?"
Jiang Yuzhu told Chen Ting in detail everything that had happened over the past few days.
Even after hearing everything, Chen Ting still couldn't quite believe it.
