Do you like her?
The question brings Pei Jingchuan to a temporary halt, unsure how to answer.
"Grandma, I'll handle it," Pei Jingchuan mutters, "It's late; you should go to sleep now."
As he finishes speaking, Pei Jingchuan hangs up the phone.
Initially, he didn't want Jiang Yuzhu to know his real identity to avoid her seeing him as yet another rich man. But now, the fear of her distancing herself from him or even considering divorce upon finding out the truth is even more disconcerting.
All night long, Pei Jingchuan grapples with this issue.
The following morning, when Jiang Yuzhu sees Pei Jingchuan with two massive dark circles under his eyes, she can't help but laugh, "Did you rob a bank last night or something?"
Pei Jingchuan simply responds, "Couldn't sleep."
He looks at himself in the bathroom mirror, confronted by his blatantly visible dark circles, as prominent as those of a panda.
After having breakfast at home, they both head out for the day.
