章節 8: Chapter 8 Remember to Eat Breakfast_1
Jiang Yuzhu finished her sobering soup, lifted the cat off her, and stood up to wash the dishes in the kitchen.
When she came out, Pei Jingchuan wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his slender fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
The man's appearance seemed carefully sculpted by the goddess Nuwa herself. His features were exceedingly handsome – deep black eyes, high and straight nose, radiating a forbidding aura from head to toe.
Jiang Yuzhu always felt that given this man's charisma, he must certainly be a CEO. Even though he was in the entrepreneurial stage now, he would surely achieve remarkable success in the future.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhu did not disturb the man. She lifted the cat that was glued to him, teasing it gently.
Her original intent to keep this kitten was due to her loneliness. She lost both her parents when she was young, despite her aunt's good care. However, there was always a barrier in her heart, and thus she was always lonely at heart.
After her work got stabilized, Jiang Yuzhu immediately bought a house and a car for herself, creating a safe haven for herself.
She met this little kitten by chance, simply adoption it after seeing it outside the apartment building a day before moving in. At that time the kitten was pitiful; skinny, trembling all over.
Jiang Yuzhu fed it a sausage, and the kitten clung to her and didn't leave. Thinking that the kitten was just like her, she decided to take care of it.
Coming back to her senses, Pei Jingchuan had already finished his work. Jiang Yuzhu took the opportunity to speak.
"I transferred five thousand yuan to your WeChat. You can use it to buy some furniture you need."
When she thought about how Pei Jingchuan might not feel comfortable living here and knowing that he might be tight on funds due to his start-up, she added.
"We're already married, we should support each other in managing our home. I don't know what you like, so just buy what you like. If you need more money, let me know."
After all, men have their pride, and a gap would certainly form in their hearts if she directly provided financial support.
Pei Jingchuan took off his glasses after listening to Jiang Yuzhu. He looked at her in astonishment and couldn't help but smile in his heart.
So, was he being kept now?
If news of him, a billionaire, being kept got around, his circle would undoubtedly tease him.
Pei Jingchuan was not polite with Jiang Yuzhu; given the current state of his finances, he really couldn't afford to show any cracks.
He leaned into the sofa, his narrow black eyes gazing at her, his voice hoarse but pleasant, "When do you rest?"
"I rest on the weekend." Jiang Yuzhu didn't understand why he would suddenly ask this, but she answered honestly.
Pei Jingchuan nodded, "Then let's go together when you have time off."
Considering that Pei Jingchuan, a grown man, probably wasn't very familiar with furniture, Jiang Yuzhu agreed without refusal.
"You should rest early. I will go and freshen up." Jiang Yuzhu, who had been playing with the cat, said lightly to the man on the sofa.
"Alright." The man nodded.
He withdrew his gaze only when Jiang Yuzhu entered the bathroom with her sleepwear.
He tilted his head back on the sofa, twisting his neck, and then suddenly broke into a smile.
So this is what it feels like to have a wife.
However, he and Jiang Yuzhu had only gotten along for a few days, and he hadn't seen her real character yet.
Pei Jingchuan stood up and walked onto the balcony with long strides, gazing at the bright lights outside.
The apartment that Jiang Yuzhu bought might not be in the most booming area in Linchuan City, but it could still be considered in the city center. Despite being late at night, the city was still bustling with activity.
As he saw the reflection of the bright lights in his dark pupils, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
The kitten brushed against his leg lightly, making occasional purring sounds.
At the sight, Pei Jingchuan bent down and lifted the kitten into his arms.
Linchuan was a coastal city, and the breeze carrying the scent of the sea blowing at this moment was mixed with a sense of dry heat.
After standing there for a while, he heard a soft female voice behind him.
"Jin… Jingchuan, aren't you going to sleep?"
Jiang Yuzhu sounded a bit stuttering as she wasn't used to calling a man with such an intimate title.
Pei Jingchuan's eyes darkened instantly as he heard this, Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He then walked into the house, holding the kitten and a hint of heat emanated from his body.
Even though the air conditioning was on, he felt a rush of coolness as he entered. He walked up to her, looking down at her, "I will sleep now."
With that, he handed the kitten to Jiang Yuzhu.
…
The next day, Jiang Yuzhu got up at seven.
Having learned her lesson from yesterday, she changed into her outdoor clothes before stepping out, but she couldn't find the man in the living room or the kitchen.
Jiang Yuzhu was puzzled and a little curious.
Had he not gotten up yet?
After freshening up, she first came to the living room to top off the cat's food, but the bowl was already full.
Jiang Yuzhu raised an eyebrow, so he had indeed gotten up but had left so early?
She turned around and noticed the breakfast on the dining table.
She sat down at the dining table and noticed a note next to her breakfast.
[There's an emergency at the company, remember to have breakfast.]
The handwriting, like the person, was forceful. Although it was somewhat careless, it did not affect its beauty.
Jiang Yuzhu looked down and smiled lightly, feeling a warmth spreading in her heart.
She felt that being married wasn't so bad.
After breakfast, Jiang Yuzhu washed the dishes clean, put on some light makeup, and then left the house.
Meanwhile, at the Pei Group building.
Qin Chenkai stood respectfully in front of the desk. If one looked closely, they could see small beads of sweat on his forehead.
The man lounging in the boss chair had sharp brows and long, dark eyes that were devoid of emotion. He pointed at the file in front of him, his voice cold.
"Wasn't this plan already being prepared? Why is there a problem now?"
Qin Chenkai swallowed and replied truthfully, "Boss Pei, Mr. Wen changed his mind at the last moment. We were just notified."
"Why did he change his mind?"
Pei Jingchuan rubbed his furrowed brow, his temple throbbing.
"Mr. Wen said he is not satisfied with our attitude, and he would like you to appear in person..." Qin Chenkai reported truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingchuan's furrowed brow intensified.
He certainly didn't expect old man Wen to pull such a stunt!
"You go and set up the meeting; send me the time and place." Pei Jingchuan leaned back, impatience flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, at Linchuan People's Hospital.
Jiang Yuzhu put on her work clothes and went straight for a meeting.
After the meeting, she returned to her office with a stack of files. However, before she could sit down, the door of her office was pushed open.
"Doctor Zhou."
Although she was confused, Jiang Yuzhu still nodded politely.
Ever since she explained her marriage to Zhou Zerong, he had been deliberately avoiding her.
Zhou Zerong gave an awkward smile, licking his lips.
"Doctor Jiang, there's a patient with special circumstances. The dean asked me to have you take a look with me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu stood up, "Alright, let's go together."
