Pei Muniang and Su Wannan have been married for some time, but Pei's wife has always waited in vain for him to bring Su Wannan home. Last time he came back, she asked why he didn't bring Su Wannan with him, and he said that Su had gone on a business trip and would be brought back another day. But this time, he still didn't bring her back, and even seemed unwilling to mention Su's name.

  Mrs. Pei thought about it more and more, feeling that something was not right, and continued to speak: "Mu Nian, this is the person you insisted on marrying yourself, since you've married her, you should treat her well, don't waste this girl's life."

  Waste...

  Pei Muniang listened to her mother's two words, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to smile, but couldn't.

  He wholeheartedly wanted to treat Su Wanwan well, but what Su Wanwan wanted... was never his wholeheartedness.

  Pei Muniang was about to say something when Su Wanwan's voice suddenly came from the doorway, "Sorry, I'm late."

  Bai Muni's words were cut off just as they reached his lips, and he looked towards the door with a hint of surprise, his eyes locking onto that slender figure, his gaze sinking for an instant.

  How did she come?

  Mrs. Pei was also shocked, originally she thought her son hadn't brought Su Wanwan back home, but unexpectedly he really did bring the person back this time.

  Su Wanwan walked over, first calling out to Mrs. Pei in a well-behaved manner, "Mom", then continued to apologize, "Mom, I'm sorry I didn't come back with Mu Nian at the same time today because something came up at work, making you wait for so long."

  "It's okay, it's okay, just come back safely, I thought we wouldn't see each other again today."

  Su Wanwan's smile was tinged with a hint of awkwardness, "Mom, it's my fault. I've been really busy at work lately, so I'm late visiting you. This is the gift I got for you, I hope you like it."

  Su Wanwan said, putting down the bag she was holding onto the table.

  Mrs. Pei smiled and replied, "You don't have to be so polite when you're back in your own home, thank you, please sit down." Then she turned her head and ordered the servant to serve tea to Su Wanwan.

  Su Wanwan sat down directly beside Pei Mochen, and as she did, she could feel the icy, sharp gaze shooting over from beside her, like a multitude of fine needles pricking at her. Su Wanwan's back straightened unconsciously, and although she was somewhat afraid in her heart, she still made an effort to remain calm.

  Anyway, since everyone has arrived, Pei Muxuan wouldn't drive her away in front of his mother, would he?

  Pei Muni didn't expect that Su Wannan would actually come here herself, without any shame or embarrassment, and even tell lies so smoothly, without batting an eyelid. For the sake of her Su family, she really is willing to go to great lengths.

  Pei Muni's face gradually turned cold, his thin lips tightly pursed, and his eyes seemed to be staring a hole through Su Wanwan.

  Su Wan swallowed hard, afraid that he would say something unpleasant and make her lose face. Fortunately, although his expression was not good-looking, he didn't say anything.

  Madam Pei glanced at the two of them and no matter how she looked, she didn't think they were a newlywed couple, but rather two unrelated strangers.

  It seems her guess was right after all, and the two people's feelings for each other were not good.

  But why?

  For so many years, her son didn't even glance at other women, wasn't he just waiting for her? Now that the person is already married back home, yet he's not close to her, being so cold, what is he thinking?

  Mrs. Pei hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Wan Wan, you and Mu Nian have been married for some time now, how's it going?"
