Chapter 44 -44: Gifts of the Bright Moon in My Heart!

Pei Jue’s gaze was fixed on Qingwu standing on the stage.

He had imagined a thousand possibilities, but he never thought she would be the eldest daughter of the Shen Family!

She looked beautiful in that dress!

The thin silk perfectly highlighted her slender waist.

The expertly tailored dress had every hem and fold meticulously designed, moving like waves and clouds; her swan-like neck adorned with a pink diamond necklace, her hair cascading like a mist, she looked just like a fairy tale sprite…

Shen Dongli led Qingwu around to meet people, while also accepting numerous birthday gifts.

Pei Jue, however, began walking towards Qingwu!

“Hey, I remembered, doesn’t the Pei Family have a marriage agreement with the Shen Family?”

“Yes, you see, Pei San is heading towards Lady Shen. I must say, they look like a match made in heaven…”

“They truly are a perfect match. Only someone from a family like the Pei Family would be suitable for a heavenly lady like the eldest daughter of the Shen Family.”

Hearing the whispers around, Pei Jue’s lips curled into a faint smile.

“Happy birthday. This is my gift for you.”

Qingwu turned to meet Pei Jue’s gaze, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Shen Dongli slapped his forehead, quickly introducing, “Oh, oh, Xiao Wu, I forgot to introduce you. This is Pei Jue, your fiancé. The two of you had a childhood engagement, and now you finally meet.”

“Nephew, this is my daughter, Shen Qingwu!”

Pei Jue nodded, his lips curling into a teasing smile, “Shen Qingwu? What a lovely name. I’ll remember it!”

Perhaps intentionally, Qingwu felt he had emphasized the “Shen” in her name!

As for the fiancé… she had long known she had a fiancé, but she never expected it would be Pei Jue!

What happened to making a living as a rideshare driver?

“This is my gift for you.”

Pei Jue handed over a carefully wrapped box, the box made of pearwood and carved with a flourish of dragon and phoenix characters.

[“For the bright moon in my heart. Pei Jue.”]

Seeing the box, Shen Dongli couldn’t stop smiling!

“Didn’t he just prepare a gift for Xiao Wu? Why is he giving another one? That’s quite thoughtful!”

Pei Jue’s gaze fell on Qingwu’s face, as gentle as the moonlight.

“That one is for Ms. Shen, this one is for Xiao Wu.”

Shen Dongli scratched his head.

What’s the difference?

He couldn’t understand the romance of the young people at all!

Aren’t they both gifts for Xiao Wu? How can Pei Jue make such a fuss about giving them?

But he knew, if Pei Jue went to such lengths to present two gifts, he was certainly very fond of their Xiao Wu!

The children were getting along well, which made him, the elder, feel delighted and warmly satisfied, already pondering whether the grandson’s surname would be Shen or Pei…

Qingwu said lightly, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, fiancée.”

Was this person ill?

She was speechless for a moment, but faced with the crowd’s gazes around her, she couldn’t very well embarrass Shen Dongli, so she accepted it.

“Ms. Shen and President Pei look like a perfect couple, making people envious just seeing them.”

“Ms. Shen is beautiful, and she’s more than suitable for President Pei!”

“Their children are bound to be beautiful!”

…

To the Shen Family, these words meant something entirely different.

Their little sister had just returned; they hadn’t even had the chance to take care of her enough!

How could she be taken away by a fiancé who appeared out of nowhere!

Shen Boyi stepped in front of Qingwu, scrutinizing Pei Jue.

“My sister just got home, and she’s got her own name. President Pei, don’t scare her.”

Shen Zhongshuang adjusted his glasses, smiling seemingly amiably, “Xiao Wu is still young, there’s no rush to marry. Our Shen Family doesn’t plan on marrying off daughters for the next ten years.”

Qingwu glanced helplessly at her brother.

In ten years, wouldn’t she be an old maid?

Shen Shushan frowned at Pei Jue, pulling Qingwu behind him to shield her, “Not to mention, President Pei is already twenty-four, right? My sister is only nineteen, still intending for old cows to eat young grass?”

Pei Jue was taken aback!

He had just turned twenty-four; how did he become an old cow?

Shen Jishi eyed Pei Jue with displeasure, “President Pei’s gift has been delivered. Can you leave now?”

Shen Shaojia stood beside Qingwu, seemingly chatting with her, but her sharp gaze stayed on Pei Jue, unusually vigilant.

“Xiao Wu, if you don’t like him, just say it. Our Shen Family doesn’t need to marry off daughters for a business union, your happiness is what’s most important!”

A smile crept onto Qingwu’s lips!

The Shen siblings completely shielded Qingwu behind them, leaving no room for anything to slip through.

Seeing how well the children got along, Shen Dongli was moved almost to tears!

“Don’t make a fuss, President Pei came here specifically to bring a gift for Xiao Wu. You all need to entertain the guests quickly, or people will laugh at us…”

Shen Boyi extended his hand to Pei Jue.

“President Pei, come along. I see several families that cooperate with you.”

Pei Jue maintained his refined and gentle smile, “No need, elder brother can go alone. I’d like to stay with Xiao Wu.”

Shen Boyi: “…”

Who are you calling elder brother!

Since when did he, Shen Boyi, become his elder brother!

Shen Zhongshuang also showed some displeasure at Pei Jue’s expression.

“Is President Pei always this enthusiastic with pretty girls, or is he just like this with Xiao Wu? Because…”

Pei Jue gave a gentlemanly smile.

“It’s only Xiao Wu that I treat this way. Don’t worry, second brother, I’ve met Xiao Wu many times.”

Shen Zhongshuang: “…”

You’re just making it up!

They had been busy with the birthday banquet preparations these days, barely seeing their own sister, yet Pei Jue apparently met Xiao Wu many times?

Shen Shushan, the most hot-tempered, spoke, “President Pei’s words make it sound like he’s deeply in love with our Xiao Wu. You’ve got to be kidding!”

Pei Jue’s gaze landed on Qingwu.

“It’s enough that Xiao Wu understands my feelings.”

Shen Shushan: “…”

How thick-skinned this Pei guy was!

In the center of the banquet hall, the giant screen suddenly displayed a video!

People, confused, looked over, covering their mouths in shock!

“Isn’t the person in this video Lady Shen? Why’s she getting out of such a beat-up car?”

“Could it be that Ms. Shen actually has a boyfriend, while President Pei is…”

It really did seem like he was being cheated on!

But no one dared to say it and pretended they hadn’t noticed.

Shen Yurou hid in the operations room, eagerly waiting for the scene to erupt, ready to seize the chance to rush out and tell Pei Jue she could be his bride!

Just thinking about it made Shen Yurou so excited she wanted to scream!

Qingwu’s eyes settled on the video.

A video compiled from several different angles.

Showing clearly how every time she got out of the car, she had a sweet smile on her face.

While waiting for the car, her anticipation could even be felt…

Shen Shaojia, having seen the video earlier, hurriedly tried to cover for Qingwu!

“This video must be synthesized, it’s clearly full of Photoshop marks!”

The Shen brothers were on high alert!

They didn’t care about the Shen Family’s reputation, but if this video circulated, people would certainly gossip about their sister!

She was still a young girl, and gossip like that would be hard for her to bear!
