"Brother, I have some good news for you." Pei Yining immediately ran to find Pei Yicheng with excitement. Pei Yicheng was at the Xiyue Hotel, where the main structure of the hotel had been completed after a year, and he was busy at the construction site.
"Wear a helmet." Noticing that she wasn’t wearing a helmet, Pei Yicheng immediately grabbed one nearby and placed it on her head before asking, "Nianhua and the others are preparing to head home today, right?"
"Yes, it seems they’re planning to bring some gifts home today." Pei Yining said, then added, "I went to see Dad today. Although one side of his body is still immobile, the doctor said that as long as he is well-cared for, he’ll be fine."
"Oh."
Pei Yicheng seriously compared the blueprints, responding absentmindedly.
Pei Yining continued, "Also, Dad has softened his stance. He agreed to you and Nianhua being together, even saying that you’ve been dating for so long without bringing her home for him to see. Brother, does this mean I can soon start calling her sister-in-law?"
"Oh."
Pei Yining raised an eyebrow, observing his calm demeanor, and said, "Brother, why aren’t you even a bit anxious? Don’t you want to marry Nianhua as soon as possible?"
"Nianhua is still in school." Pei Yicheng reminded her. Of course, he wished he could marry her tomorrow, but Nianhua was still in school.
"You could still bring her home first to settle the engagement." Pei Yining felt like the eunuch more anxious than the emperor.
Pfft, she’s not a eunuch!
Pei Yining hurriedly said, "Brother, don’t you want to take Nianhua to see Dad?"
Pei Yicheng fell silent, and after a while, he asked, "He’s really not opposed anymore?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Pei Yining nodded vigorously, her face filled with urgency as she looked at Pei Yicheng, thinking: Brother should be happy now, right?
"Next year, Nianhua has booked a ticket to go home tomorrow." Pei Yicheng answered seriously, then returned to his work.
Pei Yining: "..."
So, she went to all the trouble of coming early, and this is how her brother... responded?
"What’s wrong?" Pei Yicheng finished checking this floor and saw Pei Yining standing there looking unhappy.
"Brother, I went out of my way to bring you good news, but you’re not excited at all." Pei Yining pouted. She and Pei Yicheng had a good relationship, and in front of him, she was just a kid who hadn’t grown up. She said whatever she thought without any roundabout way.
"Do you really want me to take Nianhua to the Pei Family for the first time, but we’re not going to the Pei Family, we’re going to the hospital?" Pei Yicheng retorted.
"..."
"Or do you want Nianhua not to go home tomorrow, but to wait until he’s discharged to go to the Pei Family?"
"..."
Pei Yining blinked, realizing neither option seemed realistic. Auntie really missed Nianhua. Yesterday, when she was home with Yijian, she heard Nianhua talking with Aunt Ji, who had been longing for Nianhua’s return.
"It’s hot here. You should head back early. Nianhua is going home tomorrow. I’ve already informed Mrs. Jin to prepare a lavish dinner tonight." Pei Yicheng urged her to head home, reminding her to leave.
Night.
In the small villa on Jilly Road, lights gleamed as everyone gathered, filled with laughter and joy.
Pei Yijian was with Pei Yining because Dad was in the hospital and Mom was there taking care of him.
Pei Yining, worried that they might be concerned, specifically said that Yijian missed his sister and wanted to stay with her.
"I want to be with my sister and brother." After saying this, Pei Yijian glanced at Pei Yicheng, seemingly afraid he might be displeased.
