He Will Come Back Before Dawn

77

Bei Yao followed Zhao Zhilan into the house. Bei Licai was watching TV without saying a word, while Xiao Bei Jun was writing on the paper Zhao Zhilan had found for him. His butt swayed as if there were needles under it, and his eyes couldn't help but drift towards the kitchen.

When Bei Yao entered with fish and vegetables Pei Chuan raised his eyes and met hers.

She blinked, her eyes were watery, and she gave him a smile. After she went out, the tension in his heart dispersed, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

The meal was cooked by Pei Chuan. He intended to please Bei Yao's parents and put a lot of effort into it.

Zhao Zhilan couldn't find anything wrong, but the business had to be discussed. "Have you decided on the date of the wedding?"

Pei Chuan put down his chopsticks, and said, "I'll listen to you."

Zhao Zhilan actually wanted to say something hateful, but not because she hated Pei Chuan, she knew he had done enough. It's just that the daughter she raised like a treasure was so valuable that no matter who it was, it would be hard to pass the hurdle in her heart.

After listening to Bei Yao’s previous remarks, Zhao Zhilan felt somewhat relieved.

Zhao Zhilan said, “Tomorrow I will go and match your eight characters to pick a good day. I guess it will be next week since time is a bit rushed. There are still a lot of things to prepare, I’m afraid we’ll be busy these next two days. On your family side, you have to inform the Peis. You also need to write invitations to your friends. After the wedding, Yaoyao still has to go back to class.”

When she heard “the Peis”, Bei Yao couldn’t help but glance at Pei Chuan.

Pei Chuan has not contacted Pei Haobin for many years. Bei Yao was worried that he was uncomfortable, but Pei Chuan was just extremely calm. “I will inform them. I will take Yaoyao over for a meal the day after tomorrow.”

After all, both parents were still alive, so it's impossible not to notify them on a day like the wedding. People lived in a society, they couldn't live alone. For their parents of this generation, they at least have to show up at the wedding.

Zhao Zhilan sighed.

After dinner, Bei Yao had to stay at home, and Pei Chuan went to live in his original apartment. He had asked Jin Ziyang to buy the house back in advance and decorated it.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked down. The night in C City was not considered bustling and there were only a few lights under his feet. He thought of Pei Haobin who he had not seen for a few years, there was not much emotion in his eyes.

The wedding was scheduled for next the Tuesday.

Before that, Pei Chuan had to take Bei Yao to the Pei’s house.

He came to pick her up in the morning, and Bei Yao was a little nervous before going over. It's not that she hasn’t seen Uncle Pei before, but this was the first time she came with this kind of status.

Pei Chuan slipped the hair on her cheeks behind her ear. He gently stroked her cheeks with his thumb. “Don’t be afraid, I told him in advance. It’s just going for a meal.”

She nodded. She hesitated for a long time, and asked him, “Pei Chuan, do you know you have a younger brother?”

Pei Chuan nodded lightly and looked at her eyes with gentleness. “Don’t worry, I don’t mind.”

Now I have you. It seemed that everything in the past could be forgiven.

The most restrictive part of this meal was not Pei Chuan. He didn't want to eat at the Pei’s house, so he finally booked a private room in a nearby hotel.
