Chapter 28: Sheng Yiguang Launches a Counterattack

It was after 1 a.m. when Old Man Pei arrived at the hospital.

He put on an act, asking two on-duty doctors to do a brief checkup in the ward.

Pei Du stepped into the ward and, in just two seconds, saw through Old Man Pei’s feigned illness.

He turned to leave.

Old Man Pei nearly did a “dying man’s” startled sit-up.

Wen Heng quickly spoke, “Brother Pei, where are you going?”

Sheng Yiguang stopped Pei Du.

“Aren’t you going to say a few words to Grandpa?”

Pei Du was giving the old man some face.

“He’s old, he should be resting at this hour. I don’t think he has any serious problems, we’ll come again tomorrow.”

Sheng Yiguang, still thinking about his image of a “wild man”, advised.

“You’re already here, and he’s been looking at you. He definitely wants to talk to you, say a few words before you leave.”

Pei Du was reluctant.

He was afraid that if he stayed, he wouldn’t be able to resist tearing down the old man’s charade.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t let go.

“Pei Du.”

Pei Du surrendered to Sheng Yiguang’s voice.

Fine.

He would try his best to endure.

Old Man Pei seemed to have witnessed the scene of Sheng Yiguang taming his eldest grandson.

He couldn’t understand how his eldest grandson, usually so smart, could lose himself in a single “Pei Du”?

He imitated, “Pei Du.”

Pei Du stepped forward and lowered his voice.

“Really sick or faking it?”

“…”

Old Man Pei shut up.

Pei Du pulled up the blanket for Old Man Pei, his voice low, sounding very much like a threat.

“Not sleeping in the middle of the night, coming here to torment people? If you like sleeping here, then sleep longer.”

After speaking, he patted the blanket.

Old Man Pei: Didn’t dare to speak. It felt like he was being told to rest in peace.

Wen Heng: “Pei Du, Grandpa is not feeling well, you should stay with him longer.”

Wen Heng: “Grandpa fainted because he was too anxious. You also know how important the Hai City project is. If that project is snatched away, your position on the board will be even more difficult.”

As Wen Heng spoke, the system was exerting its power.

Barrages of comments slammed into Sheng Yiguang’s eyes.

[That’s right! Pei Du is in a difficult situation in the Pei family. He is nominally Old Man Pei’s only grandson, but he doesn’t have many shares and has little say on the board. Those directors all want to squeeze him out!]

[So annoying! If Sheng Yiguang hadn’t appeared, Pei Du would be with Little Wen, achieving both career and love!]

[I think Sheng Yiguang is also good-looking, why cling to Pei Du so tightly? Isn’t being with me good enough?]

[Sheng Yiguang! If you truly love him, let go! Stand up and say it! I’m not worthy of you!]

…

Old Man Pei saw Wen Heng speaking and Pei Du not saying a word, so he became a little bolder.

“What Little Wen said makes sense.”

He deliberately looked at Sheng Yiguang and said to Pei Du.

“Little Wen can help you.”

Subtext: Sheng Yiguang can’t.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be standing on Wen Heng’s side.

The barrage scrolled frantically.

[Pei Du’s life or death depends on you! Don’t you like Pei Du? Why don’t you help him?]

[Can’t you see clearly yet? You’re no longer worthy of Pei Du!]

[Say it! Tell them!]

[You! Are not! Worthy! Of! Pei! Du!]

Sheng Yiguang took a deep breath.

“Old Man Pei, allow me to interrupt. Since the Hai City project is so important and Mr. Wen can help, why does it sound like he’s unwilling to help now?”

Sheng Yiguang glanced at the barrage and then looked at Wen Heng, his voice calm, and asked.

“Don’t you like Pei Du? Why don’t you help him?”

The barrage stopped.

System: [Ahhhhhhhh!]

System: [It’s an attack!]

System: [Sheng Yiguang used the words I used to attack you, to attack you!]

Wen Heng: “…”

Pei Du’s words were already on the tip of his tongue, but after hearing Sheng Yiguang’s words, he swallowed them back and changed his words.

“That’s right, the Wen family is a small family, we haven’t treated him badly, right? We smile at him, but he plays tricks with us.”

Pei Du: “While saying he likes me, he has so many steps, 1234, unwilling to help me, wanting to get married first, using that as a threat.”

Pei Du: “What a novel way of showing affection, it’s an eye-opener.”

Pei Du: “Grandpa, do you approve of someone like this?”

Pei Du: “If you like him, keep him, I’m timid, I don’t dare to accept this blessing.”

He then looked at Wen Heng, “Or should I change my address and call you ‘grandma’ now?”

Sheng Yiguang regretted coming.

Pei Du dared to say it, but he didn’t dare to listen.

Old Man Pei couldn’t bear it any longer. He did a carp jump, grabbed a pillow, and threw it directly at Pei Du.

It looked fierce, but it didn’t have any strength when it hit him.

Pei Du lightly caught it and grasped Sheng Yiguang’s hand.

“See, I said he was fine. The little pillow hurt me quite a bit, accompany me to see an orthopedist.”

Pei Du pulled Sheng Yiguang away.

The system asked Wen Heng.

[What to do?]

Wen Heng gritted his teeth, “This is only the first round, it’s too early to talk about winning or losing!”

–

Pei Du and Sheng Yiguang returned to Sheng Tong’s ward. Because it was dawn and they still had to check on the situation at Grandpa’s, they both stayed.

Sheng Yiguang wanted to squeeze in with Sheng Tong, but Pei Du directly dragged him onto the bed.

“Sleep with me, and I’ll give you a ‘like’.”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang looked at Pei Du pleadingly.

Pei Du smiled, “I’ll do it secretly, okay? Sleep with me, if you don’t sleep with me, I can’t sleep.”

Sheng Yiguang nodded.

Pei Du directly pulled him into his arms.

The moment the embrace was filled, the emptiness in his heart was filled as well, so comfortable that even his bones felt numb.

Pei Du couldn’t help but pull him closer.

Sheng Yiguang also couldn’t help but hug him tighter.

A dreamless night.

When Sheng Yiguang vaguely woke up, it was almost nine o’clock.

He opened his eyes and saw Pei Du’s handsome face so close, and burrowed into his arms again. This movement woke Pei Du.

He was still not fully awake, rubbing Sheng Yiguang’s face, lowered his head to find his lips, kissed them, and then closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

After sleeping for a while, he felt something was wrong and opened his eyes.

His thin lips pursed, revealing a chuckle.

Sheng Yiguang heard it, pulled himself out of his dazed state, and raised his eyes.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at you.”

“?”

Pei Du moved closer, his voice very low, as if afraid of being heard, his tone lazy, filled with laughter.

“Baby, what’s that sound? You’re poking me.”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang instantly woke up, his face flushed red, stammering for a long time without saying a word, turned over and got out of bed, fleeing into the bathroom.

Pei Du on the cot couldn’t stop laughing.

If only Sheng Yiguang hadn’t been so flustered and touched him, he could have won back a point.

But he was too embarrassed and hid in the bathroom.

Sheng Tong heard the noise and crawled under the privacy curtain.

“You’re awake? Where’s Sheng Yiguang? Why did you sleep with Sheng Yiguang last night?”

Pei Du was in a good mood and sat up, “Ask him.”

Sheng Tong didn’t ask, he directly snatched the person.

When Sheng Yiguang came out of the bathroom, he clung to Sheng Yiguang, asking him to play with toys together. After playing for a while, Pei Du had to go to Old Man Pei’s ward.

For no other reason than to see if the old man’s act was over.

He was going to chase him away.
