The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Qingwu and Pei Jue Show off Their Love with a Tool Man

“So fierce.”

Although Pei Jue’s tone sounded fierce, the indulgence on his face was undeniable!

He thoroughly enjoyed Qingwu’s possessiveness toward him!

Qingwu raised an eyebrow and said, “Exactly, so Chairman Pei had better behave yourself and not give me an excuse to be this fierce.”

“Of course, but I wouldn’t mind if my dear Qingwu was a little fiercer with me in… other ways.”

Qingwu was at a loss for words.

Why did it feel like there was a hidden meaning in his words?

No matter how she listened to it, the remark sounded so suggestive!

“Let’s go. Time to visit Elder Pei’s ward.”

“Alright.”

Annie, watching her boss and his future boss lady walk away in such harmony, shook her head and sighed.

“That so-called ‘God Jin’ just now clearly turned into a prop for the boss and Miss Qingwu to flaunt their affection!”

…

Elder Pei’s ward.

Du Shu sat by the bedside, wiping her tears non-stop.

“Dad, I’m sorry for coming back so late. And I shouldn’t have argued with you on your last birthday!”

Elder Pei, wearing an oxygen mask, weakly shook his head and gave a faint smile.

His wrinkled, spot-marked hand trembled slightly as he stretched it out, and Du Shu immediately grabbed it, placing her face into his palm.

“It’s okay. At my age, getting to argue with my kids is a kind of blessing. Where’s Ah Yan and the children?”

“Ah Yan took the kids to Amsterdam for a competition. They’ve already booked the earliest flight back. Don’t worry.”

Du Shu’s grandchildren were among the few great-grandchildren left in the Pei Family now.

The ward door opened. Pei Jue walked in holding Qingwu’s hand, heading to the bedside.

Qingwu bent over skillfully, placing her fingers on Elder Pei’s wrist to carefully check his condition.

Seeing her, Elder Pei immediately perked up.

With eager eyes, he asked, “Qingwu, do you think you could reduce some of these tubes for me?”

Every time he woke up to find himself covered in medical tubes, it would dampen his spirits greatly!

The emotional toll was hard for him to bear!

“I’ll try my best.”

“Good! Grandpa believes in you! I’ve been taking the medicine you sent, all of it.”

Seeing Elder Pei’s proud expression, practically seeking praise, Qingwu felt both amused and helpless.

Like an old child!

Watching him like this, Qingwu couldn’t help the pang of sorrow in her heart.

Although it was largely because of Pei Jue, Elder Pei had always treated her kindly, doting on her and considering her in everything he did. He already saw her as his own granddaughter.

Suppressing the ache in her chest, Qingwu softly said, “Elder Pei, let me help you sit up and give you a massage.”

“Alright.”

Du Shu quickly called out to Pei Jue, “Ah Jue, come help! How can a young lady like Ms. Shen manage to lift your grandpa on her own!”

On the one hand, she worried Qingwu didn’t have enough strength.

On the other hand, she feared Qingwu might inadvertently hurt the elderly man.

Before her words even finished, Du Shu watched as Qingwu easily supported Elder Pei’s upper body, carefully avoiding all the tubes and positioning him comfortably.

Not only was Elder Pei completely at ease, but her skilled massage even made him exhale in relief, his furrowed brows relaxing.

Seeing this, Du Shu’s heart finally settled, her teary eyes fixed on the old man.

Ms. Shen, though—Du Shu had only heard from Elder Pei’s wife how fond Pei Jue was of her!

Unexpectedly, she even knew medicine!

Watching how meticulous Qingwu was, locating acupoints one by one, massaging as she chatted and inquired about the elder’s condition,

it truly seemed like she was treating him as her own elder with genuine care and respect!

Du Shu lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

She regretted it now—regretted not spending more time with her parents over the years!

“Ah Jue, I heard from your grandma that you’re planning to move up the engagement? Isn’t this too rushed? If you need any help from me, just say it!”

Pei Jue only just learned about this himself!

He figured it must have been a decision proposed by the Shen Family, intended to let Elder Pei enjoy his final days with peace of mind.

“It is a bit sudden.”

Qingwu, however, was calm as she glanced at Pei Jue.

“You’re not willing?”

“I’d be honored. I’m just afraid it might wrong you.”

How could he be unwilling!

Elder Pei chimed in, “Girl, this is an important matter in your life. Don’t make compromises just because of Grandpa’s health—it would make me feel bad.”

Qingwu replied serenely, “Elder Pei, I don’t feel wronged. This is a significant moment in my life, and without you, it would lose much of its meaning.”

In a way, Elder Pei had been instrumental in bringing Qingwu and Pei Jue together.

If not for him, they might not be standing here together now.

Qingwu smiled gently, almost radiating warmth.

“Elder Pei, I’m not the type to compromise. Don’t worry—whether we get engaged today or tomorrow, with or without a grand ceremony, as long as it’s with Ah Jue, none of those details matter to me.”

“But I do want you to be there. It’s important for both Ah Jue and me.”

“Alright, alright! Grandpa promises you, promises you!”

Elder Pei was deeply moved. He agreed repeatedly, his eyes glistening with misty tears!

Their family’s Ah Jue, who had endured over two decades without parental love, had finally found a girl he could spend his life with!

A heavy weight had at last been lifted from his heart.

After finishing the massage, Qingwu helped Elder Pei lie back down.

Exhausted, Elder Pei soon fell into a deep, steady sleep.

Du Shu was amazed!

Elder Pei had always struggled with poor sleep—light and frequently interrupted. But after Qingwu’s massage, he’d fallen asleep so easily!

No wonder Elder Pei insisted on waiting for Qingwu to arrive before taking his medicine.

Stepping out of the ward and gently closing the door, Du Shu took Qingwu’s hands in hers and sighed repeatedly.

“Good child, thank you for all your hard work!”

“It’s not hard work.”

Supporting Elder Pei’s wife as she walked to the ward door, Ju Ming immediately spotted Du Shu holding Qingwu’s hands so affectionately!

Darn it, even Auntie must’ve been fooled by this woman’s fake facade!

While Ju Ming had been busy currying favor with Elder Pei’s wife, this Qingwu had already won over Auntie so quickly.

Ju Ming was instantly filled with resentment!

Just as she was about to say something, Elder Pei’s wife shot her a light glance, instantly stopping her in her tracks.

The glance alone made her legs tremble!

It was as if Elder Pei’s wife could see through what she was thinking!

Ju Ming found it puzzling—even she wasn’t privy to Du Shu’s smiles.

If Qingwu were really as Wen Youjie described, how could Du Shu have been so easily “fooled”?

Better to meet with Wen Youjie first and clarify everything before saying anything further!

…

At Leisure Inn’s Dragon Building, Pei Mansion.

Yu Chen, the master, pulled out a few copper coins, touching his bald head.

“Senior Sister, your zodiac sign clashes with your husband’s. You’d better skip the funeral.”

Lady Pei calmly disrupted the arrangement of the copper coins.

“Try again. Does it still clash now?”

Yu Chen: “…”

According to the earlier divination, it definitely clashed!

“How can divinations just be changed on a whim?”

“If monks can steal the Taoist’s rice bowl and dogs can catch mice, why can’t divinations be changed?”

Yu Chen felt like he’d just been insulted!

“I called you here to ask for a favor!”

Yu Chen: “Broke, poor, don’t lend money, not a penny.”

“So virtuous!”

“What I actually want is for Ah Yue to attend Qingwu and Ah Jue’s engagement banquet as well!”
