Chapter 154: The man is nearly driven crazy by his craving

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu's expression seemed genuine, Pei Wenping didn't press further and simply used the excuse of not having seen Pei Ziheng for a while to follow Shen Mingzhu back home.

Once home, Shen Mingzhu put away the business license, and then grabbed her purse to go grocery shopping, preparing to host a thank-you dinner that evening for Pei Wenping and the classmates who had helped make connections, as well as to celebrate a little.

When Shen Mingzhu had left, Pei Wenping took Pei Ziheng aside for a private chat.

"Xiaohuan, has your mom been in contact with Uncle Yan lately?"

Pei Ziheng shook his head, "No."

Pei Wenping eyed him, "Is it possible they've met outside and you don't know about it?"

"Impossible, mom tells me everything, she never hides whom she meets from me."

Seeing her nephew's firm answer, Pei Wenping knew she wouldn't learn anything else and decided not to inquire further, but then Pei Ziheng began asking her questions in return.
