Wei Yu stood in the direction of the wind and shielded her from it. “You’ve observed it before?”

Pei Jiao’s expression froze. Fuck, she talked too much. Her eyes darted around as she quickly thought about what to say next. She definitely couldn’t deliberately explain or deny it in this situation.

Otherwise, it would be too obvious!

Fortunately, she thought quickly and thought about how to deal with it. She immediately turned to look at Wei Yu. At this moment, she knew very well that she could not avoid Wei Yu’s gaze and said in a calm tone, “Is it strange for me to observe this place? Actually, I’ve long wanted to figure out what kind of place this is. I’m also curious why so many scientific researchers are gathered here and are almost isolated from the world…”

She didn’t hide her curiosity about the base at all.

Wei Yu asked her, “Then, did you remember the terrain here in the private lounge last time?”

Pei Jiao said, ‘1 1 only remember a little, but it’s very difficult to remember everything. My memory isn’t very good, but if you let me see it a few more times, I might be able to remember it all.”

“Fei Yi.” Wei Yu called her name formally and said, “There are indeed many scientific researchers in the base, but it’s not convenient for me to tell you too much about the base.’

“l know. I’m curious, but 1 don’t really want to know. Look, it’s been so long, but I haven’t asked you.”

With that, Pei Jiao smiled at him. The wind in the tower blew a little harder. Pei Jiao shrunk her neck to prevent the wind from entering her collar. Wei Yu slowly leaned closer to her, his broad body firmly blocking the wind.

Just as Pei Jiao had thought, if she was more sincere, Wei Yu had nothing to ask. If she avoided the topic or lie, Wei Yu would be even more suspicious. As expected, sincerity was always a sure-kill move.

“The wind is too strong. Do you want to go down?” Wei Yu asked her opinion.

“Let’s wait. I still want to stand here for a while and look at the landscape of the entire base. I have to remember this place,” she said in his face.

Wei Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “Actually, if you look at it that way, you won’t be able to tell the complete landscape here. You can ask me directly if you’re curious about which side.’

Pei Jiao did not stand on ceremony. She pointed to the right. “Is that the way out?”

“No.” Wei Yu shook his head and pointed in another direction for Pei Jiao. “It’s that way.”

Pei Jiao looked in the direction Wei Yu was pointing. Actually, she knew that direction when she asked Wei Yu. But she deliberately asked the wrong question. After Wei Yu pointed in that direction, she pretended to say, “I already knew it was that direction. 1 deliberately pointed in that direction just now.”

Wei Yu smiled tightly. “Yes, you pointed wrongly on purpose.”

It was almost evening.

Ji He hurriedly went to the accommodation building to look for Wei Yu, but there was no one. After asking around, he quickly went to the base tower.

At this moment, Wei Yu and Pei Jiao had just come down from the tower. The two of them were holding hands and talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very sweet, and Ji He was too embarrassed to disturb them.

However, what he came to say was more important and could not be delayed. He braced himself and walked forward. “Young Master.”

Wei Yu could tell that Ji He was anxious and asked in a low voice, “What is it?”

There was no need for Ji He to hide anything from Pei Jiao. He said directly, “Young Master, Matriarch called. She said that she would be at the base tonight.”

Wei Yu frowned. “What time?”

Ji He said, “She’ll be there around seven.”

Pei Jiao, who was at the side, had yet to react and asked, “Matriarch is?” Wei Yu glanced sideways at Pei Jiao and said, “My grandma.”

“Oh…” Pei Jiao nodded. “Did your grandma come to the base to see you?”

“She’s probably here to see you…” Ji He looked at Pei Jiao and gloated for some reason. “Miss Fei Yi, Matriarch should be here to see you.”

Pei Jiao said, “Me?”

Pei Jiao had already forgotten that she had seen Matriarch Wei before. However, she had not gone to see her deliberately. She had gone to a certain grand birthday banquet with her mother and met Matriarch Wei.

At that time, Matriarch Wei took the initiative to stop her mother. The two of them even chatted for a while. She was not good at socializing at the birthday banquet, so she did not accompany her mother. She found a seat and sat down, quietly playing games on her phone. She vaguely heard her mother and Matriarch Wei talking about her. She casually looked up and saw Matriarch Wei smiling at her.

Pei Jiao naturally could not look coldly at the old lady’s kind smile, so she smiled back. Then, looking at the old lady’s mouth, there was a high chance that she was praising her in front of her mother. Her mother said, “She only knows Makka Pakka.’

However, at this moment, Pei Jiao had already forgotten that she had seen Matriarch Wei, so she did not have much of a reaction when she heard from Ji He that Matriarch Wei had come to the base.

At this moment, Wei Yu said to her, “Grandma probably knows about you and wants to come and take a look.”

Pei Jiao said, “So, your Grandma wants to see me?”

Wei Yu nodded. “Yes.’

It was already very obvious. Otherwise, why would Matriarch Wei suddenly come? She did not even inform Wei Yu in advance and let Ji He know.

Wei Yu was very considerate of Pei Jiao’s feelings. “Fei Yi, are you willing to see

Grandma?”

Wei Yu looked clearly nervous when he asked this. He added, “Grandma is very kind. She won’t be fierce.’

Pei Jiao actually didn’t care. “I’ll meet her. I’ll meet her sooner or later anyway. Besides, your Grandma came all the way here. How can I hide?”

Wei Yu was very happy to hear this “we’ll meet sooner or later”. This proved that she had thought about her future with him and was prepared to meet his family.

“Then this is settled?” Wei Yu asked her again.

Pei Jiao nodded. “Yes, we’ve agreed.”

Wei Yu immediately asked Ji He to arrange a place to stay.

Matriarch Wei had come so late. She would definitely stay at the base for the night. The things that had been lost at the base had been recovered recently. The entire base was no longer sealed off. They only needed to register it. It would no longer be as strict as before.

Next, Pei Jiao and Wei Yu went to dinner. After dinner, Pei Jiao returned to the accommodation building first. Wei Yu had to negotiate with Minister Lin and would return a step later than her. She was going to meet Wei Yu’s Grandma tonight. In order to leave a good impression on the old lady, Pei Jiao felt that it was necessary to dress up.

Of course, this was also for Wei Yu to see. However, after she lived here, Wen Qiong had brought her all her clothes and skincare and cosmetics. There was almost no room to choose her clothes. She bit her lip and debated. In the end, she chose the white tweed coat, then paired it with a pair of wide-legged pants and white shoes.

After dressing up, she used the only makeup she had. When she came out, Wei Yu happened to come back to pick her up. Wei Yu said, “Put that scarf on.” That scarf? While Pei Jiao was puzzled, Wei Yu said, “The one you knitted for me yourself.”

“Oh… Do you want to wear it?” Pei Jiao reacted.

Wei Yu nodded. “Yes.’

Next, the two of them made various adjustments in front of the mirror to deal with Weibo, so they delayed some time. When Ji He rushed over, he saw Wei Yu trying on a scarf in the house. Miss Fei Yi was helping him tidy it up.

Ji He wanted to wait for Young Master to tie it up, but after looking at it for a long time, it did not look like he could do it well. He said directly, “Young Master, Matriarch will be here soon.’

Wei Yu turned around. “Got it.’

With that, he stopped adjusting and held Pei Jiao’s hand. “That’s all. Grandma is almost here. Let’s go down first..”
