Chapter 45 - So Brave That It Hurts (2/2)

In the eyes of outsiders, they might think that Su Yu was just an embarrassment, but in his eyes, Su Yu was very brave. She was so brave that his heart ached for her.

Su Yu adjusted her breathing, and the frost on her face instantly melted. She turned around and revealed a warm smile.

Pei Tianlin’s heart trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

He pulled Su Yu into his arms and whispered into her ear, “Don’t be so strong and brave. It’ll make me look very useless!”

Su Yu’s emotions, which she had forcibly calmed down, instantly surged. Her eyes were filled with tears. She hugged Pei Tianlin tightly and cried silently.

Pei Tianlin patted her back gently and did not say anything. However, he allowed her to vent her grievances in his arms.

To Su Yu, a warm hug at this moment was worth more than anything.

After a long time, Su Yu finally calmed down and said softly, “I heard that the Lin and Pei families in the capital are close and the Lin family is valued by the Pei family. They’re really powerful. Will it cause negative repercussions on you?”

“The Pei family in the capital?” A look of confusion flashed across Pei Tianlin’s eyes.

What did his family have to do with the Lin family? Why was there no news at all?

“That’s right! The Pei family is one of the top families in the capital! I heard that Lin Tianhao’s sister, Lin Yuchen, is engaged to a member of the Pei family. The Pei family will probably support the Lin family.”

The Pei family was a top-notch family in the capital. They had many members, ranging from those in the direct line of descent to those in the branch families. They had countless distant relatives.

As a direct descendant of the Pei family, Pei Tianlin had actually not heard of this matter. This meant that this person who was engaged to the Lin family was definitely not important.

The bigger the family, the more complicated their internal relationships were. It was normal for there to be a mix of good and bad people.

There were many people who were showing off using the name of the Pei family.

“You’re often out doing things. If you encounter anyone from the Pei family, avoid them as much as possible to avoid being implicated by me.”

Su Yu had once suspected Pei Tianlin’s identity, but from the various signs, Pei Tianlin should not be related to the Pei family in the capital. Otherwise, as a local, it was impossible for news to not have spread.

Pei Tianlin replied, “I will!”

He naturally did not care even if someone came to look for him, but because of Su Yu, he agreed readily.
