Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Pei Qin, You Must Abide by the Women’s Code (5)_1

Seeing that he looked upset and couldn’t get any words out, both of them were puzzled, "What in the world happened to Brother Songming?"

Nothing had actually happened to Shen Songming; he just felt that the situation had blown up. Pei Qin suspected that there were still people in the Shen family trying to assassinate her, and worse, he had never taught anyone else Pinyin, but there was Pinyin code on that letter, which could only have been accessed by people close to him. Even he began to suspect that someone from the Shen family had made a move on Pei Qin.

If this issue wasn’t resolved, let alone marrying Pei Qin, it would become difficult for him to even see her in the future! That’s why, as soon as Shen Songming received the letter, he immediately rushed over.

He hurried all the way to the workshop and, seeing the door open, stepped right in.

Sun Quanliang family’s eyes widened in surprise, "Is that Young Master Shen!?"

"You don’t need to come in!" Shen Songming said as he vanished from sight.

Today, they weren’t steaming malt, and Pei Qin was in the yard checking the fermentation of the previous batch of malt, recording the process of each batch.

Shen Songming stopped a few paces away and watched her taste the malt and take notes, feeling a tightness in his heart. He dared not play with Pei Qin, but after making his decision, he was elated, as if he held a small bird in his chest that was jumping and singing. He had never felt this uncontrollable emotion, even with his first love. He was very clear about his feelings—he truly wanted to marry her.

But Shen Songming had also more or less figured out Pei Qin’s temperament. Although she wouldn’t distance herself from him because of an assassination attempt from the Shen family, with such a matter between them, she would be even less likely to agree to marry him.

Seeing her, a wave of emotions surged within him, and Shen Songming quickly stepped forward, "Pei Qin!"

Pei Qin had just turned her head when he wrapped her in his arms. Recognizing Shen Songming, she immediately threw down her record book and started hitting him while gripping him tight, "Can’t you be a little more reliable!? I damn near lost my life, you good-for-nothing!"

As Shen Songming, thrown to the ground, couldn’t help but laugh. She was clearly blaming him for the attack, swinging at him as soon as she got the chance; she hadn’t changed a bit towards him. Struggling to his feet and dodging her fists, he embraced her again, "I missed you so much!"

"Miss my ass! What the hell is going on?" Pei Qin cursed, prying his hands off her.

Shen Songming wouldn’t let go, "I traveled through the night to get here. Let me hold you for a while!"

With a dangerous knee aimed at his privates, Shen Songming immediately changed his expression, letting go and stepping back two paces, complaining unhappily, "Just for a hug you want to take me down!? If I’m rendered useless, where will you get your happiness in the future!?"

Pei Qin let out a sardonic laugh, a sudden image of Mo Heng’s alarming presence flashing through her mind, she cursed under her breath and asked irritatedly again, "Did you find out anything?"

Shen Songming chuckled and moved closer again, picking up the record book, "I’ll tell you inside." Pulling her, he headed into the house.

Pei Qin looked at her hand being held by him, her face darkening. They all damn liked holding hands, was it just to show off how taller they were, leading her like she was a child?

When her hand was flicked away, Shen Songming looked at her discontentedly.

"Speak!" Pei Qin glared at him, feeling like pinching him.

"I’ve had people go to Capital Jingcheng to check, and I’ve also checked everyone close to me. It’s probably not my so-called parents," Shen Songming said, watching her cautiously.

"How many people have you offended? Doesn’t anyone beat you up?" Pei Qin looked at him suspiciously. With this fool’s temperament, heavens knew how many enemies he had made!

"I’m not that stupid!" Seeing her deeply suspicious look, Shen Songming immediately protested, "If anyone was offended, it was my predecessor! It’s not my fault!"

"Let’s hear it," Pei Qin raised an eyebrow.

Shen Songming turned away, "The arranged marriages previously made by the Shen family, although they all were delicate young ladies, they were healthy and rarely ill. All of them had something happen not long after the engagement. So, I suspect as soon as word of my marriage got out, someone made a move on you." Two bedwarmers had even died before. But these were words that could not be told to Pei Qin.
