The child didn't know how to act like a little adult, which amused Pei Yifei, while Qi Zaozao was a little shy, with slightly red cheeks.
"It was Ruohan who called you to come back, right?"
At the other end of the sofa in the hall, Pei Xiaobei stretched out his little hand to touch Qi Zaozao's belly. Pei Qiwei's voice was not loud, and Qi Zaozao raised her eyes casually.
"Um."
"Dad's health is getting worse and worse. He wants you to bring Qi back home as soon as possible."
Pei Yifei frowned slightly.
Xu Yan and Pei Ruohan came downstairs at this time. Xu Yan had a smile on her face and said, "You're here. Have you had breakfast?"
"already-"
"She hasn't yet."
Qi Zaozao and Pei Yifei spoke at the same time, but Pei Yifei finished first.
"Then I'll ask the servants to make some breakfast." Xu Yan said immediately.
While Pei Qiwei wasn't paying attention, Qi Zao glared at Pei Yifei, but he just curled the corners of his lips.
Pei Ruohan saw the little movements of both of them. At this moment, she really wanted to run to her room, but she held back. Her peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of Pei Yifei's wrist. When she saw the old watch, Pei Ruohan's heart suddenly beat faster.
Mr. Pei's health was getting worse, and Pei Yifei was called upstairs soon. Sitting on the sofa in the hall were Pei Qiwei, Pei Ruohan, and Xu Yan.
And the somewhat reserved Qi Zaozao.
Xu Yan said gently: "It was a bit too sudden last time. How is the baby in your belly?"
"fine."
"Don't forget to go to the hospital for a check-up. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Qi Wei. She's been there."
Pei Qiwei leaned on the sofa with one hand, and said with a charming woman's smile: "I may not be able to help you with other things, but I can still help you with this."
Qi said thank you early.
Xu Yan asked again: "Do your parents know about you and Yifei?"
"Both my parents were born in accidents." Qi Zaozao said truthfully.
"Is that so..." Xu Yan hadn't expected this either. She looked at Pei Qiwei and said, "You're the only one at home? Now that you've got your marriage certificate, what about the wedding banquet—"
"I have a sister, and I've been a little busy with the wedding banquet lately, so I'll postpone it."
"What are you postponing? Ruohan is getting engaged too. Your belly is getting bigger, and it won't look good in a wedding dress. Do you have to wait until the baby is born?" Pei Qiwei glanced at Pei Ruohan and smiled, "If we wait until the baby is born, then we can hold the wedding together."
Pei Ruohan smiled gently, "If we really wait until the baby is born, then the timing is perfect."
Pei Qiwei curled the corners of her lips and did not continue speaking.
What should Qi Zao Zao say
Did she mean that she and Pei Yifei had an agreed marriage and had no intention of having a wedding at all
Xu Yan then slowly said, "If you have time, ask your sister to come over. After all, an elder sister is like a mother, so we should discuss the wedding matter carefully."
Qi Zaozao was a little embarrassed. Should she ask her sister to come over
After thinking for a while, Qi Zaozao said softly, "My sister is a vegetable."
As soon as she said this, the three women opposite fell silent.
Pei Qiwei seemed to have thought of something and raised her eyebrows slightly, but said nothing. Pei Ruohan was a little surprised, and Xu Yan was even more surprised, probably because they did not expect Qi Zaozao's life experience to be like this.
They respected Pei Yifei and Qi Zaozao and did not investigate, but Qi Zaozao's background was very different from that of their Pei family.
Xu Yan frowned for a moment, but immediately returned to normal.
Xu Yan seemed to have no interest in asking further questions, and only said, "You have seen your father-in-law's situation, you and Yifei should move back."
"This—" Qi Zao Zao was embarrassed.
Move back home
This is not something that can be decided just by her answer.
Pei Qiwei glanced casually and didn't know when Pei Ruohan disappeared.
After Pei Yifei came out of the old man's room, he was grabbed by a pair of slender hands. It was Pei Ruohan who pulled him to the next room and closed the door.
Pei Yifei raised his eyebrows slightly, "What needs to be said like this?"
"Brother, why do you like her?"
Pei Yifei was stunned when he saw the fair face.
Pei Ruohan said: "Brother, are you sincere?"
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
Pei Ruohan thought for a moment, "She can't help you with your work, and she doesn't have a background comparable to our Pei family, but you married her, brother. Are you really in love with her?"
Facing Pei Ruohan's words, Pei Yifei said calmly: "What are you questioning me about?"
Pei Ruohan choked up, "Brother, I don't mean to question you, it's just-"
Pei Yifei's eyes were deep. "She is the mother of my child and the wife of my marriage certificate. I don't need her to be very capable, because I am enough. She doesn't need a strong family background, as long as I am behind her, it is enough."
Pei Yifei's words left Pei Ruohan speechless, but... ... She looked up at him, her heart pounding. Once upon a time, this kind of Pei Yifei was the one she admired... ...
"Brother, why are you still wearing the watch I gave you?"
Pei Yifei's gaze became even deeper, like an agate stone whose light had been restrained, and as black as a bottomless pit. Pei Ruohan could feel her heart beating faster in her chest, as if she was looking forward to what he was about to say.
Pei Yifei's lips curled slightly, and his smile was very cold. "If you care, just take it off next time."
At that moment Pei Ruohan felt that her breathing was about to stop and she fell into darkness without a trace of light. It felt like there was coptis in her mouth, and it was bitter and unbearable.
Pei Yifei walked past her, opened the door and went out.
A door, he is outside and she is inside.
With his back to her inside the door, Pei Yifei's smile slowly faded.
There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, which he disguised very well.
Pei Ruohan bit her lips. Are you looking forward to it
What else is there to expect? They are siblings, what is there to expect? Everything was wrong in the past.
When Xu Yan saw Pei Yifei coming downstairs, she immediately stood up and asked, "Yifei, are you staying tonight?"
Pei Qiwei also slowly started to fight, "I think she should ask if we should clean up his room and move in..."
Xu Yan smiled, "Yes, yes."
Qi went to see Pei Yifei early in the morning, and there was no excessive emotion on that guy's face.
"No need, the old man is still alive and kicking."
Xu Yan was stunned.
Pei Qiwei smiled seductively and asked, "Were you scolded?"
Pei Yifei walked to Qi Zaozao and naturally took her hand. She didn't notice it, but naturally held his hand back and interlocked their fingers.
Xu Yan asked again: "Will you stay for lunch?"
"We'll go back now."
"Mommy, I want to play with my uncle and aunt." Pei Xiaobei walked to Qi Zaozao and held the little finger of her other hand.
Qi Zao Zao thought Pei Qiwei would disagree, but she unexpectedly lifted her long hair and said, "Okay, then uncle and aunt, if you want to come back, remember to call mommy."
"Thank you, Mommy. I love you." The little guy immediately ran over and kissed Pei Qiwei.
Qi Zaozao was holding Pei Yifei's hand with one hand, and Pei Xiaobei's hand with the other, and she went out with a smile on her face.
Looking from the back, they look like a warm family of three.
After the car drove away, Xu Yan said, "Sometimes I really don't understand what Yifei is thinking."
Pei Qiwei chuckled, "Isn't this bad? Isn't this what you wanted?"
Xu Yan's face flashed with embarrassment, and after a moment she said, "I mean, he should find someone who is of equal status, so that in the future he can-"
Pei Qiwei interrupted her, "Well-matched? Well-matched is not popular nowadays." Pei Qiwei laughed wickedly.
Xu Yan's face turned pale, but she recovered in just a few seconds.
With Pei Xiaobei's arrival, Qi Zaozao has been busy, playing with the little one and cooking for her. Pei Yifei went out in the afternoon and came back at lunchtime.
"My aunt's cooking is so delicious! I even sleep with her at night!"
Qi Zao Zao was in trouble because the sofa couldn't accommodate two people.
Xiao Bei blinked his eyes, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
Pei Yifei slowly raised his eyes, "Aunt and uncle are sleeping together, do you want to join them?"
Qi Zao Zao was stunned.
"I want!"
"Okay then."
"... ..."
At night, it became like this. The three of them slept on Pei Yifei's big bed. In fact, Qi Zaozao wanted Pei Yifei to sleep on the sofa, but it would be strange if he agreed.
Pei Xiaobei kept pestering Qi Zaozao to tell her a story. Pei Yifei went to the study. Qi Zaozao was thinking that after she coaxed the child to sleep, she could go to sleep on the sofa.
Qi Zaozao's voice was already very pleasant to the eye. When she sang softer, it flowed into the heart like honey. Xiaobei became even more excited after hearing it. She was a little tired, and while talking, she fell asleep.
When Pei Yifei came in, he saw this scene. A big and a small child were sleeping together. Under the light, Qi Zaozao's little face looked particularly gentle, without the fierce look in the daytime, but more demure. Pei Yifei looked at her and a tiny arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After taking a shower, Pei Yifei sank into the bed. Qi Zao Zao woke up at this time and opened his eyes dazedly, "Are you done?"
"Um."
"I went to sleep on the sofa."
Qi got up from the bed early, rubbed her eyes and went to the hall, but at this time Pei Yifei also stood up, took her hand, and then she threw her body into his arms.
Qi Zao Zao still hadn't reacted yet, looking a little confused. The smile on his face widened, "You look really ugly like this."
"You are ugly, you are the ugliest, your whole family is ugly!!! I'm too lazy to talk to you, I'm going to bed." She pushed him away, but he pulled her tighter, one hand clasped the back of her head and covered it, and that handsome face was magnified twice in front of her.
Qi Zao Zao wanted to push him away, but Pei Yifei refused and grabbed her. (To be continued)
