Pei Ruohan looked at Pei Yifei's back in front of her, put her hands on her chest and clasped them together. She still hasn't realized why she came to the United States. It was because of her mother.
"Ruohan, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity created by mom for you. Yifei is going on a business trip to the United States, so why don't you go with her?"
"Mom, what did you say?"
"This is a good opportunity for you to be alone together and regain the feeling you had before, okay? You must seize it!!!"
"But-"
"There's no buts. Mom's future depends on you. You must not let that woman get away with it. How is our Ruohan inferior to her? In terms of accomplishment and looks, our Ruohan is much better than her—"
Just like that, she arrived in the United States, and even her mother prepared the plane ticket!
In her opinion, her mother seemed to have become a different person, and—
Pei Ruohan's eyes dimmed. Although she was shocked that they had gone from being biological father and daughter to not being biological children, her father had treated her so well before.
How could mom do this
I always feel like I'm heading down a path of no return, with no possibility of turning back.
I thought of Qi Zaozao. Although I didn't like her personality very much, I still felt a little guilty and felt guilty about how I treated my brother.
"What's wrong?" Pei Yifei suddenly stopped and looked back at Pei Ruohan.
Pei Ruohan reacted immediately when she heard the voice, "It's okay!" She trotted behind him, her long hair spread on both sides, her eyebrows slightly drooped, looking very gentle and lovely.
Pei Yifei withdrew his gaze and walked towards the parking lot, but at this time Pei Ruohan reached out and grabbed Pei Yifei's collar.
He paused again and looked back at her. Pei Ruohan's head hung even lower.
At that moment, it was as if she had returned to a few years ago, also at the airport in the United States, and they were also walking one in front of the other. She was walking at the back and reached out her little hand to grab his collar.
Pei Yifei's deep eyes suddenly softened, "Let Xiao Li take you back to the hotel later."
"good!"
"Master, the meeting will be in half an hour—"
Xiao Li hadn't finished speaking yet, but when he saw Pei Yifei's gloomy gaze, he didn't dare to continue.
The young master is so cold, I also want to be gentle!
——
Not knowing how long Pei Yifei would be away on this business trip, Qi Zaozao felt an urge to sigh.
"Aunt—"
At this time, Pei Qiwei brought Pei Xiaobei back.
Pei Xiaobei immediately rushed to Qi Zaozao's side, raised his little head and said, "Aunt, where is uncle?"
"Your uncle is on a business trip and will be back in a few days."
"Really?" Pei Qiwei raised her eyebrows. "Why didn't that guy call and tell us?"
Qi Zao Zao smiled. At this moment, Xu Yan came down from upstairs. "Qi Wei, have you guys eaten yet?"
"Not yet." Pei Qiwei's expression was indifferent.
"Then let's eat together."
Xu Yan didn't seem to care at all, or rather, she was used to it.
At the dining table, Qi Zao Zao saw that Pei Ruohan's seat was empty. Pei Qiwei raised her eyebrows, "Where's Ruohan?"
Xu Yan smiled and said, "Ruohan went out to get some fresh air. I asked her to have some fun outside for a few days."
"Where did you go?"
"America, I guess it's time to get there."
Qi Zao Zao put down his chopsticks and asked, America
Xu Yan suddenly asked in surprise: "Where is Yifei?"
"Yifei also went to the United States, but he was on a business trip." Qi Zaozao's voice was a little heavy.
Pei Qiwei's eyebrows raised even higher, but she recovered in the next second and said slowly: "It's really a coincidence."
Xu Yan was also surprised. "Yeah, or I'll call Ruohan later and ask her to meet her then."
Qi Zao Zao smiled and said, "Okay! This way I can take care of you, right?"
"Yes!" Xu Yan was also smiling.
There was nothing much to say in the following time until the meal was over. Xu Yan said she was going upstairs first, and only Pei Qiwei and Qi Zaozao were left in the hall.
"Zao Zao, do you have any ideas?" Pei Qiwei asked.
Qi Zao Zao smiled, "He's on a business trip, not accompanying Pei Ruohan to play, what can I think?"
Pei Qiwei smiled and said, "Although you say this, I know you are still a little depressed in your heart. You can't escape my sharp eyes. Don't worry, Yifei is not a confused person."
"Of course I believe him!"
"Mommy is Sun Wukong!" Pei Xiaobei suddenly shouted.
Qi Zaozao and Pei Qiwei burst out laughing.
In the evening, Qi Zao Zao looked at his mobile phone and wondered whether he should make a call.
It's daytime over there, he should be busy now, right
Pei Ruohan... Qi Zao Zao thought of Pei Ruohan and sighed helplessly. Just as Pei Qiwei said, although he said this, he was still a little depressed in his heart, even though Pei Ruohan was his biological sister.
Women are like this, they annoy themselves. You should just trust him!
Besides, it's impossible, isn't it
Qi Zao Zao's mouth curled up, "Okay, let's go to bed. Tomorrow is a new day—"
She went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her belly had grown bigger. It was almost five months pregnant. Sometimes she felt that pregnancy was a very strange thing. There was a little life in her belly that would come into this world soon.
Qi Zaozao had a big smile on her face and stroked her belly with both hands, looking very happy.
Monday was supposed to be a bit busy, but Qi Zao Zao was free. When it was time to get off work, she thought it would be pointless to go home too early, so she made an appointment with Shen Xiaofei to meet at the coffee shop they used to visit.
It is a coffee shop located in a shopping mall. Qi Zaozao and Shen Xiaofei like to come here very much. Although it is a coffee shop in a shopping mall, the environment inside is very good.
She waited for half an hour, but Shen Xiaofei came to ask for overtime, which made Qi Zaozao a little upset.
There is a special maternity products store on the fifth floor of the mall. Qi Zaozao thought about it and decided to go upstairs, but at this moment, her head suddenly felt heavy, her eyes went dark, and her body almost unstable. A pair of hands grabbed Qi Zaozao's hands in time and stabilized her body.
"What's wrong?" a familiar voice.
Qi Zao Zao turned around and saw Ji Chengen. She was a little stunned, but she reacted immediately, "It's okay, I'm just a little anemic!"
"Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?"
Not really. She should have gone to the hospital for a check-up a long time ago, but she has had a lot of things from the beginning until now, and every time she went to the hospital, there was something, so she forgot about it.
"Why are you here?"
Ji Chengen smiled: "This is the shop I opened. Why do you think I am here?"
Seeing his narrow eyebrows curved, Qi Zao Zao was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled and said, "Okay."
"Where are you planning to go?"
"I had an appointment with a friend, but she had something urgent to do, so I planned to go upstairs and hang out."
"If you don't mind, I'll go with you?"
"Will this bother you?"
Ji Chengen smiled happily, "I didn't bother you, but I just wanted to ask if you mind. You know, we had a scandal before."
Amused by his humor, Qi Zao Zao brushed the hair around her ears. "The more we try to evade, the more others will think we really have something going on. If it's fair and square, what else can they say?"
Ji Chengen accompanied Qi Zao Zao upstairs. He suddenly asked, "Where's Yifei?"
"I'm on a business trip to the United States."
"Well, by the way, shouldn't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Anemia in pregnant women shouldn't be a big deal, but I should get an ultrasound. I'd better wait until Yifei comes back."
“How happy!”
Qi Zao Zao's lips curled slightly.
Looking at her like this, Ji Chengen suddenly wanted to sigh. Why wasn't he the one who met her earlier
"Your belly is so big."
"It's almost five months, but it feels bigger than the average pregnant woman. It's starting to be inconvenient for me to move." Qi Zaozao frowned slightly as she spoke. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was bigger than that of the average pregnant woman. Although she was very thin, she could feel it.
In this case, it is always inconvenient to do things.
Ji Chengen looked at her belly and asked, "Could it be twins?"
Qi Zao Zao heard it and asked, "Really?"
"That's not what I meant. I'm just guessing! You still need to go for an ultrasound and protect the baby in your belly!"
"Hmmmm."
If they really are twins, that would be great.
"If they are really twins, we can save ourselves the trouble of having a second child!"
"Yeah!" Qi Zaozao smiled with her eyes curved, but Ji Chengen was stunned.
"I always feel relaxed when I talk to you. It seems like we've known each other for a long time even though we haven't known each other for long."
Ji Chengen's mouth curved into an evil arc, "Miss Qi, please be careful with your words. Although I am honored, you may misunderstand me if you say this!"
Qi Zao Zao burst into laughter.
Time passed quickly as Ji Chengen and I walked and talked. By the time Qi Zao Zao reacted, it was dark outside and it was already half past seven.
"It turns out it's past dinner time!"
"Since it's past dinner time, why don't you have a meal before going back?" Ji Chengen invited.
Qi Zao Zao thought about it and said, "Okay!"
She had dinner with Ji Chengen. In Qi Zaozao's eyes, Ji Chengen was a playboy when she first met him. However, after going through all those things together, she found that this man was not as she thought. He was actually quite reliable. Ji Chengen was also very humorous, and the two of them got along quite well.
After Qi returned home early, he planned to call Pei Yifei.
USA.
In the famous western restaurant, Pei Yifei slowly stood up and said, "Let's go to the bathroom first."
"Okay!" Pei Ruohan smiled happily.
After Pei Yifei went to the bathroom, his cell phone on the table vibrated. Pei Ruohan looked at it deeply for a few seconds before reaching out to take the phone.
Pei Ruohan recalled what Xu Yan said, "Find a suitable opportunity to tell Pei Yifei, tell him that you are not biological children!!!"
The phone rang again and again. At this time, she saw Pei Yifei coming over and immediately stood up, "Brother, your sister-in-law called you."
She handed the phone over. Pei Yifei glanced at her, took the phone and walked outside the restaurant to talk.
Pei Ruohan could see Pei Yifei's figure. Because of the glass, he saw the smile on Pei Yifei's face. At that moment, Pei Ruohan felt very complicated. She wished that smile was directed at her, but when she thought of those things, her mind was in a mess.
Pei Ruohan sat down slowly. Pei Yifei came over after finishing his phone call. "What's wrong?"
"Brother, I'm done eating and want to go back."
She looked at him.
"Okay! You go back first, I have something else to do."
"What are you going to do, brother?"
"Bring a gift for Zao Zao."
"... ..."
Pei Ruohan responded and stood up, but her body was a little unstable. Fortunately, Pei Yifei supported her in time.
"how?"
"It's okay, brother, you go! I'm fine!"
Pei Yifei frowned slightly, but Pei Ruohan held her bag and said, "I'll go back by myself, it's okay."
His slightly frowned brows relaxed, "Forget it, it's not like we're going back home right now, I'll take you back first."
He said he would send her back. Pei Ruohan felt a sense of joy in her heart, but also a sense of guilt. Maybe this is what it means to be in pain and happy at the same time
She knew she was selfish, but sometimes she just couldn't control it.
Really, although she was sad about what her mother said, deep down in her heart, she still felt a little happy. (To be continued)
