Chapter 28 A Perfect Match

Pei Muyi paused, then looked up at him.

He was always calm and composed, as if nothing could frighten him.

Lin Xiyin felt that she would probably never see him lose his composure again in her life.

"Is it appropriate for you to bring up divorce papers at this time?" Pei Muye asked.

Lin Xiyin asked expressionlessly, "What's inappropriate?"

Pei Muye chuckled softly, then began to eat without saying anything more.

Lin Xiyin looked at the abundant food in front of her, but didn't want to eat a single bite.

After a short while, Pei Muye looked at her and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Xiyin put down her chopsticks and leaned back in her chair; "I don't want to eat."

"Not to your liking?" Pei Muye glanced at the food on the table.

It's the same restaurant I've been to before; it has a great reputation.

Lin Xiyin's stomach suddenly rumbled twice.

The room was very quiet, so the noise was quite abrupt.

Lin Xiyin blushed instantly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Pei Muyi paused for a moment, then chuckled: "Don't be stubborn with me, and don't ruin your own body. Punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes is the stupidest thing you can do."

"You're the stupid one." After her initial embarrassment, Lin Xiyin suddenly felt a surge of anger: "I don't like any of what you ordered."

Pei Muyi put down his chopsticks: "What would you like to eat? I'll have them deliver it."

Judging from these words, Pei Muye seems to be very gentle and considerate.

Once a man like that lowers his pride and starts to coax someone, who can resist him?

But Lin Xiyin did not feel flattered.

Pei Muyi is rich and powerful; with just a word from him, someone will naturally take care of things.

There's nothing to be moved by.

Lin Xiyin was only angry with herself, only now understanding this principle.

But it's not too late.

She said, "I want to eat hot and sour noodles."

"Hot and sour... rice noodles?" Pei Muye's eyes showed a hint of doubt: "Hot and sour rice noodles? Is that a dish?"

“It’s a snack,” Lin Xiyin explained. “President Pei is very busy and of a high status. It’s normal that he doesn’t know the hardships of ordinary people and has never heard of hot and sour noodles.”

Pei Muye noticed the teasing in her tone but wasn't angry. He took out his phone and said, "I'll have someone deliver it."

Lin Xiyin said, "It won't taste good if it's sent over."

Pei Muye looked at her: "You want to eat out?"

Lin Xiyin didn't know what had gotten into Pei Muye. Today, it seemed like he was going to let a little bit of affection slip through his fingers onto her again.

Is it because he's in a good mood?

She wanted to see how long Pei Muye could keep up the act.

She said, "Yeah, I want to eat out."

Half an hour later, Lin Xiyin looked at the bustling and crowded night market and felt a little unreal.

Pei Muye... actually came with her.

Seeing her lost in thought, Pei Muyi asked her curiously, "Isn't this the place?"

Lin Xiyin snapped out of her daze: "Yes."

"Where?"

Lin Xiyin glanced at him, then lifted her leg and walked forward.

This is a pedestrian street and one of the most bustling night markets in Haicheng.

It's also a popular travel destination.

Shops lined both sides of the street, and tourists thronged the area, mostly young people, including many couples. Some were holding hands, some were arm in arm, and some were even kissing in public.

It was lively and bustling, full of the warmth of everyday life.

Lin Xiyin felt that Pei Muyi had probably never seen such a place before.

He has his own business empire, and it's no exaggeration to say he's extremely busy every day.

How could someone have been to such a place?

Lin Xiyin initially intended to tease him, but after arriving, she genuinely craved hot and sour noodles.

There were too many people. As Lin Xiyin walked in, she was bumped on the shoulder by several people.

She rubbed her shoulders, and the next second, someone grabbed her wrist.

She looked up and saw Pei Muye.

The man who had been walking behind her had somehow ended up walking alongside her.

In such a place, Pei Muyi stood out from the crowd, both in terms of his facial features and his clothing.

Lin Xiyin had already noticed that many people were looking at him.

Pei Muye's large hand moved down her wrist and took her fingers in his.

Lin Xiyin did not resist; she was still looking at Pei Muye.

Pei Muye's slender fingers slipped inside, interlacing with hers, and their fingers became one.

Lin Xiyin belatedly looked down and saw the two hands clasped together.

"There are many people." Pei Muye's voice remained calm: "Don't get separated."

Having already slept together, Lin Xiyin believed that no intimate contact could move her.

But at this moment, with Pei Muye's fingers intertwined with hers, her heartbeat stopped for a beat.

She didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

Soon we arrived at the place that sells hot and sour noodles.

The hot and sour rice noodle stall is located outside a restaurant; it's not even a shop, just a stall.

There were several people in line ahead of them, and Lin Xiyin and Pei Muye obediently joined the last line.

"Is it delicious?"

Suddenly, Pei Muye's voice came to my ears.

Lin Xiyin looked up and met Pei Muye's earnest gaze.

Lin Xiyin said, "Why don't you try it and see?"

"It smells good," Pei Muye said. "No wonder you want to eat it."

Lin Xiyin noticed that many people around her were secretly looking at Pei Muye.

Many people's eyes were also on her.

Lin Xiyin knew that she was fairly good-looking, but not to the point of being the center of attention.

Those people were mainly looking at Pei Muye.

He was dressed in a bespoke suit and a black cashmere coat, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness.

It doesn't match the bustling and noisy night market at all.

The hot and sour noodles were made quite quickly, and it wasn't long before it was their turn.

The boss also noticed that these two customers were unlike any he had ever seen before, both in terms of appearance and demeanor.

Especially the man's demeanor; he didn't seem like someone who would come to a night market at all.

Lin Xiyin swallowed hard and told the owner her request: "Just mildly spicy, lots of vinegar, no cilantro, thank you."

A few minutes later, the shop owner handed her the items in a plastic bag.

Lin Xiyin smiled and thanked her, her eyes curving into crescents.

The boss couldn't help but sigh, these two were a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.

Lin Xiyin took the hot and sour noodles. Before, she only had a slight desire to eat them, but now she felt an urgent need for them.

But there were only two small tables and a few stools next to the stall, and they were all full of people, leaving no room to stand.

Lin Xiyin had no choice but to turn back.

She broke free from Pei Muye's hand just as she was paying.

As a result, after taking only a few steps, Pei Muye took her hand again, and their fingers were still intertwined.

Lin Xiyin was eager to eat, so she walked quickly, with Pei Muye following closely behind.

There seemed to be more people, but luckily, no one bumped into her again.

The two quickly came out of that street, and Lin Xiyin stopped at the intersection.

Pei Muye stopped walking and tilted his head to look at her: "Why did you stop?"

Lin Xiyin let go of his hand and held the cardboard box: "I want to eat here."

Pei Muyi looked around, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Eating on the street?"

Lin Xiyin said, "What's the big deal? There were food stalls everywhere at the night market."

"Get in the car."

"don't want."

Lin Xiyin didn't want to go into the car. The car was a closed space, and the thought of the smell of hot and sour noodles floating in Pei Muyi's luxury car made her feel uncomfortable.

“It’s windy,” Pei Muye said, grabbing her wrist and leading her forward. “I’m afraid of the cold.”

“You can go back to the car and wait for me…” Lin Xiyin frowned: “You can go now, I’ll take a taxi myself later.”

Pei Muye didn't say anything, but just pulled her forward.

They soon arrived at where they had parked. Pei Muye simply shoved her into the passenger seat and then got in himself.

Once in the car, Pei Muyi looked at her and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Seeing that he didn't care, Lin Xiyin stopped being reserved. She took out disposable chopsticks, picked out a few strands of rice noodles, puffed out her cheeks, blew on them, and then slurped them down.

The sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors made Lin Xiyin's mouth water instantly, and she ate one bite after another.

As soon as he got into the car, Pei Muyi started the engine and turned on the heater.

In a short while, fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Xiyin's forehead.

Pei Muye suddenly chuckled.

Lin Xiyin paused in her eating.

The hot and sour noodles on the chopsticks slid down, splashing soup, a few drops landing on the car's leather seats, and another drop splashing onto Lin Xiyin's nose.

Lin Xiyin sniffed, and suddenly a large hand appeared in front of her.

Pei Muye wiped the red oil off her nose and said, "Be careful, don't get it in your eyes."

Lin Xiyin belatedly felt a little embarrassed.

She brought Pei Muyi out, and when Pei Muyi asked her what it tasted like, she said she would know once she tasted it.

Once she got on the bus, she just ate by herself.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her today, but she just can't resist this smell.

She only came to her senses then, glanced at Pei Muyi, and handed him the hot and sour noodles: "Would you like to try some?"

The two of them had slept together countless times, so sharing a bowl of hot and sour noodles was nothing unusual; Lin Xiyin wasn't that pretentious.

Pei Muyi picked up his chopsticks, took out a strand of rice noodle, and just as he ate it, he saw Lin Xiyin looking at him with bright eyes.

"How is it?" Lin Xiyin asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

Pei Muye nodded: "It's delicious."

"I knew it!" Lin Xiyin said happily, "His place has the best food, there's always a line. Let me tell you..."

Seeing that Pei Muyi hadn't touched his chopsticks, Lin Xiyin swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She was really stupid; why did she tell Pei Muye all this?

Pei Mu was born a prodigy, how could he possibly like these things?

She took the lunchbox, said nothing more, and quietly finished her bowl of hot and sour noodles by herself.

Pei Muye stood beside him, but remained silent.

After Lin Xiyin finished eating, she tied a knot in the plastic bag.

She said, "Take me back to the hospital, my car is still there. Otherwise, I'll take a taxi myself."

After a few seconds of pause, Pei Muye said, "Okay."

They remained silent the entire way.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lin Xiyin immediately got out of the car and never looked back.

When she reached her car and opened the door, she glanced to the side as if it were an unintentional gesture.

Pei Muye's car has already driven away.

Lin Xiyin curled her lips into a smile and got into the car.

Then, I inadvertently noticed a bag in the passenger seat.

She didn't remember when she had this thing in her car. She bent down, reached over, picked it up, and saw that it was a bag from the hospital.

She opened it; inside was a box of medicine and a medical record.

The medication is... a long-term contraceptive.

The name Ming Qingwan is written above, and her appointment time is this afternoon.

Lin Xiyin was stunned for a few seconds before she belatedly realized what was happening.

Pei Muye did not come to the hospital specifically to visit Lin Yiming.

He was probably buying medicine for Ming Qingwan and just happened to come and take a look.

Moreover, the fact that Ming Qingwan was given this medicine suggests that the two of them have already consummated their marriage.
