Chapter 45 Sleeping Together, It's only natural

Because of Pei Yaohai's words, Lin Xiyin didn't sleep well that night.

She didn't want to go back to the Pei family, didn't want to share a room with Pei Muyi, and even less did she want to see Ming Qingwan.

Moreover, she's pregnant now, which makes her quite emotionally sensitive.

I had suffered some grievances before, but I just endured them.

She herself didn't mind suffering, but she couldn't bear to see her child suffer along with her.

She thought to herself, "I'm getting a divorce anyway, why should I put myself through this?"

Then she can stand up to Ming Qingwan head-on. If Pei Muye sees this, he might be afraid that she will bully Ming Qingwan, which will speed up the divorce process.

Thinking about it this way, returning to the Pei family seems to be a beneficial thing for her.

Lin Xiyin was immediately motivated.

Even so, she still dawdled and didn't want to go the next day.

It wasn't until the afternoon that she packed some things, put on a backpack, and went to the Pei family's house.

When she arrived, Zhou Yusu and Ming Qingwan were both there.

"Oh, who's this?" Zhou Yusu's tone was always sarcastic: "So you've finally decided to come back?"

Ming Qingwan was arranging flowers when she saw Lin Xiyin and said with a smile, "Sister Xiyin, you're back. Do you know how to arrange flowers? Brother Muye bought this. Take a bunch and put it in your room."

Zhou Yusu said, "This was bought for you by Mu Ye, why would you give it to her?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xiyin and said, "She doesn't appreciate your kindness."

In the past, upon hearing such words and learning that Pei Muye had bought flowers for Ming Qingwan, Lin Xiyin would have been secretly heartbroken and devastated.

But now, she smiled gently and looked at Zhou Yusu: "Auntie, does your son not even have the money to buy a bouquet of flowers? Why should someone else send flowers to his own wife?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ming Qingwan again: "I don't care for it. You can keep it and enjoy it slowly."

After saying that, she didn't look at the two of them again, picked up her bag, and went upstairs.

Just kidding, she could put up with being bullied before, but she won't tolerate it anymore!

Zhou Yusu was furious: "Look at what she's saying! What did my Yunqing do to offend her?"

Ming Qingwan said, "Mom, don't be angry. Maybe Sister Xiyin is just in a bad mood."

"As expected of someone from a humble background, they have no manners at all!"

Lin Xiyin went upstairs and shut out all noise.

She changed into her pajamas and lay comfortably on the big bed.

It must be said that Pei Muye knows how to enjoy life.

Whether it's a house in the clouds or an old house, the bedding is always the best.

This made Lin Xiyin feel that the mattress in the rented apartment was uncomfortable no matter how she slept.

She's not that delicate; she can just put up with it.

But when he returned to the Pei family home and lay in bed, he couldn't help but sigh—it's still good to be rich.

Then, Lin Xiyin fell asleep.

She had no other symptoms of pregnancy except that she could eat and sleep well.

She read a lot of information online, and also knew that many pregnant women around her experienced early pregnancy symptoms.

He even vomited so much that he couldn't eat anything.

At this moment, Lin Xiyin felt especially fortunate that the baby in her belly was so well-behaved and sensible.

Pei Muyi didn't work overtime today; in fact, he raised his hand to call a halt even before the shareholders' meeting was over.

Yue Linze thought he had something to say, so he leaned closer and whispered, "President Pei?"

Pei Muyi stood up and buttoned his suit jacket: "Off work."

Yue Linze was taken aback.

For Pei Muye, working overtime is commonplace, and leaving get off work on time is very unusual for him.

Besides, the meeting isn't over yet.

But Pei Muye had already left.

Yue Linze had no choice but to tell the other shareholders to leave in an orderly manner. When he returned to the office, he found that Pei Muye was nowhere to be seen.

When Pei Muye returned home, everyone else was there. He glanced around but didn't see Lin Xiyin.

"Brother Muye, you're back!" Ming Qingwan said with a smile as she sat down next to Pei Yunqing. "We've all been waiting for you to have dinner."

"Where's Xiyin?" Pei Muye took off his coat, unbuttoned his cuffs, and asked as he walked.

Zhou Yusu said, "She went upstairs as soon as she got back. Your father didn't even see her. I don't know what she was doing upstairs. She has no manners at all..."

Her voice trailed off as she spoke the next sentence.

Pei Muye glanced at her indifferently, then went upstairs.

Zhou Yusu immediately fell silent.

Recently, Pei Muyi's temper has become increasingly cold. Although he still doesn't talk much, when he looks at someone, his gaze is as if he wants to kill them.

Zhou Yusu dared not provoke him.

Pei Muye went upstairs, didn't knock, but pressed the doorknob and went inside.

It gets dark early in winter; it's not even six o'clock yet, but it's already quite dark outside.

The bedroom lights were off, but by the light from the hallway, he could see a large, protruding bulge on the bed.

Lin Xiyin is sleeping.

Pei Muyi gently closed the door, and it took a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness in the bedroom.

He went to the bathroom first, and took a shower in the dark without turning on the light.

Then she came out of the bathroom while drying her hair.

With a soft snap, the lights came on brightly.

Pei Muye subconsciously closed his eyes.

Then a scream came from beside my ear.

Fortunately, Lin Xiyin knew to control the volume and didn't go too far.

Pei Muye opened his eyes.

Lin Xiyin sat on the bed, her hair disheveled, looking like a little madwoman.

At this moment, she covered her face and said, "Pei Muyi, do you have an exhibitionist tendency?"

Who would have thought that when she turned on the light, she would see something?

Pei Muye looked down at himself and said, "I'm in my own home, in my own bedroom, and I just took a shower. What's wrong with that?"

"Are you pretending I don't exist?!"

"You're my wife." Pei Muye dried his hair with one hand as he reached for his clothes. "You've not only seen me, but you've touched me, and even kissed me..."

"Stop talking!" Lin Xiyin didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she would see Pei Muye coming out of the bathroom naked.

She was half asleep, but she instantly woke up.

She lowered her hand and saw Pei Muye bending down to put on his underwear.

It's not exactly an elegant gesture, but the way this man performs it exudes a unique sexual tension.

Hormones are surging.

For a moment, Lin Xiyin forgot to look away.

Pei Muyi went to get his pajamas again, and as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he said, "If you want to look, just look openly. It's not like I'm not letting you see. Why are you covering your eyes?"

"Who wants to see this!" Lin Xiyin felt her cheeks burning.

I didn't want to be alone with him, nor did I want to say anything more to him. I got out of bed and walked towards the door.

Pei Muye had already put on his shirt and reached out to stop her: "Where are you going?"

"Eat your food," Lin Xiyin said. "Let me go."

"Let's go down together."

"We're not elementary school students, we don't have to go to the toilet together!" Lin Xiyin broke free from him, opened the door and went out.

Pei Muye was quiet for a few seconds, then a smile appeared on his lips. He quickly put on his pants, casually dried his hair, and followed him out of the bedroom.

The family began to eat.

Zhou Yusu originally wanted to say a few more words to Lin Xiyin, but when she saw that Pei Muye was following behind her, she immediately shut up.

Pei Yaohai asked, "Why have you been in your room the whole time? I thought you hadn't come back yet."

Lin Xiyin said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't sleep well last night. I fell asleep upstairs."

“Nowhere outside is as good as home, so let’s come back and live here,” Pei Yaohai said. “Besides, it’s more lively at home.”

Lin Xiyin smiled but didn't say anything.

The meal went fairly well.

After finishing her meal, Lin Xiyin said goodbye and went upstairs.

Zhou Yusu couldn't hold back any longer and said, "What does she take this family for? What kind of airs is she putting on?"

Pei Muye glanced at her: "Which eye of yours saw her putting on airs?"

Zhou Yusu didn't dare to confront Pei Muye directly, so she could only look at Pei Yaohai: "Listen to what he's saying? Is this the attitude and tone of someone speaking to an elder?"

Pei Yaohai said, "Don't have such a big problem with Xiyin."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Pei Muye again: "Talk to your aunt properly."

Pei Muye got up and went upstairs.

Zhou Yusu said angrily, "Look at him!"

Pei Yaohai frowned: "That's just his personality, you know that. Don't provoke him in the future!"

Pei Muye went upstairs and into the bedroom.

Lin Xiyin lay down on the bed again.

Pei Muye walked to the bedside and looked at her: "You just finished eating and you're already lying down?"

"I'm sleepy," Lin Xiyin said. "I want to go to sleep."

Pei Muye asked her, "Is your period over?"

Lin Xiyin immediately looked at him warily: "What are you going to do? Pei Muyi, we're getting a divorce, I can't let you touch me again!"

"I was just asking, I didn't mean anything by it." Pei Muye's tone carried a hint of displeasure: "Or do you think I'm preoccupied with that matter?"

"Isn't that right?" Lin Xiyin replied irritably, "When have you ever not only thinking about that one thing!"

Pei Muye didn't know how to answer for a moment.

What she said doesn't seem to be wrong.

But they are husband and wife, shouldn't they be living a married life?

"By the way, I have something to discuss with you."

Pei Muye looked at her: "What?"

"Could you sleep somewhere else these next few days?"

"What do you mean?" Pei Muye's eyes flashed with coldness. "This is my home."

“I know. Didn’t you often work overtime and not come home at night?” Lin Xiyin said, “We’re getting a divorce soon. Aren’t you afraid people will misunderstand if you keep sleeping in the same room with me?”

"What misunderstanding? We're not divorced yet. Isn't it natural for a married couple to sleep in the same room?"

Lin Xiyin was too lazy to argue with him: "Anyway, I don't want to sleep in the same room as you. Your dad made me come back, I had no choice. Then you figure out a way to stay somewhere else for a few days!"

After saying that, she pulled the blanket up and covered her head.

Then she heard footsteps, followed by the door being slammed shut.

Pei Muye has left.

Lin Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief.

She can't keep using her period as an excuse forever.

She didn't want Pei Muye to touch her, but she was even more afraid that Pei Muye would disregard her feelings and force her to do that kind of thing.

It's not like this hasn't happened before.

Pei Muye went to find Lu Zuofan.

Lu Zuofan lives in the same villa area, and his home even has fitness equipment.

Pei Muye turned the treadmill to the highest setting.

Lu Zuofan, holding a glass of red wine, casually remarked from the side, "Won't your baguette hurt from swinging around like that?"

Pei Muye glanced at him and said, "Are you sick in the head?"

Lu Zuofan laughed uncontrollably: "Hey, you and Lin Xiyin... do you have problems with your sex life? If you ask me, if she says she wants a divorce, just go for it. Your brother isn't any better. What, you stole his fiancée and you feel guilty?"

Pei Muye gave him a cold look and said in a low voice, "If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll throw you out!"

"Are you being unreasonable?" Lu Zuofan said, "This is my home!"

Pei Muye ignored him.

Lu Zuofan then said, "I have some information here, do you want to buy it?"

Pei Muye said, "Get lost!"

"About Lin Xiyin."
