Chapter 229: A Ridiculous Night

“Not yet!”

Xie Zhaoyuan raised his hand to Pei Xingzhi's chest and turned his head to avoid his kiss.

"Why not?" Pei Xingzhi frowned in grievance. "Today is the forty-fifth day after your birth. The doctor said you can have sex after forty-two days. And yesterday I took you to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, and the doctor said you've recovered very well."

"I, I'm not talking about this..." Xie Zhaoyuan's face turned red from the hot air he exhaled when he spoke, and his eyes became wet. "I suddenly remembered that I have a question I haven't asked you, so I wanted to ask you to wait a moment..."

"...Oh." Pei Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up, "Ask."

Xie Zhaoyuan turned and looked at him. He was not wearing glasses, and without the cover of lenses, his beautiful phoenix eyes stood out so beautifully.

Xie Zhaoyuan stared into his eyes infatuatedly and asked softly, "You and Ye Ci knew about this a month ago, but why didn't you tell me a word?"

Pei Xingzhi's burning gaze moved ambiguously on her face, his voice a little hoarse due to the stimulation of lust: "Think about it, you had just given birth at that time, and your body was still very weak. I didn't want these bad things to disturb your recuperation, so I wanted to wait until you finished your confinement and then slowly tell you."

"You've already worried enough about me, I don't want you to be unable to sit still for the rest of your month."

"...Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan had already guessed the reason why Pei Xingzhi had concealed the truth from her. Now she asked one more question just because she wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

"I forgive you." She raised her hands and hugged Pei Xingzhi's neck again, saying with a sweet smile.

"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi lowered his head and rubbed Xie Zhaoyuan's nose affectionately with his straight nose tip, "Then thank you, Ayuan."

Xie Zhaoyuan didn't say anything, but just raised his head slightly and took the initiative to kiss Pei Xingzhi.

Soft lips with a faint fragrance gently pressed against Pei Xingzhi. Pei Xingzhi was stunned for only a second, then he quickly took the initiative.

A ridiculous night...

Xie Zhaoyuan was so tired at night that he closed his eyes and slept until one o'clock in the afternoon.

When I got up, the snow outside had stopped. Pei Xingzhi went to the studio after lunch, leaving her only a note telling her to sleep well.

She tore off the note and stuffed it into her phone case. While replying to messages on WeChat, she dragged her tired body into the bathroom to wash up.

Although Pei Xingzhi had gone too far last night, he still had some sense and did not leave any marks on Xie Zhaoyuan's neck.

After washing up, Xie Zhaoyuan went to the cloakroom to change into some thick clothes, then stealthily opened the door and went downstairs.

Although she could sleep in as much as she wanted at home, this was the first time she had slept so late since she returned home.

She was afraid her parents might notice something, so she went down the stairs stealthily.

"Zhao Zhao, wake up."

Before she had even walked up one flight of stairs, Xie Jiangshan in the living room spotted her.

Her body stiffened, and she buried her head guiltily as she replied, "Ah...get up, get up."

Xie Jiangshan smiled and waved at her: "No matter how good the TV series is, you should remember to go to bed early. Come down and eat quickly. Don't stay hungry for too long."

"TV... series?" Xie Zhaoyuan walked downstairs holding the handrail, not quite understanding what Xie Jiangshan said.

Bai Ruiying poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at her with a smile: "Xingzhi said that you stayed up late watching TV until five in the morning last night, so you stayed in bed and couldn't get up today."

"...Yes." Xie Zhaoyuan immediately smiled, "It's all because the TV show was so good. I can't sleep well unless I watch the ending."

Bai Ruiying shook her head helplessly: "Then are you sleeping well now?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Practical, very practical!"

Bai Ruiying: "Come down to eat when you feel at ease. Mom made you cola chicken wings!"

"Here I come!" Xie Zhaoyuan no longer felt guilty.

Pei Xingzhi still had some conscience. Knowing that she was thin-skinned, he lied in advance to perfectly cover up the problem of her not being able to get out of bed.

She happily went downstairs to eat, played with Xiangxiang for a while after dinner, then put on her scarf and hat and went out.

Duan Jialu organized a dinner party at home and invited them to discuss various wedding matters.

"Zhao Zhao, wait a moment!"

As Xie Zhaoyuan just walked into the yard, Bai Ruiying suddenly chased him out from the living room.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Zhaoyuan stopped and looked back with a smile.

Bai Ruiying casually put on a coat and ran up to Xie Zhaoyuan in slippers.

"Is Xiao Duan's home far away? How long does it take to drive there?" She adjusted Xie Zhaoyuan's hat and scarf, and zipped up Xie Zhaoyuan's down jacket to the top.

Xie Zhaoyuan said: "It's not far, it only takes 20 minutes by car. But if the snow on the road is not cleared well, it may take half an hour."

Bai Ruiying frowned, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Be careful on the way there, and remember to send a message to mom when you arrive. If mom is fine later, she will come to pick you up in person."

"Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan agreed obediently first, and then asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you today? I'm just going to Xiao Duan's house, not going far away."

"Hey..." Bai Ruiying sighed and smiled awkwardly, "Mom doesn't know what's wrong with me. I just saw you go out, and I felt a little panicked for no reason."

"Zhao Zhao, can you please not go out today? How about we go to Xiao Duan's house tomorrow?"

Xie Zhaoyuan held her hand and ignored her worries: "Mom, the weather forecast says there will be heavy snow tomorrow, which will be inconvenient to go out. And Xiao Duan's husband just came back from a business trip abroad, and he said he brought us a lot of good things, I want to go over and take a look."

"...Well, okay then." Bai Ruiying didn't want to spoil the fun, so she forced herself to convince herself that her panic meant nothing.

"Then please be careful on the road and ask the driver to drive slower."

Xie Zhaoyuan opened his arms and hugged her, pressing his cheek against hers: "Don't worry, Mom, I will be careful. You stay at home and take care of Xiangxi. I'm going out to play."

Bai Ruiying touched her head and said with a forced smile, "Go ahead. Mom asked someone to buy shrimps bigger than my palm and will cook them for you tonight."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Okay!"

She let go of Bai Ruiying, said goodbye to her, and went to the gate to catch the bus humming a little song.

Bai Ruiying watched her leave until she saw the car parked at the gate drive away, then she returned to the living room with a sad face.

While Xie Jiangshan was teasing Xiang Xiang with toys, he looked up at Bai Ruiying and said jokingly, "Zhao Zhao is going to play with his friends, not running away from home. Look how worried you are."

Bai Ruiying covered her chest and sat down on the sofa in a daze: "I know Zhao Zhao is going to play with her friends, and I also know that she will go home obediently after playing. I just feel a little uneasy, so I want to talk to her more."
