Chapter 46: The Forty-Sixth Day of Reservedness Pei Yunhe, you have come to this day...

"What's wrong? Yinyin, are you okay?"

Pei Yunhe glanced over and saw Shan Yin covering his mouth and frowning uncomfortably.

Xi Minxia was startled and asked hurriedly, looking around. Shan Yin shook his head repeatedly and said it was nothing.

Pei Yunhe was also startled. He stopped pretending and hugged Shan Yin. "What's wrong? You were eating well just now. Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold?"

His series of questions made Shan Yin more embarrassed. Shan Yin didn't want to trouble others in the first place, and this made things awkward at the family dinner table, which made her feel even more guilty.

Pei Yunhe saw what she meant and frowned, saying to her, "It's already this late, why are you still bothering me? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Forget it, I'll take you to the hospital."

"We don't have to go to the hospital." Shan Yin pulled Pei Yunhe who was about to get up.

She said to everyone embarrassedly, "I'm fine, I just smell a bit sick, just drink some water..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach again. Shan Yin covered his mouth for fear of being rude at the dinner table.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. I need to go to the bathroom!"

"I'll accompany you—"

"Wait a minute, Miaomiao, Miaomiao will go with Yinyin to take a look. You sit down."

Shan Yin left in a hurry. Pei Yunhe wanted to follow him but was stopped by Xi Minxia.

Xi Minxia pointed at Pei Yunmiao and asked him to look after her. She turned around and saw that her son was so anxious that his eyebrows were twisted together. She felt anxious and amused.

She nodded at Pei Yunhe: "Are you not pretending anymore?"

Pei Yunhe was helpless. "Mom, what time is it now? Why are you pulling me? I'm taking Shan Yin to the hospital."

Xi Minxia laughed: "I really can't stand seeing you being so useless."

Pei Kelang and Zhou Yan smiled and shook their heads in their seats.

Pei Yunhe was embarrassed to talk about his parents, but he refused to listen when Zhou Yan laughed at him.

"Don't laugh at me. If Miaomiao has any illness or pain, wouldn't you be more anxious than me?"

Zhou Yan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Are you sure you are sick?"

Pei Yunhe twisted his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"You're just too concerned." Xi Minxia forced him to sit down, moved closer to him, and asked quietly, "Tell Mom, Yinyin, are you pregnant?"

Pei Yunhe's mouth suddenly opened wide: "What is this?"

He really didn't think about it that way. He would get extremely anxious whenever Dan Yin felt unwell, so he didn't even think about whether she was pregnant or not.

No wonder Zhou Yan looked at him with such a teasing look. This was what they meant after all.

Pei Yunhe immediately denied it: "Mom! What are you thinking? I'm not pregnant, it's not happening!"

Not to mention that he took measures every time. He made the decision the night before and absolutely respected Shan Yin's wishes. She had to study now. How could he possibly have a baby with Shan Yin?

Xi Minxia patted him again, and seeing his determined look, she felt a little regretful.

"If it doesn't, then it doesn't. Why are you so anxious? Besides, it's not impossible for this to happen."

There are two people in her family. Although Pei Yunmiao has been married for several years, her career as a star is still on the rise.

Pei Yunhe is already in his thirties and finally got married. After a month or two, there will be some movement.

Xi Minxia had long wanted to have a grandson, and she often talked about urging him to have a baby.

"If Yinyin has no objection, it's not impossible to consider it. You two are not young anymore."

Shan Yin is such a considerate person, if Xi Minxia advised her, she would definitely have no objection.

But Pei Yunhe didn't want anyone to put pressure on Shan Yin.

He sat up straight again, straightened his clothes, and looked very serious.

"Dad, Mom. Now that we've come to this, I'd like to express my stance to you two."

"It wasn't easy for Shan Yin to come this far. Although marrying into our Pei family is a marriage of convenience, it doesn't mean she has lost her independence. She came here specifically for us."

He looked earnestly at Xi Minxia and then at Pei Kelang.

"I know you two are worried, but children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so it's better to let things take their course. If we can't live a good life in this generation, how can we expect the next generation to live well?"

"That's true, but your parents also hope that you can have someone to rely on. Having children will always strengthen your relationship..."

"We are each our own support, and each other's support. Isn't this better?"

Pei Yunhe smiled and looked in the direction where Shan Yin went.

Before the marriage, he thought that this was how his life would be.

Maybe one day there will be no hope, and a marriage will be hastily started and ended hastily. Maybe you will end your life alone, devoting yourself to working day and night.

He never thought he would live such a vivid life again.

It was Dan Yin's reappearance in his life that brought some meaning back to his life.

I will hope, wait and expect.

I will want every bright tomorrow.

All this was brought to him by Dan Yin, only by Dan Yin.

He didn't want to give Shan Yin only suffering and burdens in return. He wanted Shan Yin's future to be bright and glorious.

"Yes, I still want to work hard for a few more years. Dad hasn't retired yet, and he has as many things to worry about as I do. You two old people also need to enjoy a peaceful life. There is no reason for me not to work hard."

Pei Yunhe solemnly took Xi Minxia's hand again and comforted her.

"So let's wait a few years for this matter. If you have any temper, take it out on me, don't blame Shan Yin."

After dinner, Pei Yunhe was called away by Pei Kelang again.

The father and son are of the same bloodline and cannot stay idle at home. There is always some work to do.

Pei Yunmiao didn't want the two of them to lead Zhou Yan astray, so she pulled Zhou Yan into the kitchen to tinker with something.

It was time for Xi Minxia to take a nap again, and in the end, only Dan Yin was left with nothing to do.

She helped the housewife clean up for a while, but the greasy smell of lunch still made her feel a little uncomfortable. The housewife hurriedly asked her to put down the work in her hands and go to the second-floor balcony to get some fresh air.

Shan Yin went as he was told and leaned on the carved railing of the open-air balcony. In the distance, two gray sparrows flew out from the dense branches and leaves of the camphor tree. Shan Yin looked up as they flapped their wings. The wide view did make him feel better.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been having some minor headaches and headaches lately.

Fortunately, the Pei family did not think she was pretentious, and everyone in the family was easy to get along with.

When she returned to the dinner table, Xi Minxia pulled her aside to show her concern. Even Pei Kelang, who was usually serious, asked her to pay more attention to rest.

No one said anything bad about her.

Pei Yunhe was even more protective of her, and he no longer put on his arrogant airs. He treated her the same way he usually treated her at home, which made Pei Yunmiao smile with joy.

She was a little embarrassed at first, but when she thought about it, the people in the Pei family would laugh and joke, give her instructions and care about her, all because they regarded her as family.

Then there is nothing to let go of.

She would accept it with pleasure and repay them wholeheartedly.

“Knock, knock.”

Two soft sounds brought Shan Yin back to her senses. She turned around and saw Pei Yunmiao's husband Zhou Yan coming up to the balcony with a drink.

Zhou Yan stood politely by the balcony door and didn't step in until Shan Yin nodded in greeting.

But also maintained a polite distance.

"Excuse me. Miaomiao made the milk tea. She's still playing, so she asked me to bring it to you."

Shan Yin's gaze fell on the cup of milk tea in Zhou Yan's hand. The milky white was tinged with brown, and the bottom was densely packed with many colorful taro balls.

It was indeed a drink that the little girl loved to tinker with. Shan Yin thought of Pei Yunmiao, smiled gently, and took it over. "Miaomiao is really amazing. I didn't expect she had such a skill."

Zhou Yan's rather stern face warmed up a bit when he heard this. "She has a lot of ideas when she's free, so let her try them."

Just from this subtle change in the aspect and a few words in this sentence, Dan Yin could see Zhou Yan's love and tolerance for Pei Yunmiao.

In this regard, Zhou Yan and Pei Yunhe are similar.

Thinking of Pei Yunhe, Shan Yin's heart softened. She nodded and thanked Zhou Yan: "Miao Miao is so lucky to have someone as considerate and thoughtful as you."

"What? I'm not considerate? So you're not blessed?"

Before Zhou Yanshang could reply, Pei Yunhe's slightly sarcastic voice suddenly came from the room leading to the balcony.

Shan Yin quickly looked over there. Pei Yunhe had come up to the second floor at some point. He was walking towards them with one hand in his pocket and a cup of warm water in the other.

He heard Shan Yin's words clearly. He didn't know why, but since he became closer to Shan Yin, his temper became smaller and smaller.

Shan Yin went over and pulled him back, "Don't talk like that."

There was a mixture of coquettishness and anger in her tone, which made Pei Yunhe feel comfortable, but also made him more nervous.

Pei Yunhe glanced at Zhou Yan: "Why are you here if you're not with Miaomiao?"

Zhou Yan was helpless. He tilted his head and pointed at the cup of milk tea in Shan Yin's hand. "According to her order, come up and give the drink to her sister-in-law."

Pei Yunhe frowned, "What's this about affection or life or death? How weird."

He took the cup of milk tea from Shan Yin again, and before he could hold it firmly, he asked, "You're already feeling unwell, and you're still drinking cold tea?"

Then he glared at Zhou Yan: "Miao Miao can't drink cold drinks either. Do you usually indulge her like this?"

Zhou Yan pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

Pei Yunhe looked at Shan Yin again, as if he thought it was outrageous: "That's it? You're so considerate?"

What a series of three questions, leaving Shan Yin and Zhou Yan speechless.

Who is so outrageous and weird?

"No, don't drink this. Drink this instead." Pei Yunhe still ignored the restraining look in Shan Yin's eyes. He took the milk tea away with one hand and handed over the warm water he had brought with the other hand. "Drink something warm. You're the one who has an upset stomach."

Shan Yin was afraid of offending Zhou Yan and Pei Yunmiao, "It's not that cold, it's okay to drink a little."

“It does matter.”

Shan Yin stared with wide eyes at Pei Yunhe who was trying to interrupt her.

He was a little too stubborn, and Zhou Yan was still here.

Looking over, Pei Yunhe and Zhou Yan, both of whom are of similar height, have broad shoulders and long legs, and are truly a sight to behold.

But the one with the cold face had a teasing smile on his face; the one with the gentle and elegant face frowned and looked like he was not in a position to speak.

It's just short of showing off its fangs and claws.

Shan Yin was afraid that Pei Yunhe would be laughed at, so he frowned, "Miao Miao worked hard to make this, it shouldn't be wasted."

When Pei Yunhe heard this, he thought, isn’t this a piece of cake?

"Who said it was a waste?"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and drank the cup of milk tea.

I usually don't like anything sweet, but this one tasted incredibly smooth.

But after drinking it, he felt sick and uncomfortable. He frowned for a long time, but after that he still raised his eyes and looked at Dan Yin.

“It’s not a waste.”

“…” Shan Yin really didn’t know what to say about him.

That's all.

I don't want to pay attention to him.

I'm too lazy to watch him spread his feathers like a peacock.

"You drank the drink Miaomiao gave me so kindly. Well, I'll give you this place. I'm going to go find Miaomiao."

It was rare for Dan Yin to have a hint of anger in his tone.

Pei Yunhe was anxious and happy, and wanted to show off to Zhou Yan, but in the blink of an eye, Shan Yin stuffed the cup of warm water he had brought back into his hands.

“Don’t waste this.”

After she finished speaking, Pei Yunmiao's voice happened to be heard downstairs calling her, and Shan Yin left in a hurry.

"Hey! Shan Yin!"

Pei Yunhe couldn't stop her.

On the huge balcony, a gray bird flapped its wings and flew over, and suddenly only Pei Yunhe and Zhou Yan were left.

The sun was shining brightly here, and it was noon, so the masculine energy was a bit too strong. Pei Yunhe and Zhou Yan stared at each other, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

It was Zhou Yan who laughed first. He looked at Pei Yunmiao, who was holding Dan Yin's arm intimately in the yard downstairs. He turned his long legs and leaned lazily on the carved railing.

He glared at Pei Yunhe, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and finally said this: "Pei Yunhe, you have come to this day."
