Chapter 156

At night, Gu Cunxi finished her shower and came out wrapped in a towel, wanting Xiao Peipei to blow her hair. She quietly opened the door and found her standing by the window, sighing, without turning on the light. Her back looked a little lonely. She quietly walked behind her, but Xiao Peipei didn't respond. The light from her phone screen shone on her face, cold and clear.

Gu Cunxi stood behind her and glanced at the phone screen. Xiao Peiyin only then noticed her and quickly put away the phone. He put his arm around her waist and said, "When did you stand here? You're sneaking around like that."

"I wasn't secretly thinking about it. You were just too lost in thought." Gu Cunxi hugged her back, thinking of the photo he had just seen, and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about? Is there something on your mind?"

Xiao Peiyin hesitated for two seconds, shook her head and said, "Nothing, maybe I'm a little tired. I'll heat up some milk and bring it to you."

After saying that, he let go of her and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came in with milk: "Drink some, I put honey in it, it's good for your skin."

After drinking the milk, Xiao Peiyin pulled her to blow dry her hair. From the mirror, she could see her occasionally distracted eyes and her hands pausing from time to time. She looked absent-minded. It was because of that photo.

It just flashed by, and she didn't see it clearly. It was a photo of a little girl, very cute, her daughter. In her memory, the child was three years old four years ago, and she should be in elementary school now.

She never heard Pei Yin mention it again after they got together. She only knew a little from her parents that the custody was given to Chen Feng. She was deliberately avoiding it just now. She didn't know whether she didn't want to mention it or was afraid that she would mind.

After drying their hair, the two of them leaned on the bed. Xiao Peiyin sat beside her silently in a daze. Gu Cunxi replied to a few emails, snapped shut the computer, put it aside, and turned over to press her: "Xiao Peipei"

"Hmm?" Xiao Peiyin struggled a bit, then stopped moving. "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? You really don't want to tell me?" He kissed her face and bit it lightly: "Then let me guess?"

Xiao Peiyin didn't know what to say, hesitation was written on her face. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Cunxi changed his approach, lying on her, rubbing her neck and said: "Xiao Peipei, the other day I saw the girl that Aunt Wang brought downstairs was so cute..."

"Hmm?" Xiao Peiyin was stunned for a moment before she reacted and asked, "Do you like children?"

"Yes, but I prefer girls. Boys are too naughty."

Xiao Peiyin was pressed down by her and couldn't get up. He raised his head and looked at her and said, "Girls... are quite cute."

"If she looked like you, she would be even cuter. I would buy her lots of beautiful clothes, a smaller version of you." After saying that, he captured her lips, licked them, and said, "Xiao Peipei, if I say I want it, can you give me a chance?"

She was stunned for a long time before she stammered, "You...you mean, you want one of our..."

Before he could finish, Gu Cunxi shook his head and denied it: "Don't you already have it?"

Xiao Peiyin immediately understood that everything she had said just now was for this last sentence. Cunxi had seen the photo, and when she didn't say anything, he pestered her and asked again, "Will you give me a chance to take care of the child?"

"You...don't mind, she is..."

Pressing his lips against hers, Gu Cunxi pinched her face as punishment: "So you didn't mention it because you were afraid I would mind."

Xiao Peiyin was silent and turned away. Gu Cunxi grabbed her chin and made her look at him, saying one sentence at a time: "Xiao Peipei, you underestimated me again."

"No, I... I'm just afraid that you will think she is me..."

——Hmm

The kiss was like punishment, and the bite caused her to hurt slightly. Gu Cunxi let her go, tapped her cheek and said, "She is your child, that's all, Xiao Peipei. She was born by you, she looks like you, and she has your blood flowing in her body. To me, this is everything. It's the reason why I can love her, do you understand?"

Before she could reply, her body was spun around, and the weight pressed down on her: "Xiao Peipei, you're cheating! Yesterday we agreed that it would be my turn today... and you're pressing me again!"

Her hands were held above her head, and Xiao Peiyin leaned over her ear and whispered in a sobbing voice: "Gu Cunxi, I... love you." The sobbing voice instantly calmed her down and she stopped struggling. Peiyin's warm breath filled her ears: "Xiao Peipei, are you crying?"

"No..." Xiao Peiyin denied it. Gu Cunxi patted her with both hands and joked, "Are those tears welling up in your eyes because of what I just said?"

It was originally a joke, but Xiao Peiyin leaned over to her ear and nodded, telling her: "Yes, I am moved by you. You are always willing to accept everything from me, but never ask anything of me."

"Who said there isn't?" Gu Cunxi retorted, and her low chuckle was heard in his ears: "Then tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Well, it's a bit too much." Gu Cunxi thought for a moment and began to pour out beans, saying a long string: "I want you to be happy, I want you to be healthy and safe, I want you to..."

After a lot of babble, Xiao Peiyin smiled gently, nodded repeatedly and asked, "What else?"

"I want you to love me more, and tonight..."

Before she could finish her words, the quilt covered her. Xiao Peiyin pressed her down and said with a smile, "I can love you more!"

——Hmm

The legs exposed outside were gradually retracted into the quilt

After staying in Nanjiang for more than half a month, she returned to Jianghuai. The first thing she did after getting off the plane was to look for Jiang Rao. However, she received a call. Jiang Rao's tired and lazy voice was obviously not awake yet. He asked them to go to his house. Gu Cunxi hesitated before agreeing.

"Cunxi, how about we go to your house some other day? Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

"It's okay, I can just bring these specialties to her. Cheng Sheng might be there too, so I can give them to them too."

Mingjiang Garden

Arriving at the door, Gu Cunxi knocked for a long time but there was no sound from inside. Just when he was about to call her, the door opened and Jiang Rao was standing at the door in his home clothes, looking exhausted.

"Come in"

I took two pairs of slippers

Gu Cunxi had sharp eyes, and when Jiang Rao leaned over, he saw that the inside of her loose collar was covered with red marks, forming a patch...

Cheng Sheng, is he so fierce...

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Jiang Rao held his waist and turned to look at them. Gu Cunxi coughed and brought Xiao Peiyin in. He put the local specialties aside, glanced at them and asked casually, "Are you alone?"

Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Hmm..." Then he changed the subject: "You two have been gone for more than half a month, it seems like you had a good time."

Xiao Peiyin glanced at her and pursed her lips. Gu Cunxi suppressed a smile and asked, "How about you? You look good too."

Jiang Rao was drinking water, and was choked by her words and started coughing. She didn't know how Gu Cunxi saw that she was right, but she was about to fall apart.

There was a rustling sound of keys outside the door, and Jiang Rao's heart trembled. The door opened.

"Sister, I bought..." Cheng Sheng was stunned when he saw the two extra people in the living room, then looked at Jiang Rao: "I bought Shengjian..."

"Sister Pei Yin, you're back!"

"Well, I just got off the plane and brought you some local specialties."

Jiang Rao took the pan-fried buns and went to the kitchen without looking at Cheng Sheng. Gu Cunxi saw that she was walking awkwardly and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was poked by Pei Yin. Gu Cunxi turned his head and understood the moment he looked at her. The look in his eyes clearly said, "Are you stupid?"

Jiang Rao and Cheng Sheng were both silent. Neither of them looked at each other, avoiding answering. Instead, they changed the subject and asked, "You two came to see me because of something, right?"

"Well, about the custody case."

Gu Cunxi briefly explained the situation, and Jiang Rao directly handed them a verdict: "We won the first trial. The verdict was just issued yesterday. I didn't have time to tell you that legally he is no longer able to support the child, so you don't have to fight this case at all."

Gu Cunxi glanced at the verdict and was sentenced for multiple crimes.

Indefinite...
