Mingyao nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, "I'll remember."

She eagerly offered Pei Siyu some fruit, saying, "Honey, eat some fruit quickly."

Pei Siyu took a bite of the pear before asking, "Why did you set those functions for the robot?"

As Mingyao poured water, she said, "Some people are introverted and don't like to express their joys and sorrows to others."

"If a robot could accompany me, the pain in my heart could be alleviated to some extent."

"Aren't you one?"

Mingyao handed the warm water to Pei Siyu with a bright smile.

Mingyao's words struck Pei Siyu hard. He stared at Mingyao in astonishment, his gaze gradually hardening.

"Aren't you going to drink water?"

Meeting Pei Siyu's burning gaze, Mingyao said nervously, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Coming to his senses, Pei Siyu looked away and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing."

He took the water glass and drank it down in a foul mood.

In the afternoon, Ye Jinfeng came to visit Pei Siyu, bringing many tonics with him.

Mingyao made an excuse to go see Meng Zhenzhen, leaving the two of them alone.

Ye Jinfeng looked in the direction Ming Yao left, nudged Pei Siyu's arm twice with his elbow, and chuckled, "You used to make a face like you were eating flies whenever a woman got close to you."

Why treat her so differently?

Pei Siyu glanced at him and said, "She's my wife."

Ye Jinfeng looked at Pei Siyu suspiciously, "What did you just say?"

Is there a problem?

Not long ago, Pei Siyu referred to Mingyao by her full name when talking about her in front of him, but now he calls her "wife". Is that not a big problem?

Ye Jinfeng once thought that Pei Siyu would die alone, but he never expected to see this iron tree bloom in his lifetime.

Ye Jinfeng smiled mischievously and said, "You two are such a loving couple, it's not appropriate for me, as your friend, to continue to bother you."

"Since you seem to be alright, I'll be going now."

"etc."

Pei Siyu stopped him and asked, somewhat embarrassed, "I have a few questions for you."

Ye Jinfeng stared at Pei Siyu as if he had discovered a new continent, his expression full of surprise.

"You actually asked me a question!"

He smiled broadly and said with great interest, "I'm all ears!"

Pei Siyu cleared his throat and began, "I have a friend."

Ye Jinfeng frowned, covering his upturned lips with his hand. "Well, you have a friend, and then what?"

"My friend doesn't exactly like a woman; he even dislikes her."

"But one day he discovered that the woman wasn't so annoying anymore, and that she could even affect my friend's mood."

"why is that?"

Ye Jinfeng blurted out, "You like her, what else could it be?"

Pei Siyu paused for a moment: "You like it?"

He grinned, retorting sarcastically, "How could it be liking?"

“My friend doesn’t like her. He finds her annoying. She’s a troublemaker and sometimes doesn’t think things through. She gets scammed without even realizing it.”

He wanted to continue speaking, but then he noticed Ye Jinfeng staring intently at him. "Is there a problem?"

Ye Jinfeng nodded: "There's a serious problem."

"You've fallen hopelessly in love with Su Xueya."

Pei Siyu: "..."

He glared at Ye Jinfeng with a stern expression, his face tense: "I told you, he's my friend!"

Ye Jinfeng looked at Pei Siyu with great interest, clicking his tongue in disapproval.

"Besides me, who else do you have?"

"Still not admitting it?"

Pei Siyu's face turned pale and then flushed as his little scheme was exposed.

Ye Jinfeng pretended to be unhappy and said, "I treated you like a brother, and this is how you treat me?"

"Sigh, once you have a wife, you forget about your brothers."

"I'll take you as a cautionary tale and never get married in my life!"

Ye Jinfeng was used to being surrounded by women, and he simply couldn't imagine how boring and tedious it would be to be married to a woman for the rest of his life.

Pei Siyu glared at him, tacitly agreeing with Ye Jinfeng's words, while also expressing his dissatisfaction through silence.

After the physical examination, Meng Zhenzhen's condition was better than the last time.

Even though it was only a little bit, Meng Zhenzhen and the old lady were very happy.

The old lady even gathered people to prepare for a proper celebration.

Mingyao wanted to continue chatting with Meng Zhenzhen when her phone rang.

She rushed to the emergency exit and answered Su Qiqiang's call.

"Xiaoxue, which ward is President Pei in?"

"Dad," Mingyao gripped her phone tightly and asked tentatively, "You've come to the hospital?"

Su Qiqiang said with a smile, "President Pei is injured. How can I, as his father-in-law, sit idly by and do nothing?"

"Come pick me up at the hospital entrance."

Mingyao panicked, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her chest.

What you fear most is what will happen to you.

Su Qiqiang had little contact with Pei Siyu and was completely unaware of Pei Siyu's intelligence.

If Su Qiqiang shows any sign of something amiss, Pei Siyu will act like a scout, investigating the cause thoroughly.

She clenched her fists, her heart pounding in her throat.

Mingyao knew that lying was wrong, and she promised her grandmother that she would not hurt Pei Siyu.

But... she hasn't figured out a solution yet.

In short, we must not let Su Qiqiang see Pei Siyu!

Mingyao rushed to the hospital entrance but did not see Su Qiqiang.

She called again and learned that Su Qiqiang had already arrived at the ward.

Mingyao's body became stiff and cold. She almost lost all ability to think and rushed to the ward as quickly as possible.

Ye Jinfeng had already left, and Su Qiqiang and Pei Siyu were chatting and laughing.

"Xiaoxue".

Pei Siyu noticed Mingyao standing at the door first.
