It was like a competition, a contest to see who could wash the clothes the fastest.
The two little ones were about the same age, and as they sat there, even Pei Yuchen, who was usually quite aloof, softened his expression.
The aroma of food wafted out of the house.
It was Song Yanzhi who was preparing dinner.
He walked into the yard carrying a bag. "Xiao Bao, Ji Chuan."
Xiao Bao looked up and saw him. A brief glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly frowned, lowered his head, and ignored him.
Because Pei Yuchen said last night that he would have lunch with him, but he didn't come back at noon.
He didn't go when he said he would pick him up from school, and he even carried that annoying Pei Jichuan on his back.
fraud.
Pei Jichuan called out, "Uncle Pei."
Pei Yuchen nodded, unconcerned by his son's indifference. He glanced at the clothes in their basins—not many—and quickly washed and hung them up, saying, "Let's go inside and eat some grapes. I bought some for you."
Pei Jichuan's eyes lit up, but he subconsciously looked at Xiao Bao.
When Xiao Bao heard that it was grapes, his eyes couldn't help but peek into the bag.
He loves sweet things, but he usually eats oranges and apples the most.
I rarely eat fruits like grapes.
Anyway, it looks delicious.
So when he saw Pei Yuchen go into the kitchen to wash fruit, he couldn't help but follow behind like a little tail.
Song Yanzhi is cooking.
After this period of recuperation, her complexion has improved significantly.
Pei Yuchen entered the kitchen and glanced at her.
He then picked one and held it to her lips, saying, "Try it."
Song Yan subconsciously took a step back.
I saw the grapes being offered to my lips.
She frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes: "Take it away, I don't like grapes."
Although he knew that Pei Yuchen would have contact with Zhou Qiao in his previous life.
But even though they're not divorced yet, I still find it offensive that they secretly celebrate with each other.
Not to mention that this man had just mentioned to Xiaobao last night that he was going to pick him up for dinner, and then he turned around and celebrated with another woman.
Song Yanzhi was angry because he neglected Xiaobao but had time to go to job interviews with others.
Pei Yuchen's smile faded.
She clearly loves grapes the most. When they got married, she sat alone in the bridal chamber and ate a whole bunch of them. When he came in, she blushed and told him that they were delicious and that she liked them very much.
That's why he saw the fruit when he passed by the fruit stand and thought of buying it.
The disgust on her face stung Pei Yuchen's eyes.
He withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes.
After serving the grapes to her somewhat dazed son, she whispered, "I'm leaving the military and I plan to work at the airport."
Song Yanzhi replied calmly, "Oh, congratulations."
Pei Yuchen paused again.
Song Yanzhi usually treated him indifferently.
But this unfamiliar attitude is something I've never encountered before in a long time.
It felt like I had returned to the time when I had just come back.
She was like that back then, full of thorns.
He wondered if it was because he had mentioned last night that he was going to pick up Xiaobao for lunch, and he was angry because he couldn't come back.
Pei Yuchen subconsciously explained, "Sorry, I was held up by something at noon."
He called Song Yanzhi to explain the situation, but she hung up too quickly.
"Holded back by something?" Song Yanzhi sneered. "Was it something that kept you occupied, or a woman?"
Pei Yuchen paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"
Song Yanzhi said impatiently, "Don't you know what you've done? You have time to accompany other women to job interviews, but not time to have a meal with your son. I really don't understand what you, as a man, think of your child. Forget it, I don't want to waste my breath on you. I don't care what you do with other women, but please keep this attitude. There's no need to be nice to Xiaobao one minute and neglect him the next, giving him hope only to disappoint him the next!"
Pei Yuchen was stunned. "What did you say? When did I have an interview with another woman...?"
He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly remembered Zhou Qiao, whom he had met at the company.
Something flashed in his eyes, and his voice was low and cold: "You mean Zhou Qiao?"
Song Yanzhi looked at him and sneered, "It's all over the family compound. You only found out now that you and your brother are celebrating together today?"
Pei Yuchen wasn't stupid; he had already realized something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "You've misunderstood. I didn't go to the interview with her; I just went over to check after receiving a call."
“I did run into her at the company. She was probably interviewing for a flight attendant position. She saw me, greeted me, and then I left. Later, I went to the silver jewelry store to pick up the silver bracelet I ordered for you, which is why I came back a little late. It wasn't to celebrate with her.”
Pei Yuchen knew that there were too many conflicts and misunderstandings between him and Song Yanzhi.
He didn't know where to begin explaining, but he knew he had to tell her that it wasn't what she thought.
No matter how much of a scoundrel he is, he wouldn't abandon her and the children to celebrate with another woman.
Song Yanzhi stopped speaking and stared at him quietly, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood in his words.
If her initial misunderstanding of Pei Yuchen was due to the plot, then...
However, after learning from Pei Yuchen that he had indeed sent her money, and that he hadn't been the one to take Zhou Qiao home on their wedding night, she realized that things weren't as they seemed.
So who is spreading this story and deliberately causing misunderstandings between them?
Zhou Qiao?
Song Yanzhi narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Yuchen assumed she was still suspicious, so he took out a silver jewelry box from his bag. The red box had a bow tied on it.
He saw Song Yanzhi looking over, opened the box, and inside was a finely polished silver bracelet.
Because it was custom-made, it took several days to make.
He took it out and handed it to her, saying, "Your name is in here. If you don't believe me, I can take you to a silver jewelry store to ask."
Song Yanzhi pursed her lips and did not reach out.
Pei Yuchen said in a low voice, "Although I don't know who is spreading rumors outside, it's definitely not true. I think you can believe me."
He paused for a moment, then said, "But no matter what, I've made you feel bad, so I want to apologize."
He had already apologized and given Song Yanzhi a way out. After calming down, Song Yanzhi asked him, "What if I told you to find a different job?"
Pei Yuchen remained silent for a while, and just when Song Yanzhi felt that he was being unreasonable, he said in a low voice, "Okay."
