Pei Jingmo and a woman stood side by side, holding a little person -
It was Pei Qiongyu who had hugged her and asked her to buy a cake two hours ago.
Shen Shuhe just stayed where he was.
Inside a high-end restaurant.
Shen Shuhe sat far away, looking at the table by the window.
For some reason, she came in anyway.
She saw with her own eyes Pei Jingmo picking up food and pouring wine for Song Qingyin and wiping her mouth.
As long as it was related to Song Qingyin, he almost did it himself.
The restaurant environment was elegant, so Shen Shuhe could easily hear Xiaoyu's voice.
"Dad, you were so busy picking up food for Yinyin's mom that you forgot about your dear son!"
...
...
Xiaoyu's voice was clear and childish. Although he said that, he didn't look angry at all. He looked at the man and woman opposite him who were covering their mouths and laughing.
After saying that, Pei Jingmo and Song Qingyin picked up their chopsticks at the same time.
Two pieces of meat fell onto Xiaoyu's plate at the same time.
Xiaoyu said happily: "Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mommy Yinyin!"
Song Qingyin touched his head and said, "Xiaoyu is the oldest today. Wherever you want to go, your father and I will accompany you."
"Wow! Great!" Xiaoyu applauded and cheered.
At this time, a couple next to them whispered.
"Look at that man, he's obviously a successful man, and he even specially accompanies his wife and children to hang out." The girl was full of envy, "What a good man, but this family is so good-looking!"
"Didn't I come out with you?"
"Heh, how many times have I urged you to have this meal?"
The man suddenly stopped talking.
Hearing the conversation between the two people, Shen Shuhe felt dizzy.
She heard the word "family" many times today, but unfortunately, it had nothing to do with her.
She traveled thousands of miles and spent half a month dealing with work just to be able to get back on time today to celebrate her son's birthday.
She thought Xiaoyu would be happy.
She also thought that Pei Jingmo would soften his attitude towards her.
Unexpectedly, it was just her one-man show.
At this moment, the dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Xiaoyu wore a birthday hat, and Pei Jingmo and Song Qingyin sang a birthday song for him.
"I hope to be with my dad and mom Qingyin forever! I will work hard to grow up and become a son that you can be proud of!"
Pei Jingmo heard this and placed his warm palm on Xiaoyu's head, "Come on."
Song Qingyin said gently: "Your father and I will always be with Xiaoyu."
The three of them were all smiling, and at this moment, Xiaoyu's cell phone in his bag rang.
He took it out, and a look of panic flashed across his face the moment he saw the note.
Damn it, he forgot about his mother.
Is she still waiting at home?
"Hey, Mom..."
Hearing Xiaoyu's voice, Pei Jingmo and Song Qingyin turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
The smile on Pei Jingmo's face disappeared, and his eyes were suddenly filled with disgust and impatience.
Xiaoyu held the phone and asked carefully, "Mom, is there something wrong...?"
"The cake is back. Which restaurant are you and dad at?"
Xiaoyu frowned, "Mom, um... Dad and I haven't arrived at the restaurant yet!"
He really couldn't think of a reason.
"It's the weekend and we're stuck in traffic!"
"Which restaurant are you going to? Tell me the location and I'll be there now."
Shen Shuhe's calm voice fell into Xiaoyu's ears, and he was even more at a loss, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Xiaoyu quickly covered his phone and looked at his father for help with big eyes.
Pei Jingmo knew what was going on when he saw this. He frowned and took Xiaoyu's phone without any expression. "What's the matter?"
Chen Shuhe: "I have picked up the cake, where are you? I will come to find you now."
“No need.” Pei Jingmo interrupted coldly, and said unceremoniously: “Chen Shuhe, don’t call me and annoy me if there is nothing to do.”
After saying that, he hung up the call.
When Pei Jingmo heard the woman's voice and thought of her face, he couldn't help feeling irritated.
I arranged her to Jiugang, thinking I could stay away from her, but she still haunts me!
Xiaoyu took his cell phone and bit his lip: "Dad, Mom is looking for us. How are we going to explain it to her when we get back?"
Pei Jingmo rubbed his head and said in a deep voice: "I'll take care of it."
Hearing this, the depression on Xiaoyu's face disappeared, and his dark eyes became bright and clear: "That's great! Yinyin Mommy, we can have fun now!"
Song Qingyin patted his shoulder in response, then looked at Pei Jingmo, bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Jingmo, Miss Shen is Xiaoyu's biological mother after all, why don't you let her come over too..."
"Qingyin." Pei Jingmo's face was still dark. He looked at Song Qingyin without any wavering expression, and his tone became even colder. "If it weren't for Shen Shuhe, Mrs. Pei would definitely be you."
"So don't sympathize with her, she doesn't deserve it!"
Every time she mentioned Chen Shuhe in front of Pei Jingmo, he would get angry, so Song Qingyin rarely took the initiative to talk about it.
Today is also Xiaoyu’s birthday.
But seeing that Jing Mo still had this attitude, Song Qingyin could only hug his arm, pat it, and say okay.
Xiaoyu sensed that the atmosphere was not right. He rolled his round eyes and mentioned some interesting things that happened in his school to attract the attention of Pei Jingmo and Song Qingyin.
Soon, harmony and warmth returned here.
Not far behind, Shen Shuhe had a full view of everything.
She let out a breath and closed her eyes.
At this moment, she felt like a clown, hiding in the dark and "spying" on their intimacy as if they were a family of three.
In this family, she is the redundant one.
Shen Shuhe showed a bitter smile.
At this time, the service staff came over and said, "Excuse me, miss. I saw the injuries on your body. Do you need any help?"
Shen Shuhe looked down at the scratch on his arm, the blood had dried.
She shook her head, "Thank you, but no."
After saying that, he stood up.
The waiter saw an exquisite cake left on the table. There were cute cartoon characters drawn on it, which seemed to be from a very popular game recently.
She quickly said, "Miss, your cake..."
"Help me throw it away."
Chen Shuhe left without looking back.
…
On the busy streets, Shen Shuhe drove aimlessly.
Suddenly I saw the playground at the end of the road.
A family of three passed by outside the car. The father, mother and daughter held their daughter's hands, and the three of them walked into the amusement park talking and laughing.
Shen Shuhe stopped the car and bought a ticket to go in.
She sat on the carousel, alone in the hustle and bustle.
There happened to be a little kid next to me, and he asked his mother innocently: "Mom, aren't parents the only ones who play on the carousel with their children? Why is this girl alone?"
The mother smiled and replied: "Because this sister has no children, she came to play alone."
Shen Shuhe withdrew his gaze, the curve of his lips was cold and bitter.
After getting off the carousel, she walked on the path with her hands in her pockets. Just as she turned, she saw two figures walking towards the fork in the road.
Shen Shuhe stopped and stared at the tall figure not far away.
He was the person she thought about almost every day in Jiugang.
The other person next to him, a slender woman, was holding his arm.
I didn’t expect to meet you here again by chance.
Reason told Shen Shuhe that the phone call just now was already a humiliation to herself, and she should turn around and leave without hesitation at this time.
But seeing Xiaoyu's happy expression in her eyes, she hesitated for a few seconds before finally following him.
The amusement park was crowded with people, and Shen Shuhe followed not too far away, just enough to hear their voices.
Song Qingyin said: "Jingmo, didn't Xiaoyu say he wanted to play bumper cars? It's right in front, let's go."
"Okay. Hold on to me and don't let anyone bump into you."
"Okay~"
After saying this, the woman moved closer to the man.
At this time, the boy in the man's arms shouted, "Dad! Yinyin's mommy! Let's rush to the bumper cars!"
The three of them walked over, talking and laughing.
Shen Shuhe gripped the strap of the bag tightly, his fingertips turning white, but he soon loosened his grip and followed quietly.
In the bumper car area, three people are sitting in one car.
Pei Jingmo controlled the steering wheel and rushed into the crowd, while Song Qingyin held Xiaoyu.
They look like an ordinary and warm family of three, having a lot of fun.
During this half day, Shen Shuhe watched as long as Pei Jingmo and Song Qingyin played with Xiaoyu.
The three of them were having fun, and Shen Shuhe stood behind the crowd, watching their smiling faces for the whole afternoon.
By the end, she was almost numb and didn't know what pain felt like.
In the evening, the three of them left the garden.
Not far away, Chen Shuhe looked expressionlessly at Pei Jingmo as he gentlemanly escorted Song Qingyin into the car.
So, does she still have to stay with Pei Jingmo?
