Chapter 173 It Will Never Happen Again
After she replied, Qu Jianhang looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
His brows were furrowed.
"fine."
She hadn't figured out how to tell Qu Jianhang about her relationship with Pei Muyi.
Originally, when she saw Qu Jianhang and knew that she was her mother, she was not without nervousness.
But Qu Jianhang's attitude and enthusiasm made her forget her identity and status.
At that time, she was just an ordinary mother.
"If anything happens, you must tell Mom, okay?" Qu Jianhang patted her hair. "Mom won't let Ruan Ruan suffer."
Lin Xiyin was touched, but also wanted to laugh a little; "Mom, no one is bullying me."
As soon as she spoke, the entire carriage fell silent.
Qu Jingyou clung to the car seat and looked back, her eyes wide open.
In an instant, tears welled up in Qu Jianhang's eyes.
She covered her mouth, looking at Lin Xiyin in disbelief: "Ruanruan, what did you just call me?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
The word "mother" that just slipped out of her mouth was something she hadn't expected.
It wasn't that she didn't want to call out, but rather that she had been preparing for a long time and was a little embarrassed to do so.
I probably overthought it, because I just blurted it out.
After she blurted it out, Lin Xiyin belatedly felt a little embarrassed.
Qu Jingyou spoke up from the side: "Auntie, I heard it, she called you Mom."
Qu Jianhang hugged Lin Xiyin tightly: "Daughter, my good child!"
Lin Xiyin also wanted to cry.
Qu Jingyou quickly reached out her hand: "Okay, okay, Auntie, don't cry. What if your eyes get red and swollen and scare Youyou?"
"Yes, yes, don't scare Youyou." Qu Jianhang quickly wiped away his tears, and when he saw that Lin Xiyin was also crying, he said, "You silly child, stop crying."
Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement, then whispered, "I understand, Mom."
Qu Jianhang sniffed, suppressing his excitement, and nodded: "Good boy."
Then he held Lin Xiyin's hand and wouldn't let go.
Qu Jianhang's driver is steady and honest, and drives in a very proper manner. He never takes advantage of a yellow light to cross the line quickly.
So when they arrived at Pei Muye's villa, as soon as they parked their car, another car behind them stopped as well.
Then Pei Muye got out of the car.
Like Qu Jingyou, he was also wearing a mask.
Lin Xiyin was a little anxious, but she couldn't say anything to Pei Muye in front of Qu Jianhang.
She promised herself she would rest at home, but she still went out.
"President Pei?" Qu Jianhang greeted him first, "We've come to pick up Youyou."
Qu Jianhang was very dissatisfied when he learned that Lin Youxing was staying at Pei Muye's place.
Pei Muye so easily enjoys the fruits of his daughter's hard work in raising her for three years.
But she didn't want to say much to Lin Xiyin. She just wanted to wait a few days until she was more familiar with Lin Xiyin before she could talk to her more.
"President Qu," Pei Muyi could only address her that way, "Welcome."
After he finished speaking, he went to look at Lin Xiyin. Lin Xiyin walked to his side and asked him, "Do you still have a fever?"
Before Pei Muyi could even open his mouth, she said, "I want to hear the truth."
“Thirty-seven or so,” Pei Muye said. “There’s no problem.”
Lin Xiyin glanced at him, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"What about Yoyo?" Qu Jianhang asked.
“He’s taking a nap,” Pei Muye explained. “He was tired from playing in the morning, so he went to sleep after lunch.”
He gestured for him to come in: "President Qu, please come in and sit for a while."
Qu Jianhang also wanted to get to know this person better, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
Qu Jianhang reached out to Lin Xiyin: "Ruan Ruan, come here."
Lin Xiyin obediently walked to her side and took her arm.
"Is this where you lived before your divorce?" Qu Jianhang asked.
Lin Xiyin answered honestly, "I didn't live here for very long back then."
Qu Jianhang nodded.
The villa was nicely decorated, but in her opinion, it was a bit small and the location wasn't particularly good.
Pei Muye was unaware that his future mother-in-law disliked him.
He quickly stepped forward and opened the door: "Please come in."
I regret dismissing all the servants; now that guests come, there's no one to serve tea or water.
Pei Muye had no choice but to entertain them himself.
Lin Xiyin said, "I'll do it, you sit down."
I still have a fever and don't know what I'm busy with.
Pei Muye smiled and said, "I'm not tired, I'm fine."
After insisting on making tea, Lin Xiyin had no choice but to explain to Qu Jianhang and follow him.
Qu Jianhang frowned as he observed their interaction.
It seems the daughter is completely under his control.
This won't do.
Qu Jingyou whispered to Qu Jianhang, "Auntie, there are a lot of people who like Pei Muye."
She had heard of several.
Qu Jianhang's brows furrowed even more deeply.
She had never heard of Pei Muye being a womanizer before, but now it seems she didn't know enough about him.
She needed to have a serious talk with Lin Xiyin about Pei Muye.
Pei Muye brought over the tea set, brewed the tea, and then respectfully placed it in front of Qu Jianhang with both hands.
Qu Jianhang said calmly, "Thank you."
Pei Muye then handed it to Qu Jingyou.
Qu Jingyou quickly replied, "Thank you."
Then, he picked up a glass teapot next to him, poured out the fruit tea, and placed it in front of Lin Xiyin.
He explained, "Yinyin only drinks fruit tea in the afternoon. If either of you has any requests, you can let me know."
Qu Jianhang glanced at Lin Xiyin.
They noticed that Lin Xiyin's lips were curved into a smile, and she was looking down at them.
Silly girl.
A cup of tea is all it takes to win you over?
Pei Muye was clearly showing off his affection for his wife in front of his mother-in-law.
Qu Jianhang asked, "How did you discuss the issue of the children?"
Pei Muye glanced at Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin said, "The child is with me. If he wants to see the child, he can do so on weekends or evenings."
"Do you also have custody of the child?"
Lin Xiyin nodded.
Qu Jianhang then asked, "What are your thoughts on the child's surname being Lin?"
The question was directed at Pei Muye.
Pei Muye said, "The child was born to Yinyin and will take her surname. I have no objection."
In fact, after finding Lin Xiyin, Qu Jianhang had considered having Lin Xiyin change her surname.
However, she also considered Lin Xiyin's profession.
She's a teacher, and the fact that she changed her surname will become common knowledge, so she'll inevitably have to face all the gossip.
Another thing she considered was Lin Youxing.
The child is already over two years old and has had this name for over two years. Changing the surname suddenly wouldn't be a good idea.
Therefore, she planned to discuss it with Lin Xiyin. If Lin Xiyin didn't mind, they could continue to use the surname Lin.
Her daughter's surname is unimportant.
She wasn't such a pedantic person.
But it's not so easy to get forgiveness from someone who has hurt her daughter.
After chatting casually for a while, Lin Xiyin said, "I'll go check on Youyou; she'll probably wake up soon."
Qu Jianhang quickly said, "Can I go with you?"
She wanted to see her grandson as soon as possible.
“Mom,” Lin Xiyin said hurriedly, “Wait a moment, I need to tell Youyou first.”
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianhang immediately sat up obediently: "Okay, then hurry up and bring Youyou over... No, no, no, when Youyou wakes up, don't call him."
Lin Xiyin smiled and replied, "Okay."
Pei Muye also wanted to follow, but after glancing at Qu Jianhang, he ultimately didn't dare to move.
After Lin Xiyin left, Qu Jianhang's aura changed.
She asked Pei Muye with a cold face, "What are your plans now? About Ruanruan and the child."
Pei Muye answered truthfully: "I'm currently pursuing someone. As for the child... I've never thought about fighting for custody with Yinyin. Youyou is our child, no matter what."
Qu Jianhang was fairly satisfied with his answer.
She said, "Before you pursue someone, get rid of all your other women. You can pursue someone, but I can't guarantee you'll succeed."
Orioles and swallows?
Pei Muye was somewhat puzzled.
He asked directly, "What does 'yingying yanyan' mean?"
“It’s the woman next to you,” Qu Jianhang said. “If you want to pursue someone, you have to show sincerity.”
Pei Muye said directly, "I don't have any women around me."
Qu Jianhang glanced at him but said nothing more.
Anyway, she will find out what kind of person Pei Muyi is.
Whether it was true or not, she didn't believe Pei Muye's own words.
Qu Jingyou felt the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, as Qu Jianhang and Pei Muye remained silent.
Lin Xiyin has not yet come out.
Qu Jingyou didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and drink her tea.
Fortunately, not long after, Lin Xiyin led Lin Youxing out.
From then on, Pei Muye was completely ignored.
Lin Xiyin greeted Qu Jianhang and Qu Jingyou with her child.
Qu Jianhang was overjoyed to see this exquisitely beautiful little figure.
In her imagination, this is what her daughter looked like when she was little!
Moreover, the little one's eyes resemble Lin Xiyin's, and Lin Xiyin's eyes resemble her father's.
So when Qu Jianhang saw this little guy, he wanted to give him all his love.
When they left Pei Muyi's villa, Lin Youxing was carried by Qu Jianhang.
They had all gotten into the car when Pei Muyi couldn't help but call out to Lin Xiyin.
"Are you... coming back tonight?"
He knew the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to ask.
Lin Xiyin shook her head: "I took Youyou home directly tonight. I have to go to work tomorrow, and Youyou has to go to school too."
"Then I'll pick you up for work."
"No need, your cold won't get better so quickly. I can drive myself now."
After meeting and recognizing Qu Jianhang today, Lin Xiyin's emotions have returned to normal.
"Yinyin..."
"I'm leaving." Lin Xiyin waved to him, worried that the people in the car were waiting for her, and then got into the car.
Pei Muye had no choice but to watch them leave helplessly.
Lin Xiyin felt lost, sad, and lonely a few days ago.
Now, she has a mother.
Then, I'll just leave him.
Pei Muye's phone rang. He answered it and asked, "What's up?"
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Lu Zuofan's voice rang out: "It's the weekend, you're not still working overtime, are you? I'm at the club, come over for a drink."
"I'm not going. I've taken cephalosporin."
"So you're using that kind of reason to reject people now?"
Do I need a reason to reject you?
Lu Zuofan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Do you know how long it's been since we last met? Do you even still consider me your brother?"
Pei Muye said, "If you don't respect Lin Xiyin, then I don't need you as a brother anymore."
"You're saying this to me for the sake of a woman?"
“That’s the person I love,” Pei Muye said. “The only person I’ve ever loved in my life, and the only person I will ever love. You can decide for yourself how to get along with her in the future.”
Pei Muye hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
He will never let anything he overlooked before, or anything that caused Lin Xiyin to suffer, happen again.
