Chapter 198 This is what you think of me
Lin Xiyin's idea was actually a sudden whim.
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
Hearing Pei Muye's anger, she also got angry: "How is it absurd? Aren't you always kissing? After kissing, don't you just think about that thing?"
After Lin Xiyin's voice disappeared, the whole room fell silent.
Pei Muye looked at her with a deep gaze, his eyes filled with hurt and sadness.
He said, "So, you think... I only think about that thing. You said men think only with their lower bodies, and that's what you think of me too."
Hearing this, Lin Xiyin felt inexplicably guilty.
Pei Muye looked at her: "Yinyin, is that really what you think of me?"
Lin Xiyin pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Pei Muye didn't say anything, but silently picked up a set of loungewear and put it on.
After he finished dressing, he said, "I'm going to my room to change. I'll take you back later."
After saying that, he went into the room.
Lin Xiyin felt so stupid.
I ruined a perfectly good date.
And tonight... she was originally going to stay the night.
Although they didn't plan to live together, there are so many bedrooms here, she can just stay in any one of them.
Pei Muyi must be very happy.
As a result, she made such a scene.
Pei Muyi quickly changed his clothes and came out wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His handsome face was calm and indifferent.
It was exactly like how he used to face her every day three years ago.
Lin Xiyin's heart trembled, unsure whether it was heartache or bitterness.
They came to the villa this time because they wanted Lin Youxing to have a great time.
Pei Muye personally drove her back to Yunhai Home.
Before leaving the villa, Lin Xiyin left behind the things Lin Youxing needed, which were in her bag.
The bag was quite large, and there were quite a few things inside.
Pei Muye glanced at it casually, but Lin Xiyin quickly closed the bag, so he didn't see anything.
Pei Muye remained silent throughout the journey, and Lin Xiyin did not speak either.
When they arrived at the Cloud Sea House building, Lin Xiyin paused for a few seconds, then unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "I'm leaving now."
Pei Muye hummed in agreement.
He didn't move, nor did he help her unbuckle her seatbelt or kiss her as he usually did.
Lin Xiyin reached out to push the car door.
Pei Muye suddenly called out to her: "Yinyin."
Lin Xiyin's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"Get some rest early tonight," Pei Muye said. "I'll pick you up in the morning and take you to work."
Lin Xiyin thought he was angry and wouldn't drive her to work anymore.
She said, "You're with Youyou, and you have to take care of him in the morning, so you don't need to worry about me."
"I'll take you back from work, then take Youyou back. There's still time."
"Don't run back and forth, it's too tiring..."
"I only have so much time to spend with you each day, and you're even cutting back on that time?"
Lin Xiyin had nothing to say, so she could only nod and say, "I understand."
She got out of the car and waved to Pei Muyi: "Then I'll go in."
Pei Muye lowered his eyes to look at the steering wheel and hummed in agreement.
He started the car and drove away after Lin Xiyin went inside.
Lin Xiyin went upstairs, but there was no one at home.
Since Qu Jianhang wasn't there, she asked Lin Xiyin and Youyou to go to Pei Muye's place as well, while everyone else in the family took a vacation.
The house was empty and so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Xiyin chuckled self-deprecatingly, returned to her bedroom, took a shower, and went to bed.
Lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep at all.
She picked up her phone and scrolled to her chat window with Pei Muye.
She rolled over and lay face down on the bed, biting her finger involuntarily, unsure of how to talk to him or what to say.
Just then, I suddenly saw a few words appear on the dialog box.
The other party is typing.
Is Pei Muye going to send her a message?
She stared intently, wanting to see what Pei Muye was going to say.
After waiting for a while, no news came.
Then I noticed that the text on the dialog box had disappeared.
Are you not going to send it?
Lin Xiyin blinked and saw the words "The other party is typing" appear again.
As far as she could remember, she had encountered a similar situation before her divorce.
What were Pei Muye's feelings when he wanted to send her a message?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiyin felt a pang of heartache.
Without further hesitation, she started typing.
Pei Muye was struggling with how to tell her.
He was a little angry tonight, but after seeing Lin Xiyin off, he felt that he had gone too far and said too harshly.
Moreover, it was he who kept talking about kissing in front of Lin Xiyin, and what Lin Xiyin said wasn't wrong.
He wanted to apologize, but didn't know how to start. Just as he was choosing his words, he saw Lin Xiyin's message.
She said: I'm really sorry about what happened today. I shouldn't have misunderstood you, and I shouldn't have said those things to you. It's all my fault.
Upon seeing this, Pei Muyi felt an overwhelming tenderness in his heart.
How could he possibly make Lin Xiyin apologize?
He quickly replied: It's all my fault, it's all my fault.
Lin Xiyin replied: Can I make a phone call?
The next second, Pei Muye called.
He began, "Yinyin, I'm sorry..."
Lin Xiyin interrupted him: "You don't need to apologize. It was my fault for saying those things. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things."
"Then let's not talk about it anymore," Pei Muye said. "From now on... I won't make you unhappy."
"I don't know either." Lin Xiyin felt her earlobes burning as she listened to his voice. "From now on, let's be like we are today, communicating with each other promptly whenever something happens, okay?"
“Okay,” Pei Muyi said. “No matter what happens, you have to tell the other person how you felt and what you were thinking. Yinyin, I’m not very bright, and I overthink things. Today… I was really scared, afraid you would be angry…”
"I'm sorry." Lin Xiyin felt even more heartbroken upon hearing this. "I won't do it again."
"Let's not talk about this." Sensing the self-reproach in Lin Xiyin's voice, Pei Muye felt a pang of sympathy: "Did you take a shower?"
"I've already showered." Lin Xiyin regretted it more and more as she thought about it, and couldn't help but say, "Actually... I was planning to stay at your place tonight."
Pei Muye was taken aback.
Lin Xiyin said, "My mom went to Uncle Yan's place, and there's no one at home. She specifically told me to bring Youyou and stay at your place for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Pei Muyi stood up abruptly: "So you're home alone now?"
Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement: "The house is empty."
"I've come to pick you up."
"No." Lin Xiyin quickly stopped him: "It's already very late, don't run back and forth."
I'm worried about leaving you alone.
"It's okay, I often live alone, I'm used to it."
When she said that, Pei Muye thought of the past three years, when she was pregnant and gave birth alone, and when she was abroad, she lived alone and had no one to take care of her when she got sick.
He was heartbroken.
"Come pick me up tomorrow morning," Lin Xiyin said. "I'll stay at your place tomorrow night, okay?"
"good."
Sensing the sadness in Pei Muyi's voice, Lin Xiyin quickly said, "I want to eat the steamed buns from that place in the villa area tomorrow."
Pei Muye immediately said, "I'll buy it and go over there tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Xiyin's tone was slightly amused: "Were you just about to send me a message?"
"Yes," Pei Muye said directly, "I wanted to apologize to you, but I was afraid it would upset you."
"I'm fine," Lin Xiyin said. "It wasn't your fault to begin with."
The two chatted for a while longer. When they checked the time, Pei Muye couldn't bear to let her stay up all night.
"Go to sleep early, I'll come pick you up first thing tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, the huge weight in Lin Xiyin's heart immediately disappeared.
She felt relaxed and happy, a smile playing on her lips. She rolled over in bed, hugged the blanket, and kept thinking about Pei Muye.
I don't know when I finally fell asleep.
Lin Xiyin woke up on her own in the morning, and just after washing up, she received a call from Qu Jianhang.
"Yinyin, are you awake?"
"Get up, Mom. What's wrong? Why are you calling me so early?"
"It's like this, your Uncle Yan caught a cold, but he had to leave on a business trip earlier than planned. I was worried about him, so I decided to go with him. That's why I'm telling you."
“Then go ahead,” Lin Xiyin said. “Is Uncle Yan seriously ill? Mom, you should take care of yourself too.”
"I know," Qu Jianhang said. "He's in good health. I was just worried that he wouldn't rest properly after he went there, so I went to keep an eye on him. How did you sleep last night at Pei Muyi's place?"
Lin Xiyin said, "I came back last night, but I didn't stay at his place."
"What's wrong?" Qu Jianhang asked curiously, "Did something happen?"
"Of course not." Lin Xiyin smiled. "I have a book at home, and I happen to have some information to look up, so I came back. Don't worry, I'll stay at his place tonight."
Hearing that the two hadn't argued, Qu Jianhang was relieved: "Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."
"Then Mom, you must take care of yourself, take good care of Uncle Yan, and take good care of yourself too."
She hadn't even had time to put her phone down after hanging up when it rang again.
This time it was Pei Muye who called.
She quickly answered it.
"I just called, but the line was busy," Pei Muyi said. "Are you up so early?"
"It was my mom calling," Lin Xiyin said. "She's going on a business trip with Uncle Yan and wanted to let me know."
"Okay, I'll be downstairs right away."
"So early?"
I want to see you as soon as possible.
Lin Xiyin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly said, "I'll change my clothes and go downstairs now."
"No rush," Pei Muye said. "Take your time."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiyin changed her clothes and hurried downstairs.
Then I saw a black luxury car.
Pei Muyi rarely drives himself, but whenever he needs to pick up or drop off Lin Xiyin, he always acts as her driver.
The cars they drive are sometimes different.
The man stood beside the car, tall and handsome.
Lin Xiyin jogged over and stopped in front of him: "Did you just arrive?"
"Just arrived." Pei Muye reached out and touched her hair. "Get in the car, it's cold outside."
He opened the passenger door and let Lin Xiyin get in. Pei Muye quickly got into the driver's seat and handed her the lunchbox.
"Eat it while it's hot," Pei Muye said. "Be careful, it'll burn you."
"Eat in the car?"
No wonder Lin Xiyin asked that question.
Pei Muye is an exceptionally meticulous person, even to the point of being a bit of a germaphobe.
His car always had a faint, cool fragrance.
He couldn't possibly eat in the car.
Others dared not.
Pei Muyi looked over: "It'll get cold soon, eat it quickly."
