Chapter 44 Let's raise them together!
"My cooking is at least better than takeout, right?" Pei Muyi frowned. "Eating too much takeout is bad for your health."
"I'm afraid you'll poison me."
"Lin Xiyin!"
Sensing the anger in his voice, Lin Xiyin looked up at him again: "We're getting a divorce, what are you doing? Are you trying to make me think you still have feelings for this marriage? Pei Muyi, you might as well just tell me directly that you don't want a divorce for the sake of the company, then I'd respect you more."
"I don't want a divorce," Pei Muyi said, "but not because of the company."
Lin Xiyin's heart skipped a beat: "What?"
"Lin Xiyin..." Pei Muye called her name, but his gaze looked elsewhere: "Let's not get a divorce, let's start over, okay?"
Starting over without getting a divorce?
What is he saying?
Lin Xiyin almost thought there was something wrong with her hearing.
What does Pei Muye mean?
Did you quarrel with Ming Qingwan, so you came to try and win her back?
This was the only explanation Lin Xiyin could think of.
She even smiled and asked, "Did you and Ming Qingwan have a fight?"
"Qingwan? Why are you mentioning her now?" Pei Muye's voice betrayed surprise. "Is it related to her?"
If Lin Xiyin didn't know how close the two were, just looking at Pei Muye's current expression, she felt that she would definitely be fooled by him.
Unexpectedly, Pei Muyi's methods of deception were so sophisticated.
There was not a trace of hypocrisy on his face.
Lin Xiyin suddenly lost the desire to communicate with him.
They even lost interest in the food on the table.
She said, "Pei Muyi, you don't need to say any of that. We can't start over. Right now, all I want is a divorce."
Pei Muye looked at her for a few seconds, then turned and went into the kitchen.
Lin Xiyin watched his back as he stood quietly in the kitchen, as he took off his apron and sorted the items into the refrigerator.
Finally, he came out of the kitchen, put on his coat, and became that aloof and dignified young master of a wealthy family again.
He didn't say a word, got dressed, and left.
Lin Xiyin thought he was a lunatic!
He didn't suffer any losses on this trip.
Ke Linxi has lost her appetite!
But for the sake of the baby in her belly, Lin Xiyin forced herself to eat a bowl of rice.
The thought of going back to the old house in a few days and spending every day with Pei Muyi gave her a headache.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiyin decided to go out for a walk.
She did a lot of research online and learned that pregnant women shouldn't stay at home all the time.
Going out for some fresh air and a break is good for the child.
She just didn't expect to run into an acquaintance when she went out.
It is Qu Jingyou.
Qu Jing was the first to see her and called out to her from afar, "Sister!"
Lin Xiyin looked up and saw Qu Jingyou, as well as the man beside her.
It was that man who called Qu Jingyou away at the last banquet and told her not to exchange contact information with just anyone because he didn't know what the other person's motives were in approaching Qu Jingyou.
"elder sister!"
Qu Jingyou walked over, very happy: "I didn't expect to run into you!"
Lin Xiyin still liked her very much: "I'm very happy too."
However, Lin Xiyin looked at her and asked, "Did you go out to play?"
"Yes, I went to the west!" Qu Jingyou said with a smile; "The scenery there is so beautiful! It's just that I got a tan again!"
Lin Xiyin asked, "Is the sunscreen I gave you not working well?"
"Huh?" Qu Jingyou was taken aback, glanced at her brother subconsciously, and then said, "I, I forgot to use it..."
Lin Xiyin could tell from her expression that she was lying.
Looking at the man behind her, one can probably guess why.
She smiled and said, "It's okay. I have an appointment, so I won't chat with you any longer today."
Qu Jingyou reluctantly waved goodbye, saying, "Then, sister, see you next time. You said you wanted to have dinner together, can we set a time now?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at the man behind her and said, "After the New Year, I've been quite busy lately."
Qu Jingyou left with a look of regret on her face.
Before leaving, the man gave Lin Xiyin a meaningful look.
Lin Xiyin quickly looked away and turned to leave.
She strolled around the park for half an hour when she received a call from Xiao Ruoyi, inviting her to dinner that evening.
"It's a newly opened health and wellness center, let me take you there for a boost!"
Lin Xiyin agreed, checked the time, and since it was still early, she wasn't in a hurry. She strolled around for another twenty minutes before driving over.
As a result, there was a car accident on the way, causing a traffic jam. By the time she arrived at her destination, she was already more than ten minutes late.
She parked her car and had just entered the restaurant when she immediately spotted the man next to Qu Jingyou.
He is tall and handsome, and upon closer inspection, his facial features bear a resemblance to Qu Jingyou.
Lin Xiyin guessed that this person should be Qu Jingyou's older brother.
Qu Chongyou also saw Lin Xiyin. The next second, his eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he strode towards Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin hadn't thought he was coming to see her until he stood in front of her, at which point she realized that this man had come to talk to her.
Out of respect for him being Qu Jingyou's brother, Lin Xiyin, despite her less-than-ideal first impression, still gave him a polite smile: "Hello."
"Hello." Qu Chongyou said expressionlessly, his voice tinged with coldness, "Miss, I don't care what your purpose is in approaching me or my sister, but I'm warning you, keep your ulterior motives to yourself, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lin Xiyin paused for a few seconds before asking him, "Do you think I deliberately approached you?"
“Otherwise what? First the park, then the restaurant,” Qu Chongyou said. “If you hadn’t known our itinerary beforehand, would you have come to these places? Don’t tell me it was a coincidence, I don’t believe it.”
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, right? I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will stay far away from you in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, a door to a private room opened, and Xiao Ruoyi, standing in the doorway, waved to her, saying, "Come in quickly!"
Lin Xiyin didn't look at Qu Chongyou again and went straight into the private room.
Qu Chongyou frowned as he watched her retreating figure, wondering if she had accomplices.
Upon entering the private room, Lin Xiyin gave a self-deprecating laugh and drank a glass of water first.
Xiao Ruoyi sat opposite her and asked, "Who was that person just now? Do you know him?"
Lin Xiyin shook her head: "I don't know it, I was just asking for directions."
Xiao Ruoyi never mentioned it again.
Xiao Ruoyi invited her to dinner because she wanted to pour out her troubles to her.
"I'm not that old, am I? They keep pressuring me to go on blind dates, I'm really fed up."
"Your aunt and uncle are doing this for your own good," Lin Xiyin said. "What's wrong with seeing them? It won't hurt you."
"It's so annoying, you know? Especially some men, so ordinary yet so confident, they make me feel nauseous and ruin my mood!"
Thinking about what the man had just said, Lin Xiyin nodded: "Exactly."
Xiao Ruoyi then said, "Isn't it good for me to be alone? I don't lack money or love, so why do I have to get married and go through the trouble of figuring out what another family is thinking, just to make myself suffer?"
"that is."
Xiao Ruoyi added, "When I'm craving a man, there are plenty of high-quality men at some clubs. They have abs and good looks. I can enjoy myself by spending a little money, and I won't compromise myself."
“Well…” Lin Xiyin sighed, “That won’t do, I’m afraid you’ll get sick.”
Xiao Ruoyi glanced at the bones she had spat out on the plate next to her and raised her chin: "Didn't you eat lunch?"
"I've eaten, I'm hungry now," Lin Xiyin said. "This restaurant has pretty good food."
It whetted her appetite.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "It's opened by a friend of a friend, so I brought you here to support it."
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Xiyin leaned back in her chair and said, "I'm pregnant."
"Right, it tastes good..." Xiao Ruoyi's eyes widened suddenly, looking at her in disbelief: "Was I... just hallucinating?"
"What?" Lin Xiyin looked at her with a smile: "What did you hear?"
Xiao Ruoyi couldn't believe her ears: "I think I heard you say that you're pregnant..."
"yes."
Xiao Ruoyi was stunned, then jumped up abruptly the next second: "Really?"
"Why are you so excited?" Lin Xiyin looked at her with a smile: "I didn't want to tell you."
"Lin Xiyin, you're pregnant!" Xiao Ruoyi sat down next to her, but didn't dare get too close: "Whose? Tell me, whose child is it?"
Lin Xiyin said, "It's Pei Muye's."
"You two...aren't you going to get a divorce?" Xiao Ruoyi continued, "Don't you want this child?"
“I don’t plan to have an abortion, but I don’t want to raise this child with Pei Muyi.”
Xiao Ruoyi became serious: "What do you mean? No matter what your relationship with Pei Muyi is like, your child will have the surname Pei. Families like theirs value their children very much. If they knew you were pregnant, they would never agree to let you take the child away."
"Yes, that's why I didn't plan to tell Pei Muye."
"this……"
Lin Xiyin looked at her: "Yiyi, Pei Muye doesn't like me. After I divorce him, do you think he and his wife will treat my child well if he remarries?"
"No, I'd probably become a thorn in their side."
"So I had no choice but to keep it from him."
"But raising a child alone will be very hard. Putting aside the financial aspects, do you think raising a child is so simple?"
"I know, but I'm not afraid."
Xiao Ruoyi stared at her: "Have you thought it through?"
"I've made up my mind."
“Then I support you!” Xiao Ruoyi said, “I must be the child’s godmother, and I will raise the child with you after it is born!”
Lin Xiyin was amused by her: "Okay, let's raise them together."
"Hey, I'm serious. What's so great about men? Why don't we just be together? What do you say?"
Lin Xiyin pinched her cheek: "I'm afraid my uncle and aunt will chase me with a knife."
After the two finished their meal, Xiao Ruoyi watched her get into the car, repeatedly telling her to drive slowly, and finally said, "Never mind, get out, I'll take you home!"
Lin Xiyin said, "I'm not made of glass, don't be so nervous."
"Okay, then call me when you get home."
Lin Xiyin was in a good mood after returning home.
She originally intended to keep this a secret and didn't plan to tell anyone.
But after talking to Xiao Ruoyi, it seemed like the bitterness in my heart had found an outlet.
This further strengthened her resolve to raise the child alone.
Her phone rang, and she quickly answered it.
Pei Yaohai's voice rang out: "Xiaoyin, go home tomorrow. We have guests coming the day after tomorrow."
