Chapter 46 How Can I Believe?
Pei Muye remained silent.
Lu Zuofan remained as nonchalant as ever: "I didn't want to tell you, but after thinking about it, I still feel that you have the right to know."
Pei Muye said, "It's just a pretense."
Lu Zuofan was displeased: "Pei Muye, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"explain."
Seeing that he was getting impatient, Lu Zuofan finally spoke up: "I ran into Lin Xiyin a few days ago."
Pei Muye did not react.
Lu Zuofan added, "She was eating with other people."
Pei Muye remained expressionless.
"Aren't you curious about who she had dinner with?"
"What, her ex-boyfriend?"
“Even more explosive than her ex-boyfriend,” Lu Zuofan said. “It’s Huo Xianyang…and Chi Tianlin.”
Pei Muye was silent for a few seconds, then said, "It's kind of you to have kept quiet for so many days."
"I was just worried about making you feel bad," Lu Zuofan said. "Tell me, does Lin Xiyin know that you and Chi Tianlin don't get along?"
Before Pei Muye could speak, he added, "Everyone in the world knows, I don't believe she doesn't."
Pei Muye raised his hand to turn off the treadmill, then turned and left.
Lu Zuofan followed him: "Hey, give us your opinion! Your woman is having dinner with your mortal enemy, don't you have anything to say?"
Pei Muye took a bottle of water from the cabinet, opened it, and drank most of it.
Her sexy Adam's apple bobbed back and forth, and her whole body exuded a strong aura of hormones.
Lu Zuofan clicked his tongue twice beside him: "Do you know why I'm more popular with girls than you?"
Pei Muye tossed the bottle aside and said, "It's probably because you're always in heat."
"How can you talk like that!" Lu Zuofan glared at him. "Of course it's because I'm gentle and considerate."
Pei Muye strode away without looking back.
Lu Zuofan shook his head: "With your icy face, what woman would like you?"
When Pei Muyi returned to the Pei family home from Lu Zuofan's place and went upstairs, he found that Lin Xiyin was asleep.
She actually ate her fill and then went to sleep.
It's only a little past eight o'clock.
Pei Muye stood by the bed looking at her, then suddenly reached out and touched her forehead.
It's warm, that's normal.
Having just run and worked up a sweat, Pei Muyi quietly took a shower, and after coming out, he lay down quietly next to Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin didn't wake up all night, so naturally she didn't know there was someone lying next to her.
She specifically set an alarm, otherwise it wouldn't be appropriate to get up too late.
When she heard the alarm clock ring, she opened her eyes and found herself alone in bed.
It seems Pei Muyi really didn't come back last night.
Lin Xiyin was very satisfied.
She went downstairs for breakfast and then talked to Pei Yaohai about the guests who were coming today.
Pei Yaohai said he was a distant relative and would stay for lunch, asking Lin Xiyin to keep him company.
Around 10 o'clock, a couple did arrive. They were in their fifties and were said to be the nephew and niece-in-law of the old man's cousin.
The relationship is quite distant.
Lin Xiyin chatted with the guests for a while, then had lunch together. After the guests left, she went upstairs to sleep.
Downstairs, Zhou Yusu and Ming Qingwan were eating fruit.
"What's she doing upstairs?" Zhou Yusu couldn't stand the sight of Lin Xiyin: "Sleeping?"
Ming Qingwan, however, looked thoughtful.
Zhou Yusu called her again: "Qingwan?"
Ming Qingwan then came to her senses: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Hey Lin Xiyin, have you noticed that her temper has gotten worse since she came back this time?"
Ming Qingwan discovered it.
In the past, Lin Xiyin was submissive and humble in front of Pei Muye.
But this time when she came back, it seemed like she didn't take Pei Muye seriously at all.
They didn't care about anyone else.
"And look at how pathetic she is when she eats!" Zhou Yusu said. "She's been married into the Pei family for several years, but she's still so petty!"
"Mom, I'm going upstairs to check on her."
Zhou Yusu said, "Why are you looking at her? Look at how she treats you, and you still tolerate her!"
"fine."
"You're just too soft-hearted."
Ming Qingwan went upstairs, didn't knock, and pushed open the bedroom door directly.
The curtains in the bedroom were drawn, and you could barely see a person lying on the bed.
Ming Qingwan spoke softly, "Lin Xiyin?"
Soon, she closed the door again and went downstairs.
Lin Xiyin slept soundly. After waking up, she sat on the bed in a daze for a while before going downstairs.
She planned to go for a walk in the yard and stretch her legs.
As soon as she came downstairs, Ming Qingwan said to her, "Sister Xiyin, some crabs have been delivered from my house. How would you like to eat them? I'll ask the kitchen to make them."
Crab?
Is it not good for pregnant women to eat crabs?
Lin Xiyin said directly, "I don't want to eat it, thank you."
“I remember you used to love eating crabs.” Ming Qingwan came over and tried to take her arm. “Don’t be so polite with me.”
Lin Xiyin dodged her hand directly: "There's no one here, you don't need to act anymore."
After saying that, he went straight to the courtyard without looking at Ming Qingwan's reaction.
Once she gets through these few days and the New Year is over, she will truly have nothing to do with the Pei family anymore.
Lin Xiyin went to the back of the courtyard, where there was a pebbly path. Since she had nothing else to do, she strolled around there.
"Lin Xiyin?"
She heard someone call her name and looked up.
The villa is surrounded by walls, but the brick walls are only one meter high, while the rest are made of steel bars, one after another, with a gap of about ten centimeters between each bar.
Therefore, there is almost no privacy inside or outside the wall.
She saw Chi Tianlin.
She had run into Chi Tianlin a few times when she lived here before.
It is evident that he lived not far from the Pei family's residence.
Lin Xiyin didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. She just nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Chi Tianlin stood outside the wall and slowly said, "It's been several days since I last saw you. Ruan Ruan is so heartless. You left as soon as you saw me."
Lin Xiyin, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and said, "President Chi, I'm saying this for the last time, we're not familiar with each other, so don't call me by my name randomly."
“We’ve already eaten together, so we’re friends, right?” Chi Tianlin smiled at her. “I’ve been waiting for you at our usual spot for days, why didn’t you come?”
"What old place?"
"What about Huo Xianyang?" Chi Tianlin said, "You haven't been looking for him lately. Has everything been taken care of? Aren't you getting a divorce? Why aren't you..."
"Chi Tianlin!"
Lin Xiyin quickened her pace, reached the wall, and glared at him angrily: "What are you talking about! How did you know I was getting a divorce? Did Huo Xianyang tell you?"
Chi Tianlin raised an eyebrow: "You really want a divorce? I knew you were looking for Huo Xianyang, and I was right!"
Lin Xiyin was still questioning Huo Xianyang's professional level, but when she heard Chi Tianlin say this, she was speechless and angry.
Chi Tianlin added, "Ruanruan, this is called realizing your mistake and mending the fence after the sheep are lost. It's not too late. You were blind to marry that bastard Pei Muyi!"
Lin Xiyin quickly calmed herself down and looked coldly at Chi Tianlin: "President Chi, do you know the saying 'to speak too intimately with someone you don't know well'? Do you know that what you're saying right now is very offensive to me?"
“You were just calling her by her name, and now you’re calling her President Chi.” Chi Tianlin sighed, “Ruan Ruan, don’t be so heartless.”
Lin Xiyin really didn't want to have any interaction with him, and she subconsciously rejected Chi Tianlin's approach.
She's not stupid. Chi Tianlin and Pei Muye are mortal enemies. Chi Tianlin's approach to her must have impure motives.
Lin Xiyin stopped talking, turned around and left.
Chi Tianlin called to her from outside: "Ruan Ruan, when are you coming over? I'll be waiting for you at our usual spot for tea!"
Lin Xiyin was so angry that she took a few quick steps, and when she looked up, she saw Pei Muye.
Lin Xiyin subconsciously turned to look at Chi Tianlin.
That scoundrel was wearing a snow-white down jacket today, and his features were exceptionally refined. Standing there, he looked like a dashing young nobleman.
Seeing Lin Xiyin turn around to look at him, he acted as if he didn't even see Pei Muye's presence, and even waved to Lin Xiyin: "Ruan Ruan, see you later!"
This is just stirring up trouble!
Lin Xiyin didn't say anything, turned around, ignored Pei Muye, and walked inside on her own.
She shouldn't have gone for a walk!
Why can't you just stay in your bedroom?
If all else fails, doing yoga in your room is fine too.
Running into Chi Tianlin was bad enough, but then Pei Muye had to see her too!
Lin Xiyin entered the house and went straight upstairs to the second floor.
She knew Pei Muye was following behind her, and she also knew that Pei Muye definitely had something to say.
So once inside the room, she spoke first: "I'm not familiar with him, and we've only met a few times. I don't know why he's acting like we're so close. You two don't get along, and I think... he might be doing this on purpose."
Pei Muye looked at her, took off his coat, and then bent down to unbutton his cuffs.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Xiyin thought that she had already made things clear, so she didn't intend to say anything more.
It wasn't dinner time yet, and Lin Xiyin didn't want to be alone in a room with Pei Muyi, so she turned around and was about to leave.
As a result, Pei Muye grabbed her wrist: "Stay away from Chi Tianlin."
"You don't need to tell me," Lin Xiyin said. "I know."
"You knew that, yet you still went to dinner with him?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback, then became somewhat annoyed: "How did you know I went to dinner with him? Did you have someone follow me?"
“I’m not that bored,” Pei Muye said. “I don’t care what your mindset is when you approach Chi Tianlin. I’m just telling you, he’s not a normal person. With your IQ, you’ll be fooled by him and might even end up helping him count his money.”
Lin Xiyin immediately became furious: "What IQ do you think I have? Are you underestimating me? I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and I don't need your sarcastic remarks!"
“If you really had the ability to discern, you wouldn’t have come into contact with him.”
Lin Xiyin realized that Pei Muye didn't believe her at all.
He didn't believe that his attitude towards Chi Tianlin was one of avoidance, nor did he believe that every time they met, it was Chi Tianlin who took the initiative to approach him.
"It's common knowledge that he and I don't get along," Pei Muye said coldly. "You should also know what kind of person he is. Under such circumstances, how can I trust your judgment to still go out to eat with him?"
Lin Xiyin didn't want to explain anything anymore.
Pei Muyi never trusted her. So no matter what she said, it was useless.
She just smiled and said, "So what? After the divorce, whoever I want to associate with is none of Mr. Pei's business."
Pei Muye looked at her with a deep gaze.
Lin Xiyin added, "My affairs are no longer your concern."
During dinner, Ming Qingwan placed a large hairy crab directly into Lin Xiyin's bowl: "Sister Xiyin, eat up!"
Lin Xiyin didn't even look up, and took the crab out again.
Before he could speak, Pei Muye put the crab into his own bowl.
Ming Qingwan went to look at Pei Muye: "Brother Muye, is Sister Xiyin angry with me?"
Pei Muye said calmly, "She's not feeling well."
Pei Yaohai asked, "What happened to Xiyin?"
