Chapter 50 Who can't pretend?
Ming Qingwan accidentally knocked over an antique-style vase, which was taller than a person, by the entrance.
It was smashed to pieces.
The commotion really startled Lin Xiyin.
She was so scared that her heart was pounding.
She doesn't care what kind of injury she suffers; what she fears is something happening to the baby in her womb.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Ming Qingwan's voice rang out: "Are you alright?"
Lin Xiyin then came to her senses, shaking her head with a pale face: "It's nothing."
Ming Qingwan's gaze left her lower abdomen, and she said nothing more.
Lin Xiyin carefully avoided the shards of porcelain on the ground, then quickly went upstairs.
Once she got upstairs and it was quiet, she realized something was wrong.
That vase was so big; how careless and strong must Ming Qingwan have been to knock it over?
To say that Ming Qingwan pushed the vase over with the intention of hitting Lin Xiyin doesn't seem quite right.
The vase was too conspicuous; if there was any movement, Lin Xiyin would notice.
Ming Qingwan wouldn't be that stupid.
Was it really knocked over accidentally?
Thankfully, she's alright.
Lin Xiyin couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
She took her phone out of her bag and realized that Pei Muyi had sent her a lot of messages.
I asked her several times if she was done with her work and if she wanted me to pick her up.
She ate lunch and then took a nap. When she woke up, she talked to Xiao Ruoyi and didn't check her phone.
She replied to him: I'm already home.
After she replied, she was about to put down her phone when she saw the words "The other party is typing" appear at the top of the chat box.
She stared at it for a few seconds, but Pei Muye still didn't reply.
Then, the words disappeared, and Lin Xiyin waited a while longer before they reappeared.
This went on and on, and the words "The other party is typing" appeared several times.
Lin Xiyin wondered, just how many words was Pei Muye planning to type?
Does he have a lot to say?
As a result, her phone vibrated, and when she looked at it, it was Pei Muye replying.
Just three words.
knew.
So, after typing for so long, he only managed to type three words?
Lin Xiyin was still completely baffled, so she put down her phone and picked up the documents to look at.
About half an hour later, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Lin Xiyin looked up.
Pei Muyi had already taken off his coat and was now dressed in a formal suit, looking dignified and serious, with no smiles on his face.
Lin Xiyin greeted him, "You're back."
Pei Muye hummed in agreement and then began to take off his clothes.
Lin Xiyin lowered her head and read her book uncomfortably.
This man is incredibly shameless. Even though they're about to get a divorce, he can still strip naked in front of her without the slightest bit of shame.
There was a light knock on the door twice, and then it was pushed open.
Pei Muyi quickly put the shirt he had taken off back on.
Ming Qingwan appeared at the bedroom door and greeted them with a smile, "Brother Muye, Sister Xiyin."
Pei Muye looked at her: "Is something the matter?"
Lin Xiyin just saw how fast Pei Muye put on his shirt.
She thought to herself, "What are you pretending for? Is there any part of you that she hasn't seen before?"
Not only have you seen it, but you've also touched it and kissed it, right?
She gave a sarcastic smile, looked at Ming Qingwan, and asked, "Is there something you need, Qingwan?"
Anyone can pretend.
Ming Qingwan said, "It's nothing, just asking what Sister Xiyin wants to eat tonight, and I'll have the kitchen make it. I don't want Sister Xiyin to say she doesn't like it after we make it."
Pei Muyi went to see Lin Xiyin: "What do you want to eat? Just tell her."
Lin Xiyin didn't hold back and said, "Make sweet and sour pork ribs, and add more vinegar."
Ming Qingwan smiled and replied, "Okay. What would you like to eat, Brother Muye?"
Pei Muye said, "That's fine. From now on, Auntie can handle these things; you don't need to make a separate trip."
Lin Xiyin lowered her eyes.
What, are you feeling sorry for her?
Ming Qingwan smiled and said, "It's not tiring, and I'm just sitting here anyway. Okay, I'll go tell the kitchen."
Ming Qingwan left quickly, but the fragrance she left behind lingered at Lin Xiyin's nose.
I have no idea how much perfume she used.
Pei Muye started taking off his clothes again, then changed into his pajamas and sat down next to Lin Xiyin.
He asked, "Why don't you go to the study?"
Lin Xiyin didn't even look up: "It's inconvenient."
After all, this is Pei Muye's office.
She still remembered when they had just gotten married, at Yunhai House, she went to the study to call him for dinner, and when she opened the door, she saw that Pei Muye had covered the things in his hands with documents.
She didn't see what it was.
But clearly, there were some things in the study that she couldn't see.
From then on, she never went to Pei Muye's study again.
“Is there anything inconvenient?” Pei Muye said, then suddenly reached out and hugged her.
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
Pei Muye buried his face in her neck.
Lin Xiyin put down her book and reached out to push him: "What are you doing?"
"Don't move," Pei Muyi said in a low voice, "Let me hold you for a while."
Lin Xiyin didn't want him to hug her. Ever since she learned that he and Ming Qingwan had been intimate, she had been particularly averse to Pei Muye's advances.
"Get off me!" She pushed him forcefully. "Pei Muye! You're pressing down on me!"
Pei Muye nuzzled against her neck before getting up.
Lin Xiyin stood up, took her book, and sat down by the window.
Pei Muye was silent for a few seconds, then followed her to the window and asked, "Do you have any plans after the New Year?"
Lin Xiyin still didn't look up: "Is there something you need?"
"After the New Year... I have a few days off. Would you like to travel abroad for a few days?"
Lin Xiyin looked up at him, her eyes filled with surprise: "Are you asking me?"
Pei Muye looked down at her: "If I don't ask you, then who should I ask?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "You actually want to go abroad with me? Why?"
Pei Muye frowned: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
Lin Xiyin reached out and touched the corner of her lips.
That kind of smile is ugly, isn't it?
She lowered her head: "I'm busy."
How's your PhD application coming along?
Unexpectedly, Pei Muyi changed the subject so quickly.
Lin Xiyin said, "I passed both the written and oral exams, and school will start in March."
"School doesn't start until March, so you should be free after the New Year."
"When I said I was busy, it was just an excuse." Lin Xiyin looked up at him again: "Do you really want me to say that I don't want to go abroad with you?"
Pei Muye pursed his thin lips, looked at Lin Xiyin for a few seconds, and then turned and left.
Lin Xiyin thought she had finally won a round in her confrontation with Pei Muye.
But for some reason, there was no joy of victory.
I couldn't even continue reading the book in my hand.
When Lin Xiyin came downstairs, dinner was already prepared.
Perhaps the only advantage of living in the Pei family's old house is that she doesn't have to worry about what to eat for three meals a day.
Sure enough, there were sweet and sour pork ribs on the table.
Lin Xiyin ate a piece, and it tasted pretty good.
Ming Qingwan spoke up: "Sister Xiyin, you said to put more vinegar in the ribs, but they taste quite sour to me. What do you think?"
Lin Xiyin said, "It's alright."
"You can eat sour food so well?" Ming Qingwan said. "I can't, I can't eat any sour food at all."
Zhou Yusu glanced at Lin Xiyin, then looked at Pei Yaohai: "Shouldn't Mu Ye and the others have a child too?"
Pei Yaohai said, "I told him, and he said he didn't want it for the next two years."
Zhou Yusu said, "These past two years have been the best years; it's better to have children sooner rather than later..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Muye said coldly, "If you want a child, let Yun Qing give birth to it."
As soon as he said that, Ming Qingwan put down her rice bowl and called out in a soft voice, "Brother Muye!"
Lin Xiyin was a little puzzled. Was Pei Muye saying this on purpose, or did he mean it?
He likes Ming Qingwan, and after divorcing him, he will most likely be with Ming Qingwan.
Anyway, Pei Yunqing wasn't his brother born to the same mother.
Their relationship was just so-so.
Pei Muye probably doesn't feel any guilt about stealing Pei Yunqing's fiancée.
Saying that Pei Yunqing should have a child was probably just something said in anger.
Lin Xiyin kept her eyes down and her mind focused, not saying a word, quietly eating her meal.
"Brother Muye, why don't you want children? What if Sister Xiyin gets pregnant unexpectedly?"
Ming Qingwan's words immediately made Lin Xiyin raise her head and subconsciously look at Pei Muye.
If someone else had continued this topic, Pei Muyi would probably have gotten angry.
But it was Ming Qingwan who asked this question.
As expected, Pei Muye showed no anger on his face.
He said, "Having children is too mentally taxing, and I didn't plan to have any in the last two years. This pregnancy was unexpected..."
He glanced at Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes.
Pei Muye continued, "That's impossible."
Nothing in this world is ever truly certain.
Ming Qingwan gave Lin Xiyin a meaningful look.
They seemed somewhat surprised not to see Lin Xiyin in pain.
Lin Xiyin has become impenetrable, impervious to swords and blades.
She never expected that she could cultivate to this level.
Pei Muye clearly doesn't want children.
No, that's perfect, she'll have to raise it all by herself.
Ideally, Pei Muyi would not cause any more trouble after the New Year, and the two could divorce smoothly.
Otherwise, she would have no choice but to use the divorce agreement she had tricked him into giving her to complete the formalities.
The reason for bringing this up again after the Lunar New Year was actually to avoid embarrassing Pei Yaohai too much.
This was the only person in the Pei family who showed her kindness, and he was an elder at that.
Lin Xiyin didn't want to upset him during the New Year.
The Pei family also has guests coming today, and they're going out for lunch.
As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family, Lin Xiyin naturally could not be absent.
The guests stayed at our house for an hour, and then everyone went to a restaurant together.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we found out that we were going to have a whole snake feast today.
Lin Xiyin started to feel physically uncomfortable as soon as she saw those pictures at the restaurant entrance.
It's said that a relative who came today is quite old and likes to eat this.
Pei Yaohai called him his cousin, so naturally he had to cater to his dietary preferences.
Lin Xiyin tried to hold back, but couldn't. She had just sat down when she stood up and hurriedly said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."
She vomited when she got to the restroom.
She didn't vomit anything, but just dry heaved a few times, which still made her feel very uncomfortable.
She had just stood up when a tissue was handed to her.
She saw Ming Qingwan's face in the mirror.
She took it and thanked him.
Ming Qingwan looked at her; "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
As Lin Xiyin walked out, she said, "I don't eat snake meat."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. This old man just likes this kind of thing today. You'll have to bear with it; after all, he's an elder."
Lin Xiyin really had no choice.
"Lin Xiyin".
As she approached the door of the private room, Ming Qingwan called out to her.
Lin Xiyin turned to look at her: "Is there anything else?"
Ming Qingwan said, "Are you really planning to live like this?"
