Chapter 264 The Capital to Show Off
Lin Xiyin was a little embarrassed, after all, they were talking about her behind her back.
Although it didn't involve gossiping about people, it still wasn't very good.
Qu Jianhang said directly, "It would be unfair to you to say anything to others. If no one wants you, I can only take pity on you and do a good deed by taking you in."
Lin Xiyin quickly explained, "Uncle Yan, my mom means you're too busy, she never gets to see you."
Qu Jianhang said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have no intention of thinking about him."
In front of the younger generation, Yan Chengyu didn't know what to say. He chatted with Lin Xiyin for a few words and then they went back to their rooms.
He managed to save Qu Jianhang: "Don't you miss me?"
Qu Jianhang said, "We're an old married couple, isn't it a bit cheesy?"
“If you don’t want to,” Yan Chengyu said, “then I won’t rest this weekend. I was originally planning to take two days off…”
Qu Jianhang was stunned when he heard this: "What? Weekend off? Has the sun risen in the west?"
"Just tell me if you want to or not." Yan Chengyu sat her on the edge of the bed, holding her on his lap. "I was planning a road trip around the area, but now it seems..."
"You," Qu Jianhang hugged his neck, "I want to, I want to, I want to, is that alright? Can you really take two days off?"
"Okay, I'll spend this time with you properly." Yan Chengyu said, "We won't bring anyone else, just the two of us. I'll take you to see the mountains."
As long as I can be with him, it doesn't matter where we go.
Besides, what scenery in this world hasn't Qu Jianhang seen?
The two made an appointment and then told Lin Xiyin about it, asking her and Pei Muyi to make good arrangements for the weekend, and also to take Lin Youxing out for a walk.
Come to think of it, the three of them don't really have many opportunities to go out together as a family.
Early Saturday morning, Yan Chengyu set off with Qu Jianhang.
After asking Lin Youxing's opinion, he wanted to go to the amusement park.
I went there once before and dug in the sand for a long time.
At that time, Lin Xiyin had not yet forgiven Pei Muye. In the eyes of outsiders, they were a family of three, but in reality, Lin Xiyin didn't pay much attention to Pei Muye.
Pei Muyi even booked the entire venue that time.
But not this time. Sometimes when I take the kids out to play, it's quiet and deserted, and we don't enjoy it as much.
It has to be lively and bustling for the children to be happy.
Sure enough, compared to last time, Lin Youxing was visibly more excited this time.
The weather was still very hot. Most of the time, Pei Muye accompanied Lin Youxing to the project site, while Lin Xiyin waited for them under the shade of a tree.
As the two went to ride the flying motorcycle, Pei Muye's phone rang.
Lin Xiyin didn't want to answer the call, but when she saw that the caller ID was Yue Linze, she worried that something urgent had happened, so she answered anyway.
"Mr. Pei, would it be convenient for you to come to the company now?"
Lin Xiyin quickly said, "Assistant Yue, it's me. Pei Muye is playing with Youyou. Is there something you need? He might be here in two or three minutes."
Yue Linze continued without pausing, "Hello, Madam. Then please ask Mr. Pei to call me back when it's convenient for him."
"OK."
Yue Linze always called her "Madam" with a respectful title. Lin Xiyin had told him to stop several times, but he wouldn't change it. Lin Xiyin had no choice but to let him be.
The project only lasted a few minutes, and the father and son walked over chatting and laughing.
As he approached, Lin Xiyin handed him her phone: "Assistant Yue seems to have something important to discuss with you and wants you to return the call."
Pei Muye took the phone, first took a tissue and wiped Lin Youxing's sweat, then said, "Okay."
"I'll do it." Lin Xiyin pushed him: "You should call back quickly."
Pei Muye called Yue Linze back: "What's up?"
Lin Xiyin didn't listen to Pei Muye much, but he spent three to five minutes on the phone.
Lin Xiyin wiped Lin Youxing's sweat and gave him some water. When Lin Youxing needed to urinate, she took him to the restroom.
When they returned, Pei Muye was still on the phone.
Seeing them return, Pei Muyi said, "That's it."
He put his phone away, and Lin Xiyin asked him, "Is something wrong? If not, you can go do what you need to do."
"It's nothing serious." Pei Muye smiled. "There are people at the company, so don't worry."
"It's the weekend today, is Assistant Yue also working overtime?"
“He was supposed to be resting, but something came up and he went over.” Pei Muye said, “Don’t worry, he’ll get overtime pay.”
"A high-paid talent like Assistant Yue, earning an annual salary, probably wouldn't care about that little bit of overtime pay, right?"
Pei Muye pinched her cheek: "What, are you still worried about him?"
"No, it's just something I felt compelled to say as a fellow office worker."
“I’m not a heartless boss,” Pei Muye said. “Don’t worry, his income will definitely be commensurate with his efforts.”
Lin Xiyin asked him again, "Are you sure you don't need to go back?"
"No need, Yue Linze will handle it."
Hearing him say that, Lin Xiyin felt relieved.
Lin Youxing is too young and not tall enough, so he is not allowed to participate in some activities.
But basically, Pei Muye played everything that he could play with him.
Finally, as usual, I went to operate the excavator to dig sand.
Although we have similar toys at home, it's definitely not as lively as having a bunch of kids together.
Lin Youxing was having a great time.
Pei Muye, Lin Xiyin, and many other parents were waiting in the shade outside.
"It was only then that I realized that Youyou is only four years old," Lin Xiyin said. "Sometimes when I watch him practice calligraphy at home, he acts like a little adult."
Lin Youxing's life is now basically regular, and he no longer acts like before, taking advantage of Qu Jianhang's doting affection.
Mainly because Qu Jianhang and Pei Muye were very cooperative with her.
They have different educational philosophies than her, but they all respect her approach.
Pei Muye said, "But he's still a child, so sometimes you can't push him too hard. A child's nature is to play. Look how happy he is today."
“I didn’t force him,” Lin Xiyin said. “He should play when he’s supposed to play, and he shouldn’t be lazy when he’s supposed to study. Boys need to have a certain amount of perseverance and willpower.”
I agree with that.
Pei Muye had barely finished speaking when his phone rang.
The surroundings were a bit messy, with parents chatting as they waited.
Pei Muye said, "I'll go answer a phone call."
"Go."
When Pei Muyi returned after finishing his phone call, he saw from afar a man talking to Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin never expected that someone would come up to chat with her while she was waiting for her child.
The man was the child's uncle, and he brought the child over to play today as well.
Seeing that Lin Xiyin was alone, he came up to her and started a conversation.
Pei Muye strode over.
Lin Xiyin was already annoyed, and since this person was using the child as an excuse to talk to her, she didn't know what to say.
Lin Youxing is still inside, so she can't leave.
Just then, she saw Pei Muyi coming over and quickly reached out her hand: "Husband!"
Pei Muye took her hand: "Are you hot?"
Upon seeing this, the man immediately lost all interest in anything else.
He approached her to chat because he thought Lin Xiyin was pretty and had a good temperament.
He brought his nephew along for a visit. What if Lin Xiyin also came with a relative's child?
After all, she looks so young, she doesn't look like a mother at all.
Before they could exchange more than a few words, her husband arrived.
He was tall, handsome, and had a noble air about him, instantly putting him a world apart.
He walked away sheepishly.
Pei Muye's cold gaze finally shifted away from him.
"It's alright." Lin Xiyin asked him, "Is something wrong at the company? Why are you calling so often?"
Pei Muye didn't answer, but instead asked her, "What did he say to you?"
“I didn’t say anything,” Lin Xiyin said. “We had only exchanged a few words when you arrived.”
"What, haven't you said enough yet?"
Lin Xiyin rolled her eyes at him: "It's not like I told them on my own initiative."
"Don't pay attention to this kind of person," Pei Muye said. "He tries to chat you up as soon as you meet him. What kind of good person can he be?"
"I understand," Lin Xiyin said softly, "Don't let anyone hear."
"What's wrong with what I heard? Did I say something wrong?"
Lin Xiyin pulled him to the side.
Pei Muyi felt a pang of jealousy: "If I don't keep an eye on you for a moment, someone will be eyeing you. I wish you could shrink down and put you in my pocket."
Lin Xiyin hugged his arm: "From now on, I'll be your human accessory. Wherever you go, I'll follow you."
Pei Muye was satisfied: "Good!"
After Lin Youxing had had enough fun, the family went to the restaurant they had booked in advance for dinner.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Huo Xianyang and Xiao Ruoyi.
Lin Xiyin hadn't visited the child in the past two days, so she was pleasantly surprised to see her: "You're here for dinner too? Where's the child?"
"He's too young to bring out. He can stay at home; there are so many people there anyway." Xiao Ruoyi came over and took her arm. "Oh, what a coincidence! Let's eat together!"
The two families sat in a private room.
Because she didn't need to breastfeed, Xiao Ruoyi lived an extremely comfortable life after her postpartum period.
She doesn't need to get up early, stay up late, or stay up all night; everything is taken care of by other family members.
She's so bored at home she's practically growing mold.
He wanted to go to work, but Huo Xianyang wouldn't let him.
She said that although she had finished her postpartum confinement, her body still needed a period of recovery.
Xiao Ruoyi is actually not very satisfied with her figure.
Although she received professional guidance during her postpartum period, forty-odd days was still too short to allow her to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.
So lately, she's been busy with this.
When Lin Xiyin saw her, she found that her figure was no different from before, and even better than before.
The two women huddled together, whispering about these topics, not wanting the men to hear.
Pei Muye and Huo Xianyang looked at the two of them and smiled at each other.
The little guy ate his fill and then fell asleep. Pei Muye held him, which didn't interfere with his own meal.
Seeing that Huo Xianyang's gaze was fixed on him, he said, "Don't be envious. Soon you'll be able to bring your son out for a meal too."
The two women were still talking with their heads down, completely unaware of what was happening here.
Huo Xianyang lowered his voice and said, "Why would I envy you? The only thing I envy about you is your laptop."
Pei Muye asked, "Is it a marriage certificate?"
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Pei Muye smiled and said, "You're talking about Ben? How would I know anything about Ben?"
“I think you’re just showing off on purpose,” Huo Xianyang said. “But you do have the right to show off. After all, this is the only thing you have that I don’t.”
"From what you're saying," Pei Muyi said, "you haven't given up yet?"
