Chapter 227 Masochist
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Ruan Ruan, I don't need your special treatment. I'm not weak just because I'm pregnant. If I'm unhappy about something, I'll vent it myself. I'll settle scores on the spot. So, don't feel sorry for me."
"Others may not know, but I know you well," Lin Xiyin said. "The closer you are to someone, the less you're willing to say anything."
“I wouldn’t do that to Huo Xianyang. I’ve already scolded him.”
"Good for you to scold me. If you still can't get over it, then beat me up. Anyway, men are tough and can take it."
Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'm really fine, you don't need to worry so much."
“But we can’t let Huo Xianyang stand outside all the time,” Lin Xiyin said. “Do you expect him to stand there all night? He’ll definitely be worried about you standing alone.”
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Ruan Ruan, do you know that feelings are the most luxurious thing? No matter how expensive the luxury item is, it always has a price, but feelings don't."
"I know."
"So, you should cherish your time with Pei Muye."
"You two are the same, breaking up and getting back together so many times, but you're still together now, which means you're destined for each other. Besides, you have a child now..."
“So what if you have a child?” Xiao Ruoyi said, “Are you that old-fashioned?”
"After all, it's better for the child to live with his or her parents, and besides, there's nothing wrong between you two."
Do you also think I'm being unreasonable?
"I really didn't!" Lin Xiyin quickly explained, "Even Pei Muyi thinks that this time it's Huo Xianyang's fault."
"It means that it was all my fault before." Xiao Ruoyi sighed softly, "That's why I want to break up with him and let him find a sensible woman to end things once and for all."
"You..." Lin Xiyin said, "You're already this jealous over just one past event. If he really finds another woman, wouldn't you be furious?"
“If he really finds another woman, I won’t be angry. Because a man like that isn’t worth my anger,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I’m very easygoing.”
"So, it's okay to be angry, it's okay to throw a tantrum, but you can't break up, because Attorney Huo isn't that kind of man."
"You're getting better and better at talking; I can't out-argue you anymore. Is it because you're a teacher that you're so eloquent?"
"If you can't argue with me, that means I'm right, and you have to listen to me."
Xiao Ruoyi leaned back on the sofa: "Tired."
"To be fair, Attorney Huo has no flaws, but no one is perfect. His flaws make him more real."
"You should speak up for him."
"Then tell me the truth, don't you feel sorry for him standing outside like that?"
Xiao Ruoyi remained silent.
At this moment, Pei Muye and Huo Xianyang went downstairs.
Pei Muye asked him, "Want a cigarette?"
Huo Xianyang said, "I wanted to smoke, but I'll pass."
Pei Muyi also quit smoking. After all, he could see his child every day, and he couldn't bear to let his wife and child be exposed to secondhand smoke.
“Don’t think women are petty,” Pei Muye said. “She’s angry because she cares about you.”
“I know,” Huo Xianyang said. “Over the years, I’ve understood this principle, which is why I haven’t dared to leave her.”
"You dare not?"
"No, I wouldn't dare," Huo Xianyang said. "I'm afraid that without her, my life would have no meaning."
Pei Muye smiled and said, "Whatever she says or does, whatever grievances you have, you can only suffer in silence."
"What's a little grievance to a real man?"
He glanced at Pei Muye and smiled, "I never thought that we would have a day like this, where we can stand together and have a heart-to-heart talk."
Pei Muye and Chi Tianlin didn't get along, so he and Huo Xianyang basically had no interaction.
Pei Muye said, "What's the big deal? Chi Tianlin and I can get along peacefully."
Huo Xianyang said, "That's true, who would have thought?"
Pei Muye said, "Since you can't let it go, then try to coax it a little more. In any case, you were definitely wrong in this matter."
“I know,” Huo Xianyang said. “Sometimes I feel wronged, which is why there are moments when I wonder if I can accept others.”
“That’s why Xiao Ruoyi got angry,” Pei Muye said. “Even if it was only for a moment, you did think about giving up on her.”
"It was my fault," Huo Xianyang said. "I will apologize properly."
“I will also ask Yinyin to persuade her more.”
"Thanks," Huo Xianyang said. "I haven't congratulated you two on your marriage yet."
"Let's save that for the wedding."
"Keep it up," Huo Xianyang said. "I'll try my best to attend your wedding before Yiyi gives birth."
Pei Muye said, "That might not be enough time. From what Yinyin said, Aunt Qu might hold her wedding first. And I'm thinking of holding it in September, on that little island I bought for Yinyin. The scenery is most beautiful in September."
"September is fine too, by which time Yiyi will have already given birth."
As the two were chatting, Pei Muye's phone rang.
"It's Yinyin calling, I'll answer it first."
Pei Muye answered the phone: "Yes, we're downstairs. Are you done talking? Okay, we'll come up."
"Let's go." Huo Xianyang also heard this: "It's getting late, you should go back first."
"And you, are you going to keep standing outside the door?"
Huo Xianyang smiled and said, "Standing is fine, it's no big deal."
When they got upstairs, Lin Xiyin was coming out of the entrance hall.
"Yiyi, don't stand here, it's windy."
After Lin Xiyin finished speaking, she saw Huo Xianyang again.
She said, "Attorney Huo, I'm leaving Yiyi in your care. It's windy outside, so please don't catch a cold. It's okay if you catch a cold, but it would be bad if you passed it on to Yiyi."
After saying that, she gestured for Huo Xianyang to go inside quickly.
Huo Xianyang glanced at Xiao Ruoyi.
Xiao Ruoyi didn't speak, but she also didn't make any move to stop it.
He strode into the entrance hall.
Lin Xiyin waved to Xiao Ruoyi: "Then we'll go now! I'll come see you another day."
Lin Xiyin felt that no matter how much she said, it would be better to let Huo Xianyang and Xiao Ruoyi, the two parties involved, sit down and talk.
Xiao Ruoyi also promised her that she would no longer lock Huo Xianyang out.
She and Pei Muyi went downstairs. She said, "I told you not to come, but you insisted. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow..."
"It's nothing," Pei Muye said. "Go sleep on the plane. But you, aren't you tired?"
When she received Chi Tianlin's call, the two had just finished a sexual encounter.
Lin Xiyin was indeed tired; her hands and feet were sore and weak, and she felt powerless all over.
But Xiao Ruoyi has something to do, so she will definitely come.
"I'm fine," she said. "Let's go back and rest some more."
"Okay, I won't touch you when we get back," Pei Muye said with a smile. "I'll let you sleep well."
Lin Xiyin glared at him: "You still have the mind to think about these things now?"
That's what she said, but when they got home and lay in bed, Pei Muye hugged her and couldn't control his body.
"You said you wouldn't touch it..."
“I can’t help it,” he said. “Yinyin, I’m leaving tomorrow and won’t be back for several days.”
Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "How did you manage to hold back before? You didn't even kiss me for those few days."
"Back then, I was only concerned about making you unhappy; I couldn't think of anything else."
"Are you abandoning me now?"
"Because I know you're happy too." Pei Muyue kissed her. "Right?"
Lin Xiyin couldn't speak, but she hooked her arms around Pei Muye's neck.
How could I not be happy?
Doing this with the one you love makes you feel like you're on cloud nine.
Especially when she thought about Pei Muyi going on a business trip, and that he hadn't left yet, she felt reluctant to part with him.
While they were deeply in love, Huo Xianyang couldn't even get into Xiao Ruoyi's bedroom.
However, he was satisfied, at least he wasn't kicked out again.
But to be honest, Xiao Ruoyi is due to give birth in just over two months at most, and he is very worried about leaving her alone.
Fearing he wouldn't be able to hear anything at night if he slept in another bedroom, Huo Xianyang simply lay down on the sofa.
In the middle of the night, he heard a noise, and his eyes lit up. Xiao Ruoyi opened the bedroom door and came out.
By the light of the bedroom lamp, Huo Xianyang saw her.
Xiao Ruoyi took a few seconds to adjust to the darkness after moving from the bright light to the dark, and then went to turn on the light.
When she saw who was in the bedroom, she was startled: "What are you doing here?"
Huo Xianyang stood up: "What's wrong? Why did you wake up at this time..."
Xiao Ruoyi ignored him and walked straight to the kitchen.
She was hungry but didn't know what she wanted to eat, so she opened the refrigerator to take a look.
Huo Xianyang followed over: "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Xiao Ruoyi opened the refrigerator.
The refrigerator was always full, as Huo Xianyang had it bought and delivered.
A wide variety of fresh fruits, chicken, duck, fish, and meat are available.
There used to be a large double-door refrigerator, but now it's too small to fit everything, so Huo Xianyang wants to have another refrigerator delivered.
Xiao Ruoyi got angry, saying that the two of them couldn't eat it and it wouldn't be fresh if left out for too long.
That dissuaded him from his idea.
Actually, Huo Xianyang just wanted to put in more varieties because he didn't know what she wanted to eat, and it would be best to have everything.
If it's not fresh, just ask someone to replace it.
He wanted to give Xiao Ruoyi the best.
Xiao Ruoyi opened the refrigerator, but still didn't know what to eat.
She took the sliced bread and ignored Huo Xianyang.
"I'll heat it up for you."
"No need, I'll eat it cold."
"Yiyi..."
Xiao Ruoyi sat down with the bread, opened the packaging, and tore off a strip.
"I'm worried you might get an upset stomach if you eat it," Huo Xianyang suggested. "How about I heat it up a bit and add a couple of slices of beef?"
"don't want!"
"How about spreading some jam on it?"
"No!" Xiao Ruoyi said, annoyed by his words, "Go to sleep."
"Not sleepy."
"Why are you sleeping on the sofa?" Xiao Ruoyi glared at him. "If you don't want to stay here, then leave."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hear you when you wake up at night."
"I'm fine on my own!"
"Yes, yes, I was just worrying unnecessarily." Huo Xianyang looked at her and asked, "Would you like some milk?"
"don't want!"
Well, rejecting him is much better than ignoring him.
Xiao Ruoyi ate one piece and then didn't want to eat any more.
Because of her, Huo Xianyang also improved his cooking skills.
He asked, "Can I make you some seafood noodles? I have seafood in the fridge."
After he said that, Xiao Ruoyi really did want to eat it.
"I don't want sea cucumber or shrimp," she said. "I want to eat sea snails."
"Yes." Huo Xianyang had it delivered during the day, and it was still quite fresh. "Then I'll make it for you."
Huo Xianyang went to the kitchen to get busy, while Xiao Ruoyi stood at the kitchen door watching him.
He turned around and smiled at her.
Xiao Ruoyi asked, "Huo Xianyang, are you a masochist?"
