Chapter 169 Don't go back tonight
Lin Xiyin didn't know how long she had been crying. She only felt embarrassed when she belatedly realized that she had soaked Pei Muyi's clothes with her tears.
"sorry……"
She pushed him away and glanced at his chest.
"My clothes are all dirty, I'll go to the dry cleaners."
“No need.” Pei Muyi looked down at her. “It’s not dirty.”
Lin Xiyin turned her face away, only to feel her earlobes burning.
Pei Muye resisted the urge to take her hand and asked, "Shall we go?"
"Walk."
The two got into the car, saying nothing, and there was no awkwardness between them.
No one mentioned the hug, as if it had never happened.
When they arrived at Lin Xiyin's building, Pei Muyi asked, "Has everything been resolved?"
Not wanting Pei Muyi to worry, Lin Xiyin nodded: "It's resolved."
"Then come to my place tomorrow? I want to cook a meal for you and Youyou."
"You'll do it?"
In Lin Xiyin's memory, Pei Muyi seemed to only know how to make noodles.
She had the privilege of eating it once before the two were divorced.
“I’ll make it,” Pei Muye said. “It’ll let you taste my cooking.”
Lin Xiyin said, "I have to go to school tomorrow morning, and I don't know what time I'll finish in the afternoon. Is evening okay?"
“Okay, then I’ll take Youyou over first. He likes to play in the villa.”
When Lin Youxing came back last time, he said that Pei Muye had set up a toy room for him, a room of more than 100 square meters, filled with his toys.
There were excavators and various toy cars in the villa's yard, which is why he was so happy and didn't want to leave.
The two agreed on a time, and Pei Muye watched her go upstairs before returning home.
Lin Xiyin lay in bed and called Xiao Ruoyi.
Xiao Ruoyi has been in a good mood these past two days, but she still vomits a lot.
Upon seeing Lin Xiyin's call, she quickly answered, "Ruan Ruan!"
Hearing her voice so strong, Lin Xiyin asked, "How are you today? Are you feeling much better?"
"That's fine then," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Are you going to see your biological mother tomorrow?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow."
"Oh, the day after tomorrow." Xiao Ruoyi asked, "How are you? Excited?"
"I'm a little nervous."
"Why are you nervous? You should be happy," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I heard from Pei Muyi that she is unmarried and has no children, and she has been looking for you."
"Huh?" Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "She, she's not married?"
Pei Muye didn't tell her.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Yes, she's never gotten married, so she must love you very much."
Lin Xiyin asked, "Then...where's my dad?"
Xiao Ruoyi paused for a moment, then said, "I'm not too sure about that either. You can ask your mother yourself when the time comes."
Lin Xiyin responded with an "oh".
Xiao Ruoyi quickly changed the subject: "Ruanruan, have you ever thought about what kind of person your mother is? What does she do? Is she rich or poor? What is her personality like? Have you thought about it?"
Because Xiao Ruoyi knew who the other person was, she couldn't help but want to give Lin Xiyin a hint.
Lin Xiyin said, "Of course I think about her. I don't know what kind of person she is, but I can't control myself and I always have wild thoughts. Whether she has money or not is not important. If she loves me, I will love her too."
"What if she's extremely rich?"
“That might be good too. If she’s really rich, then she must have been doing well all these years, and I wouldn’t feel so guilty.”
Because she said that she had been searching for her daughter for many years.
Lin Xiyin would feel sorry for him if his financial situation was bad.
"You don't need to feel guilty. I don't know how you lost it back then. It wasn't your fault."
"Yes, I know." Lin Xiyin asked, "How are things between you and Huo Xianyang?"
“Him?” Xiao Ruoyi glanced at the man beside her: “He’s always nagging, it’s so annoying.”
Huo Xianyang made an extremely innocent expression.
Xiao Ruoyi was amused.
“Why are you still bothering him?” Lin Xiyin said. “He put aside all his work to stay with you in the hospital. Don’t say such hurtful things.”
Xiao Ruoyi said, "This child is half him, of course he's enthusiastic."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Xiyin told her to go to sleep before she threw up, and then hung up the phone.
"Is it because the child is so enthusiastic?" Huo Xianyang peeled an orange and held the peel under her nose for her to smell.
You can't eat it, but you can smell it.
"Otherwise what? If I hadn't gotten pregnant, you'd still be enjoying yourself abroad right now."
"Me, carefree? Xiao Ruoyi, do you have any conscience saying that?"
Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him: "What, didn't you see any blonde, blue-eyed foreign girls abroad?"
"I saw it, so what? What does it have to do with me?"
"Who knows if you've had a one-night stand with someone..."
"You heartless bastard." Huo Xianyang silenced her with a kiss on the lips. "I'll get angry if you say that again."
Xiao Ruoyi pushed him away, covered her mouth and frowned: "I already told you not to kiss me!"
She kept vomiting, and even after rinsing her mouth, she still felt that her mouth smelled bad and didn't want Huo Xianyang to get close to her.
"I'll kiss her, I like kissing," Huo Xianyang said. "Is it illegal for me to kiss my wife?"
Xiao Ruoyi pulled the blanket over her face and threw him two words: "Go to sleep!"
Huo Xianyang smiled and pulled the blanket down for her: "Sleep well, don't feel stuffy."
Half an hour later, Xiao Ruoyi finally fell asleep.
Once she was sound asleep, Huo Xianyang left the ward.
He called Chi Tianlin, who answered quickly.
"I think things are almost settled back home," Chi Tianlin said. "You're ruthless enough to have almost driven the old man to his death."
"What else can I do?" Huo Xianyang said, "I've already said that I only recognize Yiyi in my life."
How is Yiyi?
"These past two days have been alright," Huo Xianyang said. "At least I've been able to get a few hours of full sleep at night."
"That's good, things will get better slowly." Chi Tianlin said, "My family wants me to meet her first, and then we can get engaged..."
"No rush," Huo Xianyang said. "I don't even dare to mention this to Yiyi right now, for fear that it will affect her mood. Let's talk about it after this matter is resolved."
"Okay," Chi Tianlin said. "Anyway, your family can't change your mind."
"You'll understand how I feel when you find someone you like."
Chi Tianlin smiled but didn't say anything.
Huo Xianyang asked, "Do you know about Lin Xiyin's background?"
Chi Tianlin said, "She messaged me."
"Do you know who her biological mother is?"
Chi Tianlin was taken aback: "They met?"
"Not yet," Huo Xianyang said. "Her biological mother is from the Qu family, Qu Jianhang."
Even someone as unruly and unconventional as Chi Tianlin was impressed by Qu Jianhang.
Not to mention others.
He exclaimed in surprise, "It's her!"
Huo Xianyang said, "Yes, no one will dare to bully Xiyin anymore. Qu Jianhang is no simple person."
“No one dares to bully her now,” Chi Tianlin said. “I’ve got her under my protection.”
Huo Xianyang was silent for a few seconds before asking him, "What is your attitude towards Xiyin? If you like her, I'll help you pursue her."
Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "Do I need you?"
"So what do you mean? You like it?"
“I’m not that vulgar. I don’t want to get involved in romantic relationships,” Chi Tianlin said. “I just want to be good to her.”
“It’s obvious you like him,” Huo Xianyang said. “I think there’s a good chance with Pei Muyi. Don’t make a scene when he gets back together with you.”
“You don’t understand my feelings for her,” Chi Tianlin said. “I hope she’s happy, no matter who she’s with, as long as she’s happy.”
Huo Xianyang really didn't understand.
He liked Xiao Ruoyi, so he was possessive of her; she could only be with him.
He really didn't understand Chi Tianlin's thinking.
The next afternoon, Lin Xiyin finished her work after four o'clock.
She took a taxi to Pei Muye's villa by herself.
Inside the villa, Lin Youxing was playing in the sand.
Pei Muye was alone in the kitchen, preparing ingredients.
"Why didn't you ask someone to help you?" Lin Xiyin took off her coat and went into the kitchen. "What do you need me to do?"
“I’ve given them the day off,” Pei Muye said. “I said I’d do it, and I’ll do everything myself. You don’t need to help; just watch from the side.”
"That's too kind of you." Lin Xiyin looked at it and said, "Then I'll peel the garlic."
It seems she can't do anything else.
Even now, she still can't cook.
She glanced at Pei Muye.
At home, the man wore gray loungewear, which made him appear less dignified and more gentle and refined than a formal suit.
Three years have passed, and time has been exceptionally kind to him.
He possesses only the composure and elegance of a mature man, making him incredibly charming.
Pei Muyi looked over and met her gaze: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Xiyin then realized that she had been staring at him in a daze.
She hurriedly lowered her head, her earlobes turning red: "It's nothing."
Pei Muye smiled and said, "Could you get me some cooking wine?"
He was cleaning the fish, and his hands were covered in slime.
"Where?"
Pei Muye pointed: "In that cabinet."
Lin Xiyin opened the cabinet and found that it had two layers, with the cooking wine on the top layer, which she couldn't reach even when she stood on tiptoe.
When she reached out her hand, Pei Muye took a tissue to wipe his hands, then walked behind her, reached over her head, and took the cooking wine down.
Lin Xiyin's body stiffened.
Pei Muye's chest pressed against her back.
But soon, he took two steps back: "Got it."
Lin Xiyin felt her entire face burning.
The kitchen was so big, but she felt cramped.
"Um, I'll go check on Youyou."
Lin Xiyin tossed aside the half-peeled garlic and turned to leave.
Seeing her flee in disarray, Pei Muye's lips curled into a smile.
She still had feelings for him.
To keep up with someone's pace, you must keep moving forward.
Lin Xiyin accompanied Lin Youxing outside for a while.
The temperature was low, and it got dark early in winter. Before six o'clock, Lin Xiyin led Lin You into the villa and took him to wash his hands.
Pei Muye was placing the dishes on the dining table.
Lin Xiyin glanced at him, then quickly looked away and went into the restroom.
With Lin Youxing at the dinner table, there's never a dull moment.
However, the little guy got sleepy not long after eating.
"Sleep here tonight?" Pei Muye said, "Don't go back. I'll take you to see your mother tomorrow."
I cried myself to sleep that day, and I've already slept here one night.
Lin Xiyin felt that it would be a bit pretentious to refuse.
She said, "I'll tell Auntie."
Pei Muye looked at her, his eyes full of smiles: "Okay."
