Chapter 243 Was it all an act?
Pei Muye said, "I said I have no objection."
If the whole family is going to live together, we should live in a villa.
Although we can't have our own private time together, the villa is big with many rooms, and once the doors are closed, no one can bother the other.
So he had no objection.
Lin Xiyin wasn't in a hurry to get married before, wanting to enjoy the sweetness of being in love.
Seeing Qu Jianhang and Yan Chengyu separated now makes me a little anxious.
She felt sorry for her mother, and she also felt sorry for Yan Chengyu.
They're both this age, and it wasn't easy for them to get together. Now that they're married, they can't even live together. How heartbroken Yan Chengyu must be.
But Pei Muye had already made arrangements for the wedding, which was scheduled for September, so it was difficult to change it.
Besides, to be honest, Lin Xiyin really didn't want to bring it up in advance.
She later comforted herself, thinking that waiting another three months or so shouldn't be a problem.
Then the whole family can live together.
Yan Chengyu and Qu Jianhang no longer need to live apart.
In June, Pei Muyi was going on a business trip abroad.
He hasn't been on a business trip in a long time. If there's anything going on abroad or in another province, he always sends someone else over.
Business trips mean being separated from his wife and children, and Pei Muye simply can't bear to leave them.
Although Lin Xiyin didn't sleep with him every night, he could still win her heart every two or three days.
This business trip, especially abroad, involves some tricky matters, and I don't know how many days it will take before I can return.
We were separated for three years before, and although it was sad, it wasn't as painful as it is now.
The longing was so intense that it kept him awake at night.
But he had no choice. He bore the responsibility for the entire group, and there were some things that only he could do.
The day after Pei Muyi left, Lin Xiyin met with Jiang Yufan again.
This time she brought Youyou with her.
As for Jiang Yufan's desire to see Qu Jianhang, we can only let nature take its course.
She and Jiang Yufan weren't that close yet, unlike Xiao Ruoyi, who was as close as sisters. That's why Qu Jianhang went to the hospital to see her.
But for Jiang Yufan... all I can say is to let things take their course.
He might introduce his mother to her at her wedding.
Taking a child out can be quite inconvenient, but the little guy is pretty well-behaved, and Lin Xiyin finds it easy to take care of him.
Jiang Yufan bought a gift for Lin Youxing, and Lin Xiyin told him to accept it.
However, she could tell that her son wasn't very interested and his attitude towards Jiang Yufan was rather indifferent and not very enthusiastic.
Lin Xiyin thought it might be because it was the first time he had met Jiang Yufan, and things would get better once they got to know each other better.
On the way back, after getting in the car, Lin Youxing put the toy aside, and Lin Xiyin asked him, "Don't you like it?"
Lin Youxing, however, said, "I don't like this auntie."
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
Lin Youxing rarely says he dislikes someone.
It's so strange that he said he doesn't like Jiang Yufan today.
Lin Xiyin asked, "Why don't you like Aunt Jiang?"
Lin Youxing shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't like it."
Lin Xiyin thought for a moment. The meal time was only a little over an hour. During that time, apart from going to the restroom once, the three of them were together the whole time.
Jiang Yufan was also very gentle and patient with Lin Youxing.
Lin Youxing said, "Auntie knocked your bag to the ground."
"I know, when Mom came back from the bathroom, Auntie told her. Oh dear, Auntie didn't mean it. Do you not like Auntie because of this?"
Lin Youxing couldn't explain it either: "Anyway, I don't like it."
Lin Xiyin sighed: "Auntie is Mom's friend..."
"Do I have to like my mom's friend?"
Although the little guy is only three years old, he speaks very logically and clearly, which is quite different from ordinary children.
Qu Jianhang often says that his little grandson is a genius, and Lin Xiyin can only smile.
What genius? He's just a little smarter than the average child.
“No one says you have to like someone,” Lin Xiyin told him. “But you can’t just say you don’t like someone.”
"Can't I even go with my mom?"
“You can tell your mother,” Lin Xiyin said, “but you can’t tell the person in question. If you like them, then you can spend more time with them; if you don’t like them, just maintain basic politeness.”
"I understand!"
The little guy is very perceptive; as long as you reason with him, he won't act unreasonably.
However, Lin Xiyin had never actually seen him throw a tantrum like other naughty kids.
Qu Jianhang said this was because she taught Lin Youxing very well.
Pei Muye said the same thing.
But Lin Xiyin felt that she hadn't really disciplined her children much; she mostly taught them by example.
No matter how much you tell your child, it's not as effective as parents demonstrating how to do it themselves.
Lin Youxing has always been very sensible, but I didn't expect him to say he doesn't like Jiang Yufan today.
Lin Xiyin didn't say anything, and she did explain the big principles to him, but she was actually a little uncomfortable inside.
After the child fell asleep, she told Qu Jianhang about it.
Qu Jianhang asked, "What kind of person is your friend?"
Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, why would you ask that? My friend is definitely a good person!"
"Well, I'm not questioning your taste in friends. It's just that sometimes, children are very perceptive, and they tend to prefer simple people."
"I think Yu Fan is a good person."
"Of course, children sometimes have their own preferences, and you don't need to worry about it. It's you who makes friends, not him."
That's what they say, but since his grandson didn't like it, Qu Jianhang subconsciously lost his goodwill towards Lin Xiyin, his friend.
It's not that she's arbitrary, but since she's so fond of everything related to the house, she's bound to hate everything related to it too.
She couldn't say she hated him, but since her grandson didn't like him, she didn't like him either.
Lin Xiyin is so old, she doesn't need to be taught what kind of friends to make.
If Jiang Yufan is truly malicious, she has the ability to protect Lin Xiyin.
Qu Jianhang never inquired about this matter again.
Pei Muyi has been away on a business trip for five days and hasn't returned yet.
Things are a bit tricky over there, so he can't come back for the time being.
But he calls Lin Xiyin every day and wants to video chat before going to bed.
Lin Xiyin initially thought it was a good idea, since Pei Muye would definitely cause her trouble if he were home.
But on the third day after he left, she started missing him.
But to everyone's surprise, Pei Muyi showed no sign of returning by the seventh day.
Qu Jianhang and Yan Chengyu, after all, are of a certain age, and their feelings are not as passionate as those of younger people.
She even advised Lin Xiyin, "Why don't you go abroad and visit him for a couple of days, then come back together?"
It just so happened to be the weekend, so she did have time.
After Qu Jianhang mentioned it, she actually had that plan in mind.
“Then, I’ll discuss it with Pei Muyi. I’m just worried that my going there might disrupt his work plans.”
"Even if you're busy, you still have time to eat and sleep. It's okay if you go for a couple of days."
Hearing her mother say this, Lin Xiyin was even more tempted.
She went back to her room, intending to call Pei Muye and tell him.
Then she thought, maybe it would be better to go secretly and give him a surprise.
Qu Jianhang said he would apply for a flight route so she could travel by private jet.
Lin Xiyin found it troublesome and thought it would be better to go to the airport herself.
She opened her phone to check flight information. Her phone beeped, and when she switched to it, she saw that Jiang Yufan had sent her a message.
It's an audio file.
She clicked on it, and the voice that came through made her freeze in shock.
The audio was short, about twenty seconds long, and after it finished playing, the room was very quiet.
Lin Xiyin felt as if thunder was exploding in her ears, one after another, leaving her mind blank.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she came to her senses, looked down, and saw that her phone had fallen to the ground sometime during the night.
She picked it up and found that Jiang Yufan had sent her several more messages.
"Xiyin, this is a message I saw in a group chat by chance. I don't know who posted it."
"That man's voice sounds familiar, could it be Pei Muye?"
"How could word get out about something like this?"
"Listen, isn't that Pei Muye?"
That's all for the news about Jiang Yufan.
Lin Xiyin felt as if she had been pricked by a needle in her heart.
That voice belonged to Pei Muye.
How could she not recognize her own man's voice?
However, Pei Muyi's words, and his heavy breathing, his panting...
It was clearly the sound of someone making love.
The sound of him pressing down on her...
It sounded so familiar; I had heard it just a few days ago.
But now, it appears in the message sent by Jiang Yufan.
What group?
What kind of group would have such a message?
Besides, how could the sounds of her and Pei Muye sleeping be broadcast by others?
There is only one possibility.
Pei Muye was recording himself doing something with someone, and the recording was then released.
She had previously asked him if he had ever met a girl he was attracted to.
Will he have close contact with other people?
He said no firmly.
impossible.
But this sound says it all.
Was she too foolish?
She could choose not to believe the photos she received before.
However, she couldn't help but believe this voice.
Who is he calling "baby"?
Who did he do that to?
Lin Xiyin's vision blurred, and with the slightest movement, tears fell from her eyes.
When she came to her senses again, she heard a knock on the door.
"Ruan Ruan?"
It was Qu Jianhang's voice; he called her several times.
Lin Xiyin hastily wiped away her tears, got out of bed, and went to open the door.
"Ruan Ruan, what are you doing?" Qu Jianhang was taken aback when he saw her. "Are you crying? What's wrong?"
"I just saw a video," Lin Xiyin said with a forced smile, "a dog I loved passed away from illness."
"I've seen similar things online before, and they're really heartbreaking." Qu Jianhang handed her the milk: "Drink your milk. Have you booked your plane ticket?"
“No,” Lin Xiyin took the milk, “Mom, I can’t go. My colleague called me and I might have to go to school this weekend.”
"Can't we push it anymore?"
"I promised him," Lin Xiyin said. "Mom, it's okay, he'll be back in a few days."
Qu Jianhang had no choice but to say, "Alright then, you can arrange it yourselves."
After Qu Jianhang left, Lin Xiyin closed the door, took a deep breath, and felt as if her throat was stuffed with cotton, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
how so……
Was Pei Muye's deep affection all an act?
He has other women besides himself.
