Chapter 168: Mom Believes in You
“…”
Qin Song blinked blankly, then raised his hand and patted Pei's mother's back without knowing why.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Pei's mother let her go, her eyes already red and wet.
"Xiao Song, are you okay?"
Qin Song shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
"...That's fine, that's fine." Pei's mother only repeated this sentence and didn't say anything else.
Qin Song saw her wiping tears secretly and knew that she had seen the news.
Although that thing was false, it would be shameful if it were spread out. On her way back, Pei's mother must have heard a lot of gossip about Qin Song.
Qin Song bit his lip and felt that he should explain something now.
But Pei's mother didn't seem to intend to ask.
"Come and sit down. Mom bought you milk tea." She reached out and held Qin Song's wrist, took Qin Song to sit on the sofa, then put a straw into the milk tea she had just bought and fed it to Qin Song's mouth with her own hands.
Qin Song was stunned for a moment, then took a big sip of hot milk tea through the straw.
"It tastes good." She said with a smile.
Mother Pei put down the milk tea and chatted with her as if nothing had happened: "The milk tea shop at the entrance of the community is holding an autumn event, saying that as long as you buy their designated drinks, you can buy one and get one free. I thought you haven't had milk tea for a long time, so I bought you a cup." "Xiaoxuan also got off work early today, so I can give her the cup I gave her, so that she won't always complain that I don't buy things for her now."
Qin Song: "Well, thank you, mom."
Mother Pei touched her head, and the kindness in her eyes did not change at all.
"You haven't had lunch yet, can I go make you a bowl of noodles?"
Qin Song nodded: "Okay, I want to eat the beef noodles cooked by my mother, the kind with lots of beef!"
Mother Pei immediately stood up from the sofa: "Wait, Mom will make it for you now."
Qin Song: "Thank you, Mom!"
“Wow——”
The faucet in the kitchen was turned on, and Pei's mother put on an apron and started to get busy.
Qin Song took a few more sips of the milk tea, but in the end he couldn't help himself and went into the kitchen reluctantly.
"Why are you here?" Pei's mother took the time to look at her and asked gently.
She thought about it and decided to speak tactfully.
"Mom, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
When Pei's mother heard this, she paused for a moment in cutting beef, but only for a moment.
"Nothing I want to ask." She knew what Qin Song meant, so she didn't play dumb and talk around with her.
"Xiaoxuan has already told me about that matter. We all believe you."
Qin Song: "But you never asked me in person, and I never explained anything to you."
"You don't need to explain anything to me." Mother Pei smiled as she cut the beef. "We are a family. If family members say there is no problem, then there is no problem."
"Mom..." Qin Song had prepared many excuses, but now he was blocked by Pei's mother and could not say anything.
Mother Pei urged her: "Go back and sit down, Mom will be fine soon."
Qin Song didn't move, still standing behind her blankly: "Mom, why do you trust me so much? I have done so many wrong things in the past."
Pei's mother was concentrating on cutting the beef, as if Qin Song's question was as ordinary as "what to eat later".
"The past is the past, and the past is gone. The past is just dust and smoke, and we cannot judge a person's present based on the past."
"To me, Qin Song is now a very good girl. She deserves my trust."
Mother Pei looked back at Qin Song again and said, "Go back and sit down to drink your milk tea. Mom will cook the noodles soon."
“…”
Qin Song looked at her blankly, feeling as if he had lost the ability to speak.
Every time she faced such sincere and passionate love, she could never find the words to express her feelings.
Because she has not felt much love since she was a child, she feels helpless and at a loss when facing love.
She touched her belly, reluctantly left the kitchen, and obediently sat on the sofa waiting for her noodles.
Pei Lingxuan was delayed for a long time before coming back, and when she came back the beef noodles happened to be ready.
"Xiaoxuan." Pei's mother called her in the kitchen.
She first made a reassuring gesture to Qin Song, and then responded: "Hey!"
Mother Pei: "Come here and serve the noodles. Mom wants to take a bath."
"Come now!" Pei Lingxuan turned and walked to the kitchen.
Pei's mother had already had lunch at her workplace, so after she cooked the noodles she went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
Suddenly, Qin Song and Pei Lingxuan were the only ones left in the living room.
The two of them sat at the dining table eating noodles. No one spoke for the first minute, and the only sound in the air was the sound of slurping noodles.
But a minute later, Pei Lingxuan spoke first.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. My brother went to the studio to take care of some things. Ye Ci just sent me a message saying that he had been picked up and he is safe."
"Okay." Qin Song nodded and smiled slightly with the corners of his lips curled.
Pei Lingxuan glanced at her and asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, what happened between you and my brother? Why are you suddenly quarreling?"
Qin Song: "...It's not a quarrel. I was hiding something from him and he got angry."
"You're hiding something from him?" Pei Lingxuan smelled gossip and immediately put down her chopsticks. "What is it? Can you tell me?"
Qin Song said firmly: "No."
"Ah..." Pei Lingxuan grabbed her arm and shook it like a spoiled child, "Why? Are you going to hide it from me?"
Qin Song: "Yes, I will keep it a secret from you for now."
"...Okay." Pei Lingxuan could see that Qin Song really didn't want to say it, so she didn't keep asking her questions.
Qin Song thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked her: "Xiaoxuan, I just refused to confess my secret to you, are you angry?"
Pei Lingxuan frowned and thought for a while: "No. Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to tell them, then don't tell them. And you just emphasized that you are only hiding it from me temporarily, not forever. It doesn't matter if I know it later."
Qin Song put down his chopsticks, looking distressed: "Then why is your brother angry? Why did he leave directly in anger?"
Pei Lingxuan smiled: "Because my brother's identity is different. I am just your sister-in-law, but my brother is your husband. A husband is someone you will spend your life with, so of course he hopes to share your secrets first."
"But this kind of sharing is different from gossip... Oh, I've never been married, so I don't know how to describe this feeling. Anyway, for me, I feel safe when I can share secrets with my partner."
"Sense of security..." Qin Song studied the word carefully, and a strong sense of guilt spread in his heart unconsciously.
