Chapter 313: Reunion
Xie Zhaoyuan fell asleep in Pei Xingzhi's arms, but Pei Xingzhi was not sleepy at all.
He looked at the person sleeping in his arms, and felt as if his heart was blocked by a ball of cotton, making it difficult for him to breathe and calm down.
Xie Zhaoyuan never mentioned a word about how difficult the days he spent in Qin Wushuang's captivity were. But from her emaciated body and gray eyes, he could clearly feel her despair and collapse when she was imprisoned.
She always reports good news but not bad news, and as long as she is not overwhelmed, she never bothers to tell anyone about her suffering.
"Um……"
Maybe she was having a nightmare, for she suddenly frowned and snorted while she was sleeping.
"Be good..." Pei Xingzhi quickly reached out and patted her back, coaxing her softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here, Pei Xingzhi is here."
As soon as she heard Pei Xingzhi's name, her frown immediately relaxed.
"Ayuan, be good..." Pei Xingzhi touched her face, and she unconsciously rubbed her cheek against the palm of Pei Xingzhi's hand, like an insecure cat.
Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her. Just as he was about to bend down to kiss her face, a drop of warm water suddenly slid down from the corner of his eye.
He subconsciously reached out to wipe it, but found that the more he wiped, the more it appeared and it could not be wiped clean.
“…I really lost to you.”
He felt helpless and distressed, and finally could only speak to the sleeping Xie Zhaoyuan with sobs.
Xie Zhaoyuan was sleeping very soundly and did not hear these words. She just vaguely felt her face itchy, as if water was flowing on her skin.
"oops……"
She raised her hand and slapped her face impatiently, then hid her cheek in Pei Xingzhi's chest as if she was annoyed.
"Hehe," Pei Xingzhi's tears were still flowing when he was caught off guard by her laughter.
She was unconscious and just curled up in Pei Xingzhi's arms, sleeping peacefully.
She slept for a long time. When I woke up, it was already dark outside.
"My dear, are you awake?"
A familiar female voice with a slight sob sounded in Xie Zhaoyuan's ears. Xie Zhaoyuan rubbed his eyes and turned to look to the side only after his vision became completely clear.
"...Mom? Dad?" She suddenly sat up from the bed, staring blankly at Bai Ruiying and Xie Jiangshan who were standing by the bed.
"Oh." Bai Ruiying wiped her tears while reaching out to stroke Xie Zhaoyuan's face, measuring Xie Zhaoyuan's thin cheeks with her skinny palm.
"Now that you've woken up, do you feel better?"
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan felt aggrieved all of a sudden.
She sat sideways on the bed and opened her arms to ask Bai Ruiying and Xie Jiangshan to hug her.
"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much."
Bai Ruiying's tears, which had been held back for a long time, finally burst out at this moment.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." She stood up almost in a panic and hugged the pitiful Xie Zhaoyuan tightly in her arms.
Xie Jiangshan opened his arms and hugged his wife and daughter tightly.
"It's okay as long as I'm okay. It's okay as long as my Zhao Zhao is okay..."
"What's wrong?" Bai Ruiying touched Xie Zhaoyuan's shoulders and back distressedly, angry and sad, "The child has lost so much weight, it feels like only bones are left... Qin Wushuang, that damn guy, if he dares to die a step later, I will chop him with a knife!"
"Ah..." Xie Jiangshan sighed heavily, and was already crying so hard that he couldn't speak. "It's okay. Although Qin Wushuang is dead, the Qin Group is still here. I won't let the Qin family go."
"Yeah!" Xie Zhaoyuan nodded in Bai Ruiying's arms. His well-behaved and aggrieved look made Xie Jiangshan's heart tremble.
"…If you want to cry, just cry." On the balcony, Song Yihan glanced at Xie Mingyi's red eyes, and very sensibly took out two tissues from her bag and handed them to him, "Use them to wipe your tears, no one will laugh at you."
"That's right." Pei Lingxuan agreed, "Look at my brother, he's crying like a tearful pear blossom."
"..." Pei Xingzhi rolled his eyes at her.
"Dad, Mom, what am I thinking about?" After Xie Zhaoyuan recovered from the shock, her first reaction was to find her son.
"Xiang Xiang is here." Pei Yulin picked up Xiang Xiang and carefully put her into Xie Zhaoyuan's arms.
"The little brat just finished drinking milk and is feeling sleepy now."
Xie Zhaoyuan held her son whom she missed day and night, but did not rush to take care of him. Instead, she looked up at Pei Yulin and called "Mom" softly.
"Hey." Pei Yulin replied with red eyes, touching her head distressedly, "It's good that you're back. When things here are settled, Mom will make delicious food for you every day and make up for all the weight you lost."
"Yeah!" Xie Zhaoyuan nodded, and said a few words to Pei Yulin before he went to look at the little kid in his arms with peace of mind.
"Think about it." She patted the kid's butt, tears falling one by one, "Think about it, I'm your mother, do you still remember your mother?"
Thinking about this, he couldn't speak and could only stare at Xie Zhaoyuan with his round, bright eyes. Xie Zhaoyuan tilted his head and pinched his little face and smiled like he used to.
"Think about it, I am your mother, don't you recognize your mother?"
Thinking that he didn't know whether he could understand what she said, he just stared at Xie Zhaoyuan seriously and attentively with his eyes open, and then suddenly burped.
"Well……"
Seeing this, Xie Zhaoyuan quickly freed up one hand and gently patted Xiangxiang's belly. After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that this action was very familiar. He looked at Xie Zhaoyuan for a while, then grinned and laughed.
When he smiled, everyone else in the room smiled too. Xie Zhaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.
"Is the little thing so cute?" She pinched Xiangxiang's face, and couldn't help but lower her head and kissed her face a few times.
Thinking about it, it seemed like he recognized her. When she kissed him, he smiled, his face flushed red, like a lucky doll.
"Eh..." Xie Mingyi sighed, and finally took the tissue handed to him by Song Yihan, wiping his tears awkwardly.
"Our family is finally together again."
"Yeah." Pei Lingxuan agreed while wiping her eyes, "Without such annoying people, our family can finally stay together peacefully."
"Yeah!" Song Yihan nodded, showing her agreement, but then she unconsciously thought of another thing.
"Hey." She bumped Pei Lingxuan's arm, glanced at Lin Jiahe next to her with the corner of her eye, and whispered in her ear in a low voice.
"How have you considered the matter between you and Lin Jiahe?"
"...Ah?" Pei Lingxuan knew what she meant, but pretended to be stupid, "What does he have to do with me? Why should I consider it?"
"...You want to pretend, right?" Song Yihan saw through her at a glance and threatened directly, "If you are determined to pretend with me, then I will go and tell Zhao Zhao about this right now and let her make her own judgment."
Having said that, Song Yihan really wanted to go find Xie Zhaoyuan.
