Pei Sui returned at 10:30. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Meng Sheng holding that pink phone and scrolling through it. He took off his coat and walked over. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I slept too much during the day, so I can't sleep now." Meng Sheng looked up at him. "How about it? Tonight I'm playing chess and cards with my dad and the others."
"We lost."
Pei Sui casually tossed his coat onto the sofa at the foot of the bed, uttering those two words lightly, without a trace of displeasure.
Meng Sheng laughed, "Where's my dad?"
"He seemed alright, but I just watched him drink his medicine and lie down. His uncle and the others have also gone back to their rooms."
"That means Attorney Pei's skills in faking things are getting better and better. He completely fooled Professor Meng. I bet he'll be bragging to us about it tomorrow."
A hint of a smile appeared in Pei Sui's deep eyes. He leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"
Meng Sheng held her phone out to him without hiding anything, "The album has a lot of photos and videos of Jiao Jiao in it. I'm just browsing through them. Take a look."
Pei Sui sat down on the edge of the bed, took the phone and looked at a few photos and videos. After a moment of thought, he said, "I can tell you love her very much."
Every photo and every video is filled with so much maternal love that even he can feel it.
Meng Sheng's smile faded for a few seconds, then deepened, and she said softly, "Yes, I think so too."
If she hadn't loved this child so much, she wouldn't have had suicidal thoughts because of the child's accidental death in her previous life.
Perhaps this was the trigger, but it was also her last straw.
"She looks like you." Pei Sui said objectively, looking at the little girl's eyebrows and features in the photo.
Meng Sheng hummed in agreement, but to be precise, Jiao Jiao's peach blossom eyes were exactly the same as Shang Boyu's.
Very similar.
But the others are very similar to Meng Sheng.
Even at such a young age, you can tell she's destined to be a beauty.
"Hey, you know what? It's amazing, this phone... it doesn't lose battery. When I took it out of my dream this morning, it only had 27% battery left, and it's still at 27% after a whole day. It just can't connect to the internet, the only things I can use are the photo album and text messages."
"Um?"
Pei Sui glanced at the battery level on his phone. He hadn't paid much attention to it that morning, but now he was genuinely astonished. "So amazing?"
“Yeah.” Meng Sheng rested her head on his shoulder and said with a sigh, “I always feel that what has happened in the past year or so is a bit unreal, like a dream, it’s so magical.”
Pei Sui put his arm around her waist and lowered his head to kiss her temple. "Yes, but having you makes me feel real, not like I'm dreaming."
Meng Sheng smiled and hugged him for a while, asking, "What time do we get up tomorrow morning?"
"At seven o'clock, we'll go down for breakfast at seven-thirty, and then head back to the north of the city."
"Okay, then go take a shower."
When Pei Sui came out of the bathroom, he turned off the main light in the room, leaving only a motion-activated floor lamp, then lifted the covers, lay down, and pulled the person into his arms.
After a good night's sleep, Meng Sheng woke up the next day to wash up, and Pei Sui had already packed everything.
I need to check out today.
There wasn't much stuff, just two sets of clothes and toiletries.
As soon as the door opened, Meng Shixu and Qiu Yi walked towards them side by side.
"Good morning, brother and sister Qiuyi." Meng Sheng greeted them with a smile, a sly glint in his eyes.
Meng Shixu replied with a "Good morning" and nodded to Pei Sui in acknowledgment.
Qiu Yi tilted her head to look at her, "How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"
The two acted very naturally and gracefully. If she hadn't witnessed that scene last night, she would have thought they had just bumped into each other by chance.
"I slept quite well," Meng Sheng asked in return. "How about you? Did you sleep well last night?"
Qiu Yi, without blushing or skipping a beat, replied casually, "Yeah, it's fine."
Meng Shixu glanced at her sideways, then pressed the elevator button for them. "You guys go down and order first. I'll go see if Dad and Uncle are up yet."
"good."
The three of them entered the elevator and went directly to the restaurant floor.
Meng Sheng lagged a few steps behind, took Qiu Yi's arm, and let Pei Sui walk in front.
Seeing her furtive behavior, Qiu Yi raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Is there something your husband can't hear?"
Meng Sheng narrowed her eyes. If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, she would have already resorted to torture.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely, Sister Qiuyi. Is there something going on between you and my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yi smiled and asked her leisurely, "What did you discover?"
Meng Sheng snorted twice, "You still want to hide it from me? When I came up yesterday, I saw the two of you talking at the door of the room, and then you grabbed my brother's... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiuyi covered her mouth, effectively muting her.
