Chapter 148 Inviting the Ex-Boyfriend to Participate
Seeing Pei Jingyan approaching, Shen Lai widened his eyes and quickly covered his mouth when he was about to kiss him.
"You, stay away from me!"
Shen Lai bent down and quickly slipped out from under his arm, ran back to the bed and covered herself with the quilt.
"I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!"
Seeing Chen Lai wrapped himself up like a cicada pupa, Pei Jingyan sneered and sat down beside the bed.
Feeling Pei Jingyan approaching, Shen Lai moved to the side, fearing that he would do something rash in anger.
Pei Jingyan ignored her little action and threatened through the quilt, "If you run around late at night again next time, we will do something else to pass the time."
Shen Lai held his breath and did not respond.
After a while, Chen Lai heard a "pop" sound, followed by a rustling sound beside him, and the soft mattress sank a little.
After waiting for a long time and hearing Pei Jingyan speak, Shen Lai quietly poked his head out from under the quilt and found that the lights in the room had been turned off at some point. Pei Jingyan had already lay down with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Shen Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and touched his chest with relief.
However, after this lesson, Shen Lai never dared to go to the baby room late at night again.
She didn't want to challenge Pei Jingyan's bottom line.
A few days later, the two took their children to visit the old man.
The old man then learned about Shen Lai's premature birth. He was so angry that he scolded Pei Jingyan, saying that such an important thing had not been told to him until now.
However, after seeing the child, the old man's anger immediately subsided by half.
As people get older, their obsession with their descendants becomes uncontrollable and stronger, especially for old men who are about to be buried. They are already satisfied if they can see their grandsons get married and have children in their lifetime.
The old man specially asked someone to bring the gold locket he had made in advance to put on the child, and he loved him very much.
Seeing that the old man did not dislike Pei Chuxia because she was a girl, Shen Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Shen Lai's expression, Pei Jingyan put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "Are you so worried that the old man will be dissatisfied?"
Shen Lai curled his lips and said, "It's not that I'm worried, but the old man is very good to me, and I'm worried that he will be disappointed."
She knew in her heart that Pei Jingyan's parents didn't like her, so as long as Pei Jingyan stood on her side, she had nothing to worry about.
But the old man is old and has been so good to Shen Lai, she doesn't want to make him sad.
Pei Jingyan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, if the old man didn't like our daughter, he wouldn't react like this."
Shen Lai was skeptical, "Really?"
Pei Jingyan said lightly, "Of course, in fact, the old man used to be very obsessed with his grandson, but now he has let it go."
Shen Lai was a little surprised, "Why?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly, "Before, he saw that I had never married and had already made up his mind to end my family lineage. So as long as I could get married, it was fine. As for whether it was a boy or a girl, he didn't force it."
When he said this, he also looked at Shen Lai deeply and said playfully: "Shen Lai, you have come at a good time."
Shen Lai didn't buy it. "Don't give me that. It's because you couldn't catch up with me. Otherwise, we would have been together a long time ago. There would be no need for your grandfather to worry about you."
Seeing that Chen Lai was not fooled, Pei Jingyan curled his lips.
He suddenly reached out and put his arm around Shen Lai's waist. Their bodies inevitably pressed together. His deep, magnetic voice was tinged with a hint of amusement. "You're right. I should have just taken you by force at that time, like those overbearing CEOs on TV who forced you to be with me and tortured you physically and mentally."
It would be fine if I didn't mention this, but I get angry when I mention Shen Lai.
She placed her hands on Pei Jingyan's chest and said unhappily, "You weren't much better at the beginning either. You spoke in a sarcastic tone and said something like, 'You'd better pray that nothing happens to the child, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers.'"
If it weren't for her mother's medical expenses, she would have given up on it.
Pei Jingyan's eyes showed an imperceptible smile, "If I don't pretend to be like that, won't you find out that I have a crush on you?"
Shen Lai has always been unable to win an argument with Pei Jingyan. He snorted and was obviously still angry.
Pei Jingyan didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly said, "I didn't know your father was framed at the time. I should have helped you investigate sooner."
Chen Lai paused, she looked up at Pei Jingyan, Pei Jingyan met her eyes, with an elusive sense of self-blame in his deep eyes.
The anger that was blocking her chest receded like a tide. She whispered, "It's none of your business. There was complete evidence at the time, so it's normal that you didn't suspect anything."
Even now, many people think that her father's case was overturned because of Pei Jingyan's intervention, and that he is not truly innocent.
What's more, the evidence was conclusive at the time.
And no matter what, Chen Lai is very grateful to Pei Jingyan. If it weren't for him, her mother might not have been able to continue receiving treatment.
Chen Lai raised his eyes to look at Pei Jingyan, and said word by word: "If it weren't for you, Han Xinjie wouldn't have been able to confess so quickly, and my father wouldn't have been released so quickly. In fact, you are my family's great benefactor."
Pei Jingyan's lips curled up, and he approached Shen Lai with his hands in his pockets, "Since I am your benefactor, can I ask for a little reward?"
Shen Lai blinked in confusion, "What reward?"
Pei Jingyan leaned close to Chen Lai's ear and said a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
The next second, Shen Lai's face flushed, "You wish, go and solve it yourself!"
After saying that, he pushed Pei Jingyan hard and hurried to find the old man and the child.
Looking at Shen Lai's fleeing back, Pei Jingyan had a lazy smile in his eyes. He slowly stood up, then thought of something, and the curve of his mouth straightened little by little.
He is probably the only one who has not had sex after being married for so long.
Pei Chuxia will soon be a hundred days old, and the two are planning to hold a hundred-day banquet and invite relatives and friends to attend.
In the evening, the two were looking at the prepared guest list, when Shen Lai saw a familiar name on the list.
Huo Chilin.
Shen Lai thought he had misread it for a moment and turned to look at Pei Jingyan, "Is this name printed wrong? Why is Huo Chilin here too?"
Pei Jingyan glanced at the invitation letter in Shen Lai's hand and said lightly: "There is no printing error, he is indeed on the invitation list."
Shen Lai was confused. Pei Jingyan always hated Huo Chilin, so why would he invite him to their daughter's first birthday party?
Shen Lai asked doubtfully, "Why did you invite Huo Chilin? Don't you hate him?"
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows. "He's your ex-boyfriend after all. How could you not invite him to such an important occasion?"
