Chapter 168 Pei Jingyan is back
Shen Lai gave birth a week earlier than her due date.
When she was sent to the hospital, both sets of parents came, but they were worried that Pei Chuxia would be frightened, so they didn't let her accompany them.
Shen Lai was lying on the hospital bed. She had severe stomach pain and cold sweat on her forehead. She looked around in a trance, trying to find the familiar figure in the crowd.
However, Shen Lai's wish was dashed.
Pei Jingyan didn't come.
She couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, but she was soon tormented by the pain that came over her and couldn't think too much.
Because she was only three fingers dilated and it was not time for delivery yet, Shen Lai was waiting in the ward for delivery, with both sets of parents accompanying her.
Chen Lai couldn't help but think of the last time she gave birth, Pei Jingyan stayed with her outside the operating room.
This time she was the only one giving birth.
Chang Suning inadvertently noticed that Shen Lai's eyes were red, so she stepped forward and asked, "Lai Lai, what's wrong? Is it too painful?"
Shen Lai shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Shen Lingzhen sighed, "For something like this, the Pei family kid isn't here..."
Before he could finish his words, Chang Suning stopped him with a look.
Shen Lai had been depressed recently because of Pei Jingyan's matter. Bringing it up again at this time would only make Shen Lai even sadder.
Seeing Shen Lai's expression, Shen Lingzhen shut up and comforted her, "It's okay, Lai Lai, mom and dad are here with you."
Shen Lai forced a smile, which looked very forced.
Yin Ningjing, who was not far away, saw this scene and looked at Pei Kaifeng. There was a complicated look in both of their eyes.
Then she walked out of the ward and made a phone call.
Shen Lai knew nothing about this.
As the night deepened, the hospital was extremely quiet. Shen Lai felt the pain in his stomach becoming more and more intense, and even his consciousness became a little fuzzy.
In a daze, she heard the sound of the ward door opening.
I originally thought it was a doctor coming to check on the situation, until a familiar voice sounded in my ears, "Chen Lai."
Shen Lai's whole body stiffened. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Pei Jingyan's all-too-familiar face.
Shen Lai stared at Pei Jingyan in a daze, and for a moment he thought he was hallucinating.
Isn’t Pei Jingyan in prison?
How did he come out?
"You, why did you come out?" Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan in disbelief.
Pei Jingyan came to the bedside and looked down at her, "Didn't you say that if I didn't come, you would hate me for the rest of your life?"
Chen Lai thought she was hallucinating. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the back of Pei Jingyan's hand hard.
It feels hard and very real.
She was not dreaming.
Pei Jingyan really came to the hospital to accompany her.
Shen Lai originally wanted to ask Pei Jingyan how he got out of prison, but she suddenly felt a severe pain in her stomach, which was so severe that she couldn't even speak.
Seeing this, Pei Jingyan quickly pressed the call bell at the bedside and called a doctor.
The doctor came to examine Shen Lai and said she was ready to give birth. He asked the nurse to push Shen Lai to the delivery room.
Along the way, Pei Jingyan held Shen Lai's hand tightly and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Lai felt Pei Jingyan's familiar body temperature and nodded slightly.
Arriving at the door of the delivery room, Shen Lai was worried that Pei Jingyan was going to leave, so he immediately grabbed him and refused to let go, saying nervously, "You are not allowed to leave."
"I'm not leaving." Pei Jingyan bent down and looked at her, "I'll stay here with you."
Seeing Pei Jingyan follow her into the delivery room, Shen Lai finally felt relieved.
She was afraid that after Pei Jingyan left, she would never see him again.
Perhaps because of Pei Jingyan's return, Shen Lai relaxed completely, as if the heavy stone pressing on his heart had disappeared, and the familiar sense of security returned to him.
With the experience from last time, Shen Lai's delivery went smoothly this time and was over in less than an hour.
Because she was too tired, she fell asleep as soon as she left the delivery room.
Chen Lai slept for the whole day.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the ward. The bed was surrounded by people, who were entertaining the baby in the crib.
Even Pei Chuxia came. Her eyes were red like a little rabbit, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
As for why she was crying, you don’t have to guess to know it was because of Pei Jingyan.
Pei Jingyan saw that Chen Lai had woken up, so he helped her up and gave her some water.
Shen Lai glanced at the child in the crib and said weakly, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Pei Jingyan said: "Boy."
Shen Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
With this child, Pei Jingyan's parents will no longer make things difficult for him.
Yin Ningjing brought the child over to show Chen Lai. The child had just fallen asleep and looked wrinkled because he was just born. It was not really good-looking.
Yin Ningjing said seriously: "Chen Lai, thank you for giving birth to a son for our Pei family."
Shen Lai shook his head slightly.
She did it for Pei Jingyan, not for his parents.
Seeing Chen Lai looking at Pei Jingyan, they guessed that the two had something to say. The parents of both sides looked at each other, tacitly found an excuse to leave, giving the young couple a chance to be alone.
The ward returned to silence, and even the sound of birds singing outside the window could be heard.
Chen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan without blinking. She was still a little dazed and had no real feeling about Pei Jingyan's appearance.
Pei Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch her face. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chen Lai's eyes turned red without warning, and his voice was choked with sobs, "Pei Jingyan, are you really out?"
Pei Jingyan hummed softly, "I really came out."
Shen Lai sniffed, "Aren't you locked up? How can you get out?"
Pei Jingyan tucked the quilt in for her and said, "Once the matter is resolved, I will come out."
Shen Lai didn't understand what this meant.
Didn't Pei Jingyan commit a crime? Can this kind of thing be solved?
Pei Jingyan then told Chen Lai the whole story.
It was not until this moment that Shen Lai realized that a transnational money laundering group that the police had been pursuing some time ago suddenly extended its funding chain to Pei Jingyan's group.
So the police proposed an undercover plan of "commercial crime" to Pei Jingyan, arrested Pei Jingyan with false evidence of smuggling, and took the opportunity to detain him in the prison area where the group members were located.
Only then did Shen Lai understand how Pei Jingyan could come out so easily.
It turns out that this was all part of their plan from the beginning to the end.
No wonder even Pei Jingyan's parents were not in a hurry. At that time, she thought they were helpless. Now it seems that they had known that Pei Jingyan would be out soon.
Thinking that his family had kept it a secret from him for so long, Shen Lai was furious. "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
