Xu Xingran hasn't sent any messages to Pei Zhi in the past few days.
He was worried that he would affect Pei Zhi's work.
Xu Xingran wanted to tell Pei Zhi that the baby in her belly was moving.
Moreover, he had already made an appointment with the hospital for the 4D ultrasound.
He hoped that Pei Zhi could accompany him to the hospital for his 4D ultrasound.
He thought Pei Zhi was very busy, but he didn't expect that Pei Zhi was busy celebrating Huo Jiayuan's birthday.
The report prominently featured the headline "President Pei personally oversaw the preparations," which caught Xu Xingran's eye.
Xu Xingran turned off her phone, placed her hand on her stomach, and gently stroked it. Suddenly, Xu Xingran felt a little sad.
But he knew all along that Pei Zhi could never truly belong to him.
At first, all he really wanted was to keep the child.
But now he's starting to feel unbalanced, and he's starting to overthink things.
He even felt resentment, wishing that Huo Jiayuan didn't exist.
Xu Xingran pulled away the pillow, lay down, and forced herself to fall asleep.
It's already very late. You shouldn't stay up late after you get pregnant, otherwise it's not good for him and the baby.
How could Xu Xingran sleep after reading such an offensive report?
Xu Xingran tossed and turned in bed for several hours, but remained perfectly awake.
The doorbell rang suddenly outside, startling Xu Xingran awake.
Xu Xingran sat up, held her breath, and made sure she really heard the doorbell.
The security in the community is very good; surely no one would break in?
Xu Xingran picked up her phone and got out of bed.
When Xu Xingran saw the person standing outside the door through the peephole, she thought she was still asleep.
Otherwise, why would someone who was just featured in the news be standing outside his house?
Pei Zhi had been waiting for a while, so she reached out and pressed the doorbell again.
The door was suddenly opened, and Xu Xingran rushed out and hugged Pei Zhi tightly.
Fortunately, Pei Zhi reacted quickly and raised the flowers she was holding high.
"Why are you here?" Xu Xingran asked in a plaintive tone.
Xu Xingran thought that Pei Zhi had forgotten him.
How long has it been since they last met? Almost twenty days, right?
"Happy birthday."
It's past 3 a.m. now, and it's Xu Xingran's birthday.
"I'm sorry, I was on a plane in the early hours of the morning, so I couldn't wish you a happy birthday right away."
Xu Xingran released Pei Zhi: "You still remember my birthday?"
"Of course." Pei Zhi presented the flowers to Xu Xingran. "Otherwise, what would be the point of me going through all that trouble to come back?"
Holding the flowers, Xu Xingran muttered, "I thought you only remembered Huo Jiayuan's birthday."
Pei Zhi had no answer to this question, so she could only pretend she hadn't heard it.
Pei Zhi pushed Xu Xingran into the house, saying, "Don't stand at the door and chat."
Pei Zhi closed the door and took off her coat. "How have you been these days?"
"It's great, I'm eating and drinking well every day." Xu Xingran touched her belly. "The baby is doing well too, and I can feel the baby moving."
Xu Xingran held Pei Zhi's hand, letting Pei Zhi feel it.
"One night I was lying in bed when I suddenly felt a slight movement on the right side of my belly. You know, it took me a long time to realize it was fetal movement."
Pei Zhi gently patted Xu Xingran's stomach. "You've worked hard."
"It's getting late, go to sleep first. When it's light, I'll take you somewhere."
"Can you sleep with me tonight?"
Pei Zhi retorted, "Otherwise, why would I have rushed over?"
Xu Xingran immediately pulled Pei Zhi into the bedroom and took out a set of pajamas from the closet.
"This is what I prepared for you a long time ago. I've washed it. You can sleep in this tonight."
After Pei Zhi quickly washed up, Xu Xingran hugged her. He thought he would be too excited to sleep.
But when he held Pei Zhi in his arms, he felt very peaceful and at ease, and Xu Xingran quickly fell asleep.
Pei Zhi got up before 7 a.m. because she had already developed a regular sleep schedule and couldn't fall back asleep if she stayed in bed.
When Xu Xingran woke up, she reached out to the side, only to find nothing there.
Xu Xingran immediately snapped out of her daze. Hearing voices outside the door, she rushed out.
Pei Zhi sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while making a phone call.
Pei Zhi looked at Xu Xingran standing at the bedroom door, pointed to the breakfast, and gestured for Xu Xingran to hurry up and get ready to eat.
Xu Xingran saw that Pei Zhi hadn't left, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
He thought he was dreaming.
It turns out that Pei Zhi didn't leave.
Xu Xingran tidied herself up a bit and sat down next to Pei Zhi to have breakfast together.
Xu Xingran had worked as Pei Zhi's assistant before and knew that Pei Zhi was talking about work, so Xu Xingran didn't dare to interrupt.
After Pei Zhi finished arranging things, she asked, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I can't sleep."
Xu Xingran didn't say that he woke up and didn't see Pei Zhi, which scared him so much that he couldn't sleep.
He thought that he missed Pei Zhi so much that he imagined Pei Zhi coming to keep him company.
Xu Xingran took a bite of the shumai and asked, "Where are we going later?"
Pei Zhi kept everyone in suspense: "Finish your meal first, and we'll talk later."
After breakfast, Pei Zhi asked Xu Xingran to bring a down jacket.
Pei Zhi checked the weather; it was quite cold in Xu Xingran's hometown today.
The driver was waiting downstairs. After getting in the car, the plane headed to the airport.
Xu Xingran saw the airport sign. "Do we still need to take a plane?"
"Yes, flying is faster."
Xu Xingran didn't ask any more questions and followed Pei Zhi onto the private jet.
After the plane landed an hour later, Xu Xingran saw the familiar city signs and began to understand what was happening.
Pei Zhi brought him to her hometown.
As soon as she landed, Pei Zhi felt the coldness of the air.
After getting into the car, Xu Xingran asked, "Are you taking me to visit my parents' graves?"
“Yes.” Pei Zhi said helplessly, “I’ve been too busy, but I always have to keep my promise to you.”
Xu Xingran was pleasantly surprised: "You still remember?"
He thought Pei Zhi had just said it casually and that Pei Zhi had long forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zhi remembered and even chose his birthday to fulfill her promise to him.
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow and said, "How could I forget what I promised you?"
Actually, Pei Zhi had truly forgotten.
Pei Zhi's plan for today was to take Xu Xingran to see the house he used to live in and hand over the property certificate to Xu Xingran.
Then, they found a restaurant, had a birthday cake, and that concluded Xu Xingran's birthday celebration.
Since Xu Xingran had brought it up, Pei Zhi couldn't very well say that she had forgotten, that would be too uncooperative.
While Xu Xingran wasn't paying attention, Pei Zhi sent a message to the driver in the front seat.
After they go upstairs, have the driver buy some things needed for tomb sweeping, so that everything will be done perfectly.
