She covered her ample bosom, looking embarrassed.
Pei Siyu's eyes lit up, his gaze becoming increasingly intense.
Mingyao has fair skin, and the fiery red color makes her skin look even whiter than snow.
Her cool, aloof features, unadorned yet strikingly beautiful, appeared even more radiant and alluring.
She simply stood there, doing nothing, yet she could attract everyone's attention.
Pei Siyu couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment, and even the waiter was stunned.
Mingyao kept smiling, clutched her skirt, and awkwardly took two steps.
Having gotten used to wearing loose and simple clothes, suddenly switching back to my old style feels strange.
Mingyao never hesitates to show off her figure; she even wore crop tops with just a few straps to school.
I feel exposed wearing a tight dress with a neckline that barely covers my chest.
"It's still too revealing."
Mingyao said it sincerely.
I'm really getting old; I can't wear clothes meant for young people anymore.
"No, it's perfect."
The waiter showered Mingyao with compliments, saying that the dress was custom-made for her.
Mingyao was still a little hesitant. "There are still half a year until summer. What if I gain weight?"
She muttered to herself.
The waiter smiled and said, "Madam, this dress is suitable for a banquet."
"Madam looks like she's newly pregnant; it's perfect for her to wear it now."
The word "pregnant" struck Mingyao like a thunderbolt, and she subconsciously looked at Pei Siyu.
Pei Siyu put his arm around Mingyao's waist and explained with a smile, "My wife is not pregnant, she just has a slightly protruding belly."
The waiter apologized awkwardly, and Mingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After she changed back into her original clothes, Pei Siyu had already asked the waiter to wrap them up.
"Honey, we both have work to do, how can we have time to attend a banquet?"
"It'll just gather dust in the cupboard after I buy it."
"We'll go to the banquet tomorrow night."
Pei Siyu suddenly said.
Mingyao was stunned: "What banquet?"
"Qin Jiaojiao's welcome banquet."
“My grandfather liked her very much and specially held a welcome banquet for her at the Pei family home.”
I didn't expect Qin Jiaojiao to come back so quickly.
Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable fear filled her with unease.
The warmth of the hand brought Mingyao back to her senses. Pei Siyu said with concern, "If you don't want to go, just stay home and rest."
"go."
Mingyao gripped Pei Siyu tightly, afraid that he would be taken away from her.
In her previous life, Qin Jiaojiao returned after a technology exhibition. In this life, she returned a few months earlier. Does this foreshadow an increasing number of uncertainties in the future?
No matter what Qin Jiaojiao's purpose was in returning, she had to go see her and remove the thorn in her heart.
Memories so distant they were almost forgotten lingered in my mind because of Qin Jiaojiao.
She stayed home to rest and prepare for childbirth while rumors of Qin Jiaojiao and Pei Siyu's affair spread like wildfire on Weibo.
Mingyao wanted to keep a close eye on her phone 24/7, constantly monitoring Qin Jiaojiao and Pei Siyu's online activities.
She looked at Pei Siyu countless times, wanting to say something but holding back.
She didn't have the courage to ask Pei Siyu about his relationship with Qin Jiaojiao.
I could only hide in a corner, staring at my phone, secretly feeling jealous and sad.
In order to win Pei Siyu's heart, she endured the pain of pregnancy while pregnant and forced herself to try her best to be the perfect wife in Pei Siyu's eyes.
Even if Pei Siyu arranges three or four postpartum nannies and housekeepers to take care of her personally, she still wants to do everything related to Pei Siyu herself.
Pei Siyu always said she was too tired, but Mingyao never felt it was enough.
She was afraid that if she relaxed even slightly, Pei Siyu's heart would fly to Qin Jiaojiao.
Qin Jiaojiao was deeply loved by the Pei family. She and Pei Siyu were a perfect match, and everyone would say they were a match made in heaven when they stood together.
Besides being able to grovel and please Pei Siyu, Mingyao had no resources or capital to compete with Qin Jiaojiao.
Painful memories flooded back, as if Mingyao were being dragged into the deep sea by an invisible hand.
Her body went out of control, and she was dragged into the abyss by those hands.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The familiar voice suddenly pulled Mingyao back from the whirlpool of memories.
Meeting Pei Siyu's worried gaze, Mingyao forced a smile: "I remembered the nightmare I had last night."
What did you dream about?
I dreamt that you fell in love with someone else.
Mingyao lowered her voice, trying her best to make her tone sound normal.
"Honey, don't worry about it, it's just a dream."
There was too little happiness in her past life, so little that she could only recall the pain she experienced firsthand.
Mingyao secretly pinched her palm; it hurt.
She has changed a lot in her life and will not repeat the same mistakes.
As I stepped out of the mall, a razor-sharp wind rushed in through my collar.
Mingyao shuddered, her little face scrunching up.
Pei Siyu had bought a knitted hat sometime during the day, and it was now on her head.
"Dreams are all fake; I won't fall in love with anyone else."
Pei Siyu took out a scarf from his bag and carefully wrapped it around Mingyao's neck.
He gently stroked Mingyao's frostbitten nose: "If you suspect anything, you can tell me directly. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Mingyao's eyes were red from the cold, so much so that they were watery when she looked at Pei Siyu.
What if I ask you and you're lying to me?
Pei Siyu pressed down on Mingyao's hat, his warm hand pinching her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
She looked at Pei Siyu nervously and asked with an awkward smile, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Pei Siyu tightened his grip, causing Mingyao to purse her lips in pain.
"I won't lie to you."
