“Zhang Baiqing is my mother’s most prized apprentice. He would come to my house during holidays.”
Wang Zhouheng and Ming Yao were stunned. Jiang Rongrong blinked and asked, "Why are you so surprised?"
"Don't you know my mother is a doctor?"
Both of them shook their heads in unison. Mingyao had lived two lifetimes and had absolutely no idea who Jiang Rongrong's mother was!
Wang Zhouheng seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "Isn't your mother Professor Tang Tang from Haidu Medical College?"
Professor Tang Tang...
Mingyao's heart tightened suddenly.
In her past life, when Ming Suqin was on the verge of death, she cried and begged the doctor to save her life.
The attending physician, seeing her pitiful state, told her that Tang Tang could save Ming Suqin.
Unfortunately, Tang Tang has retired from the medical field, and her apprentice Zhang Baiqing is not an expert in treating Ming Suqin's illness.
Mingyao could only watch helplessly as Ming Suqin breathed her last, filled with grief and regret.
Having been given a second chance at life, she actually had the opportunity to meet Tang Tang.
Does that mean there is hope for Ming Suqin's illness?
"Yes."
Jiang Rongrong said regretfully, "If it weren't for my grandmother's strong insistence, my mother wouldn't have left the medical field to become a cook."
"I'll take this opportunity to let you meet my mother."
Mingyao was overjoyed and determined to seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with Professor Tang Tang!
Mingyao returned to the Pei family mansion at seven o'clock in the evening.
The house was pitch black, and I couldn't hear a sound for ages.
Looking at the pitch-black living room, Mingyao tentatively called out, "Aunt Wu?"
No one responded.
Using the light from her phone's flashlight, Mingyao fumbled for the switch.
The living room instantly brightened, and Mingyao belatedly noticed Pei Siyu sitting on the sofa.
"I just called out to Aunt Wu, why didn't you respond?"
Mingyao's heart pounded with fear. She patted her chest lightly, half-jokingly and half-angrily, and said, "You scared me to death."
Pei Siyu's deep, sharp gaze lingered on Mingyao's face.
"I'm waiting for you to come back."
His tone was inscrutable, devoid of any emotion.
Where did you go?
Mingyao said guiltily, "I went to see a friend."
"I also took care of some other things."
She sat obediently next to Pei Siyu, carefully studying his cold and stern face. "Honey~ Where's Aunt Wu?"
"What did you go to take care of?"
He stared at Mingyao, completely ignoring her question.
Mingyao choked up and stammered, "It's the driver who saved me before."
“His daughter has DMD, a rare disease, and I want to help him in any way I can.”
"So I went to see Dr. Wang."
She took Pei Siyu's hand and asked cautiously, "Honey, you're not angry, are you?"
Pei Siyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and she nervously avoided Pei Siyu's dark, unfathomable eyes.
Why didn't you tell me?
"Hmm... I just found out too, and you're busy with work."
"I'm resting at home all day, how could I possibly trouble you?"
The next second, Mingyao was enveloped in heat. The man hugged her tightly and asked with some displeasure, "We're husband and wife, how is your matter troublesome?"
Mingyao's hand, which had been hovering in mid-air, slowly landed on Pei Siyu's back. "You're usually so busy that you're rarely seen. I don't want you to be distracted by my affairs."
Pei Siyu held her tightly, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.
Feeling suffocated, Mingyao whispered, "Relax a little."
The man exerted even more force, almost as if he wanted to meld her into his very being.
"Su Xueya, you don't need to consider me."
An emotional voice rang in my ears, a magnetic voice tinged with a hint of sadness: "And don't hide everything from me."
Mingyao felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
There were some things she didn't intentionally hide, but rather things she couldn't bring herself to say.
She leaned on Pei Siyu's shoulder and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I will remember."
Pei Siyu buried his face in the crook of her neck and added, "No matter what, I will stand by your side whenever you need me."
Mingyao chuckled and patted his back gently, as if coaxing a child.
Even the decisive and all-powerful Pei Siyu has his moments of temper.
In my memory, Pei Siyu was as cold and aloof as a mountain, someone who had everything under control.
No longer an unattainable existence, but a person whose heart is fragile, wrapped in coldness and thorns.
Mingyao nestled in his arms, greedily wishing that time could stand still at this moment.
But what right does someone who uses lies to disguise himself have to covet his sincerity?
Mingyao felt even more guilty.
Without lies and scheming, she probably would never have stood by Pei Siyu's side.
“Aunt Wu has taken leave due to an emergency, and I have also approved two days of leave for the other nannies.”
Pei Siyu suddenly said something and started touching him all over.
"It's just the two of us at home today."
His voice was incredibly seductive, and his light, soft breaths swept across his neck.
Pei Siyu's lips lightly covered the most sensitive spot on her neck, sending a tingling, electric sensation through her entire body.
Mingyao gasped softly, instinctively resisting against his chest, "No..."
Pei Siyu raised his eyes, his gaze dark and filled with lust.
He didn't take any further action, and asked hoarsely, "Why?"
"because……"
Mingyao dared not explain the reason.
The fetus is unstable in the early stages of pregnancy, and given Pei Siyu's predatory nature, she might miscarry.
She looked at Pei Siyu with a sweet smile, her eyes full of allure: "Because this is the living room."
