Pei Yu put his arm around her waist, his lips curled slightly, "I'm glad that Ah Li likes me."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the girl's pink lips gently, a gentle and lingering kiss, not as passionate as that day, but Chen Li could feel his joy.
The next morning, Pei Yu sent people to deliver a lot of food, including everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and runs on the ground. He even sent 50 kilograms of beef that Chen Li specifically requested.
After Chen Li woke up and saw the fresh beef, she thought that today was New Year's Eve and they would have a reunion dinner in the evening, so they would have hot pot at noon and eat beef.
"Mom, let's have hot pot at noon."
Lin Cuicui also heard that Pei Yu had sent the food. Thinking that he would eat here, she planned to rearrange the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. When she came to the kitchen, she saw her daughter was also there.
"Want to eat pot?"
"Well, Pei Yu sent some beef, and we can eat it in hot pot."
"good."
"A-Li, Zi'an and Dr. Mo are here. Do you want to rearrange dinner for dinner?"
"Mom, there are so many dishes. Just ask the kitchen to make some of their specialties. If you want something, just ask them to add it."
"Okay, Mom got it."
After hearing her say this, Lin Cuicui knew that her daughter was a little unreliable. After taking her away, she pulled the kitchen cook and the housekeeper to start a discussion.
This is the first New Year's Eve dinner that the future son-in-law will eat in his house, so he can't be so careless. Besides, Doctor Mo is here too, so he must not be neglected.
Pei Yu came here after having breakfast in his own residence in the morning. Xie Yunche's injuries were not serious enough for him to move, so he stayed at the Shen family to recuperate. Mo Qing was naturally there too.
Bai Yao also came back last night and is now in Xu Taohua's yard.
Mo Qing finally had a good sleep last night. He was so hungry when he woke up in the morning. He saw a few snacks left on the table, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them before going to look for something to eat.
It’s all Pei Yu’s fault for being so anxious that he didn’t bring the thoughtful Wen Lan over. No, I have to ask someone to bring Wen Lan over later, otherwise I won’t be used to it.
“Miss Shen, wait.”
Mo Qing saw Chen Li passing by the garden and called her.
"Divine Doctor Mo."
Mo Qing waved his hand. "Hey, we're already so familiar with each other. Stop calling me 'miracle doctor' all the time. It's so formal. Just call me Mo Qing."
Chen Li nodded, "What does Dr. Mo want to see me about?"
Mo Qing looked around and realized that this wasn't the right place to talk. Snowflakes were still floating in the sky. He pointed to the corridor nearby and said, "Let's talk over there."
"good."
The two of them found a place sheltered from the wind and sat down. Mo Qing didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
“Miss Shen, to be honest, it was hard for me to imagine what kind of girl Pei Yu would fall in love with.”
"Why?"
His words successfully aroused Chen Li's curiosity.
Mo Qing looked around, as if he was watching to see if Pei Yu would suddenly appear.
"Pei Yu's mother died when he was three years old. His father was busy, so in order to better take care of him, he married his aunt as his concubine. Everything was fine at first, until his aunt became pregnant."
"She gave birth to a younger brother for him, and his life changed drastically from then on. His father, the king, who loved him dearly, never returned, and his aunt said one thing to his face and another behind his back. The little boy suffered a lot."
"What's funny is that after I told his father, he still didn't believe it and thought Pei Yu was just a liar at such a young age."
Chen Li frowned. Although Mo Qing didn't say it explicitly, just based on this, she could already imagine it. In a large and deep mansion, if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather, not to mention that the stepmother also has her own biological children.
Pei Yu is the child of both his eldest sister and his original wife. With the double buff, he is naturally a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh, and the couple can't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Just from Mo Qing's tone, it seemed that he and Pei Yu had known each other since childhood. One of them was a disciple of a genius doctor, and the other was a young master from a noble family. How could they know each other?
"Then how did you and A Yu know each other?" Chen Li wanted to know, so she asked directly.
Mo Qing's lips curled up into a cold smile. "When I was five years old, Pei Yu got lost during the Lantern Festival. When my master and I found him, he was covered in wounds and still had some poison in his body."
poison?
"That's right. The poison in his body was put there by his stepmother. It's a very sinister poison that will hollow out a child's body bit by bit, preventing the child from growing up safely. Perhaps Zi'an himself realized that something was wrong with his body, so he secretly ran away. That's how we met."
Chen Li felt a little distressed about Pei Yu's experience. After Yang Qing passed away, his father not only did not take good care of him, but also married his aunt who was sweet-mouthed and sharp-tongued. It didn't take long for his good days to last, and he was filled with hardships.
No wonder he acted like that when we first met.
"Mo Qing, you called me today, you didn't just tell me this, did you?"
Mo Qing nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, “Miss Shen, you are a smart person, so let’s not beat around the bush.”
"It's not easy for Zi'an to open up to others. I never thought he would fall in love with a woman before."
“Of course I also know that given Miss Shen’s personality, Zi’an must be different from you, otherwise you wouldn’t have any entanglement with him.”
Shen Li nodded, agreeing with what he said, and he was indeed right.
Mo Qing's expression was serious. "Although I don't know what Zi'an promised you, as his friend, I still hope that if one day in the future you two can't be together, I hope you won't hurt him too badly."
A smile appeared on Chen Li's face. It turned out that this was what he wanted to talk about today.
"Don't worry, Doctor Mo. I'm not that kind of person who makes things easy. As long as A Yu can do what he promised me, I won't leave him."
"Besides, don't worry. I've also told you that I have two different feelings towards him. He's so nice, and although I'm not completely devoted to him yet, I'm not the type to abandon someone after having fun with them."
After hearing her say this, Mo Qing finally felt relieved. If Shen Li patted her chest and promised him that she would not leave Pei Yu, he would not believe it.
Things are diverse and easy to change. Who can say for sure what is happening now? What is the point of those empty promises?
“Miss Shen, I am being presumptuous today. Our conversation today…”
"Don't worry, Doctor Mo, we both know what we talked about today."
"Um."
Mo Qing stood up, straightened his robe, turned around and left. He seemed to know why Zi'an fell in love with Miss Chen.
At first, perhaps because of the life-saving grace, he treated the girl differently, which was normal, but later he was completely attracted by Miss Shen's personality.
In other words, they were alike, and perhaps that was the point.
