The celebratory banquet was a great success, with everyone enjoying themselves.
Lin Aiguo doted on Pei Ying, wishing she could make up for all the years Pei Ying had lost.
Since they recognized each other, she has made sure to bring Pei Ying a gift every time she goes on a business trip, no matter how busy she is.
In the words of Yin Ning and Yin Yu, Ms. Lin only had eyes for Yin Hua in the first half of her life, and now that she has added Pei Ying, she only has these two siblings.
Aside from Yin Hua and Pei Ying, children don't hold much importance in her heart.
Xia Wenhua was willing to treat Pei Ying well. In Lin Aiguo's eyes, Xia Wenhua was like his own daughter. He thanked Xia Wenhua more than once for being so thoughtful, and she even said it at the end.
Even someone as enthusiastic as Xia Wenhua felt a little embarrassed by what she was being said.
"Aunt, if you say that again, I'll really be ashamed."
Mother has worked so hard her whole life, and now that her son and grandson have grown up, isn't it time for us to be filial to her?
This is all we should do; there's really no need for this.
Xia Wenhua spoke sincerely, and Lin Aiguo's eyes became even more loving.
"Your aunt knows you're a good child. Be good to your mother, and your aunt and uncle will definitely not treat you badly."
She has always been a straightforward person, and at this point, Xia Wenhua naturally couldn't help but express her loyalty again.
The conversation was going on and on. Commander Yin, who was almost at the door, suddenly turned around and waved to Xia Wenhua.
"Xia, come here."
Commander Yin's call caused a brief pause, and then Xia Wenhua and her group came over.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Commander Yin had Xia Wenhua stand with Pei Songbai, and then he bowed deeply to the two of them.
"Thank you, thank you all. Thank you for taking care of my sister for so many years, allowing me to see her again in my lifetime."
Xia Wenhua and Pei Songbai were both startled by Commander Yin's sudden move and quickly dodged.
"Uncle, get up quickly! This won't do!"
Neither Xia Wenhua nor Pei Songbai could accept this gift.
Commander Yin waved his hand: "Don't make a fuss. She is your elder, but she is also my only sister. It's one thing for you to treat her well, but as her older brother, I am truly grateful to you."
Xia Wenhua's thoughtfulness in making such a big fuss for her mother-in-law's first day at work is truly touching.
Lin Aiguo and Yin Hua are both very busy people and usually don't have the chance to rest at home. Today, they took leave to come after hearing that Xia Wenhua was going to celebrate Pei Ying's birthday.
Commander Yin and Lin Aiguo were genuinely kind to Pei Ying; they all shared the same goal, and the banquet ended perfectly.
After the meal, the Yin sisters had already cleaned up the dishes. Pei Songbai talked outside for a while, and then Pei Ying urged the two of them to go back to their room.
"I heard from your uncle that you're leaving tomorrow, so don't stay here. You two should go back inside and talk."
"After you left, Wenhua took care of everything at home, inside and out. She's the one who really suffered. What's there to say to us?"
Pei Ying's words, though forceful, were ultimately well-intentioned.
The young couple hadn't seen each other for so long, so naturally they had a lot to say to each other.
Pei Ying and her child gave them some space, and Xia Wenhua and Pei Songbai didn't stand on ceremony with her.
Back in their room, with the door closed, the only world they knew was each other, and Pei Songbai's breathing became heavy.
He recalled Xia Wenhua's embrace at the door just now, and his blood was surging.
"Wife~"
A gentle address brought Xia Wenhua to tears.
People's emotions are always harder to hide in front of people they are more familiar with. The ups and downs of two lifetimes made Xia Wenhua emotional, but she didn't have many memories of Pei Songbai in front of her.
Feeling Pei Songbai's slightly rough hands clumsily wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xia Wenhua grabbed Pei Songbai.
"Songbai, I've never actually interacted with Wang Anran. The scene where you caught me at the village entrance was all fake. Do you believe me?"
Xia Wenhua's expression was one of vulnerability that Pei Songbai had never seen before, and he immediately nodded: "I believe you, I believe you."
After coaxing Xia Wenhua for a long time, and feeling that Xia Wenhua's emotions had stabilized a little, Pei Songbai asked weakly, "Wife, who is Wang Anran?"
It wasn't that Pei Songbai didn't care about Xia Wenhua's affairs; it was just that the scene at the village entrance wasn't a big deal for him.
Xia Wenhua in this life did not awaken, nor did she follow the original plot. Before this, the plot had fabricated countless scandals about Xia Wenhua, and countless people had told Pei Songbai that his wife did not want to live a good life with him.
In Pei Songbai's view, a young girl from a big city inexplicably got involved with him and even had his child. If she didn't want to live that life and wanted a better one, wasn't that her right?
If Xia Wenhua wants a better life, he certainly won't stop her.
He felt incredibly fortunate that such a fairy-like person was willing to live with him. Any past scandals or mistakes never lingered in his mind for more than half a day.
Xia Wenhua was taken aback by his response and gently punched Pei Songbai on the shoulder: "Idiot, never mind if you don't know."
Pei Songbai has always been an upright and honest person. He either knows what he knows or he doesn't know what he doesn't know. If he asks this question, he obviously doesn't remember it.
As long as no unrelated people left a trace in their lives, Xia Wenhua was relieved. But when she thought about it again, she couldn't help but grit her teeth fiercely.
"You'd better forget whether you remember or not. I didn't do anything, and even God can't smear me. Otherwise, I'll definitely tear this sky apart!"
Xia Wenhua spoke in a commanding tone, and Pei Songbai, though confused, still expressed his support.
"Don't worry, honey. No matter what you want to do, I'll always be on your side."
Pei Songbai has already proven this statement with his actions, and Xia Wenhua has no doubt about the truth of his words.
She hugged Pei Songbai tightly and eagerly kissed his lips.
In front of her children, she needs to be an all-powerful mother; in front of Pei Ying, she needs to be a reliable junior; at work, she needs to be an invincible adult.
Only here, and only in front of Pei Songbai, could she truly be herself without restraint.
She and Pei Songbai have proven the meaning of trust over their entire lives; she has no need to pretend.
Pei Songbai felt Xia Wenhua's enthusiasm, and he no longer suppressed the burning passion in his body, letting Xia Wenhua lead him into a wonderful state.
On a late autumn night, the two were locked in a passionate embrace, their bodies burning hot as if they wanted to embed themselves into each other.
Pei Songbai fully embraced Xia Wenhua's passion and reciprocated with even more fervent passion.
As night deepened, and Xia Wenhua fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion, Pei Songbai got up to wash her body and then picked her up again.
"Wife, you are my life."
