The warm and peaceful atmosphere of the reunion was broken by a sudden groan.
Hearing the sound from her arms, Min Yueqing remembered that she was still holding Xiao Wei. She quickly moved aside to give Xiao Wei some room to move.
Pei Ji was also distracted by the groan. He stopped crying and looked up, only to find that his tears had soaked his father's neck and clothes. He felt a little embarrassed and buried his head in Pei Han's broad shoulders.
Pei Han noticed his movement and asked with a smile, "Stop crying?"
Pei Ji was too embarrassed to speak, so he just rubbed his forehead against Pei Han's shoulder twice.
A smile flickered across Pei Han's deep eyes as he turned to look at Min Yueqing. Perhaps it was because they had been apart for a while, but he felt that his wife's demeanor seemed to have changed somewhat.
Before, when she stood there, she exuded a refined and tranquil air of scholarly elegance. Now, she has gained a touch of freedom and composure, and her eyes have become more serene. Her whole being is like jade, with a lustrous exterior and a delicate yet resilient interior.
Pei Han knew that his wife's change must be closely related to their separation over the past year, and he said in a low voice with a sense of guilt, "Madam, you've had a tough time these past two years. I'm so happy to see that you and Lele are both well."
Min Yueqing was caught off guard when she heard Pei Han's deep and pleasant voice up close. She immediately felt that she was doomed, and her ears were about to be conquered. Not only was his voice so beautiful, but it was also so gentle and sincere. Who could resist that?
Before the apocalypse, Min Yueqing was obsessed with Go and studying, and spent all her spare time raising her furry friend in the cloud. She was completely oblivious to matters of the heart.
After the apocalypse arrived, she was busy adapting to her awakened superpowers and focused on becoming stronger. After all, the apocalypse still valued the strong, and relying on others for survival did not suit her personality.
In such a harsh living environment, she had no interest in dealing with other people's advances. What meaning did these advances, attracted by her appearance, have for her?
Just when she was finally able to face life in the apocalypse with relative ease, fate intervened again, and she found herself here when she opened her eyes.
Therefore, although Min Yueqing has lived for more than 20 years, she is still a complete virgin.
Unable to resist Pei Han's gentle advances, she had no choice but to change the subject, "I heard from A Mo that you haven't taken good care of yourself. Ever since you got sick when you first arrived, you've been coughing a lot, haven't you?"
Pei Han was surprised that A Mo had even mentioned this, and a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He reluctantly replied, "A Mo is exaggerating a bit. I just had a cough at the beginning, but I'm much better now."
Min Yueqing couldn't help but glare at Pei Han, as if to say, "Keep making things up, I'm listening to you make things up."
Pei Han silently glanced around, then began to change the subject, "Madam, who is this child?"
Min Yueqing knew he was changing the subject, but she didn't intend to press him further. She had already done a preliminary assessment of Pei Han's health after their brief contact and had a general idea of his condition. So, she graciously gave him a way out, replying, "A little friend Lele knows, now my apprentice."
Upon hearing Min Yueqing's introduction, Shi Tou immediately showed a proud little expression. Pei Han calmly greeted him, "Hello, sir, my name is Shi Tou."
Shi Tou addressed Min Yueqing in various ways. When he first arrived at the manor, he called Min Yueqing his benefactor. After they became more familiar, he called her Madam Min Yueqing. Later, when he wanted to learn martial arts from Min Yueqing, he would secretly call her Master when no one was around.
Once Min Yueqing formally taught him martial arts and left the capital, he called Min Yueqing "Master" most frequently, only addressing her as "Madam" when there were many people around.
In comparison, his way of addressing Pei Ji was more consistent; sometimes he called him "Young Master," and sometimes he called him "Little Young Master."
Now that he'd met Pei Han, Shi Tou didn't hesitate and immediately joined A Mo and the others in calling him "Master," since he couldn't follow A Mei's example and call him "Son-in-law." Even A Mei and A Zhu called him "Master" in front of Pei Han, only using the term "Son-in-law" when talking to Min Yueqing or people from the Min family.
Seeing that Shi Tou was poised and generous, Pei Han secretly nodded in approval, thinking that his wife's apprentice had a good character and was also simple-minded.
Pei Han was an open-minded person who never adhered to worldly etiquette. He didn't find anything wrong with his wife suddenly taking a strange child as her apprentice.
However, the little guy in Min Yueqing's arms whimpered twice, attracting Pei Han's attention, but unfortunately the little guy kept his back to him.
Pei Han looked at the fluffy creature in Min Yueqing's arms and asked with interest, "I haven't congratulated Madam on her new pet yet. May I ask what the little guy's name is?"
Pei Ji had calmed down by now, and upon hearing Pei Han's question, he immediately answered enthusiastically, "Its name is Xiao Wei, Daddy, it's a little tiger!"
Even Pei Han, who was usually quite composed, was taken aback and asked incredulously, "Are people actually selling tiger cubs now?"
However, in just over a year, less than two years, the pet industry in the capital has quietly developed to such an extent that they even dare to sell tigers.
Pei Ji couldn't help but chuckle, and even Min Yueqing couldn't help but laugh. She explained, "We found Xiao Wei on our way here. We met him by chance on a mountain not far from here just a few days ago."
Pei Ji added, "Xiao Wei can't find his mother. He's lying all alone in the grass. He's very pitiful."
Pei Han then understood the whole story.
He looked at Pei Ji's nervous little face and couldn't help but laugh. His son was afraid that he wouldn't agree. Pei Han had been absent from his young son's life for more than a year and wanted to make up for it in every way possible. Let alone raising a tiger cub, he wouldn't object even if his son wanted to tear down the whole yard right now.
Pei Han looked at his wife and children with great understanding and said, "Then this little tiger will be the newest member of our family. Its name is Xiao Wei, right? What a fitting name!"
These words immediately won Pei Ji's enthusiastic agreement, "Yes, this name was chosen by Mother! Because we all hope that Xiao Wei will grow up to be tall and strong, and become the king of beasts!"
Looking at Pei Ji's proud little face, anyone who didn't know better would think he was going to be the king of beasts when he grew up.
Pei Han and Min Yueqing both pursed their lips, their eyes narrowing slightly as they suppressed a laugh. They glanced at each other instinctively, and seeing the identical expression on each other's faces, their smiles widened.
Perhaps infected by the cheerful atmosphere, Xiao Wei, who had been burying his head in Min Yueqing's arms, suddenly turned his head and looked at the opposite side with a pair of bright black-gold eyes.
Pei Han and Pei Ji immediately noticed Xiao Wei's movements and turned to look at it.
