Chapter 729: A Question I Don't Dare to Ask
When the ringtone rang, Qiao Xihe's face was very flat, as if it was a very ordinary phone call.
Soon, the phone was picked up, and Eric's indifferent voice sounded in the receiver, "Pei Tingyuan, what's the matter?"
Qiao Xihe was stunned for a moment, in the past, Eric was a sunny and gentle person in her impression, but now this cold tone made her think that she had made the wrong call.
"......" She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Eric, it's me, Xihe." ”
This time it was Erik's turn to be stunned, and said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, I thought it was Pei Tingyuan." ”
His tone suddenly returned to the gentleness and brightness of the past, which made people can't help but feel kind.
Qiao Xihe thought to himself that maybe Eric still had a misunderstanding about Pei Tingyuan, so his tone was so bad, right?
One was her husband and the other was her friend, and she didn't want them to be like fire.
She said, "Eric, I have good news for you...... My husband and I, Pei Tingyuan, the misunderstanding between me and him has been resolved, and we have already talked about it, so I went home with Pei Tingyuan, thank you for taking care of you during this time, I will invite you to dinner if I am free another day?"
Eric said, "Xihe, have you really figured it out?"
Qiao Xihe said in a very certain tone: "Yes, I figured it out." ”
Eric almost crushed his phone.
The woman's voice is soft and elegant, but the firmness that reveals it is unmistakable.
She still believes in Pei Tingyuan so much......
Pei Tingyuan must have told Qiao Xihe about Qiao Minglei.
What will Qiao Xihe's thoughts be?
Could it be that he was cheating on her?
He laughed lowly, making Qiao Xihe on the other end of the phone sound a little creepy, "Eric, you ......"
"If you reconcile, then I will be relieved. Eric's voice quickly returned to normal, "You can rest first......" He paused, not asking about Qiao Minglei, probably out of avoidance.
"Eric!" Qiao Xihe suddenly stopped him.
Eric's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?" If you keep calling me like this, it will make Pei Tingyuan jealous." ”
Qiao Xihe laughed, "No, he's right next to me." ”
"That's right. Eric said, "I still won't disturb the two of you." I still have something to do here, can we get back to it?"
Qiao Xihe said: "Okay, goodbye." ”
"Well, goodbye. After Ike finished speaking, he hung up the phone decisively.
Qiao Xihe looked at his phone, "Oops...... There's one more thing I forgot to ask Eric. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Pei Tingyuan.
"Uh......" Qiao Xihe thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's a little thing, it's the same next time I ask." ”
Seeing her say this, Pei Tingyuan didn't ask any further, his fingers played with her long curly hair, and said, "Are you sleepy?"
Qiao Xihe shook his head, "I'm not sleepy yet." ”
Pei Tingyuan said: "Then I'm going to pester you, don't get bored of asking questions." ”
"Okay. Qiao Xihe nodded happily, I haven't seen each other for so long, and there are things to communicate with each other.
Pei Tingyuan kissed her forehead and asked, "When is the next prenatal checkup?"
Qiao Xihe thought for a while, "Next Wednesday." ”
"Okay. Pei Tingyuan opened his mobile phone, recorded the incident in a memo, and set a reminder, "I will pick you up and go to the prenatal checkup together." He put down his mobile phone, put his hand on Qiao Xihe's belly, and sighed: "The children are so old, but it is the first time to accompany you to the prenatal checkup......
"It's not too late. Qiao Xihe comforted softly, "Because we will always be together in the future?"
"Yes, yes. Pei Tingyuan kissed her forehead again.
Qiao Xihe snuggled peacefully in his arms.
Pei Tingyuan said: "Last time you went to the police station to testify for me, thank you for your hard work." ”
Qiao Xihe said: "It should be...... After all, our relationship, from the beginning to the present, has changed a lot. ”
Pei Tingyuan grabbed her hand and rubbed it carefully.
"That'...... How is the Lu family doing now?" Qiao Xihe couldn't help but ask.
Pei Tingyuan shrugged his shoulders, "If you do a lot of evil, you will be punished accordingly." ”
Qiao Xihe sighed faintly, thinking that when her father was imprisoned, it was the Lu family who took her over and raised her with Lu Yang, although Lu Tianren and his wife did not put any effort into her, nor did they have any feelings, but ...... In the end, there was a nurturing grace, but later, everything changed for the better.
Pei Tingyuan hugged her tighter, people's hearts are not made of steel, they are flesh and blood, and they have feelings in terms of emotion, not to mention a sensitive and delicate woman like Qiao Xihe?
He said: "Everyone's life has its own choices, or those from external influences, that lead to different endings, which may be called fate. And Taoism has a saying, karma. ”
Qiao Xihe pursed his lips and laughed, "You have studied quite a lot." ”
"Of course I'm going to do my best to make you feel at ease and happy?" Pei Tingyuan said with a smile.
Qiao Xihe rubbed in his arms, "What about you, how are you doing this time?" how do you feel...... You look like you're tired, don't you? There are so many things to worry about......"
Pei Tingyuan said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao cares about me, which gives me the greatest strength and makes me a hundred times more energetic." ”
"How can I be so magical?" Qiao Xihe smiled and slapped his chest.
Pei Tingyuan held her hand, kissed the back of her hand, and then said, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
"Hmm......" Qiao Xihe nodded, and after a while, he couldn't help but yawn.
"Sleepy?" Pei Tingyuan asked, "Let's go upstairs to take a shower and sleep." ”
"Well, it's a good ......" Qiao Xihe rubbed his eyes.
Pei Tingyuan looked at her, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and then he took Qiao Xihe's hand and led her upstairs slowly.
"I wondered if I should change to a villa with an elevator so you don't have to have to climb the stairs. ”
Qiao Xihe scolded with a smile: "Am I such a lazy person, how can I climb a few stairs......?
Pei Tingyuan carefully supported her.
Qiao Xihe continued: "What's more, I really like it here. ”
Pei Tingyuan was naturally obedient to her, "Okay, if you like it here, we will live here forever, and I will always accompany you......"
As they spoke, they came to the door of the master bedroom.
Qiao Xihe raised his hand to caress the door and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns, I feel like I haven't been back for several years, and I don't know if it will change because I haven't held back for a long time?"
"I keep asking someone to clean up. Pei Ting said from afar, "It's exactly the same as when we left." ”
Qiao Xihe laughed, reached out to hold the doorknob, opened the door, and sure enough, everything in his eyes was the same as before, without the slightest change, there was not even dust on the floor and desktop, and the window glass clearly reflected her and Pei Tingyuan's voices.
If anything, it's different......
Her gaze was locked on the wall above the head of the bed.
