Neither of them spoke much along the way, but Yan Xu was probably not very comfortable, and after looking sideways at the scenery outside for a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Li Peiyuan didn't know if she was asleep, so she turned off the radio in the car. When he arrived at the service area, he parked the car, and was going to take something to cover Yan Xu. Who knew that she had just stopped the car and opened her eyes.

Li Peiyuan's movements paused, and he said in a low voice: "Go to sleep in the back, and be more spacious in the back." ”

Yan Xu wanted to say no, but it was quite embarrassing for the two of them to sit like that. I nodded, got out of the car and sat in the back.

For the rest of the trip, the inside of the car was also dull. The car only stopped once on the way, and the two had lunch in the service area, and Li Peiyuan rested for a while before continuing to drive.

Although I didn't have much rest all the way, there was a car accident on the highway when I was about to reach Yucheng, and three cars collided in succession, and there was a traffic jam on the road.

Several roads were blocked, and the long convoy could not move. Due to occupational diseases, when he learned that there was a car accident in front of him, Li Peiyuan asked Yan Xu if he could drive, and asked her to change to the driver's seat in front of her and then ran to the front to help.

In all this time he had passed, the car had not moved. It took him half an hour to come back.

When Yan Xu saw him come back, he got out of the car and changed to the back.

Li Peiyuan's face couldn't see anything, and when he got into the car, he said without waiting for Xu Xu to ask: "The injured have been sent to the hospital, and the traffic police are now clearing the road, and they can leave in a while." ”

Yan Xu nodded.

As Li Peiyuan said, in less than half an hour, the convoy in front of it slowly moved. It's moving very slowly, but it's hard to move.

When the car passed by the place where the accident occurred, Yan Xu looked out, only to find that the car in the middle was about to be scrapped. A large pool of bright red blood on the ground was shocking.

She quickly retracted her gaze, Li Peiyuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said in a low voice: "There is only one driver in the car, and there is no danger to life after rescue." ”

Yan Xu hummed lowly.

With this delay, it was already dark when I arrived at Yucheng and got off the highway. When the car left the toll booth, Li Peiyuan looked at Yan Xu behind him and asked, "Do you live in the company dormitory?"

Yan Xu was in a daze just now, but now he came back to his senses and answered yes. Immediately said: "Excuse me, when you get to the city, you can just find a place to let me go." ”

Her tone was polite and detached.

Li Peiyuan didn't speak, and he didn't let her get out of the car when he went to the city, but drove the car directly to the downstairs of her company's apartment building.

Yan Xu whispered thank you, and this time he quickly got out of the car and took the luggage out of the trunk.

Li Peiyuan had something to say, and he was going to send her upstairs. But before he could speak, she said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Li." I went up first. ”

She said that she didn't wait for Li Peiyuan to speak, and walked into the apartment quickly with her luggage. It wasn't until she entered the elevator and watched the elevator doors close that she gently leaned against the elevator wall. Motionless, he just looked at the lights on the top of the elevator.

Li Peiyuan didn't leave, and stood outside for a long time, then sat in the car, took out a cigarette and smoked it. I don't know how long it took for him to start the car and go back to his residence at the school.

Cheng Wei's people have been paying attention, and the day after Li Peiyuan returned to Yucheng, Cheng Wei got the news.

After calling Zhou He at noon, he booked a plane ticket and flew back to Yucheng in the afternoon.

Zhou He was sleeping on the plane, but he didn't feel that time was difficult.

Knowing that she wanted to see Li Peiyuan as soon as possible, Cheng Wei didn't take her back to the house after getting off the plane. Instead, he asked the driver directly to go to the residence of Li Peiyuan's school.

At this time, it was already dinner, but Cheng Wei was very considerate, and did not follow Zhou He upstairs after sending him upstairs. Instead, he said, "Go in, and I'll not go." I'm going to see what's good to eat in the neighborhood and pack it for you. ”

At this time, it was already meals, and Zhou He, a pregnant woman, was not hungry. He also knew that Zhou He must have a lot of people who wanted to ask Li Peiyuan, and it was not appropriate for him to be there.

His tone was very gentle.

Zhou He naturally knew that he wanted to let himself talk to Li Peiyuan alone, so he reached out and hugged Cheng Wei's waist. Face rubbing against his chest.

Cheng Wei smiled and said, "What's wrong with our little Ahe?

Zhou He didn't speak, but still buried his head in his chest.

Cheng Wei let her hold her, and after so many minutes, he reached out and patted her head, and said softly: "Good, go go to rest and rest first, I'll go buy food, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Zhou He hummed, and then let go of him.

Cheng Wei helped her press the doorbell, and after saying goodbye to her, he walked to the elevator.

When Li Peiyuan came out, Cheng Wei had already entered the elevator, and when he saw Zhou He, who had a big belly outside the door, his brows immediately wrinkled.

Zhou He didn't wait for him to speak, so he smiled and called out to his little uncle.

Li Peiyuan's displeasure was on his face, and while carefully letting her into the house, he asked, "Why did Cheng Wei let you come alone?"

"He also came, and after sending me up, he went shopping. ”

Zhou He replied and was about to bend over to change his shoes, but Li Peiyuan didn't let him go, and said, "You don't need to change, just come in." ”

The house has barely changed, it's still the same. Simple, clean and tidy.

He still has the slippers she used to wear when she came over, and she hasn't lost them for so many years. Zhou He said that it was okay, helped the entrance to change his shoes, and then walked inside.

Li Peiyuan stood aside when she changed her shoes, waiting for her to change before walking in with her. I didn't ask her if she drank tea or coffee, and poured her a glass of warm water.

He was alone at home ordering takeout, and there was no fruit or anything else to eat at home. After placing the water in front of Zhou He, he sat down, looked at the time, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Zhou He picked up the cup and didn't go to drink water immediately. looked up at Li Peiyuan, didn't make any circles, and said, "I went to the old house a few days ago. Uncle Fan was gone, and a new aunt passed there, and the aunt said that she had been arranged to tidy up the house, and the eldest uncle would move over after a while. ”

When she said this, her eyes were motionless, just staring at Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan's face was calm, but he did not speak. After a while, he said lightly: "I am rarely over there, and after discussing it, I will let them move in and take care of the house by the way." ”

This statement is similar to what Li Ying said.

He didn't know what he remembered, he paused slightly, his eyes fell on Zhou He's body, and he frowned and asked, "Just came here for such a little thing?"

She has such a big belly, and she is tired from running around.

He clearly didn't want to continue on the topic.

Zhou He didn't accept this statement, was silent for a while, and said, "I heard that you took a leave of absence for a while. Uncle, is there something wrong with you?"

Her gaze was staring straight at him.

Li Peiyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said with some helplessness: "How can I be cranky, what can I do?"

Zhou He fell silent, and said in a low voice after a while: "I don't believe it." After a slight pause, she continued: "Over there in the old mansion, my grandmother's will is left to you. ”

If nothing happened, how could her eldest uncle's family move over? This clearly just doesn't want to go on.

Li Peiyuan didn't speak for a while, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Ahe, I never thought of entering politics. ”

Zhou He didn't know what this matter had to do with politics, but he didn't interrupt him and waited for him to continue.

Li Peiyuan's handsome face showed some tiredness, paused slightly, and said, "Some time ago, I was planning to go abroad. That's why after discussion, let your uncle's family move to the old house. His tone was very serious, he paused, and then said: "Your grandmother left me a lot of things, I am alone, and it is more appropriate for your uncle to live there over there in the old mansion." ”

Compared with the previous maintenance of the old house, this reason is obviously more reasonable.

Zhou He nodded. Remembering what he just said about going abroad, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to resign?"

Sooner or later, she will know these things. Li Peiyuan nodded and said, "The application has been submitted, and it has not been approved yet." ”

That's why he had such a long rest.

His ability is obvious to all, and it is undoubtedly a pity that he resigns in his current position. But this job, no matter how well it is done, is not what he wants, it is just a burden.

Zhou Ji didn't say anything to persuade him, but he hummed and asked again, "Then where are you going to go?"

Li Peiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

With his character, before making a decision, it must have been arranged. It's impossible not to think it through. But he didn't want to say, and Zhou He didn't ask anything.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that during that time, several cousins had joined the company one after another.

She couldn't figure it out then, but now she does. Now in the Li family, her eldest uncle is not as good as in the past, and now she is supported by her younger uncle. And he wants to go abroad at this juncture. After he left, there was no one in the Li family, and it was no wonder that her eldest uncle would make the decision to let a few juniors go on an official career.

He obviously made this decision a long time ago. And when he did it, he had already notified everyone in the Li family. Perhaps, the conflict with Li Ying in the ward was because of this.

He made such a decision, and her eldest uncle probably didn't know how much he lost his temper behind his back.

Then, everything during this period of time makes sense.

Zhou He was a little distracted, but he still didn't understand, why didn't Li Ying tell her about this?

Zhou He's heart still had doubts.

The light in the room was very soft and quiet, Li Peiyuan raised his wrist to look at the time, then looked at Zhou He, and said, "So don't think nonsense in the future, you know?"

There was some helplessness in his tone.

Zhou He touched his nose and didn't say anything.

It was already meal, Li Peiyuan was going to take her out to eat, and just as he was about to get up, the doorbell rang. He knew that it was Cheng Wei who came, so he got up and went to open the door.

Cheng Wei outside was carrying a food box, followed by two waiters, each carrying two wooden food boxes.

Li Peiyuan was not surprised that he would bring food over, and after a brief greeting, he stepped aside.

The meals brought by Cheng Wei this time were not all light, a spicy dry pot crayfish as the main dish, and it exuded an attractive fragrance when opened. Zhou He's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

The remaining dishes are paired with meat and vegetarian soup and cold dishes, and they all look appetizing.

He actually prepared wine, and after sitting down and starting, he peeled the crayfish for Zhou He, and drank wine with Li Peiyuan.

Cheng Wei was quite thoughtful, and gave Zhou He freshly squeezed juice. Because the weather was still a little cold, he gave her a drink after heating it up.

This meal was unusually peaceful, and in the end, except for Zhou He, a pregnant woman, who was still awake, Cheng Wei and Li Peiyuan drank a little too much.

In the end, Zhou He had to call the driver and ask the driver to come and pick him up.

It was already past ten o'clock when the two returned to the house, and Cheng Wei's former aunt had been staying here. Seeing that Cheng Wei was drunk, he hurriedly went to cook the sobering soup.

Cheng Wei asked her not to be busy, saying that he was not drunk. Let the aunt go to rest, and stick to Zhou and go upstairs.

There was a smell of alcohol on his body, but he was very conscious, and after going upstairs, he went to the bathroom to wash. The smell of alcohol dissipated a lot, and then I went back to the bedroom.

Zhou He had already washed up and changed into pajamas in the bathroom of the room, and she was now wearing the pajamas before with a big belly, and the buttons on her head were not fastened, revealing a large area of snow white......

Cheng Wei was already a little drunk, and he hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Where can I withstand this scenery, the Adam's apple shook slightly, and when he arrived at the bedside, he called out in a low voice.

Zhou He noticed the difference in his voice, and as soon as he looked up at him, his handsome face was approaching, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were shining.

Because he was cautious, seeing that he was uncomfortable, Zhou He took the initiative a lot just now. Cheng Wei smiled low and called Xiao Ahe low and gently.

Zhou He's face was hot, and he regretted his initiative just now. I just want to plug his mouth.

The weather in Yucheng is much better than in Kyoto, and they have already come, and the two are not in a hurry to go back. Knowing that Zhou He had become greedy during this time, Cheng Wei secretly took her to a small restaurant outside to satisfy her hunger.

During this period, Li Pei went to the old mansion to see Zhou He once. I don't know where to get sour plums in this weather, and I look so sore that I have a toothache, but Zhou He ate it in one go. It was the aunt who stopped saying that the plums were cold and that eating too much would make her stomach uncomfortable, so she stopped.

At the end of the month, Cheng Wei and Zhou He returned to Kyoto. Li Peiyuan was still on vacation, and Zhou He called him to ask if he wanted to go back to Kyoto. He was silent on the other side of the phone for a while, saying that he still had some things to deal with at hand, and he would not go back for the time being.

Zhou He didn't think much about it, and asked him to call when he came back. Then I hung up the phone.

After returning to Kyoto, the weather gradually warmed up, and Zhouhe's stomach bulged like a balloon. The hands and feet are even more swollen, and it makes people feel shocked when they look at it.

When I went to the prenatal checkup, the fetal doctor told me that the fetus was a little bigger, and it turned out that she was worried that she would not be able to eat. Started letting the aunt control her diet.

Although it was not enough to make her hungry, the dessert after the meal was gone. In the late stage of pregnancy, Zhou He began to have a special sweet craving, and he was often itchy.

Hearing that the fetus was too big and she might suffer, Cheng Wei's position was resolutely consistent with Li Ying, no matter how coquettish she was, he would resolutely not give sweets.

In the past, I was afraid that Zhou He would be tired, but after hearing that more exercise would help production, I would often get up early every morning, take Zhou He out for a walk, and then go to work after breakfast.

It's the same at night, as long as the weather is good, they will come back early. After dinner, I took her for a walk in the yard, or led her out to press the road.

Probably because of the emotional instability during pregnancy, Zhou He, who had never been fragile, became fragile. There are always some inexplicable nonsense thoughts in my head.

Cheng Wei was not a little impatient, and coaxed her like a child.

In the end, I was afraid that she would stay at home alone and think wildly, so I simply took her to work. Worried that the ground was too slippery, she would slip, so she simply laid out a non-slip mat with the whole company.

By the time he was eight months old, Zhou He's belly was so big that Cheng Wei was scared. I often wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, and when I see that she is sleeping with steady breathing, I put my mind at ease and continues to sleep.

He was worried all day long, and even found a doctor in advance to stay at home, so that he could preach 24 hours a day.

For his fuss, Zhou He was helpless. But only then can he rest assured that she will let him too.

Cheng Wei looked at her stomach and trembled, but she didn't feel it herself. Aside from the fact that she had some difficulty walking and didn't sleep well, she didn't feel any different than before.

Neither had any experience, although there was a doctor who stayed at home. Li Ying is still not at ease, as long as she is fine, she stays in the Xie family's old mansion most of the time.

Although the child has not yet come out, she has already prepared small clothes, feeding bottles and other things. Because she didn't know if it would be a boy or a girl, she simply prepared one for each. Just in case the time comes to buy unsatisfactory.

When Zhou He was only a month away from her due date, her great-uncle Li Ruifeng fell ill. Cerebral hemorrhage and collapsed in the office. Fortunately, the secretary found it early and was sent to the hospital and rescued after being notified of his critical illness twice.

Although people have been rescued, they will inevitably leave sequelae. Doctors recommend resting. In other words, his career is coming to an end here.

The Li family is gloomy, and when Zhou He went to the hospital to visit the hospital accompanied by Cheng Wei, the smiles on the faces of both her eldest aunt and cousin Li Tian were forced.

Although her eldest uncle was awake, he could not speak for the time being. The whole person was much older, and his head was full of gray hair. He was in poor spirits, and he fell asleep not long after waking up.

Zhou He couldn't find anything to comfort him, so he planned to sit down for a while and leave. But before she left, her eldest aunt stopped her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ahe, I want to talk to you." ”

Zhou Ji didn't know what she was going to say to her, thinking that it was her uncle's illness that needed Cheng Wei's help. Just as she was about to nod her head, Cheng Wei, who was greeting her cousin over there, came over.

Her eldest aunt swallowed what she was about to say back into her stomach, and squeezed out a smile to greet Cheng Wei.

In the end, until she was about to leave, Cheng Wei never left her side. What her aunt wanted to talk to her couldn't say.

On the way, Zhou He brought up the matter. Cheng Wei told her not to worry, he would make people pay attention to the hospital.

She was relieved.

originally thought that this matter would be over here, but who knew that after Cheng Wei went to work the next day, Li Tian suddenly called her and asked her to go out to meet.

Although Zhou He was surprised that she made an appointment, he immediately agreed. Asked her where she was.

Li Tian came prepared, and the place of the covenant was nearby. Zhou He knew that if she told her aunt, her aunt would definitely call Cheng Wei, so she didn't tell her, and went out while she was in the kitchen.

It was difficult for her to walk with a big belly, and when she got outside, she stopped the car.

Li Tian had already arrived when she arrived, and she was sitting on the side of the café waiting for her. Zhou He entered the café and she stood up.

Zhou He walked over, she called the waiter to serve dessert and asked for a glass of boiled water, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry Ahe, I'm still asking you out." ”

Zhou He smiled and said that it was okay. Then she asked about her uncle.

Li Tian was worried, and said in a low voice: "The doctor said that if you recuperate well, you can recover eighty percent." But ......," she said with a wry smile, "but he has a lot to worry about, and he has always been depressed. ”

Li Tian changed his words and said, "Ahe, I came to you today for this matter. ”

There was a look of guilt on her face.

Zhou He's impression of her has always been good, and he also remembers how she took care of herself. Said seriously: "Cousin, don't be polite, I will help if I can." ”

The apology on Li Tian's face deepened, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Ahe, I came here to ask you to help persuade the little uncle." ”

She smiled bitterly when she said this, and said, "Actually, I know that this matter should not come to you. But we really don't have any other way now. Although I got married, I can't just watch my family fall like that. ”

There was deep tiredness in her tone, and after a slight pause, she continued: "You should be clear about the current situation in the family, my father is down now, and the Li family is finished." Now, the only one who can support the family is the little uncle. ”

And Zhou He is the only person in this family who is close to Li Peiyuan.

Li Tian said cautiously later, looking at Zhou He with anticipation.
