On the day Qiao Xihe was discharged from the hospital, he saw the news about the kidnapping case in the morning newspaper.

Under the investigation of the police, all the suspects involved in the kidnapping confessed to the facts of the crime, and what awaits them will be the punishment of the law.

There is no mention of whether anyone else was involved in the kidnapping.

This incident, in a few days, as the news gradually decreases, will be completely forgotten by people, as if it never happened.

Sister-in-law Wang packed up her things and said to Qiao Xihe, "Young lady, we can go." ”

"Good. Qiao Xihe gently put down the morning newspaper and walked out of the VIP ward.

As soon as I walked into the hallway, I was greeted by a person.

The tall figure, like a mountain, pressed towards her.

Qiao Xihe took a step back, frowned at the people who were said to have jobs in the past few days and had not appeared in the hospital, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Pei Tingyuan said: "My wife was discharged from the hospital, how could I not come to pick you up?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll meet a reporter outside and say something I shouldn't say?" Qiao Xihe said as he walked to the stairwell, "Don't worry, I won't say anything, after all, your Pei family is like a mountain, how can an ant like me be shaken?"

The words were a little ugly, but Pei Tingyuan was a little more relaxed.

At least, Jojo is sane.

He hurried to catch up and pressed the elevator button first, "I'm just here to pick you up." ”

"Oh. Qiao Xihe replied simply.

When the elevator arrived, she stepped in and stood in the corner.

Pei Tingyuan stood beside her, reaching out to hold her shoulder as the elevator door opened again.

Sure enough, as soon as Qiao Xihe looked up, she was greeted by countless flashing lights.

She knew that Pei Tingyuan was going to act in front of the media again.

She looked at Pei Tingyuan, and the corners of her mouth slid a silent sneer.

And Pei Tingyuan also happened to look at her.

In the eyes of the reporters, the Pei couple seemed to be looking at each other and smiling, and their affection was fully revealed.

After everyone quickly finished taking the photo, they quickly stepped aside, and there was not even a person who asked questions, which was very strange.

Pei Tingyuan put his arm around Qiao Xihe, and in the eyes of everyone, he walked out of the hospital gate unhurriedly, got into the car at the door, and walked away.

Sitting in the car, Qiao Xihe sat almost next to the car door, far away from Pei Ting, and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until the view outside the car window that she caught her attention, "Where is this going?"

Pei Tingyuan said: "Old house, grandpa said that today is the day you are discharged from the hospital, and the family will get together for a meal." Moreover, grandpa's birthday is approaching, and we have to discuss the birthday party. ”

Qiao Xihe sneered, probably because Old Man Pei wanted to test her attitude and meaning, right?

She remained silent.

There is nothing to say to Pei Tingyuan at all, even if there is, it will be a quarrel, why bother to find so much unhappiness for yourself?

Pei Tingyuan seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but the corner of his eye glanced at Qiao Xihe from time to time.

The doctor's advice is still in his ears, and he will not forget it.

He always felt that under Qiao Xihe's calm appearance, there seemed to be an undercurrent.

He was really worried about her state.

However, I can't say what I mean.

In Qiaoqiao's heart now, what kind of explanations or things he makes are all purposeful, right?

So, the two of them were silent.

More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of the old mansion, and the housekeeper was already waiting at the door, and when he saw them, he quickly opened the car door first and saluted them respectfully.

"Young master, young lady, the old man has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time. ”

Pei Tingyuan responded: "I know." I've brought some things and put them in the trunk, so go get them for the old man. ”

"Okay, young master. ”

Pei Tingyuan didn't enter the door immediately, but took Qiao Xihe's hand first.

"You don't have to say anything," Qiao Xihe spoke first: "I will obediently be a qualified daughter-in-law of the Pei family, and I won't cause trouble for you." At least for now, I won't say something that shouldn't be heard by the old man. ”

Pei Tingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I want to say that you have lipstick marks on your face." ”

"Huh?" Qiao Xihe would never have thought that he was talking about this, thinking of having lipstick marks on his face, accepting the photos of reporters like a clown, and walking over so slowly, he felt that his cheeks were very hot, and he hurriedly took out a small mirror from his bag, and wanted to wipe it off quickly, while scolding Pei Tingyuan for not telling her earlier.

What is this called doing some show of affection?!

"Just now in the car, when you were holding your head with your hands, you accidentally rubbed it. Pei Tingyuan said, raised his hand, and wiped the faint red marks on her cheeks with warm fingertips, "Okay, no." ”

Qiao Xihe still looked in the mirror and looked at it again and again, and made sure that there was no dirt on his face.

At this time, the housekeeper had already walked into the villa with a few gift boxes.

Pei Tingyuan led Qiao Xihe to follow closely.

Old Man Pei was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, and on the coffee table in front of him, there was a pair of chess.

The soldiers and horses of both sides fought on a small chessboard.

And there is only one person who controls them - Pei Yuan.

He didn't seem to hear the movement coming from the door, but still stared intently at the chessboard, considering what to do next.

Pei Tingyuan took Qiao Xihe to sit down on the sofa opposite, and the housekeeper gently put the gift in the corner of the coffee table.

"Excuse me, pour two glasses of water. He commanded.

The housekeeper nodded and went to the kitchen.

Qiao Xihe watched Old Man Pei play chess for a while, when she was bored at home with her father in the past, the father and daughter also liked to kill a few games, so she could also see a little bit of the situation of Old Man Pei's game of chess.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides are in a state of stalemate, taking defense as an attack and not giving in to each other.

When a person plays a game of chess, it tests his understanding, qualitative and wisdom, and as long as he does not pay attention to it, he will favor one side, and make this game of chess collapse, and there is no fun at all.

The butler brought two glasses of water, placed them in front of them, and quietly withdrew.

In the living room, no one spoke.

Pei Tingyuan took out his mobile phone, plugged in the headphones, and then turned on the video of a variety show, stuffed one of the earphones into Qiao Xihe's ears, and stuffed the other himself.

"Kill the time. ”

Qiao Xihe looked at the screen of her mobile phone, which was the variety show she watched in the hospital last time, and now it is the latest episode playing on her mobile phone, and she has not watched it yet.

The sound of laughter sounded in the headphones, and the youthful smiles of the handsome men and women on the screen drove the emotions of the onlookers.

However, Qiao Xihe didn't have the heart to look at it, after all, there was an old man Pei next to him.

If they do this, the old man should be angry, right?

She waited for more than ten minutes, but Old Man Pei's attention never left the chessboard, as if he didn't know they were coming.

"Just take a closer look. Pei Tingyuan said with a smile.

"......" Qiao Xihe lowered her head and pursed her lips angrily, can her identity be compared to Pei Tingyuan's own grandson?

Just as she was babbling a few words, there was the sound of footsteps on the other side of the stairs.

The lady who went downstairs stroked her curly hair, graceful and luxurious. Her slender phoenix eyes glanced at the two people in the living room, snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "My nephew and daughter-in-law will not die this time, it's really lucky, congratulations." ”
