Chapter 346: The Missing Gift
"You're back. ”
In the end, she said only one sentence.
Pei Tingyuan's tired face showed a smile, and he walked over with open arms and hugged his beloved wife, "Qiaoqiao." ”
Qiao Xihe raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then patted him on the back, "It's hard work." I thought you were going to be back late today. ”
Pei Tingyuan said with a smile: "In order to see my beloved wife as soon as possible, I naturally have to speed up the pace and finish things." ”
Qiao Xihe said: "I can't delay you from doing your business." ”
"No, it won't. Pei Tingyuan touched Qiao Xihe's face, and then reached into the pocket of his suit, but his fingers did not touch what he expected, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and touched the pocket on the other side, but there was still nothing.
How so......
He frowned, unable to remember when that thing had disappeared.
"Jojo, you wait for me. Pei Tingyuan let go of Qiao Xihe and walked outside quickly.
It's also possible that it slipped out of your pocket and fell on the car.
Qiao Xihe looked at his back, biting his lip with his teeth, his face tangled.
Why can't I ask a word?
I obviously want to know the answer so much, and I finally have enough courage and confidence to say the problem, but why...... Why can't he say a word when he is in front of Pei Tingyuan?
She felt pain and chagrin, but there was nothing she could do.
The clenched fist was loosened and clenched again, and the courage to vent out could not be accumulated.
She knew that she didn't trust Pei Tingyuan enough after all, otherwise, she wouldn't be so entangled and hesitant.
Therefore, when Pei Tingyuan came back, she could only quickly adjust her mood and pretend to smile, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, it just so happens that I haven't eaten either, let's be together." ”
Pei Tingyuan sat down beside her, "Well, I'll have dinner with you." ”
Qiao Xihe picked up the chopsticks and buried himself in the rice.
Pei Tingyuan originally wanted to pick up vegetables for Qiao Xihe, but when he saw the plate in front of her, he could only give up.
Sister-in-law Wang saw the situation and regretted it, she knew that the young master would come back, so she didn't give Qiao Xihe so many dishes.
She thought about it for a while, and simply stepped forward to take away the plate full of vegetables, "Young lady, I'll change a clean plate for you." ”
"No need. Qiao Xihe hurriedly stopped her actions, "I haven't eaten these dishes yet, they're all good, I'll finish them." ”
Sister-in-law Wang glanced at Qiao Xihe vigorously.
Qiao Xihe could see what she meant, but decided to pretend to be stupid and not let Sister-in-law Wang remove the plate.
After a stalemate for a minute, Sister-in-law Wang couldn't continue to block between the young master and the young lady, sighed silently, and stepped aside.
"Here, eat a chicken leg. Pei Tingyuan took a chicken leg from the soup and put it in Qiao Xihe's bowl.
She held the bowl and hid to the side, because the plate was already full of vegetables, and if the chicken legs were put on it, each dish would smell good, so Pei Tingyuan's chopsticks could only freeze on the plate.
"Eat it yourself. She said lightly, the old hen guarded her bowl like a chick.
There was a lump in her heart, and she couldn't eat the dishes that Pei Tingyuan had brought over as intimately as usual.
"Qiaoqiao?" Pei Tingyuan was a little puzzled.
Qiao Xihe said: "Sister-in-law Wang has already sandwiched a chicken leg for me, you can eat this one." ”
Pei Tingyuan's gaze wandered around her face, and finally put the chicken leg in his bowl.
Qiao Xihe took two mouthfuls of food and asked in a low voice, "If such a serious thing happens, you won't be in the hospital to watch it, is it okay?"
Pei Tingyuan swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "It is more useful to have professional medical staff watching than for me to be stupid and stay by the side." ”
“…… Oh. Qiao Xihe replied absentmindedly, a piece of pork rib gnawed in his mouth until there was no meat left, and he continued to gnaw without feeling.
Pei Tingyuan can't see the problem anymore, so it's not Pei Tingyuan.
He said loudly: "Qiaoqiao, come, eat another piece of ribs." ”
"Huh?" Qiao Xihe suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that there was no meat on the ribs he was gnawing on, and he was like a puppy, gnawing tirelessly.
Pei Tingyuan must have seen that there was something wrong with her, right?
She panicked and glanced at Pei Tingyuan.
Pei Tingyuan still smiled gently, and put the ribs in her bowl, then took the ribs she had eaten clean with his bare hands and threw them on the table.
"......" Qiao Xihe lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the rice in the bowl.
However, there was not much rice left in the bowl.
Pei Tingyuan said: "Qiaoqiao, did something happen today that made you unhappy?"
Qiao Xihe pretended to be stupid, "No?"
Pei Tingyuan leaned over and said with a smile: "I smell a smell of vinegar." ”
Qiao Xihe pointed to the vinegar used to dip the saltwater shrimp on the table, "That's it, you are as sensitive as a dog's nose." ”
"Well, so I can smell the smell of you. Pei Ting said from afar.
"Hahaha......" Qiao Xihe smiled dryly, "It's not serious to eat, you've been busy all day, aren't you hungry, don't you hurry up and eat." ”
As she spoke, she scooped up a few spoonfuls of black chicken soup and drank it hastily.
"I was full, so I went upstairs first, and there was still a little bit of work to be done in the draft. After she finished speaking, she went upstairs as if she had fled.
Pei Tingyuan didn't stop her, listened to the footsteps of hurrying upstairs, lowered his head, and quickly ate the meal.
Qiao Xihe habitually returned to the guest room, but when he saw the empty room, he felt like he was in a different world.
The sheets and quilts were new, the cloakroom was empty, not a single piece of her dress was missing, and the toiletries in the bathroom and the makeup and skin care products on the dresser were all gone.
Only on the wall at the head of the bed, there are still wedding photos of her and Pei Tingyuan, with a sweet smile and affection.
She wandered around the room twice before she realized that her belongings must have been moved to the master bedroom.
She walked to the door of the guest room, listened to the movement downstairs, hesitated for a moment, and walked to the master bedroom.
Sure enough, her toothbrush and mouthwash cup were placed side by side on the dressing table with Pei Tingyuan's set, and the dresser was also moved over, and a large area was vacated in the cloakroom, and next to Pei Tingyuan's plain and monotonous suit shirt, all her clothes were colorful.
In this way, it is like the home of the male and female hosts.
However, is she really the mistress of the Pei family in the real sense of the word, Pei Tingyuan's wife?
As she stood hesitantly in the doorway, lost in thought, a pair of hands pressed on her shoulders, and she was taken into a warm, thick embrace.
