Since Pei Zile left, Pei Shaobei and I had a big fight, but we have never been able to go back to the past, it always seems that there are many things in the middle, and none of us have the courage to cross.

I still go to work, and Pei Shaobei is still busy with the case.

Yuan Shao wanted to use Xiao Chen's case to become famous, which made me think of Xu Kun, who was bent on fame and profit. I think these people are clearer than I like to deceive myself.

When I met Dong Mei again, it was close to New Year's Day, at that time my stomach was already bulging, and it became very inconvenient to move, originally Pei Shaobei and I made an appointment to eat together, but I called halfway and said that I had something to do, let me eat first. I suddenly lost my appetite. Since that incident, as long as Pei Shaobei says that he has something to be busy, I never ask him what he is really busy with, even if he deliberately explains later, I will quickly change the topic, and after a few times, Pei Shaobei found my resistance to this, so he no longer said anything about work and blind date in front of me.

We thought that everything was safe, but it was walking on thin ice, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time, I don't know what Pei Shaobei thought in his heart, but I know that my heart has already become as light as ashes in such a so-called scandal that is not just deliberate or accidentally exposed.

After six months of age, my meals became so large that even if I had no appetite, I could eat as much as one person. I called my favorite dish, alone, quiet and lonely.

Dong Mei appeared in front of my eyes at this time, her lower abdomen was slightly raised, and her face was white, which was completely different from what I had usually seen.

"Can I sit down?" Dong Mei asked me with a smile, but she didn't look like she was deliberately flamboyant, nor did she deliberately please me.

I was stunned, nodded, and my eyes fell on her stomach, not knowing how to speak.

Although Pei Shaobei rarely told me about the firm, I knew that Xiao Chen was sentenced for causing death for economic crimes and is still in prison. I shouldn't have felt guilty, but as a mother, I had to feel ashamed.

"You're alright!" I pondered the words, my tone dry.

"It's good, I can eat, I can sleep, the child doesn't make trouble, and I don't have much reaction!" Dong Mei smiled, her white face was a little freckled, her eyebrows and eyes were not as strong as in her memory, and she looked a little elegant.

"That's good, I had morning sickness at the time, but now it's okay, look at it, I'm a lot fatter!" I smiled and pinched my face, "I don't even dare to weigh myself or look in the mirror." ”

"Being a mother is hard enough, and I never experienced it before, but now I can understand the bitterness. Dong Mei smiled slightly, looking quiet, "The child's father still dislikes me for eating less, and always keeps cooking for me to eat, I'm really afraid that when I give birth, I will suffer because the fetus is too big!"

"Daddy child?" I finally asked, stunned.

Dong Mei was stunned for a moment, and a touch of sadness flashed on her face, but it was quickly replaced by the original tranquility. "The child's father is not Xiao Chen, after his lawsuit was decided, I was kicked out of the door by the Xiao family. Do you remember that when I kidnapped you, one of the bodyguards I brought with me was the child's father, and he took me in and protected me!"

I listened blankly to Dong Mei finish a few words about this experience, but the fluctuation in my heart was extremely great. I can't imagine what kind of despair Dong Mei encountered to change from a woman who cared so much about Xiao Chen's status as a wealthy wife to a woman who was gentle and almost didn't want her.

"Do you think I'm strange?" Dong Mei seemed to see my surprise, she chuckled, brushed her hair with her fingers, pulled it behind her ear, my eyes fell behind her ear with her movements, and saw a huge scar, from the sideburns all the way to the neck, if it wasn't for the hair up, it really couldn't be seen clearly.

"Xiao Chen hit?"

"No, it's the people of the Xiao family, they think I'm useless and ruined their son. However, what does what Xiao Chen did have to do with me?" Dong Mei laughed lightly, with self-deprecation, her eyes were slightly red, I couldn't bear it, I reached out and shook her hand, wanting to comfort her, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed them stiffly.

"Gu Wan, you still haven't changed, after so many years, I always feel that under the influence of the Pei family, you will also become like me. Do you know that people are selfish and cold, and they all occupy this side with the rich and powerful. In the past, when the poor only thought about eating their stomachs, who still had the mind to think about those who had and didn't. Looking back now, I realize that I am really naïve and ridiculous!" Dong Mei didn't hold back her tears after all, and it was distressing to cry for the first time in front of me.

I used to think that I and Dong Mei might not sit and eat together so calmly again in our lives. Because of Xiao Chen, because of my father. But at this moment, I feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart, probably because I am also pregnant, and the common topic has become very special.

I don't want her to be immersed in the past and start to change the subject to talk about other things, about prenatal education, about prenatal checkups, about having children.

After chatting for a while, Dong Mei asked me, "Has the Pei family accepted you?"

I was stunned and smiled a little evasively, "I don't want to get married!"

Dong Mei didn't ask again, but followed me and said, "If you don't want to marry, don't marry, marriage is not child's play, think about it and do it again, and you can't blame others if you regret it in the future!"

"Thank you, Dong Mei!" I sincerely thanked.

At this time, Pei Shaobei hurried over from outside, his shirt was still a little messy, and when he saw Dong Mei, he was slightly stunned, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Why are you here?"

"Lawyer Pei, long time no see!" Dong Mei got up with a smile to say hello, seeing that Pei Shaobei didn't care about her coldness, she just explained, "I came over for dinner, and I happened to meet Gu Wan and talked for a while." Lawyer Pei doesn't need to be so wary of me, I have nothing to do with Xiao Chen and the Xiao family. ”

Pei Shaobei didn't answer, but looked at me and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

I shook my head and wanted to explain it for Dong Mei, but was directly cut off by Pei Shaobei, "Since it was a chance encounter, what should be said and what should not be said should be finished, then please, don't send it!"

I was a little disgusted by Pei Shaobei's attitude, and looked at Dong Mei apologetically, but she at least smiled and turned away.

I looked at her careful appearance of gently stroking her stomach, and I felt sorry in my heart, but I became more and more resistant to Pei Shaobei.

I broke away from his hand slightly, sat on the chair and didn't speak, but Pei Shaobei didn't seem to realize the change in my mood, and began to ask me what Dong Mei said, as well as the changes in my stomach today.

"Pei Shaobei, do you see that all the people who are close to me think that others have bad intentions? What are you afraid of? Do you think that I can't see people, or do you think they can get something from me? I don't think so, I am very ordinary, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, put in the crowd, almost instantly annihilated, what are you worried about?" I suppressed my anger and looked calm.

Pei Shaobei's eyebrows furrowed again, and he looked at me for a while, but he didn't refute, but changed the topic and said, "Don't talk about this, when is your next prenatal checkup, I'm going to go on a business trip for a few days, and try to rush back before then." ”

"No need, I can do it myself!" I twisted my face, sighed lightly, picked up the chopsticks but couldn't eat them, and finally patted the table a little angrily, and looked at Pei Shaobei with my arms crossed, "Look at your appearance, you should have finished eating, take it away!"

After that, without waiting for him to answer, he directly beckoned to call the waiter, Pei Shaobei had no choice but to settle the bill, I looked bored and helpless, and I felt happy in my heart.

This has almost become the norm between us in the past few months, I deliberately looked for trouble, but Pei Shaobei couldn't bear it.

I found a vent in my heart between this kind of walking and retreating, and found some kind of balance, balancing my inner powerlessness over the disparity between us, although I knew that this so-called balance was just my own more and more morbid control of the relationship, meaningless, and only intensified, and could no longer be stopped.

I don't care.

On the way home, the radio was on, and there were people talking about the suspected engagement between the young master of the Pei family and the daughter of a famous family on the night news. Pei Shaobei turned off the radio directly with some irritability, looked at me and wanted to explain, I twisted my face directly outside, I didn't want to listen, I didn't want to believe it.

If the first blind date was because Pei Zile hurt the people of the Song family, he had to be like this and had to act on the spot, then now, he believes again and again, almost the whole city I know, I don't know all the famous ladies I know, I don't know, I don't know, what other reason he can come up with to prevaricate.

Since it is prevarication, it is a lie, and since it is a lie, then what is the point of listening to me.

"Gu Wan, I know you're not happy in your heart, I still say the same thing, you believe me, I will take care of these things and give you a future you want!"

Pei Shaobei's words seemed to echo in my ears in the silent night, and I am extremely glad now, the people around my parents don't know that the so-called Pei family's eldest young master is him Pei Shaobei, although it is impossible for these gossip after tea and dinner not to reach the ears of my parents, but Pei Shaobei's assurance, as well as his almost compensatory care for my parents, and the soon-to-be-born child in my womb, have made them deaf to these rumors.

But is it really deaf to a deaf ear? Maybe only they know?
