Chapter 278: The Old Man
The evening breeze was blowing, the air was mixed with the smell of freshly mowed green grass, the silver-white moonlight shone obliquely on his shoulder, and she was shrouded in his shadow, with an indescribable mood.
The pendulum clock ticked, and her hand holding the porcelain bowl was still held by him, and the temperature was scorching.
Pei Ya suddenly didn't know what to say, the two already had a child, and she had heard of Xu Kai's infatuation with Wei Xiaoxiao before, and she herself was the one he had been thinking about. What's more, she and he have already obtained the certificate, and they are already a serious couple in law, and his request is not too much.
Pei Ya's eyes were a little flustered, Xu Kai saw her hesitation, her sexy thin lips suddenly rose leisurely, she just hesitated? Instead of just pushing him away!
In the dim light, he looked down at her and continued to persuade, "You don't want to hear something about you?" There are some things that only I know. He muttered, with some self-pride, and his voice was hoarse with lust, and he held her hand a little tighter.
Pei Ya also knew that if she was too hypocritical, it would be a little embarrassing, the children were born, and she made herself look like a chaste and fierce woman, which made her feel weird.
But she really couldn't accept him so quickly, in her eyes, Xu Kai was still a familiar stranger.
She raised her head, and there was a thin halo in her eyes: "You drink the ginseng soup first, I-I'll go to see the child, soon--I'm ready to go to bed, there will be a play tomorrow, you are not well yet, you should rest early." She was stuffed, and her heart was like thunder, but fortunately there was no light in the house, otherwise the expression on her face would have betrayed her.
Actually, she doesn't want to be hypocritical, but in the face of Xu Kai's panic and heartbeat, she can't hide it, and she can't ignore it.
Looking at Pei Ya's face, and then at the ginseng soup in the porcelain bowl, Xu Kai didn't know how to refuse, but if he drank it, the consequences-
"You can go ahead of you, I'll drink it later." He said lightly and let go of her hand, his injury was indeed not healed, and he still needed to take care of it for a whileββγ
The wedding day should be fine!
Seeing that Pei Ya was still hesitating in place, he raised his eyebrows, and the occasional squirming appearance was faintly visible, he cleared his throat and said, "You don't really want to stay tonight, do you?" β
"Me? - Why! Pei Ya panicked, she didn't want him to misunderstand him so much, it was just too embarrassing: "Mom said that she wanted me to watch you drink it with my own eyes." β
She is very concerned about his health, and the two children finally found their father, and the 'quality' must be good!
Xu Kai sat back on the sofa, he leaned back, his elbows propped up on the soft backrest, because leaning against the window, his face was even deeper and colder in the moonlight: "If you don't say it, if I don't say it, she won't know." β
Yes?
How can there be a feeling of collusion with each other and embarrassment!
"Mom is also for your good." Pei Ya didn't understand why he refused to drink ginseng soup, ginseng for decades was very expensive, and after her surgery, Pei's family also stewed it for her, and she was reluctant to drink it.
Xu Kai turned his head and looked at a huge Xifu begonia outside the window, the flowers had already gone, and it was finally not so dazzling, he smiled slightly, looking a little tired: "She is indeed for my good." He spoke something strange.
"Then you still don't drink it?" Pei Ya had a questioning tone, she stood in place, still holding the porcelain bowl in her hand, Xu Kai was now more than a dozen steps away from her, she felt much calmer, and then said, "Don't you want to recover sooner?"
How don't you want to?
It's so much to think about!
Cui Yan must have overestimated his physical condition, although the gunshot wound did not hurt the vital point, but the distance from the pipa bone was very close, he would feel unbearable pain if he exerted a little force, even so, this great adoptive mother still gave him this tonic at this juncture!
Xu Kai smiled and sighed, it seems that he is not the only one who is in a hurry!
He touched his nose and raised his eyes to look at Pei Ya, under the hazy moonlight, his face seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and the smile seemed to be intimidating, and he chuckled and said, "You didn't care so much about me before?" β
When it came to before, Pei Ya didn't know anything, and she was even embarrassed to mention that before, she didn't know anything about everything he knew.
"If you have to force me to drink, then you can only stay!" There is no discussion about this matter, she can't let him sleep and eat alone, she is the culprit, and she must be 'responsible' for herself!
Finally, Pei Ya compromised: "Then you drink it yourself, I'll go out first." β
She brought the porcelain bowl to the sandalwood-trimmed glass coffee table in front of him, glanced at him, and quickly walked out of the room and closed the door.
Xu Kai looked at the bowl of tonics, thought of the gorgeous figure of his sweetheart when he was wearing a cheongsam, and suddenly got up and took a cold shower.
The following week was almost lackluster.
Pei Ya hadn't seen Xu Kai appear in the old mansion for a week, according to the housekeeper Uncle Li's words, the eldest young master had a lot of things, and he rested directly in the apartment in the city, except for Cui Yan, who was quite worried, the rest of the people had an indifferent attitude, Pei Ya was relieved.
On this day, Cui Yan and Xu Qingyun had just come back from outside, and the bodyguards behind them were carrying large bags of things to the living room.
Pei Wenxuan ran over, his bright eyes glanced at a bunch of luxury goods, poked his head out and asked, "Grandma, why don't you have my things?" "It's so annoying, in terms of IQ, character, and vision, he is not the first or second in this family, but why is he always unwelcome.
Cui Yan touched his head: "Your parents are about to get married, of course they are the most important, you and Xinyou's things, grandma will make up for it later!" β
Mrs. Xu led the two children to the small living room upstairs to play, Pei Ya looked at a pile of expensive clothes and jewelry, and felt strange and distressed, she said: "Mom, sister-in-law, in fact, don't be so troublesome." β
Xu Qingyun has never been married in her life, since Pei Ya was born, she has been imagining how to hold a wedding, when the opportunity comes, she will not let it go, she took Pei Ya's hand and said: "You don't have to worry about these, you just need to wait to be your bride, by the way, where do you want to set up the wedding room?" β
Pei Ya couldn't understand it for a while, and all her thoughts were focused on the word 'marriage room'.
Cui Yan explained: "You plan to place the wedding house in the old house? Or Shangri-La Seven? I think it's in the old house, Xiao Kai should be the son-in-law, do you think this will work? Under the nose of his parents, he doesn't want to bully you! The bright face smiled like a flower.
Xu Qingtian felt that this idea was very good, and strongly supported his wife's opinion: "Yes, anyway, Xiaokai is also our adopted son, and it is normal to get married in the old mansion, so it is decided, I will ask the housekeeper to sort out the big room on the third floor tomorrow and start decorating." β
In fact, all the rooms upstairs have been beautifully decorated, and only need to be slightly modified and some furniture can be added.
Pei Ya didn't refute, she felt that instead of living alone with Xu Kai in the villa on the top of the mountain, it was better to stay in the old mansion, at least there were other people, and she wouldn't be too embarrassed.
A few people were discussing, Xu Kai walked over from the entrance, Zhang's mother stepped forward to help him get the briefcase, he looked a little more energetic than last week, the whole person was sassy and handsome, just a glance, Pei Ya looked away, she definitely couldn't let him know that she thought he was good-looking!
Xu heard a voice when he entered the door, and as soon as Xu Kai entered the living room, he asked directly: "Do you want to stay in the old mansion?" β
Since you are marrying him, you must live in his place!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard that he was talking to Pei Ya, and they were all very interested and did not bother.
"The children stay here for parents to take care of, and Wenxuan likes it here." Pei Ya said in a slurred manner, the excuse was a little insufficient, and she herself felt embarrassed to face everyone's snickering eyes.
"I'm asking if you want to stay here!" Xu Kai sat beside Pei Ya, took Xiao Kui and handed him white tea, he held the lid of the cup in his right hand and brushed the tea leaves floating in the mouth of the cup very regularly, his expression was light, but his eyes were very hot.
Cui Yan and Xu Qingyun packed up today's spoils, Xu Qingtian went upstairs to see the old lady and the child, and the housekeeper and Zhang's mother all looked east and west, saying that they did not exist.
Although this is Pei Ya's home, she always feels that she is a guest, especially when she faces this man, she rubs her hands stiffly, the upper circumference set off by her slender waist is even more plump, she quietly slanted her eyes and glanced at Xu Kai, her face was red, like a little woman in her first love.
Xu Kai's eyes froze, and he deliberately stayed away from her for a week, but it still didn't work, he suddenly put down the teacup, and still felt that it was better to drink something cold.
"Let's live in the old house after we get married, Mom and Dad and Grandma, they're old, and besidesβ" She didn't seem to be able to make any excuses.
"Are you afraid to be alone with me?" Xu Kai said casually, the person was already leaning on the sofa, he didn't plan to come back, after taking a shower in the apartment, he still felt more relieved to come back and take a look, at this time there was a cool smell on his body with a faint fragrance: "I won't eat you again!" β
This was very ambiguous, Pei Ya pretended not to understand, and planned to prevaricate at will: "I like to be lively, the old house is very good, warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a small garden and vegetable garden outside." β
She can't tell what her feelings are for Xu Kai, and if she doesn't like it at all, she is a little self-deceptive, but if she says that she loves it to the bones, it will definitely be impossible!
Because she doesn't remember him at all!
There are two children between the two, which is a blood relationship that can never be separated.
In silence, Pei Yaxian couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't you come back in the past few days?" Is the company busy? I heard from my uncle that he has been helping out in the company recently? She took a sip of the white tea that Xu Kai hadn't drunk, and asked Xiaokui to bring the ginseng soup over: "It's just the right time for you to come back, my mother prepared it for you, you can drink it while it's hot." β
Aoi snickered beside her.
"I still have something to do, I'll go back to the apartment first, and the matter of the wedding room is all up to your opinion." After that, he stood up and left, without even looking at the ginseng soup. The speed of leaving was simply too decisive, and Pei Ya had the illusion that he didn't want to marry himself at all.
In the end, the matter of the marriage room was settled.
Pei Ya didn't have time to care about this issue, and it was finished the next day, as the heroine, she went to the company early in the morning, and the next publicity activities were essential.
When the front desk saw her appear, they hurriedly greeted her with a bouquet of flowers, this time it was a tulip.
She flipped through the cards in the flowers with her free right hand, just a few simple words 'don't work too hard', after the last incident, the whole starry light was only Xu Kai's flower could reach the front desk smoothly, Pei Ya didn't have to think about it to know who gave the flower.
He suddenly became a humble gentleman, and he was very unaccustomed to it.
The front desk saw that her face was still old, but she still decided to announce: "Second Miss, Mr. Qiu of Universal Film and Television is waiting for you in the conference room, he has been here for an hour, do you want to see him?" β
Mr. Qiu? Isn't it Qiu Lei? Her legendary first love!
The last engagement banquet was thanks to his help, and after thinking about it, she decided to meet, maybe she could remember some things from the past.
As soon as Pei Ya left, the front desk directly contacted Chen Lin and reported the matter truthfully.
The small conference hall on the 11th floor is specially provided for artists to hold small meetings, and the reason why the front desk let Qiu Lei be himself there is probably because he doesn't want him to see anything else about the company.
She didn't think much about it, so she walked straight over, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a tall man wearing a dark shirt facing the window, standing with his hands in his hands, for some reason, Pei Ya felt that his back was very lonely.
This is the old man?
Before she could speak, Qiu Lei turned around, and when he saw that it was Pei Ya, he smiled: "Are you here?" "This face is really so similar when you look at it now, why didn't he think of it in the first place? He said, "Don't remember me, do you?" Hehe- sit down and talk, you don't have to be nervous, I'm just- I want to catch up with you. β
Nervous?
She's really not nervous at all!
Pei Ya pulled out a chair and sat down, and also signaled Qiu Lei not to be polite, she had no impression of this old man at all: "Last time at the engagement banquet, I had to thank you, otherwise, I don't know what kind of news will break out the next day." Her expression was sincere.
She always did.
The hypocritical self is in love with her sincerity!
Qiu Lei had mixed feelings, the woman sitting opposite was the person he had been thinking about for many years, but what he had pursued all his life forced him to stay away from the most reluctant person, and in the end, he couldn't tell what he wanted.
He still remembers that many years ago, he was ridiculed for having no father and being an illegitimate child, when his mother had passed away, and when Pei Ya was still Xiao Xiao, he would often comfort him like this: "How you live by yourself is your own business, you don't have to look at other people's eyes!" Besides, don't you still have me! "She's always optimistic, and he's dark.
She would share pocket money with him, secretly bring him food from the orphanage, buy him a lot of books, and always say, "Destiny is in your own hands." β
At that time, she was his sunny day!
Qiu Lei lowered his eyes and sat with his back to the light, Pei Ya couldn't see the meaning of his eyes clearly.
"Wedding is coming, isn't it? Don't you think of him? Qiu Lei added: "I mean Xu Shao!" β
Pei Ya shook her head, she looked at the tulip in her hand, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, Qiu Lei captured this scene, he continued: "You like him? "Don't you remember who he is, but still like him?
Six years ago, Qiu Lei mustered up the courage to pursue Pei Ya again, but she said: "It's not that you're not good enough, it's that he's too good." β
He didn't want to admit it, and he had to admit it!
Pei Ya didn't know how to answer for a while, the matter of 'liking' always came unexpectedly, and after a while, she said: "He is my child's father, I think I should like him!" She herself couldn't tell. (To be continued.) )
