Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065: The Reason for Staying Here
In the baby room, Zhixi was still talking with Yun Xuefei and Shen Yushan.
When He Jingyao walked in, her eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up, looking like she was ready to jump into his arms at any moment.
However, considering there were still guests present, she ultimately restrained herself.
Yun Xuefei and Shen Yushan exchanged a glance and smiled as they excused themselves.
Zhixi felt a bit embarrassed. After they left, she walked over and hugged the man’s waist, "Are there many guests downstairs? Should I bring the child down to meet them?"
"Meet who?" He Jingyao kissed her forehead, "Most of them are Mom and Dad’s friends, honestly quite dull."
Zhixi smiled and acknowledged, still holding onto him and unwilling to let go.
"I mean, you’re just going to completely ignore me, are you?" a slightly chilly voice suddenly chimed in.
Zhixi was startled and turned her head to look: "Pei Yuanchen? When did you come in?"
"I came in with your man." Pei Yuanchen smirked, "Forget it, go on with your mushiness. I’m here to see my little niece, not you."
Saying this, he walked over to the cradle.
Zhixi felt embarrassed and was about to withdraw her arm, but He Jingyao held onto her hand.
"Ignore him." he said in a husky voice and leaned down to kiss her lips.
Zhixi’s heart softened, and she submissively accepted the kiss.
Perhaps forgetting everything made her fearful of losing him again, which made her particularly clingy these days.
He Jingyao enjoyed it very much.
It was a while before he let her go, his gaze somewhat fervent.
Zhixi couldn’t help but kiss him on the chin.
He Jingyao’s eyes deepened, wanting to kiss her again, but Zhixi blushed and avoided it slightly.
"...Wait a minute." She remembered Pei Yuanchen was still there and turned to look at him.
Pei Yuanchen was leaning over, amusing the child.
"How come you’re here? How’s Dad’s recovery?" asked Zhixi.
Pei Yuanchen looked up and huffed: "His attending doctor says his surgery went pretty well, no problem living another dozen years."
Although Zhixi had already talked to Gu Bingjun on the phone and knew about his condition, she still breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Pei Yuanchen’s confirmation.
"That’s good. How long will you be staying this time?" Zhixi asked curiously.
Pei Yuanchen paused.
Gu Bingjun hadn’t set any timetable for his return.
But he seemed to have no reason to stay in Yanzhou City.
Except...
Thinking of He Ziyi’s smiling face, Pei Yuanchen’s heart skipped slightly.
"I’ll head back once the business here is done." His voice was a bit hoarse.
Zhixi was curious: "What business do you have in Yanzhou City?"
"Shut up." Pei Yuanchen replied harshly.
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh.
The full moon banquet lasted two hours.
The guests gradually departed, and He Jingyao also took Zhixi and the three children back to Hades Manor.
Pei Yuanchen got into the car, driving to a hotel he had booked temporarily.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
He opened the car door to get out and suddenly heard a thunk inside the car, followed by the sudden opening of the back seat door.
His face changed: "Who?"
"Uncle Xiaobao..." a soft female voice suddenly called out.
He Ziyi’s slender figure appeared before his eyes.
Pei Yuanchen looked like he had seen a ghost: "Why are you here!"
When he left the He Family’s old mansion, he was wondering why this young lady hadn’t come to see him off.
Turns out she had hidden herself in his car all along!
