The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 49

Chapter 49 My Husband is the Best

Chapter Forty-Nine

The night passed, and when Pei Huaixue woke up, Gu Minghe was still inside, and the remnants had not been cleaned up yet.

He felt sticky all over and very uncomfortable.

Gu Minghe then held his wife and took another shower.

Afterward, Pei Huaixue caught a cold and developed a low fever again.

It proved that staying inside wouldn’t lead to pregnancy, but it would lead to sickness, Pei Huaixue thought, his head feeling slightly dizzy.

This time the fever wasn’t as severe as the last. He could still get out of bed and walk around, but he had to move slowly. If he quickened his pace, he would become breathless.

Yet, even in this state, Pei Huaixue was still restless.

When Gu Minghe was feeding him water and medicine, he deliberately licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, tempting his husband to feed him mouth-to-mouth.

Gu Minghe had no self-control in front of Pei Huaixue. With just a small hook of the hand, he willingly held Pei Huaixue’s lips and passed the water to him.

There was too much water, and Pei Huaixue couldn’t hold it all. The warm water mixed with saliva rolled down the corners of his mouth and into his collar. He gasped lightly, wanting more.

Gu Minghe snapped back to his senses. Seeing that most of the water in the cup was gone but the medicine hadn’t been taken, he immediately put on a stern face. “No, take the medicine first, then we can kiss.”

“Can’t we kiss and then I take it?” Pei Huaixue whined. The medicine was too bitter, he didn’t want to take it.

“What do you think?” Gu Minghe didn’t indulge him further. He watched him take the medicine, and only then did he give him a reward kiss, but that was the extent of it.

Pei Huaixue was still unsatisfied. His small hand gently traced Gu Minghe’s thigh, but it was quickly swatted away.

“No, you aren’t well. We can’t mess around anymore,” Gu Minghe suppressed his desire, speaking in a deep voice. “Besides, we have something very important today.”

Just then, the live broadcast started. Because Pei Huaixue was sick, the production team hadn’t scheduled any activities for the day, so everyone else went back to work or school.

Pei Huaixue, however, planned to go home for a visit.

Today was his mother’s birthday, and he needed to go back to celebrate it for her.

Gu Minghe had also remembered this and had prepared the gifts. But seeing Pei Huaixue still ill, he was worried. “How about I go back and see Mom, and you rest well here? She will understand.”

“How can I do that?” Pei Huaixue widened his eyes. “I just have a slight fever, it’s not like I can’t walk.”

As if to prove he was truly fine, he bounced around on the floor a few times. However, after just a moment of jumping, he felt dizzy and almost fell.

Fortunately, Gu Minghe had been watching him the whole time. Seeing him about to fall, he quickly rushed over, wrapped his arms around his waist, and held him tightly.

“You,” Gu Minghe poked his head. “Be honest when you’re not feeling well.”

Pei Huaixue pouted. “I have to go back, otherwise… this whole thing will be hard to explain.”

He hadn’t told his mother about his divorce from Gu Minghe yet.

His mother would definitely find it strange that they suddenly appeared on a dating show.

Moreover, it was her birthday; his absence would be completely inexcusable.

Gu Minghe couldn’t argue with him and had to agree to let him go.

The viewers in the comments were stunned by their conversation.

– CEO Gu is too proactive. They aren’t even married yet, they just started dating, and he’s already calling her Mom?

– So, Xuexue is going to formally introduce Gu Minghe to his mother?

– Wow, the young couple is meeting the parents!

– Get married, get married!

– Gu Minghe can’t wait to marry into the Pei family, lol

– Xuexue is so fragile, he seems to get sick every few days. No wonder CEO Gu is so worried about him.

Pei Huaixue’s home was in a high-end residential area in the city center. The house was bought with the money Pei Huaixue earned after becoming an influencer, and he was still paying off the mortgage.

Although Gu Minghe wanted to help him pay for the house, Pei Huaixue absolutely refused.

He felt justified spending Gu Minghe’s money on himself, but for the house he bought for his mother, he only wanted to use his own money. It was a token of his affection as a son to his mother.

Pei Huaixue came from a single-parent family. His father died in an accident shortly after he was born, and he was raised by his mother, taking her surname.

Before he was five, their life was very difficult; going hungry and cold was common. Fortunately, things slowly improved after they moved in with the Gu family.

When Pei Huaixue told her he was with Gu Minghe, Pei Mama was actually very anxious and spent a long time trying to persuade Pei Huaixue not to marry Gu Minghe.

Although Gu Minghe was a good child whom she had watched grow up and knew he treated Pei Huaixue well, who knew if people’s hearts would change later? Could Gu Minghe just be playing with Pei Huaixue?

And the Gu family—what would their reaction be? Would they agree to the two children being together?

However, none of her worries materialized.

The Gu family, like Gu Minghe, adored Pei Huaixue.

They were happier than anyone to see Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe marry.

Gu Minghe also continued to treat Pei Huaixue as well as ever.

Gradually, Pei Mama stopped worrying about the young couple.

Then—

She saw Pei Huaixue go on a dating show and start dating someone else!

Soon after, Gu Minghe followed, and the atmosphere between the two on the show was strange, looking like they had fought and were sulking.

Pei Mama was very worried, but she couldn’t ask directly since they were filming. She had to ask her in-laws if they knew what was happening.

That was when she heard the news of their divorce.

Pei Mama felt like she had been struck by lightning.

So, the thing she had worried about had finally happened?

The elevator door opened, and Pei Huaixue expertly walked to the front door and entered the lock code.

“Password error, please re-enter.”

Huh?

Pei Huaixue scratched his head. “How could it be wrong?”

“Did you remember it incorrectly?” Gu Minghe frowned. He watched Pei Huaixue enter it again; it was correct.

Pei Huaixue had no choice but to ring the doorbell. After a long while—so long that Pei Huaixue thought his mother wasn’t home and was about to call her—the door finally opened.

Pei Jing looked at the two returnees expressionlessly, forcing an awkward smile. “You finally decided to come back?”

Pei Huaixue’s heart skipped a beat. The pressure from his mother made him nervous, and he instinctively hid behind his husband.

Mom wouldn’t dare confront his husband. After all, Gu Minghe was the young master of the family they once served, and Mom still respected that status.

Gu Minghe also smiled and shielded his wife. “Mom, it’s your birthday today. Xiaoxue and I came back to see you.”

“Please, Second Young Master, don’t call me Mom. I don’t deserve it.” Pei Jing indeed found it hard to confront Gu Minghe. Her tone was polite but distant.

Now that Gu Minghe had divorced her son, she felt too embarrassed to let him call her Mom.

In Pei Jing’s mind, she subconsciously believed that Gu Minghe must have done something wrong to her son for them to divorce.

Otherwise, why would Gu Minghe be so humble and submissive to Pei Huaixue on the dating show? It clearly looked like he was begging for forgiveness.

The sincerity of the wealthy was always fickle, and she dared not believe that Gu Minghe would love Pei Huaixue forever.

She knew her son well. He only had a beautiful face, but his temperament was delicate and spoiled—not something an ordinary person could tolerate.

When Gu Minghe liked him, his spoiled nature was the icing on the cake. When he stopped liking him, it would surely become irritating. Only she, his mother, could tolerate it forever.

She did not have high hopes for Gu Minghe as a husband.

Gu Minghe met Pei Jing’s scrutinizing gaze without flinching.

He seemed to understand Pei Jing’s thoughts and smiled. “Mom, Xiaoxue and I just had a little spat before. We’ve made up now, so please don’t overthink it.”

Pei Huaixue poked his head out from behind Gu Minghe and nodded. “It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Mom, just let me in. I’m still sick.”

As he spoke, he coughed lightly a few times.

When Pei Jing heard that Pei Huaixue was sick, she immediately forgot her anger. She quickly let him in, then tightly closed all the doors and windows, afraid that even a slight draft would worsen her son’s condition.

“Why are you sick again, child? Did you not wear thermal underwear and catch a chill? How many times have I told you not to worry about looking good and skip the thermals? Minghe, you too! Why do you indulge him?” Pei Jing scolded Pei Huaixue a few times, then returned to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of freshly brewed chicken soup.

“I knew you two would come back today. Mom made chicken soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Pei Huaixue grinned. “Thank you, Mom.”

Gu Minghe also said in a deep voice, “Thank you, Mom.”

Pei Jing sighed. “You two… I really can’t manage you anymore.”

Gu Minghe blew on the steaming chicken soup and fed Pei Huaixue spoonful by spoonful. “Be careful, it’s hot.”

While feeding him, he didn’t forget to say, “It’s my fault for not taking good care of Xiaoxue, which is why he got sick. Mom, don’t worry, I’ll make him wear thermal underwear when we get back.”

“Ah…” Pei Huaixue’s face fell.

He secretly pinched Gu Minghe’s waist. “You bad guy! Why are you helping my mom instead of me? Who is your baby?”

Gu Minghe smiled. “You are.”

Pei Huaixue glared at him. “Then why did you…”

“I was just fooling her. I know you don’t like wearing thermals. When have I ever forced you to wear them?” Gu Minghe lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear.

Pei Huaixue finally nodded in satisfaction. “My husband is the best.”

The netizens in the live stream were overwhelmed by the sweetness.

– As expected of childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Going back to the sweetheart’s house is like going back to their own, not awkward at all.

– Pei Mama is clearly used to their way of interacting; she doesn’t seem surprised at all.

– Hahaha Pei Mama accepted the fact that they are dating again so quickly.

– CEO Gu calling her Mom is hilarious. Pei Mama looks so disgusted, lol.

– They really don’t have the atmosphere of a newly dating couple at all; they are completely like an old married couple. They don’t even have the nervousness of meeting the parents.

– Did I just hear Pei Huaixue call Gu Minghe ‘Husband’?

– Xuexue Wife, be reserved! How can you call him Husband already! Gu Minghe must be ecstatic!

After drinking the chicken soup, the cake Pei Huaixue ordered arrived.

The two of them lit the candles together and sang the birthday song to celebrate their mother’s birthday.

Although they never missed Pei Jing’s birthday every year, Pei Jing was still moved to tears.

She silently made a wish: “I hope the feelings between my two sons remain strong, and I hope everything goes smoothly.”
