    Chapter 127

    In the evening, Xu Zhiyi kept his promise and told his daughter a new story.

    “Which one should I listen to first?”

    She lined up the newly bought storybooks in front of her children. Watching the little cub crawling around, she wanted to lay her head on the cover.

    “Don’t get so close, it’s not good for your eyes.”

    He lifted his daughter up a little, but as expected she was met with a violent struggle.

    She sighed softly and was about to reason patiently when she suddenly saw the little boy waving his chubby hand and pointing at the storybook placed in the corner.

    “This one?”

    Before she finished speaking, Pei Nianxi, a child, rolled around and grabbed it in his hands, staring at her with extremely longing eyes.

    Seeing this, she couldn’t help but laugh, and took the book out of her daughter’s hand, “Okay, read this one.”

    The cover showed the Hero and the Demon King, which reminded her of the story she had just finished telling.

    “The baby wants to be a hero so much?” She opened the first page and deliberately teased the baby before starting to read, “Then you need to eat well, you know? You also need to go to bed early and get up early. Only with a good body can you defeat the devil.”

    The little boy blinked, wondering if he understood.

    Closing the storybook, Xu Zhiyi looked at her snoring daughter, slightly lost in thought.

    She remembered when she first met Pei Qingyan in kindergarten and asked him what books he liked. It turned out to be a textbook that she couldn’t read well.

    At that time, she thought the other party was very powerful.

    Later, she accidentally found the other person reading a picture book in the corner, engrossed in it and smiling unconsciously.But he didn’t come forward to expose it, but quietly wrote down the cover.

    When it was his birthday, she took out the pocket money she had secretly saved on weekdays and bought a book of the same series as a gift to him.

    To this day, she still remembers Pei Qingyan’s expression of being so happy that he wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back, so he pretended to be cold and thanked her.

    She couldn’t remember exactly what that book was about, but there was a “brave” appearing anyway.When she saw that her daughter also liked such picture books, she suddenly felt that genes are really powerful.

    At this time, it was just after ten o’clock, and Pei Qingyan had not returned yet.

    She looked at the word “OK” on her phone a few hours ago, and finally couldn’t help but ask the other person when they would finish their work.

    “One more thing. If my wife is tired, please go to bed first.”

    The woman responded quickly and told her that she had arranged for workers to install locks on the bedside table during the day tomorrow.

    Xu Zhiyi stared at the screen in a daze for a long time, and then suddenly came to his senses when he heard the beeping sound of the boiling kettle.She hurriedly washed the cup and brought the fruity tea to the bedside table.

    As usual, she left a small light for the other party. She closed her eyes, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

    For countless nights in the past, Pei Qingyan would hug her and whisper to her for a long time before falling asleep.

    She was used to the warmth of a woman’s embrace and the warm touch of skin against each other.

    Especially when she is pregnant, the other party will always find time to accompany her no matter how busy she is, and she will always turn down business trips regardless of whether they are long or short.

    Of course it would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.

    But she also knew that Pei Qingyan didn’t like to hear her say thank you, and would seriously correct her every time, “This is what I should do.”

    Once, Qian Hui asked her gossipingly in the tea room, “Is it difficult to marry into a wealthy family like the Pei family?”

    “No.” She replied without hesitation, and politely asked the other party not to ask such questions again in the future.

    Whether at home or at work, everyone calls her “Miss Xu” instead of Mrs. or Madam.

    She knew who was behind all this.

    The starting point is that she doesn’t like to be reduced to a vassal, even if it is just a verbal title.

    Almost every detail has been thought of.

    Xu Zhiyi is very satisfied with her current life. Sometimes she is even a little greedy, hoping that the happiness in front of her can last longer.

    Half asleep, she heard the sound of the cup being put down, almost inaudible.

    “Ayan, is the tea cold? Don’t drink it if it’s too cold.”

    Just as she was about to stand up, a familiar force came from her waist. She was held in the woman’s arms, and her hot breath brushed against her cheek.

    “Let me hug you for a while.”

    Sensing something wrong in his tone, she gently placed her hand on the woman’s slender knuckles without asking why.

    Pei Qingyan rarely showed his emotions like this.

    Most of the time, outsiders can’t tell what she’s thinking, and they can’t figure it out.

    After a long silence, the woman kissed her ear and said, “Honey, there are some changes in the acquisition project, and I was a little late in handling it…”

    “It’s okay,” Xu Zhiyi said softly to reassure the other party, “I’ll be waiting for you at home no matter how late.”

    She read the last sentence in a very low voice. As soon as she finished speaking, the woman threw herself into the soft mattress and exchanged an extremely lingering kiss.

    “Fortunately, my wife is here, otherwise I would be annoyed to death by all the things in the company.”

    Exhaling slowly, he lowered his head and licked the silver strands from her lips. Pei Qingyan’s complexion improved a lot, “Can the child really walk?”

    “Well, although I’m not very proficient yet, I can indeed walk.”

    Hearing the dubiousness in her tone, Xu Zhiyi quickly recounted the scene, “…I fell down at the end, but luckily I wasn’t hurt anywhere.”

    We also share the interesting things that happened while telling stories with each other.

    “My daughter is very similar to you when you were a child. She even reads the same books.”

    “Really.” The woman smiled lowly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes, “But I hope she is more like my wife.”

    “Why?”

    Xu Zhiyi was a little curious about the reason.But the next second, when the woman came over to bite her ear ambiguously, she punched her in shame and anger, “Don’t say…”

    “My wife is very soft and comfortable to hold.”

    The woman repeated it solemnly, and at the end, she compared it with, “It’s not like a child, who hugs his hands and always moves around.”

    “That’s because you spend too little time with her, and the child is afraid of strangers.”

    Xu Zhiyi huddled in her partner’s arms and retorted, “My daughter is obviously very well-behaved.”

    She especially likes to find parts of her children that she inherited from both of them.Sometimes, she herself couldn’t tell whether it was the so-called blood connection or the love for Pei Qingyan.

    “However, Ayan, when the child is a little older and sensible, I will tell her that there is a reason why you don’t have much time to spend with her.”

    “Wife, I——”

    Seeing that the woman was eager to say something, she made a shushing gesture and continued, “Don’t be burdened. I know that the company is your hard work and the inheritance of the Pei family for many years. Just concentrate on your work and don’t worry about anything else, okay?”

    Xu Zhiyi always felt that it was not necessary to distinguish clearly who contributed more or less to the family affairs.Although Pei Qingyan said she disliked her daughter most of the time, she learned that the early education provider she was looking for for her child had been personally interviewed one after another, and she immediately understood that the woman had always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

    “It just so happens that I haven’t been too busy recently, um…”

    The second half of the sentence was swallowed between the lips and teeth of the other party slightly fiercely.
