Only married but not in love: Ex-wife, see you tonight!

Chapter 396
If she was still thinking wildly because of the sudden change of life experience before, these three words completely settled her heart.

That's right, no matter what she thinks, Shi Yan knows it. As long as they are still together, what does it matter if she is from the Ruan family or the Pei family?After all, Shi Yan will accompany her to break through.

The next few days were peaceful, and Ruan Anxi even felt that Mr. Pei should have understood her choice that day and would no longer force her to go back to Pei's house. Her mood gradually became more relaxed. She made an appointment for a set of themed photos, and she didn't have the extra thought to devote to this matter.

But compared to her, Pei Jingchen became more and more anxious.

He really couldn't understand what old man Pei was thinking. He seemed to like Ruan Anxi very much that day, but the next morning, he went out to enjoy the garden and walk the birds as if nothing had happened. He didn't mention Ruan Anxi in a word these days. Instead, he was asked about Pei Jinwei before going to work today.

Could it be that he really felt that blood relationship was inferior to 20 years of upbringing, and planned to get Pei Jinwei back?

This idea was suppressed by Pei Jingchen as soon as it came up. If that's the case, he was also raised by the old man himself. Then the old man just handed over the company to him. Why bother to let him marry Pei Jinwei?
This thought turned around in his mind, and Pei Jingchen couldn't bear the current situation of no progress. After get off work, he went to the mall to buy a box of toys and then went to the address left by Ruan Anxi.

The big reason why he didn't go to Ruan Anxi often was because he was afraid that the old man would see his thoughts from it, but now that Ruan Anxi's status is different, this worry has been alleviated a lot.

Although Ruan Anxi said that the place she lives in is not very spacious when the two were chatting earlier, Pei Jingchen didn't expect it to be so crowded—a small house with one bedroom and one living room is just right for the mother and daughter to live in. It looks a bit crowded.

Ruan Xiaobei hadn't seen Pei Jingchen for a long time, but now she was very excited to see him. After taking the toy, she rushed to play. Then Pei Jingchen asked Ruan Anxi, "Why do you live in this kind of place? Shi Yan treats you like this?"

Although I always knew that Ruan Anxi was with Shi Yan, the fact that Shi Yan rushed into his house and took him away forcibly made Pei Jingchen a little uncomfortable. Now that he saw the cramped space, he immediately shifted the responsibility to the other party. .

Ruan Anxi shook her head hurriedly: "It's because Xiaobei is not in a good state. I think a change of environment may be good for her recovery."

She explained the reason why Xiaobei needs to leave the "safest" space to recover better. When Pei Jingchen said that she could move to Pei's house, she said, "This house can ensure that Xiaobei can always see me. I will be afraid" and blocked it on the grounds that this topic was brought to light.

Xiaobei has already taken out the jigsaw puzzle at this moment, and happily called Pei Jingchen to put it together: "Let's finish the puzzle and eat cake together!"

Pei Jingchen really likes this child, and what happened to Pei Jinwei made him feel a little guilty, so now he is more gentle and patient with Xiaobei: "Xiaobei wants to eat cake? You can play with uncle and go buy it first, okay?" ?”

"no, I'm fine!"

Xiao Douding hugged Pei Jingchen's leg directly: "Mommy made it herself, we can eat it after we put it together."

After finishing speaking, he went to look at Ruan Anxi again: "Right, Mommy?"

Ruan Anxi really didn't want Pei Jingchen to stay here for too long, but Xiaobei had already said it out, and it would not be good for her to drive people away, so she could only smile and nod: "Xiaobei said that he wants to eat strawberry cake, I plan to make it myself One, let's eat together later."

Naturally, Pei Jingchen would not refuse, and the cake was quickly brought out. Although there was no fancy decoration, and even the cream was just a thin layer, but I don't know if it was because of psychological reasons or what, Pei Jingchen, who seldom eats sweets, actually felt that not bad.

With a thought in his heart, he stared at a corner of the cake on his plate and said, "I didn't remember much when Madam Pei left, but the few memories I had were all related to the desserts she made."

Ruan Anxi didn't know what to say for a while, but Pei Jingchen immediately said, "Can I...cough, take some of this cake back?"

Although the two of them are considered friends, Pei Jingchen's childhood tutor still made him a little embarrassed when he asked for "take it after eating". Ruan Anxi didn't expect him to say that at all, although she nodded subconsciously, she still nodded. Can't help asking: "Why don't I remember that you like cakes so much?"

While talking, she had already brought the box over, and after leaving some for Xiao Douding, she was about to put the rest in, but was stopped by Pei Jingchen: "Just cut a little bit, but it's not really..."

Not sure what Ruan Anxi's attitude is towards Mr. Pei now, Pei Jingchen just concealed his true thoughts, and said instead: "I just think of Mrs. Pei, and I just want to have something to think about."

Although he was brought into Pei's house later, Mrs. Pei has a gentle temperament, and rarely treats him very well when she stays in Pei's house, so this reason can be regarded as sincere.

Ruan Anxi didn't think too much, cut a piece of cake and wrapped it up as he said, Pei Jingchen played with Xiaobei for a while and left in a hurry.

When he returned to Pei's house, the old man just entered the door. Pei Jingchen reported the recent work plan to the other party as usual, and then took out the cake: "Would you like to try it?"

Mr. Pei has liked sweets since he was young, but unfortunately, since his son and daughter-in-law left more than ten years ago, every time he eats sweets, he will think about others. Therefore, seeing Pei Jingchen bring home a cake this time, he couldn't help being a little surprised: " Where did it come from?"

The appearance obviously didn't look like the one in the cake shop, Pei Jingchen said directly: "Xiao Xi made it. He said that he remembered that you liked sweets when he was hospitalized last time, so he specially asked me to bring it back for you to taste."

If he hadn't come back in a hurry to improve Ruan Anxi's favorability in front of the old man, how could he come back so soon today.

The old man glanced at the cake, then turned to look at Pei Jingchen, with obvious doubts in his eyes: "That girl really brought it up on her own initiative?"

Pei Jingchen smiled and nodded against the pressure: "You can see this. Actually, I told her that you like this, but the cake was indeed made by Xiaoxi herself, and she offered to give you a taste of it!"

This is much more reliable than the words just now. The old man snorted and turned his eyes back to the cake. Just when Pei Jingchen thought that today's plan had failed, the old man finally said, "Then cut a little and taste it."

It's no wonder that he doubts Pei Jingchen's words so much. It's because Ruan Anxi was very repulsive to this family and his attitude last time. Although she doesn't know how she offended the other party, she hasn't had any contact these days. How could the other party's attitude change so quickly? ?

It was precisely because he felt Ruan Anxi's rejection that after she left, the old man calmed down and began to consider whether to let her recognize her ancestors and return to Pei's house.

After all, the other party has close contacts with Shi's family now, if he just came to Pei's house under the guise of "going home" to help send news to Shi Yan, it would be troublesome.

His own granddaughter can't be beaten or scolded, but if the child really does this, he really can't be taken lightly. Under the entanglement, the old man even gradually came up with the idea of ​​taking Pei Jinwei back.

Until today Pei Jingchen came back with this cake.

Although the other party didn't remember her hobbies, the two of them only met a few times. This is not a big mistake. In addition, Ruan Anxi was willing to take the initiative to send things to herself. Doesn't it mean that she is not completely resistant to herself in her heart? of.

His own granddaughter is expected to return home, so the old man naturally doesn't want to bring the "replacement" back.

Pei Jingchen didn't expect the old man to think so much, but looking at him, he knew that his plan was not in vain. At least it made the old man have a better impression of Ruan Anxi, and the possibility of Ruan Anxi returning to Pei's house was even greater.

In the final analysis, whether Ruan Anxi wants to go back to Pei's house or not depends on the old man's wishes. Even if Ruan Anxi really doesn't want to come back, as long as the old man says something, she can't just pretend that she didn't hear it.

With this successful precedent, Pei Jingchen actively became a "communication bridge" between the grandfather and grandson for a while, and took the opportunity to say a lot of good things about Ruan Anxi in front of the old man. Seeing the expression on the old man's face, the old man's attitude towards Ruan Anxi gradually became better and better, and he even invited Ruan Anxi to visit Pei's house a few times.

The old man came to invite him personally, so Ruan Anxi naturally had to give face, so even if she didn't want to, she could only take Xiaobei there. Fortunately, she didn't meet Pei Jinwei twice in a row, which made her a little relieved.

Everything here is getting better and better, but Pei Jinwei is a little impatient.

She was too shocked because she overheard the news. After all, anyone who knows that the "home" she has been attached to for more than 20 years is not her real home will collapse. Under extreme emotions, she has no time to think about anything. After seeing the old man, she subconsciously ran out.

After driving around the city aimlessly, her mood gradually calmed down, but she didn't go back immediately.

Now that Pei Jingchen has found out about these things, she might be merciless towards her "sister", but she can be sure that Mr. Pei will not give up on her.

In any case, she was brought up by the old man. After his son and daughter-in-law left, the old man poured all his feelings into her granddaughter, and she also treated the old man—at least on the surface. Blood relationship, the old man will not abandon the feelings of these years.

Having consciously figured this out, Pei Jinwei was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he took this opportunity of leaving home as a matter of course to go around Q City, and then boarded the plane to Hawaii.

Some things are cherished only after they are lost. If she keeps dangling in front of the old man, or cries and cries that she doesn't want to leave Pei's house, old man Pei may still find her annoying, but if she disappears from the other party's life for a while, The old man can already know the benefits of having her as a granddaughter.
