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

Chapter 74
"Why is it just a candy?" Xiaobei was a little disappointed, she thought it was something good!
"Hey——" the old man elongated his voice, his face full of mystery, "This is not an ordinary candy, but a candy that can help you realize your wishes!"

"Really?" Xiao Douding, who had been fooled twice, was obviously no longer credulous. He looked at the person on the bed suspiciously, and the old man simply sat up straight, "That's natural, tell me your wish, and see if it will come true." It won't happen."

Xiaobei hesitated for a while, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with expressing his wish, so he said seriously: "If you can really make your wish come true, I hope I can find my real father."

Although Shi Yan and Pei Jingchen were very kind to Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei still wanted to meet her real father.

After finishing speaking, thinking that I still don't know who my father is, I may feel that I am a bit demanding, so I hurriedly added: "It doesn't matter if you can't achieve it!"

Anyway, she already has a mother, so it doesn't seem to matter if this wish can come true... right?
When Ruan Anxi heard this, her expression turned dark.On the other hand, Mr. Pei looked at Ruan Anxi with a complicated expression. He never expected that this little girl's wish was this.

"You have a very interesting daughter." Feeling the subtlety of the atmosphere, the old man no longer just teased Xiao Bei, and smiled at Ruan Anxi.

"Thank you." Ruan Anxi smiled.

"I can give birth to such an interesting daughter, thanks to an interesting mother." Pei Ming said, reaching out to Ruan Anxi, "Happy cooperation!"

Ruan Anxi didn't realize it at first, but later realized that what Pei Ming was talking about was that their partner was teasing Xiao Bei.

"Happy cooperation!" Ruan Anxi shook hands with Pei Ming graciously, and the previous sadness was swept away.

A character like Pei Ming has always given people the impression of being steady and refined. I didn't expect him to have such a childlike side. Ruan Anxi has changed from resisting contact at the beginning to not resisting now, and even looks forward to such an old man. What would you think about Beckham's question?

However, the old man didn't seem to intend to continue talking about that topic, but changed the topic.

"You didn't seem to know me before, why did you save me, so you weren't afraid that I would blackmail you?" Although the old man was in a coma before, he was still conscious, so he heard the conversation between Ruan Anxi and Xiao Bei.

Ruan Anxi shook her head subconsciously: "I didn't think so much at the time, I just did it naturally."

"I did this naturally", these words lingered in Pei Ming's mind for a while, how long had it been since I heard such words, there is no interest relationship, just out of the heart.

Pei Ming looked at Ruan Anxi with admiration in his eyes, and for some reason, he always felt that he hit it off with Ruan Anxi and hit it off right away.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei reached out and took the candy from Mr. Pei's hand.

"Xiaobei?" Ruan Anxi was a little surprised.

It was rare for Xiaobei to ignore her, and only looked at Mr. Pei with a serious expression: "Grandpa, do you have a disease called 'hypertension'?"

Mr. Pei became interested: "How do you know?"

Xiao Douding was a little proud: "I just heard from the doctor, and I read about this disease in a book. People with this disease can't eat candies."

"Then I don't have anything delicious to eat?" Old Master Pei's face instantly collapsed when he heard that.

Xiaobei couldn't bear to see Mr. Pei so sad, so he opened his schoolbag and took out an apple from it: "I'll exchange the apple for candy with you! This apple was given to me by Teacher Xiaoyu, and I'll give it to you now, Grandpa Get well soon!"

Xiaobei said, and brought the apple to Mr. Pei.

The shopping mall has been like a battlefield since ancient times. After all these years of scrambling in the shopping mall, Mr. Pei has never felt "moved" for a long time, and the little girl in front of him actually made him feel this long-lost feeling.

"Okay." Mr. Pei took the apple and smiled gently.

Ruan Anxi looked at Xiao Bei tenderly, her heart was soft.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the ward, and Ruan Anxi looked over subconsciously, only to find Mr. Driver standing in front of the door she hadn't closed tightly just now.

Seeing that Ruan Anxi saw him, the driver backed out again and closed the door behind him.

Knowing that the driver might have been urged by Shi Yan, Ruan Anxi didn't stay any longer, got up and took Xiaobei with him, and planned to say goodbye: "It's getting late, we should go back, you should have a good rest."

But I didn't want Mr. Pei to stop her: "Wait!"

Ruan Anxi stopped in surprise, and heard Mr. Pei ask, "What's your name?" The kindness of saving his life must be repaid.

Ruan Anxi naturally understood the meaning of Mr. Pei's words, but it was Mr. Pei who she saved, not his identity, so Ruan Anxi just smiled and said: "The name is just a title. You have a good rest. Let's go first."

Mr. Pei wanted to say something more, but it was useless to think about it, but his affection for the mother and daughter increased a lot.

Just when Ruan Anxi was about to open the door, there was a knock on the door. Before she could open the door, the door of the ward was hurriedly pushed open from the outside: "Grandpa!"

Ruan Anxi, who was standing behind the door, looked at the two people who barged in, and saw that the woman who had spoken in a hurry just now froze with worry on her face: "Why are you?"

"Xiao Xi!" The people who followed were also surprised, but there was more surprise in their eyes.

It was Pei Jingchen and Pei Jinwei who came.

Ruan Anxi was a little surprised at first, but then she thought that the person in the ward was Mr. Pei after all, so it was not surprising that they appeared here.

On the contrary, Pei Jinwei reacted even more. The surprise when he saw Ruan Anxi for the first time was filled with disgust: "Why are you here?"

"Xiaowei!" Afterwards, Old Master Pei realized that his granddaughter's tone was not good, and stopped him before he could think about it, but Pei Jinwei immediately covered up the disgust on his face when he heard the old man's voice, and ran to Old Master Pei with worry again: " What's wrong with you, Grandpa? I rushed over as soon as I received the call from the hospital, and I was really worried about dying."

Ruan Anxi was standing at the door, but was pushed by Pei Jinwei who had just rushed to the hospital bed and almost hit the door, but fortunately, Pei Jingchen stabilized her body in time.

"Are you okay?" Pei Jingchen looked at Ruan Anxi worriedly, the latter shook his head, retreated from Pei Jingchen without any trace, and said calmly, "Thank you."

Pei Jingchen obviously felt Ruan Anxi's alienation, and felt a little disappointed.

Although Ruan Anxi refused his help time and time again to let him understand that he may not be very important in the other party's heart, but he still has some extravagant expectations when he can't see each other, but last time Shi Yan's merciless scolding and this The alienation of Ruan Anxi the first time he met made him understand that he was afraid that it was really impossible.

No matter how bitter it was in his heart, Pei Jingchen still had his usual gentle smile on his face, and simply turned his attention to Xiao Douding next to him: "Long time no see, Xiaobei doesn't know me, right?"

Xiaobei was confused by the series of things just now, and then realized that he hurried to Pei Jingchen's side, and found Xin Dalu and shouted: "It's really Uncle Pei!"

Seeing Xiaobei's excited appearance, Pei Jingchen's smile couldn't help but be sincere: "Of course it's true."

"Uncle Pei Xiaobei hasn't seen you for a long time, Xiaobei misses you so much." Xiaobei looked at Pei Jingchen seriously, who couldn't help but hugged the child and pinched his face: "I miss Xiaobei very much too .”

He really missed, but not only Xiaobei, but also Ruan Anxi.

Pei Jingchen looked at Ruan Anxi with a complicated expression. The latter clearly felt his gaze, but kept his head down to avoid his gaze.

The old man over there comforted Pei Jinwei for a while before noticing the conversation between Pei Jingchen and Ruan Anxi's mother and daughter, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Do you know each other?"

Before the mother and daughter could speak, Pei Jingchen had already opened his mouth: "This is my friend. I didn't expect it to be Xiaoxi who saved grandpa. It's also fate."

In this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave again, and Xiao Bei is so happy to see Pei Jingchen, Ruan Anxi can't bear to leave so soon.

"I feel that I hit it off with you very well. It turns out that we are all from my own family." Mr. Pei was very happy.

"Indeed." Pei Jingchen especially agreed with the word "my family". The old man didn't expect such a surprise, and became more interested: "How do you know each other?"

Ruan Anxi was worried that Pei Jingchen would speak, so she hurriedly said: "I was a neighbor before, and Mr. Pei generously took care of Xiaobei for me for a while. Speaking of which, Mr. Pei is still my benefactor and Xiaobei."

Hearing Ruan Anxi yelling "Mr. Pei" one after another, Pei Jingchen felt that the smile on his face was gradually stiffening. If he didn't take into account that the old man was afraid of being seen, he would not be able to maintain his smile.

When did he and Ruan Anxi become so estranged?

"Yes, Uncle Pei is really nice!" Only Xiaobei didn't realize the subtlety of the atmosphere, and couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of the days at Pei Jingchen's place.

"Oh?" Mr. Pei looked at Xiaobei's appearance, curious, "It seems that Xiaochen treats you pretty well."

Xiao Bei vividly described: "Really! Uncle Pei gives me a lot of delicious food every day, and also plays with me, very happy!"

"Hahaha..." Only then did the old man realize that children's "good people" are always simple and pure. Thinking of how suspicious he was just now, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

It's really old, every time I hear a sentence, I have to think about the deep meaning in it, but I forget that some words have no deep meaning.

Pei Jingchen still didn't know that he escaped the old man's suspicion because of Xiao Bei's words just now, so he looked at Xiao Bei very dotingly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Bei likes Uncle's place so much, why don't you go back with Uncle again?"

Ruan Anxi couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and was about to speak up to object, but Pei Jinwei, who hadn't spoken much, cut her off: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"
