Chapter 817: It is Too Short, A Little Longer...

“Pei Huai has been absent-minded the whole day since you were away.” Pei Xi smiled and patted the spot beside her bed.

Su Ji also smiled and wanted to go over, but Pei Huai blocked her way.

He paused for a few seconds before he moved aside.

Su Ji sat on Pei Xi’s bed.

She found out that her goddaughter was still in the intensive care unit and was not there.

Su Ji first looked at Pei Xi’s condition.

With Pei Huai taking care of her, she was actually quite at ease. The link to the origin of this information resides within Nøv€lß¡n★

Pei Huai moved a chair and sat beside them.

Su Ji was back, and his gaze returned to her.

As soon as Su Ji got up, he asked her if she was thirsty. His reaction was very fast. Su Ji found it funny, but also felt that it was familiar.

Pei Huai wanted to pour her a glass of water, but Su Ji pushed him back to his seat with one hand, It was a simple action, but it was seductive, She said, “I’ll do it myself. I’m tired from sitting, so I’ll stretch.”

Although she had switched back, the pain from the bumpy ride on the horse seemed to still be there.

She couldn’t sit still.

Pei Huai watched her pour water and then watched her come back with the cup.

Su Ji had originally planned to sit back down beside Pei Xi’s bed, but when she brushed past Pei Huai, he grabbed her wrist. The man exerted force and she sat on his lap.

How strong was that force?

From standing to sitting down, the water level of the cup in Su Ji’s hand swayed slightly, but not a single drop spilled.

Pei Xi first looked at Pei Huai, blinked, and then looked at Su Ji.

For some reason, she felt that familiar feeling.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled. She also felt that it was strange.

Su Ji asked her what she was laughing about. Pei Xi said, “you clearly came to see me yesterday, but why do I feel like...we haven’t seen each other for a long time? I really miss you.”

Su Ji smiled. “A day apart feels like three years

She cleverly changed the topic. Pei Xi looked at her beautiful peach blossom eyes and was mesmerized by them.

But a few days ago, she didn’t feel this way.

But Pei Huai still said no. “It is too short, let’s make it longer.”

Listen to how greedy he was.

Su Ji chuckled and buried her fingers into his hair, combing it back.

Pei Huai pulled her into his arms again.

It didn’t matter if they didn’t kiss or just hugged.

Su Ji went to the intensive care unit to visit her goddaughter and said that she would video call Pei Xi.

In the end, the two of them had left the ward for more than ten minutes. Pei Xi held her phone in her hand and looked outside the door. She could clearly hear some sounds. Until now, let alone sending her a video call, the two of them had not even left the door of her ward!

After another five or six minutes, Su Ji finally remembered the serious matter and asked Pei Huai to lead the way for her.

Pei Huai said, “she’s not your goddaughter.”

Su Ji had both hands in her pockets. “If I say yes then it’s a yes.”

Although Pei Huai liked her being unreasonable when she was certain of something, he said, “that’s your niece.”

Su Ji glanced at him.

Standing outside the ICU, Su Ji pressed one hand against the transparent glass wall and the other hand subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.

So this was how a child was born. When she saw Pei Xi lying on the hospital bed just now, she was clearly very haggard, but she was in good spirits.

She had given half of her essence to the little guy in the incubator. It was something that could not be replenished no matter how much snow lotus and old ginseng she ate, but she was still willing to do it.

Mothers were all like this.

Pei Xi was like this, and so was Xu Mingzhi.

What about her?

Would she be like this too?

Pei Huai’s heart and eyes were filled with Su Ji and he did not notice anything else.

Later on, after the video call with Pei Xi ended and the image was cut off, Pei

Huai remembered to ask her, “did Bian Tong send you back?”

Logically speaking, that should be the case. However, he had not seen Bian Tong since then, and his phone was still switched off.

“Lawyer Bian?” However, when Su Ji heard his question, she looked at him strangely. “When I came back, I stood in the array. Those treasures were still on the ground. I put them back in my bag. They looked expensive, but...l’m the only one there.”

Pei Huai’s eyes froze for a moment.

“I didn’t see anyone else,” Su Ji confirmed once again. “I didn’t see Lavvyer

Bian....”
