He held her by the shoulders and held her soft hair in one hand. "She fell asleep while her hair was still wet?"

"Hm." Originally, he was going to blow his hair, but he was too distracted to do so.

He pressed her down in front of the dressing table. Nightingale picked up the bellows, turned on the gentle breeze, and helped her raise her hair.

The blow-pipe was silent. If it wasn't for his hair fluttering in the wind, he wouldn't have been able to feel that the blow-pipe was working.

It was unknown if it was because of the blow-dryer, but Pei Qingcheng could smell the faint scent of the hospital's medicine.

The question that had been churning in her mind suddenly popped out. She hadn't intended to ask it, but now she asked it without thinking.

"Where did you go at night?"

Her hair was still flying. "Gold Coast," she said.

He didn't lie, but his words were vague.

Pei Qingcheng took a deep breath and took the opportunity to ask, "Where is the Gold Coast?"

"A private hospital."

"What for?"

Nightingale's hand that had helped to blow her hair stopped. She placed both hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes in the mirror. "Sick visit."

"Who is it?"

He must be like a toothpaste, she asked.

Ye Wen was silent for a moment. His eyes were hidden in the hair that hung down his forehead. "A friend."

"Men and women?"

"Inclined." Ye Wen's tired voice sounded a little weak in the wind blowing at him, as if he would be blown away at any moment. "Perhaps one day, I will tell you this answer, but perhaps not."

"Why?"

"Any choice I make for you is for your own good."

"You are too arbitrary." Pei Qingcheng sighed. However, she knew that Ye Wen would not say anything. It would be useless if she continued asking.

She gave up and her hair dried. "I'm going to sleep."

Then she walked away from him and lay down on the bed.

That person from the private hospital should be related to her. Just who was he?

She already knew the whereabouts of those close to her, and she didn't have any other friends.

There was the sound of water in the bathroom, and Ye Wen was taking a shower.

She rolled over and pulled the covers over her head.

When Ye Wen was tired and asleep, Pei Qingcheng was still conscious. She could feel that his movements were quite gentle and that his huge body was lying beside her. The bed only trembled slightly.

However, he heard the sound of his slightly heavy breathing. He couldn't help but turn around and glance at him, only to see that his brows were tightly knitted as he held his hand to his chest.

"Is your wound hurting?" Pei Qingcheng asked softly.

"A little." He opened his arms wide and pulled Pei Qingcheng into his embrace.

His body had the faint fragrance of the bath fluid. After smelling it, his body would feel tranquil, and he would gradually fall asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, NightAndDay was no longer by his side.

Did he go back to the hospital or to the company?

He sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then got up, washed up, changed, and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

The madame was already having breakfast at the dining table. Before Nightingale had left, the grandfather and grandson had already eaten breakfast together in silence.

"Grandmother." Pei Qingcheng yelled as she sat down beside the madame.

The madame looked up and smiled at her. "Oh, you slept well last night. There are no more dark circles under your eyes. Sleep is the best beauty potion for women."

Pei Qingcheng smiled as she lifted the bowl of milk and took a sip.

Just as she was about to pick up the omelet, the madame suddenly cried out, "Did you forget something in the morning?"

"What?" Pei Qingcheng did not understand what was going on as she bit her fork and looked at the madame.

"Morning kiss of the newlyweds!" The old mistress slapped her thigh, suddenly enlightened. "Although you had held the ceremony two years ago, we've only been living together recently. Isn't this considered a new marriage?" How can you not have a kiss in the morning? "

There were so many things about the madame that Pei Qingcheng felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head to eat.

However, the old mistress did not let him go. She used her fork to knock on his plate, "Hey, as a man, are you going to take the initiative? Don't tell me you want my grandson to kiss you?"

Nightingale lowered her eyes and drank his porridge. With the radish pickle in her mouth, she said, "Old granny, stop messing around."

I knew you were a poker face, every time. My grandson's wife was so beautiful and cute, yet you didn't even have a good morning kiss. I've been married to your grandfather for decades, and every morning we have a good morning kiss, a good night kiss, and a goodbye kiss.

"So, grandpa had a heart attack very early on." Nightingale finished her porridge and wiped her mouth with a tissue, easily avoiding the old mistress' spoon.

"You bad boy!" The old man huffed and puffed in anger, "I'll have your grandfather settle the score with you tonight in your dreams!"

In truth, the madame had been causing a ruckus the entire time. If she wanted to cause trouble, Pei Qingcheng did not have to bother about her.

However, she did not know what she was thinking. She suddenly stood up, neared Nightfall, bent down, and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Good morning."

The madame immediately broke into a smile. Before Pei Qingcheng could straighten herself out, the madame shook her head like a rattle, "How can face be used here!" She pointed to her lips.

While Pei Qingcheng was still in a daze, Ye Wen lifted his head and gave her a quick peck on her lips, "Good morning."

After the ceremony was over, Pei Qingcheng returned to her seat as a warm feeling continued to radiate from her cheeks.

Only then did the old mistress calm down and get up contently. "You two eat slowly. I'll go take a look around the garden and wait for you at the door."

Wait at the door, where are you going?

Pei Qingcheng lifted her head and saw that the madame had already walked out of the dining hall. She just so happened to meet Ye Wen's tired gaze.

He hurriedly lowered his head as if he was trying to explain something intentionally. After saying that, he felt that it was done deliberately. "I think I can do what you told me yesterday."

"Hmm?"

"Pretend to love you, in front of Grandma."

With that, he buried his face in the rice straw bowl.

Honestly speaking, the instant that Pei Qingcheng kissed him, he truly felt blissful. Although he knew that all of this was done for his grandmother to see.

What did she just say?

She could do it, pretend to love him.

Yes, it was all an act.

However, her willingness to pretend was already a big step forward in their relationship.

When Pei Qingcheng had finished her breakfast, Housekeeper Hu had already brought her coat over. The woman from before helped her to put it on.

"The car is ready." Housekeeper Hu said to Ye Xiu.

"Yes." Ye Wen extended his hand towards Pei Qingcheng, "Let's go!"

Although she had her doubts, Pei Qingcheng still passed her hand over to him, "Go where?"

"To the hospital, to see my mother." Grasping Pei Qingcheng's hand, Ye Wen walked out the door.

"What happened to Mom?" Pei Qingcheng was startled. Was she referring to Madam Ye?

"Not my mother." Ye Wen slowly said.

"Huh?" Pei Qingcheng froze for a moment before she asked, "Are you going to the hospital to see my mother?"

"Well, ever since your mother was hospitalized, Grandma and the others haven't gone to visit."

"Grandma is going too?" This time, Pei Qingcheng was truly frightened, "My mother has been unconscious all this time, and doesn't know anything."

"Even more so." Ye Wen clenched his fist tightly, "Let's go!"

He was very uneasy because just now, Nightingale had said that Grandma and the others, which meant that it wasn't just Madam Ye. Could it be that both Mister Ye and Madam Ye were going?

The old mistress sat in the car and watched a variety show on TV. She was enjoying it tremendously.

"Good grandson, daughter-in-law, the variety shows now are really interesting. A toad is stuffed into a plastic container, and then the guests will blow on each other. That fat toad just blew on the beautiful woman's mouth, hahahaha." Old Mistress Ye was smiling from head to toe.

This sort of shameless variety show was good for the madame to pass her time, but she wasn't very interested in it. After watching it, she felt rather bored.

However, she also accompanied the old lady as she watched the show. The old lady laughed so hard that Ding Han could not help but turn around, "My lady, if you like this show, we will buy the title sponsorship rights and let these artists play the frog in front of you."

"Oh my, I feel a little disgusted even over the TV, don't watch them blow it in front of me." The old mistress waved her hand. "Ding Han, stop teasing me."

Ding Han turned around with a smile. With the Old Madam by her side, the unease in Pei Qingcheng's heart was slightly alleviated.

They arrived at the hospital. Before they got out of the car, they saw Madam Ye and Mr. Ye's car driving over.

Did they really come?

Maybe it was because of the madame's pressure that they came to visit her.

Pei Qingcheng was extremely nervous, and her palms were already sweating profusely.

Even though she knew that Madam Ye and Mister Ye were unwilling, they were forced to come. Pei Qingcheng felt that they might dislike her even more.

The door of the car was pulled open and Nightingale, who was slightly bent over, took her hand and said, "We're here."

After getting off the bus, he walked in front of Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye and bowed politely. "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, sorry to trouble you."

"Call me Mom and Dad." The madame walked over and stood beside Pei Qingcheng, "These two are your parents-in-law, there's no need to be so formal."

Raising her head to look at Madam Ye, she smiled and did not comment on the old lady's words. "Mother, you have taught us well, and now you have gone to a few of the younger generation."

"Let's go. Don't stand at the gate anymore. People are coming and going." The madame took Pei Qingcheng's hand and led her into the hospital.

Mom's ward had never been so lively before. Luckily, the VIP ward was spacious enough. If it was before, so many people wouldn't be able to stand up.

Mom looked fine. Ever since she changed to a new drug, her spirit seemed to have improved for the first time.

The old lady stood beside her mother's bed, wiping away her tears as she looked at it. "You call it kinship, but a favor is really shallow. After so long, this is the first time our family has come to visit you."

These words made black lines appear on the faces of Madam Ye and Mr. Ye.

However, after the incident with Pei Qingcheng's mother, Madam Ye and Mr. Ye had indeed not shown their faces.

Pei Qingcheng was understandable. The members of the Ye Clan did not agree with her decision to marry Ye Wen, but Ye Chen had already made up his mind.

Pei Qingcheng tidied up her mother's hair and pulled up the quilt. She then whispered into her ear, "Madam Ye, Mister Ye and Madam Ye have come to see you. Please get well."

"Mrs. Pei, this is the first time we have met, but I hope that the next time we meet, you will be healthy."

Lady Ye was generous and decent, and her tone was sincere.

Regardless of whether it was from the bottom of her heart, whether it was because she was forced to do it by Madam Ye or Ye Xiu, Pei Qingcheng was already very grateful.

They didn't need to do anything for her, did they?
