When Pei Yaochen and his group arrived at the main entrance, the guards at the entrance hurried to welcome them and asked uneasily: "Are you going out in such a bad weather? "But why not?"
Pei Yaochen waved his hands and said simply: "Open the door!"
She was wearing a thin, plain black coat, gray snow boots, and a pink woolen scarf wrapped around her head, revealing only her dexterous eyes.
The girl raised her head timidly. Her bright eyes were like that of a frightened fawn.
Seeing such a familiar face, Pei Yaochen's heart started to tremble violently. His hands became weak, and he was actually unable to hold the child.
The child took the opportunity to jump down from his arms, jumping up to the girl and forcefully holding her hand. He raised his head and asked, "Can you squat down?"
"Alright." The girl gently responded, stretched out her hand and affectionately pinched his cheek, then slowly squatted down.
The child threw himself into her arms and hugged her tightly. He buried his face in her neck and kissed her deeply before finally pushing her away in disappointment. He shook his head. "You don't smell like your mother."
These words made Pei Yaochen, who was drowning in the past, suddenly perk up. He grabbed the child's hand and turned around, and coldly said, "Give her a sum of money, and let her properly return to her life!"
"Alright." The butler agreed and was about to give the girl the money, but the child suddenly shook off Pei Yaochen's hand and held the girl's hand tightly, "No! You stay! You don't smell like your mother, but you do have her eyes. I want you to stay and be my mother! "
The girl looked at Pei Yaochen uneasily, and said softly: "Since you are so cute, of course I would be willing. But it's up to your father to decide. "
The child turned and looked at Pei Yaochen, begging him with a face, "Father!"
Pei Yaochen slowly turned around and walked in front of the girl, staring at her without saying a word.
The girl felt uneasy. Her whole body could not help but tremble. Her head was getting lower and lower. It was as if she wanted to stuff her head into her bosom.
After a long time, she heard his bone-chilling voice, "Raise your head."
She obediently raised her head, but her eyes were lowered, and she had a panicked expression on her face.
A long, bony hand reached under her eyes and pulled gently, pulling the scarf off her face.
A gust of wind blew against her face, causing her to flinch.
Looking at that young and beautiful face, Pei Yaochen's feelings were indescribably complicated.
God must be playing tricks on him.
She actually brought such a girl to his side. She had the exact same eyes and eyebrows as Xia Zhi.
The reason why he wasn't like Mo Yanqiu, was because Mo Yanqiu's eyes were forever filled with gentleness, like a pool of soft spring water, making others wish they could indulge in it forever.
Although this girl's eyes looked like Mo Yanqiu's, there was a hint of pride and stubbornness in her eyes that was similar to Xia Zhi's.
No, no, no! Not exactly.
Behind these eyes, there seemed to be something hidden, but he was still unable to see through it.
But no matter what, these were the pair of eyes that looked the most like Xia Zhi's.
What shocked him the most was that the child actually fell for her at first glance, but also clearly stated that this girl was not the mother he wanted.
He said she didn't smell like her mother.
What did this mean?
Had Xia Zhi really appeared in his dreams?
This was the so-called telepathic connection. Even though the mother and son were separated by Yin and Yang, could they really meet in a dream?
When he thought about how his child could really hug, kiss and sleep on the same bed with Xia Zhi when they meet, he felt an inexplicable sense of jealousy in his heart.
However, as soon as this thought invaded his mind, he ruthlessly rejected it.
If he was the one who betrayed her, then what more could he expect?
Even if she loved him as she used to, he wouldn't have the face to accept it.
He wasn't worthy!
He took a deep breath and looked at the expectant child. Slowly squatting down, he asked gently, "Are you sure you want her to be your mother?"
The child nodded vigorously. "She has her mother's eyes."
"Very well. We'll take her home! " Pei Yaochen reached out to hug him.
The child hugged the girl, "I want my mother to hug me."
Pei Yaochen looked at the girl coldly.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then she picked up the child and walked on in silence.
Pei Yaochen waved his hand, and a servant immediately ran forward to help him hold the umbrella.
Gazing at the distant figure of the figure, Pei Yaochen did not move for a long time. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.
It seemed like he and Xia Zhi would never get along well in this life.
To completely forget her was truly too difficult.
Not even the heavens would allow it.
It was him who had committed too many sins …
At this moment, Xie Ziyi, who was carrying the child, walked forward with her head lowered and her heart pounding.
Things had gone even more smoothly than he had expected.
She had originally thought that she would more or less suffer some hindrance and that she would have to spend a lot of effort to curry favor with her child. She hadn't thought that the child would be so intimate with her the moment he asked her to stay.
The reason was so simple that she was secretly pleased with herself. She accidentally made some minor adjustments to her eyes and eyebrows, but she didn't expect to hit him in the nick of time.
The heavens were too kind to her!
However, despite everything going smoothly, she still felt uneasy.
She did not miss the sharp look that Pei Yaochen had in his eyes the moment he saw her.
This expression reminded her of his methods.
He was also alert to the fact that she had to do everything with care, not to be careless, or else he might throw her into the sanatorium as mercilessly as he had done last time, and live his life as a corpse once more.
Back in the house, when Madam Pei saw her, she was also stunned and displeased.
Those eyes made her think of Mo Yanqiu. She really didn't have a good impression of that woman who made her son unable to walk out of there.
However, when he saw the child's happy appearance, he didn't know what to say.
Xie Ziyi saw that Old Mistress Pei was frowning and quickly went forward to bow to her respectfully. She then said softly, "Greetings Old Mistress."
This voice, however, gave Madam Pei an inexplicable shock. She felt that this girl's cultivation was simply too profound.
She always wore simple clothes, almost no different from a servant.
Most of the girls who had accepted her in the past few months treated her like an old woman, and when they saw her nod her head slightly, they didn't even want to speak much, let alone bow to her.
He didn't expect her to be so incredible, to be able to tell his true identity with a single glance. On the surface, this kind of girl might seem pure and innocent, but in reality, it was hard to tell how shrewd she was.
If he were to become the head of the Pei household, it was unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
Old Madam Pei's heart was filled with worry, but she still maintained her gentleness. "There is no need for such a big bow." Have you had breakfast? If not, then just come with us! "
The child also happily cried out, "That's right! That's right!" Let's have breakfast together! I'm so hungry! "Hurry up and come!"
As he said that, he pulled Xie Ziyi and ran towards the dining hall.
Looking at their backs, Madam Pei's brows creased little by little.
Pei Yaochen came to her side and asked indifferently: "Do you like her?"
Old Mistress Pei hurriedly laughed, "Of course I like it." Of course I like people whom children choose! But you, do you like it? "
"It doesn't matter if I like it or not. As long as you and the child like it. " Pei Yaochen remained calm and collected.
Madam Pei sighed, "If you decide to let her stay, then treat her well. Heart to heart is the best solution to all conflicts and disputes. "Don't ever try to cover your heart like you did before and show it to others. If you do, you'll be the one to get hurt in the end, understand?"
"I will work hard."
"Alright. Let's not talk too much. Eat! " Madam Pei held his hand lovingly.
When they were eating, almost everyone's attention was focused on the child and Xie Ziyi.
The child was in Xie Ziyi's embrace, twisting and turning like a snake, hugging and kissing her fiercely from time to time. The brilliant smile on his face warmed up everyone's heart.
Xie Ziyi also performed well, patiently feeding the child.
Carefully remove the fish bone and put it into the child's mouth.
For the first time in his life, the child did not refuse, and he almost ate a steamed bass.
Old Mistress Pei was delighted because the child did not like to eat fish from birth and said that she did not like the smell of fish.
But this time, he ate with relish.
This caused her vigilance towards Xie Ziyi to lessen by quite a bit.
After the meal, the atmosphere in the house became noticeably warmer.
Right after they finished eating, the child excitedly pulled Xie Ziyi upstairs, saying that he would take her for a tour, and also let her play jigsaw puzzle together.
Xie Ziyi looked at Pei Yaochen who had been silent the whole time, "Is this appropriate?"
Pei Yaochen nodded lightly, "It's suitable. From now on, you should consider yourself as a member of this family! "
"That's it?" Xie Ziyi opened her eyes innocently.
"Don't worry." I'll give you a wedding. I, Pei Yaochen, will not be so hasty upon taking a wife, nor will I treat you unfairly! "
"Uh. That's not what I meant. " Xie Ziyi shook his hand uneasily.
