The steward smiled and said, "This is my duty, so you don't have to take it to heart. Take a good look at the calendar. This time there must be no regrets. "

"Yes, yes, yes. Let me have a good look. " Old Mistress Pei put on her reading glasses and began studying the situation.

"I'm fine. My body is strong! Besides, I want to go to the temple and take a look. " Old Mistress Pei sighed, "Perhaps with my prayers and kowtows, my uneasy heart will finally calm down."

Pei Yaochen laughed, "You make it sound so miraculous, I can't help but want to try it!"

Seeing that Old Mistress Pei was feeling really refreshed and happy, Pei Yaochen felt at ease.

"Hur hur. The abbot gave it to me for exclusive use. "If you want to taste it, then go ask for it yourself when you have time to go up the mountain!" Old Mistress Pei laughed heartily.

"Don't provoke me yet, who knows when I might go on a whim." Pei Yaochen supported her into the house.

Just as he sat down, a steaming hot towel was handed to him.

Old Mistress Pei looked up and saw a timid Xie Ziyi.

"Shu Ting, you've troubled yourself." Old Mistress Pei received it and smiled happily.

Xie Ziyi smiled and turned to enter the kitchen.

After a while, she brought out a cup of red dates and silver ear soup, "Madam, I know you're coming back today, so I went to the kitchen to stew this. The temperature is just right. Drink some water to moisten your throat!"

Old Mistress Pei nodded her head with a smile, "Alright." "You've worked hard."

"Grandma, I want to drink too!" The child appeared out of nowhere and climbed neatly onto Mrs. Pei's knee.

"Alright. Can we each have a bite? " Lady Pei hugged the child and kissed it a few times. Then, she picked up the spoon and began to eat the child one bite at a time.

Seeing this happy and harmonious scene, Pei Yaochen's heart grew softer and softer.

It had to be said that ever since the girl had arrived, this house had become more and more like a real home.

That's good, that's good.

As long as this scene could continue for a lifetime, it really didn't matter if he was happy or not.

He raised his head and looked at Xie Ziyi.

Xie Ziyi was also secretly looking at him, and when a pair of eyes looked at him, they immediately lowered their heads in panic, and the hands placed in front of them were once again twisted together.

Pei Yaochen frowned slightly, but did not say anything.

That night, Old Mistress Pei passed a piece of paper to Pei Yaochen.

Pei Yaochen looked and raised his head to ask, "What is this?"

"This is the date that the abbot of the Thousand Blessings Temple will help select. One is the date of your engagement, the other is the date of your marriage. "

"Two days so close?" Pei Yaochen inhaled a breath of cold air.

Although he had already made his decision long ago, when this moment truly arrived, he clearly felt the resistance in his heart.

"There are some things that cannot be delayed. Decide early and be good to your children. Furthermore, although Shu Ting was a little stingy, but from the past few days of observation, she seemed to be a kind and gentle girl. Such a girl, as long as you treat her well, you can form a happy family of three. No. Not three. Four or five. " Thinking that she would end up with a family of children, Madam Pei was so happy that her eyes were squinting.

Pei Yaochen frowned and said indifferently, "I will try my best to be good to her. But I don't want any more children. In this life, I only want one. Mom, if you don't like it, you can only be wronged. "

Old Mistress Pei gave a start before asking in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be too cruel to her?"

"It is indeed a bit cruel. So I'll talk to her later. "

Old Mistress Pei sighed, "Then you have a better attitude." The child finally feels motherly love, don't be so cruel to kill it in the shake blue. "

"Don't worry." I'll convince her. In this world, there is nothing that I, Pei Yaochen, am unable to do. " Pei Yaochen got up, "Mom, it's not early, you should rest early. I'll go talk to her. "

Old Mistress Pei looked at his back worriedly and shouted, "Be gentle! Don't be so simple and crude! "

Pei Yaochen waved and left without looking back.

At this moment, Xie Ziyi was lying in the darkness with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

She was rather impatient in her heart, and also deeply disgusted.

Because, ever since the butler told Bi Xi to pay attention to her, Bi Xi spent all her time not staring at her.

During the day, he would secretly follow her, and at night, even when he turned off the lights and went to sleep, he would sit beside her bed for half an hour and watch her closely.

I don't know what she'll find in her face.

However, even though she loathed Bi Xi, she had to force herself to endure.

Just as he was feeling extremely tormented, he suddenly heard a bang bang bang on the door.

This sound made Bi Xi quiver, and she immediately turned around and jumped onto the bed. Her actions were smooth and agile, which was completely out of proportion to his 150 jin body.

Xie Ziyi opened her eyes, turned around and switched on the light, then got off the bed and went to open the door. When she saw Pei Yaochen standing at the door, she could not help but be startled, lowering her head uncomfortably, and asked softly with a barely audible voice: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Pei Yaochen looked at her indifferently, "Follow me!"

He turned and walked away.

Xie Ziyi could vaguely guess what was going on. She could not help but feel elated, without hesitating, she anxiously closed the door and followed closely behind him.

Pei Yaochen sat down in front of the desk after entering the study room. He did not open his mouth to speak, but instead lowered his head and thought about something.

Xie Ziyi was not anxious, she just stood there quietly.

After a long while, Pei Yaochen finally moved.

He opened a drawer, threw a black card on the table, and said lightly, "This card can be used for shopping and tourism to help you achieve your dream. From now on, this card belongs to you. "

"I don't understand. You. Why did you give me this? " Xie Ziyi looked at him anxiously, "Are you trying to kick me out?"

"You misunderstand. I'm not trying to drive you away, I'm trying to make you stay and become my son's mother and my wife. " Pei Yaochen said in a deep voice.

"Is that so?" Xie Ziyi widened her eyes as the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, "I really like what you said. I've always wished I could say that from your mouth. Of course I would like to stay. I would like to be the mother of a child, and I would rather be your wife. Although I know that I am currently unqualified in every aspect, you can rest assured that I will definitely study hard and not disappoint you. I will make this family happier and happier! I swear! "But …"

She paused here, and reached out to push the black card in front of Pei Yaochen, "But I am willing to do all of this. I don't need that as a guarantee. You just have to pay the two hundred thousand dollars my father owes the hospital. "

Pei Yaochen said lightly: "For the two hundred thousand, I have already ordered the butler to send someone to the hospital to settle the debt. But you still have to keep this black card. Because I still have something to say. After I finish, you can decide whether or not to stay here. If you decide to stay, you can't go back on your word. If you go back on your word, I, Pei Yaochen, might do something that would make you very uncomfortable. Do you understand? "

"Understood. Speak! "

"This black card is your lifelong repayment for being able to accompany your child." "But …" Pei Yaochen paused, he was unable to say it out loud, because at this moment, Xia Zhi's disdainful and angry eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

If she had known, when she heard that he had used money to viciously beat up an innocent girl, she would have rushed out to beat him black and blue, right?

He remembered vividly that the last time he had used money to humiliate a young girl, she had mercilessly beaten him on the spot.

Xie Ziyi saw that he suddenly stopped talking, and her eyes seemed to drift off, as though she was lost in thought. She then reminded: "Mr. Pei? Please continue! But what? "

Pei Yaochen came back to reality and shook his head in annoyance, he calmed himself down and continued: "But this is not your reward for being my wife. Simply put, you and I are only husband and wife in terms of form. We are not truly husband and wife. We don't have to have those men and women between us, so you and I don't have to be in the same bed. Do I make myself clear? "

Xie Ziyi's face turned white, and she stammered: "You hate me? "Why?"

"I don't know." "Perhaps..." Pei Yaochen stared into her eyes and did not continue.
