"What about my hair? Is it chaos? " Mrs. Pei touched his hair worriedly.
"It's not chaotic." Everything was just right. "Mom, you're really beautiful." Pei Yaochen reached out and pulled Mrs. Pei into his embrace, then said in a low voice, "Father must be very happy to see you like this."
She slapped his hand away and said with a smile, "I'm in great health. I don't need your support if I can walk by myself!"
Mrs. Pei laughed and gently patted his cheeks, "Okay. Don't say anything more. Let's send your grandpa home! "
On this day, Mrs. Pei stayed in the cemetery for an entire day.
During this period, the butler was worried that her body might not be able to handle it and tried to persuade her to leave, but Pei Yaochen stopped him, and said softly: "She hasn't been able to properly chat with my father for so many years, it's not that she doesn't want to, but because there's hatred in her heart.
The butler sighed, "True." All these years, it has been hard for you and your mother. "
"We are not pitiful. The one who is truly pitiful is my father." Pei Yaochen sighed lightly as tears flickered in her eyes.
It was already evening when he returned to the sanatorium from the cemetery.
Pei Yaochen accompanied Mrs. Pei for dinner. Originally, he wanted to accompany her to chat, but Mrs. Pei said: "Don't accompany me here tonight. Go back to the hotel and rest. There's no need to come back tomorrow morning, just go back. He doesn't have a mother anymore. As a father, you must spend double of your time and energy to accompany him in educating him. You must not let him have any mental problems. Back then, I didn't do well enough to demonize your father, causing you to hate your father with me. In the end, your personality became a little paranoid. I regret it now. If I could do it again, I would not be so petty. I will definitely love you well and protect you well. I will cultivate you into a mentally healthy man. It's a pity that it's too late now, so I can only hope that the mistakes I made before will not happen again. "
Pei Yaochen heard it and felt all sorts of emotions, "I understand. "I'll pay attention."
"Yes." That's good. Okay. It's getting late, let's hurry up and go back! " Mrs. Pei urged.
"Let me accompany you for a while longer!" Pei Yaochen felt an indescribable reluctance to part.
This was a feeling that he had not experienced for many years.
All these years, under Pei Junshan's torture, he had forced himself to gradually become a cold and heartless person, and the last bit of softness in his heart was only reserved for the long-lost Mo Yanqiu.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to force Pei Junshan to submit obediently in the end, and finally, be able to persevere and not care about the longing in Xia Zhi's eyes, and choose to give up on her.
Even though he had been feeling uneasy at all times due to his guilt towards Xia Zhi for many days and nights, it had always been in his dreams. Whenever he woke up in the morning, he would logically cover up all his guilt towards Xia Zhi.
He thought he might live his whole life like this.
It was hard to imagine that he suddenly had a feeling that he hadn't felt in a long time. Was this good or bad?
He didn't know …
In the end, Pei Yaochen stayed by Mrs. Pei's side for another three hours or so, until Mrs. Pei was really sleepy, before he reluctantly got up and quietly left.
After returning to City L, he had the butler drive straight to Han Jing's home.
Once they got out of the carriage, Yang Yazhu and Han Jing had long been waiting at the door with the children in their arms.
"Daddy!" The child struggled to jump down from Han Jing's embrace and opened his chubby little hands into Pei Yaochen's embrace.
Pei Yaochen carried him and kissed him forcefully.
Because he hadn't shaved in a few days, his chin had grown a thick layer of stubble, which made the child's mouth open and laugh.
The two of them played with each other for a long time before stopping.
Pei Yaochen turned his head and bowed deeply towards Yang Yazhu, "Yazhu, I really have to thank you this time. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to walk for so long. "
Yang Yazhu smiled faintly, "You know, I'm not looking at you because of your face, I'm looking at my child's. I'm willing to do anything for my children. "
"Yes, yes, yes. But no matter what, I still want to thank you. " Pei Yaochen felt slightly awkward.
Han Jing anxiously tried to smooth things over, "Yazhu, so many years have passed since the incident started, don't keep dragging this on. Yao Chen, you finally came, don't even think about leaving immediately. I knew you were coming today, so I intentionally pushed away a few surgeries to let you have a day for us to get together. I even went to the supermarket to buy a lot of things that you and your kids love to eat. Come on, hurry up and go in.
"Of course I would. "However …" Pei Yaochen turned his head to look at Yang Yazhu, "Will you allow me to enter?"
Yang Yazhu smiled lightly, "Since my husband has invited you, of course I have no objections."
"Thank you." Pei Yaochen heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately walked in side by side with the child.
Han Jing invited Pei Yaochen to take a seat. Pei Yaochen hugged the child and sat him down, then habitually picked up the small bowl to help the child fill the soup. The child struggled to jump down from his embrace and ran to Yang Yazhu's side to sit down.
"Alright. Be good! "At least I have some conscience. I forgot about me before I saw your father!" Yang Yazhu pinched his cheeks in gratitude.
Although she hadn't been able to keep her promise to take him to see his mother, she had been taking care of the child like a real mother.
Firstly, he felt pity for him, and secondly, he felt guilty towards Xia Zhi, so he wanted to make some compensation.
There was indeed a reward for the amount of affection he had invested.
In this world, the ones who had the heart of a virgin were always naive children.
"I like Mama Yang!" The child spoke bluntly. Her beautiful face had two enchanting dimples, making her look indescribably adorable.
"I like you too, little darling!" Yang Yazhu said happily.
Seeing their interaction, Pei Yaochen couldn't help but laugh and say gently: "Since you guys like each other, then you should always walk around."
Yang Yazhu shrugged, "I have no problems. As long as you are willing, and your fiancee is willing as well. "
Hearing this, Pei Yaochen's expression became serious, and he said indifferently: "It's none of her business."
"Yo!" It seems like your Miss Shu is much more important than you. In that case, Xia Zhi is honored! " Yang Yazhu looked at him sarcastically.
Pei Yaochen's face changed greatly. He remained silent and only raised her cup to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
Han Jing frowned, he extended his leg and quietly kicked Yang Yazhu.
Yang Yazhu glared back at him, but still laughed: "I was just joking, don't mind me, it was a bit too much. Sorry. "As an apology, I will punish myself with three cups!"
"No need, no need. "I'm not as stingy as you think." Pei Yaochen anxiously said.
Yang Yazhu stood up and drank three cups of wine, wiping her lips with force, and laughed: "This wine tastes really good!"
"Is it really good? I want to drink too! " The child was inexplicably excited. He grabbed the bottle of wine on the table and was about to pour it into his mouth.
Yang Yazhu was so frightened that she anxiously grabbed the bottle of wine and said solemnly: "This is something only adults can drink! You're not even qualified to drink it! You can only drink fruit juice! "
"Oh!" The child obediently drank the juice.
Pei Yaochen saw that Yang Yazhu was able to control the child to the point that she was obedient. It was clear that the child really liked Yang Ya.
He thought that if Xia Zhi was here, then everything that she had right now would be perfect.
It was a pity that the heavens had to let him make his choice …
Just as he was thinking dumbfoundedly, Han Jing asked: "Yao Chen, why did you run back to New York so quickly this time? And for the first time ever, he couldn't even take care of his children. Yazhu said that when you left, he said that your mother's health wasn't too good.
Pei Yaochen sighed heavily, "There are indeed signs of a relapse. Before I got engaged, there were already signs. But in order to not worry me, I kept telling the butler to keep me in the dark and even went to the Thousand Buddha Temple to pray for the gods and buddhas, not wanting my illness to get worse. After I left the hospital, the housekeeper couldn't hide her illness any longer, so she told me quietly. I immediately went to the Thousand Blessings Temple. I found out that she was indeed in a bad condition, and she knew of her own illness, so she took the initiative to ask to be hospitalized in New York. "It really does work when I go back. I haven't taken any medicine, so my spirit is a lot better now."
"That's strange. Why did he suddenly become ill? It's been so many years since we've been together, and the condition has been repeated to the point where it's a little strange. Have you thought of any other reason that might have provoked your mother? " Han Jing reminded her.
