She'd be terrified of being a girl in that kind of place
The sudden weight on her body made Pei Qiyou hold her slender waist with both hands and said in a low voice: "Stop making trouble and come down."
"Let me smell it to see if it smells like a woman." She said and leaned down seriously, like a beautiful poodle leaning against his neck.
A burst of fresh fragrance lingered in his breath, and Pei Qiyou's irritable heart finally calmed down. He gently pushed her noisy head away, but she opened her mouth and bit him. He couldn't help but chuckle: "You
Is it a dog?"
She let go of his hand, squinted her eyes and barked twice like a puppy. Her delicate face under the light revealed a different kind of charm.
Pei Qiyou ruffled her curly hair in a good mood, "Does your family know you are back?"
When I picked her up from the airport yesterday, she directly said she wanted to stay in a hotel and didn't even mention a word about going home.
She got up from him, knelt down and sat on the edge, curling her lips: "Going home is like going to jail, just like my grandfather's old antique."
"Your grandpa?" With Pei Qiyou's eyesight from shopping malls these years, he could guess that her family background was unusual.
From yesterday to now, he has never asked her name. She only called him "Pei Qiyou" and "Pei Qiyou".
He sat up, his suit was a little wrinkled, and looked at her with a pair of deep eyes: "Pack it up, and I'll take you home to live."
"Oh, why are you just like my mother?" She muttered impatiently, but her big black and white eyes stared straight at him, then slowly drove over and grabbed it with her slender fingers.
The collar of his shirt, "It's been a long time since anyone cared about me this much."
The sudden softness between her brows and eyes touched the throbbing deep in his heart. Pei Qiyou raised his hand to caress her cheek, but she suddenly rushed towards him. There was a sudden warmth on his thin lips, and he wanted to push.
He reached out to hold her hand in the air but hugged her instead.
In the luxurious suite bedroom, the light was soft, the two of them were lying on the bed, she was leaning in his arms, playing with the buttons on his shirt.
"My name is Yu Yiwei, you remember, Yi from 'Cai Cai Yi Yi, Bo Yan Cai Zhi'; Wei from 'Blue brain floating ice, red Wei dyed dew'."

In the middle of the night, there was a muffled thunder outside. Bai Xiao did not sleep well, and the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat.
She had a dream. In the dream, there were scenes of her and Pei Qiyou chasing each other when they were children. There were scenes of the two of them being happy and nervous when they got married in Las Vegas. There was also a scene of her lying in the delivery room and having a hard time giving birth. The sound of thunder shook her head.
Gradually withdraw from this chaotic dream.
Drowsily, she felt something touching her cheek, very gently and carefully. Someone seemed to be sitting next to her, and a faint shadow fell on her body. A thunder sounded, and she woke up completely. Then,
The room lights came on.
"Are you scared?" Pei Qiyou sat next to her, with concern in his eyes. He took out a tissue to wipe her sweat.
Bai Xiao avoided his hand and took the tissue herself. Her voice was a little hoarse due to the sudden awakening, "Why are you here?"
"I heard your voice when I passed by your room. I thought something was wrong with you and came in to take a look. It turned out that you were just talking in your sleep."
Bai Xiao found that Pei Qiyou was still wearing his afternoon clothes, and he must have just come back from outside.
The wind blew through the gauze curtain in front of the balcony, and the room was dimly lit, except for the sound of thunder.
"You go out, I'm going to bed." Bai Xiao gave the order to expel the guest calmly.
Pei Qiyou's throat twitched, but he didn't get up immediately. He drooped his eyelids and looked at the floral quilt. After a while, he got up and went out.
Bai Xiao turned his head and looked at the closed room, leaned on his bed and closed his eyes.
——————————
Pei Qiyou came out of Bai Xiao's bedroom and went to the study instead of going back to the room.
The light was on in the study, and it was obvious that he had just left from here.
He sat on a chair and loosened his tie. The drawer of his desk was still open, and the things he had put in it a few days ago were no longer there.
——————————
The next day was the weekend. Bai Xiao got up early and took the luggage she packed before going to bed last night and left Pei's house.
"Are you really not going to stay for a few more days?" Pei's mother was reluctant to leave and wanted to keep her.
Bai Xiao shook his head: "He Huan will be back tomorrow. The house is a little messy. I have to go back and clean it up."
After the party, Ye Hehuan and Qin Shousheng went to Sanya to sunbathe and would not be back for a few days.
Bai Xiao is just saying this now because he wants to have a suitable excuse to leave.
Jiang Yingmei no longer forced her. When she saw Pei Qiyou coming down from upstairs, she said, "Xiaoxiao wants to go back to the capital of Xingyu. You drive her back first."
——————————
Seven or eight o'clock in the morning is a peak traffic period.
The Lexus stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light. Bai Xiao looked out the window. They had not spoken to each other along the way.
Pei Qiyou looked at the road ahead, but he said to her, "Are you still working at the Art Center?"
"Well, this is the only job I have to support my family right now."
"Shengqi's Human Resources Department happens to be short of a manager. I'll give them a call tomorrow. You can find a time to come there. It should be fine."
Shengqi is a branch company under Pei's name and was acquired by Pei Qiyou just last year.
Bai Xiao didn't turn around, still looking out the window at the trees on the roadside, "No need, I've already submitted my resume online, there will be news soon."
His hands holding the steering wheel tightened, "Bai Xiao, you don't need to be so clear with me."
Bai Xiao's slightly raised lips seemed to contain a touch of self-mockery, "I don't want to owe anyone else anymore." Especially the Pei family.
Pei Jinyuan saved her life. It took her twenty years to pay off the debt, but it was not long enough. How could she dare to ask for this favor again?
Pei Qiyou stopped talking, but was a little distracted while driving. As he was about to drive past the capital of Star Language, Bai Xiao quickly reminded, "We're here!"
When parking, when the car hit the roadblock next to the gate of Xingyu Capital Community, Bai Xiao couldn't help but look at him, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Pei Qiyou looked at her, his voice dry and a little incoherent, "Are you here?"
Bai Xiao got out of the car and before closing the door, she told him again: "Don't be distracted anymore, be careful on the road."
Pei Qiyou nodded, but Bai Xiao didn't know that his palms were sweating.
——————————
Bai Xiao put her luggage in the living room, took the violin and went to work directly.
During class, Bai Xiao saw the empty seat in the middle of the front row and remembered that Yu Jingxi didn't call him last night.
The good night calls before going to bed for several days in a row suddenly disappeared one day, which made her a little uncomfortable. Then she remembered that she had not given Yu Jingxi the birthday gift she bought last time. After class, Bai Xiao came back
The office called him.
——————————
When Yu Jingxi received Bai Xiao's call, she was lying on the bed in a state of illness, feeling as sad as she wanted.
Aunt Li brought him breakfast and refused to eat, nor did he go to the art class. In the end, Yu Shaoting forcibly pulled him up from his bed, like a puppet. Yu Shaoting took him by the collar and went to the restaurant to drink a glass of milk, and then started pretending to be dead again.
, silently expressing one's grievances.
When Yu Shaoting went to work, Yu Jingxi crawled back into bed, moaning carelessly.
Hearing Bai Xiao's soft voice at this moment, Yu Jingxi's eyes turned red, and he cried out affectionately: "Xiao Bai!"
Bai Xiao heard his grievance, "What's wrong?"
Yu Jingxi's tears popped out and she wiped them away with the back of her hand: "Xiao Bai, will you be nice to me in the future?"
Bai Xiao felt inexplicably sad after hearing this: "Of course. Can you tell the teacher what happened?"
Yu Jingxi fell on the bed, held her cell phone, looked at the ceiling and sighed, then said to Bai Xiao, "Xiao Bai, I really like you."
"Me too, I like Jing Xi very much." Bai Xiao felt soft in her heart, sour and sweet at the same time. She couldn't explain it. She thought of the gift she left at home, "Are you free in the evening? I gave it to you a few days ago.
I bought a birthday gift, but I never had time to give it to you..."
"When you are free, when you are free!" Yu Jingxi regained his energy instantly and jumped up from the bed, "Did you really buy me a gift?"
Bai Xiao smiled and said "hmm", because his cheerful voice immediately improved his mood.
After making an appointment with Bai Xiao to meet at Parkson Shopping Mall, Yu Jingxi hung up the phone and fell back onto the bed softly.
He was lying on his side with the quilt between his calves. Do he really want to give up Xiaobai to his father? But what should he do if he is so reluctant to let go?
——————————
Bai Xiao was in a very happy mood all afternoon when she went to work.
"Teacher Bai is so happy, are you going on a date with your boyfriend tonight?" a male teacher in the office joked.
Bai Xiao thought of Yu Jingxi's pretty little face, and couldn't help but follow his words and said: "Yes, he is a very handsome little boyfriend."
After work, Bai Xiao didn't stay outside and went directly back to the capital of Xingyu to get the gift for Yu Jingxi.
As soon as she arrived downstairs at the apartment, she saw Jiang Yingmei waiting downstairs carrying a jar.
"You're back? These are the pickled pickled vegetables that Aunt Rong made herself. I happened to be passing by and brought some for you to try."
Bai Xiao took Jiang Yingmei upstairs, opened the apartment door and got a pair of slippers for Jiang Yingmei, and went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of boiling water.
"These are..." Jiang Yingmei had just sat down on the sofa when she saw the children's warmer* in the paper bag next to her.
Bai Xiao put down the water glass: "One of my students has a birthday recently, and I made an appointment to send it to him later in the afternoon."
Jiang Yingmei didn't think deeply about it, but Bai Xiao saw that there were too many things on the sofa, so she took her duffel bag into the room first. As soon as she unzipped the bag and didn't have time to put the clothes back into the closet, the doorbell rang.
"Dong ding dong" sounded.
When the door opened, Bai Xiao was a little surprised because two uniformed policemen were standing outside.
"Is this Bai Xiao's home?" one of the policemen asked.
Bai Xiao nodded, "I am, you guys...what's the matter?"
"We are from the Fengcheng Public Security Bureau. Hengzhou contacted us and said that you may be related to the Jinyang coal mine accident a few years ago, so we hope you will come with us."
Bai Xiao was confused, "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
The two policemen looked at each other, and then one of them spoke: "Three years ago, a gas explosion occurred during illegal mining in Jinyang Coal Mine, killing 16 people on the spot. The accident was concealed and not reported. According to the Hengzhou Public Security Bureau, Pei was also
Participated in the development of coal mines and even invested huge amounts of money."
Bai Xiao's eardrums buzzed and she became temporarily deaf, but she still pretended to be calm, "Then what does this have to do with me?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, a terrible guess began to slowly form in her consciousness.
Mother Pei inside the house heard the commotion and came out: "Xiaoxiao, what happened? Comrade policeman...why are you here at home?"
"If our previous investigation is correct," the policeman paused before saying, "you are solely responsible for Pei's investment in Jinyang Coal Mine."
"So?" Bai Xiao dug her nails into the palms of her hands, trying not to let anyone see her trembling shoulders.
"So please come with us."
"Have you misunderstood?" Jiang Yingmei's eyes widened in disbelief, and she stopped in front of Bai Xiao, refusing to let them take her away. "My Xiaoxiao has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. How could she do something illegal and criminal?
Come?"
Bai Xiao's face was pale and a little dazed. Hearing Jiang Yingmei's words to defend herself, the sadness in her heart became more and more intense.
She looked up at the two policemen and said, "I'll go back with you."
——————————
When Pei Qiyou received the call from Jiang Yingmei, he was standing on the top floor of the Pei family looking down at the ground, as if God was looking at a few ants.
"Pray for blessing, people from the Public Security Bureau have taken Xiaoxiao away. Go and pick her up quickly. She will be scared as a girl staying in a place like that."
In fact, before Pei's mother called, he had just answered Li Jing's call, and Li Jing told him four words: "It's all done."
——————————
The second update will probably be around early in the morning. Friends, if you can’t wait any longer, you’ll have to wake up and watch it tomorrow~~~
