"That child is not mine." Pei Qiyou's cold voice came from outside the crowd.
Jiang Yingmei's face improved slightly when she saw her son coming back. She remembered something and quickly turned to look at her daughter-in-law next to her.
Bai Xiao looked calm, as if what happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Inexplicably, Jiang Yingmei felt uneasy, so she took Bai Xiao's cold hand and held it.
The crowd of onlookers took the initiative to move out of the way.
Bai Qinli turned around and saw Pei Qiyou walking over.
He was wearing a dark blue suit and had a tall and straight figure. Although he had cold features, he was irresistibly attractive to her.
What was originally a little grievance was magnified infinitely. She hadn't seen him for almost half a month.
This man is really ruthless, he doesn't want her anymore even if he says he doesn't want her.
Thinking of the child in her belly, Bai Qinli subconsciously protected it with her hands.
That night he told her to have an abortion, but the next day someone actually took her to the hospital forcibly.
If she hadn't used the toilet as an excuse to escape, and later hid in the countryside with her parents, who would have been like that now!
Bai Qiuhua opened the security guard. When he saw Pei Qiyou, he instinctively wanted to lower his head. But thinking about the child in his daughter's belly, he straightened his spine and cleared his throat with bravado: "Ahem, pray, tell me, what's going on with the child?"
manage?"
Ren Jiang Yingmei, a good-tempered person, was also angry with this strange family. She dared to mess around without even looking at the place. She turned to the club manager who came to deal with it and turned coldly: "Your club is not a membership system.
? How come anyone can come in?"
The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. To be honest, he didn't know how these three people sneaked in.
After bowing and apologizing to Jiang Yingmei, the manager was about to instruct security to take the person away. Wu Xiumei quit, jumped up from the ground, pulled Bai Qinli over, and shouted to Jiang Yingmei: "You don't even recognize me.
Wife, you should also recognize your grandson, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Qiyou's extremely contemptuous sneer sounded from the side.
Bai Qinli looked at him with the corners of her mouth raised, but the smile did not reach her eyes. On the contrary, he was looking at her coldly. It was a look she had never seen when she was around Pei Qiyou, and she felt a little frightened for a moment.
, lowered his head in panic.
However, Wu Xiumei was so angry that she shouted: "Pei Qiyou, you've done it before, you've done it before, are you trying to make a fool of yourself now?"
Bai Xiao stood next to Jiang Yingmei. No matter how calm she appeared on the face, there was still an undercurrent surging in her heart. Especially when she heard Wu Xiumei's words "I've done it, I've done it", she clenched her hands tightly, and her fingernails pinched her palms.
It hurts, but my face becomes colder.
"According to what you say, as long as I have been with a woman, I will be responsible for her and marry her as my wife?"
Pei Qiyou squinted impatiently at Wu Xiumei, who was misbehaving, and frowned at the manager: "Why don't you throw them all out!"
Bai Qinli finally couldn't bear it any longer, let go of Wu Xiumei, took out a stack of paper from her bag and threw it at Pei Qiyou. Because of her grievance and anger, her tears flowed down like a faucet that was turned on: "I'll just follow you.
Whose child is this if it’s not yours?”
Bai Xiao was the first among these people to lose her temper. She thought she could, but in the end she couldn't continue listening.
"Mom, when you are free one day, I will make up for this meal for you."
"Xiao Xiao——"
Bai Xiao didn't want to say anymore, got rid of Jiang Yingmei's hand, took her bag and coat and left.
Her wrist was grabbed, and when she was caught off guard, Pei Qiyou pulled her over and walked out.
"Pei Qiyou!" Bai Qinli chased after two steps unwillingly.
Bai Xiao wanted to shake him off, but was held tighter instead.
Pei Qiyou held her hand and looked at Bai Qinli with cold and piercing eyes, "Since you want to keep this child, then keep it, but I won't give you a penny. Someone will collect Yu Jing tomorrow."
That house in Yuan."
"You can't do this!" Bai Qiuhua jumped anxiously: "Didn't you agree to give it to us?"
"But I regret it now." Pei Qiyou said with a cold smile on his lips.
Bai Xiao didn't know how she was pulled into the elevator by Pei Qiyou and then pulled out of the "East Palace".
She was wearing a sleeveless skirt. Pei Qiyou took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. After the club attendant drove the car to the door, he opened the passenger door, forced her in, and followed suit.
car.
Skillfully ignite the car, put it into gear, step on the accelerator, and the Lexus roars into traffic like an angry beast.
The car drove smoothly on the road, and there was no movement inside the car.
Pei Qiyou looked at the road ahead, illuminated by car lights, with his handsome face tense and ugly.
Bai Xiao was still covered with his suit. She held her arms with both hands and leaned her head on the car window to look at the passing vehicles outside.
The cell phone placed on the front of the car kept buzzing and vibrating, but he didn't pick it up or even glance at it.
It wasn't until the phone rang for the tenth time that Bai Xiao turned his head and asked, "Aren't you going to answer?"
Pei Qiyou gave a soft "hmm" and drove the car intently, letting his cell phone ring repeatedly.
The atmosphere inside the car was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Bai Xiao casually turned on the FM in the car, which happened to be a music station. She closed her eyes and leaned back to the window.
"...Okay, then let us enjoy this "Fairy Tale" together, wishing Mr. Zhang and his wife a long life together, and also wishing all the lovers who met by chance in 2007 to finally get married..."
Guangliang's thin but soft voice sounded along with the music——
"... I forget how long it has been since I heard you tell me your favorite story... You cried and told me that fairy tales are all lies. I can't be your prince, and maybe you won't.
I understand, ever since you said you loved me, the stars in my sky have all lit up. I would like to become the angel you love in the fairy tale, open my hands and turn into wings to protect you..."
Bai Xiao closed her eyes, still feeling the discomfort in her eyes.
Guangliang's baritone turned into a deep and sexy male voice, and the memories buried deep in his heart came to mind.
In the summer of 2007, Pei Qiyou stood under the balcony of her room, singing "Fairy Tale" with a red face, a little inaccurate, but very attentive. He looked at her intently with his eyes, and he knelt in front of her in the pouring rain.
His eyes were washed red by the rain. He held up the ring and proposed to her, vowing to take care of her for the rest of his life and to take care of her and her children until they grow old...
She put on the ring and married him, but his promise never came true.
The sad but beautiful singing sounded in her ears. Bai Xiao slowly opened her eyes, and the scenery outside the window gradually became blurry. She hugged her body tightly, her throat was a little blocked, but she still said: "Qiyou, let's get a divorce."
.”
Her voice is very soft and a little hoarse, but it is particularly clear when mixed with the singing.
The car was still moving slowly, and Pei Qiyou didn't seem to hear her words.
Bai Xiao sat upright in her seat, withdrew her somewhat hazy gaze from the window, looking at the dim road ahead. Until her vision became clear, she looked at his sharp profile and repeated: "Let's get a divorce.
Pray for blessings.”
Qiyou, this was the first time in so many years that she called him so affectionately, but it was in this situation.
Pei Qiyou's hands were holding the steering wheel. Because they were clenched so tightly, the knuckles of his fingers turned white, and the veins on the back of his hands protruded one by one. The light in the car flickered, and his face was covered in large shadows.
Bai Xiao did not rush him and waited quietly.
The car stopped at an intersection, waited for the red light, and then started driving again, but the speed became faster and faster.
The light from the street lamp flashed briefly through her eyes.
"The child is not mine." After an unknown amount of time, his cold and stiff voice sounded.
"It's not the best." Bai Xiao smiled lightly, "If you really like Bai Qinli, find someone with a clean net worth in the future. You are also a respectable person in Fengcheng now. If you are dragged down by the women around you,
In the end, the gains outweigh the losses.”
Pei Qiyou didn't speak, just stared at the road ahead.
Bai Xiao put away the smile on her lips and looked outside. After a moment, she said, "Send me to the hospital."
The tit-for-tat exchanges that had characterized each meeting in the past disappeared and were replaced by sad silence.
He took out a letter from his bag and put it on the front of the car: "This is my resignation letter. I don't want to go to the company again."
She thought it would break her heart, but when she actually said it, she found that it was not as painful as she imagined. It was because she had been numb from the pain for a long time, so when this moment came, all she felt was loneliness and helplessness.
desolate.
"I don't agree with divorce."
Bai Xiao stared at his right hand. The area where she bit the tiger's mouth was already scabbed, but the faint scar could never be removed.
She turned away her eyes and smiled bitterly: "What if we don't get a divorce? Do we have to be like this for the rest of our lives?"
Pei Qiyou's eyes were red. He stared ahead and felt the circles under his eyes were sore but couldn't move away. "Isn't this bad?"
"But I don't want to go on like this. I also want to live a normal life and have a happy family."
Pei Qiyou sneered, "You feel so uncomfortable being with me? I don't know who said that, but as long as I didn't tell her to leave, she would stay with me forever."
Bai Xiao did not get angry because of his cynicism, but nodded: "It's uncomfortable, so I don't want to make myself uncomfortable anymore. I can't keep the promise I made to you before, but I have done enough for your Pei family.
too much."
Her plain voice was like a sharp claw, slicing through his chest and squeezing his heart.
It hurt, he had no feeling in his limbs, only bursts of pain came from his heart, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
His face became colder and colder: "Do you think you are the only one who feels uncomfortable?"
"If that's the case, then we should get divorced, shouldn't we?" Bai Xiao turned to look at him, "That way we would all be free."
"Relief?" Pei Qiyou murmured these two words, his voice sounding sarcastic and confused.
A huge truck came oncoming, the bright lights made it difficult for Bai Xiao to open his eyes, and the piercing whistle sounded.
A dark shadow almost covered the entire car.
Seeing that Pei Qiyou had no intention of getting out of the way, Bai Xiao panicked and leaned forward to grab the steering wheel.
The car passed by the big truck, and before hitting the guardrail next to it, a violent braking sound pierced the night sky.
Due to inertia, Bai Xiao rushed forward, her forehead hit the front, her heart pounded in her chest, and she heard rapid and heavy breathing in her ears. She looked at the man beside her in disbelief: "
Pei Qiyou, you are crazy!"
Pei Qiyou held the steering wheel tightly, as if it were her neck, holding it so tightly that he wanted to crush it.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be freed? Death is the best way to escape."
Bai Xiao looked at his handsome face, but it was strange to her because of his paranoia. She leaned on her seat and closed her eyes to prevent tears from flowing down, "You gave Bai Qinli the house in Yujingyuan. Between us.
What is left in the world?"
Pei Qiyou was silent.
"Do you remember the first time you told me you liked me?"
Looking at the trace of trance in his eyes, Bai Xiao's eye circles were moist and hot, "Don't remember?"
After saying that, she opened the car door and got out, leaving only a dark blue suit on the passenger seat.
Pei Qiyou sat in the car, looking at Xianying walking farther and farther away, as if he was possessed by a demon.
For a long time, he covered his face with his hands on the steering wheel and leaned on the seat, as if all his strength had been drained away.
——————————
Bai Xiao was taken away from the "East Palace" in such a hurry that she didn't take anything, including her handbag and coat.
She didn't know how she walked back to the hospital.
The toes in the high-heeled shoes had already become numb, the whole body was so cold that he lost consciousness, and his lips lost all color.
At the entrance of a shopping mall not far from the hospital, Bai Xiao really couldn't bear it anymore, so she found a clean place to sit down, took off her high heels, and there were blood blisters on her heels. She touched her frozen toes in an attempt to let the blood flow.
.
There was a huge Christmas tree on the square in front of the shopping mall, and cheerful children's voices sang "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells..." She looked up at a pair of rival lovers passing by arm in arm, feeling sour in her heart.
It started to spread like wild grass.
The first time Pei Qiyou told her that he liked her was by the Christmas tree in Longxing Square. It was snowing heavily that day.
If they divorce, will these memories be uprooted from her heart?
"Pretty sister, this is for you!" A colorful lollipop was handed to Bai Xiao.
She looked down and saw a little girl with braids, whose little hands had already stuffed candy into her hands.
"Mom said that when you are unhappy, eating a candy will make you feel better!"
Bai Xiao looked at the lollipop in her hand in a daze. She thought of that well-behaved and sensible child.
If she remembered correctly, she hadn't seen Yu Jingxi again for almost half a month.
Thinking of those little fleshy hands covering her own and breathing out, Bai Xiao took a deep breath, got up and walked towards the hospital without throwing away the lollipop.
When crossing the zebra crossing, there were many children around holding the hands of their parents, laughing innocently and cutely.
Almost walking to the inpatient department of the hospital, Bai Xiao saw a black shadow shrinking in the corner of the door. Inexplicably, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, as if she was uneasy, but also as if she was expecting. When she got closer, she discovered that
It's a child sitting on the ground.
Slightly curly mushroom head, white and tender face, curly black eyelashes, thin velvet warm* on the small body, and a pair of small cotton mops with cartoon dogs printed on them. At this moment, he is curling up with his eyes closed on the soft body of a bulldog.
on the belly.
Bai Xiao blinked, thinking she had seen it wrong. She knelt down and saw that beautiful little face clearly, and the shock in her heart could not be described in words.
It's really Yu Jingxi.
But...why is he here?
"Rouwan" seemed to sense someone approaching, opened his eyes, stared at Bai Xiao and whimpered.
The sleeping little guy's eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Bai Xiao who was very close at hand. His distracted eyes gradually focused, and then he suddenly threw himself into Bai Xiao's arms and held her tightly.
, the childish voice was filled with tears and dissatisfaction.
"You heartless person, if I don't come to you, are you going to stop contacting me for the rest of your life?"
Her little head went straight to Bai Xiao's belly. Bai Xiao hugged him back, and what she received was a large piece of cold blood. Her eyes turned red, and she hugged him close, "Why are you here so late at night?"
"It's not you?!" The milky voice was full of grievance: "Do you know how much I miss you? I think of you when I sleep, I think of you when I eat, I think of you when I go to class, but you are fine,
Didn’t even give me a call!”
"Rouwan" waggled its tail and circled around Bai Xiao, barking twice in unison: "Woof woof!"
Bai Xiao saw that his whole body was cold, especially the warm suit, which made her make some guess: "Did you run away from home?"
"Yu Shaoting didn't let me see you. He went abroad today and asked people to watch me. I had no choice but to come out secretly."
