Su Yuxi lay in a daze, having nightmares one after another. She woke up from the nightmares, and Pei Mubai happened to be sitting in front of her bed.
"Are you having a nightmare again?" Pei Mubai hugged her into his arms, patted her back gently, and took out a wet tissue to wipe her face.
"Mr. Pei, we'd better keep our distance."
"I'm sorry, I've gotten used to it in the past few years." Pei Mubai was stunned when he said it.
"Ouch, my legs hurt so much." Fang Shiyu suddenly fell to the ground.
Pei Mubai couldn't care about Su Yuxi anymore and hurried to help Fang Shiyu.
"Shiyu, are you hurt from the fall? Didn't I ask you to stay in the room and wait for me? Why did you come out on your own? I'll take you back to the room first."
Pei Mubai sent Fang Shiyu back to her room, and Zhang Ma brought the cooked chicken soup.
"Madam, please drink some chicken soup. My husband specially asked me to make it for you. He still loves you."
Love? Is he love for her? What is Fang Shiyu?
Pei Mubai has never loved her, just because they have not divorced yet and he has fulfilled his responsibility as a husband.
"Mama Zhang, please take it away. I have no appetite now." She suddenly hated men like Pei Mubai.
"Madam, you haven't eaten all day. You'd better drink some soup and I'll feed you."
"No need, Zhang Ma." Su Yuxi turned sideways and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
She was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy. But she would rather be hungry than have Pei Mubai's charity!
…
"Why don't you drink the soup? Does it taste bad? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you again." Su Yuxi was hungry and uncomfortable. She fell asleep in a daze when she suddenly heard Pei Mubai speaking softly in her ear.
What woman can refuse such tenderness and caring from him?
"Good boy, I'll help you up and drink as much as you can. You haven't eaten anything today. You should pay more attention to your diet now that you have a bad stomach."
"Okay." Su Yuxi's voice was choked, she took the soup bowl in his hand and took a big sip.
"Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."
Su Yuxi drank a large bowl obediently.
"Yuxi, let me take you to Jinyuan."
Su Yuxi nodded. Pei Mubai wanted to send her away because this place belonged to him and Fang Shiyu. It would be so embarrassing for her to stay here! Pei Mubai couldn't tolerate her for a moment!
Her mother will definitely feel distressed when she sees her like this, so it’s better not to go back and worry them for the time being.
If her parents knew that she and Pei Mubai were getting divorced, they would definitely be worried. If they knew that they were getting divorced and she was pregnant with Pei Mubai's child, they would definitely be unable to sleep at night.
Her father had a bad heart and high blood pressure, and she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand this blow.
Although no one lives in Jinyuan, it is kept clean and the refrigerator is full of ingredients, all of which Su Yuxi likes to eat.
"Yuxi, I'm going on a business trip. It may take a week to come back. You will stay here for the next few days."
"Okay, tell me when you come back, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the procedures."
"Well, you should also think carefully about what you want after the divorce. As long as I can give it, I will give it to you."
Su Yuxi stopped talking. What if she said that what she wanted was Pei Mubai? Would he give him to her?
"I'm leaving, you have a good rest."
"Um."
Su Yuxi looked at his leaving figure and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The house was deserted, and her heart felt cold.
In the past, she had longed for Pei Mubai to come back from his business trip as soon as possible, but this time she hoped that he would be later.
