Song Yuqiao raised her arm to block Pei Shicheng's arm, walked around him and went out. Pei Shicheng reached out from behind and wrapped his arms around Song Yuqiao's waist, pulling her back. Song Yuqiao's back was pressed against Pei Shicheng's chest, then leaned in close to her ear and asked again: "Are you angry?"

  Song Yuqiao felt a scorching heat on his back and chest, so he directly broke free from Pei Sicheng's arm, silently walked out of the kitchen, and casually threw a dishcloth at Pei Sicheng.

  Water from the dishcloth dripped directly onto Pei's chest, instantly forming patches of water stains on his white shirt.

  Pei Si Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

  I had expected this result, but fortunately there is Bae Ho-yong, he knows that Song Yuqiao won't leave. Even if she leaves, he has GPS location on hand.

  Pei Si Cheng brought the oatmeal porridge to the small dining room outside, and Pei Hao Yu had already carried his own plastic bowl over: "Qiao Qiao said she just made me oatmeal porridge!"

  Pei Si remained silent and directly bypassed Pei Huai Yu, sitting down at the dining table to eat breakfast first.

  Right after that, a puzzled voice came from the kitchen: "Huh? How come there's none?"

  Paisong remained silent and continued eating his last bowl of oatmeal porridge.

  Bai Haoyu, in the kitchen, scraped the bottom of the pot clean. He licked the spoon with the remaining oatmeal on it and thought to himself, what if this isn't enough to eat?

  Finally. Pei Hangyu ran out again with his plastic bowl, held it up in front of Dad and said, "Dad, give me some."

  Pei Si couldn't help but glance at his son's already rounded belly. From top to bottom, it was all round and plump. "If you get any fatter, Yan will start to dislike you."

  Actually, Yan Yan originally disliked you.

  Bae Ho-young: “......”

  Yes! It seems like someone said they wanted to lose weight!

  From then on, Pei Hangyu's motto changed from "Learn from Xiaobing" to "I want to become a big loser!"

  After having breakfast, Bae Ho-young sat on the floor with his toy car and played by himself. Bae Seo-jun went upstairs and saw Song Yu-kyung making her bed and folding some clean clothes from the balcony, so he sat down next to her.

  Song Yuqiao tidied up his things and put them directly into the wardrobe. Without even looking at Pei Shichen, he turned around and left.

  Pei Cheng pulled Song Yuqiao from behind, grasping her wrist tightly, the temperature of her skin was transmitted, and it felt a bit scorching.

  Song Yuqiao lowered her eyelids, and her gaze fell on the large hand of Pei Si Cheng who was holding her wrist tightly. She struggled a bit, furrowed her brow: "Let go."

  "Don't let go."

  Pei Si took advantage of her momentary distraction and pulled her into his arms, placing both hands on her waist.

  Song Yuqiao pressed both hands against Pei Cheng's chest, leaning back slightly, but Pei Cheng's arm was wrapped around her waist. She really had nowhere to retreat, but she didn't raise her eyes and refused to meet Pei Cheng's gaze, her line of sight barely falling on the edge of his chin.

  Song Yuqiao raised his head, his tone already slightly tinged with annoyance, "Are you going to let go or not?"

  Pei Si's face wore a faint smile as he said in a spoiled tone, "I won't let go."

  Song Yuqiao clenched his fists and punched Pei Si Cheng's chest twice, with a loud thud.

  "Let go!"

  When Song Yuqiao punched Pei Shichen's chest with her fist, she really used a few points of strength, but Pei Shichen still stubbornly held onto Song Yuqiao's waist and sat down on the bed with her. Looking into Song Yuqiao's eyes, he said: "I won't let go, I've finally found you back, this time, I absolutely won't let go."

  Song Yuqiao's eyes seemed to have a slight fluctuation, and he immediately turned his face away. Taking advantage of Pei Sicheng's slightly loosened hand, he suddenly broke free from Pei Sicheng's embrace, moved towards the foot of the bed, pointed at the door, and tried to make his voice harder, "You get out."

  "Then where do you want me to go?"

  "Go wherever you want, it has nothing to do with me." Song Yuqiao lowered her eyelids and casually pulled out a tissue to wipe the slight moisture from her palm.

  "Why shouldn't I? This is my home, of course I'll stay here."

  Song Yuqiao's hand paused, and he looked up, "Oh, right, this is your home, even if someone leaves, it should be me."

  She finished speaking, stood up, opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes inside.

  "Qiao Qiao, I didn't mean it that way... This is my home, and also your home. Even if it's not my home anymore, it's still your home."

  Song Yu said coolly: "Then I dare not take it."

  She said that, and had already taken out all her clothes from the closet, put them on the bed to sort out, opened the suitcase, folded the clothes over there, and then put them into the suitcase.

  Pei Si leaned in closer, "Are you going to run away from home?"

  Song Yuqiao didn't make a sound, lowering her head to continue tidying up her things, avoiding Pei Si Cheng's hand, not raising her head to look at Pei Si Cheng, slightly lowering her head, hair scattered down, hanging on the side of her face, covering her small pale face.

  "Then don't have sons?"

  Song Yuqiao was folding the shirt when he heard Pei Shichen's words, his hand relaxed and the shirt in his hand fell onto the bed with a soft thud.

  However, Song Yuqiao just paused for a moment and then continued folding clothes.

  Pei Cheng is now being thoroughly ignored, he feels that he still needs to be patient and then a little more skillful, such as holding Song Yuqiao in his arms and asking for her forgiveness. He doesn't dare to make any further moves now, really afraid of provoking Song Yuqiao's displeasure again, although this time he has indeed provoked her displeasure.

  Paisong's strength was great, as long as he didn't intentionally want to let go of Song Yuqiao, then Song Yuqiao couldn't break free.

  He lowered his head and placed his chin on Song Yuqiao's shoulder: "Will you say something to me?"

  Song Yuqiao was really struggling to get free, so she simply let Pei Si hold her, but she didn't open her mouth to speak, nor did she look at him. Her gaze fell on a corner of the wardrobe, and her eyes went blank.

  In the end, Pei still compromised and let her go. She then packed up her belongings, including the toothbrush, towels, and toiletries in the bathroom, and put them all into her luggage.

  Pei Si nodded and followed, it was useless to persuade him anymore. He asked: "Do you want to go to Jinshui apartment? I'll take you there."

  Song Yuqiao was dragging his suitcase forward when Bae Hooyoung, who was sitting on the living room floor playing, suddenly jumped up and ran over to hug Song Yuqiao's leg. "Qiao Qiao, where are you going?!"

  Actually, just now Pei Hangyu's little shadow flashed in Song Yuqiao's heart.

  For this little guy who has been missing his mother's love for more than five years, Song Yuqiao really didn't want to let go.

  Song Yuqiao squatted down and touched Pei Haoyu's head: "Auntie is going to school for registration in a few days, so she needs to go back and pack her things, so she can't accompany Xiao Huo for the next few days."

  "Want to go back to Jinshui Apartment?"

  Song Yu nodded.

  "Then I'll go too!" exclaimed Bae Ho-young.

  After finishing speaking, Pei Haoyu quickly ran upstairs, and Song Yuqiao didn't even have time to stop him. However, within five minutes, he was dragging his small suitcase down the stairs, using all his might as if he had used up all his energy since birth.

  Pei Hangyu looked up to see both his dad and Qiao Qiao staring at him, he stuck out his tongue: "I'm still on summer break, I don't need to go to school, so I can follow Qiao Qiao out, I like being with Qiao Qiao!"

  Bai Haoyu's little brain was filled with fantasies of a two-person world with Qiaoqiao, without the annoying Old Man joining in. It had been a long time coming, but it was finally going to happen!

  Song Yu pulled a large suitcase, while holding onto Xiao Ge's hand on this side.

  Bai Haoyu was pulling his small suitcase with one hand and holding Song Yuqiao's hand with the other.

  Pei Si walked half a step ahead and helped them press the elevator button.

  All the way down to the lobby, Pei Si Cheng went back one step to get the car from the garage. When he came out, Song Yu Qiao and Pei Huang Yu had already gotten into a taxi.

  Pei Si Cheng was always uneasy and drove his car to follow the taxi all the way until they arrived at Jin Shui apartment.

  Until Song Yu and Qiao La pulled Pei Huan Yu into the elevator, Pei Si Cheng stared at the tightly closed elevator door, his hands gripping the steering wheel.

  Then he turned around and made a phone call to Gu Qingcheng, asking: "Can the call records from five years ago still be retrieved?"

  Gu Qingcheng chuckled twice, "Are you dreaming? Pei San, not every..."

  Pei Si Cheng hung up the phone before Gu Qing Cheng could finish speaking.

  Then he hung up and drove to Shengting.

  ………………

  Pei Si Cheng had previously sent Zheng Jia Wei to Sheng Ting and also investigated afterwards, so he knew the specific location of Zheng Jia Wei in Sheng Ting.

  When Pei Si Cheng rang the doorbell, the one who opened the door was not Zheng Jia Wei, but a blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreign woman, who saw Pei Si Cheng first and greeted him with "Hello".

  Pai Si Cheng looked this woman up and down from head to toe and asked: "I'm looking for Zheng Jia Wei."

  Zheng Jiawei wiped her hair and came out from inside, asking: "Qianya, who is it?"

  When Zheng Jiawei saw Pei Si Cheng at that moment, the expression in her eyes changed, but she still calmly wiped her hair dry and let Xianya go first, agreeing to meet up in the afternoon to go shopping.

  Akira didn't say anything, but added a kiss on her cheek before leaving.

  Pei Si Chen stood at one side with his arms crossed, looking over with an extremely cold gaze.

  Zheng Jiawei closed the door and turned around, smiling and asking Pei Si Cheng: "No one enters the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. What brings you here? You even came to visit me."

  Pei Sheng didn't directly answer Zheng Jiawei's words, instead he looked around and asked: "Is this your boyfriend's house?"

  Zheng Jiawei's gaze flickered: "Mm, yeah, what's up?"

  Pei Si sat on the sofa, "Yesterday your dad even called me, asking me to take care of you here in C city, and once the film studio work is done here, you'll immediately go back for a blind date."

  "I have a boyfriend now, I've told them several times," Zheng Jiawei sat down on the sofa armrest, picking up a comb to comb her half-dry hair. "I'm a non-marriage believer, they just don't understand."

  "Zheng Bobo, you only have one daughter, and she's already over 30 years old. Aren't you worried that she won't get married?" Pei Si Cheng leaned back, with one leg slightly bent and the other tapping on the tea table, looking relaxed and lazy. "Zheng Jiawei, you're about to show your true colors."

  Zheng Jiawei slapped the towel in her hand onto the sofa, "Drop this topic, don't drag me into it again. Talking about this is no better than talking more about your little girlfriend."

  Pei Si's eyes darted around, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "What's wrong with my little girlfriend?"

  "Are you spoiling her too much?" Zheng Jiawei said, "I always feel like you're not looking for a wife but a daughter instead, she's so young and spoiled."

  Pei Si Cheng smiled lightly: "I spoil her, I'm used to it, and I'm willing to. Do you have an opinion?"

  Zheng Jiawei rolled her eyes, leaned forward and asked: "I've been thinking all along, is she the Xia Chuchu from five years ago that Meng Xue told me about, saying you met a little girl abroad named Xia Chuchu?"

  Pei Si's eyes narrowed, "Is that so? Zhang Mengxue and you are quite close, but Xia Chuchu is well-known to many people. I even mentioned her once in a magazine interview."

  Zheng Jiawei always felt that Pei Cheng's words were a bit strange, but she didn't think much of it and asked: "You came to me on your own initiative now, aren't you afraid that your little girlfriend will know about it and get jealous? I'm actually scared now, originally women's possessiveness is so strong."

  Pei Cheng didn't say anything more, and temporarily changed the subject with Zheng Jiawei, talking about the construction period of the film and television academy, as well as Zheng Jiawei's subsequent work on editing and conducting symphonies. As he was about to leave after putting away the drawings, he suddenly turned around at the door and said to Zheng Jiawei: "Last time at the cemetery, I saw Qi Xuan."

  Zheng Jiawei happened to be lifting the glass in her hand to take a sip of water, but her hand shook and spilled water on her wrist. The icy cold water felt like it had scalded her.

  Pei Si Cheng had already taken in Zheng Jia Wei's performance, smiled and said, "I'll leave first. If things don't go well here, I can replace you to explain clearly to Uncle Zheng."

  Pei Sicheng mentioned Qi Xuan at this time in order to probe him a bit.

  As expected, Zheng Jiawei's reaction did not disappoint him.

  Pei Shu Cheng didn't have his mobile phone when he went upstairs to look for Zheng Jia Wei, but when he returned to the car, he saw that there were two missed calls from Yu Na on his phone which was placed on the car seat.

  He slightly raised an eyebrow, knowing that Yu Na must have something serious to say.

  Otherwise, in general, both Yu Na and Li Bei are very clear that if a call to Pei Sheng doesn't get through the first time, it must be an urgent matter on Pei Sheng's end, and there will absolutely not be another call within half an hour.

  But now...

  Pais immediately dialed Yu Na's phone number back.

  "What's wrong?"

  Yu Na said: "Boss, I have a request."

  "Say."

  "After Ye Zenan's rehabilitation work is completed on this side, I want to follow Ye Zenan back to the Ye family first, just for three months. In these three months, I can give up Pei Shi's salary and bonus."

  Now this time following Ye Zenan back to the Ye family, Ye Zenan is no longer the president. So, whether it's an assistant or a secretary, the salary won't be too high. However, Yu Na, who has always been looking at money more heavily, actually called Pei Si Cheng to take the initiative to ask for help.

  "Three months, is it enough?" Pei Si Cheng smiled and asked.

  Yu Na slightly stunned, "Enough."

  Pei Si hung up Yu Na's phone, couldn't help but smile in his heart. Yu Na was also an excellent student since childhood, and after entering the Pei family, she devoted herself to work wholeheartedly until now, could it be that she has just fallen in love for the first time?

  Pais understands that kind of feeling when the empty heart is filled for the first time, and when you have a lover, your whole being is tied up.

  Now Yu Na's mood is how, Pei Si Cheng does not fully understand.

  It just so happens that he is now certain that his assistant really wants to send Ye Zenan off, and who knows when they'll need to wrap up a red envelope.

  ………………

  By the end of July, Ye Zeyan's detoxification process had lasted for a month and a half.

  Yu Na almost every day was teaching him about how to overcome the psychological dependence on drugs, Ye Ze Nan also listened, but after all, there were some lingering effects, and the occasional relapse of addiction had already made him almost lose his patience. Ye Ze Nan felt that if it weren't for Yu Na installing alarms on all doors and windows, and always keeping him handcuffed, sometimes even tying him to the bed, he would have definitely broken out of this prison.

  The withdrawal symptoms have passed from the frequent period, gradually stabilizing, and may still relapse, but as long as I don't touch that thing again, there should be no problem.

  Ye Zenan suggested that he wanted to go out and didn't want to stay here anymore, could go to the company to work on one side, he had self-control, could guarantee not to touch that thing. Jiale agreed.

  Yu Na said: "No way."

  Ye Zenan was a bit frantic, a month ago he said no way, now it's already been a month later, basically completely quit, why still not okay?

  Yu Na seemed to have seen through Ye Ze Nan's thoughts and said, "I've told you before, you're still in an unstable period and need to calm down. Generally, it takes three to six months to truly get rid of addiction, and now it's only been over a month. I'm not even anxious yet, what are you rushing for? After going out, you'll have to come into contact with many people and things. Can you guarantee that you can reject all the unclean things like you're in a vacuum? Why don't I read another passage from the Bible to purify your mind?"

  Ye Zenan: "......"

  Actually, Ye Zenan received a call from the Ye family two days ago. Although he has left and others in the Ye family are temporarily taking over as president, there are still many of his loyalists within the company. The call was to inform him about the major purge happening within the Ye Corporation, specifically targeting some people who were originally trusted by Ye Zenan.

  So Ye Zenan just wanted to get out as soon as possible and really didn't want to stay in the villa anymore.

  Ye Zenan said to Yu Na: "Something really happened in my company, it's been over a month and I've stayed away for too long. Now that the time has come for me to go back, I promise you, once I leave, I will absolutely not touch that thing again. The previous lessons were enough, afterwards I definitely won't."

  Ye Zenan's words are indeed correct, because of his addiction to drugs, he has vomited white foam before, and sometimes the pain is so unbearable that it feels like ants biting inside his entire body, with a suffocating feeling, unable to breathe through his mouth and nose. However, if in such a situation, a pair of handcuffs and a packet of white powder were placed in front of him, he would still choose the white powder without hesitation.

  If this person were Yu Na, she would also choose white powder.

  At this time, it's really not a test of one's self-control, the human willpower is truly incomparable to drugs.

  In necessary situations, external forces are still needed to overcome this irresistible human factor, such as this evil drug.

  Ye Zenan had no choice but to give up.

  Yu Na recently fell in love with gardening. The lawn in front of the villa was all cut by Yu Na using a lawnmower, and she also pruned the euonymus.

  Ye Zenan always stood in front of the window on the second floor, watching Yu Na who was pushing a heavy lawn mower below, silently looking for a while, then turning away, closing his eyes to rest for a moment, and then continuing to look.

  Because looking at green is good for your eyes.

  This is what Yu Na said, every day she would gaze out at a distance for half an hour.

  These two days, Ye Zenan has been almost completely obedient to Yu Na's requests. In the past, whenever Yu Na asked Ye Zenan to do something, he would always make excuses and resist. Now, he takes his medicine on time, exercises on the treadmill on schedule, and even voluntarily moves the lounge chair to the balcony to sunbathe from time to time.

  Yu Na felt somewhat perplexed and had an extra thought in her mind.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, on the first night that Yu Na didn't put handcuffs on Ye Ze Nan at night, Ye Ze Nan got dressed and took the car keys to go out.

  Unexpectedly, when I opened the door to my bedroom and wanted to walk in the dark, I saw a black shadow at the doorway.

  It's Yuna.

  Yu Na turned on one of the flashlights in her hand, shining it into Ye Zenan's eyes which couldn't open. She took a step forward, and a pair of handcuffs was already hanging from her finger, swinging back and forth as she said: "I knew you wanted to leave, so I specially unlocked your handcuffs for you. See how considerate I am?"

  Ye Zenan had nothing to say and stretched out his hands, "Then you can handcuff me."

  "Why am I copying you?"

  Ye Zenan slightly furrowed his brow and looked at Yu Na with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.

  Yu Na shrugged, took the car key from Ye Ze Nan's hand, and turned the key ring around her index finger. "Don't worry, Ye Ze Nan, this time I'll help you get back."

  Originally, Ye Zenan didn't know, but now he is 100% clear about Yu Na's work ability and all the problems she can help him solve.

  "But you have to listen to me."

  Surroundings were pitch black.

  Only Yu Na's flashlight in her hand shone like a sharp sword, cutting through the chaos and darkness.

  After a long time, Ye Zenan replied with one word: "Good."

  ………………

  The Jinshui apartment had been idle for more than a month, with a lot of dust accumulated. After Song Yuqiao pulled in her luggage, she began to clean the room.

  Song Yu-Huan originally lived in Jinshui Apartments, but after his mother, Xi Mei-Yu, moved to Hua Yuan, he returned to S City.

  Some of his old classmates are in S city, this time back from abroad for more than two months, always want to gather with friends.

  The room was uninhabited, but not dirty, just a layer of dust on the surface. Song Yuqiao cleaned it up in just one morning. Pei Haoyu followed behind her, holding the chair tightly with both hands when Song Yuqiao stood on the chair to wipe the lamp, his back straight and tense, as if he was facing a great enemy, afraid that he would accidentally let Qiao fall.

  However, when Song Yuqiao got down from the chair, she still felt dizzy for a moment, suddenly feeling a burning sensation in her heart, accompanied by some dry vomiting, and after leaning against the wall for a while, her vision gradually cleared up. "Little Huo, help Auntie get a cup of water."

  "Good!"

  Bai Haoyu took a paper cup from the water dispenser, filled it with water and handed it to Song Yuqiao.

  After Song Yuqiao finished drinking, the scorching heat in her heart slowly dissipated, but the nauseous feeling still hadn't completely disappeared. She poured herself another glass of water and drank it, only then did she feel much better.

  At noon, Song Yuqiao bought pork ribs at the supermarket downstairs and stewed them for Pei Hangyu. The little guy ate with relish, and the rice grains in the small bowl all flew onto his forehead.

  Just then a call came in. Song Yuqiao wiped away the rice grains on Pei Hangyu's forehead with one hand while answering the phone with the other.

  On the other end of the phone was Hua Zhen. Hua Zhen asked, "Do you have time to come out for a bit? There's something we need to discuss among ourselves."

  "I don't have anything on hand, it's just that Pei Xiao Huo is currently at my place, if I go out, I'll need to bring him along."

  Bae Ho-young perked up his ears.

  He heard Qiaoqiao mention his name while talking on the phone! Is it said that he is very well-behaved? However, this pork rib was too slippery and couldn't be picked up with chopsticks. With a "splat", it slipped back into the soup bowl again.

  Huazhen said: "That's okay, I'll go to your house with Zheng Rong in a while, it doesn't matter where, just one less place to discuss things."

  Song Yuqiao picked up a pair of chopsticks and helped Pei Haoyu put a slippery piece of pork ribs into his bowl, placing the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl. He said to Hua Shuang on the phone: "Okay, I won't go out this afternoon, you and Zheng Rong can come over anytime."

  In the afternoon, Hua Zhen and Zheng Rong arrived at almost four o'clock. Zheng Rong was pushing Afei's stroller, following behind Hua Zhen.

  Bae Ho-young was delighted to see the stroller and even leaned on it, winking at Ah Fei, "Ah, little alien, we meet again!"

  Song Yuqiao took one look at Hua Zhen and Zheng Rong pushing Ah Fei over, and knew that what Hua Zhen had said on the phone was related to Lu Luan and Ah Fei. So she pushed Ah Fei into the bedroom, letting Pei Huaiyu watch little Ah Fei by his side, using one of her toy robots to amuse him.

  A Fei was not shy, a pair of black bean-sized eyes staring at Pei Huai Yu's hand-held toy robot.

  When closing the bedroom door, Pei Hangyu was lying on the stroller, holding a robot. "Little alien, you tell me which planet you come from, and I'll let you play with this."

  Song Yuqiao was right, this time Hua Zhen came for Ah Fei.

  "Lulu has psychological problems, let her see a psychologist, but she doesn't want to. I've invited several psychologists before, and they were all scolded away by Lulu," Huazhen sighed, "And then there's Afei, this child..."

  Hua Yun didn't continue, she originally wanted to send A Fei to the orphanage, but with A Fei's situation, even normal families wouldn't want him, and if he were sent to the orphanage, he would be the smallest child being bullied.

  Zheng Rong glanced at Hua Zhen's eyes, which seemed to be already somewhat speechless. He pushed a cup of water on the table towards her and said to Song Yuqiao: "Hua Zhen means that we should discuss what to do with Ah Fei. As for Lu Luan, I don't think she has psychological problems, but rather brain problems. She shouldn't go see a psychologist, but rather go to the hospital to see a neurologist."

  Because of Zheng Rong's words, Song Yuqiao was somewhat at a loss for a moment.

  Zheng Rong has always been a relatively calm person in Song Yuqiao's heart, and he won't say such sharp words because of some small things.

  Song Yuqiao's gaze swept across Hua Zhen and Zheng Rong's faces, saying: "I don't have any feelings for Lu Lü either, let her fend for herself."

  "What else can be done? Ah Fei is Lu Lu's child, now if you want Ah Fei to grow up properly, it's just letting Lu Lu recover from her mental illness! You guys are doing this, how is that possible?" Hua Zhen said, "I also can't bear what Lu Lu has done, but what about Ah Fei? Are we really going to abandon him to an orphanage or give him to you, you, or have you raise him?"

  Zheng Rong looked up at Hua Zhen, whose hair was slightly disheveled from excitement, and said: "Alright, I'll take care of it then. You can just leave it to me."

  Hua Zhen looked at Zheng Rong for two seconds, suddenly waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it, let's talk seriously, Zheng Rong. I just don't believe that your girlfriend would agree to let you raise a brain-damaged child."

  Finally, the three good friends discussed and decided that A Fei would temporarily stay at Hua Zhen's home, where Hua Zhen's mother would help take care of him. Meanwhile, they continued to find a psychologist for Lu Lü, insisting that Lu Lü must see a psychologist.

  "My dress shop has been quiet lately, when my mom is busy I take her to my store and Su Zhi can also help me watch it," said Hua Shuo. "In the future, if there's nothing else going on, just go to my dress shop to find me, I'll treat you to free coffee."

  Before Hua Yun and Zheng Rong left, Song Yuqiao suddenly thought that Pei Si Cheng seemed to have a friend who opened a psychological counseling room, named Zhou Yue, and had seen him at dinner before, so he stopped Hua Yun and mentioned two sentences.

  Hua Yun said: "Alright then, you tell Pei Si Cheng about it and let him take the initiative to find Lu Luan."

  Zheng Rong pulled Huaiyu's arm from behind.

  It wasn't until the two of them had pushed Ah Fei downstairs that Zheng Rong said, "Didn't you notice those two suitcases leaning against the wall over there? The room was clearly just cleaned, and the things in the suitcases were all put on the bed without being tidied up. It's definitely Yu Qiao and Pei Si who had a fight, and they've only just come back to this side.

  After Zheng Rong said that, Hua Zhen also felt that something was wrong. Wasn't Song Yuqiao still living in Huayuan a while ago? How did he suddenly return to the rented Jinshui apartment?

  "Whatever, I'll call Pei Sheng to ask about the psychiatrist. You men are all so unreliable, I'm thoroughly disappointed."

  "Huh, what does this have to do with me?" Zheng Rong took the stroller from Hua Zhen's hands, "I've always been behind you."

  "That's your girlfriend in front of you," Hua Yun couldn't help but smile, "don't get yourself a green hat, I'm really scared now that Pei Ying is rushing towards me with a kitchen knife."

  "I broke up with Pei Ying."

  To be exact, it should have been a breakup proposal, but Pei Ying has yet to agree.

  "Broken up?!" Huayun suddenly shrieked.

  Hua Yun's reaction was much bigger than Zheng Rong had expected. He turned his face to look at Hua Yun, "Yes, let's separate."

  Huā Jiàn directly came to shake hands with Zhèng Róng, beaming with joy, "Congratulations! You've finally escaped the devil's clutches! Congratulations, you're now a single noble like me!"

  Zheng Rong's expression turned gloomy, and Hua Zhen only then realized she might have misspoken. Even if she herself couldn't stand Zheng Rong's girlfriend Pei Ying, she was still a girl Zheng Rong had liked before. The fingers holding the stroller curled in slightly, and immediately retracted the schadenfreude-like expression from her face: "Zheng Rong, I spoke too quickly, sorry about that... actually you'll meet many people, don't be too heartbroken..."

  The elevator stopped, and Hua Xuan pushed the stroller with one hand, while Zheng Rong followed closely behind her into the elevator.

  In the elevator's mirror, Zheng Rong's stern face was reflected at this moment.

  He moved his lips, but ultimately didn't say it out loud.

  Although Zheng Rong's academic performance was excellent, after all, he was just a graduate student, and the internship work was only considered as an assistant in a research unit, so it wasn't tiring, which is why he had time to accompany Hua Zhen.

  Because the research unit is far from Zheng Rong's current residence, Zheng Qing, Zheng Rong's brother, has a car, but Zheng Qing also needs to drive to work. So Hua Shuang let Zheng Rong drive a car that her cousin bought for her last year.

  "You can drive, I don't mind giving it to you," Hua Xuan smiled, "It's quite a coincidence, I actually went on a blind date with your brother before."

  Hua Yun looked at Zheng Rong again and wanted to refuse, directly handing the car key to him: "You love driving or not, anyway the car is left here for you, if it's lost, it's your problem."

  Zheng Rong smiled and shook his head.

  That night, Zheng Rong returned to his brother Zheng Qing's apartment and put the car in the garage, paying a month's parking management fee.

  Back home, Zheng Rong hesitated for a long time and still confessed to his brother Zheng Qing. In fact, the person he liked was not Song Yuqiao, but Hua Zhen. He and Pei Ying's nominal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship was lifted, and then he went to confess to Hua Zhen.

  But his heart was thumping wildly.

  If such a relationship is exposed, then in the future, even if it's between friends, they may not be as carefree as they are now.

  Zheng Qing lit a cigarette, sat down and said: "Even if it's Huazhen, the daughter of the Hu family, Tang's niece, her daily allowance might be equivalent to what we earn from working hard for a month. Do you think we can afford to pursue her? Zheng Rong, I know you've always been very realistic, yes, that's how it should be. We have to live, and life isn't a fairy tale. Don't blame me for speaking directly. Previously, I met Huazhen once when we were arranged to meet, but in the end, nothing came of it. Her family is too high-class, not someone we can afford to pursue. People are equal, there's no such thing as high or low status."

  Zheng Qing paused for a moment, looked at his brother's expression, and continued: "But you can't be too ambitious, you have to take it one step at a time. The Huas have plenty of property, but what about you? Zheng Rong, you're still in graduate school, you haven't even graduated yet. After you finish your studies, let's say you struggle for two years and manage to buy a house and a car, then how much dowry will you be able to give the Huas to bring Hua Shuang back home?"

  In the quiet night, two brothers had a long talk. Perhaps it was because the nighttime circuitry wasn't very stable, the lights above flickered on and off, making one's eyes dizzy.

  Zheng Rong lowered his head and didn't say anything.

  Zheng Rong had never blamed his brother, as a man, he should indeed be realistic.

  If you can't even afford to give a decent dowry to the bride's family, then what's the point of talking about bringing Hua Xiu back home and living a good life?

  This is also the reason why Zheng Rong has never revealed his true feelings to Hua Xiren.

  Zheng Qing took a drag on his cigarette, exhaled, and the smoke dispersed in the light, with a slightly choking smell. He coughed twice and said: "Now I'm relying solely on myself to buy a house and a car, but the mortgage and car loan are still weighing on me, and I can only rely on my monthly salary to slowly pay them off. However, I feel at peace, this is my own house and car. If you were living in Hua Zhen's house and driving her car, would you feel at peace?"

  "No, Huazheng is not that kind of person."

  "I know, Hua Xuan is not and Song Yuqiao is not either. They won't look down on you because of your family background. Even if you have nothing, they will still treat you as a friend and help you with all their might. However," Zheng Qing said, "Zheng Rong, remember that you are a man."

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao moved out of Huayuan on the first day, and Xi Mei Yu and Dr. Ouligai were doing research in the countryside. Neither of them returned to Huayuan, so there was only Pei Shicheng left in the large house inside Huayuan.

  Pei Si Cheng returned to the company and first went to find Gu Qingcheng, asking about the progress of Su Chao's whereabouts. Gu Qingcheng directly smashed a cigarette box on Pei Si Cheng's body, "Damn it! Do you think I'm a god? Can't even find out anything in less than 24 hours!"

  Xue Mi and Li Mu were also there. Li Mu had just sent Xi Xi to her grandmother's house, so he was resting for a night. Several people gathered together to play cards.

  Xue Miao said: "Pei San, at that time, also said to find you, Li Mu said you have a wife, and are being gentle with her, so didn't disturb you."

  Pei Si chuckled and let Dong Zhe pick up the cigarette case from the ground, slamming it on the table in front of Gu Qingcheng. "We have to get together sometimes, I'm not a henpecked husband."

  Li Mu exaggeratedly chuckled: "Hehe."

  Pei Si Cheng directly pulled a chair from behind and sat down, "Li Mu, I heard that your ex-wife is back to fight with you for the custody of your son?"

  Pei Shu's news was quite well-informed, Xue Miao had not received the news yet, so he simply spoke out and successfully shifted the topic to Li Mu's child-snatching issue.

  Fei Si Cheng joined in, Gu Qingcheng also called Dong Zhe to sit down and play poker together. However, Fei Si Cheng was clearly distracted, losing every round for half an hour, his wallet almost empty.

  Finally, Gu Qingcheng took the poker cards from Pei Si's hand and took a look, "It's really miserable, how come your luck is so bad, you're not only unlucky in love, but also unlucky in gambling."

  A few people left together in the end. Xue Miao didn't drive, Gu Qingcheng was originally going to send someone to see him off, but Pei Si Cheng said: "I'm on my way, I'll take him back."

  "Hua Yuan is east of my house and I don't know when it will be convenient for me to take a detour of several kilometers."

  Pai Si Cheng impatiently honked the horn, "Cut the crap, are you getting on or not?"

  Actually, Huayuan is not in the same direction as Xue's family, but Jinshui Apartment and Xue's family are on the same line.

  On the road, Pei Su told everything from beginning to end, and Xue Miao had already understood it clearly, plus some information he had learned from Gu Qingcheng before.

  Xue Xiao directly and mercilessly attacked: "You really are brain-damaged, just listening to this I know it's some kind of trick between Zheng Jiawei and Zhang Mengxue, otherwise with Song Yuqiao's personality, how could she possibly want to strangle her newborn child to death?"

  Indeed, but what exactly is the reason that makes Song Yuqiao have the urge to strangle her own biological son to death after giving birth?

  Even now, Pei Shichen still didn't understand.

  So, I just want to investigate clearly, but it's already been more than five years, Zhang Mengxue has long been at peace, and the person who knows the truth is probably only Zheng Jiawei now?

  Not necessarily, there is also... Song Yuqiao.

  As long as Song Yuqiao's memory recovers, she should indeed remember what happened back then.

  Pei Shuai sent Xue Miao back to the Xue's house and then drove to Jinshui Apartments.

  Downstairs, Pei Shuai answered Song Yuqiao's phone call.

  But no one answered.

  I dialed again, but still no one answered.

  I really want to go up directly, anyway, I have a spare key in my hand, and this house in Jinshui Apartment is still his.

  However, Pei Sicheng hesitated for a moment in the car and continued to make the call obediently.

  ………………

  Upstairs, Song Yuqiao didn't hear the phone ring because she was in the bathroom giving Pei Hangyu a bath.

  Now the whole house only has Pei Hangyu and Qiao Qiao, Pei Hangyu's little friend was in full bloom, took a bath for an hour and a half, until Song Yuqiao turned around to take the towel to pick up the little guy from the bathtub, Pei Hangyu had already run out with his short legs, wet footprints all over the floor.

  "Xiao Huo, you go..."

  Song Yuqiao hadn't even finished speaking when Pei Hangyu rushed in with a box of little yellow ducks, threw them into the bathtub, and then his shiny little body flipped over the bathtub again, jumping in, blinking at Song Yuqiao with a pitiful expression.

  Song Yuqiao smiled and shook her head: "At most half an hour more, then you must go to bed and sleep. It's already very late today."

  Bae Hwan-young and Song Yu-qiao haggled: "Can't you make it a bit longer?"

  Song Yuqiao hugged her arms, looked down at Pei Huaiyu with a face full of water, holding a huge yellow duck in his hand, and asked: "Then how long do you want to play?"

  Bai Haoyu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then stretched out two fingers: "Twenty minutes."

  Song Yuqiao: "......"

  Coming out of the bathroom, Song Yuqiao changed into a new set of clothes as the ones she had worn to help Pei Huaiyu bathe were completely soaked. Just as she was unfastening the clasp on her bra, she heard the ringtone of her phone.

  It's so late, who could it be?

  Song Yuqiao jumped down from the bed, possibly having not lived in the Jinshui apartment for a long time, and was unfamiliar with the room's layout. As she walked forward, she wasn't paying attention and bumped into the foot of the bed, causing her toes to cramp up in pain. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

  She crouched down, one hand rubbing her toes and the other holding the phone to answer directly with a swipe of the screen. Her vision was somewhat blurry, and she didn't see the name on the screen.

  "Hello."

  "Cried?"

  Song Yuqiao's nasal tone was slightly heavier on the phone, because her toes had been pierced by a thorn and hurt for a moment, but now it had eased up and was fine, yet she hadn't expected that Pei Si Cheng would pick up on it from just one word.

  "Who is Pei?"

  Pei Si Cheng heard Song Yu Qiao calling his name and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's me."

  Song Yuqiao took down his mobile phone and deliberately looked at the screen again to confirm that it was indeed Pei Sucheng, then directly hung up.

  “……”

  As soon as Pei Si Cheng said "it's me", the sound on the other end of the line had already become a busy tone.

  Song Yuqiao put his phone on the table, turned around to change clothes, glanced at the time, and went to the kitchen to heat up milk for Pei Hangyu.

  The hot milk came out and saw the phone screen on the table light up again.

  Song Yuqiao walked over and saw it was a WeChat message.

  From "I was wrong".

  Song Yuqiao: "......"

  Because Pei's original WeChat name was "Beer", it was easy to recognize, so Song Yuqiao didn't change the remark name. Who would have thought that this time not only changed the name, but also changed... the profile picture.

  Previously, Peisong's avatar was a mug of beer, now it has been changed to a cartoon character that keeps kowtowing.

  "Wife, I've come to ask you for the key on the door. I forgot to bring it and now I have nowhere to go."

  ………………

  Pei Si Cheng really spent a lot of effort, in the car downstairs, it took some time to find a Meng Meng Da apology picture. As soon as he changed it, within half a minute, several people in the WeChat group commented on it.

  "Extra! Extra! Pei San Ge has changed his portrait!"

  Lu Jingzhong: "Pai Sange, who are you going to apologize to?"

  "Is it New Year's? Give me the red envelope."

  "Come on, come on, I'll give you some money."

  Xue Miao: "Damn it, Pei San, you're so lame."

  Pei Si Cheng looked at them with a particularly speechless expression, and indeed didn't have the extra mental energy to joke around with these old men, so he simply blocked them and sent a message to Song Yu Qiao.

  Then, Pei Su was finally able to get a call from Song Yuqiao.

  Song Yuqiao said: "I don't have the key, the key is at your home."

  "It's impossible, you knew you took the key at that time, how can it be possible that you didn't take the key now."

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao held her phone and walked to the balcony, looking down, it was a car that Pei Shichen often drove, Pei Shichen leaned against the car door, looking up at the window, just in time to see Song Yuqiao poking her head out from the balcony, so he waved his hand.

  She subconsciously touched her chest when she heard Pei Su mention it, as if there was still a red string here, tied with a door key.

  "Your voice has a hint of low, husky tone," Pei Si Cheng said, "At that time, you came back on your own. Now, I'm here to pick you up. What do you say? The house key hasn't been changed, it's still the one you had."

  Song Yuqiao withdrew her head from the balcony and looked up at a tall building in front of her, feeling a dull ache in her heart.

  The dream from last night became clearer and more vivid after waking up.

  "Come on down, honey, I'll take you and the boy home."

  Song Yuqiao's eyes were slightly blurry in front of her, she rubbed the corner of her eye, and pressed two fingers on her brow, but suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

  "Wait."

  When Pei Sicheng heard these two words from Song Yuqiao's mouth, his heart had already skipped a beat.

  Song Yuqiao was puzzled: "Isn't the gate of Huayuan a password lock? When did it need a key? I don't even have a key."

  Pei Si Cheng: “......”

  Opening his mouth again, Song Yuqiao's voice had already turned icy, "You've been deceiving me all along, and you're still deceiving me now."

  "No, Qiao, it's all my fault, I was wrong..."

  "Are you wrong? How come I didn't notice, where did you go wrong?"

  Pei Si Cheng: “......”

  The phone has already hung up.

  Pei Si hastily dialed back, but it had already become unreachable.

  Pei Si Cheng really didn't expect that one day he would also experience the feeling of being blocked by someone's phone number, it's really... so sour and refreshing.

  ………………

  At this moment, Li Bei, who had just wanted to indulge in a gentle dream, received a midnight call from his boss.

  Li Bei looked at her phone and really didn't want to answer it.

  However, for his salary and even more for his own life, Li Bei answered his boss's phone with a resigned attitude.

  "Go to Jinshui Apartment now and lend me your mobile phone."

  "Is."

  But in his heart he was complaining: it's midnight, can't the boss give me some challenging work? I'm all excited for nothing.

  "By the way, help me get a new mobile phone card at the business hall."

  Li Bei's mind twisted a bit, indeed, this task was a bit more difficult, at this time point, which business hall was still open?! Fortunately, his girlfriend had just applied for a new card yesterday and hadn't used it yet, so he would borrow it from the boss first.

  Then Pei Si continued: "One is not enough, let's get twenty first."

  Lei Bei: *silence*

  It was late at night, and Li Bei was a bit collapsed.
