Chapter 789: Feeling Lonely
Ah Hai held his cell phone and stared blankly at the page where he was chatting with Er Shao. The red exclamation point on it was particularly eye-catching, making him want to find a hole to hide himself.
Unfortunately, with his head and body shape, hiding him is impossible, but deleting his friend list is definitely a top priority.
Ah Hai immediately cleared his circle of friends, and then warned everyone in the group not to leak the photos anymore, but a warning is a warning, what's the use? Everything that should be seen has been seen, and what should not be seen has been seen. See.
Ahai nestled in the guest room on the first floor of Xia Qing's villa, silently praying that he would not die too miserably.
On the second floor, Xia Qing lay on the bed for a long time before getting up. She took a simple shower and dried her hair without waiting for her phone to ring. Her already bad mood became even worse. Rationally, she felt that she should not spend time with Pei Zhengyang during this period. Angry, but emotionally unable to control myself.
This feeling is particularly bad.
Xia Qing held her cell phone and wanted to call Pei Zhengyang to ask him what he meant, but she felt that she couldn't control her temper now and calling him would only make things worse.
During the hesitation, Xia Qing turned on her phone and stared at the message that Pei Zhengyang had just sent for a while. She felt that the depression was getting heavier. At this time, the phone beeped and a message came in. She sorted out the dialogue between her and Pei Zhengyang. , and saw the message from Ye Qianli, which was a photo of them at grandpa's house in the afternoon.
"I almost forgot to send you the photo. Qingqing, you are so beautiful, Xiong Xiong is so beautiful, and of course I am cute too, hahaha." After sending the picture, Ye Qianli praised Qingqing and Xiong Xiong without forgetting to praise herself.
Xia Qing was amused, "I praise myself for growing up and having no future."
"That's great, I've grown up and I'm still very promising." After Ye Qianli said this, she also sent a very sad emoticon.
Xia Qing laughed and shook her head. She was about to reply to Ye Qianli's message again, "But Qingqing, Lawyer Cheng is so handsome, no, super handsome. Sitting with you makes me feel like a family, like a family of three."
Xia Qing, who was typing, was stunned. He opened the photo again and was slightly stunned after looking at it for a while. Just looking at the photo, the three of them looked like a family. Thinking of this, Xia Qing suddenly realized Pei Zhengyang's inexplicable words. Could it be because I saw this photo?
After the epiphany, Xia Qing was not in a hurry to reply to Ye Qianli's message. She opened her Moments and looked through them, but couldn't find anyone to post this picture. She also specifically clicked on A Hai's Moments, but there was still nothing, but she vaguely remembered what A Hai said. She wanted to send a message to praise Mother Han's cooking, so she pretended to be casual and asked Ye Qianli, "Didn't Ah Hai say that I wanted to praise Mother Han's cooking? Why didn't I see the picture?"
Ye Qianli had no doubt that he was there, "He sent it. As soon as I sent him the photo, he sent it. Qingqing, tell me why he has such a sweet mouth for such a tall and strong man. He is such a good girl, hahaha."
Speaking of Ah Hai, Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Ah Hai's appearance, no one would have guessed that he is a cute guy inside.
Just after listening to Ye Qianli's words and looking at Ah Hai's circle of friends that no longer existed, Xia Qing almost concluded that Pei Zhengyang posted that sentence because he saw Ah Hai's circle of friends. He bit his lip and dismissed Ye Qianli. The picture I sent to her was also posted on WeChat Moments. I thought about it and edited it with two words: "Missing".
After sending the message, Xia Qing went to chat with Ye Qianli.
It was already eleven o'clock when Pei Zhengyang finished talking to Lu Zhan and the others at the club. After getting in the car, he took out his new mobile phone. The previous chat history in it was cleared. He found Xia Qing's number. After looking at it for a long time, he finally decided whether to send it or not. News, I finally got used to clicking on my profile picture and went in. I saw the photo I had seen in Ah Hai’s circle of friends, and my handsome face instantly collapsed.
What annoyed him even more was that Xia Qingpei's copywriting was about nostalgia.
What do you miss? Is it the life before with Grandpa Xia, or the girlhood with the man sitting next to her?
The meaning of this expression of nostalgia is too broad, so broad that Pei Zhengyang can't control his random thoughts.
If Pei Zhengyang was jealous for a moment after seeing A Haifa's circle of friends and sent a message to Xia Qing, then when Xia Qing sent it in person, he didn't even think about asking, although it was sour. He was annoyed, but he knew very well that this was sent to him intentionally by his little fat guy.
It should be in response to his words.
Pei Zhengyang was silent all the way while holding his cell phone. Ah Kuan, who was driving, only wondered if it would be too cold in July. Should he turn on the heater?
However, the atmosphere in the car was too depressing, and even the slightest movement seemed abrupt. Kuan could only resist the urge to turn on the heater and press the accelerator harder to send the second young master back to the manor as quickly as possible.
Even so, it was already twelve o'clock when Pei Zhengyang entered the main house. Unexpectedly, the old man was not asleep again. He was sitting in the living room with a weak light on, waiting for him.
Pei Zhengyang had no interest in being punished and glanced at his grandfather, "Do you know that your body can't stand it?"
"I don't want to go through it, but I'm so angry that I can't sleep." Pei Jian'an looked at his grandson angrily.
Pei Zhengyang rarely refuted, but glanced at the empty living room, which was more than a hundred square meters, and suddenly called grandpa solemnly.
Pei Jian'an, who was about to get angry, was stunned when his grandson called him a grandfather. He felt that it was not a good thing, so he sat aside and said, "If you make your wife run away like a child, don't expect me to get you back. You can chase your own wife."
"That's not what I meant." Pei Zhengyang simply sat across from his grandfather, and when Pei Jian'an subconsciously stepped back and looked at him warily, he said, "Grandpa, didn't you say that it is not appropriate for Qingqing to live in the Pei family's manor without being married?"
"You also know, then why don't you get married yet..."
"I transferred the property rights of the manor to Qingqing's name, so that no one would dare to talk nonsense anymore." Pei Zhengyang directly interrupted his grandfather's words.
The old man who thought his grandson had finally come to his senses because Xia Qing left with the child said, "..."
"Cough cough cough!" Pei Jian'an coughed uncontrollably for a while. After coughing, he looked at Pei Zhengyang and said, "Say it again."
"It's the same thing again. The manor is now in Qingqing's name." Pei Zhengyang tried to speak gently so that the old man could accept it more easily.
Bang!
"Okay, okay, you're very kind. Zhengyang, do you know that this manor has been inherited by my Pei family from generation to generation, and you can give it away as you say?" Mr. Pei was very angry. Although he liked Xia Qing, he couldn't be more fond of that child. There is no reason to give away all the inheritance passed down by his ancestors, right?
Pei Zhengyang nodded, of course he knew.
Pei Jian'an laughed angrily, "You know... ahem..." Pei Jian'an suddenly thought of something in the middle of the scolding, "Tell me honestly, what happened this time that made you even divide the inheritance?"
"Aren't I just afraid that rumors will be bad for Qingqing?" Pei Zhengyang didn't expect that his grandfather would react very quickly despite his age.
"Ha, are you interested in fooling me, an old man?" Pei Jian'an sneered coldly, becoming more and more angry.
Pei Zhengyang knew he couldn't hide it, so he took a deep breath and said, "This is just the worst plan."
"Hmph, I don't know what your temper is?" The old man's voice choked up when he said this, and he sighed heavily after a while, "How much have you hidden from me?"
Pei Zhengyang didn't know how to answer his grandfather. He had also investigated step by step to the current level, but if the old man knew that Pei's century-old pharmaceutical company had become a drug den, he would be hit hard.
"There is some evidence that Cheng Hanyu cannot clear up at present. They are very cautious. I may not be able to escape unscathed when the trial is held on the 20th. Now I can make more plans and naturally have to do more. Besides, doesn't giving this manor to Qingqing mean giving it to Xiongxiong? ? Or from the Pei family." Pei Zhengyang said pretending to be relaxed.
Pei Jian'an laughed angrily, "How can this be the same? Although I like that child Qingqing, but if you really lock her up for ten and a half years, can you bear to let Qingqing wait for you? Then Qingqing won't wait for you, she will naturally If you marry someone, Qingqing will definitely give birth to a child for her husband, what will you say then?"
Pei Zhengyang, who had never thought about this at all, said, "..."
"Why haven't you thought about it? Haha, I thought your mother was too much before, but now I realize that you are really obsessed." What Pei Jian'an said when he was angry was not pleasant at all. After saying it, he felt a little annoyed and sighed softly. , "Well, since you have already given it, no matter how much I say, it will not help. Let's get married as soon as possible when the matter is over."
The old man always felt that his grandson would be fine.
Pei Zhengyang was scolded and silently sent his grandfather back to his room. However, he did not go to bed. Instead, he took a bath to wash away the alcohol smell and returned to the study.
Sitting at his desk, Pei Zhengyang couldn't get into working mode, and his grandfather's words kept repeating in his mind, "If you really lock yourself up for ten and a half years, can you bear to let Qingqing wait for you? Then Qingqing won't wait." You, of course she is going to get married, and if she gets married, Qingqing will definitely have children for her husband..."
Indeed, he had never thought about this before, and more precisely, he had never thought that Qingqing would marry someone else.
Even though he had originally intended to entrust Qingqing to Cheng Hanyu, he didn't really think that Qingqing would marry Cheng Hanyu.
But the old man's words woke him up. If something happened to him, Qingqing would be too young to wait for him forever.
And even if Qingqing is willing to wait for him, how can he bear it?
What's more, this incident is not just as simple as being sentenced...
The more I thought about Pei Zhengyang, the worse his mood became. He took out his phone and clicked on Xia Qing's profile picture. There were many things he wanted to say to her, but at the moment he felt that nothing was appropriate.
He sighed softly and exited the dialog with Xia Qing. Just as he was about to continue working, his phone vibrated first. Pei Zhengyang glanced at it and picked it up, "Say."
"Second Young Master, Pei Shanqian is starting to move." Song Yue reported in a low voice.
"Okay." Pei Zhengyang responded, got up, changed his clothes, and quietly came out of the manor.
After this, Pei Zhengyang didn't come back all night.
…
Rose Valley.
Xia Qingfa's circle of friends was only visible to Pei Zhengyang, but he didn't get a reply from the man until he fell asleep in the early morning, let alone an apology.
This has never happened before.
Thinking of what happened in the past two days, Xia Qing's heart felt like a sponge was stuck in her heart. She was so depressed that she couldn't get up or down. Her whole body felt uncomfortable, depressed and uncomfortable. However, the man opposite her didn't accept her move, so she took the initiative and got even more depressed. .
Lying on the bed and tossing and turning over and over again, Xia Qing speculated on various possibilities, but she rejected them one by one. After checking her circle of friends for the Nth time and still no one responded, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, thinking, Does it count as feeling lonely?
Xia Qing, who felt lonely, hugged the quilt and fell asleep when the white belly of a fish appeared in the sky. Her dream was not peaceful. The man broke into her dream but kept silent. She was anxious and kept shouting in her dream. A Yang, stretched out his hand to try to grab him, but ended up grabbing a chubby hand.
Xia Qing woke up suddenly and saw Xiong Xiong trying to poke her with his little hand. She was startled at first, but the dream just now was still in her mind.
I laughed at myself for a while and thought, does this count as thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night?
After returning to her senses, Xia Qing looked at the little bear who didn't know how to climb onto her bed, and tapped her son's nose, "Little rascal, tell mom, how did you get up here?"
Seeing that his mother was awake, Xiong Xiong happily nuzzled into Xia Qing's arms. He even smiled happily when his nose was touched. He couldn't tell Xia Qing that he couldn't wait for his mother in the morning, so he took advantage of Grandma Yun to get him some urine. Shi climbed down from the crib, sneaked to Xia Qing's room with Pei San and climbed into her mother's bed.
Xia Qing looked at her son's cute chubby face, her heart broken in the dream was healed, and she reached out to hold the little guy in her arms.
Xiong Xiong was even happier being held by her mother. She called her mother, and Pei San barked at the side, as if she was echoing Xiong Xiong. Xia Qing stretched out her hand to block the sunlight coming through the curtains, and asked the little one with a smile, "Grandma Yun?" Woolen cloth?"
Xiong Xiong understood Xia Qing's words and pointed outside to her.
Xia Qing immediately knew that the little guy must have sneaked into her room with Pei San. He reached out and gently poked his son's face, "Little clever guy."
"Well, you little lazy boy." As soon as Xia Qing finished speaking, Yun Niang walked in and teased her with a smile.
Xia Qing was a little embarrassed, hugged Xiong Xiong and stood up. He looked at the time and saw that it was already ten o'clock.
Yun Niang probably guessed that she didn't sleep well at night, so she didn't continue the topic and urged Xia Qing, "Get up and have something to eat. The early education teacher I invited earlier called me. Do you want to come over here? Or should we go back to the manor?"
"Come over here." Xia Qing said without any hesitation, thinking of what the man scolded her last night and her lonely circle of friends that had not been replied to.
Yun Niang hurriedly responded after hearing this.
Xia Qing got up, washed briefly, and led Xiong Xiong downstairs. Pei San followed them step by step. Xia Qing suddenly thought of Xiaofen who was carried back to the manor by herself. She sighed softly, probably because she was carrying him out of loneliness. He just felt sorry for Xiaofen. Keep one on standby.
In the afternoon, Ye Zhao gave early education to Xiongxiong in Qiangxiang Valley. Xia Qing was with him. Compared to that day, Ye Zhao seemed to be in a very good mood today. He adjusted all the questions Xia Qing mentioned last time and spent the whole afternoon in class. Very dedicated.
Before leaving, Ye Zhao also specially added Xia Qing's V-mail to facilitate future contact.
In the next three days, Xia Qing was in Rose Valley. During this period, she called Mr. Pei once. She didn't know if it was Xia Qing's misunderstanding. She felt that the old man was much colder to her and didn't urge them to come back.
Xia Qing guessed that it was because Pei Zhengyang was about to start court and the old man didn't care about anything else. She also knew that her behavior this time was a bit immature. But after Pei Zhengyang scolded her that day, the man never took the initiative to send her a message.
Even if Xia Qing wanted to forgive the other party, he couldn't find a way to do it.
The matter dragged on like this until Pei Zhengyang's court session was about to begin.
