Chapter 350: Pei Jingzhou: Mine
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Pei Jingzhou was born with a cold face. His expressionless face was always a little scary, making people not dare to approach him.
Especially that extremely oppressive aura.
However, Youyou had never been afraid of Pei Jingzhou since she first met him. Although she was not afraid, she was not close to him because she had never interacted with him before. She was still a little unfamiliar.
Pei Jingzhou was also afraid of scaring Youyou, so he tried his best to soften his voice. “Do you still remember me?
“I remember.” Youyou’s voice was muffled) indicating her unhappiness, but she did not forget to answer.
Hearing that the little guy remembered him, Pei Jingzhou smiled. “We met at the pleasure boat last time.”
Youyou nodded.
He Wang understood what she meant. “So you’ve only met once.”
Pei Jingzhou turned around and glanced at He Wang, signaling him with a warning look. He Wang consciously zipped his mouth and fell silent.
Pei Jingzhou turned around and his face regained its gentleness. He picked up the Ultraman and said, “The toy was accidentally stepped on by him. I’m afraid it can’t be fixed. I’ll get him to buy another one for you. Is that okay?”
Youyou pouted. “Hmph!’
When He Wang heard this snort, his heart tightened. He thought to himself that it was over. The little girl would not reconcile and looked extremely angry.
Pei Jingzhou smiled. “Can’t I compensate you with an identical one?
Youyou bit her lip and seemed to be thinking. After a few seconds, Youyou raised her hand and pointed at the Ultraman in Pei Jingzhou’s hand. “You have to apologize to it. If you say sorry, I won’t be angry anymore.”
He Wang thought he had heard wrong. “Is it that simple?”
Youyou nodded. “Yes, yes.”
He Wang strode forward and said to the trampled Ultraman in Pei Jingzhou’s hand in front of Youyou, “I’m sorry, brother.”
Youyou opened her eyes and said happily, “I’m not angry anymore.”
She said she wouldn’t be angry.
Youyou’s emotions changed quickly. She reached out and took the Ultraman from Pei Jingzhou’s arms. She handed it to He Wang. “This is for you. You have to take good care of it.”
He Wang smiled and took it. “Child, are you entrusting it to me?
Youyou said seriously, “You hurt it, so you have to be responsible for it.”
He Wang couldn’t stop smiling. As he smiled, he replied, “Okay, I’ll be responsible.”
Youyou liked this method of communication very much. If the other party kept agreeing to her and did not refute her, she would be very happy. This was probably like Pei Jingzhou. He liked to keep his word and did not like to be refuted.
Li Xiwu walked over and reached out to He Wang, indicating that he should give her the bowl. She asked, “Is there a point in taking care of a child?”
He Wang handed her the bowl. “Yes, what a cute child.”
Li Xiwu said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to play with Youyou next. I’ll go cook.”
He Wang thought of the culinary skills Li Xiwu had displayed on the show and said in surprise, “I’m so lucky today?”
Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes.”
He Wangs lips curled into an impudent smile. He came over to freeload Pei Jingzhou’s culinary skills. He did not expect his luck to be so good that he could freeload on Li Xiwu’s culinary skills in his lifetime. If he did not eat until he couldn’t walk tonight, he would be letting down his shamelessness today.
He Wang patted his chest. “Don’t worry. I’m a person who’s loved by everyone. This child will definitely be coaxed by me.”
Li Xiwu smiled and returned to the kitchen with the bowl. Pei Jingzhou also stood up. He was about to walk towards the kitchen when He Wang suddenly shouted, “Hey, Fourth Brother.”
Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks.
He Wang stood with a gossipy expression. He lowered his voice and asked,
“Whose child is this?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Mine.”
He Wang snorted. “Are you kidding? If I understand correctly, this is the second time you’ve seen this child today.” Pei Jingzhou said indifferently, “You’re too nosy.”
“I’m just curious,” He Wang muttered.
Pei Jingzhou ignored He Wangs muttering and looked down at Youyou. Then, he walked towards the kitchen.
Today was the first time Li Xiwu had cooked at home.
Pei Jingzhou walked in and saw Li Xiwu busy in an apron. He lightened his footsteps and slowly approached Li Xiwu. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Li Xiwu’s waist. “Why are you suddenly cooking at home today?”
Li Xiwu knew that he had come in, so she was not shocked by the sudden hug around the waist.
Her hands were busy, and she took the time to reply, “Youyou likes cake. I’ll make one for her.”
Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and leaned to the side. “Why did you suddenly bring Youyou home? Did you meet her by coincidence?”
Li Xiwu stopped what she was doing and looked up at Pei Jingzhou. “You didn’t send anyone to follow me after Chen Xin returned?”
Pei Jingzhou’s thin lips curled up. “Do you think I sent someone to follow you?
Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. “You didn’t?”
She had always felt that from the moment Chen Xin appeared, the others Pei Jingzhou had sent must have been following her, including her and Gu Lanshi taking Youyou to the hospital.
At that time, Gu Lanshi had suggested that she do a paternity test with Pei
Jingzhou after bringing Youyou back. At that time, she had thought that Pei Jingzhou had sent someone to follow her. Those people would probably go to the hospital to get the results after she and Gu Lanshi left with Youyou.
Pei Jingzhou should know about this soon.
In the end…
Li Xiwu saw that Pei Jingzhou didn’t look like he was lying to her. After a moment, she smiled. “Are you so trusting of me?”
Pei Jingzhou shook his head. “I’m worried.”
Li Xiwu said, “Then…
Pei Jingzhou’s expression was gentle. “Although I’m worried, trusting you is another matter.”
Hearing this, Li Xiwu was indescribably touched. The corners of her lips were almost curved into a crescent.
“Back to the point.” Pei Jingzhou asked, “Did you happen to meet Youyou and bring her home? Do her parents know?”
One second, Li Xiwu was touched. The next second, she snorted and asked with a smile, “Pei Jingzhou, are you suspecting that I kidnapped a child?” Pei Jingzhou did not say anything, but his expression looked like it.
Li Xi smiled angrily and raised her hand to gently nudge him. “At most, I’ll bring the child to my house as a guest. Why does it look like I’m kidnapping her? Do you think I’ve gone crazy from missing the child?”
The flour in her hand was on Pei Jingzhou’s clothes, but he did not mind. He raised his hand and gently brushed it away. “That’s not what I meant.”
He Wang walked in with two grapefruit in his hand. “Sister-in-law, someone is here to deliver the grapefruit.”
“I ordered it.” Li Xiwu handed the bowl to Pei Jingzhou. “Come and stir it.” Then, she went over to take the grapefruit from He Wang and asked, “Where’s Youyou? What is she doing?”
He Wang smiled casually. “Playing Ultraman. I didn’t know there were so many names for Ultraman these days. What’s the one I stepped on? Tyler? It feels good to relive my childhood.”
Li Xiwu waved her hand. “Hurry up and accompany her. Otherwise, she’ll be bored.”
He Wang nodded. “Okay.”
Li Xiwu said, “By the way, tell Youyou that the cake will have to wait a while. The grapefruit has just arrived.”
He Wang smiled and walked out. As he walked, he said, “Sister-in-law, you’ve worked hard. Make more. I like cake too..”
