“Pei Huai has been absent-minded the whole day since you were away.” Pei Xi smiled and patted the spot beside her bed.

Su Ji also smiled and wanted to go over, but Pei Huai blocked her way.

He paused for a few seconds before he moved aside.

Su Ji sat on Pei Xi’s bed.

She found out that her goddaughter was still in the intensive care unit and was not there.

Su Ji first looked at Pei Xi’s condition.

With Pei Huai taking care of her, she was actually quite at ease.

Pei Huai moved a chair and sat beside them.

Su Ji was back, and his gaze returned to her.

As soon as Su Ji got up, he asked her if she was thirsty. His reaction was very fast. Su Ji found it funny, but also felt that it was familiar.

Pei Huai wanted to pour her a glass of water, but Su Ji pushed him back to his seat with one hand, It was a simple action, but it was seductive, She said, “I’ll do it myself. I’m tired from sitting, so I’ll stretch.”

Although she had switched back, the pain from the bumpy ride on the horse seemed to still be there.

She couldn’t sit still.

Pei Huai watched her pour water and then watched her come back with the cup.

Su Ji had originally planned to sit back down beside Pei Xi’s bed, but when she brushed past Pei Huai, he grabbed her wrist. The man exerted force and she sat on his lap.

How strong was that force?

From standing to sitting down, the water level of the cup in Su Ji’s hand swayed slightly, but not a single drop spilled.

Pei Xi first looked at Pei Huai, blinked, and then looked at Su Ji.

For some reason, she felt that familiar feeling.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled. She also felt that it was strange.

Su Ji asked her what she was laughing about. Pei Xi said, “you clearly came to see me yesterday, but why do I feel like…we haven’t seen each other for a long time? I really miss you.”

Su Ji smiled. “A day apart feels like three years

She cleverly changed the topic. Pei Xi looked at her beautiful peach blossom eyes and was mesmerized by them.

But a few days ago, she didn’t feel this way.

When Su Ji was in Pei Xi’s ward, Pei Huai could not ask her what exactly happened or whether the process went smoothly.

But knowing that she was back, he felt at ease.

He kept hugging her and letting her sit on his lap. When Su Ji was talking to Pei Xi, he wrapped one arm around her and held her hand with the other. He placed her hand in his palm and rubbed it repeatedly. He could not get enough of it.

Later, Pei Xi asked Su Ji if she wanted to go to the intensive care unit to see her daughter. Before Su Ji could answer, Pei Huai said that he would bring her there.

Pei Xi could tell that her younger brother did not want to stay in her room for even a moment.

Pei Xi told him to get lost quickly.

The neonatal ICU was not far from her ward. Even if something happened to her, Pei Huai could still come back in time.

Pei Huai was in a really good mood. No matter what Pei Xi said, he would listen

patiently.

When they left Pei Xi’s ward, he walked in front while Su Ji was one step behind him.

When Su Ji left the ward, he turned around and pushed the door open with one arm while hugging Su Ji with the other.

For a moment, Su Ji was almost suffocated.

She was hit by the force and her back hit the door.

Inside the room, Pei Xi craned her neck suspiciously and glanced at the door, her eyes narrowing into a thin line.

Pei Huai hugged Su Ji very tightly. What was in his arms at this moment was all he had.

Su Ji was afraid that he would press down on her stomach, so a few minutes later, she distanced herself from him.

The first thing she did when she came back was take her pulse.

The one in her stomach came back with her.

“I promised you that I would come back and see you at the hospital,” she said as she looked into his eyes.

She was a person of her words.

Of course, she didn’t tell Pei Huai about the thrilling events that almost caused her to be unable to return.

However, Pei Huai seemed to be able to feel it. His thin lips curled up. “It doesn’t feel real.”

He had imagined this scene countless times in his mind. Once he closed his eyes, he would also dream of Su Ji returning. When he thought about it, he did not dare to think about it anymore.

Every time Su Ji came back, he would wake up from the dream.

There was nothing more despairing than being separated by time and space.

He didn’t know how he had survived this period of time.

Su Ji tilted her head. A moment later, she raised her hand and hooked it around the back of his firm neck. As she pulled him down, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his mouth. It was quite domineering. “What about now?” She licked her lips and asked, “is it real now?”

But Pei Huai still said no. “It is too short, let’s make it longer.”

Listen to how greedy he was.

Su Ji chuckled and buried her fingers into his hair, combing it back.

Pei Huai pulled her into his arms again.

It didn’t matter if they didn’t kiss or just hugged.

Su Ji went to the intensive care unit to visit her goddaughter and said that she would video call Pei Xi.

In the end, the two of them had left the ward for more than ten minutes. Pei Xi held her phone in her hand and looked outside the door. She could clearly hear some sounds. Until now, let alone sending her a video call, the two of them had not even left the door of her ward!

After another five or six minutes, Su Ji finally remembered the serious matter and asked Pei Huai to lead the way for her.

Pei Huai said, “she’s not your goddaughter.”

Su Ji had both hands in her pockets. “If I say yes then it’s a yes.”

Although Pei Huai liked her being unreasonable when she was certain of something, he said, “that’s your niece.”

Su Ji glanced at him.

Standing outside the ICU, Su Ji pressed one hand against the transparent glass wall and the other hand subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.

So this was how a child was born. When she saw Pei Xi lying on the hospital bed just now, she was clearly very haggard, but she was in good spirits.

She had given half of her essence to the little guy in the incubator. It was something that could not be replenished no matter how much snow lotus and old ginseng she ate, but she was still willing to do it.

Mothers were all like this.

Pei Xi was like this, and so was Xu Mingzhi.

What about her?

Would she be like this too?

Pei Huai’s heart and eyes were filled with Su Ji and he did not notice anything else.

Later on, after the video call with Pei Xi ended and the image was cut off, Pei

Huai remembered to ask her, “did Bian Tong send you back?”

Logically speaking, that should be the case. However, he had not seen Bian Tong since then, and his phone was still switched off.

“Lawyer Bian?” However, when Su Ji heard his question, she looked at him strangely. “When I came back, I stood in the array. Those treasures were still on the ground. I put them back in my bag. They looked expensive, but…l’m the only one there.”

Pei Huai’s eyes froze for a moment.

“I didn’t see anyone else,” Su Ji confirmed once again. “I didn’t see Lavvyer

Bian….”
