Pei Song had just finished examining the patient and stood up when he heard this. “What? Where’s he now?”

Pei Huai replied, “he’s with me and he’s crying a lot. I’ll send him to you later.”

“…thanks” Pei Song said after a while, his knuckles turning white as he held the phone.

Sonya, who was not far away, heard Pei Huai’s words.

She pursed her lips tightly and her hands were red.

Why did no one understand her?

Both of them were like this.

Did they think that she liked it when she saw her son crying on the street?

However, Pei Xingxing had been crying for his mother just now. If she went out, the news of her secret marriage and her son would be on the news headlines in less than half an hour.

At that time, everything would be over!

All her years of hard work had been in vain!

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to acknowledge her son, but she definitely had to find the right time, right?

She had been waiting here all this time because she was worried about him.

Pei Huai hung up the phone expressionlessly and did not look at her again. He pulled Pei Xingxing away.

No matter how many reasons Sonya had, he could not agree with what she had just done.

Apart from safety concerns, her actions just now would have a huge psychological impact on the child.

Had she ever thought about it?

Pei Huai walked to the car and knelt down. “Xingxing, don’t cry.”

He was still crying.

“Ms. Su Ji is sleeping inside. You’ll wake her up if you cry.”

It was as if someone had pressed the mute button on Pei Xingxing. With a whoosh, he immediately stopped crying.

Pei Huai narrowed his eyes.

Pei Huai opened the back door for him, but he did not get in. Instead, he pointed to the passenger seat.

Pei Huai didn’t want to wake Su Ji up, so he had no choice but to gently open the passenger door for him.

It was only half open.

Pei Xingxing handed the LEGO box in his hand to Pei Huai and carefully reached for Su Ji’s hand.

He touched it lightly.

He was really sad today, but he felt better after touching Su Ji’s hand.

Pei Huai smiled. He lowered his head and saw Pei Xingxing asking him for the LEGO box.

The box had been crumpled, and there were tear stains on it.

Pei Huai handed it to him with one hand. “You like this so much?”

Pei Xingxing didn’t reply. He obediently took the box and climbed into the back seat.

This was the first present his mother gave him.

He was the little young master of the Pei family, and he could have any kind of toy he wanted, but nothing from his mother.

Su Ji was in a deep sleep. Pei Huai made a trip to the Pei family’s house and sent Pei Xingxing home.

When Pei Song and Pei Qingshen came out to pick him up, they also saw Su Ji lying in the passenger seat.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone got in and out of the car quietly, so Su Ji did not hear anything.

She was now at ease with Pei Huai and was not wary of him.

On the way back, Pei Huai bought some fruits and gifts. It was his first time going to his girlfriend’s house and he couldn’t go empty-handed.

After a few twists and turns, the car finally arrived at Su Ji’s home. Pei Huai then woke Su Ji up in a gentle voice.

Su Ji yawned.

The Pei family had seen her sitting in Pei Huai’s car, but she did not know.

Because they took a detour, they could already smell the food when they reached home.

Su Ji sniffed and said seriously, “I’m hungry.

Pei Huai smiled and took his thermos. “Let’s go.”

After entering the house, Pei Huai explained to Xu Mingzhi why he was late.

Xu Mingzhi was especially nice to him and said that it was okay. “Don’t buy anything next time you come. Don’t be so polite.”

Xu Mingzhi didn’t need to ask to know what kind of side effects the drug had caused.

She was both worried and distressed.

Her heart ached for Pei Huai for having this problem at such a young age, but she was worried that if he could not be cured, should she persuade her daughter to break up with him?

It was a little unkind, so Xu Mingzhi temporarily put away this thought.

She asked Pei Huai and Su Ji to stay in the living room for a while. Although Aunt Wu was busy in the kitchen, she was still smiling and looking very enthusiastic.

This was the first time the young miss had brought a boyfriend home, so she had to show her best skills.

The madam had just ordered a few dishes, and she bought the freshest ingredients. There were some dishes that she was not very familiar with, but she would try her best!

An hour later, all the dishes were served.

Xu Mingzhi beckoned at them to serve the food. Then, she put his arm around Su Ji’s shoulders and whispered to her, “baby, today’s dishes were prepared by Pei Huai. There might not be anything that you like to eat. I’ll get Aunt Wu to make it for you later.”

Su Ji did not mind. “It’s okay, mom. I’m not a picky eater.”

Although Pei Huai would prefer his girlfriend to eat something she liked, he was in a good mood after being treated so nicely by his future mother-in-law.

He pulled out a chair and sat down.

Pei Huai smiled and looked at the dishes on the table, ready to compliment them.

Longan soft-shelled turtle soup, oyster stewed tofu, leek stir-fried geoduck, leek fried kidney flower buns…

As he looked at them, Pei Huai’s smile gradually disappeared.

Xu Mingzhi glanced at him awkwardly and immediately said, “don’t overthink it! These dishes have nothing to do with your condition!”

Pei Huai’s mouth twitched slightly. “Thank you for your hospitality.”

The family began to eat, and the atmosphere was warm.

Next door, Su Cunyi had deliberately returned home early today to ask Pei Huai what had happened last night and why he was in his daughter’s room!

However, Pei Huai did not return for a long time.

He sat in the living room in a huff, his gaze sweeping out of the window.

From his position, he could see the dining room next door.

In the next second, his jaw dropped to the ground in shock.

Why was Pei Huai next door?

He even had a nice meal with his ex-wife and daughter?

On this side, no one noticed the resentful face on the window next door.

While they were eating, Wei Wei came over.

After sending Xu Mingzhi a few documents related to the contract termination process, she mentioned the new spokesperson.

“Tell me about the new spokesperson,” Xu Mingzi said in a professional and efficient manner.

Wei Wei nodded.

As the two of them were talking, Su Ji suddenly said, “I’ve contacted a new spokesperson. I’ll send the info to you later.”

Xu Mingzhi was surprised. “Baby, you’ve also thought of a new spokesperson for me?”

Wei Wei was a little worried. She didn’t want to reject her idea, but she was also afraid that it would not be suitable for the company.

“Ms. Su, is the person an artist from Blue Whale? Blue whale’s artists are all pretty good, but because we were using a European spokesperson, it’s best to have another European…”

Su Ji’s expression was relaxed. “How about Bill?”
