Zhixi was a bit upset. "Who says so? He’s been with me for the past few months."
"But he hasn’t seen you with a big belly, has he?" Pei Yuanchen’s eyes fell on her belly again, clicking his tongue, "Do you know why I wasn’t interested in you at first? Because when we first met, you were a pregnant woman, and I saw you with a big belly for seven or eight months. It was really unappetizing."
Zhixi’s face turned red with anger, and she picked up a sofa pillow to throw at his face, "Jingyao is nothing like you! Go to hell!"
This guy wouldn’t stop until he annoyed her five, six, seven, or eight times a day.
Pei Yuanchen calmly caught the sofa pillow, "I’m trying to comfort you, to make you feel that maybe He Jingyao not being around is a good thing?"
"Shut up!" Zhixi continued to glare at him, "Pei Yuanchen, I think you’re doomed to be single for life! Any woman who has your child must have bad luck for eight generations!"
"Not necessarily. If the baby in your belly were mine, I might think you’re more beautiful than a celestial being," Pei Yuanchen bluffed and then received another sofa pillow.
He sighed, "Not bad, seeing you so full of energy puts my mind at ease."
Zhixi was at once cry-laughing.
She knew Pei Yuanchen was worried she was depressed, so he wanted to comfort her, but his way of comforting was always so cheeky.
Zhixi gritted her teeth and thought, "I’m quite good, spare me your routine."
He lazily laughed and made a gesture of surrender.
At this moment, He Ziyi came back from the garden.
She immediately saw the back of Pei Yuanchen, finding it somewhat familiar. Since Ziyi drew frequently, she was very sharp about people’s postures, so she could almost recognize people from their silhouettes.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized and shouted, "Uncle Xiaobao!"
Pei Yuanchen was startled by the sudden shout!
He quickly turned around, and He Ziyi happily sat down next to him. "Uncle Xiaobao, why are you here? Are you going to stay at my house?"
Pei Yuanchen stared at He Ziyi’s smiling face and couldn’t help but swallow, then cautiously moved back a bit, "I... won’t stay here, and I’m leaving soon."
He Ziyi looked disappointed.
Zhixi was a bit surprised by Pei Yuanchen’s posture. She hadn’t expected Pei Yuanchen to actually be afraid of Ziyi.
Seeing Ziyi’s disappointed face, Zhixi quickly made a decision. She smiled and said, "Where else would you stay if not here? There are many guest rooms in the old house; you don’t have to worry about the trouble."
He Ziyi’s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, my house has many rooms. If you like, I can give you mine."
Pei Yuanchen forced a dry laugh, "No need."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhixi with a slightly threatening tone, "I’m an outsider; it’s inconvenient for me to stay here, right?"
"You’re Uncle Xiaobao, how could you be an outsider?" Zhixi’s smile was very sincere, "Just stay here in peace. Besides, Dad asked you to take care of me. Of course, you should stay with me; otherwise, if something happens to me, you won’t be able to make it in time."
Pei Yuanchen glared at her fiercely.
Zhixi smiled calmly, secretly delighted.
He Ziyi tugged at Pei Yuanchen’s sleeve, her voice soft, "Please stay, okay?"
Pei Yuanchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at He Ziyi’s delicate face, his throat moved, his voice turned slightly hoarse, "Fine, I’ll stay." Content orıginally comes from NovєlFіre.net
