At twelve o'clock in the night, Pei Yanzhou came in from outside on crutches and changed into clean cotton pajamas.
After the bodyguard saw that he had successfully arrived at the bedside, he immediately closed the door and left.
"Still not sleeping yet?" Pei Yanzhou deliberately took a shower downstairs, mainly because he was afraid of disturbing her sleep.
"Wait for you."
Cheng Xi lay on the pillow and stared at him with dark eyes, "Did the Mu family scold you today?"
Pei Yanzhou avoided her eyes with complicated emotions.
"Did you blame me today?" Cheng Xi spoke again, with a low voice, "I really didn't know she had a heart disease."
"I know."
Pei Yanzhou gently patted the back of her hand, "Auntie is only in her fifties, and there is no genetic history of this in her family. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have heart disease at such a young age. The doctor said that it is mainly due to the physical damage done when she was young. , I said that the conditions of the Mu family were very poor before, and then they took me back. The two of us raised three children, and we were so short of money. When I was young, my aunt opened a bun shop, and she had to supervise us at night. After doing homework, after we went to bed, she had to chop stuffing until midnight, and got up at four or five in the morning to make dumplings, which was very tiring."
Cheng Xi fell silent.
In the past, she only blamed Pei Yanzhou for being too tolerant and tolerant towards the Mu family.
But I have never experienced it deeply from his standpoint.
Pei Yanzhou said, "I can't deny the changes in the Mu family's mentality over the years, but Aunt Mu will get this disease because she was more or less dragged down by my childhood."
"So..." Cheng Xi's red lips parted slightly.
"Cheng Xi, can we postpone our engagement for a while?" Pei Yanzhou pleaded, "Just postpone it for half a month."
"That's it?"
Cheng Xi smiled.
Pei Yanzhou touched his nose nervously. He was afraid that Cheng Xi would be angry, "I think there is another reason for the delay. Originally, this time it was because your Aunt Mu suddenly fainted. If we were still engaged when Aunt Mu had the surgery, I was worried about Mu My uncle won’t let Mu Xuetong testify in court for you then.”
Especially today, he truly felt his father's anger.
The lawsuit never went to trial.
Even though Pei Yanzhou hated Mu Xuetong very much, he had to endure it in order to avoid any problems in Cheng Xi's lawsuit.
As a businessman, he knows very well that when a person is still valuable, he must not do too much.
Cheng Xi was startled and covered himself with a quilt, "If you postpone it, postpone it. I didn't insist on getting engaged in the first place. You were the one who was anxious to get engaged."
That nonchalant attitude immediately made Pei Yanzhou unhappy, "You don't seem to mind at all. Do you actually not want to get engaged to me at all?"
Cheng Xi, who was suddenly wronged, laughed angrily, "Pei Yanzhou, you have to make me angry, right? It's you who said you were going to get engaged, and you're the one who postponed it. I support your decision, but you blame me in turn, right? You would be happy if I scolded you and packed up your things and left in the middle of the night."
Pei Yanzhou: "..."
He lowered his head guiltily.
That’s not what it means either.
Cheng Xi snorted, "I think you are a bitch."
After saying that, she turned off the light and went to sleep directly.
Pei Yanzhou got into the quilt dejectedly and nuzzled towards her shamelessly, "Baby, don't be angry. I was a bitch just now."
"Go away, it's too hot." Cheng Xi pushed him.
"No way, it's cold now, it's only warm if two people hug each other."
Pei Yanzhou didn't care, but he relied on her to kiss and touch him anyway.
Cheng Xi wanted to kick him, but as soon as his legs moved, Pei Yanzhou said, "My feet are finally getting better. Don't kick them randomly. If you break them, I might end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life."
"I think you've adapted well to being in a wheelchair." Cheng Xi sarcastically said.
