Chapter 481: Chapter 479: Having a Child?
Xia Wenyan heard the sudden change in tone on the other end of the phone and his peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, "Brother Pei, you’re happy too, aren’t you?"
Since he couldn’t see Pei Huai’s expression, Xia Wenyan was completely oblivious to how misleading his words just had been.
As he walked through the Song Mansion, he couldn’t help but continue mumbling to Pei Huai, "When you come back to the country, I’ll bring her to meet you. She’s really adorable, I’ve never seen such a cute girl before. It’s just that she’s a little pitiful right now, but maybe by the time you come back, she will be much better."
There was no response for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Xia Wenyan even suspected that the signal on the other side wasn’t very good.
He looked at his phone quizzically, and if it weren’t for the numbers still changing, Xia Wenyan would have thought the call had been disconnected.
"What’s her name?"
Pei Huai’s voice came through the phone again, only this time, his voice had a noticeable chill.
Xia Wenyan’s brows furrowed slightly. Despite his confusion, he slowly began, "Her name is Yuan Yuan."
"Heh."
Yuanyuan?
He seems to be quite intimate with her.
How long has it been since he left?
And there’s already a woman by his side that he likes so much?
He clearly said he wanted to find someone who would be good to him...
Is that woman good to him?
Has she even surpassed him?
Pei Huai felt his reasoning quietly crumbling.
What should he do to make that woman disappear without a trace?
Should he have someone get rid of her before he returns to the country?
"Fourth brother?" 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Suddenly, Lu Zhaozhao’s voice came through the phone, "Who are you talking to?"
Xia Wenyan looked up and saw Lu Zhaozhao approaching, his smile deepening instantly, "I’m talking to Brother Pei about Yuan Yuan."
"Brother Pei agreed?" Lu Zhaozhao’s brows lifted slightly, unable to refrain from asking.
"..."
Pei Huai listened to the conversation between the two on the phone, and his face darkened even more.
Lu Zhaozhao also knew about this woman called Yuanyuan, and she had no extreme reaction?
Could it be that woman had also charmed Lu Zhaozhao?
Pei Huai’s mood became even more chaotic.
He had thought Lu Zhaozhao was on his side, and now she was also siding with that woman?
Pei Huai’s heart couldn’t help but sink, even looking at the phone with a touch of despair.
Even if he was reborn, would he still not be able to be with him?
Could he really only silently bless him from his side?
Pei Huai laughed self-deprecatingly. He had once thought... but after spending so much time with Xia Wenyan, he was not content...
He took a deep breath and said lightly into the phone, "Yanyan, I want to speak with Zhaozhao for a moment."
He wanted to know exactly who this woman called Yuanyuan was...
Xia Wenyan, feeling slightly unwilling, handed the phone to Lu Zhaozhao, "Here, little sister, Brother Pei wants to talk to you."
Lu Zhaozhao’s brows lifted slightly, looking at the phone in Xia Wenyan’s hand with a bit of puzzlement, but ultimately, she took it.
"Hello, Brother Pei?"
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before speaking, "That woman named Yuanyuan is having Yanyan’s child? When did they get together?"
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?!"
Lu Zhaozhao felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She looked at her phone in disbelief and then turned to Xia Wenyan, who sat beside her, his face the picture of innocence.
What on earth had they just exchanged?!
Pei Huai took a deep breath, trying to suppress the gloom in his heart, "I mean that woman named Yuanyuan, when did the devil... "
"Shut up!"
Before Pei Huai could finish his next sentence, Lu Zhaozhao blurted out, unable to help herself.
She rubbed her temples irritably, "Who told you Yuan Yuan was a woman? No... Who told you Yuan Yuan was grown up? She’s still a five-year-old child, alright?"
"????"
Pei Huai on the other end of the line was clearly confused as well.
Lu Zhaozhao sighed without words and turned her gaze to Xia Wenyan, unable to resist questioning him, "Big Brother Four, how did you describe Yuan Yuan to Brother Pei just now?"
Xia Wenyan looked at her blankly, blinked, and said, "I said I have a child now."
"..."
Good heavens, she inwardly exclaimed.
Couldn’t they just say everything all at once?
Lu Zhaozhao rolled her eyes in exasperation, took a deep breath, and had to clarify to the person on the phone, "To be precise, it’s you and my Big Brother Four who have the child."
"?!!!!!"
Now Pei Huai was even more shocked.
Lu Zhaozhao, with no other choice, went through the whole story with Pei Huai.
After a moment, she asked again, "That child is now at the Song Mansion, and my Big Brother Four has already decided to adopt her, but I think he may not be able to handle it alone, so Brother Pei..."
"Don’t worry, as long as Yanyan likes her, I have no objections," Pei Huai said, his voice light but carrying a touch of relief.
From liking someone who might have had a child with another woman he liked, to just adopting a child.
It was an earth-shattering difference.
Pei Huai didn’t even feel like blaming Xia Wenyan anymore. As long as this thing was false, that was enough.
As for the way Xia Wenyan expressed himself leading to this misunderstanding, it didn’t matter.
The key was, he was still there.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Lu Zhaozhao also breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked disdainfully at the "culprit" sitting beside her, who was still eagerly peeling oranges, completely oblivious to the storm he had just stirred up.
Lu Zhaozhao silently covered her face and sighed soundlessly, whispering to Pei Huai on the phone, "Brother Pei, I’m really sorry for the trouble, my brother’s brain sometimes doesn’t work very well. We’re going to have to rely on you, this family would fall apart without you."
Pei Huai couldn’t help but laugh softly, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Yanyan and our daughter."
At his words, Lu Zhaozhao seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, Brother Pei, Mr. Song told me that you’re having some trouble with your business, how’s it going now?"
Due to the recent shock provided by Xia Wenyan, Pei Huai’s mind had cleared up significantly.
Thinking back to when he left the café, and the now completely disfigured face of Feng Ya Meizi, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Mm, it’s been resolved. Just need to tie up some loose ends in the next couple of days, and it should be fine."
His casual tone made it impossible to realize the terrible things he had done.
Later, Pei Huai seemed to remember something else, "Yanyan hasn’t run into any trouble lately, has he?"
Lu Zhaozhao laughed lightly, "The biggest trouble he has is you not being in the country. He’s so bored he’s even started to internally compete and stir up his business. It’s incredible..."
Pei Huai couldn’t help but curve the corner of his mouth up, thinking of Xia Wenyan’s face, and couldn’t stop his mood from rising...
