Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

Chapter 374 Honey Water

"The smell of tobacco and alcohol doesn't smell good. You can't just tell me that it smells good with your eyes closed just because you're handsome and rich."

Cheng Xi curled her moist lips.

"..."

Pei Yanzhou was speechless.

In the end, he was afraid of catching her breath, so he took the initiative to let go of his arms around her, "Then I'll go brush my teeth and take a shower first."

"Go ahead."

Cheng Xi took advantage of him to go upstairs to take a shower and sorted out the information in the studio.

About twenty minutes later, footsteps were heard upstairs.

Cheng Xi was frying chicken steaks in olive oil in the open kitchen when he heard footsteps and raised his eyes.

The man had already finished bathing, and had changed into a pair of gray-blue pajamas, with checkered house pants underneath. The man had even washed his hair. The smell of tobacco and alcohol just now was gone, and his whole body exuded a refreshing breath.

"Didn't have dinner?" Pei Yanzhou walked to her and frowned.

"I've been working and I forgot. If you hadn't called me, I would have forgotten the time." Cheng Xi explained.

"Work is important, but you must also eat on time." Pei Yanzhou leaned on the kitchen counter with his waist. "When I just graduated, I was almost like you. My mind was full of work and I didn't eat on time. In the end, I was not even thirty yet, and my stomach Something goes wrong all the time, and let me tell you, the gastroscopy tastes very unpleasant.”

"...How uncomfortable is it?" Cheng Xi was indeed young and had never had stomach problems.

"Think about it, a long tube is extended from your throat to your stomach, and then turned over and over inside. How comfortable would it be?"

Pei Yanzhou looked at her, "There is also a colonoscopy, which is even more painful. A tube is drilled from below. Before the drill, you have to take diarrhea medicine to stretch your body."

Cheng Xi opened his mouth, curious, "Have you done this?"

Pei Yanzhou said "Yeah", "So don't make fun of your body."

"I can't do it anymore. I will definitely eat on time from now on." Cheng Xi shook his head quickly.

"And eat less junk food." Pei Yanzhou reminded.

Cheng Xi looked at him seriously for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, "You look like my mother."

"Do I look like your mother?" Pei Yanzhou had a dark face and leaned slightly forward towards her, "Cheng Xi, you deserve a beating."

"You are as nagging as my mother, eat less junk food." Cheng Xi smiled with a smile on her lips, "But I know you all care about me."

Pei Yanzhou's thin lips curled up in satisfaction. He moved his eyes downward and saw her turning the chicken steak over, "Is this what you're eating tonight?"

"Well, chicken chops are low in calories. I'll eat some boiled broccoli and a carrot later." Cheng Xi said quietly, "You stuffed too much food for me in the refrigerator. I'm only staying here." After two days, I feel like I’ve gained weight.”

"Are you fat?" Pei Yanzhou stood up straight and hugged her from behind, "Let me touch and see where you are fat?"

His hands wandered restlessly on her curves, "You're not fat."

"Rogue, don't bother me frying the chicken steak." Cheng Xi pushed him away with a blushing face, "Don't make trouble. If my chicken steak is burnt, I will cause trouble for you."

Pei Yanzhou smiled and said, "Even if you get fat, I won't dislike you."

"Do you think I maintain my figure just for you to see?" Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at him, "I do it for myself, okay? If I have a better figure, I will feel more comfortable looking at it. Women live for themselves. , not for men to watch."

Pei Yanzhou smiled and said nothing.

Maybe the reason why he fell in love with Cheng Xi was because he liked this about her.

The way she works hard for herself is very shining.

He was actually not in a good mood on the way here.

But when I came here and saw her, my heart softened for no reason.

After finishing the simple dinner, Cheng Xi turned around and took out the honey from the refrigerator, dug out a large spoonful of honey and mixed it with warm water. After soaking it, she put it in front of Pei Yanzhou and said, "Drink. Every time Cheng Zhouhua came back after drinking, I would Mom would make him honey water, which I heard can reduce the damage to the stomach caused by alcohol."

Pei Yanzhou looked at the glass of honey water and was startled.

In the past, when returning to the old house after drinking and socializing, Pei's mother would also ask the servants to get him some soup.

But Cheng Xi is his girlfriend, which has a completely different meaning.

Pei Yanzhou took Cheng Xi into his arms, lowered his head, and the warmth in his black eyes was so intense that it couldn't be melted away.

Just when Cheng Xi thought he was likely to kiss her hard the next moment, he suddenly said "thank you" in a low voice.

Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, "You're welcome."

……

9:28 p.m.

Cheng Xi sat at the dining table and started eating. She was really hungry. Even the chicken steaks and vegetables with little oil and water were delicious.

Pei Yanzhou sat on the dining chair opposite and looked at her. On the table in front of him was the cup of honey water she made for him.

Cheng Xi stabbed a piece of broccoli with a fork, "Isn't it Mu Xuetong's father's birthday today? Are you drinking with them?"

"Well, Uncle Mu likes to drink a little wine, so I'll drink some with him tonight."

"Then he should like the gift you gave him." Cheng Xi said enthusiastically, "I thought he was so old, so he chose a black watch, but the dark blue one is also good."

Pei Yanzhou took a big sip of the honey water. It was warm and not very sweet. "It's okay."

In fact, he felt that his father didn't particularly like him.

But he really didn't know what to give.

If it was his biological father, he could give him famous paintings and collectible copybooks. Father Pei was a man of good taste and knowledgeable.

But Mu's father didn't know how to appreciate it, and he didn't have a collection room.

It was a complete waste to give him those things, and it would be even more troublesome if they were stolen.

What's more, he didn't give too much.

If he directly gives tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in cash because the Mu family saved his life, it is very likely that he will harm Mu's father and mother.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

Thinking of these, Pei Yanzhou was a little distracted.

"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Xi noticed.

Pei Yanzhou turned the glass and said, "I'm thinking... I may not know Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu as well as I thought."

He didn't feel comfortable telling Cheng Xi everything about tonight.

He rolled around in the mall and experienced many things. When Director Feng appeared tonight, he had a vague feeling that something was too coincidental.

During this dinner, he was probably taken advantage of by Mu Xuetong and that Zhang Dan.

It is very likely that Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu also knew about it, otherwise Uncle Mu would not have taken the initiative to add Director Feng's WeChat account.

However, he couldn't tell Cheng Xi completely about it. Cheng Xi had always disliked Mu Xuetong and would definitely be unhappy if he found out.

"It's normal. Some people can't fully understand it after living under the same roof for decades."

Cheng Xi suddenly said calmly, "As long as you do your job well and have a clear conscience, it will be fine."

Pei Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled hoarsely, "I didn't seem to say anything, but your words seemed to speak to my heart."
