Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “Yaoyao, did you feel anything?”

Yaoyao: “No.”

Li Xiwu asked, “Does my forehead burn?”

Yaoyao was muffled. “I still can’t feel it.”

When he was sick, they clearly probed his forehead with their hands or pressed their foreheads against his to feel if he was sick. Why couldn’t he feel it when he did the same?

Li Xiwu took the opportunity to pull Yaoyao into her arms. “I’m fine. I’m sorry to wake you up so early. Why don’t I sleep with you for a while more?”

Yaoyao nestled in Li Xiwu’s arms. “Okay.”

Li Xiwu pulled the blanket over the two of them. Although Yaoyao said that he was not sleepy, he quickly fell asleep in her arms.

Li Xiwu couldn’t sleep. She remembered the near-broken dream. She didn’t know if it was a fantasy nightmare or if it really existed in her memory, but it still felt real. It was as if she had experienced it herself.

If Li Huaisheng was really her father, could the haggard woman in the dream be her mother? There were still traces of the turmoil in Country T. The memorial to the Li Mansion would always exist, and the woman in the dream seemed to have never existed.

What had Li You experienced? Why was every dream so painful? And what about that bulging belly? Could it be that she’d been pregnant?

The moment this thought appeared in her mind, Li Xiwu immediately rejected it.

Impossible!

If she had been about to return to the country as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the year Li You’s accident, it would have been impossible for her to get pregnant.

The dream was too vague. She could not see everyone in the dream clearly. Her bulging stomach might be her imagination too.

Her thoughts were too chaotic. Li Xiwu put these things aside for the time being and did not think too much about it. On the other hand, she felt that she might be able to give Qiao Qiao’s nasty trick a try. It was too difficult to investigate it herself. If she got Pei Jingzhou drunk and got information from him, she might know more.

However, doing so would either succeed or fail.

And the possibility of failure was very high!

With these complicated matters in mind, Li Xiwu set the alarm for an hour. Then, she hugged Yaoyao and gradually fell asleep.

She slept lightly. When the blanket was lifted, she opened her eyes in a daze. Pei Jingzhou’s face was reflected in front of her. Li Xiwu immediately turned to look at Yaoyao, but she did not see the figure.

She asked, “Where is Yaoyao?”

Pei Jingzhou said angrily, “The first time you saw me this morning, you didn’t ask me if I slept well last night. Instead, you asked about that kid first?”

Li Xiwu was about to sit up. Pei Jingzhou pressed her shoulder and pressed her back. “Honey, I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Li Xiwu smiled helplessly. “Then why didn’t Fourth Brother sleep well?”

Pei Jingzhou pulled the blanket over the two of them. “I’ve missed you all night.”

Li Xiwu:

Just as Pei Jingzhou was about to make his next move, Li Xiwu suddenly flipped over and pressed Pei Jingzhou down. She saw the smile on Pei Jingzhou’s lips curl up slightly. He even asked her, “Honey, do you want to treat me better?” Li Xiwu pursed her lips and continued to ask seriously, “Where’s Yaoyao?”

Pei Jingzhou sighed softly. “I carried that kid out. He slept very soundly.”

Li Xiwu said, “On the sofa?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Mhm.”

Li Xiwu pushed against Pei Jingzhou’s chest and was about to get up when Pei Jingzhou pulled her down again. She got up again and was pulled down again. He did it twice. Li Xiwu was very helpless. “What if he catches a cold in this weather?”

Pei Jingzhou hooked his arm around her waist and refused to let go. He was angry and amused. He resigned himself to his fate and said, “I’ll put that kid in the master bedroom.”

Li Xiwu looked a little better. The alarm was vibrating. Li Xiwu reached out and turned off the alarm. “Seven-thirty. I’m up.”

Pei Jingzhou did not let go and reminded her, “I just came.”

Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. “Yes, so what?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Don’t you feel it?”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Of course she felt it. This person was really bad! He did not want to let go for a second.

However, Li Xiwu knew Pei Jingzhou’s time too well and did not really let him mess around. A light gratification was enough. Pei Jingzhou was not satisfied and could not be considered refreshed, but he felt a little better.

The cook came. Breakfast was well prepared.

At the dining table.

This time, it was Pei Jingzhou’s idea for Yaoyao to sit beside him. “You have to follow me for the time being. Sit beside me. If you’re disobedient, I’ll sell you when she goes to work.”

Li Xiwu threw the ball of napkins in her hand at Pei Jingzhou. “I already said not to scare him.”

Pei Jingzhou accurately caught the ball of paper and placed it aside. “This kid can tolerate it. He’s expressionless no matter what I say.”

Li Xiwu smiled brightly. “Like you, right?”

Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at the expressionless little guy drinking milk. “That’s too far away.”

Yaoyao looked at Li Xiwu anxiously. “Are you leaving?”

Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes, I have to zo to work.”

Yaoyao pointed at Pei Jingzhou and asked Li Xiwu, “Then why didn’t he go to work?”

Pei Jingzhou drank the porridge calmly. “Because I’m lucky enough to live off a woman.”

Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, “Hmph.”

Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. “Madam Di Xin will pick you up later.”

Yaoyao wanted to say: Can I be with you all the time? But he was sensible enough not to say that out loud, because it seemed like a burden. He couldn’t bring trouble to others. Before Li Xiwu left the table, Yaoyao reluctantly tugged at Li Xiwu’s clothes.

Li Xiwu leaned over and touched Yaoyao’s cheek. “I’ll go change. I won’t leave so quickly.”

Only then did Yaoyao let go with relief.

When Li Xiwu returned to the master bedroom to change, there was a prompt on the door screen.

It was Han Qianye.

The cook went to open the door. “Madam.”

Han Qianye nodded and shouted as she walked in, “Xixi, I’m here. The production team has also arranged a single mission today.”

As soon as she entered, she saw Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao sitting at the dining table but not Li Xiwu. Han Qianye walked past and asked, “Where’s Xixi?”

Pei Jingzhou replied, “She’s changing in the bedroom.” As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. “Mrs. Pei, have you eaten?”

“Me? I’ve eaten.” With that, Han Qianye’s gaze landed on the little guy who was quietly eating breakfast.

Coincidentally, Yaoyao looked up at her. Han Qianye’s face was originally expressionless. When the little guy looked at her, she thought that she was a grandmother after all, so she smiled kindly. “Hello.” Yaoyao lowered his head again, saying nothing.

Han Qianye murmured, “This gene is really identical.”

Pei Jingzhou smiled when he heard this and asked casually, “Didn’t you insist on doing the DNA test? Have the DNA results come out?”

Han Qianye paused for a few seconds. “Yes.”

Pei Jingzhou did not take it seriously and asked, “What was the outcome?”
