"Are you chasing me away?" Mrs. Pei raised her eyebrows.
Pei Zhi's expression darkened. He immediately shook his head. "Of course not. I know Mother is here on a mission this time. But as you can see, I already have someone in my heart. I even have a child, so I can't comply with your previous proposal. "
Mrs. Pei snorted coldly. "Since you know why I'm here, how can I know that Miss Li is the real deal? Pei Zhi, don't forget that you're my son. The tricks you're playing are all my leftovers. If it's true, I won't force you anymore. If it's not, then I have no choice but to let your uncles talk to you. "
Pei Zhi's expression darkened. After a while, he stood up. "Of course it's true. Mother, if anything happens to you, then stay here and wait."
With that, he turned and went upstairs.
Mrs. Pei sighed. She knew that her failed marriage had caused her son to completely lose faith in marriage. But she had no choice. She couldn't watch him grow old alone for the rest of his life!
*****
Li Chengyan left with Qiao Ning. After getting in the car, he said to Chen Heng, "Go back to Fengcheng immediately."
Qiao Ning was surprised. "We're going back now? That's too fast! Didn't Pei Zhi ask us to put on an act with him? We'll leave without saying a word … "
"Idiot, can't you tell? Pei Zhi isn't doing this to help you. I think he has other motives. "Li Chengyan snorted coldly.
Qiao Ning frowned. "What motives does he have? What benefits does this bring to him? He just doesn't want Mrs. Pei to know of my existence. That's why … "
"Mother, that grandmother just said to let Father deal with you." Qiao Li raised his head and said to Qiao Ning seriously.
Qiao Ning's lips twitched. He asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Li thought about it and said, "Maybe Grandma doesn't like Mom, so she doesn't want Dad and Mom to be together."
Qiao Li still called Pei Zhi "Daddy", and he couldn't change it in a short period of time.
However, this form of address made Li Chengyan very dissatisfied. He immediately said to Qiao Li kindly, "Baby, that's not your father. I'm your father."
Qiao Li looked at him in surprise. He stared at him for a while, then turned to look at Qiao Ning. He held back his laughter and asked pitifully, "Mom, how many dads do I have?"
Qiao Ning felt awkward and hurriedly smiled. He pinched his cheeks and said, "Of course there is only one father. Dudu, this is your real father, your biological father."
Qiao Li looked at Li Chengyan, then pouted and said, "But why do I feel like it doesn't look like it! He doesn't even look like the previous father. "
"This …" Qiao Ning didn't know how to explain it to him. After all, he was only three years old. How could a three-year-old child understand such a complicated relationship?
"It's okay, take your time." Li Chengyan was very magnanimous. He reached out and took Qiao Li from Qiao Ning's arms.
Because Qiao Ning was by his side, Qiao Li didn't feel repulsed by Li Chengyan's embrace. He lay in his arms obediently. He seemed to be a little sleepy. He couldn't help but tilt his little head and lean his little face on his chest. He even rubbed his face against it.
This was the most common gesture of a child, but to Li Chengyan, it was very magical.
He looked at the pink and cute little cutie in his arms and couldn't believe that this was his son.
He couldn't help but sigh. He had missed too much of this child's growth. And those growth could never be found again.
"He must have been even cuter when he was a child!" Li Chengyan saw Qiao Li close his eyes and his long eyelashes fluttering. He couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Ning immediately nodded. "Of course, it was fun. He grew his teeth very early. He grew them at six months, and he spoke very early too … "
As soon as he mentioned Qiao Li's childhood, Qiao Ning couldn't stop praising him.
It was rare that Li Chengyan was interested in this matter. The two of them, one holding the child, talked non-stop for more than half an hour.
"Mr. Li, the road ahead is under construction. We may have to take a detour." The car stopped, and Chen Heng reported to Li Chengyan.
Li Chengyan said, "Then let's take a detour! Let the two of them go back and pack up. We'll go straight back to Fengcheng. "
"Are you really not going to tell Pei Zhi?" Qiao Ning couldn't help but ask worriedly.
At the mention of Pei Zhi, Li Chengyan didn't have a good impression of him, so he snorted and said, "No need. He can solve his own problems. There's no need for us to worry about him."
"Then I have to tell my mother and meet her!" Qiao Ning thought of his mother and was a little worried.
Li Chengyan couldn't refuse her request. He thought about it and said, "Let's take a detour to your mother's place and take her with us! Since Pei Zhi is in C City, it's not good for your mother to continue staying here. "
Qiao Ning was thinking the same thing. If her mother and Mrs. Pei met one day, it would be like a bolt from the blue!
Thus, she immediately asked Chen Heng to turn the car in the direction of Chen Meng's house. She wanted to go and take a look.
When they arrived, Qiao Ning asked Li Chengyan to wait in the car. Qiao Li fell asleep in Li Chengyan's arms. Li Chengyan didn't want to move, so she got out of the car by herself.
However, Li Chengyan was also worried and asked a bodyguard to follow her.
He thought that Qiao Ning would chat with Chen Meng for a while and then pack up.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Ning ran down and said to Li Chengyan anxiously, "Oh no, my mother is missing."
Li Chengyan frowned.
Qiao Ning said anxiously, "Did the Pei family take her away? Does Mrs. Pei already know that she is here?"
Li Chengyan said hurriedly, "Don't worry. We just left the Pei family's place. They won't be here so soon. Maybe she went out to buy groceries. Let's wait at home. Did you call her? Let's see if we can get through. "
Qiao Ning was so anxious that he was about to cry. He choked out, "I tried, but no one picked up. Also, the house seems to have been empty for a couple of days. Her things are missing too. Her clothes are all gone. "
"Are the things in the room messy or clean?" Li Chengyan asked again.
Qiao Ning thought about it. "It's very clean. It's just that her clothes and some personal belongings are missing."
"Then she shouldn't have been taken away by the Pei family. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so clean. She left on her own. Perhaps … she left right after we left that day. Perhaps she was afraid that the Pei family would come looking for her. "Li Chengyan analyzed.
Qiao Ning heard his analysis and felt that it made sense. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. At the very least, his mother wasn't found or taken away by the Pei family.
However, he quickly said worriedly, "She left without saying a word. Who knows where she went. Where should we go to find her? Are we just going to let her wander around outside like this? "
At his age, Qiao Ning was still very worried about his mother's safety.
