CEO's Substitute Bride

"I beg you, are you able to do it right?... Yichen, I beg of you … Bring my child back to me, will you … "I beg of you …"    

    

Zhang Wen knelt in front of Pei Yichen and sobbed silently. She looked as if she was about to collapse. All the pressure she had endured over the years had finally destroyed this woman at this moment.    

    

"Aunt, I …"    

    

"Don't reject me, Pei Yichen. If you don't help me, I might really die. I beg you, help me, help me okay …"    

    

Zhang Wen was on the verge of tears. For her, this was the only wish she had.    

    

Pei Yichen pursed his lips and finally nodded. For him, this was a difficult task, but it wasn't impossible, "Aunt, you get up first. I promise you, I will definitely do it."    

    

If possible, she wanted to personally bring her child home, but she didn't have the ability. All these years, she had been acting as a good wife, and the role of a good mother didn't have the ability to do anything else.    

    

Even now, there was nothing she could do but grieve.    

    

She blamed herself, she despaired, she felt guilty, she didn't even feel angry. All these years, she had ruined herself on a man called Pei Jianye …    

    

After Zhang Wen's mood gradually stabilized, she was transferred to the hospital accompanied by Pei Sizhu, while Pei Yuanfan followed Pei Shijie to look after the hospital.    

    

In the entire Pei Family Villa, the servants had already arranged for them to leave in advance, and the trusted people under them had all done what they needed to do. It was empty, only Pei Yichen was left.    

    

In the past, he had faced such a night, such loneliness, he didn't care at all. But today, he inexplicably felt that his heart was somewhat sad.    

    

The things that he had been bitterly pursuing seemed to have become completely unimportant. He kept asking himself if he was right or wrong, but there was no standard answer.    

    

The lights were turned off one by one, and the huge manor sank into darkness. Unknowingly, he had walked into the courtyard and blended in with the darkness.    

    

In this world, people always seemed especially insignificant.    

    

Pei Yichen looked at everything in the dark and his heart turned cold little by little.    

    

He had long since gotten used to the darkness and the cold. But now, he had returned to the familiar scene, so why was it so uncomfortable?    

    

Suddenly, in the midst of all this darkness, a window suddenly lit up. In this starless and moonless night, it seemed especially warm.    

    

Pei Yichen looked up at the window and smiled.    

    

No, he was not alone!    

    

Five years ago, there was a summer, and five years later, there was Ning Xia. He was lucky to have someone by his side.    

    

Pei Yichen took a deep breath and walked upstairs.    

    

After taking a bath, Ning Xia quietly sat on the bed in her pajamas. Her calm face was like a wife who had been waiting for her husband's return countless of times. It only took a moment to warm Pei Yichen's heart.    

    

Seeing him open the door, Ning Xia looked over and smiled sweetly at his inky eyes, "You're back. Are you hungry? Why don't you take a bath first and I'll make you a bowl of noodles? "    

    

When she felt that the entire manor had fallen into darkness, she thought that Pei Yichen might be in a bad mood, so she quickly turned on the lights to tell him that she was always there.    

    

Even if the entire world were in darkness, she would still be the light that illuminated him.    

    

Pei Yichen saw her smile and instantly felt that all the haze was no longer important. As long as this little girl was by his side, the air seemed to have become sweet.    

    

"Alright, add an egg."    

    

Pei Yichen replied with a smile. He really missed Ning Xia's cooking skills, even though the chili powder from before looked rather dark.    

    

Ning Xia smiled and nodded. She got off the bed and dragged the shoes, preparing to go cook.    

    

As he passed by the door, Pei Yichen waved his hand and hugged him. "Let me hug you."    

    

Pei Yichen's low and hoarse voice made Ning Xia's heart ache. Since when had this man been so low and deep? She had always thought that he would always be in high spirits, but now, she realized that he was also weak.    

    

Ning Xia hugged him. She buried her head in his chest and breathed in his unique scent. Her heart became calmer and calmer. No matter what happened, as long as they were by his side, they would be able to resist.    

    

"Don't worry, I've been here all along."    

    

Ning Xia raised her head and looked at Pei Yichen's chin. She discovered that green stubble had appeared on his head. Thinking about it, he must have been very busy these days. It's just that she, who had always been engrossed with her own things, and had never discovered it …    

    

"Promise me you'll always be here, never leave me."    

    

Pei Yichen lowered his voice and made the request. He wanted to ask for candy as domineering and unreasonable as a kid.    

    

However, Ning Xia smiled and nodded, obviously enjoying it. "Alright, I'll never leave you."    

    

Ning Xia smiled as she left a kiss on the corner of his mouth. Her face reddened as she took advantage of the moment when he was distracted to quickly break free of his confinement and run outside, "Hurry up and wash. I'll cook quickly!"    

    

Pei Yichen laughed involuntarily. He stretched out his finger and touched the spot where she kissed him. Feeling the warmth left behind, the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.    

    

Ning Xia, thank you for your life, thank you for your company. For the rest of your life, please give me your guidance.    

    

When Pei Yichen came downstairs refreshed, Ning Xia was already preparing the noodles. When she saw Pei Yichen coming over, she couldn't help but tease him: "Aiya, it's better to hurry than to rush here. We can eat while it's still hot!"    

    

"It smells so good. What noodles did you cook?"    

    

Pei Yichen embraced her from behind, put his head on her shoulder, and moved with her.    

    

Ning Xia pouted. She really didn't expect this guy to have such a sticky side.    

    

"Stir-fried noodles, tomato and egg halogen. It will definitely be delicious."    

    

Ning Xia poured the noodles into two big bowls, then poured the sauce of tomato and egg over the noodles and sprinkled it with spring onion. She looked especially appetizing, "A young master like you must have never eaten such a thing before. Quickly hug your thighs, I'll let you experience the life of a commoner from now on."    

    

Ning Xia was inwardly elated. She wouldn't say that the noodles she cooked had a very gritty name called 'Cake Noodle Soup'!    

    

Pei Yichen couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and stir a bowl before eating it, "En, it's delicious!"
