Quick Transmute: Chasing Wife 101 Times

Chapter 43 My Housekeeper ([-])
Pei Xiu often thought of what he heard that day.

Even though he was prepared, when he really heard "impossible" from her mouth, he was still deeply hurt.

That needle pierces the heart in one stroke.

But no blood came out.

His birthday is coming up.

In the past, the family would celebrate his birthday for him, although it was not Pei Xiu's real birthday, but the day when he was picked up by Uncle Pei.But compared to his original birthday, this is a day with more "birthday" meaning.

In the past, this day was also the time that Pei Xiu looked forward to the most every year.

The lady will prepare a gift for him.

This year was no exception. The family of four sat around the table at home to celebrate Pei Xiu's birthday, and then gave birthday presents one by one.This time Liu Man'er gave him a pen with his name lightly engraved on it.It happened to be a new one for him. In the past, Pei Xiu often ran outside, and there were many times when he needed to sign.

Pei Xiu accepted the gift with a gentle smile.

Turn off the lights and make a wish.

Every year, his birthday is not very lively, there are almost only four of them in his family, but for him, it is enough.

He blew out the candle.

Liu Man'er came closer and asked with a smile, "What wish did you make?"

Pei Xiu blinked and smiled: "Secret."

Liu Man'er followed and nodded seriously: "That's right, it won't work if you say it."

Pei Xiu: "Yes."

"Let's cut the cake."

After happily cutting the cake and sharing it, when the meal was almost finished, Pei Xiu finally said that he was leaving: "...they found me, and hoped that I could go back...the city of Hong Kong is far away, and there is no way to go back." There are many things to deal with, and I may not be able to contact you for a long time..."

The news was so sudden that the other three people on the table fell silent.

Uncle Pei frowned: "...Do you really plan to go back there?"

He believed that Pei Xiu's mind could make a sober decision, but was that family member who abandoned him really worth his return?

Pei Xiu nodded calmly, "Well, this is a decision I made after consideration."

"I still have to go back."

He told them that he did not make a decision hastily, but after careful consideration.

As for the more secrets behind the scenes, such as the critical illness of his biological father, the cruel heir battle, being pushed to the stage by the behind-the-scenes team, and a series of things that he had to contend with, Pei Xiu chose to hide it, or in other words, chose to hide it from Liu Man'er. .

After the meal, Uncle Pei had a private talk with him, and Pei Xiu told more truth.

When Uncle Pei heard this, he frowned and sighed: "You—eh..."

For so many years, he has really treated Pei Xiu as his own child. Since his original family can abandon him, it is definitely not a good place to go back.But under the current situation, he had to go back. Those people would do anything for their own benefit, and they wanted to kill everyone, for fear of robbing him of the inheritance.Pei Xiu was still afraid of hurting them, so he had no choice but to go back.

But this time going back, it's really bad luck.

"Now that you're gone, you don't know when you'll be back." Uncle Pei was still reluctant and worried.Once he goes back, he must cut off contact with them, otherwise, their safety will also be a problem.

"I will win." Pei Xiu said.

Uncle Pei lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said, "Okay, take care of yourself."

"If something really happens, you don't have to worry too much about us. You can handle it by yourself. Although we are old, we still have the ability to protect ourselves. I still have some contacts here, maybe you can use them..."

The two men were silent for a long time by the window sill again.

"When are you leaving?" Uncle Pei asked.

"soon……"

……

After Pei Xiu chatted with Uncle Pei, he went downstairs, but he didn't see Miss, so he went to the kitchen and asked Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, where is Miss?"

"It seems to be going back to the room. Eh...you suddenly said that you want to leave, she probably feels uncomfortable, it's too sudden." Aunt Liu sighed, she had a very happy birthday, but after this incident, she seemed to have nothing to say .

Pei Xiu pursed his lips and said briefly, "I'll go see her."

He turned and went upstairs, walked to the door of her room, knocked a few times, and Liu Man'er came out to open the door——

The two stood at the door and looked at each other.

Her eyes made him sad.

She hated him.Pei Xiu only felt that his throat was congested and it was difficult to speak.

He sighed softly.

"What's the matter, huh?" His voice was still as gentle and doting as usual, but a little hoarse.

"Brother Pei Xiu..."

"Call me Pei Xiu." He said suddenly.His tone was so resolute that it was hard to refute.

"...Pei Xiu."

She gently called out this slightly unfamiliar name, and looked at him: "Are you really leaving?"

"Ah."

Her eyebrows tightened for a while, her heart was confused, her eyes were also confused, and the parting came too suddenly.Even though I thought that one day they would be separated and live their own lives, I never thought that this day would come so quickly, so suddenly and without warning, they would be separated from each other, without giving you time to react and get used to it.

I knew earlier.

I knew earlier...

Then she might want to grow up a bit slower.

But the thing about growing up is that whether you are ready or not, it will come one day and push you forward.

Even though she was reluctant, even though she was sad, she still suppressed the sadness surging in her heart, raised a smile, and said with all her strength: "Just do what you want to do and take care of yourself. If you are not happy staying there If so, come back. Of course, if everything goes well, that would be the best."

"——I will miss you." She lowered her eyes, her eyes sore.

Pei Xiu looked at her, swallowed a sigh helplessly, bent down, put his right hand under her chin, raised her face lightly, and said softly, "It's not like I won't be back."

Liu Man'er looked into his dark pupils, and the halo shone into his eyes like stars.

But she forgot how to speak, and there were two villains fighting in her heart. It was obvious that he was finally free to pursue the life he wanted, and had a new choice. She should be happy for him.Instead, going around, because of himself, he had to come back again...

"What are you thinking?" Pei Xiu looked at her deeply.

Liu Man'er shook her head: "You will leave from now on, and you won't be able to contact me anymore..."

"Yes. I will worry about you every day, miss." Pei Xiu pinched her face and said with a light smile, "You have to take care of yourself too."

Liu Man'er: "Yes."

Pei Xiu knelt down a little more and put his left hand on her shoulder. His eyes were level with hers, and they were less than a punch away while breathing.

The surrounding time and air seem to have stopped flowing, the lights in the bedroom are still bright, their backs are facing each other, each other's faces are hidden in the dark shadow of the corridor, their vision is blurred, but they can clearly feel each other's breath, his body Refreshing and clean aroma, as well as the body temperature of ironing.

It seems to be constantly attracting her, approaching.

His eyes were dark and hot, and in the next second, he gently pressed the corner of her lips, like a kiss but not a kiss.

But it makes the heart beat hot.

"I hope that when I come back next time, Miss will really grow up."
