The biological mother was recognized as a wealthy family, and the abstinent boss coaxed her every ni

"I don't know either." Pei Zhili curled his lips in self-mockery.

After all, she had always liked Lu Yuanze, and he knew it. Could a person's feelings change so easily and suddenly?

Su Cheng anxiously grabbed his wrist and said, "Pei Zhili, I'm serious. Can you believe me? I haven't contacted Lu Yuanze at all these days. You can check."

"...I understand." Pei Zhili gently pushed her hand away, "Let's eat first. We can talk about anything after you've recovered."

Su Cheng moved her lips, and seeing that he didn't want to discuss this with her, she could only give up for the time being.

What should she do? She has done so much, but still failed to impress him?

Could it be... could it be... that she really wanted to go a step further and find a way to... seduce him?

Su Cheng was flustered. This kind of thought was really inappropriate for a high school student who was not yet an adult.

She had always been a good girl, and what she did today was beyond the ordinary. To seduce him was simply a sin!

But what else can she do?

At this time, Jiang Tingxia came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot noodles and called out, "The egg noodles are ready, come over quickly."

Su Cheng came to his senses and followed Pei Zhili to the restaurant.

"This egg is fried beautifully, so this bowl is yours." Jiang Tingxia placed the bowl of egg noodles in front of Su Cheng.

"Thank you auntie."

Looking at the beautifully fried eggs in the bowl, which was not as good-looking as Pei Zhili's, Su Cheng felt warm in his heart.

Growing up, her parents always gave good things to her younger brother first, never considering her first. If there was only one good thing, it would definitely go to her younger brother, leaving her no chance.

She was only one year older than her brother and was a girl, but she lost the right to priority selection and the right to be favored.

She had never enjoyed the love and care from her elders, but the woman in front of her... actually, she looked very young, not much older than her, so it would be more appropriate to call her sister.

But she was Pei Zhili's stepmother, and strictly speaking, she was her elder. And this elder, who they had just met officially for the first time today, gave priority to her.

Su Cheng's eyes felt a little sore, and he lowered his head and took a mouthful of noodles.

Unexpectedly delicious.

She couldn't help but say, "It's delicious."

Jiang Tingxia smiled, "Really? That's good. Eat slowly. If it's not enough, there's more."

"Okay." Su Cheng buried her head in eating. The taste was really good, beyond her imagination.

Pei Zhili also enjoyed the meal. Although he had eaten all kinds of delicacies, he just felt that they were not as good as the bowl of egg noodles made by his mother, which was simple as could be.

Just as I was feeling touched, I suddenly received a slap on the head. Jiang Tingxia's fierce voice rang out above my head, "Xiao Li, please charge your phone in time when it runs out of battery. Do you know how worried your father and I will be if we can't find you? Don't lose contact again!"

Although his tone was fierce, it showed concern.

Pei Zhili felt pain, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he said honestly, "I know. There will definitely not be a next time."

"That's more like it." Jiang Tingxia combed his hair with her fingers. Her movements were kind and natural, just what a mother would do to her child.

Su Cheng looked at the two of them in surprise, still unable to understand why Jiang Tingxia could get along so well with Pei Zhili.

Who is Pei Zhili? He is a troublemaker known throughout the school. He never obeys discipline and he is the only one who can teach others a lesson.

But now, in front of this stepmother, he was as obedient and docile as a tamed puppy. It was simply unbelievable!

However, because of this stepmother, Su Cheng also saw a different Pei Zhili, and felt that he was not that scary or annoying...

After the two children finished their noodles, Jiang Tingxia smiled at Su Cheng and said, "Okay, we'll go back first. You have a good rest. Call us if you have anything."

Su Cheng nodded, "Okay."

Watching them leave, Su Cheng pursed his lips.

Suddenly I thought... How nice it would be if I also had a mother like Jiang Tingxia.

If I marry Pei Zhili in the future, will this wish come true?

Thinking about it this way, the idea suddenly became stronger.

Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.

When Su Cheng saw the three words "Brother Yuanze" jumping on the screen, his heart skipped a beat.

Then, he picked up the phone.

...

On the way back, Jiang Tingxia reached out and pinched Pei Zhili's face, raised an eyebrow, "Can you tell me now what happened? Why was she injured?"

Pei Zhili was suddenly embarrassed and silent for a few seconds before saying, "She suddenly confessed to me, and I didn't agree. She rushed over to kiss me, and I subconsciously pushed her... I didn't use much force at the time, so how did she fall so badly?"

As he spoke, he held his forehead with his hand, looking very worried.

Jiang Tingxia was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "Don't you like her? She confessed to you and even kissed you, and you're not happy? You should be very happy."

Pei Yanzhou, who was driving in front, snorted.

Only Jiang Tingxia could make this brat behave himself, telling him even such a private matter. If he were the one asking, he knew without hesitation that the brat wouldn't tell him a single word.

In this regard, he benefited from Jiang Tingxia and continued to listen to gossip with his ears perked up.

After all, it is his son's love life, and he is very interested.

Pei Zhili muttered, "I should be happy, but I don't know why, I just can't be happy... She obviously likes someone else, how could it be me? I suspect she's lying to me."

Jiang Tingxia laughed again. "Not bad, you didn't blindly trust others. I have to praise you again. You just said that you didn't push her hard, right? Are you sure?"

Pei Zhili nodded seriously. "I'm sure I didn't use much force, but I don't know why she fell. I was a little confused at the time. I was so busy sending her to the hospital that I completely forgot to report it to you."

Jiang Tingxia thought for a few seconds. If he said so, Su Cheng's behavior was very suspicious.

She suddenly had an idea: could it be that Su Cheng fell on purpose to make Xiaoli feel guilty and care about her more?

If he hadn't rushed to the hospital because Xiaoli lost contact, maybe they would have spent the night together.

It is really unreliable for adolescent boys and girls to stay in the same room.

Jiang Tingxia reached out and touched his head. "Follow your heart. If you find that you don't like her that much, then reject her. Also, don't be alone with her late at night. I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself and make a mistake. If that happens, I will be angry and it would be bad to beat you up."

"Mom..." Pei Zhili's face turned red.

Is he such a casual person?

Even when he really wanted to monopolize Su Cheng and prevent her from interacting with Lu Yuanze, he never thought of having a relationship with her.

Jiang Tingxia's expression was serious. "I'm serious. Since you don't love her and can't take responsibility for her, don't take advantage of her. Do you hear me?!"
