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

If he looked down on someone, he would not have praised him earlier. He would have been more cheerful if he had given him some sunshine. If what he said was not true, he would have wanted to beat him up.

Jiang Tingxia smiled secretly. This grown-up son of hers was quite good at praising others. It made her feel like she had returned to her childhood. The little boy would always nestle in her arms and praise her in various ways, saying, "Mom is so beautiful, Mom is the best, I love Mom the most..."

Besides, she likes to watch the father and son bickering. It is much better to enhance their relationship through such bumps and bruises than to become strangers, isn't it?

Jiang Tingxia reached out and pinched Pei Zhili's face. "Your dad is not bad either, otherwise why would I like him?"

Pei Zhili subconsciously moved his face closer to her, letting her pinch it, and then continued to precisely attack Pei Yanzhou, "It's very ordinary. It's a blessing for him to be favored by you."

Pei Yanzhou was too lazy to argue with this little bastard. "Yes, you are right. I agree."

After a while, the strawberry cake came out of the oven.

Jiang Tingxia gestured to Pei Zhili to take one, "Xiaoli, how about trying your father's cooking and competing with me?"

Pei Zhili said as a matter of course: "Needless to say? Of course he is far behind. Even if he studies for another ten years, he still won't be able to reach your level."

“…” Pei Yanzhou’s expression was indescribable.

Can he get back the 500,000 yuan he gave to this brat?

Jiang Tingxia laughed so hard that she fell over. Why didn't she realize before that Xiaoli was so hypocritical, praising her without thinking and criticizing his father without thinking.

But, he was so cute like this that she wanted to pinch his proud face again.

To be honest, high school boys’ faces are really easy to rub!

It is better to act than to think. Jiang Tingxia simply used both hands to hold Pei Zhili's face and knead it again and again like kneading dough.

Pei Zhili obediently did not resist. After his face was randomly pinched, he looked at her resentfully, "...Have you had enough?"

"Of course it's not enough. Oh, why is our Xiaoli so handsome? He's so handsome." Jiang Tingxia looked at the young man in front of him who was a head taller than him, and praised him without hesitation. The emotional value is mutual.

"..."

Pei Zhili's ears felt hot, and his face turned red. Fortunately, he could think of it as her pinching him, not him being embarrassed.

Pei Yanzhou was a little jealous, "What's so handsome about him? He can't compare to when I was young."

She likes to have her face pinched? Then tonight, he can let her pinch as much as she wants.

Pei Zhili glanced at him coldly, "Haha."

Jiang Tingxia acted as a peacemaker at the right time. "Okay, okay, you two are both very handsome, and you both meet my aesthetic standards. It would be even better if you could get along well."

Pei Yanzhou snorted, picked up a small piece of cake and handed it to Jiang Tingxia, "Wife, try it?"

The tone was completely different from before, so gentle that it made people's teeth ache.

Jiang Tingxia lowered her head and took a bite, then her eyes lit up, "It's delicious, it's simply professional quality."

"Really? This is the greatest affirmation of me." Pei Yanzhou became happy again and looked at Pei Zhili provocatively.

Pei Zhili snorted coldly, "It's just a cake, anyone can make it."

Then he said to Jiang Tingxia, "Mom, I'll make it for you some other day."

Jiang Tingxia narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it. But first, please give me some face and try your father's cooking. It's really delicious."

She took the cake from Pei Yanzhou and handed it to Pei Zhili.

Pei Zhili felt a little awkward, but he still lowered his head and took a bite. Then, he reluctantly gave a comment, "It's okay."

Pei Yanzhou really wanted to kick him and tell him to get out.

This brat never said a single nice word and told his mother everything.

Too lazy to pay attention to him, Pei Yanzhou picked up a few other small cakes and gave them to Jiang Qixing and Jiang Suisui.

Seeing him go upstairs, Pei Zhili took another bite of the cake, and his expression gradually returned to seriousness, "Mom, Su Cheng's adoption procedures are complete."

"Really? That's good. Our legal team is very efficient."

I heard that Su Cheng's parents, unwilling to lose such a useful tool and cash cow, went to the Pei Group to cause a scene and were now sent to the police station. Even if it was only a few days of detention, it would be a lesson.

Those two are unfit to be parents and should be dealt with severely. One can imagine how miserable their lives will be after Su Cheng cuts off ties with them. Now they are almost reduced to living under an overpass.

Regardless, they deserve it.

Jiang Tingxia patted Pei Zhili's shoulder and smiled lightly, "Now it's good. She has parents who love her and the opportunity to study abroad. You don't have to worry about her anymore. But if she leaves, will you feel empty or uncomfortable?"

Pei Zhili pursed his lips, his dark eyes looking into hers, "No."

"Huh?" Jiang Tingxia was a little surprised.

"With you here, my heart will never be empty."

He spoke very seriously, and then looked away embarrassedly.

Jiang Tingxia was stunned for a few seconds, and then her nose suddenly felt a little sour. Was she so important to him?

She couldn't help but reach out and hug Pei Zhili. Pei Zhili also raised one hand, carefully hugged her, and leaned his head on her shoulder lovingly, "As long as you don't leave, everything will be fine."

In fact, like Pei Yanzhou, he would think from time to time, if his mother came back from a parallel universe, would there be a day when she would return to another world and disappear from his world again?

Every time I think about it, I feel an unprecedented panic and tension in my heart, and also... fear.

All his nerves were stretched to a thread, ready to break at the slightest strain. Only when he saw her did he relax.

Jiang Tingxia pressed the back of his head with one hand and kissed the end of his hair. "Okay, I won't leave. If the parallel world you mentioned really exists, I will come back no matter how hard I try. No matter if it's ten or twenty years later, I will definitely come back to you."

"If you really disappear again..." Pei Zhili hugged her tightly, his throat rolling up and down, "Then I will wait for you, ten years, twenty years, thirty years... Anyway, I will wait forever."

Jiang Tingxia's nose felt even more sore, and her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a hand. She also hugged him tightly, "Hmm..."

I hope such a scene will never happen.

Let her stay safely in this world and stay with them forever...

After delivering the cake, Pei Yanzhou went downstairs and was caught off guard by the sight of the mother and son hugging each other, and his brows furrowed.

what's the situation?

He walked into the kitchen and taunted, "You little bastard, I suggest you find a girlfriend and stop pestering my wife all day long."

Jiang Tingxia immediately rolled her eyes at him. "Go to hell! Xiaoli is determined to get into the top ten in the class. Don't let him get distracted. If he doesn't make the top ten, it will be your responsibility!"

Pei Yanzhou, “…”

His wife is in the upper position, so he shouldn't be nosy.
