Chapter 353: I missed you, so I wanted to come pick you up

Military Region Hospital—

After finishing her work for the day, Pei Yan Ting locked her office door.

Only the people in their department had keys to open her office; outsiders couldn't get in.

Carrying her large belly, she left the office building. After going down from the second floor to the first-floor lobby, she walked very slowly and carefully.

Previously, a pregnant woman hadn't been careful and had slipped, resulting in a stillbirth!

So, for the safety of herself and her child, she was always cautious, determined not to make any amateur mistakes.

Just endure a little longer; in three more months, it would be her due date, and then she could rest at home and wait for the birth.

"Good evening, Doctor Pei."

"Mm."

"Doctor Pei, your husband is outside to pick you up."

"Oh? Thanks for the heads-up."

Several nurses coming for the shift change and doctors from other departments greeted her in unison, casually teasing her:

"Doctor Pei, teach us, how can you still be so inseparable after two years of marriage?"

"Yeah, yeah, Doctor Pei, just tell us, how do you make your husband so obedient to you?"

"Cough, cough, cough, don't crowd here. Is there no work left to do? Why aren't you heading back to your departments for the shift change?"

"Yes."

It turned out the Hospital Director had come to smooth things over, and the others scattered in a swarm.

"Thank you, Hospital Director. Nothing else, I'll be heading back first."

After seeing that the person who arrived was the Hospital Director, Pei Yan Ting felt a bit uneasy, because the other party was the biggest gossip of them all!!!

"Hey, Doctor Pei, don't run, watch your belly, watch your belly."

The Hospital Director wanted to gossip, but the main subject didn't give her the chance.

When Pei Yan Ting came out, she spotted her own man standing out from the crowd at a glance.

It was strange to say, but no matter what kind of environment her man was in, she could recognize him instantly.

Perhaps this was "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"; because of love, her gaze would involuntarily seek him out...

"Why did you come to pick me up today? Didn't I say I didn't need you to? I can go home by myself."

"I missed you, so I wanted to come pick you up."

Although Lu Xiu Bai was not good with words, men, after all, have self-taught sweet talk; seeing his beloved, seeing his own wife, he naturally spoke those romantic words.

"By the way, that cousin of yours, Pei Yao, has arrived on the Sea Island. She came this afternoon..."

Hearing the romantic words earlier, Pei Yan Ting was still wondering when her man's mouth had become so sweet again.

Just as she was feeling sweet inside, she heard her man say her cousin had arrived on the island, and she was surprised:

"Yaoyao is here? Where is she staying now?"

"Mm, Grandfather ordered the younger sister to take her to the Guesthouse to handle the check-in procedures. After dinner tonight, the younger sister even rode a bicycle to take her back to the Guesthouse.

Grandfather also had the younger sister find a tour guide; for the next few days, the guide will take your cousin around to play..."

Lu Xiu Bai explained while pushing the bicycle between them, letting his wife sit down first and hold tight to his waist, before he stepped on the pedals and rode steadily.

Listening, Pei Yan Ting's nervous mood relaxed; she had almost forgotten that her grandfather was also staying at home.

"Yaoyao is my younger sister; our relationship has been very good since we were small. She..."

Pei Yan Ting thought of her sister and felt some worry. She didn't know why the other party had suddenly come to the Sea Island. Was it a setback at work, or a problem in her relationship?

That's not right; it seems her sister isn't seeing anyone, so there shouldn't be a problem with her relationship. Could it be work-related?

Uh, better wait until she sees her sister to talk about it; for now, everything is just her guessing.

The couple talked about Grandfather and the sister; although they didn't specify, both could distinguish who the other was referring to.

Although it was already past seven in the evening, the sky was still tinged with a bit of yellow; the lingering charm of dusk hadn't completely dissipated. Night on the Sea Island came relatively slowly.

Many military wives were holding their children and coming to the square to chat, while others went to watch television to learn about current events.

Two elders were sitting in front of the television at Shen Man's house. She had just finished bathing and was combing her long hair. Beside her, her man was holding a dry towel to wipe away the water droplets.

To be honest, long hair, while beautiful, was troublesome.

Just one point: when sleeping at night, it would get pressed!

Now, sometimes when the children slept with her, her hair would occasionally be pressed by them or put into their mouths to chew.

Not to mention whether they minded or not, just think about the hygiene.

"One day when we go outside the Sea Island, I'll find a barbershop; I want to cut my hair."

"With such long hair, it would be a pity to cut it."

"Hair is also formed from essence and blood; growing such a soft and smooth head of long hair really takes quite a few years."

"That's fine. If you want to cut it, I'll accompany you."

Unlike the regret and pity of the grandfather and the master, Jiang Ye prioritized his wife's feelings.

As long as it was his wife, whether it was long hair, short hair, or a shaved head, he would love her.

Just as they were brainstorming whether or not to cut Shen Man's long hair, the sound of wheels rang out outside, followed by a full-voiced shout—

"Lian Lian, Mommy and Daddy are home!"

Lian Lian, who was dozing off in her great-grandfather's arms, heard her father's voice, and her sleepiness was instantly scared away.

"Daddy is bad!"

So, this was offending the little ancestor, waking the little ancestor up!

Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi were much calmer. At this time, they liked listening to the sounds from the television, so they were in high spirits, eyes wide open, focusing entirely on the movements on the screen, completely ignoring their uncle's voice.

Old Master Lu glanced outside, then turned his attention back to the television.

The television was playing news he was interested in; not only was he interested, but even the two little great-grandchildren were very interested.

One big and two small were staring straight at the screen; how could they be distracted to look at that funny person outside?

"Grandfather, I heard from Xiu Bai that Yaoyao is here."

Pei Yan Ting covered her forehead, helplessly walking into her sister's main room first and finding a seat.

"Mm, this little girl is here. As soon as she arrived, she chattered a bunch, but there's nothing else; she just saved up her annual leave to visit us.

I figured you all are working and have things to do, so I had Manman hire a tour guide to take Yaoyao around the Sea Island to eat, drink, and play for the next few days..."

Old Master Pei explained, dispelling his eldest granddaughter's concerns.

"That's good. I was wondering what happened to her, coming to the Sea Island to clear her mind."

Pei Yan Ting nodded; as long as it wasn't a big deal, it was fine.

"Sister-in-law, I remember I have a shift in two days. I can cover for you so you can accompany Sister Yaoyao. It wouldn't do for you sisters to finally be together and not be able to gather."

Shen Man flipped through the calendar; on the shift schedule, she had a shift in two days. Without any very important arrangements, she could cover the shift for her sister-in-law.

"Then, thank you, Manman."

Pei Yan Ting wasn't pretentious, and the two sisters-in-law quickly discussed the shift change, familiarizing themselves with the details in advance so they wouldn't be flustered later... ===== CHAPTER 354 =====
