Bamboo horse is inferior, luring wife into the trap

  In the end, Mayor Noh didn't roll over and Bae Yu certainly didn't let him serve her, so her personal hygiene issues were resolved with the help of a female caregiver.

  Bai Ming looked at Pei Yue who had just finished bathing and was lying on the bed pretending to sleep, ignoring him. He couldn't help but shake his head indulgently, then turned around to find his own clothes from the several large bags of items and went into the bathroom.

  Bai Dacheng, who had always thought himself to be all-powerful, stood under the showerhead in the bathroom, pondering how he should treat her so that their relationship could return to what it was like before.

  Waiting for him to finish his bath and come out, the woman who was pretending to sleep on the bed let out a soft and even breathing sound, apparently she had really fallen asleep.

  Bai Ming leaned in to take a closer look, his palm involuntarily falling onto her face, his fingertips gently tracing the dense eyebrows and delicate nose, finally landing on the soft lips.

  The soft and slightly cool sensation had him enthralled, his fingertips gently rubbing against it. Pei Yue, who was half asleep, furrowed her brow and mumbled vaguely, "Bastard..." Perhaps feeling an itch on her lips, she stuck out the tip of her tongue, which was as flexible and wet as a snake's, and licked it once.

  The moment the tip of his tongue touched her fingertips, Bai Ming's lower abdomen suddenly felt a surge of heat.

  Damn! This reaction is too intense!

  Bai Ming, who was confident in his self-control, reluctantly withdrew his hand. He had originally wanted to steal a goodnight kiss, but under the current circumstances, if he were to steal that kiss now, he probably wouldn't have the will or ability to brake afterwards.

  The next day, Pei Yue opened her eyes to find that detestable man sitting on the sofa, with his laptop on his knees. Judging from his focused expression, he was definitely working.

  Is this man's brain only filled with work?

  Pei Yue would never admit it, but the sight of the man working with his eyes cast downward, his brow furrowed in concentration, made her heart skip a beat.

  Pei Yue closed her eyes again, trying to block out the man's face from her mind. Only then did she realize that she had slept on her stomach for a whole night, and her neck was numb and sore, almost twisted.

  She struggled to sit up, perhaps the movement was a bit loud, Bai Ming raised his head and asked softly: "Awake?" He put down his laptop and walked over to help her sit up.

  "Mayor Bai, I'm fine now, you can go back to work. I'll call Secretary Wang and ask him to help me take a leave."

  Pei Yue has already made plans and will let Sang Xiao Tian come pick her up from the hospital, she can go to her house to rest this week.

  Bai Ming took Pei Yue's words as a child's tantrum, and didn't pay much attention to her, keeping a straight face. He watched her finish breakfast, then called the nurse to have someone come check on Pei Yue.

  The expert sent by the dean examined Pei Yue's injury and confirmed that as long as he came back every day to change his dressing and receive an IV drip, there was no major problem with being discharged from the hospital.

  After listening to the expert's opinion, Bai Ming didn't insist on letting her stay in the hospital anymore. However, he didn't listen to Pei Yue's words and go back to work, nor did he give her any opportunity to let someone come pick her up. He just made a phone call to Secretary Wang and instructed him for a few sentences, and also helped Pei Yue ask for sick leave.

  The discharge procedures and so on, of course, don't need to be done in person. Bai Ming just waited for Pei Yue to change her clothes with the help of a nurse, then supported her waist and left the ward.

  "Don't hug me, my shoulder hurts!"

  The warmth of Bai Ming's hand penetrated through her clothes to her skin, hot and scorching, this ambiguous intimacy made Pei Yue feel inexplicably awkward.

  Bai Ming reluctantly let her go, although the clothes he had someone bring over fit her perfectly and completely concealed the wound on her shoulder, but she was indeed injured.

  The intensive care unit was at the far end of the corridor, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder, passing by different examination rooms along the way.

  "Xiao Yue, are you sick?"

  A familiar voice simultaneously entered the ears of two people. Pei Yue raised her head and took a look, and found that it was Zhao Wentao standing opposite her.

  Pei Yue's head was big, and her brain quickly turned around, thinking about what kind of suitable reason to use to get past this. Standing beside her, Bai Ming glanced at Zhao Wentao and replied calmly.

  "She's not sick! She just came for a routine prenatal checkup!"

  After finishing speaking, his big hand was placed on Pei Yue's slender waist again, and his eyes scanned over Pei Yue's flat lower abdomen with an unmistakable gaze.

  The expression on Bai Ming's face was so serious that it was impossible to doubt, and just behind the two of them, coincidentally, was the obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

  Zhao Wentao's eyes widened in incredulity, a chill ran up from the soles of his feet, and his gaze shifted with difficulty from the two faces to Pei Yue's abdomen. Then, he looked up at Pei Yue, hoping to hear her deny it.

  Pei Yue was in a dilemma, to admit it would be to acknowledge that Zhao Wentao had the opportunity, but if she denied it, her mother would probably be furious.

  The culprit who set the fire but remained calm as usual, gritted his teeth in anger, forgot that he was a wounded soldier, raised his elbow and violently collided with the man's chest. This time, whether it hurt Bai Ming or not is unknown, but she herself, due to using too much force, pulled her injured shoulder, and the pain brought tears streaming down her face.

  Bai Yue bit her lip and endured the pain, taking a while to catch her breath.

  "Don't listen to his nonsense. I've got a cold and can't take it anymore, so I came to get some medicine and an injection." After weighing her options, she still chose to be a filial daughter.

  Zhao Wentao looked at the two of them with a mixture of doubt and suspicion, saw Pei Yue's eyes were red and her eyes had tears in them, indeed looking like she was suffering from a cold, so he nodded and said with concern.

  "You take good rest and don't get tired."

  Between Pei Yue and Bai Ming, Zhao Wentao chose to believe Pei Yue and deliberately ignored the fact that she was ill and Bai Ming would accompany her to the hospital.

  Bai Ming quietly listened to the two people's uninformative Q&A-style conversation, and didn't say anything surprising. In the information Bai Ming had, it seemed that in all these years, no man had ever made Pei Yue look at him with different eyes. It was just that these annoying flies buzzing around her were best completely eradicated!

  A man's heart is a glass heart, and what I just said is enough to shatter N cracks in this man's heart!

  Zhaowentao's reaction made Baiming very satisfied, and he nodded slightly to Zhaowentao as a farewell before leaving with Pei Yue.

  Bai Ming's luxurious private car was parked right at the hospital entrance, and Bai Ming helped Pei Yue get into the back seat.

  "Third Master, where are you going?"

  "Go back home."

  Pei Yue hadn't even had time to settle the account with Bai Ming for his earlier nonsense when he heard Bai Ming instruct the driver to take him home, and he immediately blew up again!

  "I don't want to go to your home!"

  "You can go back home too, I'll move over and take care of you."

  For Bai Ming, this strong man, it is rare to give people a choice of two. However, for this multiple-choice question, no matter whether Pei Yue chooses A or B, he will not lose out!

  "Then go home!"

  Pei Yue struggled for a while and finally chose A.

  Her mind was racing with a clever plan, Mayor Bai was very busy with work, he absolutely had no time to guard himself all day, she could take advantage of him going to work to sneak away quietly. But if she let him move into her small apartment, it would be difficult to get rid of him later!

  But she soon found out that her idea was too naive.

  More than twenty minutes later, she stood with Bai Ming in front of the most expensive apartment building in G City. The door opened and a woman in her forties stood at the entrance to greet them with great respect.

  "Third Master is well! Miss Pei is well!"

  As soon as Pei Yue saw this woman wearing an apron, he was stunned.

  "Pei Yue, you're a pig! How could I not have thought of it? Bai Ming, this young master who has been served since childhood, how could his family not have a nanny and bodyguard? As Pei Yue expected, Bai Ming sent her to his home and didn't stay for long. He just stood in the living room and instructed that maid named Fen Ni about a bunch of things. Finally, taking advantage of Pei Yue's carelessness, he hugged her and kissed her forehead, then patted her face."

  "Be good, rest well, if you need anything ask Xiao Fang to buy it for you, I'll be back tonight to have dinner with you."
