Chapter 1141: Falling Water
There was a separate small restaurant on the VIP floor, which only served the patients and their families.

Pei Ziheng cleared the area, leaving only two of them in the elegant space. They ordered their meals and ate slowly. What he ordered for Xia Ling was a bowl of fragrant white porridge, a few dishes of nutritious side dishes, a glass of milk, a few slices of jam-covered bread and fruit. Xia Ling had no appetite and ate very little. Pei Ziheng persuaded her in a gentle voice. “For the child in your stomach, try to eat as much as you can.”

Xia Ling was silent and took the spoon that had been put down.

Since she had decided to give birth to this child, she shouldn’t be harsh on it. What if it was born unhealthy? She ate the food seriously as if to replenish the nutrients from the previous period.

Pei Ziheng saw that she was being obedient today, and started talking about the same topic. “I said that I would take you out to play. You rest well for this period of time, then we will go to Xi Cui Lake during the Spring Festival.” Yesterday, he had made Chu Chen cancel the trip of Xi Cui Lake in a fit of anger, but such a big thing had happened at night and steered him back to his original intentions.

Since Xiao Ling had figured it out, then of course he had to reward her.

Moreover, the old man Pei Zhenyuan was managing too much, did he really think he could pretend nothing happened?

Xia Ling looked at him doubtfully, her beautiful eyes seemingly misty in confusion. “Spring Festival? Are you not going back to the Pei family during the Spring Festival?” The Pei family had an unwritten rule—the whole family had to celebrate the Spring Festival every year. In the past, Xia Ling was the “head lady” and had also attended several times with Pei Ziheng. Later, because she was not on good terms with the Pei family who posed themselves as grandeur and orthodox, she threw a tantrum and stopped going.

However, although she could not attend, Pei Ziheng must attend every year as the patriarch.

So many years later, the two of them spent the Spring Festival separately. He would return to the Pei family for the New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year, then return to her on the second day and accompany her.

Thinking of this, Xia Ling felt a bit bleak. It turned out that her weight in his heart was always inferior to that of the Pei family. Unfortunately, she had been blinded by love then and had been so considerate of him until she discovered the cruel truth. Her eyes drooped slightly, covering the trace of sadness in her eyes.

Pei Ziheng said, “I’ll spend it with you this year.”

He did not explain the reason, and Xia Ling did not ask anymore. She thought maybe it was for the child’s sake.

She also spent some time in the hospital, and soon, the Spring Festival arrived. Pei Ziheng really brought her and the mighty medical team to Xi Cui Lake. He booked the entire lake and the surrounding resorts.

Xi Cui Lake had beautiful scenery, and it was tranquil and secluded.

Pei Ziheng gave a red packet to each staff member and told them to take care of Xia Ling. The people who received the red packets all smiled and were diligent in serving the two of them. Xia Ling’s mood gradually improved because of their smiles.

The lake was a changeable jade color. The whole lake was like a jade mirror in a fairyland, reflecting the light and shadow. After the snow fell, you could see that half of the lake was covered with a thin layer of ice. It was crystal clear in the sun, and below it, you could see the colorful fishes. The other half of the lake sparkled with a little bit of gold and was breathtakingly beautiful.
