Qiao Li's fever subsided after a day in the hospital, but the doctor said it was a viral cold. It would be best to hang the water for three days before taking the medicine slowly.

Therefore, Qiao Ning and Li Chengyan's original plan to leave could only be put on hold, and chen heng's investigation of Chen Meng had a place. Sure enough, chen meng left by car. As for where she went, there was no news yet.

"My mother is so serious. Even if she wants to leave, she should tell me. She left without saying a word and didn't even say hello to me." Qiao Ning complained.

Li Chengyan didn't say anything, but he could guess what Chen Meng was thinking.

I'm afraid Chen Meng was also selfish, afraid of being found by the Pei Family, so he left quietly. As for Qiao Ning, she probably didn't think about her at all, or she felt that she could protect her safety, so she didn't have to think about it.

But he felt that the former was more likely, so he didn't say it out, saving Qiao Ning from being sad.

But there was no news from Chen Meng, and Pei Zhi came to her again.

Qiao Ning looked at Pei Zhi and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Pei Zhi glanced at the bed. Qiao Li was asleep after taking the medicine. He walked over and touched Qiao Li's little face. He said unhappily, "You've only lost weight in two days. You're too bad at taking care of children."

Qiao Ning twitched his lips, thinking that they were the real parents of the child! It was as if they had raised the child.

But it was hard to say anything when she thought that Qiao Li would get sick with them.

However, her silence did not mean that Li Chengyan did not care. She immediately walked over to knock Pei Zhi away and said coldly, "You don't have to worry about my son. I would like to ask you what we did to him before we went to pick him up and why he got sick as soon as we came out."

Li Chengyan and Pei Zhi didn't like each other, so Pei Zhi ignored him and looked at Qiao Ning and said, "I need to talk to you. Let's talk."

"No." Li Chengyan immediately refused.

Pei Zhi said coldly, "I'm talking to her, not you."

Li Chengyan said, "She's my wife. Her business is my business."

"Hmph, she's still my sister. Do I have to ask your permission if I need her?" Pei Zhi refused to give in.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Qiao Ning quickly reconciled them and said, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. Let's talk about it. Why are you arguing?"

"I have something to tell you, but I have nothing to say to him." Pei Zhi said coldly.

Li Chengyan said, "Don't tell him. You have nothing to say to him."

Qiao Ning: ..."

"You two are so old, how can you be like a child?" Qiao ning pouted and said speechlessly.

Pei Zhi and Li Chengyan glanced at each other and were even more annoyed with each other. They simply turned their heads and looked at each other.

Qiao ning sighed and walked over to Li Chengyan and whispered, "I'll talk to him and see what's going on. Don't worry, he's my brother. What else can he do to me?"

"But I'm afraid he's plotting against you," Li Chengyan said.

Qiao ning smiled and said, "You think too much about how he can plot against me."

Li Chengyan frowned and thought that Pei Zhi was a genius at first sight. It was not a minute before he tried to plot against you.

But seeing Qiao Ning so excited, she knew that she was still immersed in the joy of having a brother just now, so she couldn't bear to break her heart.

He had no choice but to nod, but he warned with a grim face, "Don't agree to anything he asks. We'll leave here as soon as Dudu gets better. We won't have anything to do with him in the future."

"Okay, I know." Qiao Ning nodded, but felt a little uncomfortable because his words would not have anything to do with it.

"Let's go out and talk!" Qiao Ning said to Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi nodded. He didn't want to stay in the ward or see Li Chengyan.

And Li Chengyan must not know about this, otherwise he would definitely stand up against it.

Qiao Ning found a more secluded place with a seat. After sitting down, he asked Pei Zhi, "Do you want something to drink? I'll buy it for you."

"No need." Pei Zhi said.

Qiao Ning pursed his lips and sat obediently.

Pei Zhi looked at her for a while and then said slowly, "I came to see you today for something."

When Qiao Ning heard that there was really something to ask her, Li Chengyan was right.

He said quietly, "What can you ask me for? You're Pei Zhi, from the Pei Family, and you can ask others for help."

"This really requires you. I hope you can continue to cooperate with me in the lie I told my mother." Pei Zhi said.

Qiao ning said, "Didn't you say you lied like that because you didn't want your mother to know who I was? Now that I'm out, she can't investigate me on purpose. Why do you continue acting?"

"Hmph, didn't Li Chengyan tell you?" Pei Zhi's thin lips rose slightly, with a hint of mockery.

Qiao Ning thought to himself that Li Chengyan had guessed right. He had other intentions.

But she didn't understand what it was good for him to continue acting.

"Can you tell me the reason? If you can tell me, I can think about it. If you can't, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't agree. You know that Li Chengyan is not happy that I have too much to do with you, and I don't want to disappoint him," Qiao Ning said.

Pei Zhi said slowly, "You really care about him."

Qiao Ning immediately said, "Of course, we are husband and wife. Of course, I care about him."

Pei Zhi's eyes flashed with a different emotion. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. You should care about him. Actually, I asked you to continue acting with me because I don't have any plans to get married for the time being. My mother came here not only to see the child, but also to force the marriage. I'm not young anymore. I should be getting married. My uncles have mentioned this to me a lot in the past two years. They chose a marriage partner for me. If I don't think of a way, I'm afraid I'll come over and get along with me. Although I wouldn't be forced to marry by them, that woman's coming is still a problem. I just don't want to cause too much trouble. If I let them know that I have someone I like and even a child, I won't continue to worry about it."

"So you want me to continue acting with you because you want me to be your shield?" Qiao Ning said in surprise.

Pei Zhi said, "It's okay if you want to understand it that way."

Qiao Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Then why don't you look for someone else? It's more suitable for you to look for someone else! If you find me, if it's exposed, your mother will know that I exist. Wouldn't it be more troublesome then?"

Pei Zhi curled his lips slightly and said, "How can other women have the status of your Li Group? Don't forget my surname is pei. Do you think the women they can accept will be ordinary girls? They have to be well-matched."
