Become the Biological Mother of a Three-Year-Old Villain Cub (MTL)

Chapter 29: Snatching the Child

Like a kitten whose tail has been stepped on, it suddenly hid behind its mother.

Before Xue Huiyu entered the ward, she had learned from Zhou Qihua that Pei Wenyu's eyes had not yet adapted to the light, so she needed to wear sunglasses to block out the light for the time being.

After entering the ward, Xue Huiyu had been observing Pei Wenyu silently. Even though he was wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face, one could still see that his face was sickly pale, and his voice was also distant, with a distinct hoarseness and weakness.

Haha...even the thank you was lukewarm.

Now, because of the sunglasses, Xue Huiyu couldn't see through his expression. She could only regret that her contracted husband really couldn't recognize her voice!

But Xue Huiyu had to admit that even though he lay in bed like a dead man last night, and even though his chin was now thin and covered with haggard stubble, this man was still handsome to the core when he put on sunglasses.

"Secretary Zhou has already given me a card before Mr. Pei woke up. I no longer need any material rewards. It's just... I have an unwelcome request. I feel a sense of familiarity with Yuqi from the moment I met him. I hope you can let me continue to take care of Yuqi."

Xue Huiyu didn't know what was wrong with Pei Wenyu that made her want to replace her, but fortunately Pei Yuqi kept crying and making a scene, giving her the opportunity to meet him.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhou, I temporarily agreed to let you take care of me while I was unconscious, but it was not my will," Pei Wenyu said firmly, "I will find someone I know to take care of Yuqi, and then I will look for a new nanny."

"Mr. Pei can find a new nanny to take care of Yuqi's daily life, but I can make Yuqi speak and teach him to read. I am different from the nannies and tutors you have found before. Instead of rushing to find a new nanny, why don't you consider me, who can already make Yuqi speak? I can be Yuqi's tutor and I am confident that I can make Yuqi a healthy child."

Xue Huiyu recommended herself and spoke a lot of big words. She knew that if Pei Yuqi was really good to Yuqi, she would definitely not be able to refuse such an attractive condition that her child could be a healthy one.

Sure enough, he trembled slightly and his tone wavered: "Yuqi, can you really speak?"

"Yes, Mr. Pei."

As soon as Pei Yuqi entered the ward and saw Pei Wenyu, he shrank behind him timidly, not daring to look his father in the eye, let alone take the initiative to greet his father. Xue Huiyu got straight to the point and gently carried him to the bed, but saw that Pei Wenyu was really cold to her son and didn't even look at him.

Xue Huiyu clenched her fists, turned to Pei Yuqi, who was nervously tugging at the corner of his clothes and almost picking his fingers, and gently coaxed him: "Yuqi, we have learned to speak, right? Say hello to daddy..."

"Uh, um... " Under the encouraging gaze of his mother, Pei Yuqi, who was burdened with a heavy responsibility, tried hard to make himself feel present. However, he had just practiced secretly for too long and also pretended to cry for a while, so his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't utter a complete syllable.

"Bua..."

The more he wanted to make a sound, the more anxious he became, the more panicked he became and the less confident he became. Suddenly, it was as if he had lost his voice and could not make any sound. In the end, all he could hear was a series of coughs.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Pei son-in-law!"

Just as Pei Yuqi was coughing nervously, a loud voice came from the door. Xue Huiyu, who was patting Pei Yuqi's back to comfort him silently, saw him hide behind his mother like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.
