Chapter 201
What does this mean?
It means Pei Zhengwei is not the eldest son of the Pei family; Lei Mingyuan is.
Shen Nanchu had already anticipated this outcome.
Although Mother Pei had a strong premonition in her heart, when the truth was finally revealed, she still felt somewhat distressed.
After all, she had raised Pei Zhengwei with her own hands.
However, what Mother Pei felt more was a sense of relief.
When she learned that Pei Zhengwei's intentions had turned sinister, plotting to harm the second son, she had already gone through that complex emotion of difficult choices.
"Elder Sister, what do you plan to do?"
Jiang Jie also hadn't expected things to be so dramatic.
The nephew she watched grow up turned out not to be her own flesh and blood.
Mother Pei had now regained her composure.
"This matter must be made known to your brother-in-law and the others."
"Alright, Elder Sister, I'll go with you to make the call."
Jiang Jie nodded.
Mother Pei looked at Shen Nanchu.
"Nanchu, will you be alright here by yourself?"
"It's fine, Mom. Please go ahead!"
Shen Nanchu thought for a moment, then added,
"Mom, you'd better call Zhengnian too and tell him about this."
Otherwise, Shen Nanchu feared Pei Zhengnian might be at a disadvantage.
Mother Pei nodded.
After Jiang Jie and Mother Pei left the hospital room,
Shen Nanchu was left staring wide-eyed at her own son lying in bed.
Looking at the soft, delicate little thing, Shen Nanchu couldn't help but gently touch his little cheek with her finger.
The little one seemed to feel the warmth of his mother's hand, moving slightly, his pair of big, black-grape-like eyes turning.
Shen Nanchu couldn't resist touching him again. The little one seemed a bit unhappy this time, waving his small hands and grabbing Shen Nanchu's finger.
A flicker of amusement flashed in Shen Nanchu's eyes.
She directly held the little one's hand and touched his soft, delicate little cheek again with her finger.
The next second,
"Waaah~~~"
An ear-splitting cry instantly filled the entire hospital room.
Shen Nanchu, the culprit of the mischief: "System, you hurry up and soothe him."
"This... I don't know how!" The System indicated it hadn't unlocked that skill yet.
"I don't know how either." Shen Nanchu indicated she didn't know either.
So what to do?
Shen Nanchu and the System spoke simultaneously,
"System, you soothe him."
"Host, you soothe him."
Whoever made him cry should soothe him.
In the end, it was Shen Nanchu who picked up the little one.
"Alright, alright, it was my fault."
"I won't poke your little face anymore."
Under Shen Nanchu's sincere apology, the little one slowly stopped crying.
His eyes were just watery, still holding tears, looking quite pitiful.
The System felt its heart melt completely.
"Host, Little Treasure isn't a toy. You can't play with his little face like that."
Shen Nanchu felt a bit embarrassed. "Well, I'll be more careful next time."
"No, if you want to play, play with the male lead's. Don't touch Little Treasure's."
The System firmly disagreed.
Shen Nanchu: "Fine!"
The little one seemed to sense something and actually opened his mouth, revealing his soft gums.
System: "Don't be afraid, Little Treasure. Your System will protect you."
Shen Nanchu: "..."
Not letting her touch his face, huh?
It's fine, she'll touch his little hand.
The fleshy-pink little paws were also very nice to stroke.
Shen Nanchu hadn't even started stroking for a minute before the little one's mouth puckered.
"Waaah~~~"
This time, without needing the System's reminder, Shen Nanchu immediately moved her hand away.
The next second, the baby's crying stopped.
Wow, interesting.
Shen Nanchu then patted the little guy's bottom.
Since it was through the clothes, the little one just waved his small hands and didn't cry.
But when Shen Nanchu stroked a few more times, the little one started whimpering again.
The System's prompt sounded again, "Host, stroking the baby's bottom is prohibited."
Shen Nanchu stopped stroking there but then reached over and touched his little feet through the cloth wrapping.
Wow, the little one directly started wailing.
The System began a sonic assault on Shen Nanchu.
"Host, be gentle."
"Host, you shouldn't do that."
"Host, this won't do."
...
Shen Nanchu finally saw it.
The baby she gave birth to had a problem.
He seemed able to sense the System's presence.
And was especially clever.
Whose child has eyeballs that dart around like a several-month-old's?
"System, what's his IQ?"
"185."
Shen Nanchu directly lay back on the bed.
Turning her head, she looked at the small swaddling bundle beside her.
She knew it, this kid was cunning.
Indeed,
He's her child!
Knowing how to exploit the System.
Poor System, completely unaware that it had already been turned into a super nanny by the little baby, was carefully looking after him.
When Mother Pei hurried back after making the phone calls, the big one and the little one on the bed were already asleep, sleeping very soundly.
Mother Pei breathed a sigh of relief.
...
At the military district hospital,
After hanging up the phone, Pei Zhengnian was filled with a myriad of emotions.
He never imagined that Pei Zhengwei wasn't his biological brother.
However, after learning this news, the heavy stone pressing on his heart lightened considerably.
But then, what was going on with the paternity test done at the hospital a few days ago?
Did Jiang Shuyi tamper with it?
Pei Zhengnian felt he needed to find time to verify his relationship with Pei Zhengwei again.
Only then could the stone in his heart truly be laid to rest.
"Regiment Commander, this is Sister-in-law's reply letter for you."
Xiong Lei arrived while Pei Zhengnian was taking Mother Pei's call.
Pei Zhengnian opened the letter and saw just four flamboyantly written words:
"Don't let it happen again."
Pei Zhengnian couldn't help but picture Shen Nanchu's slightly disdainful, tsundere little expression when writing this letter.
He wondered what their child looked like?
Did he look more like him?
Or more like her?
Rubbing the thin letter paper in his hand, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Pei Zhengnian became thoughtful.
Should he take advantage of the night to secretly go see the mother and child?
The thought had just sprouted when Pei Zhengnian pinched it out.
No, he couldn't bring danger to their side.
"Sun Xuelin, continue to stay highly vigilant tonight."
"Xiong Lei, return to the Beijing City hospital and protect your sister-in-law well. If you spot any suspicious individuals, apprehend them immediately."
"I'll call the higher-ups later to request reinforcements."
Sun Xuelin and Xiong Lei responded in unison,
"Understood, Regiment Commander."
"Will complete the mission, Regiment Commander."
After Xiong Lei left, Pei Zhengnian had Sun Xuelin take out a wireless radio set from his luggage bag.
Under Sun Xuelin's skillful hands, the radio soon transmitted sound,
"Regiment Commander Pei Zhengnian of the Fifth Regiment, Daliáo Army Corps, requests communication with Commander Tang of the Daliáo Army Corps!"
"Received!"
