Chapter 1400: I Only Want You (98)


Life truly works in an amazing way.


She looked up at the sky and pondered over some things quietly.


I’ve never dared to be brave enough to fight for what I want. I’ve been living rather cowardly, now that I think about it.


Upon hearing footsteps approaching, Qin Guo turned to see that Pei Yi had returned.


He had a look of tenderness on his face and a smile on his lips, clearly in high spirits. Qin Guo was rather surprised because she had long gotten used to the perpetually sullen look on his face.


Pei Yi walked toward her and stopped in his tracks. “What are you looking at?”


Qin Guo hurriedly looked down and answered, “Ancestor, I heard from Ms. Jing Chu that you had gotten a divorce with your wife. Ancestor, did Madam agree to it?”


“This is not something that you should be concerned about.”


Qin Guo watched him enter the house, clenching her fists tightly.


“Have you eaten?”


“Of course not. Like I mentioned just now, I want to enjoy a feast.” He then sat down beside Jing Chu.


Just as he was about to kiss Jing Chu, who was carrying Pei Ling in her arms, Pei Ling extended his tiny hand out to slap and pinch Pei Yi’s face.


Jing Chu laughed and said, “Seems like your son doesn’t want you to enjoy this feast. Settle it yourself.”


She then carried Pei Ling back to the bedroom.


After dinner, Pei Yi returned to the bedroom to see that Pei Ling was still wide awake. Thus, he decided to go take a shower.


Pei Ling was finally asleep by the time Pei Yi exited.


Jing Chu was asleep too.


He picked Jing Chu up in his arms and sat down on the couch.


While in a daze, Jing Chu felt herself being undressed by Pei Yi, who moved his hands up and down every inch of her body.


She opened her eyes and rubbed them. “I forgot to ask you just now. Has everything been settled?”


“Yes.”


Jing Chu sat up and straddled him. Staring at him solemnly, she said, “I have a few questions for you, but I’ve never asked you about them in the past. I’d like you to answer me truthfully now.”


“What is it?”


“When I was in prison, why didn’t you visit me…”


Before she could even finish, he interrupted, “I did.”


“But I didn’t see you.”


“That’s because I didn’t let you see me. I discovered that you and Fat La.s.s got along really well with two other inmates. One of them is Su Yan’s wife, right?”


Jing Chu answered with a nod, “Yes.”


“What other questions do you have for me?”


“Did you want me back because I’m Pei Ling’s mother or because you missed my body? Or is there another reason?”


“What do you think?”


“I don’t know, but it should be those two reasons that I had mentioned.”


Cupping Jing Chu’s face in his hand, he said, “I decided to make you Pei Ling’s mother, precisely because I want you to be the mother of my children, not because I can’t find any other woman. In hindsight, I’m afraid I had probably already fallen in love with you back then.”


Having sensed that he was telling the truth, Jing Chu asked with tears in her eyes, “Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?”


“I’m not lying. There’s no need for me to lie to you. I’m telling the truth.”


“Okay…”


“You don’t seem too convinced by my words.”


Jing Chu shook her head and explained, “No, I do believe you. I thought that we would never meet again after I got sent to prison. Yet, we actually forged closer ties. Pei Yi, I’m telling you seriously now, if you dare to let me and our son down in the future, I’ll leave you for good, regardless of what it takes. You hear me?”


Knowing that she was dead serious, Pei Yi held her hand and said, “I won’t let you down again.”


She then looked down and planted a kiss on his lips while he reciprocated.

“Have you seen the news? Your daughter has married Su Yan,” Xi Changzhi said to his stepmother while keeping his eyes fixed on her.


Qiao An’s mother, Li Wanru, answered, “Of course I have. Are you still not satisfied after sending her to jail? I thought that you had already let go of your grudges, but it seems you’re still feeling indignant toward Qiao An. Are you upset that she got to marry a wealthy man like Su Yan, or are you upset that she didn’t end up living in poverty after going to jail like you had hoped for her to?”


Glaring daggers at her, Xi Changzhi said, “Aren’t you afraid that your daughter will deal with you now that she has the support of the powerful Su family? Don’t forget that you were the one who absconded with her a.s.sets, not me.”


“Don’t you think that she’ll probably a.s.sume that we were in cahoots?”


“She isn’t that silly. I’m already so wealthy, why would I need her money? Unlike me, you were left with nothing after divorcing her father. Although you colluded with me for the sake of marrying my father, you actually gave up on your daughter for your own selfish reasons. She probably detests and resents you. I wonder what she’ll do to me and you. I came here today to discuss this with you. We must get rid of her before she takes action against us. That’ll ensure that there won’t be any trouble in the future.”


“What do you plan to do?” Li Wanru asked with a sullen expression on her face.


“That’ll depend on your abilities. We have to work together again this time. We don’t have another option.” Xi Changzhi handed her a doc.u.ment and continued, “If you don’t want my father to learn about this, you’d better do as I say.”


Li Wanru took a look at the information, only to discover that it was a record of her tainted past, including the misdeed she had done by abandoning her daughter in S Nation.


“You eloped with another man to S Nation a short while after marrying Qiao An’s father and giving birth to Qiao An. You even gave birth to another daughter with that man and abandoned her for money. I believe things will get pretty interesting if my father were to find out.”


Li Wanru asked nervously, “How did you find out?”


“There’ll always be a way to find out so long as there’s evidence.”


Staring at him, Li Wanru said, “Tell me straight, what plans do you have?”


“I shall be frank about it, then…” Xi Changzhi said with a sinister smile.


Dumbfounded after hearing his plan, Li Wanru asked, “Are you really planning to do that?”


“What’s wrong?”


“You’ll be ruining your own reputation at the same time that you destroy Qiao An. Is it really worth it?”


“How are you so sure that my reputation would be ruined? The caption of the news will only insinuate that Qiao An still harbors feelings for her ex-husband. Just do as I tell you and stay out of the other matters.”


Li Wanru remained silent and sat on the couch with a deadpan expression after Xi Changzhi left.


She had abandoned both of her daughters.


My younger daughter has probably already been burnt as a sacrificial offering, she thought.
