Chapter 1418: I Only Want You (116)
Tian Tian took a few steps backward and exclaimed in astonishment, “You’re lying to me, aren’t you? This isn’t real, it’s not real!”
Since the door had been left ajar, Qin Guo could hear everything clearly from outside.
She could not help but admit that Pei Yi was being too cruel.
How… ruthless.
“Why would I lie to you? In case you’re still not convinced, I’ll give you a strand of Pei Ling’s hair and you can bring it for a DNA test. Once the results are out, you’ll know if we’re lying to you or not. During the IVF treatment, I swapped your ovum for Jing Chu’s.” He then plucked two strands of hair from Pei Ling’s scalp and handed it to her. “Take it. You’ll only get to do this once.”
Dumbfounded, Tian Tian took it from him and exclaimed agitatedly, “Pei Yi, how could you do this to me? How could you!?! I loved you with all my heart — you were the only person I loved. Didn’t you know how I felt about you? How could you hurt my feelings like that? Pei Yi, you’re a jerk, you’re inhumane!”
Pei Yi retorted with a straight face, “I’m inhumane? You ran Jing Chu over with your car, framed her using the compensatory sum, and put her behind bars. Does that make you humane? We’re the same. Don’t be a pot calling the kettle black. The situation right now is tense and DK is at odds with several nations. Don’t come here anymore. I don’t want to see you ever again. Find someone you fancy and settle down with him.”
Tian Tian snapped, “Pei Yi! You lied to me for so many years and yet you’re expecting me to leave after just telling me these things? I admit, I did do your wife wrong but didn’t you let me down too?”
“We had a mutual agreement before we got married, didn’t we? Since you wanted to marry me, you should’ve prepared yourself to take risks. Besides, we were only married in name and I had never gotten intimate with you before. Pei Ling is not your son anyway. You did waste your youth and time on this marriage, but so did I. I just managed to foil your plans. You don’t have to get so worked up. I know clearly what you’ve been thinking. Tian Tian, if I had nothing to my name, would you still have bothered wasting so much time on me? You’ll have probably just ignored me like how you did in the past.”
His words had struck a sour note within Tian Tian. The worst decision she had ever made in her life was to reject Pei Yi when he tried to pursue her in the past.
She left dejectedly.
Pei Yi had never spared a thought for the feelings of those whom he did not care about.
He only ever cared about the feelings of those who mattered to him.
He did not bother about the others at all.
Standing at the door, Qin Guo could already guess the expression on Pei Yi’s face without having to look at him.
At past ten o’clock at night, Qin Guo discovered that Pei Yi and Jing Chu were about to leave. “Ancestor, where are you and Madam headed to at such a late hour?”
Remaining calm and composed, Pei Yi answered, “Jing Chu misses the days when she was living in the mansion and she wants me to take her there. We’ll be staying at the mansion tonight.”
Qin Guo nodded and said, “Alright… drive safely, then, Ancestor.”
“Alright.”
Pei Yi and Jing Chu then walked past her, hand in hand. As soon as they left, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Qin Guo. “Xiao Guo 1.”
Qin Guo looked up at him in astonishment. Throughout the years of working for him, he would rarely address her that way. He would usually just address her by her full name.
She asked gleefully, “Ancestor, what’s the matter?”
Staring at her calmly, Pei Yi said, “Life is short. Let go when you have to. I’m allowing you to live for yourself now.”
Qin Guo insisted, “No. Since I’ve joined DK, I’ll always belong to the organizaton. I’ll always follow you wherever you go.”
Pei Yi knew that her loyalty would be a benefit to the DK Organization but not to herself.
“…”
He then turned around and pulled Jing Chu away.
Somehow, Jing Chu could not help but feel bad for Qin Guo, for she felt that the latter was simply being foolish and blindly loyal.
She could also tell that Pei Yi wanted to tell Qin Guo the truth but could not bring himself to do it.
Once they got inside the car, Pei Yi said, “Don’t worry, I’ve left a note for her on the desk. She’ll see it.”
Jing Chu felt a great sense of relief. She turned around to look at Fat Lass, who was carrying Pei Ling in her arms.
Pei Yi drove away from Mount Qingping smoothly without obstruction.
Halfway through their journey, the sky began pouring.
He drove into the mansion.
“Weren’t we supposed to go to the forest? Why did you come to the mansion instead? Are we really going to stay here for the night?” Jing Chu asked.
He smirked and said, “Of course not, we’re leaving from here.”
“From here?” Although Jing Chu was unaware of what his plans were, she did not probe further and instead just followed him.
To Jing Chu’s surprise, there was more to the mansion than what she knew. Despite having lived there for a period of time, she had never once discovered the extraordinariness of it.
There was a secret back door.
They had to press a hidden button to activate it.
After they passed through the door, Pei Yi said, “I’ve already mapped out the route that we’re going to take. We’ll be able to escape the surveillance cameras if we take this route. No one will be able to trace our whereabouts then. We’ll reach the forest straight away, but the journey is a little far.”
“It’s alright.”
Pei Yi carried Pei Ling in his arms. Fortunately, it was only drizzling and they could walk at a faster pace.
Pei Yi had a better sense of danger and knew how to avoid the law and authority figures. After all, he had been working for DK for a long time and climbed his way to the top in order to become one of the greatest leaders. Hence, he was sharp and sensitive.
Not only would the route lead to the forest, it could also lead them directly to the harbor.
Besides, the journey to the harbor would be much shorter compared to the forest.
Pei Yi had already erased all the surveillance camera footages of him planning out the route one year ago.
He deleted all the evidence thoroughly, and nothing suspicious could be found on the surface. Even if anyone were to check the surveillance camera footages, it could only be traced to the harbor.
The three-year-old Pei Ling had already become much heavier, and it was rather exhausting for them to carry him. However, Pei Yi carried him all the way to the forest.
The rain had begun to grow heavier.
Apart from Pei Ling, who was wrapped in a jacket, the other three of them were all drenched from head to toe.
Fortunately, they found the forest in the end.
Although their feet were sore and covered in blisters, they could not feel happier.
It was the first time that Pei Yi would be seeing the house that Jing Chu and Fat Lass had built together.
Although the only light source they had was the electric lamp, he could already tell that it was spectacular.
There were a few houses, a pig sty, some fowl, sheep, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden.
Their new home was built by the two women after a year of painstaking effort.
They did it all for the sake of the safety of Pei Yi and Pei Ling.
Pei Yi was moved to tears. Jing Chu had so much potential and energy for such a petite woman.
