Chapter 1375: I Only Want You (73)
She wanted to know if the rumor was credible.
She desperately wanted to know everything.
It was eleven o’clock at night.
He had finally come.
She could tell how tired he was from the way he lay motionlessly on the bed.
“Are you exhausted?”
“Yes.”
“Do you want me to massage you?”
He lay on his stomach and said, “Yes, I need that very much.”
She began massaging him with all her might while pondering how she should ask him those questions that she had.
After a long while of silence, she said, “Mr. Pei...”
“Don’t address me that way anymore. Don’t you find it too formal?”
“How should I address you, then?”
“Call me master.”
She bit her lip and said, “Master Pei.”
“Do you have something to say?”
Can he actually read my mind?
Jing Chu opened her mouth and asked, “Master Pei, what do you do for a living?”
“I belong to the DK Organization. Do you know what that is?”
She nodded and said, “I do.”
Afraid of implicating Fat Lass, she said, “I read some forums and posts about you. Rumor has it that you’re in love with Sister Xiaoning. Is that true?”
“Do you think it’s true?” he asked.
“I don’t... I don’t know.”
“I don’t think I fancy her. Rather, I admire her a lot. I really do admire her. She’s a woman who had managed to impress me with her unique charm. It’s a shame that she’s married to Jin Qingyan. What a waste,” Pei Yi answered with his eyes closed.
“How is it a shame? Mr. Jin is very handsome and wealthy. He’s very capable too. Sister Xiaoning has great taste and they’re a match made in Heaven,” said Jing Chu.
“You’re praising him to no end. Who do you think is more outstanding, me or him?”
What a tough question...
“Each of you has your own merits.”
“Psht...” He turned over and grabbed her hair before pinning her down onto the bed. Keeping his eyes fixed on her, he said, “You’re not to compliment other men in front of me. No matter how outstanding he may be, he’s still someone else’s man. I’m your man. You should be praising me instead.”
Staring at him, Jing Chu chuckled and asked, “Master Pei, are you getting jealous?”
“Of course not, silly. I just don’t like hearing my woman complimenting someone else,” he explained.
Jing Chu decided not to argue any further.
She had no idea how they started getting intimate.
He was clearly already exhausted, yet he still managed to thrust himself deep inside her with much force.
However, he stopped after climaxing once.
He then held her in his embrace and dozed off. However, Jing Chu could not fall asleep.
A man like him must be living on the edge with his guard up high all the time. There are definitely lots of people who are yearning to annihilate him. However, all I want is a simple life of peace and security.
The life she wanted seemed to be the complete opposite of the one he was leading.
Yet, she belonged to him, and that would be the life she’s going to lead forever, unless he got sick of her.
I was 19 years old when I met him. I’ll be turning 20 years old in December. I’m still so young. This should be the best time of my life.
But what’s going to happen from now on?
I don’t know when he will get sick of me. It might be a few months from now, or a few years, or perhaps...
What can I depend on in the future?
I want a family.
I want children of my own.
But he won’t allow it.
Am I supposed to wait until he’s sick of me to get married to someone else?
She dozed off unknowingly.
She was woken up in the morning by his ringtone.
Pei Yi opened his eyes and answered the call without taking a look at the caller display.
“Hello.”
“...”
“Mother, there you go again...” He stood up and continued, “Okay, okay, okay, stop rattling on about that. Who is it this time?”
“...”
“Yes, I’ll show up. Are you happy now?”
“...”
“I’m hanging up now.”
Pei Yi glanced at Jing Chu before getting out of bed.
Jing Chu had been keeping her eyes closed and only opened them slowly after he exited the bedroom.
She could guess that his mother was urging him to attend a matchmaking session.
He had agreed.
If it’s successful, is he going to get married?
——
Pei Yi returned to Mount Qingping to see that Qin Guo was busy preparing breakfast. Upon the sight of him, she immediately asked, “Ancestor, you didn’t come home last night. Where did you spend the night?”
“Why? Have you started poking your nose into my business?”
Qin Guo lowered her head immediately and said, “I wouldn’t dare to.”
“In that case, shut up.”
Shortly after, he came out of his room in a fresh set of clothes. She asked, “Ancestor, where are you going?”
“My mother arranged a matchmaking session for me. I’m going to turn up for my blind date now. Would you like to come along?” he quipped.
Qin Guo was speechless. She thought to herself, That old hag is so stubborn. He’s already gone on so many blind dates...
None of them worked out in the end. He was only patronizing his mother.
After Pei Yi left, Qin Guo leaned against the railing, feeling extremely vexed and frustrated.
It’s strange enough that Ancestor has been spending nights out.
She found it strange because Pei Yi would never spend a night outside in the past, although he had several other properties elsewhere. He never felt safe and would always return to Mount Qingping.
Pei Yi left Mount Qingping and drove to a café in the city center.
It was eight o’clock in the morning. What an early time for a blind date.
He entered the café to see that his blind date had already arrived.
To his surprise, it was Tian Tian.
He turned around to leave the instant he saw her.
Tian Tian frantically chased after him and stopped him in his tracks. “Pei Yi, Godma was the one who arranged this. You’ve been to so many matchmaking sessions and yet none of them worked out. Godma thinks that I’m the most suitable one for you.”
“I remember rejecting the idea of marrying you when my mother suggested it to me time and time again. Didn’t you hear it from her?”
Staring at him solemnly, Tian Tian said, “Pei Yi, do you know that Godma received the results of her health checkup today?”
“Health checkup? I didn’t hear about that,” said Pei Yi.
“Here’s the report. If you don’t believe me, you may ask Godma about it yourself.” Tian Tian handed him the report of the checkup and continued, “Godma wants me to marry you and give birth to her grandson. I share similar sentiments too.”
Pei Yi took a look at the report, and his hands trembled the moment he read the last line.
Mrs. Pei had been diagnosed with the last stage of lung cancer.
“Are you lying to me?”
Tian Tian stared at him and said, “Pei Yi, am I such a person to you? Why would I joke about Godma’s health?”
Pei Yi glanced at her and turned around to walk away. He got inside his car while Tian Tian got inside her own. They then drove to Mrs. Pei’s home.
Mrs. Pei let out a few coughs and said, “Did you meet Tian Tian?”
Pei Yi sat down on her bed and asked, “Mother, how are you now?”
