Chapter 1379: I Only Want You (77)

However, she did not make his wishes come true. When she reached his abdomen, she looked up at him and chuckled, “Master Pei, are you happy when you’re with me?”

“Yes…”

After receiving an affirming answer, she smiled playfully and said, “I’ll make you even happier.”

She then continued advancing downward.

Pei Yi stared at the ceiling and enjoyed the thrill and joy that she was giving him.

….

Jing Chu woke up with a fuzzy memory the next morning.

However, she soon recalled everything that happened. She could not help but turn red and warm at the thought of how h.o.r.n.y she was last night.

I actually…

How embarra.s.sing.

Whatever, he’s not a stranger anyway.

She got out of bed and freshened up. When she made her way downstairs for breakfast, Fat La.s.s said gleefully, “Mr. Pei said that he would be coming over for lunch later at noontime.”

“Lunch? Noontime?”

“Yes, you heard me correctly, Sis Jing Chu. I meant lunch at noontime.”

“What was his mood like… when he left?”

“He seemed to be in high spirits. He was all smiles.”

“…”

Jing Chu did not ask any more questions. After breakfast, she sat outside the yard and basked in the sun, allowing the golden rays to warm her up.

If only life could always be like this.

How wonderful would it be if I had something to do every day and someone to wait for.

However, she knew that her simple wish could not be fulfilled.

Qin Guo arrived before Pei Yi did.

Qin Guo could not believe her eyes, nor the fact that Pei Yi actually had a mistress.

She was aware of the pa.s.sword to this mansion. When Tian Tian called her last night to ask about Pei Yi’s whereabouts, she stammered and said that he was in Mount Qingping. Ever since then, she had begun suspecting that something was up with Pei Yi. It turned out her suspicion was not uncalled for.

Jing Chu stood up and stared at the woman who was approaching her. She realized that it was not Pei Yi’s wife.

Instead, it was someone whom she had never seen before.

“You are…”

Qin Guo answered, “I’m Ancestor’s servant. My name is Qin Guo.”

“Ancestor?”

“I mean Pei Yi.”

Jing Chu had no idea why she had addressed Pei Yi as “Ancestor.” She asked, “Ms. Qin, what brings you here?”

“Nothing, I just came by to take a look. Who are you?”

“I…” Jing Chu was momentarily speechless. However, she was quick-witted and answered within seconds, “I’m one of the maids here. Fat La.s.s and I are in charge of cleaning the house.”

“Who’s Fat La.s.s?”

“A fellow maid. She’s doing the dishes inside the kitchen.”

Qin Guo took a few glances at her before s.h.i.+fting her gaze onto a hickey on Jing Chu’s neck, which had caught her attention.

Glaring daggers at her, Qin Guo questioned, “Liar. You’re Ancestor’s mistress, aren’t you?”

Jing Chu remained silent, at a complete loss for words.

Qin Guo took her silence for consent.

“Ancestor’s wife had been calling me frequently every night to ask about where he had been sleeping and when he would be home. I brushed her off with excuses. It never crossed my mind that he would actually have a mistress. Pardon my bluntness, but how long do you seriously think you can stay by Ancestor’s side for?”

Jing Chu looked up and answered, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Qin Guo guffawed sarcastically and gibed, “You’re so silly. I shall be honest with you. I’ve been serving Ancestor for years and I know clearly what kind of a person he is. He had bedded virgins in the past too. However, they all died afterward.”

Jing Chu asked in astonishment, “Died… they died?”

“I’m not trying to scare you. They really died. How do you think they died?”

“Did Master Pei kill them?”

Qin Guo answered firmly, “That’s right. If you’re sensible, you’d better not stay here for too long. Ancestor is temperamental, fickle, and unpredictable. I can’t guarantee that he won’t kill you someday.”

Consumed by terror, Jing Chu’s hands began trembling uncontrollably.

However, she still wanted to convince herself that he would never kill her. He didn’t seem like the sort.

She constantly tried to comfort herself.

Qin Guo said, “Please don’t tell Ancestor that I was here. Otherwise, I’ll also tell his wife about your existence. That’s all I have to say. I’m leaving now.”

Jing Chu had tensed up in fear, feeling as if her heart was being scrunched up tightly and no longer capable of beating.

As soon as she returned upstairs, she sat on the bed and began researching about the DK Organization online.

Although she was barely literate, she could still understand the reports and comments made about them online.

After reading the content, she sat on the bed stiffly. Her hands and legs were cold and clammy, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

Pei Yi returned during noontime. Noticing that she seemed to be out of sorts, he asked, “Are you still hungover?”

Jing Chu looked at him and asked, “Will you kill me?”

Pei Yi asked with a frown, “Why would you ask such a question?”

“I’m asking you, will you kill me in the future?”

He answered half-jokingly, “I won’t if you stay obedient. But if you disobey me, I might very likely kill you.”

Flabbergasted, Jing Chu lay down and pulled the duvet over her face. She felt terribly worried.

Pei Yi lifted the duvet and asked, “Why are you acting so strangely? What happened?”

Jing Chu bit her lip and said, “I’m afraid that you’d kill me. I’m terrified. I’ve been through lots of suffering in the past. Could you please let me continue living like this? Don’t kill me. Let me experience the wonderful bits of life.”

“Why would I kill you with no rhyme or reason?”

Seemingly having guessed something, Pei Yi added, “Did someone say something to you?”

“No,” she answered, shaking her head.

Pei Yi could tell from her expression that someone must have spoken to her. “Tell me honestly, did someone tell you something?”

“No…”

“Do you want me to check the surveillance cameras? I’ll find out once I do.”

“A woman named Qin Guo came by this morning, and she told me not to let you know of her visit. She threatened to inform your wife about our relations.h.i.+p if I were to tell on her.”

A menacing look formed on Pei Yi’s face and he said, “How dare she.”

Upon realizing that he sounded a little stern, he mellowed his tone and continued, “Don’t worry, she wouldn’t dare to tell my wife. She definitely wouldn’t. Tell me, what did she say to you?”

Jing Chu told him everything truthfully, after which she could tell that he was infuriated.

“Is Ms. Qin really your servant?”

“Yes, but just ignore her. I’ll deal with her when I go back.”

“Just pretend that you don’t know anything. Otherwise, she’ll definitely know that I was the one who told you,” Jing Chu said worriedly.

“Are you afraid of her?”

“No, but just don’t do it.”

He conceded after much persuasion.

——

Jing Chu headed to the orphanage to see that the man whom she had chanced upon in the estate the other day was present too.

Tang Zhijing saw her as well.

“What are you doing here?”

“I should be asking you that. I’m a volunteer here.”
