Chapter 1373: I Only Want You (71)

It had been a long time since Tian Tian last saw Pei Yi. He refused to answer her calls, and she could not find him in Mount Qingping either. She could not help but feel touched about him rendering her help this time. She said, “Pei Yi, you must help me settle this. I really don’t know what to do.”

“You actually need my help? You’re so invincible, why would you need my help?” Pei Yi asked coldly.

Tian Tian said coquettishly, “I’m not as invincible as you are. Help me settle it, I’ll compensate you in whatever way I have to.”

Pei Yi said, “We’ll talk after the surgery ends.”

The surgery lasted for an entire hour, and Jing Chu managed to pull herself out of danger. She was sent to the hospital ward.

However, she was still unconscious.

Not wanting to go to the hospital again, she took out a bank account card from her bag and said, “There are 100 thousand dollars in here. Help me hand it to her.”

Staring at the card in her hand, Pei Yi rebuked, “How do you have the cheek to offer such a meager amount of money? Why don’t you let her run you over with a car and compensate you with 100 thousand dollars?”

“It wasn’t entirely my fault. She was the one who ran across the road without looking.”

“The police will check the surveillance camera footage. You probably have to bear the full responsibility. Since you’ve decided to let me handle this, you have to show your sincerity. Give me one million dollars. That’ll cover the medical expenses too.”

“What? One million!?!”

“Isn’t that a reasonable amount? You wrecked her and yet you’re expecting to pay peanuts? If you’re not willing to fork out the money, then settle this yourself. I’m going to leave now.” As soon as he stood up, Tian Tian stopped him and handed him another bank account card. “There are 900 thousand dollars in here.”

Pei Yi took it from her and said, “You may leave now. I’ll help you settle it.”

Tian Tian nodded and exited with her bag. She could put her mind at ease with his help.

After closing the door, Pei Yi stared at the unconscious Jing Chu with a frown on his forehead.

He thought that she would return to the mansion right after leaving the nightclub. However, she actually loitered around outside.

How worrying.

....

Jing Chu woke up again at past five o’clock in the morning, only to find that she was aching from head to toe. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was greeted with the sight of Pei Yi sitting on the chair beside her bed with his eyes closed.

Jing Chu turned pale the instant she recalled the events that took place last night. She had gotten into an accident...

All she could remember was that it was a woman who had run her over with her car and helped her up. But how did I end up here?

No idea. He seems to be in so much peace while sleeping, however.

The dim lights shone on his face, allowing his beautiful features to be accentuated.

Jing Chu continued to gaze at him, all the way until he woke up at daybreak.

Pei Yi met her eyes as soon as he opened his. He questioned with a sullen expression, “Why did you wander around on your own instead of staying inside the mansion?”

“I was just going out to take a breather.”

“Why would you end up in the nightclub, then? If it weren’t because of me, you wouldn’t have been able to leave that room,” Pei Yi said in displeasure.

The private room incident had infuriated Jing Chu as well.

“If you’re not attracted to a hideous person like me, please don’t look at me ever again, Master Pei, lest your eyes get polluted.”

Sensing how upset and disgruntled she was, Pei Yi smiled and said, “You actually got upset because of that. Don’t take those words to heart, it was just an excuse that I gave them. I simply didn’t want them to know that you’re my woman.”

The anger within her vanished instantly. Jing Chu gazed at him and asked, “Did you only say those words to patronize them?”

“Of course. Why would I get intimate with you if I found you hideous?”

Blushing shyly and feeling much better, Jing Chu said, “That person who ran me over...”

“She happens to be someone I know. There’s 900 thousand dollars in this card. It’s the compensatory sum that she’s given you.”

Jing Chu’s eyes widened in shock and she asked, “Nine hundred thousand dollars? So much money?”

“It’s not a lot. Just take what you deserve. You’re going to be hospitalized for a long while, and you’ll have to continue receiving treatment too. How troublesome.”

Jing Chu quipped, “Yes, I’m very troublesome. Mr. Pei, you may just dump me on the streets.”

Pei Yi was speechless.

This little lass is out to drive me to my grave. She’s getting better and better at talking back to me. Is it because she’s getting closer to me or what?

“You’re still my woman at the end of the day. How could I leave you in the lurch?”

“Will you come to visit me often?”

Feeling a little upset, she continued, “You were away for so many days and I never dared to call you because I was afraid of disturbing you. You had been visiting me consistently for two months and yet you went missing for an entire week without warning. I was so bored at home with no one to talk to at all. I wait for your arrival every single day and you sounded so annoyed when I called you. Have you ever thought about me? Mr. Pei, there may be lots of people in your world but you’re the only person in mine. My life revolves around you.”

Pei Yi was rather touched by her words.

He said with a tender voice and a gentle expression, “I was just busier this week.”

“You were busy and yet you could still go to the nightclub?”

She seemed just like a disgruntled wife who was protesting against her husband’s actions.

“I went there to discuss a business deal. Did you think that I was there for fun?”

After hearing his explanation, Jing Chu decided to drop the subject.

Staring at him in shock, she said, “Mr. Pei, why don’t we give birth to a child after I recover?”

Momentarily stunned beyond words, Pei Yi asked, “Why?”

“What do you mean why? Whenever you’re not around, I’ll at least have the child’s company and I won’t feel bored and lonely. I won’t have to keep waiting for you even if you don’t come back for days. I’ll be fine as long as I have the child.”

“You’ll never have children.”

“Why? Did the doctor say that I can’t conceive?” asked a flabbergasted Jing Chu.

“I’ll never let you have my children.”

Jing Chu finally understood what he meant. He will never let her give birth to his children or marry her. She could never rise beyond her current status.

But...

Her eyes turned red with tears and she asked, “Who will have your children, then?”

Pei Yi was at a loss for an answer. “Jing Chu, I want a sensible woman.”

He wanted her to know that he found her insensible.

Suddenly reminded of the pills that he had given her, Jing Chu asked, “What medication did you feed me with previously?”

“Emergency contraceptive.”

Ever since the time that she popped the pills, he had begun using condoms whenever he got intimate with her.

Would I be able to give birth to his child if I don’t take contraceptives or poke a hole in the condoms?

“If I happen to be impregnated with your child by accident, what would you do?”

Pei Yi answered bluntly, “I’ll send you for an abortion and you’ll never get to be with me again.”

Filled with disappointment, she remained silent.

He had already drawn a clear line between them.

She was well aware of it now.

Right, he doesn’t love me anyway. Why would he let me have his child?
