Chapter 627: Wait for My Return

His silence made her heart pound.

She clenched her fingers involuntarily. With short breaths, she asked, “It’s... it’s true?”

Li Lei still did not respond. Instead, another man’s voice was heard, “Who are you? Don’t come between Sister Su and Young Master Lei. Sister Su is already more than a month pregnant!”

“Da Li!” Li Lei was angered.

Xia Ling suspected she was hearing things. She asked quietly, “What?”

“Xiao Ling, listen to me...” Li Lei started.

“Listen to you?” Her voice was even softer now. H e did not deny what the other man said, which meant that Su Tang was really pregnant. But, with his child?

On the other end, she could even hear Su Tang’s voice. “Da Li, don’t create trouble. Be more polite to Miss Ye.”

“Sister Su! You’re just too nice, that’s why such a woman could find her way to Young Master! You’ve been with Young Master for so many years, and finally managed to bear his child, yet...”

“Get out!” Li Lei shouted.

“Young Master...?” Da Li dared not believe what he heard.

Li Lei could not be bothered with him. He went on with Xia Ling. “Xiao Ling, listen to me, please!”

“What are you going to say? That the child isn’t yours?” She tried to compose herself and hoped that he was going to say what she wanted to hear.

Instead, he said, “I can’t explain things clearly over the phone. When I return tomorrow, I’ll speak to you about this face to face.”

She was disappointed — he actually could not give her an answer over the phone. She knew that things were not so simple; otherwise, he would not tell her he “couldn’t explain things clearly.”

She felt her heart sink bit by bit.

“Wait for me! I’ll be back tomorrow!” Li Lei reminded.

In a daze, she did not know how she hung up. Meanwhile, Pei Ziheng was looking at her with a look of concern, “Xiao Ling, don’t be too sad. Since you know he’s such a person, give him up.”

“I don’t wish to see you.” She said dryly. At that point, she did not want to hear such advice. She kept convincing herself that Li Lei must have had his reasons. He would explain it all to her when he returned, he definitely would.

But Pei Ziheng went on. “He already has a child with another woman. He’s let you down.”

Xia Ling shook her head and walked out of the room. She did not want to be near Pei Ziheng.

Pei Ziheng was gloating internally as he saw her back view. He dialed the same number she did before and someone picked up almost immediately. “I’m looking for Li Lei.”

Li Lei received the phone and asked, “Pei Ziheng, how come it’s you this time?”

“Stop hurting Xiao Ling,” Pei Ziheng said calmly in a low voice. “Since you can’t give her happiness, then stop pestering her. She cried in my arms just now, her eyes are badly swollen.”

“She’s with you now?” Li Lei’s voice turned cold.

“Of course.” Pei Ziheng said, “I was right beside her when she called you. Honestly, I feel so bad for you. Xiao Ling is such a nice girl, but you went off to have a child with another woman just because Xiao Ling can’t bear children anymore? But thank you. Because you broke her heart, she’s starting to realize how nice I am to her. I will take good care of her, thank you for returning her to me.”

“Pei Ziheng, don’t you dare touch her!”

Pei Ziheng smirked. “Who are you to her?” Then, he hung up.

On the other end, Li Lei punched a table.

Su Tang and the other men in the house looked at him, not daring to make a sound. Li Lei rarely got angry, but when he did, he was one to be feared.

“Young Master, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault...” Su Tang’s voice was shaking as she rested one hand on her stomach. “I’ve made Miss Ye unhappy...”

The men looked indignant on her behalf.

Sister Su’s loyalty towards Young Master all these years was recognized by everyone, and even more so after she went through so much to save him just a few days back. Since Young Master had gotten Sister Su pregnant, how could he not make things clear with other women? Sister Su was really more than anyone could ask for, which other women would sacrifice so much for him?

But looking at Li Lei’s solemn face, nobody dared to voice those words.

Li Lei glanced at everyone in the house before saying in a somber, almost threatening voice, “If I find that any one of you here is disrespectful to Xiao Ling, don’t blame me for cutting all ties with you!”

Su Tang lowered her head and bit her lip.

Finally, one of the men said something, “Young Master, you have to take care of Sister Su and the baby!”

Li Lei looked at Su Tang and kept quiet for a while before saying gently, “Su Tang, return to the room and rest first. Don’t brood over things.”

Su Tang nodded and made her way to the room. After just a few steps, she stopped and turned around.

“Sister Su, what’s wrong?” One of the men asked.

“Young Master,” Su Tang’s voice was tender. “You’re returning tomorrow to look for Miss Ye? But, your wound...”

“It’s no big deal,” Li Lei said. As he stood up, the wound on his abdomen hurt intensely. He furrowed his brows and stood still for a moment, waiting it out, before saying, “Get the car ready, I’m going to the airport now.”

“Young Master!” A few of them tried dissuading him. “You’re still seriously injured!”

“Don’t fuss.” He spat those words out coldly and walked out.

Once he had walked far enough, discussions erupted —

“Young Master is too cruel. Sister Su is pregnant and he’s going to meet another woman!”

“What kind of vixen is Ye Xingling? Old Master has already chased her out, and she’s still pestering Young Master. How shameless!”

“Exactly, how can she compare to our Sister Su in any way!”

“Don’t speak of Miss Ye this way.” Su Tang was slightly pale. With one hand on her stomach, she kept her voice refined as usual. “She had no other choice but to run towards Young Master after escaping from Pei Ziheng.”

“Ew, so she’s a used good!”

“Sister Su, you’re too nice! That’s why that wanton woman dares to do this!”

“We can’t let Young Master return!”

“Yes, we can’t let Young Master return!”

Su Tang looked down. That’s right, she did not want Li Lei to return either. What if he explains everything clearly to that wretched woman when they meet?

She said her goodbyes to the men in the house and walked towards the Old Master’s place.

Xia Ling was standing in the breeze on the balcony of Pei Ziheng’s villa. Her head cleared up in the chilly air.

She was still upset, but she knew that this wasn’t the time to indulge in her sadness. She walked back into the villa.

Pei Ziheng grabbed her. “What are you doing?”

“I want to go back to City S.” Xia Ling looked up at the tall, big man before her. “Pei Ziheng, I want to wait for Li Lei at the airport in City S. He said he’d return tomorrow and make things clear to me!”
