Chapter 1374: I Only Want You (72)

Jing Chu was terribly upset the moment she realized that fact.

….

She stayed in the hospital all the way until November.

During the period of her hospitalization, Pei Yi would get intimate with her on the hospital bed.

He would leave in satisfaction every single time.

She returned to the mansion to see that it was clean and tidy. Did he hire the maid again?

Just as she was about to head upstairs, a figure popped up in the kitchen and said, “Sister Jing Chu, you’re home.”

Jing Chu turned around and was greeted with the sight of a chubby teenage girl who had on an apron and a bandana.

“You are…”

“I’m the new nanny whom Mr. Pei had just bought. I’ll take care of all the household chores from now on and my job is also to look after you. My name is Fat Lass.”

“He bought you?”

“Yes, Mr. Pei bought me. My parents passed away a long time ago, and I was sold to the black market where Mr. Pei bought me.”

Jing Chu took pity on her and empathized with her after hearing that she was an orphan.

“You’re an orphan? Me too. It’ll be just the two of us from now on. I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

Surprised to hear her words, Fat Lass waved frantically and said, “It’s no trouble at all. This place is much better than the one I used to live in. Sis Jing Chu, wait a moment. The food will be ready very soon.”

She nodded and sat on the couch.

Jing Chu could not help but feel a little agitated now that she had someone else to talk to apart from Pei Yi.

“Fat Lass, are you a local?”

“Yes. How about you, Sis?”

“I’m from S Nation.”

“You’re so well versed in our language, especially since you have a different native language.”

“I’m speaking a foreign language?”

“Yeah, the native language of S Nation is different from that of R Nation. You’re speaking the R Nation language right now, aren’t you?”

Jing Chu had never deliberately picked up a foreign language since she never had the chance to do so anyway. Not only could she communicate with animals, she could understand foreign languages and speak them fluently as well.

It was a talent of hers that she had just realized she possessed.

“Yes, I just came to this nation a while ago. I’m not too familiar with the place yet. Could you tell me more about it?”

Fat Lass nodded and said, “Sure. The women in our nation have a lowly status, and we have to undergo genital mutilation when we’re children. However, the crime rate here is very low because the family of criminals would be implicated and face a penalty as well. Hence, people would often refrain from committing crimes, for fear of harming their family.”

After learning about what genital mutilation was, she immediately got the chills and said, “I don’t want to give birth to a daughter here, then.”

Fat Lass explained, “It doesn’t happen to all girls. Lots of girls don’t undergo genital mutilation. It’ll be alright as long as their families keep it a secret. Sis Jing Chu, is Mr. Pei your husband?”

Shaking her head, Jing Chu answered, “No.”

“Is he your boyfriend, then?”

“Boyfriend…” He may not think that he’s my boyfriend, but I do consider him to be my boyfriend. She nodded and continued, “Yes.”

“Although I couldn’t manage to see Mr. Pei’s features clearly, I’m very certain that he’s dashing.”

Jing Chu smiled and said, “He is, indeed.”

Jing Chu finally had someone to talk to, and she could finally stop being bored. The two of them sat on the couch in the afternoon and watched some television while chatting.

Fat Lass told Jing Chu about everything that she had experienced in the past. She had been sold as an inanimate object and had been denied all of her basic human rights. She had been put through lots of inhumane torment as well.

She initially thought that Jing Chu would be an ill-tempered woman who had a wealthy husband. However, she was relieved after meeting Jing Chu and getting to know what she was really like. She was certain that she would get along well with Jing Chu.

It had never crossed Jing Chu’s mind that there would be other people who had experienced a predicament similar to hers — being put in a living hell where she was stripped of her basic human rights and freedom.

Fat Lass decided to tell her everything she knew about R Nation.

When she mentioned Pei Yi, Jing Chu asked excitedly, “You know who Pei Yi is?”

Fat Lass answered without hesitation, “Most people in R Nation know him. He’s the villainous kingpin of the DK Organization.”

Upon hearing her words, Jing Chu realized that Fat Lass was not aware that “Mr. Pei” was Pei Yi.

“What is the DK Organization?”

Fat Lass explained, “It’s the world’s most notorious terrorist organization. Lots of nations have tried to go against them but failed. They’re the ultimate scums of the human race.”

“Is Pei Yi the kingpin of the DK Organization? Was he the founder?”

“Of course not. R Nation is only one of DK’s headquarters. The main headquarters are in M Nation. The situation in R Nation has always been tumultuous, and the DK Organization has a large part to play for that. I heard that the DK Organization had once abducted lots of women and made them their playthings. I also heard that they kill the innocent ruthlessly without even having to think twice. They’re complete monsters and devils.”

It was the first time Jing Chu ever heard anything about his identity.

It was a far cry from the impression she had of him. She suddenly recalled the words that An Xiaoning had said to her.

“It’s rare of him to save someone like how he saved you.”

“Well, he did the right thing this time, but that doesn’t mean that he’s a good person. If you knew what he deals in, you probably wouldn’t think of him that way.”

“You and he belong to two different worlds. Jing Chu, you probably won’t see him again and he should be leaving S Nation soon. I think you’d better not find out his mobile number.”

“…”

Although Pei Yi was fickle and stern most of the time, he had treated Jing Chu rather well.

She could not tell before that he had evil tendencies.

“Is he married yet?”

Fat Lass answered, “No. I heard from others that his mother often urges him to get married, but he has never agreed to her request. In fact, there was even a hilarious rumor.”

“What rumor?”

“Rumor has it that he fancies a married woman. There are people who say that Pei Yi is in love with Jin Qingyan’s wife, An Xiaoning.”

Although Jing Chu was rather apprehensive about the rumor, she did not let it slip her mind. Sis Xiaoning doesn’t look like someone who will fancy Pei Yi. Besides, she has already married Mr. Jin again. Could it be one-sided on Pei Yi’s part?

“Have you seen Pei Yi before?”

“With my lowly status, I’ll never get to meet him. I don’t know what he looks like either. I heard that he’s very handsome, though.”

Jing Chu felt rather relieved. Fat Lass might just faint in shock if she knew that the person who had bought her was Pei Yi.

Hence, she decided not to tell her, lest she creates unnecessary trouble.

After dinner, Jing Chu headed upstairs to send Pei Yi a text message, asking him if he would be visiting her tonight. She was filled with fear and anxiety after hearing a “yes” from him.
