The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1390: I Only Want You (88)

After playing with her for a while, Jing Chu took a casual glance at the balcony, only to realize that Su Yan was standing on it and looking at them with a glass of liquor in hand. He even smiled at her when he noticed that she was looking at him.

Jing Chu frantically looked down and continued playing with Su Nainai.

Tang Zhijing arrived in the afternoon. After hearing about her current situation, he nodded and said, "Actually, it's better for you to stay here than in the kindergarten. You're getting paid well and your safety is ensured. Pei Yi looked me up, by the way."

"Were you the one who gave him my mobile number? What else did he say?"

Tang Zhijing said truthfully, "I told him that you had started working here and I gave him your mobile number too. He was threatening me."

Jing Chu nodded and asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"No, he just seemed really exasperated. You're in a safe place, actually. He wouldn't dare to barge into your employer's home as and when he pleases. Besides, he has never crossed paths with the Su family, and the DK Organization is at odds against wealthy families in R Nation. I'm really surprised that you've been given the chance to work there. Although my family is wealthy too, I can't protect you as well as they can."

"I actually feel really sorry for failing to repay your kindness. You've given me so much help. You were the only one who visited me and Fat Lass in prison too. You're a great man, you really are."

"I actually didn't do much for you, don't make me out to be so high-sounding. I've been in low spirits lately, and I'm starting to find life to be rather meaningless. I've initiated a divorce but my wife is dead against it. We're just married to each other for the sake of common benefits. My parents are opposing strongly to the idea of our divorce too. Money is no longer a problem to me. I just want to have my own freedom."

"You're busy enough as it is, yet you still have to manage the modeling agency while running your parents' company. You'll definitely be exhausted in the long run."

"I feel much better after talking to you and airing my grievances."

"Come and visit me often, then. I'll chat with you while babysitting."

"Alright…"

After Tang Zhijing left, Fat Lass said to Jing Chu, "Mr. Tang had been suffering from severe insomnia for the past few months. I saw him popping sleeping pills on more than one occasion when I was working for him. Sis Jing Chu, I think his wife is a psychopath."

"Why do you say so?" asked Jing Chu, who knew nothing about Tang Zhijing's wife because… she had never met her before or heard anything about her from Tang Zhijing.

"I saw his wife a few times when she visited him at his home. She has short hair and she's rather pretty. However, she looks just like a sex maniac. I even witnessed with my very own eyes how she was trying to get intimate with Mr. Tang forcefully. Mr. Tang turned her down and chased her out."

Jing Chu was dumbfounded. Why does Tang Zhijing's wife sound so liberal and promiscuous? Although they're married, haven't they always stayed out of each other's private lives? Don't they date other people? Why did she even do that?

She suddenly felt sympathetic for Tang Zhijing, although she was in a worse predicament.

Fat Lass continued, "That's why I have a hunch that she's a maniacal psychopath."

"Stay out of it. He'll see to it himself. We're in no place to meddle with his relationship."

Pei Yi continued to be in low spirits for several consecutive days. In fact, he had never once felt genuinely happy in the past two years. After Jing Chu resigned, he stopped sending Pei Ling to school and handed the responsibility back to the nanny.

However, he had stopped letting Tian Tian look after the child and, instead, instructed the nanny to bring him to Mount Qingping every day.

Tian Tian would visit Mount Qingping whenever she could, under the pretext of missing her son.

Pei Yi turned a blind eye to her actions and allowed her to come by in the day. However, he would never allow her to stay the night.

Despite feeling disgruntled and unhappy, she had no choice but to swallow her pride. She could not help but feel frustrated because of his nonchalant attitude toward her. Although they had agreed to only be married in name at first, she felt that they were still married, after all, and that he ought to show her some care and concern.

She was still a woman at the end of the day.

Hence, during dinner, she deliberately spiked his drink while he was not paying attention, so as to make her plan work.

Yet, Pei Yi refused to touch the drink, regardless of how much she urged him to. He only begun drinking by himself after she left.

Knowing that she had spiked his drink, Tian Tian did not stray far from the mansion at all and returned half an hour later.

Qin Guo allowed her to enter, despite not knowing what she was there for.

Pei Yi was in the midst of taking a cold shower that did not help him cool down, especially since it was summertime where temperatures were at their warmest.

Upon hearing the noises outside, he locked the door of the bathroom and asked, "Who's there?"

There was no response. Thus, he called Qin Guo while trying to bear with the contractions in his abdomen. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Who's here?"

"It's Madam."

"Chase her out of the house."

"Yes…"

Pei Yi ended the call, feeling as if he was losing self-control.

He dialed Jing Chu's number with trembling fingers, only to discover that she had blocked his number, unsurprisingly.

Due to the immense effects of the aphrodisiac, Pei Yi spent the rest of the night masturbating.

He was exhausted and drained.

After checking the surveillance camera footage, he proceeded to catch some sleep for a few short hours.

The clueless Qin Guo discovered that he was looking pale and ghastly when she entered his room to deliver breakfast.

"Ancestor, are you alright?"

"If you dare to let Tian Tian in without my permission again, you shall punish yourself with fifty strokes of the cane."

Qin Guo was instantly filled with joy. She thought to herself, So what if Tian Tian got to marry him? She still failed to win his heart. She immediately answered, "I wouldn't dare to do it again."

He expressed assent and had his breakfast before leaving the house.

He did not have much to do today and hence decided to drive to his mother's home.

Mrs. Pei was having her breakfast, which was only a small portion of food. Upon the sight of him, the sickly Mrs. Pei asked, "Pei Yi, why are you here so early?"

"I'm here to visit you. Let me feed you." He then grabbed the bowl from the servant's hand and began feeding Mrs. Pei some porridge.

Noticing that he seemed to be unwell, Mrs. Pei asked, "Why do you look so awful? Are you ill?"

"Tian Tian came to my place yesterday and drugged me with an extremely potent aphrodisiac. I chased her away…"

A sullen expression formed on Mrs. Pei's face and she said, "That silly lass. Those drugs are particularly detrimental to one's health. How dare she spike your drink with them… but, I guess she's just at her wits' end because you're always so cold toward her. She had to come up with a trick or two to get your attention. Don't blame her for it."

Seeing how biased his mother was toward Tian Tian, Pei Yi decided not to say the words that he initially wanted to.

"Is there something you wanted to say?"

He fed her some porridge and said, "No. Here, have some more."

"I heard from Tian Tian that that woman has been released from prison. Is that true?"

"Yes."
