The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1409: I Only Want You (107)

Regardless of how hard Pei Yi tried to talk her around and knock some sense into her, she did not waver at all.

Thus, he continued to insist on forbidding Jing Chu from going while she stood firm to her decision and ignored Pei Yi.

Pei Yi did not indulge her or give in to her tantrums. Contrary to his expectations, she did not change her mind even after a long time.

He decided to give in when she threatened to kill herself.

He had no other option.

Jing Chu did consider the risks involved in going to the forest. However, she could not think of another possible solution for Pei Yi to back out of the DK Organization completely, especially after she saw the news about several nations working together to annihilate it. Ever since Pei Yi came clean with her, she began to get worried and anxious.

Hence, she insisted on staying firm to her decision and refused to budge.

Pei Yi used to think that Jing Chu was a meek and submissive girl whom he could control easily. However, he only realized now that she was as stubborn as a mule. She had never once considered ending her own life, despite all the hardship she endured ever since she was born. Yet she actually threatened him with her own life. Clearly, it mattered to her greatly, and no one could stop her at all.

His determination and rationality vanished the instant he heard that she was attempting to kill herself.

Hence, he insisted that he go with her to the forest. However, Jing Chu objected to it.

"If I really can't make it out, what's going to happen to our son? You can't go. I'm going alone."

"Let Fat Lass go with you. At least you'll have a companion."

Jing Chu was actually reluctant to let Fat Lass tag along because she was already feeling guilty enough for implicating Fat Lass and causing her to serve a jail term. However, Fat Lass offered to tag along, and Jing Chu agreed after realizing that Fat Lass' life would be in danger too if the DK Organization was gone.

Besides, Jing Chu was confident that they wouldn't die in the forest.

Hence, Jing Chu decided to set off as soon as possible.

However, Pei Yi refused to let her go because she was not physically prepared yet. She doesn't even know how to use a gun, how is she going to survive? he thought.

Thus, he instructed his men to train her for a period of time before allowing her to set off.

At the same time, he wanted her to realize how tough and physically demanding surviving in the wild can be, in hopes that she would give up out of her own accord.

However, Jing Chu pushed through the grueling training.

She never once gave up throughout the two months of hard training under Pei Yi's men.

Pei Yi had no idea what to do with her.

She would be embarking on her journey tomorrow.

Pei Yi decided to get intimate with her tonight in a bid to make her too sore to get out of bed the next morning. Hence, he was extremely rough and vigorous and did not take any contraceptive measures for the first time in a long while.

However, his efforts were futile.

He expended all his energy during the long battle in bed.

Yet she still left the following day.

Pei Yi woke up to see that he was alone in bed. He could not help but mutter in disgruntlement, "That heartless woman!"

He put on his clothes, got out of bed, and called Qin Guo to enter.

"When did she leave?"

"An hour ago," answered Qin Guo, who did not know where Jing Chu had gone to. All she knew was that Jing Chu and Fat Lass had left with their suitcases.

"Did she take a look at Pei Ling before leaving?"

"No." Noticing that he seemed to be curbing his anger, Qin Guo asked, "Ancestor, did your wife divorce you?"

"You're reading too much into things. Enough with the questions. I want to have my breakfast. Serve the food."

"Yes."

Pei Yi returned to the bathroom to freshen up before exiting again. He picked up his mobile phone to see that she had sent him a text message.

It read: "Don't belittle me. I have strong survival instincts and abilities. I'm not silly, I know what I'm doing. However, I can't just do nothing and rely on you for life. I'll do whatever it takes to come back in one piece. Take good care of Pei Ling. If I find out that you had mistreated my son when I get back, I definitely won't let you off. Last but not least, I'll miss you."

She's making me sound like a stepfather. She's not going to let me off if I mistreat her son? He's my biological son too!

However, he could not help but break into smiles the moment he read the last sentence of her sentence, after which he quickly replied to her.

"If you don't come back in one piece, I'll marry another woman and make another woman my wife. I'll let our son address another woman as his mother and forget you forever. If you don't make it back alive, I'll never miss you again and I'll erase you from my memory."

Soon, she replied: "How can I bear to let my handsome hubby sleep with another woman? How can I let my dashing son call another woman his mother? Perhaps I would be happy to let you forget me completely if I didn't know the truth of my son. However, I'm dead against that idea now, because I can't live without you."

Pei Yi was on cloud nine.

Before he could even reply, she sent yet another text message. "I'm switching off my mobile phone now. There won't be reception in the forest."

After replying with a simple "Okay," he continued to read her messages over and over again.

"I'll miss you."

"Because I can't live without you."

"I'll miss you."

"Because I can't live without you."

Jing Chu and Fat Lass brought one suitcase each.

They brought along some freeze-dried biscuits, bread, other non-perishables, as well as lots of bottled mineral water.

On top of that, Pei Yi had also prepared some daggers, ropes, guns, and lots of ammunition for her.

Jing Chu and Fat Lass only brought a set of clothes and shoes each. Jing Chu decided to bring as few clothes as possible to ease their burden. Besides, they were not here for a vacation anyway.

She had also brought some compressed tarpaulin, which they could use during rainy weather. Since all the items were compressed, they did not take up too much space.

The other belongings in her suitcase included mandatory items such as compasses, lighters, and first-aid kits.

She decided to be careful and stay vigilant.

Although Pei Yi was just making an analogy, she wanted to find out if life was really scarce on that patch of land. Hence, she decided to bring along different types of seeds and try planting them.

Pei Yi was the only person who knew about their presence in the forest.

There were barely any residences nearby the forest; hence, humans were scarce.

No one dared to enter the forest, and it had been that way for several years.

This gave Jing Chu a chance.

She and Fat Lass went through painstaking means to get through the large iron door. However, that was only the first step of their quest.

Jing Chu put the map away, and they began treading along the narrow path with their luggages.

The weather was exceptionally warm in August.

The two of them began sweating a short while later.

After walking for a brief period of time, they discovered that there was nowhere they could go to.
