Chapter 488: Chapter 488: The Ruthless Woman (8)_1

"You both have a child, how can there be no fate!?" Pei Qian asked, pursing her lips.

Pei Qin was stunned. Chase? But what did chasing him back mean!?

Several people were waiting for her to speak.

Pei Qin went back into the room with no expression on her face. She did not want to get married, not just because she was not suited for marriage. Her profession, with its need for secrecy, high intensity, and high risk, did not suit her for starting a family. She had always told Elder Pei to have another child with her mother, but Elder Pei said he was too old, and after having her he could not have any more children. Now, it’s settled; she had come to this wretched place, and the two of them could grow old together hand in hand.

Listening to the voices of several Little Radish outside, she felt somewhat bewildered. Pei Qin, she still harbored the delusional hope of being able to travel back.

When Shen Songming arrived, the atmosphere in the yard was gloomy and oppressive. "What’s the matter? What happened!?" Seeing several Little Radish but not Pei Qin, he immediately panicked, "Where’s Pei Qin?"

"In the room," Lu Hao replied to him.

Shen Songming glanced at everyone’s expressions and strode over, pushing the door open directly, "Pei Qin!? Pei... what’s wrong? What happened?"

Pei Qin sat upright on a small stool, her face filled with confused and desolate expressions.

Shen Songming felt a pang of pain in his heart as he quickly approached, knelt down, and rested his hands on her shoulders. "What’s wrong?" She is Pei Qin, the tyrant of Rongdu, always arrogant and unruly; when did she ever look like this? What had happened!?

Pei Qin slowly looked at him, "Shen Songming, if I settle down here and can’t return, tell me, who will take care of Elder Pei and my mother?"

Shen Songming’s breath hitched. He had a sister who divorced a scumbag and returned to her parents’ house with her nephew, probably never to marry again. Pei Qin was an only child, just her alone.

Two streams of tears fell down her cheeks, and Pei Qin laughed self-deprecatingly, "There’s no hope left."

"Pei Qin... no... it won’t happen! Maybe one day, we’ll be able to travel back!" Shen Songming couldn’t bear to see her like this, kneeling on one knee and reaching out to hold her tightly in his arms.

"Do you think I should try suicide?" Pei Qin asked.

"No! Don’t! I forbid it!" Shen Songming gripped her arm firmly, "Elder Pei still holds a title; the country will definitely take care of their retirement! You are not allowed to try! Not allowed!"

"I was just asking," Pei Qin sighed. She was someone who would never consider suicide at any time; it was too cowardly.

Shen Songming did not know what had happened to make her like this, but seeing her yawn with fatigue, her eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, he arranged for her to rest first. Coming out, he asked Pei Yuan and the others, "What exactly happened?" Pei Qin took on the responsibility for their growth, gave so much—if it weren’t something major, she would never be like this.

Pei Yuan didn’t know how to tell him.

Pei Qian was tense, staring at the door of Pei Qin’s room, when she suddenly came up and grabbed Shen Songming. "You said before that you didn’t mind the eldest sister, do you still want to marry her now?"

Shen Songming was slightly taken aback, "Of course I want to! Anytime, I’m willing to marry her! I came here this time for that very purpose."

"Good! I have another question for you..." Pei Qian pursed her lips, "If you don’t mind about the eldest sister, does that mean you also wouldn’t mind about the child in her belly!?"

Shen Songming was shocked, grasping her wrist in response, "She’s pregnant? Whose is it?"

Seeing the rage in his eyes as if about to devour someone, Pei Qian shivered, "What does it matter whose it is, do you still want to marry her or not?" She was terribly nervous asking this question.

Shen Songming’s face darkened with anger, fury in his eyes. "Is the child Mo Heng’s? The time she was drugged..." He paused; that was wrong, when he held her just now, she didn’t show any signs of pregnancy. Those events had taken place several months ago; it was impossible that she wouldn’t be showing by now. That meant it had to be recent...
