Chapter 1376 - I Only Want You

Chapter 1376: I Only Want You (74)

I’m fine. I’ve just been coughing really terribly lately. I went for a checkup and I was told that I have lung cancer. It has already developed to the last stages. The doctor said that I could still be treated, though.

Pei Yi was filled with agony and distress. He and his mother had always depended on each other, and his mother was his only kin.

Mother…


I know you’re very upset, but what can we do? Pei Yi, Tian Tian is a really sweet girl. She’s been accompanying me all these while whenever you’re not around. She’s very meticulous and caring toward me. I would be elated if she could become my daughter-in-law.

Staring at her solemnly, he asked,
Aren’t there any other girls apart from Tian Tian?


I understand Tian Tian really well. She genuinely fancies you. No other woman will fancy you as much as she does. Don’t think that I don’t know what’s going on in this world. Girls like her are hard to come by nowadays. Not only is she caring toward me, she’s very caring toward you too. Pei Yi, I’ll die with no regrets if I can see you marry her and give birth to a child.

Pei Yi swallowed his words and stared at his sickly mother, no longer capable of speech.
It doesn’t matter as long as I can let her die without regrets.



Why didn’t you speak your mind in front of Godma?
Tian Tian asked.

Of course I couldn’t. Tian Tian, my mother is fond of you, but I’m well aware that you’re just trying to curry her favor. Don’t think I don’t know what tricks you’re getting up to.

Staring at him calmly, Tian Tian said,
Pei Yi, I know you’ve seen and experienced a lot, but did you forget how much you used to adore me in the past? Yes, I may have had poor judgment and rejected you back then, but haven’t I already proven how much I fancy you now? Let’s not bring up the past anymore. Don’t you want to marry me now? I can guarantee that I’ll take good care of Godma even when you’re not around. I’ll accompany her when you’re busy and let her live peacefully in her remaining days. Given the advanced technology we have nowadays, it shouldn’t be a problem for Godma to live another few years. Shall we give her a grandson while she’s still alive?

Pei Yi glared at her coldly and said,
Do you really think I’d get intimate with you?


We may opt for in-vitro fertilization instead.


If you can keep it a secret, I’ll agree to marry you and have a child with you via IVF.

Tian Tian agreed gleefully,
Sure.

Once I become his wife and bear his children, it’s only a matter of time before I win his heart.

He’ll definitely fall in love with me again.

Meanwhile, Pei Yi had ideas of his own.
She wants to bear my children?

Never in this lifetime!


Jing Chu was out of sorts for the entire day.
Time passed exceptionally slowly for her.
While watching television, Fat Lass yelled at her,
Sister Jing Chu, hurry and take a look at this. Breaking news!


What’s the matter?


Pei Yi is getting married. Look at the news. That’s the Pei Yi I was telling you about yesterday.

Jing Chu immediately shifted her gaze onto the television screen.
There was an ongoing report about the piece of news.
Jing Chu had a sudden realization when she saw the photo of Pei Yi’s fiancée.
It’s the woman who ran me over with her car that day.

No wonder Pei Yi knew that I got into an accident and said that the driver was someone he knew.

Did she run me over on purpose?

I don’t think so.

If she intended to harm me, she would have done so long ago.

Jing Chu’s heart sank to rock bottom.
Although I belong to him now, what’s going to happen after he gets married? If I still continue seeing him, what does that make me?

An ominous feeling filled her.
At last, she decided to send him a text message.

I saw the news reports about your upcoming wedding. Is that true?

She wished that he could tell her that they were just false rumors.
However, he did not reply to her.
He verified the validity of the piece of news when he visited her at night.
He arrived when Jing Chu was about to go to bed.
He closed the door and sat on the bed.
I saw the text message that you sent me.


Really?
she asked.

Yes, really. We’re getting married very soon, so don’t create any trouble and stay here obediently,
he said while staring at her.
Jing Chu held his gaze and asked,
Can I… take back my words?


What words?


I want to take back the words I said about belonging to you for the rest of my life and being enslaved to you forever.

He squinted and asked,
Do you think you have the freedom to go back on your words?

Jing Chu hung her head low and was at a complete loss for words.
He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
Jing Chu, don’t be greedy. You’re only deserving of being my slave, got it? Besides, don’t think that you can seek help from others to get out of my clutches. You were willing to become mine and I didn’t force you into this. I don’t want An Xiaoning to know that you’re together with me. If she finds out, those people who wanted to sacrifice you will find out very soon too. After all, I don’t want a disobedient woman by my side. If you ever dare to tell An Xiaoning, I’ll send you back to those people.

The coldness of his tone gave her the chills.

I wouldn’t dare to.

He let go of her and said,
Come here and serve me.

Jing Chu wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder with tears in her eyes.

There was barely anything she could do without a personal identity card. She could not purchase a house, check into a hotel, or find herself a job.
She couldn’t even buy a car or a plane ticket.
However, she had never thought of escaping. After all, she was the one who offered to be enslaved to him out of her own accord.
She knew that she could not run far, given her limited abilities.
Although the weather was warm, she still felt extremely chilly.
She headed to the pet shop together with Fat Lass.
They wanted to buy a pet.
After browsing through all the available pets, she finally settled on a snake. However, Fat Lass objected to it vehemently.
Sis Jing Chu, select a different pet instead. I’m really terrified of snakes. I get goosebumps whenever I see those boneless creatures.

Although Jing Chu fancied snakes, she decided to accommodate Fat Lass.
I’ll buy a cage for the snake and let it out only when I’m around. How does that sound?


Sis Jing Chu, you’ve got such a strange taste. Why do you like snakes? Don’t buy it. They really scare me. Shouldn’t snakes be hibernating now? Why do they still sell them in stores?

Seeing how terrified Fat Lass was, Jing Chu decided not to buy it, and they went home empty-handed.

Sis Jing Chu, are you angry?


No, I should be concerned about your opinion too. After all, we’re living together.


I’ve been sensing that you were unhappy since yesterday. Sis Jing Chu, what’s the matter with you?


Nothing much. Let’s go home,
she said with a smile.
Fat Lass decided not to probe any further, despite finding her to be in low spirits.
When they were approaching the mansion, they caught sight of a car parked by the entrance. However, Jing Chu knew that it was not Pei Yi’s car.

Whose car is that?
