After The Divorce, My Dad Was Abused and Cried - Chapter 22

When Jian Muyu was feeling frustrated, Pei Yichen drove over.

Jian Muyu got in the car immediately.

Then he urged.

“Drive quickly.”

Pei Yichen glanced at Jian Muyu.

Her hair was a little messy, and her face was a little flushed. She

looked as if she had just been bullied.

“What’s wrong with you?” Pei Yichen asked hurriedly.

“Let’s talk about it later, drive quickly.” Jian Muyu opened the makeup mirror and adjusted her hair slightly.

“Yeah.” Pei Yichen responded without asking any more questions.

But when driving away, he looked up at the opposite side.

A black car was parked not far away, and a figure was vaguely sitting in the car.

It seemed that he was still looking at them.

Watching Pei Yichen’s car leaving, Xi Peijue did not chase after him, but stared deeply at the direction they left.

The emotion in his eyes was so dark that it was hard to see through.

Jian Muyu and Pei Yichen were clearly not lovers, yet she had been so eager to sleep with him just now.

She seemed to truly want a child.

But the reason was definitely not the one she’d given earlier.

What was she hiding?

Xi Peijue glanced down at the coat discarded beside her. It seemed to still linger with Jian Muyu’s unique scent. It

was light and delicate, perhaps unnoticeable at first.

But with time, you’d notice it was everywhere.

…

On the way back,

Jian Muyu repeated Xi Peijue’s words to Pei Yichen.

“Did he really agree?” Pei Yichen’s tone was tinged with surprise.

“Yeah,” Jian Muyu nodded.

“I thought we’d have to wait a little longer, but he couldn’t resist so quickly,” Pei Yichen murmured.

“What did you say?” Jian Muyu didn’t quite catch it.

“I’m saying, you’d better be careful. Xi Peijue is very clever. He took the bait before you even made a move. I’m afraid it’s a scam,” Pei Yichen warned.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a trick or not, as long as he’s willing to give his seed!” Jian Muyu really didn’t want to delve into the details.

“Actually, I kept you here on purpose today.” Pei Yichen was silent for a moment, then finally decided to tell Jian Muyu the truth.

“On purpose?” Jian Muyu didn’t quite understand what Pei Yichen meant.

“I knew Liu Yinyin’s father would come to see me today, so I kept you here on purpose and even sent someone to inform Xi Peijue.” Pei Yichen made his words more blunt.

“Why did you do that?” Jian Muyu’s expression was full of confusion.

“I originally wanted to use Liu Yinyin to determine Xi Peijue’s true feelings for you.”

“Then I could plan my next move and let you seize the opportunity to approach Xi Peijue.”

“But who knew that Xi Peijue had already taken the initiative to approach you before I even started.”

“So I think there might be something fishy going on,” Pei Yichen explained.

“He probably wanted to humiliate me this way.” Jian Muyu’s expression flickered, and he tried hard not to think otherwise.

Seeing Jian Muyu’s self-deception, Pei Yichen offered no further advice, merely a word of caution.

“In any case, be careful with Xi Peijue in the future. Although you registered Xiaozhan and Tiantian under my name, Xi Peijue is no ordinary person.”

“If he becomes aware of their presence, it could lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll complete the plan as soon as possible and take Xiaozhan, Tiantian, and the others away.” Jian Muyu nodded.

Even as a lawyer, facing overwhelming capital, she still felt a sense of powerlessness.

…

Ever since that day’s conversation with Xi Peijue, Jian Muyu’s heart had been in suspense.

To her surprise, Xi Peijue hadn’t contacted her since that day.

He hadn’t appeared in front of her since then.

Jian Muyu couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

Could it be… that everything he said and did that day was just a lie?

If so, what would happen to Xiaozhan?

“Mommy, I’m ready.” Just as Jian Muyu’s thoughts drifted away, a sweet voice brought her back to her senses.

“Huh? Are you all set?” Jian Muyu quickly suppressed the emotion on her face and asked softly.

“Yeah.” Jian Tiantian nodded.

This was the off-campus practical activity she had been looking forward to for so long.

Finally, she could escape the prison of school!

She couldn’t wait to get going.

“Can’t I really go?!” Xi Xiaoyan looked at Jian Muyu and Jian Tiantian with a melancholy expression.

“I really can’t go.” Jian Tiantian answered crisply.

“Why?!” Xi Xiaoyan protested.

“Why else? Why do you say?” Jian Tiantian gestured at the hospital gown Xi Xiaoyan was wearing.

Xi Xiaoyan: “…”

Xi Xiaoyan was instantly at a loss for words.

She had thought that after escaping from her uncle’s demonic uncle,

the future would be easier.

But now, she was bound by a hospital gown again.

Is he destined to be trapped for the rest of his life?

Xi Xiaoyan looked up at the sky with a melancholic angle of 45 degrees.

“Okay, don’t be too sad. I’ll take your share too.” Jian Tiantian stepped forward and patted Xi Xiaoyan’s shoulder.

Xi Xiaoyan: “…”

Xi Xiaoyan said that he was not comforted at all.

And he was getting more and more sad!

“It’s okay. When you’re well, you can go with Tiantian next time.” Looking at the sad Xi Xiaoyan, Jian Muyu said soothingly.

Xi Xiaoyan opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was well.

But if he said it, the goddess would know that he was not the “Xiao Zhan”, and he would not be able to stay with her anymore.

So, Xi Xiaoyan swallowed the words on his lips.

“Be good and stay in the hospital. I’ve already told your uncle Yichen that he will come to keep you company for the next two days. We will be back soon.” Jian

Muyu didn’t notice Xi Xiaoyan’s abnormality and just lowered his head to place a kiss on his forehead.

With just this one kiss, Xi Xiaoyan instantly felt like he was resurrected with full energy.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you guys to come back!”

“Let’s go, Mommy!” Jian Tiantian had already put on her small schoolbag.

The two of them left immediately, and Xi Xiaoyan could only watch them disappear at the door reluctantly.

He himself lay sprawled on the hospital bed, feeling that beauty can lead to deception.

At the same time,

Orange Garden also welcomed two guests of relatively special status.
