After The Divorce, My Dad Was Abused and Cried - Chapter 28

“Huh? You scared Jian Muyu like this?” Duan Qianhao perked up instantly.

Silence immediately fell on the other end of the line.

But Duan Qianhao could clearly sense the chilling atmosphere emanating from the other end.

Even so, it couldn’t stop him from enjoying the show.

“Mr. Xi, I never thought you’d end up like this.”

“I think you’d better stop harboring any illusions about your ex-wife. A woman is so scared of you.”

“Either you hurt her so badly in the past, and that’s why she’s afraid of you.”

“Or she hates you from the bottom of her heart and refuses to be around you.”

Xi Peijue’s expression only deepened after hearing Duan Qianhao’s words.

“Logically speaking, with your personality, you wouldn’t do anything awful to your wife.”

“Then that leaves only the latter possibility. Your ex-wife really, really hates you!” Duan Qianhao’s tone was clearly tinged with a hint of uncontrollable laughter,

even using the word “really” twice for emphasis.

Xi Peijue: “…”

Xi Peijue hung up the phone without hesitation.

He felt that the worst thing he had done today was calling Duan Qianhao!

Hate him?!

Huh.

Hate him, yet still be able to make love to him?

Hate him, yet still be able to call his name in bed with red eyes and shy face?

Hate him, yet still want to have a child with him?!

Xi Peijue tried his best to find some details from their past interactions to refute Duan Qianhao’s words. He

simply refused to believe that Jian Muyu hated him!

…

Jian Muyu, on the other hand, looked dejected.

She had barely slept the previous night.

Today she felt a little groggy. She had been dazed

for most of the practical activities with Jian Tiantian.

Fortunately, Jian Tiantian was a bit of a nerd, but also a bit calm.

Even with a new acquaintance, they could still get along very well.

So, they weren’t affected at all by Jian Muyu’s absent-mindedness.

They were having a blast!

“…”

After the practical activity, Jian Muyu told Pei Yichen about her encounter with Xi Peijue. She

also focused on her own situation.

“You’re still reacting like that?” Pei Yichen’s eyes flickered with worry.

“Yeah,” Jian Muyu nodded.

Then, with a hint of fatigue, he pinched his brows.

“I haven’t slept at all these past two days.”

“But George’s out of the country, so I can’t send you for treatment right now.” Pei Yichen frowned.

“It’s not that serious. Maybe it’ll be over in a couple of days,” Jian Muyu said, deliberately playing it off.

“Don’t take this lightly. Have you forgotten what happened back then?” Pei Yichen wasn’t as sanguine as she thought.

When he first met Jian Muyu, she was in a terrible state. She

could hardly sleep at night. She

was haggard, like a walking corpse.

It was only after he introduced her to a psychologist that

Jian Muyu’s condition gradually improved.

This process lasted for two full years.

Jian Muyu’s condition had improved significantly over the past few years,

and she no longer needed regular checkups.

Unexpectedly, something like this would happen again.

“Why don’t you give up on Professor Qiao’s treatment plan?” Pei Yichen said suddenly after a moment’s silence.

He couldn’t let Jian Muyu take any more risks.

“No!” Jian Muyu denied without a second thought.

“But your body can’t handle Xi Peijue right now. If you push yourself like that, it’s very likely to backfire.”

“Not only will you fail to save Xiao Zhan, you might even lose yourself!” Pei Yichen’s tone was serious.

“It’s okay. Give me some time, and I can get over it,” Jian Muyu said slowly.

“How are you going to get over it? Can you forget that child?!” Pei Yichen hit the nail on the head.

Jian Muyu’s body froze instantly, and a deep sense of pain welled up in her eyes.

When she first arrived in Country M, she couldn’t let go of her deceased child,

and she had serious mental problems.

If Xiaoyan and Tiantian were still supporting her, she probably wouldn’t have made it.

“You can’t forget! As long as you can’t forget that child, you can’t accept Xi Peijue!”

“It’s all my fault. I was careless. I thought you’d recovered after all these years.”

“Who knew you still haven’t let it go?”

“Let’s end this opportunity right here. Don’t get close to Xi Peijue again!” Pei Yichen said firmly.

“George told me before that escape isn’t the solution.”

“Maybe escape can temporarily alleviate your pain, but the symptoms will always be there and can relapse at any time,” Jian Muyu tried to persuade Pei Yichen.

“I don’t care about escaping or not. As long as I’m living well, isn’t that enough?” Pei Yichen didn’t believe that.

“What about Xiaozhan?” Jian Muyu asked again.

“Don’t worry. I’ve asked someone to look for him. We should be able to find a bone marrow match for Xiaozhan soon.” Pei Yichen frowned.

“But we’ve waited all these years and he still hasn’t gotten it. Xiaozhan doesn’t have much time left to wait any longer,” Jian Muyu said hoarsely.

Pei Yichen: “…”

“There will always be other ways!” Pei Yichen stroked his hair irritably.

“Yichen, don’t worry about me, I know my limits.” Jian Muyu knew that Pei Yichen was worried about her, and soothed him softly.

“You see, I couldn’t accept it that night, so I ran away, didn’t I?”

“I will proceed step by step, and I also want to face the fear in my heart.” Jian Muyu said firmly.

Looking at Jian Muyu who was so persistent, Pei Yichen knew that he could not persuade her.

Jian Muyu usually looked like she was easy to talk to.

But in fact, she was very stubborn.

As long as it was something she decided on her own, no one could change it.

What’s more, this matter is related to Xiao Zhan’s safety.

It is even more impossible for her to give up.

“Then you must not push yourself too much. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately!” Pei Yichen said solemnly.

“I know, you see, I told you as soon as I came back.” Jian Muyu smiled lightly.

“Or I should find a psychotherapist for you in China.” Pei Yichen was still a little worried.

“Okay.” Although Jian Muyu felt that there was no need, he agreed to it in order to reassure Pei Yichen.

“By the way, the internal law firm has officially opened now. Do you want to take the case now?” Pei Yichen suddenly remembered this.
