After the divorce, my dad was abused and cried - Chapter 5

Jian Muyu’s heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He must not let Xi Peijue see her face!

Just when Xi Peijue was about to take off her mask, she suddenly raised her head and slammed her lips against his.

When that familiar softness came over him, Xi Peijue’s expression was dazed for a moment.

Then the next moment, his body suddenly went limp.

It was as if all the strength in his body was drained away in that instant.

Jian Muyu knew that it was the substance she added to the aromatherapy that took effect.

Then he pushed Xi Peijue away who was pressing on him.

He climbed down from the bed in a hurry.

“You dare… leave!” Xi Peijue tried hard to grab the figure in front of him.

But now, he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand.

“Mr. Xi, you are tired, you should… have a good rest.” Jian Muyu said and prepared to leave.

“Jian Muyu! You… stop right there!” Xi Peijue shouted with red eyes.

When Jian Muyu heard her name, she turned around and looked at Xi Peijue in disbelief.

He… really recognized her?

“You…” Xi Peijue wanted to say something, but Jian Muyu suddenly came to her senses. She

turned around and ran away without looking back.

Xi Peijue gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but her consciousness became more and more blurred.

In the end, she could only watch the figure disappear from her sight.

And she, unable to hold on any longer, closed her eyes…

Jian Muyu hurriedly got out of the hotel.

It looked like something terrible was chasing her.

After leaving the hotel, Jian Muyu saw Pei Yichen’s car waiting outside.

Without saying a word, she opened the car door and got in.

“Hurry, let’s go!” Jian Muyu urged.

“Huh? It’s over so soon? Your ex-husband seems to be in a bad condition.” Pei Yichen looked at Jian Muyu with sympathy.

“What do you mean ‘over’? I didn’t succeed. He recognized me!” Jian Muyu gritted her teeth.

“Huh? He recognized you even after you were in this state?” Pei Yichen glanced at the mask on Jian Muyu’s face.

“I don’t know how he recognized me, but tonight’s a failure. Let’s go back!” Jian Muyu took off the mask and urged again.

She was afraid that the medicine wouldn’t work on Xi Peijue, and it would be troublesome if he caught up with him again.

“Okay.” Hearing Jian Muyu’s words, Pei Yichen dared not delay any longer.

He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

…

The next morning.

When Xi Peijue woke up, he found himself lying in the same room as last night.

A dull pain came from his head.

He pushed himself up, and the memories of last night suddenly flooded back.

Then he opened his eyes and looked around.

The figure from last night was gone.

Jian Muyu!

You are really good!

You did such a thing back then, and you dare to come back now!

And you tricked him again!

You’d better not let me catch you, or I’ll kill you!

Xi Peijue gritted his teeth.

At that moment, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

Xi Peijue glanced at the caller ID.

It was Yu Xiu.

He answered the call immediately.

“President, where are you…now?” Yu Xiu asked this question with a bit of awkwardness.

The president hadn’t returned since last night’s appointment, and

he didn’t dare disturb him. He

hadn’t received a call from Xi Peijue until this morning, so he had to bite the bullet and call.

“I’m at the hotel yesterday. Bring me some clothes when you pick me up,” Xi Peijue said gravely.

“…Yes!” Yu Xiu’s eyes nearly popped out of his head when he heard this.

The president was still at the same love hotel yesterday?

And he even had to bring a new set of clothes?

So…did the president really spend the night with that lawyer, Mandy?

For the sake of custody of the young master, the president really even sold his body?

Hmm…

that’s a bit too much of a sacrifice!

Yu Xiu’s face was filled with complex emotions.

Half an hour later,

Yu Xiu appeared in front of Xi Peijue.

Xi Peijue had already showered and was changing.

Yu Xiu’s eyes discreetly surveyed the room.

The love hotel lived up to its reputation.

Even the bed was round.

And there were all sorts of props.

It seemed the CEO and lawyer Mandy had a heated conversation last night.

“Go get the hotel’s surveillance footage from last night. I want to know where she went!” Just as Yu Xiu’s thoughts drifted away, Xi Peijue suddenly spoke.

“…Huh?” Yu Xiu looked at Xi Peijue in surprise.

“Tell me as soon as you find her!” Xi Peijue’s eyes were dim.

Then, he would make sure she knew the consequences of betraying him!

“Yes!” However, Yu Xiu misunderstood Xi Peijue’s meaning.

Thinking that after a night of passion, his CEO had developed genuine feelings for lawyer Mandy.

Otherwise, why would he be looking for her?

Hmm…

Could it be that someone had taken the position of CEO’s wife, which had been vacant for so many years?

If that’s the case, it’s also good.

At least it means that the president has let go of those things that happened in the past.

Xi Peijue, who was so angry at Jian Muyu, didn’t notice Yu Xiu’s mood at all.

He turned around and strode out of the hotel.

“President, are we going to the company now?” Yu Xiu asked after getting in the car.

Xi Peijue was about to answer when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Xi Peijue frowned slightly.

After a while, he answered the phone.

“Peijue, it’s bad, Xiaoyan is missing!” As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Yinyin’s anxious voice came from the other side.

“What did you say? Didn’t he go to the hospital with you? How could he be gone?” Xi Peijue’s expression darkened, his eyes suddenly filled with a hint of sternness.

“We did come to the hospital, but I was talking to the doctor and wasn’t paying attention. When I came to my senses, he was gone.” Liu Yinyin’s tone sounded extremely anxious.

But in her heart, she was about to curse that little bastard to death.

He came out for a checkup, and he was causing her trouble!

“I’ll be right there!” Xi Peijue said, then hung up the phone and instructed Yu Xiu, who was sitting up front.

“Go to the hospital!”

“Yes!”

The car sped away.

After Xi Peijue arrived at the hospital, he immediately had it cordoned off and searched every floor.

…

In Jian Xiaozhan’s ward.

Jian Muyu looked haggard. After returning home last night, she had nightmares all night long.

As a result, she was in a state of depression today.

But the teacher still insisted that she come to school, saying that she needed to have a good talk with her about Jian Tiantian’s condition.

It goes without saying that she would be scolded again.

“Xiao Zhan, I’ll take Tiantian to school first. You stay in the ward and call the nurse if anything happens, okay?” Jian Muyu instructed.

“I know.” Jian Xiaozhan responded, but his eyes never left the books in front of him.

Jian Muyu shook her head. Her son was a bookworm. As long as he had books to read, he wouldn’t care about anything else.

Knowing that he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and had no time to care about his old mother, Jian Muyu felt a little lost and took Jian Tiantian away.

However, just as Jian Muyu was leaving the ward, another little figure quietly slipped in.
