Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling became excited, clapped her hands, and said to the waiter, “Give us another two glasses.”

Pei Ziheng stopped her. “Xiao Ling.”

She laughed. “Why, can’t bear to drink with me? If you are impatient, you can go home first and I can drink by myself.” She gazed at the night sky outside and looked a little lonely. “In the past, Li... He would drink with me.” Her voice gradually trailed away as if she were a little drunk. “Now, I can’t even find someone to drink with me.” She mumbled.

Pei Ziheng was not easily provoked, but seeing that the girl he loved so much was currently comparing him with his love rival, any man would feel the blood flowing to his head. Besides, they had already drunk two glasses of strong alcohol. He asked the waiter to come over to ask for a third drink so that he could drink with her.

Xia Ling’s alcohol tolerance was not very good, so luckily, everything she drank was mostly syrup, so she did not feel tipsy. However, to fool Pei Ziheng, she acted like she was weak with alcohol. She said that she could hold her alcohol and ordered her fourth glass, fifth glass... Although she never had acting lessons, she was very good at calling for more drinks. In between laughs, she smiled at Pei Ziheng lovingly. Before the wine made her drunk, she was already drunk.

At the start, Pei Ziheng still wanted to stay a little sober.

Unconsciously, he drank more with her. Her dream-like voice rang near his ear. “If I’m drunk, can I forget my troubles and go back to the past with you..”

Go back to the past, before all the damage was done...

The effect of the Deep Sea Scarlet Flames was showing, and the drunk Pei Ziheng collapsed on the small glass table.

Only then did Xia Ling slowly put down her glass.

The drunkenness in her eyes faded, and she regained her composure. Her eyes were as bright as a star, and she clearly saw a few men beside the table discussing something.

Feng Kun finally walked over. “Xiao Ling?”

Xia Ling lifted her head to look at her old friend before relaxing a little. “Ah Kun, long time no see.”

“Long time no see.” Feng Kun looked deeply at her. “Xiao Ling, are you ok? I heard that you were involved in an accident some time ago. I was really worried. I also heard that you were saved by Pei Ziheng? Have you gone back to his side?”

The last time the two of them met, Xia Ling had just left Skyart Entertainment. Now, there was a sudden change in the situation.

“It’s a long story.” Xia Ling explained what happened to Feng Kun, and he sighed. Although the world changed and things were impermanent, at the end of the day, she was still chained beside Pei Ziheng.

Xia Ling said, “Thank you. Luckily you helped me make him drunk.”

“You’re the one who is smart.” Feng Kun smiled. “Tricking Pei Ziheng is not easy.”

After hearing him say that, Xia Ling also smiled. “How did you know that you had to serve me syrup and serve him strong alcohol?”

Feng Kun said, “Although I’m a worker at Imperial Entertainment, I don’t discuss any private affairs with Pei Ziheng. He never comes to my bar to drink, so he must’ve come tonight because you requested him to bring you here. You never liked to drink, but you specially brought him here and even gave me a pleading look when you entered the bar. Xiao Ling, I guessed that you were in trouble.”

Xia Ling nodded.

Feng Kun continued, “You insisted that he drink strong drinks with you and probably wanted him to get drunk. If that was really the case, you probably had some plans and would not want to get drunk. Thus, I replaced the spirit with a soft drink that contained low traces of alcohol and added an anti-alcoholic drug.”

Anti-alcoholic drug?

Before Xia Ling thought of something to say, suddenly, she felt that her lower abdomen was a little uncomfortable. She instinctively rubbed it using her hand, but her expression became tense. “Ah Kun, will the anti-alcoholic drug affect my fetus?”

“You mean, your fetus?” Feng Kun was intrigued. “Are you pregnant?”

Xia Ling nodded. “That’s why I came to look for you today. I’m pregnant with Li Lei’s child. However, I have to remain by Pei Ziheng. I’m sure you know Pei Ziheng would never allow me to keep this child.” She lifted her head to look at him. “The anti-alcoholic drug won’t affect my child, right? I... I don’t know anything.”

Her helpless yet worried expression made Feng Kun heartbroken.

Some time ago, he wanted to visit her in the hospital but was stopped by Pei Ziheng and Chu Chen. He guessed that the situation was dire, but he did not expect it to be more serious than he thought. “I only put a small amount of the anti-alcoholic drug inside, so I don’t think there will be a problem.” He briefly comforted her before asking, “Does Pei Ziheng know that you’re pregnant?”

“He doesn’t know.” Xia Ling said and bit her lip. “I... I have to get him drunk and let him think that I spent the night with him. This way, he will think that the child is his.” She felt that she was very despicable because it was actually Li Lei’s child, but she had to find a way to get Pei Ziheng to acknowledge it. However, she had no better way out. It did not matter if she were despicable or shameless, as a mother, she had to turn her weakness into a strength. No matter what, her child’s life was her priority.

Feng Kun drew a breath. “If Pei Ziheng finds out about the truth, he will kill you.” This idea was too brazen. If it succeeded, nothing would happen, but once it failed, no man could endure this sort of humiliation.

“Even if I die, I have to protect this child.” Xia Ling said firmly.

“Why don’t you just run away directly? Return to Li Lei’s side.” Feng Kun said. “I can help you.”

“No one can help me.” Xia Ling was very sad. “Ah Kun, I can only stay by Pei Ziheng’s side. As for the reason, you don’t have to ask. If you want to help me, just help me bribe a hospital. I need a fake medical record.”

“Fake medical record?”

“The date of pregnancy is not right.” This concerned Li Lei’s child. Thus, she pondered the situation very carefully. “The child is already about a month old. Even if I ‘sleep’ with Pei Ziheng today, it will take a month before I can tell him that I’m pregnant. When that comes, the child will be about two months old. If we go to the hospital for a check, he will be able to calculate the dates and my lie will be exposed. I need a fake medical record so that it matches with the day I ‘slept’ with him.”

Feng Kun’s expression was heavy. “You do know that Pei Ziheng frequents a certain hospital, and he is very familiar with the head of Compassionate Peace Hospital.” Compassionate Peace Hospital was the largest enterprising hospital in the S city. Its medical facilities were very advanced, and many of them were donated by generations of the Pei family. Thus, the hospital did its best for Pei Ziheng. This time, when Xia Ling was met with an accident, she also had surgery and recuperated in Compassionate Peace Hospital.

Xia Ling knew about this more clearly than Feng Kun. Not only did the Pei family frequent this hospital, but even family doctors were also very problematic. However, no matter how tricky the problem was, she had no choice but to solve it to ensure her child’s safety. Some things had to be done. “Ah Kun, quickly help me check who is the best gynecologist in this city. It can’t be so coincidental that he or she is from Compassionate Peace Hospital, right? Is there any other hospital that has a gynecologist that is better than Compassionate Peace Hospital’s? Even one that is on par with Compassionate Peace Hospital’s is fine. I will strongly request for Pei Ziheng to change the hospital. If the hospital is good, he may accommodate me.”
