Chapter 384: A Hasty Night

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After living with Pei Ziheng for more than ten years, she was very clear that if she specially insisted on something, as long as she did not exceed his bottom line, she would most likely succeed. Would choosing the hospital to give birth to his child exceed his bottom line? Xia Ling did not know, but she had to try anyway.

Feng Kun told Xia Ling to wait as he made a phone call to a friend on the spot. His friend’s wife gave birth to a child last year, and he told him about a few obstetrics and gynecology departments in the city. The best one was from Huaxin Mother and Child Specialist Hospital.

“I will help you contact the specialists at Huaxin Mother and Child Specialist Hospital and bribe the best doctors there. After this is settled, I will think of a way to tell you the name of the doctor.” Feng Kun said to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was grateful. “Thankfully, I still have you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do.” After finding out that she was pregnant, she had been in a state of anxiety. If the child were killed before it was born, the feeling would be too painful. Now, after hearing Feng Kun’s words, she felt reassured.

Feng Kun also comforted her a little.

Once the plan was settled, both of them discussed how to move Pei Ziheng home.

“Are you planning to just throw him on the bed and tell him that you had a tryst last night with him when he woke up the next day?” Feng Kun suddenly asked her after looking at drunk Pei Ziheng.

Startled, Xia Ling questioned. “Yes. What’s wrong?”

Feng Kun shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Oh, you. Wait for me.”

After that, he left hurriedly.

Not long after, he brought back a person wearing a security officer’s uniform. The person was silent and covered himself with a hat. At the start, Xia Ling thought that the person was an ordinary security officer, but when the person reached out to support Pei Ziheng, he revealed a small and abnormally white wrist. Only then did Xia Ling re-evaluate her thoughts and realized that it was a woman. She had smoky makeup, and although she was dressed in a serious manner, she smelled like a prostitute.

“Time is limited, so I could only find someone like that.” Feng Kun explained to her. “Rao Rao works in the opposite nightclub and is very open and willing to spend the night with him. Don’t worry. Rao Rao knows the rules well and will just do the job after she has been paid. After that, she will never speak about it again.”

Job?

Xia Ling finally understood that it was to make it more convincing that Pei Ziheng slept with her by getting Rao Rao to actually sleep with him. She could not help but feel a little awkward. Feng Kun shook his head and smiled bitterly. They were all adults and knew the difference between actually sleeping and having sex. If they really did it, there would be a few marks left on the bed; a simple sleeping together could not fool anyone.

Especially since they had to fool the shrewd Pei Ziheng.

Xia Ling was negligent, or to put it another way, she was deliberately reluctant to think about these details.

She groaned and thanked Feng Kun.

Rao Rao grinned. “Miss, you can rest assured. I will ensure that the job is done well, leave the city tomorrow, and never appear again.” Money talks. To help Xia Ling, Feng Kun used a large amount of money to get Rao Rao’s help which was far higher than the usual reward level of a nightclub girl. That was because he had an additional request. Once this situation was over, she had to leave the city forever.

Only then would Xiao Ling’s secret be safe.

Xia Ling looked at Feng Kun with gratitude.

Feng Kun asked Rao Rao to carry the drunken Pei Ziheng out of the bar and walked to Pei Ziheng’s Rolls-Royce with Xia Ling. The chauffeur helped them open the door and asked Xia Ling, “Miss Ye, what happened to Mister?”

“He’s drunk. It’s not a big deal.” Xia Ling said, “Feng Kun and the security officer will help us.”

The chauffeur was an old man who had followed Pei Ziheng for many years, so he recognized Feng Kun. Rao Rao deliberately avoided the driver’s sight, so she also looked like an unsuspecting security officer. Thus, after hearing what Xia Ling said, the chauffeur had no doubts. He let them enter the car and drove all of them back to the mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion, they used the same method to trick Nanny Zhou to enter the bedroom.

They worked together to place Pei Ziheng on the bed.

After that, Xia Ling left Rao Rao in the bedroom and went to the terrace with Feng Kun.

The spacious terrace was quiet, and the night sky was clear like water. As they were afraid of being found out, they did not turn the lights on and whispered as they stood in the shadows of the moonlight.

“You’ve changed.” Feng Kun said.

“In what way?” Xia Ling was concerned about the things that were happening in the bedroom and was somewhat absent-minded.

Feng Kun glanced at her. “You’ve become stronger than before. Now, you can bear hardship and make decisions.” In the past, she would throw a tantrum when she was faced with difficulties and relied on others to solve her problems for her. However, now, she learned to think for herself and used her own ideas to solve her own problems. Once she made a decision, she acted quickly and did not beat about the bush.

Feng Kun did not know whether this change was good or bad.

Xia Ling smiled bitterly. “In the past, I had someone to rely on. Now, I realized that I can only depend on myself in certain situations.” Her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen. It was still flat, but she knew that a precious little life was being nurtured. “For it, I have to be stronger. It can only rely on me.”

Its father was at the other end of the world and did not even know about its existence.

Now, she can only protect it well. She grew up in a flash because she was pregnant.

Feng Kun sighed. Initially, she also behaved like a child and did not understand the complex rules of the adult world, recognize the hardships in the world, or think hard to outsmart someone. However, for the sake of her child, she had to deal with the world’s coldest and smartest man. A wrong move would cause her to be doomed beyond redemption.

Feng Kun thought about her entire plan again.

“Don’t take action for now and wait for my signal.” He said. “You have to wait until I settle the situation with the hospital before you tell him that you’re pregnant. I will think of a way for you to contact Li Lei so that he can rescue you as soon as possible.”

“Don’t contact him.” Xia Ling said.

“Why?” Feng Kun did not understand.

“I’ve already told Sister Mai Na to contact him,” she said. “If Li Lei can find a way, he will come to rescue me. If there’s no way out... then you don’t have to tell him that I’m pregnant.”

“If he can’t save you, are you planning to remain by Pei Ziheng’s side forever?”

“What else can I do?” Xia Ling lifted her head to look at the misty moonlight, her tone as hazy as the moonlight. “If I can’t go back, I would rather completely eliminate my thoughts about him, so you don’t even need to tell him about the child. This way, he can live safely for the rest of his life, marry someone... and forget about me.”

She could not continue speaking and lowered her head.

Feng Kun’s heart faintly ached, but he understood that it was the best decision considering her situation now. If she really could not go back, she did not have to face any other unexpected setbacks. Otherwise, the identity of the child raised under Pei Ziheng’s name would be exposed. Furthermore, when faced with Pei Ziheng, she and the child could not protect themselves.
