Chapter 58 - They Are Enemies Who Are, Now, at a Truce (1/2)

Lu Man felt like she had made a big mistake when Pei Zichen stared at her like that. She should never have done what she did!

“I’m sorry, Xiao Chen…” Her appearance had caused him a lot of pain and grief.

“Can you leave my dad? If you want money, I can give you all of the money I own. Don’t take my mother’s place. My dad loves my mother deeply. I love my mother too…” Pei Zichen grabbed her arm and pleaded with her.

Lu Man felt like she was indeed a third wheel in his family. How he looked at her made her feel like she was the one who was ruining their family’s happiness!

She had almost nodded her head and promised him to leave.

But, soon she remembered that she could not leave because his mother would never come back to him.

“Xiao Chen, what about this?”

“What?”

“You’re still searching for your mother, aren’t you? You don’t know when you’re gonna find her, right?”

“Yes, but I might even find her tomorrow!” He almost could guess at what she was going to say.

“Impossible!”

“How would you know?” Pei Zichen was annoyed. Why was she so certain about that?

“What I’m thinking is that you’ve been searching for her a long time and still you can’t find her. She might not even be living in our country. She might be living overseas. It’s not easy if you want to find somebody overseas. It’s impossible that you can find her tomorrow.”

Pei Zichen thought for a while. “Yes, you’re right.”

“You don’t know when you can find her. If you get rid of me before you find her, your father might marry someone else. Then, you need to get rid of another woman. Why don’t you make an agreement with me?”

“What kind of agreement?” Pei Zichen asked her cautiously. He was afraid that he might fall into her trap.

“Let’s not be enemies for now before your mother comes back. We can be at peace with each other.” She did not want to be his enemy. She did not want to force him to think about all kinds of tricks to get rid of her.

“Will you leave when my mother is back?” Pei Zichen asked eagerly. At the same time, he felt like her idea was indeed a good one. Now, he had no clue where his mother was. He was unsure when he could find her. It was indeed difficult to get rid of every woman who came along the way. Why not work together with her for now? She seemed like a nice person. It was not difficult to be her accomplice. It was much better than getting rid of her so instead, he would gain a strong villain’s support!

“Yes.” Lu Man was guilty. She knew very well that his mother would never come back to him but still she made that kind of agreement with him. However, she could not bring herself to tell him the truth either.

He was still too young to accept the truth. What if he could not accept the truth?

He would know once he got older.

Pei Zichen was delighted. Then, he asked her, “How can I trust you?”

“I’m an honest and noble person. Don’t worry.”

“You had clung onto my uncle relentlessly. How dare you say that you’re a noble person!” Pei Zichen sneered.

“Who told you that?”

“My aunt!”

“Do you believe what she said?”

“She’s my aunt. Surely, I believe what she has said. Moreover, she did not have to lie to me!” Pei Zichen trusted his aunt very much.

“Then, tell me, who is more handsome? Your father or your uncle?”

“Of course my father is more handsome!” Pei Zichen replied without any hesitation.

“Who is better? Your father or your uncle?”

“Of course my father is better! He’s the best in the whole universe!”
