Chapter 1373 - I Only Want You (1/2)

It had been a long time since Tian Tian last saw Pei Yi. He refused to answer her calls, and she could not find him in Mount Qingping either. She could not help but feel touched about him rendering her help this time. She said, “Pei Yi, you must help me settle this. I really don’t know what to do.”

“You actually need my help? You’re so invincible, why would you need my help?” Pei Yi asked coldly.

Tian Tian said coquettishly, “I’m not as invincible as you are. Help me settle it, I’ll compensate you in whatever way I have to.”

Pei Yi said, “We’ll talk after the surgery ends.”

The surgery lasted for an entire hour, and Jing Chu managed to pull herself out of danger. She was sent to the hospital ward.

However, she was still unconscious.

Not wanting to go to the hospital again, she took out a bank account card from her bag and said, “There are 100 thousand dollars in here. Help me hand it to her.”

Staring at the card in her hand, Pei Yi rebuked, “How do you have the cheek to offer such a meager amount of money? Why don’t you let her run you over with a car and compensate you with 100 thousand dollars?”

“It wasn’t entirely my fault. She was the one who ran across the road without looking.”

“The police will check the surveillance camera footage. You probably have to bear the full responsibility. Since you’ve decided to let me handle this, you have to show your sincerity. Give me one million dollars. That’ll cover the medical expenses too.”

“What? One million!?!”

“Isn’t that a reasonable amount? You wrecked her and yet you’re expecting to pay peanuts? If you’re not willing to fork out the money, then settle this yourself. I’m going to leave now.” As soon as he stood up, Tian Tian stopped him and handed him another bank account card. “There are 900 thousand dollars in here.”

Pei Yi took it from her and said, “You may leave now. I’ll help you settle it.”

Tian Tian nodded and exited with her bag. She could put her mind at ease with his help.

After closing the door, Pei Yi stared at the unconscious Jing Chu with a frown on his forehead.

He thought that she would return to the mansion right after leaving the nightclub. However, she actually loitered around outside.

How worrying.

….

Jing Chu woke up again at past five o’clock in the morning, only to find that she was aching from head to toe. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was greeted with the sight of Pei Yi sitting on the chair beside her bed with his eyes closed.

Jing Chu turned pale the instant she recalled the events that took place last night. She had gotten into an accident…

All she could remember was that it was a woman who had run her over with her car and helped her up. But how did I end up here?

No idea. He seems to be in so much peace while sleeping, however.

The dim lights shone on his face, allowing his beautiful features to be accentuated.

Jing Chu continued to gaze at him, all the way until he woke up at daybreak.

Pei Yi met her eyes as soon as he opened his. He questioned with a sullen expression, “Why did you wander around on your own instead of staying inside the mansion?”

“I was just going out to take a breather.”

“Why would you end up in the nightclub, then? If it weren’t because of me, you wouldn’t have been able to leave that room,” Pei Yi said in displeasure.

The private room incident had infuriated Jing Chu as well.

“If you’re not attracted to a hideous person like me, please don’t look at me ever again, Master Pei, lest your eyes get polluted.”

Sensing how upset and disgruntled she was, Pei Yi smiled and said, “You actually got upset because of that. Don’t take those words to heart, it was just an excuse that I gave them. I simply didn’t want them to know that you’re my woman.”

The anger within her vanished instantly. Jing Chu gazed at him and asked, “Did you only say those words to patronize them?”

“Of course. Why would I get intimate with you if I found you hideous?”

Blushing shyly and feeling much better, Jing Chu said, “That person who ran me over…”

“She happens to be someone I know. There’s 900 thousand dollars in this card. It’s the compensatory sum that she’s given you.”

Jing Chu’s eyes widened in shock and she asked, “Nine hundred thousand dollars? So much money?”
