Chapter 1405 - I Only Want You (2/2)

He had already prepared the coffin and tombstone long ago.

The weather was warm, and the wake had to be held for three days before the burial ceremony can commence.

Hence, Mrs. Pei’s corpse was placed inside the crystal coffin that Pei Yi had prepared.

Pei Yi stayed awake for the first night of the wake, followed by Tian Tian on the second night. Lastly, it was Jing Chu’s turn on the last night. However, Tian Tian had also turned up on the last night.

“It’s not your turn tonight, what are you here for?”

“I was Godma’s favorite when she was still alive. Why can’t I come?” Tian Tian knelt on the praying mat and glanced at Jing Chu in disdain. “Godma didn’t even mention your name during her last few moments. She doesn’t even like you at all and yet you still have the cheek to be so thick-skinned and call yourself her daughter-in-law. Are you even fit enough?”

“It’s not up to you to decide if I’m fit enough or not. If you’re that deserving, why did Master Pei get rid of you? I really wonder who the thick-skinned one is. I’m Mrs. Pei now, you’re not,” Jing Chu retorted.

Tian Tian scoffed and sneered, “You’re acting as if I haven’t been Mrs. Pei before. Don’t think so highly of that position. You’re not going to be in it for long anyway. You may be Mrs. Pei now, but Pei Ling is still my son. Even if he calls you his mother from now on, I’m still the one who gave birth to him.”

Jing Chu smiled and stayed silent.

Thinking that she had successfully managed to shut Jing Chu up, Tian Tian beamed with joy and began playing with her mobile phone.

Tian Tian no longer had an excuse to turn up at Mount Qingping after the funeral was over.

A bold idea popped up in Jing Chu’s mind. While Pei Ling was asleep, she sat opposite Pei Yi’s desk and said, “Let me ask you a question. Don’t think I’m jinxing you, though.”

“What is it?”

“Will we be attacked one day?”

Pei Yi looked up and answered, “I can’t be certain. Things have begun to get chaotic again. Several nations have also started working together against DK. The situation is tricky.”

Jing Chu’s heart scrunched up in shock.

The first thing that came to her mind was that she had to come up with a strategy to ward against the possible attack.

After some thought, she asked, “Are there forests in R Nation where reception is non-existent?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Let’s build a house there. When things get blown out of control, we shall seek refuge in the house we built.”

“…”

Pei Yi found her mindset to be ignorant yet adorable. “Where do you think we can run? Others will be able to find us there too. There are only two things that will happen to traitors who betray DK.”

“I know that one is death, for sure. What’s the other one?”

“One may leave after earning the approval of the chieftain, but on the condition that he accomplish a task that would benefit the organization greatly. To me, neither of the two is a feasible option because I know too many secrets of the DK Organization. Although I don’t know what my fate would be in the end, I can only continue working for them.”

Jing Chu’s heart sank to the bottom after hearing his words.

Shaking her head, she said eagerly, “No, there must be another way out. There definitely is. I’ll come up with a solution for sure.”

Pei Yi smiled and said, “Don’t bother. There’s nothing you can come up with that I can’t think of.”

“That’s not certain. You’re not God. Give me a detailed map of R Nation.”
