Chapter 1409 - I Only Want You (2/2)
“Yes.”
Pei Yi returned to the bathroom to freshen up before exiting again. He picked up his mobile phone to see that she had sent him a text message.
It read: “Don’t belittle me. I have strong survival instincts and abilities. I’m not silly, I know what I’m doing. However, I can’t just do nothing and rely on you for life. I’ll do whatever it takes to come back in one piece. Take good care of Pei Ling. If I find out that you had mistreated my son when I get back, I definitely won’t let you off. Last but not least, I’ll miss you.”
She’s making me sound like a stepfather. She’s not going to let me off if I mistreat her son? He’s my biological son too!
However, he could not help but break into smiles the moment he read the last sentence of her sentence, after which he quickly replied to her.
“If you don’t come back in one piece, I’ll marry another woman and make another woman my wife. I’ll let our son address another woman as his mother and forget you forever. If you don’t make it back alive, I’ll never miss you again and I’ll erase you from my memory.”
Soon, she replied: “How can I bear to let my handsome hubby sleep with another woman? How can I let my dashing son call another woman his mother? Perhaps I would be happy to let you forget me completely if I didn’t know the truth of my son. However, I’m dead against that idea now, because I can’t live without you.”
Pei Yi was on cloud nine.
Before he could even reply, she sent yet another text message. “I’m switching off my mobile phone now. There won’t be reception in the forest.”
After replying with a simple “Okay,” he continued to read her messages over and over again.
“I’ll miss you.”
“Because I can’t live without you.”
“I’ll miss you.”
“Because I can’t live without you.”

Jing Chu and Fat Lass brought one suitcase each.
They brought along some freeze-dried biscuits, bread, other non-perishables, as well as lots of bottled mineral water.
On top of that, Pei Yi had also prepared some daggers, ropes, guns, and lots of ammunition for her.
Jing Chu and Fat Lass only brought a set of clothes and shoes each. Jing Chu decided to bring as few clothes as possible to ease their burden. Besides, they were not here for a vacation anyway.
She had also brought some compressed tarpaulin, which they could use during rainy weather. Since all the items were compressed, they did not take up too much space.
The other belongings in her suitcase included mandatory items such as compasses, lighters, and first-aid kits.
She decided to be careful and stay vigilant.
Although Pei Yi was just making an analogy, she wanted to find out if life was really scarce on that patch of land. Hence, she decided to bring along different types of seeds and try planting them.
Pei Yi was the only person who knew about their presence in the forest.
There were barely any residences nearby the forest; hence, humans were scarce.
No one dared to enter the forest, and it had been that way for several years.
This gave Jing Chu a chance.
She and Fat Lass went through painstaking means to get through the large iron door. However, that was only the first step of their quest.
Jing Chu put the map away, and they began treading along the narrow path with their luggages.
The weather was exceptionally warm in August.
The two of them began sweating a short while later.
After walking for a brief period of time, they discovered that there was nowhere they could go to.
