Chapter 1413 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Jing Chu nodded and said, “I’ll go take a shower first. Hurry and prepare the items that I need. You don’t need to give me any electronic devices. There are no power circuits there. I won’t be able to use them.”

“Got it. You can just use battery-powered equipment instead. I’ll see to it.”

Pei Yi pursed his lips and watched her walk toward the bedroom. He smiled, feeling rather relieved to see that she was safe.

He quickly instructed his bodyguards to prepare the items that she needed.

He then tiptoed toward the bathroom to hear that there were sounds of water flowing coming from inside. He grabbed the handle of the door, only to discover that it was locked.

Pei Yi had no choice but to knock on the door. “Open up, I need to take a shower.”

“You can do so when I’m done.”

“No, I want to shower with you.”

Jing Chu ignored him. He then unlocked the door with the spare key.

She was in the midst of shampooing her hair while standing naked under the showerhead. Pei Yi strode in brazenly and said with a grin, “Did you think that I won’t have a solution just because you won’t open up?”

Jing Chu answered, “Well, it’s your house. No one can stop you from going anywhere as long as you want to.”

He began undressing himself, after which he stepped forward to hug her. Pei Yi could not help but fondle her affectionately.

Jing Chu looked up at him and said, “I’m afraid it’ll be a long time before I can come back again this time. After all, it’s not that easy to construct a house. You must give me a blueprint that I can follow. It’s alright, I’ll get it constructed in the end. It’ll be our place of refuge in the future. I finally feel safer. Besides, the lake there is really clear and the air is fresh, apart from the periodical waves of miasma. I really like it there.”

“As long as you’re safe and sound, we can stay there forever. You can change it into your ideal home too.”

Jing Chu nodded and said, “Good that you agree.”

“I’m here to see Nainai,” Yao Lan said to the guards at the door.

“Come in.”

Yao Lan entered together with the bodyguards. She was now allowed to see her daughter once a month, which was much better than not being able to see her at all.

Whenever she returned to the place that once used to be her home, she would be filled with displeasure and disgruntlement. She used to be the mistress of this house, but she had now been replaced.

She felt annoyed that she had to be restricted to meeting her daughter only once a month.

To make things worse, her daughter was addressing another woman as her mother.

She could not help but feel miserable at the thought of it.

She felt as if a million daggers had pierced through her heart upon the sight of her daughter walking on an unsteady gait in her walker with Su Yan and Qiao An teasing her.

Although Su Yan did like children before their divorce, he had never spent so much time looking after Su Nainai together with her before. He would either bring Su Nainai out alone for a while or play with her for a few seconds before leaving.

Noticing that Yao Lan was walking toward them, Qiao An stood up straight and said a few words to Su Yan softly before returning to the living room.

Yao Lan stepped forward and carried Su Nainai out of the walker. However, Su Nainai felt distant from her and refused to let Yao Lan carry her. Filled with disappointment, Yao Lan said, “Nainai, I’m Mommy.”

Su Yan watched her carry Su Nainai quietly with his hands in his pocket.

Yao Lan shifted her gaze onto him and asked, “Can you answer a question of mine?”
