Chapter 718: Discovering Pregnancy

Translator: Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations

Pei Jiao endured her anger and did not flare up. She tried her best to communicate with Ji He calmly. “I only have a few words to say to Wei Yu. After that, I promise I won’t contact him again.”

Ji He said with an attitude, “You can tell me now. I’ll pass it on to Young Master.”

Pei Jiao gritted her teeth. “Send the message to you? You hate me so much that you can’t wait for me to draw a line with your young master as soon as possible. Wouldn’t it be adding fuel to the fire?”

Ji He was dissatisfied. “Miss Pei, what kind of person do you take me for?” Pei Jiao said, “Someone who hates me.”

“That’s undeniable.” Ji He did not want to spend too much time on the phone with Pei Jiao. After all, Young Master had instructed him before, so he said,

“Up to you. If you’re worried that I’ll add oil, vinegar, and so on, just wait for Young Master to come back from the base and tell him yourself. If you’re relieved, tell me. I’ll pass the message on.”

Pei Jiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This situation was too difficult to guess. Previously, she could confirm that Wei Yu liked her very much, but now, she was not so sure. Now that Wei Yu did not answer her call, it was either because her engagement had made him see her clearly, so he wanted to return to the base after seeing her again. However, because he was chased away by Beiyang, he chose to return to the base directly.

Or Wei Yu was at Beiyangs place and could not leave. Pei Jiao hesitated for a few seconds and asked, “When is the next time he comes back from the base?”

Ji He brushed her off. “About a month.”

Pei Jiao asked patiently, “What’s the exact time?”

“I’m not sure about that. You’ve been with the young master for so long, don’t you know him well? He’s a workaholic. When he works, he doesn’t care about anyone. The longest time he stayed at the base was for more than half a year.”

Pei Jiao:

Half a year!

So long…

However, half a year was enough for her to forget him and completely remove him from her life. She would never contact him again.

“Alright, then I’ll talk to him personally when he comes out of the base.” With that, Pei Jiao hung up on Ji He.

In the following days, Pei Jiao’s life returned to normal. The marriage with the Qin family had been paused because of a kidnapping. Now that Pei Jiao had returned, the Qin family mentioned this matter again.

However, Pei Qingji rejected the Qin family on the grounds that his daughter had been frightened by the kidnapping and needed to recuperate. The Qin family understood and did not mention the engagement for the time being.

Day after day, more than half a month passed quickly. Pei Jiao had not called Wei Yu again for more than half a month, including Ji He, but she would secretly pay attention to when Wei Yu would return from the base.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

Wei Yu still had not returned from the base. Pei Jiao began to feel even more uneasy. She wanted to go to the base, but at the same time, she knew very well that even if she went to the base, she would not be able to enter.

Unless…

On this day, Pei Jiao still turned on her computer and spent a lot of effort to break through the base’s firewall. She controlled most of the base’s surveillance cameras, but she did not find Wei Yu.

Her ability was limited. After being discovered, she immediately erased the information and exited. Then, she tried again. In the end, the computer went black. Irritated, she tossed the computer away.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. She went to open it. It was Uncle Dong standing outside.

Pei Jiao asked, “What’s the matter, Uncle Dong?”

Uncle Dong said, “Miss, Mr. Qin and Mr. He are here. Mr. Qin said that he wants to invite you to ride a horse at the ranch. If you don’t want to go, I’ll reject them for you.”

“No need.” Pei Jiao was in a bad mood, so it was good for her to relax. “Tell them to wait for me for a few minutes. I’ll dress up.”

Uncle Dong nodded. “Okay.”

A few minutes later, when Pei Jiao came downstairs in a dress, she saw Qin Zhuoning standing downstairs. He was wearing a white satin shirt and his eyebrows were clear. The European-style background behind him made him look like he was in a painting.

Qin Zhuonings gaze never left Pei Jiao. When Pei Jiao approached, his eyes were filled with surprise, but he did not praise her directly. Instead, he asked worriedly, “Are you in a bad mood these last two days?”

Pei Jiao was indeed not smiling at all. She looked like she was in a bad mood. As she walked out, she said, “I haven’t been sleeping too well. I keep having nightmares at night.”

“A nightmare?” Qin Zhuoning kept pace with Pei Jiao. “What kind of nightmare?”

Pei Jiao shook her head. “I can’t describe it. In that strange world, I kept turning into a small animal. I flew and swam in the water. It was very strange. ”

Qin Zhuoning laughed. “Then how is this a nightmare?”

Pei Jiao stopped. “Because every time I wake up, there are tears in the corners of my eyes.” The smile on Qin Zhuonings lips faded. Pei Jiao changed the topic. “Where’s He Wang? Uncle Dong came up just now to say that you came with He Wang.”

Qin Zhuoning explained, “At first, we came together, but now he’s gone to the ranch first.’

“This person really doesn’t have any patience,” Pei Jiao said. “Then let’s go too.”

The afternoon sun slanted over the ranch. Coffee tables were arranged under umbrellas. Many people were already sitting there.

He Wang sat with a woman in a cheongsam. The woman in the cheongsam ignored him. He Wang was like a grandson, wishing he could take out his heart and coax her.

Pei Jiao’s eyes widened. “Is that He Wang? Then the one beside him is…”

Qin Zhuoning: “Xiang Wanning.”

Pei Jiao fell silent. She could not continue asking questions she should not ask.

She could just pretend not to know anything. Qin Zhuoning naturally held Pei Jiao’s hand. “Let’s go change into riding clothes.”

“Let’s go.” Pei Jiao retracted her hand calmly.

Qin Zhuoning glanced at her and walked forward in silence. “Follow me.”

There was a lot of entertainment in the ranch. Musical dramas, tea parties, shooting, and fencing. The people who came here to play were rich young masters and second-generation officials. They each had their own way of diversion and didn’t interfere with each other.

After changing into her riding clothes, Qin Zhuoning went to the stable and brought a horse over. “Jiaojiao, ride this horse.”

Pei Jiao had nothing to pick on the horse Qin Zhuoning had chosen for her. “I like the white one.’

Yes, a white horse.

“I knew you would like it. Come, I’ll help you get on the horse.” Qin Zhuoning reached out his gentlemanly hand. Pei Jiao had ridden a horse before and was very familiar with the process. She used the momentum to get on the horse.

The white horse took two steps. Pei Jiao was still not sitting firmly. Her upper body was raised and falling, but she could hold on.

Qin Zhuoning raised his head and asked her, “Are you going to ride around

first, or should I lead the horse around for you?”

“I can ride it myself. It’s not like I don’t know how to ride it. Don’t worry, I’m very bold.” Pei Jiao squeezed the horse’s belly. The horse slowly moved forward, bouncing.

Seeing that she was riding very steadily, Qin Zhuoning was relieved.

Pei Jiao’s riding skills were not bad. She rode steadily for three laps. Before Qin Zhuonings last lap arrived, she nimbly dismounted and handed the reins to the horse trainer to take back to the stable.

She went to change first. Along the way, her abdomen hurt slightly. She felt that something was wrong, so she went to the toilet first and realized that she was bleeding..
