The moment Lin Feiâer was touched by Li Peng, she felt electrified. She darted him an indifferent look and her voice had an unconcealed disgust.
âLet go.â
Li Pengâs heart ached terribly upon being stared at by Lin Feiâerâs cold and piercing eyes. He called out to her softly and his handsome face was full of pain.
âFeiâer, could you please listen to me? Ever since you left, Iâve missed you, I...â
Just when Li Peng and Lin Feiâer were still locked in disagreement, Yang Xiaobing, who was standing behind them, felt uncomfortable the more she listened.
Li Peng said the person he thought of was Lin Feiâer. Who was she, then? Who was her baby?
Jealousy was like a venomous snake tightly seizing Yang Xiaobingâs heart. She felt like she was going to explode but a voice in her mind kept telling her that she had to keep calm.
Li Peng was now inclined toward Lin Feiâer. She had to pretend to be considerate and could not lose all her final strength.
Yang Xiaobingâs brows raised. There was a light of surprise and guilt in her gentle eyes.
âSis Feiâer, youâre back? How are you? Brother Peng and I have missed you...â
While she spoke, she caressed her stomach, as if hinting something.
Yang Xiaobing knew that as soon as she stood out, she would be able to jar Lin Feiâer and this was what she wanted.
Lin Feiâer and Li Peng were divorced!
Lin Feiâer was a woman who could not bear a child, so what did Lin Feiâer have to fight with her, to occupy Brother Pengâs feelings?
Li Peng was only feeling guilty now. When he thought it through, he would know how good she was.
When Lin Feiâer saw the pitiful looking Yang Xiaobing, her heart ached. She flung Li Pengâs hand away.
âThatâs enough, Li Peng. The person looking for you is here. Stop pestering me.â
Creases appeared between Li Pengâs brows. He gaped and said, âFeiâer, thereâs nothing between Xiaobing and I. I just want to wait till she delivers this baby...â
As soon as he said this, people around the service counter looked at Li Peng and Lin Feiâer.
They had not expected to see this kind of emotional entanglement during their lunch on Sunday.
That pretty girl in red was pregnant and she was not the manâs wife!
Their eyes landed on Lin Feiâer and Yang Xiaobing, examining them and guessing their relationship with Li Peng.
Lin Feiâer hated being watched by people like a monkey. She looked indifferently at Li Peng and her voice was determined and heartless.
âMr. Li, I have no interest in your affairs with Ms. Yang. I have nothing to do with you now. Mr. Li, please respect yourself.â
The words ârespect yourselfâ was like a merciless slap on Li Pengâs face.
Li Pengâs face turned pale and he looked sadly at Lin Feiâer.
âFeiâer, you still hate me, donât you? I know you still care about me from the bottom of your heart, and thatâs why you are so angry.â
Seeing the affectionate look on his face, Lin Feiâer felt as if she had breathed in cold air.
How could there be such a shameless man in this world?
If he really regretted, why did he do such thing with Yang Xiaobing back then?
Lin Feiâer anger turned into laughter. She looked at Li Peng calmly, as if looking at a stranger.
âHate you? Indeed, I admit Iâve hated you since the day my child died. Iâll always remember that incident, but now, I hate myself more for ever liking a jerk like you!â
Li Peng couldnât help smiling bitterly, being called a jerk by the woman he loved.
The people around went into an uproar. They couldnât tell just by looking that a well-dressed man who looked like a successful man would be called a jerk.
Li Peng was speechless for a moment and a pleading bitter smile appeared on his face, âFeiâer, I...â
âDonât address me so intimately. Mr. Li, we arenât close!â
Lin Feiâer looked steadily at Li Peng. She didnât allow herself to show her feelings for this man perhaps because of the anger and pride at the bottom of her heart.
So far, there was no room for hatred. She didnât need to include this man in her life for the rest of her life.
Lin Feiâerâs face was calm. Her eyes swept across Li Peng and Yang Xiaobing, who was standing behind Li Peng calmly as she spoke with a loud voice.
âMr. Li, Ms. Yang, whether both of you get married or divorce in the future has nothing to do with me. You donât have to come forward to talk to me whenever you see me. Iâm sorry, my time is precious and itâs not to be used on people like you.â
Li Peng, and even Yang Xiaobing, did not expect Lin Feiâer to say this so harshly.
Yang Xiaobing titled her delicate and innocent face. She looked at Lin Feiâer sadly and tears began to fall from her eyes.
âSis Feiâer, Iâm sorry, I know you hate me for snatching Brother Peng, I...â
Yang Xiaobing walked toward Lin Feiâer while crying, as if trying to touch Lin Feiâerâs hand.
Lin Feiâer looked at her numbly. That pitiful eyes to her was like a poisoned dagger which had almost thrusted into her heart.
Lin Feiâer backed off quickly to avoid Yang Xiaobingâs touch. Her eyes were cold and her tone of voice was calm.
âMs. Yang, Iâve said Iâm not your sister. You donât have to claim kinship with me. As for last time, Iâll just treat it as if Iâve reared a white-eyed wolf, one who was blinded and inhumane. Really, if youâre so free to feign pity in front of me, why donât you invest your effort into watching your man closely?â
Hearing Lin Feiâerâs satirizing words, Li Pengâs face alternated between red and white and almost could not stand firmly.
Was Lin Feiâer implying that Li Peng would have another woman sooner or later?
Yang Xiaobing was full of tears and awkwardness appeared in her eyes. When she was about to say something else, Lin Feiâer had tugged Su Wan as they walked quickly to a seat by the window at the last row of the restaurant.
Her back was resolute, without a trace of being softened by nostalgia.
Li Peng watched as Lin Feiâer walked away. His hands seized tightly together. Just when Li Peng wanted to chase after Lin Feiâer, he was tugged by Yang Xiaobing.
Yang Xiaobing let out a sigh of forbearance. Her small face was covered with sweat, making one who looked at it feel worried.
âBrother Peng, my stomach is very painful, can we go to the hospital first?â
How could she allow Li Peng to continue looking for Lin Feiâer?
The current situation was not favorable to her. Before she delivered the baby, she must hold Li Pengâs heart firmly. Even if she couldnât hold his heart, she must get their marriage certificate first.
Seeing Yang Xiaobing who looked like she was in extreme pain, Li Peng retracted his steps.
He pursed his lips and looked at the back of Lin Feiâer reluctantly from a distance away. He was silent for a long time and finally said to Yang Xiaobing, âAlright, Iâll bring you to the hospital first.â
