Chapter 398: 398 Know Yourself

Chapter 398

He stood up, lowered his head, and saw his own wrinkled clothes with a lingering unpleasant smell on him.

Pei JianGuo felt disgusted and went to take a shower. When he came back to the room, he realized Liu Chunhua was not there.

He panicked for a moment, hurriedly put on his clothes and went out, only to see Liu Chunhua walking in with breakfast.

"You're done with your shower. I made breakfast. Eat something," Liu Chunhua said with red eyes and a slightly weak, hoarse voice. She looked pitiful.

Pei JianGuo also felt he was being unreasonable.

He avoided her gaze awkwardly and took the initiative to help bring the dishes. "Don't busy yourself. Sit down and eat first. I'll go ask for leave from work after this. Wait for me at home."

They both knew clearly what he was asking leave for.

Liu Chunhua did not speak and lowered her head sitting at the table. Pei JianGuo looked at her and was still determined.

The two ate breakfast in silence. Neither took the initiative to speak and Liu Chunhua did not beg anymore.

Pei JianGuo thought she had given up and tidied himself up, pushing his bike out.

He rode fast all the way, half panicking and half venting his frustration.

He was doing well at work recently so it was easy for him to ask for leave.

But when he returned home, Liu Chunhua was nowhere to be seen.

In the room, two of her outfits were missing. A small part of the money at home had been taken, while most was still kept in its original place.

Initially, Pei JianGuo was the one keeping all the money at home. He only gave her some living expenses every month. It was just last year that he felt he could really spend his whole life with this woman, so he had become more lenient.

Since they did not have children, to reassure her, he kept half his salary to himself and gave the other half to Liu Chunhua.

Anyway, she did not know exactly how much he earned, and thought that was all he had, fully trusting him.

But who would have expected this to happen this year.

Pei JianGuo leaned powerlessly against the cabinet door, feeling extremely helpless.

As usual, Pei Yong made breakfast early in the morning and PingAn was sitting at the table early.

After eating, PingAn shouldered his schoolbag to go to school while Pei Yong tidied up, also about to head out.

Would he not have resented it if Pei Yong really beat or tied him up?

He still would have.

Some people never blamed themselves, feeling it was always other people's fault. So meddling or not was always wrong.

Now Pei Yong was more open-minded. He willingly took PingAn on himself and the boy was clever and sensible without his father's flaws. He was willing to raise PingAn.

As for other things, like he said, he really could not manage them and did not want to either.

Liu Chunhua wept there. Pei Yong also could not leave her alone at home. He could only sit there listening to her cry.

This was the scene Pei JianGuo saw when he arrived.

Liu Chunhua sobbed sorrowfully while Pei Yong sat across from her, staring blankly at the main entrance.

He seemed to know Pei JianGuo would come. Upon seeing him, Pei Yong simply stood up and said, "Since you're here, discuss your matters between yourselves. I have to go to work. I'm late already."

Pei Yong walked past Pei JianGuo calmly, leaving him feeling dejected.

At this moment, how Pei JianGuo hoped he would scold or even hit him!

But the reality was he truly did not want to meddle anymore. He was not joking or scaring him.

Perhaps he had disappointed him too much.

Only the two of them were left in the house. Liu Chunhua was even more nervous seeing Pei JianGuo who had rushed here. Her eyes were badly swollen from crying.

Pei JianGuo did not urge her and just sat beside her silently. The two confronted each other this way.

Liu Chunhua had to concede. Covering her belly with one hand, she said, "I'm sorry, really sorry. I didn't mean to either but I just can't bear to... JianGuo..."

"I thought we were clear initially. Chunhua, I'm the one who's too selfish. After having a son, I shouldn't deprive you of the right to be a mother either. If you really want a child, then go. I'll give you all the money at home, as compensation, for Pei JianGuo wronging you."

After Gao Qingcheng, he did not have much desire for women anymore. Marrying Liu Chunhua was something he had to do back then.

He could live with her but when it came to having children, he felt he could not shoulder that responsibility and was honestly afraid again.

Although he lived muddledly, harming himself and others, harming children was the one thing he refused to do.

If he could not raise a child properly, it was better not to have any, lest the child grew up to become someone like him.
