Chapter 66: Follow Your Heart

He had always followed his heart and did whatever he thought of.

However, he would not be honest with Li Ze about this.

“Pei Xin and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we are, but 1 came to find Pei Xin to make up for it.” Lu Huai said. “And I promise that after Pei Xin comes back with me, Lu Li won’t hurt her again.”

“What guarantee do you have that he won’t?” Li Ze sneered. “You have nothing to do with Pei Xin, so what status do you have to protect Pei Xin?”

Lu Huai was stumped.

While the two of them were in a stalemate, the office door was pushed open.

Jiang Yan walked in, and behind her was Pei Xin.

Pei Xin was a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to escape when she saw Lu Huai.

Lu Huai hurriedly stood up and grabbed Pei Xin’s wrist.

Lu Huai’s voice was low and hoarse with some guilt. “Pei Xin, I’m sorry. 1 need to apologize for Lu Li’s actions. Ling Lin is recovering very well now, but you’re his mother. He needs you there with me. Come back with me. I will arrange for bodyguards to protect the three of you at all times. I won’t let Lu Li hurt you again. I’ll also help solve Ling Lin’s school problems. Do you want him to only let his uncle be there? As his mother, you should be by his side too.”

Lu Huai’s words hit Pei Xin’s heart.

She had suffered so much after she was released from prison. The pillar that allowed her to persevere was Ling Lin.

Even though she video called Ling Lin every day, it was still different from being by his side.

Yesterday, Ling Lin showed her the new house in the video call and asked her when she would be back. She felt that she should have been there with him.

Li Ze cursed Lu Huai for being cunning.

Lu Huai had grasped Pei Xin’s weakness and knew that Pei Xin cared a lot about her son.

At the same time, Li Ze felt a little disappointed. If only Ling Lin was truly his son.

Back then at the hotel, although he did not have sex with Pei Xin, he was drunk and resting in the room. Coincidentally, a girl appeared in the room.

The girl was unconscious and seemed to have been drugged.

He had sex with that girl, but he knew very well that the girl was not Pei Xin.

As for who the girl was, he didn’t even look at her seriously to find out who she was.

At that time, he liked how she threw herself into his arms.

After all, there were many women who wanted to climb into his bed at such a banquet.

It was only later when he heard about Pei Xin that he understood that there were many drugged drinks at the banquet that night.

Therefore, after he brought Pei Xin over, he immediately got someone to forge a fake paternity test result.

He even lied to himself that perhaps the one who slept with him back then was Pei Xin.

He loved Pei Xin. Even if Ling Lin was not his son, he knew that he would have treated Ling Lin as his own.

Even if Pei Xin did not want to have another child in the future, he was willing to consider Ling Lin as his.

As long as Pei Xin gave him some time, he would get a divorce after he gained power.

Now, everything has changed.

If Lu Huai also had feelings for Pei Xin, then whatever Lu Huai could give Pei Xin, he couldn’t.

Jiang Yan suddenly laughed. “CEO Lu, you’re poaching my company’s employees right in front of me. Do you not take me seriously?”

Lu Huai only noticed Jiang Yan when she spoke.

He frowned slightly. “Aren’t you Li Ze’s fiance? Why are you with Pei Xin?”

“Did she give you a hard time?” Lu Huai looked at Pei Xin worriedly.

Jiang Yan looked annoyed. Why was everyone treating her as a bad person that wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Pei Xin?

Jiang Yan leaned closer to Lu Huai and asked him, “Do 1 look that evil? Pei Xin is my secretary. I recently handed a big project to her. If she wants to see her son, she can bring Ling Lin over. The house I’ve arranged for her is big enough to take care of them. As for Ling Lin going to school, I can handle that too. Lu Li can’t reach out and hurt Pei Xin here in Haicheng with me around.”

Jiang Yan looked at Pei Xin gently. “You need to know that you have the right to choose. You can do what you want to do without having to worry about so many things.”

Pei Xin hesitated and struggled to free her wrist from Lu Huai’s grip.

“I’ll have to consider some matters.” Pei Xin said to Lu Huai..
