After Xia Zhi went downstairs, she called for a taxi and got on, the taxi driver turned to look at her, "Where are you going?"

Xia Zhi closed her eyes and casually mentioned an address, but when she said it, she suddenly realised that the address she mentioned was Pei Yaochen's.

The driver frowned, "Then where are we going?"

Since it was already one in the morning, the street was no longer filled with people, and there was no obstruction along the way. Xia Zhi arrived at her destination half an hour later.

Looking at the quiet building under the night sky, Xia Zhi inexplicably panicked. She felt that it was a beast that was quietly lying down in the grass, it could leap out at any time and pounce at her, ripping her to shreds.

However, no matter how scared she was, it couldn't be compared to her deep-seated longing for her child.

She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and got out. She looked up at the cliff, then waved at the driver, who was still looking at her uneasily.

The driver stuck his head out. "Do you live here?"

"Of course." Xia Zhi calmly nodded.

"Why not the front door?" the driver asked, puzzled.

"Because my dad is an old-fashioned man. If he sees me drink like this and comes back alone, he'll have to scold me and lock me up. So, I have to go through the back door. My servant left the door open for me! If I go in like this, I'll be able to disappear without a trace! " Xia Zhi laughed.

Over the years, her lies had become more and more straightforward. She didn't even need to draft a lie. This was a skill that forced the hardships of life out of her.

When the driver heard this, he really believed it and let out a long sigh, "The lives of rich people are really not something ordinary people like us can understand! Alright! Then quickly go in! Watch your step! Don't slip down the cliff by accident! "

"Thank you. You can drive slowly! " Xia Zhi laughed and waved her hand, until the car disappeared from her sight, then took a deep breath and slowly walked forward.

Very quickly, she arrived at the wall that was more than ten meters high and was above the cliff.

This was the wall surrounding Pei Yaochen's backyard. As long as she climbed over the wall, she could see that she had been dreaming about more than a thousand children day and night …

Her heart trembled slightly at the thought of the child soon to be held in her arms.

His body could not help but sway a little.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by. She inexplicably shook her body and almost fell down the cliff. Fortunately, she was in time to grab onto a protruding brick on the wall. She barely managed to catch herself.

She turned her head to look at the pitch-black seawater and heard the waves slapping against the rocks. She felt her body turn cold as she broke out in a cold sweat.

She took a deep breath, no longer daring to hesitate, and climbed up with her bare hands.

All these years, she had been actively exercising her ability to survive in the wild. She had almost broken a leg because of this, but she had eventually mastered a whole set of skills.

To her, this kind of hand-to-hand climbing was already an extremely simple little CASE.

Xia Zhi used her hands and feet to quickly climb, very quickly reaching the top of the tall wall.

She was secretly relieved that there was no electricity grid on the wall.

She looked around and saw bodyguards patrolling.

She wasn't in a hurry, and only waited quietly until the bodyguard walked to another place before she leaped towards a large, lush banyan tree not far away.

After successfully landing on the branch, it caused the leaves to sway about, but it didn't attract the attention of the bodyguards in the distance.

Xia Zhi let out a long breath and slid down the tree branch soundlessly. She lowered her body and quickly dashed forward.

She had long since memorized the topography of this place, so she was very familiar with it as she quickly arrived at the back of the luxurious building.

She threw back her head, spat twice into her hands, rubbed them together, and quickly climbed up again.

Soon, she climbed into a bedroom on the second floor.

Because of the closed curtains, the bedroom was pitch black.

Because it was pitch black, it made everything around her seem even quieter. In contrast, her heartbeat was so loud that it sounded like thunder rumbling in her ears.

Xia Zhi didn't dare to breathe. She was afraid that the slightest sound in her breathing would alarm the person sleeping peacefully on the bed.

This bedroom should be Pei Yuyang's room.

According to the detective, he had been sleeping alone in a room since the age of one.

Of course, there were nannies who came in regularly every night and called him to get up and get rid of them.

Xia Zhi held her breath and walked towards the direction of the bed. When her feet met an obstacle, she reached out her hands to touch the soft blanket, but she was certain that she had reached the bed already.

Her heart was beating faster and faster because she was burning with anticipation and excitement.

She took out her cell phone from her pocket, switched on the flashlight, and shone it on the bed. When the child's beautiful face came into view, her tears fell abruptly.

"Darling, Mommy came to see you …" she whispered, her hand trembling as she gently touched his cheek.

His facial features were extremely delicate and beautiful, just like an angel in a painting. His cuteness was so pure that it would cause one's heart to tremble.

His skin was soft and silky, like satin.

He was truly perfect.

Although she didn't look like him, she still fell deeply in love with him, making her wish that she could carry him and quietly leave this place.

"How are you? Have you ever thought about me? " she asked stupidly, lowering her head slowly and laying one tearful kiss after another on his cheek.

Just as she was about to lose herself, she heard the door handle turn.

Startled, she quickly rushed to the closet, opened the door and went inside, hiding behind a pile of clothes.

Just as he closed the door, he heard someone walk in.

Following that, lights started to shine through the gap between the walls. She could not help but look out, only to see Pei Yaochen dressed in black pajamas walking quickly towards the bedside.

He lowered his head and carefully examined the child. Finally, with an expression of heartache, he reached out and picked the child up and whispered, "Darling, why are you crying? Was he having another nightmare? He wasn't afraid! Daddy is here to protect you! With daddy here, there will never be a monster that can bully you! Daddy will chase them away! "

At the end of his speech, he began to chant softly, swaying slightly as he sang.

Listening to the familiar melody, Xia Zhi's tears fell.

It was a bluegrass tune she used to sing to the baby when she was pregnant, and he used to sit there and smile and peel apples for her, and he was so casual about it that he remembered every word of it.

He was really serious about his children.

The child must be happy with him.

But unfortunately, his love was only given to children, and he wasn't willing to give it to her …

At this moment, looking at the doting Pei Yaochen, Xia Zhi's heart inexplicably had complicated emotions.

They were so close together that she could see the expression on his face, smell the mint scent that had been absent from him, and remember more clearly what had happened to them.

As long as she wanted to, she could push open the door and stand in front of him, asking him why he could make fun of her so cruelly and make her think that she had met true love …

She gently closed her eyes, trying to adjust her breathing, forcing herself to suppress the overwhelming impulse in her heart.

After a while, she managed to calm herself down.

When he looked again, he saw him lying down on the bed with the baby in his arms, and then the room was dark again, except for his voice, which was still low and husky and sexy.

It was still the same lullaby, over and over, pausing from time to time with a sob, like an old record player in disrepair.

Why is it choking?

Could it be that when he was singing this shaking blue song, he remembered her from the past?

He regretted his initial decision?

Or did he actually have some feelings for her?

Will it?

In that moment, Xia Zhi was a little confused, and kept asking questions in her ear.

The image of someone she knew and loved flashed in front of her eyes like a passing lantern, causing her to burst into tears.

But in the end, his decisive words, as well as the way he didn't even look at her on the operating table, who was covered in blood, carried the child away and left her in a hurry.

He was so cruel and merciless, how could she continue to waver?

She had experienced so many years of hard work, so many days of despair. How could she be shaken by this incomprehensible song?

Furthermore, someone as heartless and unloyal as him had approached her for the sake of his children from the very beginning. He had been acting for the sake of his children for over a year, so he must have thought through all the consequences.

Perhaps, even if Han Jing did not create that farce, he would have used all sorts of methods to humiliate her until the end and finally force her away from his child.

He never had any love for her, and even if he did, it was only because of her face that was practically the same as Mo Yanqiu's …

Xia Zhi's heart ached from the cold. She sat down powerlessly and used both hands to cover her ears.

I don't want to hear it! Don't listen!

She kept telling herself.

However, his voice seemed to have countless tendrils that invaded her ears. Every cell in her body was unable to break free, making her feel as if she was suffering a fate worse than death …
