Chapter 10 Apology

Yun Zhaozhao slept soundly until dawn, unaware of when that bastard Pei Jiuyan left.

When she woke up, she was sleeping in her old bed, wearing her pajamas.

Looking at the familiar room, Yun Zhaozhao smiled.

She hadn't been back for a long time. She walked from the second floor to the first floor, and everything was still the same familiar layout, except that her familiar family members were no longer there.

The house was completely empty, and Yun Zhaozhao's eyes immediately reddened.

Just then, the door was opened and a person walked in.

"Miss, you're awake?"

"Aunt Chen?"

Yun Zhaozhao looked at Aunt Chen in surprise. Aunt Chen was an old maid in their family. Not long after she was born, Aunt Chen started working at home.

Later, something happened in her family, and she was heartbroken. Yun Zhaozhao originally wanted to keep Aunt Chen, but Aunt Chen said she had to go back to take care of her grandson and left in the end.

"Miss, are you hungry? Mr. Pei said your stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, so I specially made you some easily digestible food."

As Aunt Chen spoke, she came over to help her.

"Aunt Chen, is it really you? Didn't you go back to take care of your grandson?"

Yun Zhaozhao hadn't yet recovered from the excitement of seeing Aunt Chen.

"What grandchildren? My son and his family haven't even had children yet."

"At the time, I was afraid that the sight of this place would upset you, so I left."

“Mr. Pei called me last night, and I came over first thing this morning.”

"Miss, how come you've lost so much weight? If the master, madam, and young master knew that you don't take care of your health, they would be heartbroken."

As Aunt Chen spoke, she carefully touched Yun Zhaozhao's face.

She watched Yun Zhaozhao grow up; she was the little princess of the entire Yun family, and she adored her.

Seeing the once cheerful and bright young lady like this breaks her heart.

"Aunt Chen, I miss you so much."

Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but rush into Aunt Chen's arms. To her, Aunt Chen was like family.

Perhaps because Aunt Chen was there, Yun Zhaozhao's appetite improved a lot, and her lower abdomen also stopped hurting.

Seeing that she had eaten quite a bit, Aunt Chen felt relieved. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Miss, did you and Mr. Pei have a fight?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao paused, then shook her head. "We didn't argue. I just want a divorce!"

"ah?!"

Aunt Chen was shocked. She had sensed that Yun Zhaozhao and he were having problems since Pei Jiuyan's phone call yesterday, but she didn't expect the problems to be so serious that they were even getting a divorce.

"Why are you getting a divorce?"

The older generation always advises reconciliation rather than separation, and everyone in the Yun family knows how much Yun Zhaozhao likes Pei Jiuyan, so she naturally knows as well.

Thinking of a possibility, Aunt Chen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "Miss, did he do something to betray you?"

Before Yun Zhaozhao could speak, she excitedly added, "Master said before that Pei Jiuyan is not a simple person, but has the ambition of a wolf."

Seeing Aunt Chen defend her so much, Yun Zhaozhao felt a warmth in her heart.

"Aunt Chen, I just... can't go on with him anymore."

"Aunt Chen, I don't love him anymore."

I'm too tired to love anymore!

From the innocent first meeting at sixteen to now at twenty-five, we've been dating for seven years and married for three.

She thought about it carefully, but she still didn't know what she liked about Pei Jiuyan.

She relentlessly pursued Pei Jiuyan, even though she knew Pei's mother was not satisfied with her, she was still full of enthusiasm.

When they were getting married, her father disagreed, saying that she and Pei Jiuyan were not compatible, but she didn't listen or think so.

She felt that she and Pei Jiuyan were a perfect match, and there was no one more suitable than them.

She's impatient, he's calm; she's easily angered, he's willing to coax her.

Why is it inappropriate?

However, she forgot that people change, and even coaxing can become tiring, just as she herself grew tired of waiting and could no longer love.

To be honest, even now, she doesn't know if Pei Jiuyan's feelings for her are love, habit, or simply gratitude for the help the Yun family gave him.

Just as with his scribe, his indulgence of himself stemmed from gratitude.

Yun Zhaozhao didn't want to think about it anymore and changed the subject.

"Aunt Chen, are you still leaving?"

When she asked this question, Yun Zhaozhao's heart was pounding.

“I won’t leave! Miss needs me, I won’t go anywhere else, I’ll stay with Miss.”

Aunt Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao's heart instantly calmed down.

She felt a little embarrassed, but mostly relieved. Thankfully, she still had family; she wasn't alone.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen."

As the two were talking, the door was opened and Pei Jiuyan walked in. He didn't look well; his eyes were bloodshot and he exuded a low-pressure aura.

Yun Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he found out she was pregnant?

She felt a pang of panic, but then she heard Pei Jiuyan say, "Zhaozhao, let's go to the hospital."

"I'm not going!"

Yun Zhaozhao said warily.

"Zhaozhao!"

Pei Jiuyan frowned, her expression seemingly agitated: "The document has gone awry and is showing signs of miscarriage. So, we have to go to the hospital, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, anger surged through her heart.

“She is a benefactor of your Pei family, not my benefactor, Yun Zhaozhao. If you want to go, go yourself.”

"Yun Zhaozhao!"

Pei Jiuyan raised her voice: "Don't you know why the document is causing a miscarriage?"

Yun Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow: "You mean I made her have a miscarriage?"

Yun Zhaozhao then remembered the cup she had smashed yesterday. She curled her lip and said, "What a pity, I missed and didn't hit her."

Pei Jiuyan's pupils suddenly contracted: "Yun Zhaozhao, do you know what you're saying? Are you crazy?"

"Crazy?"

Yun Zhaozhao scoffed, "I should have gone crazy sooner."

If she had realized this sooner, she wouldn't have suffered so much injustice.

She should have gone mad and refused to live long ago, when Pei Jiuyan almost died because of the documents.

Pei Jiuyan realized he had said the wrong thing, and his tone softened when he spoke again.

"Zhaozhao, don't be angry. I know you didn't mean it."

Yun Zhaozhao blinked and slowly uttered, "Pei Jiuyan, are you blind? I did it on purpose!"

Seeing Pei Jiuyan's ashen face, she added, "Didn't you already know? I wanted to kill her back then!"

"Shut up, Yun Zhaozhao!"

Pei Jiuyan's breathing quickened, but Yun Zhaozhao continued:

"Haven't you been searching for who tried to kill Wenshu back then? You guessed right, it was me!"

Pei Jiuyan stared at Yun Zhaozhao with bloodshot eyes: "I said, shut up!"

Yun Zhaozhao scoffed, "You can't even close it a little bit."

She suddenly murmured again, "Pei Jiuyan, how come you weren't beaten to death back then!"
