Chapter 27 It was only once, why didn't that woman get pregnant...?
The car keys were tossed onto the table with a clatter.
A week of high-intensity work has really taken its toll.
Ye Chuyi had just changed out of her red-soled high heels when someone banged heavily on the door twice.
A face that was half familiar and half unfamiliar appeared on the video doorbell, and Ye Chuyi's unspoken words were silenced by shock.
She had seen countless unpredictable events. Now, through cultivation, she rarely experienced emotional fluctuations, let alone trivial emotions like 'surprise'.
She roughly knew why the people outside had come.
Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, the person threw several gift boxes inside.
"What does this mean? Ye Chuyi, I don't need your pity."
Wei Sibei leaned against the door frame with one hand, his eyes reflecting a scorched earth, devoid of any trace of greenery.
After eight years apart, he looked her over. She was wearing a uniform, had a high ponytail, and had many more medals on her shoulders than she had eight years ago.
Ye Chuyi also looked at him warily. The collar of her gray ribbed vest was loose, revealing a light-colored scar on her collarbone. Her other hand was hooked around her waistband and pulling it back, as if she was ready to pull out her belt and start a fight at any moment. Her gaze finally settled on the black motorcycle jacket.
Ye Chuyi frowned slightly. Why is it this one again?
He looked much older, with dark circles under his eyes.
She looked up and met his gaze: "I heard that Auntie had surgery, so I'm buying her some supplements."
"Ha, what do you mean? You've finally had a change of heart, huh? You think you can make up for it with this cheap kind of concern?"
Wei Sibei glanced at the medal on her shoulder, raised his hand to fiddle with it a few times, but Ye Chuyi dodged him.
He stepped in, closing the distance between them: "Wow, you've been promoted pretty quickly."
Ye Chuyi frowned slightly: "How did you get back? How did you pass the inspection?"
Wei Sibei approached her, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "What, Miss Ye, do you think I'm not worthy to stand before you?" His gaze was no longer burning, but had turned into a deep, destructive warning, locking onto her eyes. "Eight years ago, you came to my side as an undercover agent, saying how much you loved me, that I was your only one, and then you turned around and accused me. All for your performance. To get promoted step by step, huh?"
He emphasized the last few words.
Ignoring his sarcasm and mockery, Ye Chuyi stubbornly raised her head: "It happened eight years ago, and we were both at fault. Consider it my way of making it up to you. My aunt used to be very good to me; can't I go see her?"
Wei Sibei scoffed, "You woman, you're always putting on an act. For the past eight years, you've ignored me completely. You must have heard about my return as soon as I came back, right? Well, with your current rank, a bunch of subordinates will be giving you information."
Ye Chuyi retorted, "You're not bad either, you managed to find my address so quickly."
Wei Sibei leaned against the doorframe, one hand in his pocket, and glanced at her with a roguish grin: "Compensation, huh? Fine! I want you to pay me back with your body!"
Ye Chuyi pursed her lips and glared at him with disgust: "Don't pretend to be such a scoundrel."
"What, you don't want to? Didn't you climb into my bed first? Have you been an official for so long that you've forgotten how to seduce men?"
After a brief silence, Ye Chuyi's aura remained undiminished.
She suddenly kicked aside the gift boxes scattered on the floor, walked to the sofa, and abruptly took off her uniform, not avoiding his gaze at all, removing her shirt, skirt, and leggings one by one.
In front of him, there was only a pair of underwear left.
"Come on, didn't you want to pay me back with your body? I'll make up for everything I've owed you over the past eight years."
In Wei Sibei's view, this was undoubtedly a provocation. He pursed his index finger against his lower lip and dangerously curled one corner of his mouth: "Don't think I wouldn't dare."
He also took off his leather jacket, pulled her down onto the sofa, and suddenly grabbed her wrist, pinning her to the side.
Ye Chuyi froze completely under his forceful movements.
No matter how passionately he kissed her, how intensely he wanted to possess her, she just lay there, like a withered tree.
Eight years ago, the two had so many intimate and affectionate nights together.
Unlike now, there's no flirting, no comforting, no interaction, no sweet words; for her, it's just a way to vent.
It wasn't that she didn't want him to vent, but she felt a deep sadness and grief.
The lightning suddenly illuminated the mess on the ground, and also the tears in her eyes.
Wei Sibei suddenly stopped.
He pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.
These were the eyes that had almost stolen his soul when they appeared before him eight years ago.
She is so cold and ruthless now, completely unlike the charming and willful girl who used to fawn over him.
She had the same pair of tearful eyes when they parted eight years ago.
He was tricked so badly.
He suddenly came to his senses, released his grip on her hands, and felt a little dizzy.
The rain just poured down.
He slumped onto the sofa, about to take out his lighter, when Ye Chuyi suddenly grabbed his vest collar and tackled him to the ground.
"What? You think ordinary methods are meaningless, Boss Wei?" she said, stroking down his pectoral muscles.
Wei Sibei gripped her wrist tightly. From the very beginning, she had set a trap to seduce him, all because of this one sentence.
"You don't like being forced? Then how about you be a masochist?" Ye Chuyi bit his upper lip, changing her approach and wrapping her legs around his waist.
Wei Sibei showed no mercy, grabbed her shoulders and flipped her over to his feet, then uncontrollably moved forward to meet her.
Ye Chuyi rolled up his clothes from his waist, revealing his strong shoulders and back, and ran her fingers up and down his bronze skin.
Okay, let her make amends completely, and then we'll never see each other again!
·
Three months later—
In the midnight garage, Wei Sibei sat alone in his car.
The smoke rings blurred his expression as he continued smoking one cigarette after another.
The lab report in his hand was crumpled in his hand—he was starting to hate that woman.
It was just once, how come it wasn't that woman who got pregnant!
The paper made a sharp squeaking sound as he clenched his fist, his forearm muscles tensing, and Wei Sibei slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
Friday night was unusually pleasant. Ye Chuyi sat barefoot on the sofa, the living room lights were dim, and she was watching a movie while holding a specially made cocktail.
The door was suddenly slammed shut.
Ye Chuyi frowned warily and turned down the projection volume.
No one spoke outside the door. After a while, the door was pounded on a few more times, sounding angry.
She turned on the video doorbell, and Wei Sibei was leaning against the wall with one hand on the door, looking nonchalant and carefree.
Just as Wei Sibei was about to knock for the third time, the door suddenly opened, and a draft of wind blew her fluffy, tousled hair around.
Without her uniform, she didn't seem so domineering.
Ye Chuyi glared at him: "What are you doing? You're making a scene with the neighbors!"
Wei Sibei said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, I have something to tell you."
As he was about to step inside, Ye Chuyi suddenly pushed him forcefully out: "Brother K knows you're back and has been looking for you everywhere. He's had people watching this place, so you'd better leave quickly."
Wei Sibei gripped the doorframe with both hands, blocking the entrance like an impenetrable wall: "Who? Little K? He dares to call me 'brother'?"
Ye Chuyi rolled her eyes at him, which only emboldened Wei Sibei: "Pah! He wasn't even worthy to carry my shoes before. You didn't even respect him eight years ago, and I..."
Ye Chuyi interrupted him: "Old what?"
Wei Sibei's eyes flickered: "Father... I told you so, so what? What kind of look is that? Who do you think you are to me now? You think you can tell me what to do?"
Ye Chuyi didn't argue with him: "Fine! I don't care, I don't care if you die. If you're going to die, die somewhere else, don't die in front of my house."
Wei Sibei's tall figure blocked her view, and Ye Chuyi looked over his shoulder, when suddenly a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Come in!"
Ye Chuyi suddenly grabbed his shoulder and pulled him inside. The moment the door closed, the tip of the knife got stuck in the gap.
"Brother Bei, it's been a long time!"
A familiar voice came from behind him. Wei Sibei turned his head and glanced at the people who came over. He raised the corners of his lips contemptuously and said, "You traitors."
The man flexed his wrists as he said, "We have no choice; we're just trying to make a living."
The attack was a deadly blow, but Wei Sibei was able to take on four opponents single-handedly. Because they were his former subordinates, he didn't go all out.
The two sides were separated by a threshold, and they went back and forth.
Unable to withstand the knife in the other party's hand, Wei Sibei tried to dodge, but the other party stepped in.
Two dark, wet, and dirty footprints immediately appeared on her brown, fluffy floor mat.
A flame ignited in Wei Sibei's eyes. He snatched the knife from the man's hand in a few moves and forced him to kneel on the ground: "You've dirtied other people's things, so you should apologize. Didn't I teach you this rule before?"
He stepped on the man's back, the tip of his knife pointing at the others: "And you lot, you've disturbed the neighbors!"
Ye Chuyi knew that tonight would not end easily. Once Wei Sibei's whereabouts were discovered, Brother K would not let him off easily.
Without making a sound, she changed into high heels and, before the next wave of thugs arrived, kicked out a way to escape with a few flying kicks.
The thugs were experienced; with the door guarded, it was impossible for her and Wei Sibei to close it completely.
She cleared a path and then grabbed Wei Sibei's hand, running upwards.
The thugs, having eaten their fill, quickly gave chase. However, their momentum waned considerably after they spotted her red-soled high heels.
A legendary, terrifying 'female demon' who can cripple someone with a single kick.
Ye Chuyi had already changed direction, pressed the buttons for every elevator floor, and then jumped off the fire escape onto the terrace.
The thugs split into several groups, which successfully diverted their attention.
Running to a place out of the surveillance cameras, Ye Chuyi went down the chimney to the underground parking garage.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after driving the car to a safe place.
In this old urban area, few streetlights are working. This tree is right in a blind spot for CCTV cameras.
Only then did she realize that Wei Sibei hadn't said a word, his fist pressed against his abdomen, and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
The intense fighting and the long run had caused the baby in Wei Sibei's belly to start protesting. Wei Sibei cursed under his breath, really wanting to drag the baby out and beat it up.
Ye Chuyi really couldn't stand him swearing, but seeing that he seemed genuinely upset, she held back and didn't correct him.
"What's wrong? Is your stomach hurting again?"
Wei Sibei leaned back in his chair, avoiding the question: "If you're not, I don't care even if I die. Why ask?"
Ye Chuyi took her hands off the steering wheel: "Yeah, then go die."
Wei Sibei opened the car door, and a gust of cool wind blew in. Why was it always raining when he came to see her? The rain and mist were hazy, and the shadows of the trees in the distance created a dreamlike atmosphere.
He closed the door and sat back down: "You can tell me to die and I'll die, but I won't listen to you."
Before Ye Chuyi could reply, he immediately asked with a cold face, "If you just run away like this, won't they ransack your house?"
As Ye Chuyi pulled up the home security camera footage, she said, "Hmph, they really dare to do this. I'll make sure they rot in jail."
In the video, the front door was indeed still open, but no one was there. The living room wasn't a complete mess, but awkwardly, the movie on the screen was showing the male and female leads passionately kissing.
It was a rainy day like this, in a confined space, when the male lead cornered the female lead against the wall in a French kiss. Wide shot, medium shot, close-up, extreme close-up—the camera work, the hand gestures, the intense eye contact, the atmosphere building…
It makes people blush and their hearts race.
Wei Sibei glanced at it sideways and said disdainfully, "Why are you watching this kind of stuff at home by yourself?"
Ye Chuyi retorted, "What's it to you, you straight man? Didn't you have something to say just now?"
Wei Sibei was already hesitant, wondering why he should have a child with such a scumbag girl.
Ye Chuyi urged him, "If you have nothing to say, then leave. Don't come looking for me again."
He suddenly secured her with the seatbelt, moved closer to her, and only then did Ye Chuyi smell the alcohol.
Perhaps it was because I was relaxed, but the smell was particularly noticeable in the enclosed carriage.
“What do you mean, ‘Don’t come looking for me’? You don’t think that saving me once means we’re even, do you? You owe me,” he said, tracing the tip of the knife back and forth across her cheek, “I’ll make you pay back, slowly, slowly.”
Ye Chuyi was not one to be threatened. She suddenly made a move, and Wei Sibei hurriedly withdrew his hand, accidentally cutting his own palm in the process.
She mimicked the actions in the movies, passionately kissing his lips and grabbing his wrist to take the knife away: "Then pay it back now. Whatever compensation I owe you, I'll pay it all back in one go!"
Suddenly remembering the doctor's advice that he shouldn't have sex for the first three months, he pushed her away, even though he was still captivated by the sweet scent of her lips. "What, you think you can pay me back with your looks and figure by sleeping with me a few times? Ye Chuyi, you're too confident."
"Stop half-heartedly resisting. Don't you men like to play hard to get? What's wrong with you now?" Ye Chuyi continued to provoke him.
Just like eight years ago, he couldn't handle being provoked, and his eyes quickly darkened: "Ye Chuyi, don't you know whether I'm capable or not?"
Damn it, this kid wasn't planning on having the baby anyway. If she miscarries because of her, this woman will have to commit another crime.
