Chapter 9 It's all your fault
The living room of the Pei family's old house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Pei's mother looked at Yun Zhaozhao, then at her son.
She didn't know why Yun Zhaozhao had suddenly become so eloquent. She only knew that her son had never been so terrifying before, and she didn't even dare to ask Yun Zhaozhao a single question.
The clerk coughed lightly and explained in a low voice, "Zhao Zhao, Jiu Yan and I aren't what you think, you've misunderstood... Ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, she screamed in fright as Yun Zhaozhao smashed the ashtray on the coffee table right in front of her.
"I told you not to call me that, can't you understand human language?"
Only those close to her can call her Zhaozhao; why should the clerk be allowed to?
The custom-made ashtray was smashed to pieces, and the flying shards cut her hands. She didn't dare to speak, and could only breathe rapidly.
Just now, she thought Yun Zhaozhao was going to smash her to death!
Pei's mother lost her usual elegance and shouted loudly, "Pei Jiuyan, get her out of here, get her out of here!"
Pei Jiuyan glanced at his mother and the scribe, who were clearly frightened, stepped forward, grabbed Yun Zhaozhao's hand, and pulled her into his arms.
"Mom, Zhao Zhao and I had a little disagreement. She didn't mean it."
"I'll bring her back another day to apologize to you."
After saying that, Pei Jiuyan put her arm around Yun Zhaozhao and walked out, refusing to let go no matter how much Yun Zhaozhao hit her.
Even though Yun Zhaozhao used all her strength, she still couldn't contend with Pei Jiuyan.
Pei Jiuyan used both coaxing and threats.
"Alright, that's enough, my goodness. If you keep causing trouble, things will really get out of control."
"Yun Zhaozhao, just you wait, I won't let this go this time."
"Yun Zhaozhao, you haven't been disciplined enough."
"..."
Finally, Yun Zhaozhao was forcibly taken to the car by Pei Jiuyan.
"Return to Yunshui Garden."
Pei Jiuyan loosened his tie and said.
The driver quickly started the car, not daring to look back even once.
Yun Zhaozhao leaned against the door, her head resting on the car window, looking at the myriad lights outside, her nose feeling a little sore.
This place is so big, yet it seems there's not enough room for her.
Everyone has a home to return to, but she can't even go back to her own home.
Loneliness and sorrow enveloped her, and Pei Jiuyan, in his rage, was infected by her, his anger eventually turning into heartache.
"Zhaozhao, my little princess, Brother Jiu was wrong, Brother Jiu was really wrong."
Pei Jiuyan truly regretted it; he shouldn't have done that.
She was his precious treasure, whom he cherished and feared he might break, yet he caused her immense suffering.
She must have been heartbroken when she couldn't go home!
He can punish her if she misbehaves, but he cannot use this as a form of punishment.
"Punish me however you want, I'll do anything, just don't be angry with Brother Jiu, okay?"
Upon hearing Pei Jiuyan's words, Yun Zhaozhao reacted, slowly sitting up straight and looking at him.
"Anything is fine?"
"yes!"
Pei Jiuyan responded, then immediately added, "Divorce is out of the question! Not even as a joke."
Yun Zhaozhao wanted to laugh.
Even at this point, Pei Jiuyan still thought she was joking.
How shameless she must have been to give him the illusion that he could never live without her?
Taking a deep breath, Yun Zhaozhao looked out the window again and said slowly, "Then give me back my things. My photo album, my home..."
And also, give me back all the heart I gave you.
"Okay, Jiu-ge will give you anything, Jiu-ge will give you anything, baby, don't be angry."
Pei Jiuyan carefully pulled Yun Zhaozhao into his arms, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he felt that she was no longer resisting.
What he didn't know was that Yun Zhaozhao didn't want to resist, but that she simply couldn't resist now.
Her stomach was in excruciating pain. It had started to ache before she even went to the Pei family, but now it was getting worse.
Pei Jiuyan was unaware of this.
It was rare for Yun Zhaozhao to be so obedient and let him hold her, so he wanted to hold her a little longer.
He couldn't even remember the last time the two of them had been so affectionate.
They seemed to be arguing all year.
He knew the reason, but he didn't want to bring it up.
Thinking of that reason, his breathing quickened. After a while, he kissed the top of Yun Zhaozhao's head.
"Baby, don't leave me."
To cheer up Yun Zhaozhao, Pei Jiuyan didn't take her back to their home, but instead took her back to the Yun family home.
The access control system and door lock that had previously blocked Yun Zhaozhao were no problem for Pei Jiuyan. He carried Yun Zhaozhao back to the Yun family home, which they had not visited for a year, and only then did he notice that Yun Zhaozhao's complexion was off.
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her face was frighteningly pale, and her lower lip was bitten until it bled.
"What's wrong? Where do you feel unwell? Let's go to the hospital!"
Pei Jiuyan wanted to take Yun Zhaozhao out again, but Yun Zhaozhao firmly disagreed.
Going to the hospital now would expose the deception.
"I'm not going to the hospital. I just haven't eaten and I'm hungry."
"Pei Jiuyan, it's all your fault!"
It's your fault for leaving me unable to go home; it's your fault for bullying me with them; and it's even more your fault for giving me a child!
Pei Jiuyan didn't understand the implied meaning in her words, but she could sense the grievance in them, and she felt a tightness in her chest.
"Yes, it's all Jiu-ge's fault."
He quickly called the driver and asked him to go to the nearest restaurant and get two servings of porridge.
Pei Jiuyan had never felt time pass so slowly before. He kept checking the time to hide his unease.
Soon, the driver brought the porridge, and Pei Jiuyan quickly took it and began feeding Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao couldn't eat any at all, but in order not to arouse Pei Jiuyan's suspicion, she could only force herself to eat two spoonfuls.
Then no matter how Pei Jiuyan tried to feed her, she shook her head and said she wouldn't eat.
Pei Jiuyan wanted to get angry again, but looking at Yun Zhaozhao's pale face and bitten lip, he couldn't say anything.
When did his little princess become so distant from him? She's someone who's so afraid of pain, yet she doesn't dare tell him that she's in pain.
In the past, she would whimper for ages even if she just cut her finger.
Now, even after suffering from stomach pain for so long, she no longer seeks comfort from herself.
Pei Jiuyan composed herself before asking in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me you were in pain?"
“Baby, I’m so unhappy. You didn’t tell me you were in so much pain. You said we wouldn’t hide anything from each other.”
Yun Zhaozhao originally just wanted to rest, but after hearing Pei Jiuyan's shameless words, she couldn't help but open her eyes and look at him.
"Pei Jiuyan, are you not hiding anything from me?"
Pei Jiuyan's expression changed drastically. He seemed to want to say something, but Yun Zhaozhao interrupted him: "Besides, Pei Jiuyan, I already told you!"
Pei Jiuyan was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to ask, "When did you tell me that?"
Suddenly, he remembered that phone call from that day.
At that moment, Yun Zhaozhao said, "Pei Jiuyan, my stomach hurts! It hurts so much!"
What did he say?
He said he didn't have time to coax her, and that she brought it on herself.
Recalling what happened that day, Pei Jiuyan was struck dumb, standing there unable to move for a long time.
