BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - 53: You Are Very Important
Pei Xin stared at Li Ze. “So the reason why you’re with Zhang Ying is because you found a glimpse of me in her? You treated her as a substitute, right?”
Li Ze nodded. He could not deny anything in front of her.
“Pei Xin, 1 like you, whether it was five years ago or now. During the five years you were in prison, 1 found many girls like you, but none of them could replace you.”
Li Ze wanted to continue expressing his feelings for Pei Xin, but Pei Xin just stared at him blankly, making him unable to say anything else.
“So to you, these women were nothing but playthings.” Pei Xin smiled bitterly. “At the end of the day, I’m just another woman to you. You’re interested in me now because you used to like me back then, but I rejected you. You just can’t give that up can’t you. What if one day you lose your feelings for me but 1 need help? Will you abandon me then?”
Li Ze quickly shook his head. “Pei Xin, you know I won’t do that. I’ve been like this for the past five years. My feelings for you are unparalleled. No one will be able to replace your spot in my heart. Not in this lifetime at least.”
Pei Xin shook her head.
“Lu Li and 1 used to say the same thing. We made a vow that we would never be apart in this life. Now, he’s asking me to give my kidney to another girl. He still insists even though he knows that I’ll die if he takes my kidney.”
Pei Xin unintentionally mentioned Lu Li, which made Li Ze frown.
“He wants you to give your kidney?” Li Ze said angrily. “Isn’t five years in prison enough to repay that scum family? You were not the one who instigated the incident. You were just a baby. You’re innocent. Why should Lu Li blame you for everything?”
Pei Xin smiled bitterly at him. “Because I slept with another man and even gave birth to a son. Li Ze, tell me, is Ling Lin really your son?”
“Ling Lin is my son,” Li Ze said confidently as he looked at Pei Xin’s eyes that were filled with longing for an answer.
As he spoke, he turned around and took out a test report from his bag.
“Mr. Chen just gave me this report. Ling Lin is our son.”
Pei Xin picked up the report and saw the results. Her hands trembled slightly after reading the first few lines.
She had found Ling Lin’s biological father. She should be happy. This man was Li Ze, not a random fat-old man.
Yet, for some reason, she felt very anxious and uneasy.
Li Ze held Pei Xin’s hand and said gently, “I didn’t take good care of Ling Lin in the past five years because 1 didn’t know. I should be the one to blame for all your suffering in prison. You want a career and don’t want to rely on a man. I’ll do my best to help you achieve that. 1 just hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you and my son. Let me take good care of you from now on, okay?”
Pei Xin turned her face away to avoid meeting Li Ze’s eyes.
After a long while, she nodded.
Li Ze’s eyes were filled with joy. He was about to hug Pei Xin, but Pei Xin avoided him.
“I haven’t had sex with any man except for the accident at the hotel five years ago.
“The rumors say I’m dirty and cheap, but I’ve never done that kind of thing.
“Five years ago, 1 had sex with you in the same room because I was drugged. 1 was coerced.
“As you said, you were also drugged and didn’t mean to do all of that. We were victims.
“If you want to be with me now, I won’t accept it so easily. I can’t trust, especially men.” Pei Xin looked at him and said seriously.
Li Ze understood Pei Xin’s resistance, so he did not rush her.
Instead, he told Pei Xin that they had plenty of time and he could wait for her as long as she was willing.
Li Ze looked ecstatic — Pei Xin was still the same five years ago..
