Xing Yichen's heart was beating fast. This time, his desire to know the truth surpassed the humiliation the video had given him.
Xing Wanshuang didn't expect Xing Yichen have this kind of reaction. But, after seeing his hastiness, she said earnestly, "I happened to see Ye Peicheng's car when I drove past Qiao Moyu's apartment building. He was going to drive into the residency area, but he stopped suddenly. After that, I saw Moyu holding a kid's hand. It seemed like they had just finished shopping at a nearby supermarket. From there, they got into Ye Peicheng's car."
Xing Wanshuang added another two sentences, "The child was a little boy. I couldn't see his appearance because his back was facing me, but it was very strange because I never heard that Qiao Moyu had a kid before. Where did that kid come from?"
Xing Yichen can only hear the buzzing sound inside his head. He remembered that nearly three years ago, Qiao Moyu had disappeared from his life for about half a year. Before that happened, she would always appear in front of him and bother him.
At that time, he only felt the tranquility without her presence, so he didn't care that much.
But now thinking back, Qiao Moyu seemed to be a little chubbier when she came to find him again after her disappearance.
To be more precise, her chest was bigger. The V-neck dress that she wore on that day made him even more agitated, so immediately kicked her out.
At that time, she said to him, "Brother Yichen, if I have your baby and bring him to see you, will you marry me?"
He had sneered at her and said, "You can't have my child, and even if you did, I will never marry you!"
The spark in her eyes suddenly disappeared. That was the first time she had quickly left him without causing a scene.
Xing Yichen withdrew from his thoughts; he couldn't explain his feelings at this moment.
He didn't remember having sex with Qiao Moyu three years ago. The only time they spent time together was when Qiao Moyu locked the two of them in a warehouse together for a night.
That night, he did fall asleep for a period of time. Could it have happened at that time? It shouldn't be, he wasn't dumb enough that he didn't know whether or not he had sex with her!
Xing Yichen was puzzled, but when he thought of the Qiao Moyu from three years ago, he was 100% certain that she would not betray him.
Now, he only wanted to know the truth from her! His heart was broken by her from the conversation in the basement garage from before, but now, his heart warmed up again.
Ye Peicheng's villa was brightly lit with lights.
To make Qiao Moyu and Luo Luo feel more comfortable, the chef and the servants had all left after serving them food. In the spacious dining room, only Ye Peicheng, his father, Qiao Moyu, and Luo Luo remained.
"Luo Luo, what do you like to eat? Grandfather will get it for you!" Right now, Father Ye knew for sure that Luo Luo was his actual grandson, so he loved him dearly.
Luo Luo had long seen the cuttlefish meatballs, so he pointed at that. "Grandfather, Luo Luo likes that!"
His voice was soft and because he also addressed Father Ye as 'grandfather.' Father Ye's heart immediately softened at the words.
Therefore, Father Ye quickly grabbed a few for him. "Luo Luo, eat slowly. Don't burn yourself!"
Qiao Moyu's phone suddenly rang.
She stood up and picked up her phone from the tea table on the coffee table by the side. She directly hung up after seeing it was Xing Yichen who called.
When she returned to her seat, Qiao Moyu heard Ye Peicheng talk. "Father, I plan on familiarizing myself with our company."
Father Ye was grabbing sliced beef for Luo Luo when he paused his action on his chopsticks after hearing his words. He turned around. "What did you say?"
Ye Peicheng turned around too. He said in a serious and determined tone. "Father, I thought about it. The entertainment circle is not suitable for me to stay for a long period of time. So, when I finish shooting the movie you invested in, I will officially retire from the entertainment circle."
Ch.171
Although Father Ye had been looking forward to these words for a long time, he didn't expect to actually hear it from his younger son one day!
Even though Ye Peiqing was his son too, after all, Ye Peicheng was the son of his beloved. Plus, he had no mother from a young age, so Father Ye had loved Ye Peicheng dearly.
Although he had the heart to train him to inherit the family properties, Ye Peicheng always took a different stance from him. As a result, he had a very tense relationship with his young son.
Yet today, he was actually able to hear Ye Peicheng say that he wanted to inherit the family properties!
Father Ye's lips trembled and his eyes stung. "Peicheng, have you decided?"
"Mm." Ye Peicheng nodded his head.
"Okay!" Father Ye's heart surged with emotions. "Starting tomorrow, whenever you have time, I will bring you over to familiarize yourself with the company matters."
However, Ye Peicheng shook his head. "Father, I temporarily can't go to the company yet. Right now, there are a lot of people from older brother's side there and I don't want the family to be on bad terms. So, you can give me the company's information and I will first familiarize myself with that."
Actually, he had considered this thoroughly these past few days. He wanted to protect Qiao Moyu and Luo Luo so he must have the power to defeat Ye Peiqing.
In the past, he was indifferent about the company's matters. He wasn't afraid of Ye Peiqing nor did he care for the family to get along because there was no one that he would want to work hard for by his side.
Now that he had a wife and son, he clearly had to support them.
Qiao Moyu who had just sat down was a bit shocked by the news. Originally, she thought that Ye Peicheng was just casually saying it. After all, the novel's original ending was that Ye Peicheng had never left the entertainment circle.
Was he really retiring from the entertainment circle because she said that she didn't want a boyfriend within the entertainment circle? She felt disbelief and was uncertain about her reasoning.
After they finished eating, Qiao Moyu was about to clean up when Ye Peicheng stopped her and told her that the servants will come later to clean up.
Ye Peicheng then carried Luo Luo up. "Luo Luo, uncle will bring you to play on the slides."
Luo Luo was curious. He looked at Ye Peicheng with his grape-like black eyes. "Uncle, there are slides in the house too?"
Ye Peicheng nodded his head. "Mm, Luo Luo will be able to see it right away."
As he said this, he carried the little guy to the kid's room.
He had his assistant set up the kid's room recently. Since all the furnishings were safe, they could move in right away.
In the room, there were slides, swings, and a small maze built by tubes.
When Luo Luo walked into the room, he was dazzled by the sight. He quickly let go of Ye Peicheng's hand and ran in happily.
'Uncle's house is great. It was like an amusement park in his house!'
Father Ye stayed with Luo Luo to play while Ye Peicheng brought Qiao Moyu to tour the other rooms.
"Moyu, this is my bedroom and the other two rooms are the guest rooms." While Ye Peicheng said this, he picked up the spray bottle in the room and walked to the balcony to water the flowers.
Qiao Moyu followed him to the balcony. She stood there as she looked into the distance.
The area around here was filled with villas, so none of the buildings were high. As the light illuminated the building and the greenery surrounding it, it gave off a surreal feeling. The scenery almost made them forget that they were in the imperial city where the land was extremely expensive in that area.
Qiao Moyu looked up and saw that there was another floor, so she asked, "What's the floor above for?"
"It's a gym." Ye Peicheng said, "When Luo Luo grows a little bigger, I will teach him how to exercise every day."
When Luo Luo grows a little bigger? Qiao Moyu's brain became short-circuited, does he mean...
Perhaps he knew what was on Qiao Moyu's mind, Ye Peicheng put down the spray bottle and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Little Moyu, do you like it here?"
Qiao Moyu smiled and said, "Your house is very big and beautiful!"
"This is our home." The dim light of the night fell onto Ye Peicheng's eyes as he embraced her tightly, as he stared at it. His gaze seemed like it could pierce right into her heart.
His voice was calm as he said, "In the future, you will be the mistress of this place."
Ch.172
At this moment, the two people were very close to each other; Qiao Moyu could clearly feel Ye Peicheng's heartbeat. Inexplicably, she became flustered by this as her face flushed red. She tried to change the subject by saying, "Are you really going to retire from the entertainment circle in the future?"
"Yeah." Ye Peicheng's other hand gently brushed away the loose strands of hair on Qiao Moyu's face. "Little Moyu, I promised you that I will protect you and Luo Luo."
He leaned closer to her ear and said, "I will pull my brother down!"
Qiao Moyu was surprised, perhaps it was because when he spoke, his lips had accidentally touched her ears. Electric current tingled throughout her body which made her stiffen. She didn't know how to respond.
She didn't know why she would transmigrate to this world. Was it because she owed a favor to the original host of this body?
Then, if she became the Film Empress, will she return back home?
If she transmigrated back home, what would happen to Luo Luo? Will Ye Peicheng be sad?
This was the first time she felt depressed, even though it was something she was looking forward to, she was hesitant about it right now. However, it wasn't something she could decide. Qiao Moyu looked up at Ye Peicheng; the depth of her eyes reflected Ye Peicheng's shadow. "Don't be like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to repay you in the future."
"Okay, it's enough for me if you stay with me," Ye Peicheng said as he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
This wasn't the first time he had kissed her, but Qiao Moyu was flustered like it was her first kiss.
Her lips had Ye Peicheng's scent on them. His kiss was much gentler than before, and this gentleness made Qiao Moyu even more panicked.
Ye Peicheng finally let go of Qiao Moyu after a long time. As if he was pushing her, he nibbled on her lips and said, "Little Moyu, you aren't taking this seriously."
After he finished speaking, he pushed Qiao Moyu into his embrace.
At this moment, Luo Lou's voice can be heard from the room next door. A child's happiness seemed to have the ability to infect everything.
Ye Peicheng stroked Qiao Moyu's hair. "Little Moyu, if you found out that I'm hiding something from you one day, please don't get angry at me. I'm doing this for our future."
Qiao Moyu didn't understand him, so she looked at him in confusion.
He lowered his head and kissed her.
She was clearly thinking about Luo Luo's unknown father. Ye Peicheng still hasn't told Qiao Moyu that he was aware of the truth yet because he wanted her to be with him out of love, not because of their child. Secondly, he had a suspicion that the drink he had drunk that night had been poisoned.
Now that he entered the Ye Corporation, he must investigate the whole situation.
Previously, the result he got from the investigation was that the hotel workers in the hotel delivered the drink to the wrong room, but it seemed like that wasn't the case. There had to be some unspeakable truth behind it. Before the truth is discovered, he cannot expose Qiao Moyu and Luo Luo to the public.
That night, Luo Luo had a good time. On their way home, he even said that he wanted to go to Ye Peicheng's house again tomorrow.
Due to Ye Peicheng and Qiao Moyu's busy schedule for recording the show tomorrow, Father Ye said that he will tell his assistant to bring Luo Luo over.
When they returned to the residential area, Ye Peicheng drove Qiao Moyu and Luo Luo to the underground parking lot. He planned to leave after walking them to the elevator, but then...he saw Xing Yichen's car.
This person, how did he still have time to find Qiao Moyu after being cheated on by his girlfriend? Ye Peicheng wrinkled his eyebrows. When he saw that Qiao Moyu didn't notice Xing Yichen, Ye Peicheng got off the car. He carried Luo Luo onto his arm and held Qiao Moyu's hand, "I'll bring you guys up."
Qiao Moyu didn't suspect Ye Peicheng, she thought that Ye Peicheng only wanted to accompany her a little longer.
The three of them arrived at their floor, they saw Xing Yicheng standing by the corner of the elevator after they came out from the elevator.
He was wearing a suit, it seemed as if he had just finished attending a conference. His eyes dilated when he saw Ye Peicheng hugging Luo Luo in his arms!
