It was undoubtedly a form of attack against the R Nation headquarters.

Besides, the chieftain had already fled.

The newly-appointed leader, Qin Guo, could not be compared to Pei Yi at all in terms of competence. Although the headquarters constantly reassured the members that nothing would be affected, they could not help but feel afraid and anxious.

Regardless of what went on in the outside world, Pei Yi and Jing Chu were completely clueless about the situation. They did not wish to find out anyway, lest they bring themselves unnecessary woes and trouble.

Ever since they moved to their new home, they had been living peacefully in bliss.

Their daily routine consisted of collecting eggs, feeding the pigs and cattle, and harvesting vegetables. In their free time, the three of them would play cards to kill time or do whatever they wanted.

Four months later, they heard a sudden, vigorous explosion that lasted for a long while before ceasing.

Jing Chu initially thought that the forest was about to be bombed. However, Pei Yi told her clearly that the sounds of explosions came from several kilometers away.

After a few more explosions, the sounds finally ceased.

Sensing that something was amiss since he remained silent for the entire day, Jing Chu asked, Do you want to go out to take a look?

Shaking his head, he said, I dont intend to do that. I was just thinking about all the misdeeds that the haughty DK Organization has done for so many years. In order to sustain peace on the surface, the nations have been refraining from dealing with DK. They mainly didnt want to cause the loss of too many lives either. I reckon theyve decided to go toe-to-toe against DK this time in order to completely annihilate these terrorists. I couldnt tell you this before I left the organization, but now that I have, I can tell you. The DK members are extreme terrorists who are anti-life. They should be annihilated.

Jing Chu held his hand and said, From now on, these will be none of your concern. I was initially worried that you wouldnt be able to adjust to life here. I was surprised to hear that you can adapt. Master Pei, I think its great that we can live here in peace from now on. Well move back to civilization once theres world peace. No one will remember who Pei Yi is anymore. Its great that we can now live the life that I had always dreamed of.

Pei Yi held Jing Chu in his embrace and kissed her. I love you. Thank you for forgiving me and living with me. Thank you, Honey.

You dont have to thank me. I forgave you only because of our son. Dont think that I did it for you.

He pinned her onto the bed and asked, Dont you love me at all?

Im not telling you.

No, I want to hear it from you. Do you love me or not?

I said, Im not telling you.

Pei Yi began tickling Jing Chu, causing her to wiggle uncontrollably. Unable to tolerate it anymore, she had no choice but to say, Okay, okay, I love you. Please let go of me.

He grabbed her arms and kissed her gently. Just as things were getting passionate, the wooden door was opened by Pei Ling, who sat on the ground with a sullen expression on his face. Daddy, youre bullying Mommy again. Go away!

Do you still want a younger sister?

Yes.

Go look for Fat Lass, then.

Okay.

He crawled out of the door and said, Daddy, Mommy, you guys may continue.

Jing Chu and Pei Yi looked at each other before bursting into laughter.

A short while after Mu Wansheng left, Fan Shixin received a notification from the bank that informed him that Mu Wansheng had transferred him some money.

It was a sum of 150 thousand dollars.

It covered her medical bills, living expenses, as well as the 100 thousand dollars that he had lent her.

She had even sent him a text message.

It was brief and concise.

Ive already transferred the money to you. Chief Fan, youre a good man. Ill always remember you as my life savior. Ill eternally be grateful to you.

Fan Shixin replied, Take good care of yourself.

He did not send anything else afterward.

They had also stopped contacting each other since then.

Although they lived in the same city

Although they had each others mobile number

Although Wu Pingyang and Mu Wansheng were cousins, Mu Wansheng had never met Fan Shixin again.

Wu Pingyang had no idea why Fan Shixin had never mentioned Mu Wansheng or asked about her again.

He had never run into her during his occasional visits to Wu Pingyangs grandfathers home either.

They had truly parted ways and disappeared from each others lives.

The next time he heard news about her again was a short while after his 31st birthday, and Xiao Bai was the bearer of the news.

Guess who I saw at the mall today?

Stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry and tell us. Who did you see?

Xiao Bai put on a mysterious smile and said, Ms. Mu. Shes getting engaged.

Fan Shixin was rather sleepy at the time and was sipping on some coffee. Upon hearing the news, he paused in his actions and sobered up immediately.

He asked, Which Ms. Mu?

Who else could it be? Chief, its that Ms. Mu who stayed in your house last time. Did you forget? I saw her coming out of a jewelry store with her fianc in the shopping mall, so I approached her to say hello and she told me that she was getting engaged. Heres the catch. Do you have any idea who her fianc is?

Xiao Huang could not stand how mysterious he was being. He snapped, Just tell us everything in one go. If not, you may keep it to yourself. Stop keeping us in suspense.

Xiao Bai patted him on his shoulder and said, Look how impatient you are. Her fianc is Luo Xing, the son of the man who struck it rich from selling furniture.

Oh, I see. Its a bit of a stretch to say that he had struck it rich. He just managed to earn some money, said Fan Shixin.

Chief, although the Luo family is just an upper-middle-class family, theyre considered to be very wealthy in the eyes of average citizens. Besides, the Mu family has gone bankrupt long ago whereas the Luo family business is gradually expanding. Theyre considered to be compatible in terms of status and background.

Fan Shixin slammed his cup down onto the table and quipped, That Luo Xing is a Casanova. He remained single even after dating for six years. Why would he be genuinely serious about her?

Noticing the sullen expression on Fan Shixins face, Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang looked at each other in shock and dismay.
