The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 She Can Also Have a Home Chapter 117: Chapter 117 She Can Also Have a Home His breath was somewhat scorching, and his breathing gradually grew rapid. The warm airflow fell on Qingwu’s neck.

“Let go, or I don’t mind giving you a beating!”

Pei Jue was a bit helpless, chuckling as he said, “I know my fiancée wants to spar with me, but right now it’s a bit anticlimactic.”

Anticlimactic?

She was being held entirely in his embrace, unable to move at all, and he had the nerve to say it was anticlimactic?

If it weren’t for the fact that the old house’s structure was still unstable after repairs, Qingwu’s fists would have landed long ago!

Pei Jue placed his hands around her slender waist, exerted some strength, and lifted her onto the bed.

The room wasn’t lit, but Qingwu’s bed was somewhat high. Pei Jue sat on the floor, looking up at her slightly.

His eyes seemed to be filled with an endless moonlit night, merging with the bright moonlight outside the window, turning into indescribable tender affection.

“Let’s just sleep like this, since grandma’s room is grandma’s, let’s not disturb her, okay?”

He appeared here, and it was just for her!

Since he said so, Qingwu had no choice but to lie down again.

The moonlight outside was intense, and she slept dreamlessly through the night.

Qingwu watched Pei Jue, who was still asleep beside her, quietly got up, and went out to the courtyard to answer the phone.

“Boss, Shen Zhongshuang and that scar-faced guy are about to cross the border, should we continue the chase?”

“Chase, don’t let anything happen to him.”

“We’re investigating the address Tarzan provided, something seems off.”

Qingwu frowned, “How is it off?”

“According to the imprisonment timeline, the person we’re looking for might be Tarzan’s other brother…”

The fake Tarzan who was caught dealing with the Drug King at X Bar?

“Check all surveillance from that night, I want to get more information on that person, inform me immediately if anything comes up.”

Ye Zhi agreed and hung up the phone.

Qingwu stood in the courtyard, the early morning mountain breeze was gentle and clear, so she simply started doing Baduanjin exercises to adjust her body.

After finishing a set, she exhaled a long breath.

“Fiancée still likes practicing Baduanjin? Grandpa likes it too, you can practice together in the future.”

Qingwu turned around and met Pei Jue’s gaze.

He didn’t know when he woke up, but he had been watching her every move from her room’s window.

Qingyuan was just an old house in a mountain village, the ceiling wasn’t as high as the Shen Mansion’s, so even from the second floor, it seemed close at hand.

Pei Jue directly climbed out of the window, jumped into the courtyard with one hand supporting on the tiles, and his movements were fluid and graceful, quite a sight to behold.

He approached Qingwu, lowered his head, and touched Qingwu’s forehead with his own.

“Good morning, fiancée.”

“Can you use another title?”

In just one night, roughly the entire mountain village must know she brought back a fiancé.

“Too many people call you Xiaowu, if I also call you that, you wouldn’t remember me.”

Pei Jue smiled and straightened up.

“The unloved always like to be unconventional; please understand my apprehension.”

He had spoken up to this point, so if Qingwu said anything to reject him, she would seem unreasonable.

She turned her head to see Old Ma’s head sticking in through the doorway, “…Uncle Ma, morning.”

Old Ma walked in from outside with several steamed buns and placed them on the small stone table in the courtyard.

“Miss and Master got up so early, it’s good to be early…”

Up so early, so nothing happened last night?!

Old Ma suddenly felt guilty towards Mrs. Lin because he had promised her last night that he would make sure things happened…

Could it be the master wasn’t quite up to the task?

As Old Ma thought this, his gaze at Pei Jue became somewhat strange.

“Miss, are you and the master leaving today?”

“Yes, I need to return to Beijing to pick up grandpa from the hospital.”

Old Ma nodded, “That’s good, master should also visit the hospital for a checkup… no, I didn’t mean anything else; it’s just that the Qian Family heard you came back and insisted on seeing you.”

The Qian Family lived in the city, so reaching the small mountain village from there took some time.

“What do they want with me?”

“Isn’t it just about Qian Duo, heard he lost quite a bit gambling recently, who knows what he’s scheming now.”

Speaking of the Qian Family, Old Ma’s temper soured.

“Back then, it was their scheming that took you away and prevented Mrs. Lin from leaving to find you, she nearly cried her eyes out!”

Old Ma got worked up recalling past events.

Back then, the Qian Family eagerly awaited something to happen to Qingwu, so Qian Yueqiang could have a chance to bear a second child and have a son.

Who knows how many heinous schemes they concocted for that!

Qingwu quietly ate the sauerkraut buns made by Old Ma’s family, saying nothing.

If it hadn’t been for the Qian Family taking her away and secretly throwing her over the border back then, she wouldn’t have been found by the people from Beidou Star!

All the darkness she experienced began from that moment.

On the day she returned, Mrs. Lin didn’t ask anything, just held her hand and wept bitterly.

Even so, Lin Jingsheng never cared, even though at that time, she was still considered their child.

It was from then on that she thought she was without a home.

When Mrs. Lin passed away, her home completely dispersed.

The person who loved her the most in the world had left!

But now, the Shen Family gave her a sense of warmth, and she realized that someone like her could also have a home…

Old Ma was still ranting indignantly.

“Those people are wicked, last time they even wanted to sell Qingyuan, as if this house has anything to do with them!”

“This house?”

“Yes, when the Qian Family heard this house was sold, they didn’t know it was bought by your family but kept thinking about getting a share of the money from selling it, especially since Qian Duo recently owed three million in gambling debts.”

Qingwu understood; the Qian Family claimed to want to sell Qingyuan, but they only intended to cause trouble.

“All the money is with Lin Jingsheng, what does it have to do with me?”

Old Ma was fuming, “Oh, my dear miss, they obviously want you to marry into their family, using the three million as the dowry! Who can’t see through the Qian Family’s shallow schemes!”

So that’s how it was.

Having had no dealings with the Qian Family for many years, Qingwu truly didn’t know what was in their minds.

“I see, Uncle Ma, don’t worry about this. We’ll leave after breakfast; just lock up the courtyard after we’re gone.”

She noticed the surveillance cameras installed by the Shen Family in inconspicuous corners of the courtyard.

If the Qian Family forced their way in, they’d face consequences.

“Right, right.”

After breakfast, Pei Jue opened the car door for Qingwu to get in and exchanged a few words with Old Ma.

After he got in the car, Qingwu turned to him, “What did you say?”

“I asked for a picture of grandma so that she can witness our wedding in the future.”

Qingwu was a bit surprised.

He actually thought of even such details… she had never imagined her own wedding, but if it were to happen, she would definitely want grandma to witness it.

With a series of operations, the sports car transformed into a helicopter. The massive sound of the rotors stirred the fallen leaves and osmanthus from the ground, leaving Qingyuan behind with only a shadow.

Qingwu softly murmured in her heart, “Grandma, I will come back to see you next time.”

Pei Jue seemed to know what she was thinking and smiled faintly.

“We will come back, I will come with you.”
