Because I simply love you - Chapter 442
“That is not true!” Pei Yuan yelled at the top of his voice. “The Liu family is behind it! They killed my Mom, and now you are living with a man who is a murderer!”
Nana squinted her gaze. “Don’t say anything against Jinhai.”
Pei Yuan suddenly grabbed her by her shoulder. Nana widened her eyes and struggled. “Pei Yuan!”
His gaze darkened in a dangerous light. “Why? Why? Why!? Why do you like Jinhai so much? I will give you everything you want! I am not any less than him! Choose me! I love you, Nana. I love you from the moment I saw you! I wanted you since then! I don’t care about if you are married or have those…children. L-leave him and choose me. We will have our own family.”
Nana struggled again and pushed him off. “No!”
“Why not!?”
“Because you are not Jinhai! There is only one Liu Jinhai in this whole world, and I only love him! Nobody can take his place. Nobody can make me feel like he does. Why don’t you understand? You cannot force your feelings on me.”
Pei Yuan was frustrated. He thought that everything was under his control. He waited for so long till today when Liu Jinhai was finished! He had nothing with him anymore that could make Nana like him. Yet she wanted to be with him.
He thought this was the weakest point in Jinhai’s life, so Nana would willingly accept his love now that Jinhai was ruined entirely.
Nana glared at him. “And you say you like me? If you liked me, then you wouldn’t have tried to come between Jinhai and me. You wouldn’t have sent Tang Ning and Tang Feng in the banquet to attack me!”
Pei Yuan froze. He looked at her in a daze.
How can she know? Does she know the truth about me? That’s impossible! The Tangs wouldn’t have said anything!
“I don’t understand…” He panicked and was nervous.
“No. You understand everything. You sent the Tangs to the banquet. Do you have any idea how close my children were to getting killed by her?”
Her eyes teared up.
“Do you know that Tang Ning was so close to killing them? In front of me! My children, who I had patiently waited for nine months to welcome in this world, were going to leave just like that! They…they are so small Pei Yuan…They were crying and crying, and I couldn’t do anything. Do you know how I felt that night? I thought I would lose them forever! Is this what you call love?”
Pei Yuan felt as if somebody squeezed his heart. He couldn’t tolerate her talking about her children so lovingly. They were another man’s children, after all!
“You are misunderstanding Nana. How can I do all those things? I don’t know about Tang Ning or Tang Feng personally. I just heard about them.”
Nana said, “Then how do you know Bai much about me? How do you know what Jinhai did? About the custody? How can you know so many inside details? How can a simple food blogger know so much about the Liu family or me?”
Pei Yuan gritted his teeth. “Nana, you are not understanding! I am just trying to tell you that Jinhai isn’t right for you!”
“And what makes you think you are?” Nana raised her voice. “If you could hurt my Jian and Nian, then how can you say that you are right for me? You already know that I love somebody else, yet you are forcing me to choose which I don’t want to!”
“Stop it!” Pei Yuan screamed at the top of his voice. His patience ran out, trying to talk to her and make her understand.
“STOP IT! Stop talking about that bastard and those disgusting children-”
*SLAP*
A deafening silence ensued.
“Don’t you dare curse my sons. Don’t you dare say a word against them.” Nana completely snapped the moment she heard him cursing Jian and Nian.
“Don’t challenge my patience anymore, Pei Yuan.” Her voice was deadly serious. “You have talked enough, and as much as I could, I tried to resolve the baseless misunderstanding that you believe until now – be it your mother’s death or my feelings for Jinhai.”
Pei Yuan froze as her hand harshly slapped his cheek. He stood rooted and dumbfounded at his place.
He slowly raised his head and looked at her in shock. “Nana…”
“Don’t call me that! I am Mrs. Liu Nana for you. Remember it. We are not close enough for you to call me by my name.”
She slapped me…she slapped me…for that bastard Jinhai she hit me…
Suddenly, Pei Yuan burst into laughter. “Hahaha!”
Nana narrowed her eyes at his sudden change.
“You slapped me for that bastard! Me! Pei Yuan!”
A dangerous glint flashed past his eyes. “I called you here today so that I introduce you to my mother as my future wife. I wanted you to meet her. Do you know how much have I waited for this day to confess my feelings? So I don’t care what you feel, but you have to be mine today! I have done so much for you just so that I make you mine. And you will be!”
Nana said, “You are crossing your limits, Pei Yuan! I already cleared everything I had to. We don’t have anything more to talk about.”
Pei Yuan chuckled. “Don’t have anything more? Of course, we have so many things. We have to talk about our future together. We have to talk about our marriage, what house do to want to live in, how you want the wedding, how many children you want-”
“Enough!” Nana screamed. She felt utterly disgusted by Pei Yuan’s behavior. She could hardly believe that he could go to such lengths.
Nana turned to leave, but he caught her wrist.
“Pei Yuan. Let me go! What are you doing?”
He shook his head. “You can only be mine, Nana. I waited for you, and finally, you are so close to me. After all this time, I cannot let you go. You have to be mine. Only mine!”
Nana tried to struggle free from his grasp.
Pei Yuan laughed. “You cannot leave Nana. I will take you with me where nobody will ever disturb us. So what if you like Jinhai now? Don’t worry. You will come to love me one day. I will make that happen. We will be happier than you ever imagined it to be with Jinhai.”
Nana was furious and felt an urge to slap him again. “You have lost it, Pei Yuan! This is kidnapping!”
“You will understand it one day, Nana. You are angry at me now but I am doing everything for your happiness.”
“My happiness is with Jinhai and my children, not with you!”
“I will change it.” He smiled. “Let’s leave this country and settle abroad. A change of place will make you feel better. What place do you want to go? Amsterdam? Germany? New York? Wherever you say.”
Pei Yuan was dangerously stepping closer to her one step at a time.
Nana warned. “Stay away, Pei Yuan.”
Just as he was about to drag her out, a hand came from behind that grabbed Pei Yuan’s wrist and shook it apart from Nana’s.
Somebody suddenly turned Pei Yuan and punched him straight in the gut.
Pei Yuan widened his eyes and coughed blood before he collapsed on the floor.
“Jinhai!”
Nana jumped into his embrace. Jinhai immediately hugged her back and kissed her forehead. “I am sorry I am a little late.”
Nana buried her face in his chest and hit him on it. “You were almost too late! He was just about to take me abroad!”
Jinhai smiled. “I would have brought you back from the depths of hell. What is abroad? And nobody can take my wife as long as Liu Jinhai is there.”
Nana softly smiled.
Pei Yuan coughed again while he kept watching Nana and Jinhai hugging each other.
“Liu Jinhai…what the fuck are you doing here?” He yelled.
Jinhai narrowed his eyes. “My wife is here. Why shouldn’t I be here?”
He sneered. “Your wife? She is mine! Nana is only mine! She doesn’t love you! She doesn’t want to live with you.”
Jinhai coldly smiled. He clutched his hair and punched him on his face. It was so sudden that Pei Yuan couldn’t block it at all. They heard a crack sound as his nose broke and blood gushed out of his nose.
“Ahh…”
A bloodthirsty aura surrounded Jinhai. “This is for trying to touch my wife.”
Jinhai raised his leg and kicked him on his abdomen.
“Ahhh…”
“This is for putting her and my son’s lives in danger on that banquet night.”
He dragged him up and ruthlessly twisted his arm until his bone fractured.
“Ahhhhh!!!!” His eyeballs popped out of his sockets. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and he clenched his jaw as a sharp pain shot in his arm.
“This is for kidnapping my son’s in the mall and endangering their lives once again.”
Jinhai raised his knee and landed a solid knee uppercut on his back.
He stumbled and almost fell.
“This is for trying to impress Nana at Natsukashi, who is MY wife.”
Then he turned him and punched his knuckles on his chin hard that almost knocked him out.
Jinhai’s voice was sinister as he spoke, “This is for confessing your disgusting feelings to Nana and daring to take her by force.”
