Chapter 44: A Little Moved

Fire was wearing a baseball cap. As he approached, he deliberately lowered the brim, then handed the glass in his hands to Qin Ye and said in a childish voice, “Please have some water, Uncle. Auntie isn’t home, so please forgive us for not taking proper care of you!”

Qin Ye narrowed his eyes. This child had been raised exceptionally well! When had Dongfang She ever been this polite to him?

Qin Ye felt a little dejected, but accepted the glass without suspicion and gulped down every drop.

Five hundred yuan for a glass of water from the little one—it was worth it!

“All right, let’s go find Auntie!” Fire took his hand, an eerie smile curling at the corners of his lips.

Qin Ye nodded, bent down, and picked up the child. He even took a close look at his eyes before muttering, “Why does it feel like you’re wearing colored contacts?”

Fire’s lips twitched, but he ignored the question. In any case, once the medicine took effect, Qin Ye would forget this incident—and would not even remember that someone like him existed.

As the saying went, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Mommy and Daddy had not even begun to take shape as a couple yet, so he absolutely could not reveal that he was their illegitimate son. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Fire gave Qin Ye a sympathetic glance. Alas, this sacrificial pawn could only suffer for the time being. Don’t worry—once everything settled down, Fire would certainly make amends for his crimes!

Qin Ye had driven over alone, without anyone else accompanying him, which made Fire breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as they got into the car, Fire took off his cap. Qin Ye leaned over and fastened his seat belt for him, then frowned and studied his face once again.

Strange. Why did his mind feel so hazy?

At Zhongyuan Splendid Residence, Yu Jin had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes, including Dongfang She’s favorites and Fire’s favorites. At that moment, she was simmering soup in the kitchen, staring absently at the blue flames.

What should she do? What if he discovered Fire’s identity?

How was she supposed to explain it?

“What are you daydreaming about?”

Dongfang She appeared beside her at some point and waved a hand in front of her face. Yu Jin was startled, and the spoon in her hand fell straight into the soup, splashing a little broth.

“Ah…” It hurt so much! Yu Jin secretly lamented her bad luck. Ever since she had encountered Dongfang She, misfortune had followed her everywhere.

Dongfang She glanced at her, took her hand, and held it beneath the running faucet.

His hand was large, with a thin layer of calluses across his palm. Yu Jin’s thoughts wandered, and a faint blush rose at the tips of her ears.

In truth, perhaps she had begun to develop feelings for him?

The moment the thought surfaced, Yu Jin broke out in gooseflesh. No, no, no—what was she thinking? How could she possibly fall for him?

He was nothing less than a rapist!

She thought of that night six years ago—a night of confusion, a night of pain, a night filled with screams. He had enjoyed himself, then turned around and forgotten her, while she had been forced to bear far too much…

She had left her homeland, become pregnant before marriage, been unable to return home, and dared not acknowledge her own family…

The color drained from Yu Jin’s face, and even her lips turned pale. She pushed Dongfang She away uneasily and lowered her eyes.

“I’m fine.”

“What a stupid woman!”

Dongfang She took a towel and dried her hand. After scolding her twice, he suddenly stopped and fell silent.

“What’s wrong?” His eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense that her mood had sunk, and that her body was even trembling faintly.

Yu Jin tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Nothing. This is the kitchen, after all. Aren’t you afraid that coming in here will contaminate you, President Dongfang?”

Dongfang She stared into her eyes, feeling inexplicably restless. They reminded him of six years ago.

Damn it!

Before the police officer had taken him away back then, he should have ordered someone to collect the fingerprints and DNA from the room!

Then he would not have had to search for one woman through the vast sea of humanity for so many years.
