Chapter 59

Su Qingyue was originally going to find Pei Huaiye to discuss building the house, and also to check his wound.

Knowing that Su Qianqian's words were tricky, she still couldn't help but quicken her pace.

A woman's sixth sense is always strangely accurate.

Su Qingyue knocked on the door, and the person who opened it was indeed a young woman. She seemed to have just woken up, her hair slightly messy, and her collar wide open.

Su Qingyue's pupils shrank. Isn't this the fashionable woman she saw at the department store yesterday!

"Who are you?"

Both spoke in unison.

Su Qingyue's heart was pulled to her throat, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she looked into the room and saw only her.

Where did Pei Huaiye go?

Who is this to him?

When did he leave?

Could it be that she was also in the room last night?

He actually let this woman sleep in his bed?!

Su Qingyue suppressed the series of questions in her heart. She blinked her clear eyes and smiled. "I am Pei Huaiye's fiancée, Su Qingyue."

The moment Su Qingyue appeared, Qiu Lu understood why Pei Huaiye didn't agree to her request for a fake marriage.

This woman was too beautiful.

Although born in the countryside, her skin was actually breakable by a blow, and looking closely, it was as smooth and delicate as a shelled egg.

The light blue dress made her elegant and fresh, yet her figure was hot and exquisite.

With such a beautiful face and an alluring figure, which man could resist?

"I am Qiu Lu, the daughter of Pei Huaiye's benefactor Qiu Zhiyang. I came to find him this time because my father is seriously ill and wants to see him."

The hostility in Su Qingyue's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a wave of sympathy. "Is your father okay? Is he the hunter who saved Pei Huaiye in the cave back then? The predecessor who supported Pei Huaiye's schooling and took him to join the army?"

Qiu Lu hugged her chest and fell into beautiful memories. "Yes, Huaiye brother was less than fifteen when he came to our house, thin and dark, shorter than me. My father asked the nanny to stew chicken soup for him every day, and in less than a year, he grew taller than me.

He was smart and eager to learn. At first, I tutored him, later it was Brother Huaiye who tutored me.

We went to school together, boys often wrote me love letters, and he would fight with them. Later, my father saw that his bones had recovered well, so he took him to join the army..."

The more Su Qingyue listened, the more sour water bubbled up in her heart.

"So it's no exaggeration to say that Huaiye brother and I are childhood sweethearts. After he retired and changed jobs, my father also retired. This time, his old injury recurred quite seriously, and my father hopes to see Huaiye brother marry me before he passes away."

Qiu Lu was already sobbing when she said this.

She choked. "So I came to Xichuan to find Huaiye brother to fake a marriage to fulfill my father's wish, just to let my father rest assured. But Huaiye brother said he was engaged and didn't agree.

Qingyue, my father is his life-saving benefactor! Huaiye brother isn't such a heartless person, he's just considering your feelings.

I know you are a kind girl who understands people, can you help me? Please, let me fake a marriage with Pei Huaiye, and as soon as my father passes away peacefully, we will divorce immediately, and you two can continue to be together."

Qiu Lu begged while crying, and Su Qingyue was shocked.

She moved her red lips, completely not knowing what to say.

"Why are you making things difficult for her?!"

Pei Huaiye's gloomy voice came.

Su Qingyue was startled, looking at the fierce man, thinking he was scolding her, her small mouth pouted, and she almost turned red-eyed.

Qiu Lu cried like rain. "Huaiye brother, can you really not go see Father for the last time?"

Seeing that Su Qingyue misunderstood him, Pei Huaiye gently pinched her palm, hurriedly protected her behind him, and said coldly to Qiu Lu: "You go back! There's no room for discussion on this matter!"

The moment Su Qingyue's small hand was held, she instantly felt steady.

Qiu Lu looked at the small movements between the two and said unwillingly: "Pei Huaiye! Didn't you promise my father you would take care of me for the rest of your life?"

Pei Huaiye was expressionless. "Master is still alive! If that day really comes, I won't let you starve to death!"

Pei Huaiye handed the train ticket to the Capital to her. "You ride to the county town now, you can still catch the last train."

Qiu Lu wiped her tears and didn't even look at the ticket. "Pei Huaiye! You are truly cold-blooded and heartless!"

After she finished speaking, she left angrily.

Taking care of people wasn't the only way to get married. Pei Huaiye had seen through Qiu Lu's intentions last night.

She said it was a fake marriage, but actually, she wanted Pei Huaiye to be a 'happy father'.

Qiu Lu cried last night saying Qiu Zhiyang was afraid he wouldn't make it, saying her father's greatest wish in this life was for his daughter to marry Pei Huaiye, because Pei Huaiye was his own apprentice, and he believed his character would make his daughter happy.

Master had indeed said this before, but Pei Huaiye had refused many times, so he didn't force it anymore. Pei Huaiye believed in Master's character and knew he wouldn't use kindness to force repayment.

Qiu Lu didn't want to leave after crying last night, so Pei Huaiye packed his things with a cold face and drove the bull cart to the county town.

He made several calls at the base and sent telegrams overnight, getting the information that Master was still healthy, and rushed back to the village early in the morning.

"It turns out Master just had a gout attack, it's an old problem, it's easy to recur when drinking. It's not as serious as Qiu Lu said."

Su Qingyue didn't understand. "Then why did Qiu Lu use her father's illness to lie to you?"

"She isn't Master's biological daughter either, she has always been unscrupulous to achieve her goals. Master and she don't know about my job after changing jobs, she thought I was just a second-level fitter.

I found out that she went to the Health Center for a prenatal checkup after arriving in the county town. It turns out she has been pregnant for four months.

If I'm not mistaken, Master doesn't know she's pregnant. She just wants to find someone to marry as soon as possible to cover up the facts. If I really go back, she might use some means to make me fall into the trap, then make Master believe it, and force me to marry."

"Then she can just find anyone, why travel thousands of miles to find you for a fake marriage?"

Su Qingyue's jealousy bubbled up uncontrollably. "She also said you studied and did homework together, and you even tutored her..."

Su Qingyue puffed up her small face, her pink lips opening and closing, saying sour things with grievance.

A beauty's anger always has a different style.

Pei Huaiye pulled her into the room, took off the sheets and quilt covers and threw them aside, immediately putting on brand new ones.

"She cried last night saying she had nowhere to go and insisted on staying here. I drove the bull cart back to the base, Yuan Guang can testify. Let the construction team use these sheets and covers later."

Su Qingyue felt much better when she heard him say this. She glanced at Pei Huaiye with her dark eyes, opened her small mouth, and said sourly: "She also said you fought for her!"

Pei Huaiye held Su Qingyue on his lap, kissing the top of her hair, and explained patiently: "She was deceived by a hooligan when she was dating him. To vent her anger, she deliberately said I liked her. The hooligan came to the door, and I fought every day to protect myself. Master found out, so he sent me to join the army."

The fabric of the dress was soft and thin, and the contact point was extremely hot.

Su Qingyue could feel the solid and powerful thigh muscles under her, and even... could feel it, and for a moment, she was so shy that her heart beat like a drum, and her face turned red.
