Chapter 119 - Reunion



"Peanut…" She whispered with a sad smile plastered on her lips as she stared at the incubator from her bed. She had a hard time walking since her wound below was still healing. No one was there to help her. She could not even use her phone to message anyone since it was taken by her mother-in-law.

She should have been more careful with Han Yizhou last night but she couldn't blame anyone for what happened. No one expected that both Bai Keran and Xu Chen would suddenly arrive. It was a mistake on her part.

Aside from that, it seemed like Bai Keran was gradually showing his hate for her. He didn't protect her when Xu Chen threw harsh words at her last night. Lu Mengjie didn't try to talk back tho. She needed to be patient. If she tried to make a move, both she and her son, Little Peanut, would be put in danger. That was the last thing she wanted.

She heaved out a sigh and raised her head to look at the ceiling. "Bai Keran, Xu Chen… " and whoever was behind, she was not going to sit still anymore. She was going to burn them alive. For now, all she had to do was to be patient. It was not the time yet. She didn't have to rush things. A predator would not rashly jump and attack their prey. They always had to slowly, carefully come close to their prey then lay on the ground for a while, patiently waiting for an opportunity to strike but… she was a chained wolf inside the Bai family. How could she hunt her enemies then?

She was like a chained wolf and… Bai Jingye had the key. No matter how many people tried to stop them, Han Yizhou was going to break her free. Soon. They haven't seen a wolf go wild yet. She was going to bear her fangs to them just to protect the people she cared for.

She closed her eyes and as she did, she suddenly heard voices from outside. From the looks of it, the guards were arguing with someone. Lu Mengjie couldn't make out the words they were saying. One thing was for sure, the man who came, wanting to see her was not Han Yizhou.

She patiently waited until the door was pushed open. She slowly turned her head to look at whoever it was.

Bai Jingye stood in between with another man… Si Hongqi.

She was quiet for a while the moment she saw him. She remembered everything about him, from their childhood days to the times where she tried to pursue him. The man who stood as her pillar during times where she felt lost. He was also the co-founder of the organization she built.

"Mengmeng." Si Hongqi walked past Bai Jingye and hurried to her side.

"Hongqi-gege…" 

Bai Jingye's eyes went wide at the realization that she remembered him.

"You're safe." He grabbed her hand with both hands. "I thought I lost you. I've been looking for you for months!"

Si Hongqi looked like he didn't have an idea about her amnesia but that didn't matter right now. She remembered him so he wouldn't know anymore.

"Gege…" A subtle smile appeared on her lips.

"What happened? How did you end up becoming-"

"Do you know my wife?" Bai Jingye interrupted. He began walking towards them with his hardened gaze.

"Your… wife…?" Si Hongqi paused, remembering Han Yizhou's words yesterday. He cast his eyes at the baby that was inside the incubator before he returned her gaze at him.

"Yes. Bai Mengxi is my wife." His eyes landed on the other man's hands that were holding the woman's hand which made him finally release her.

"Bai Mengxi?" He asked in confusion.

"Ah… it's the name I'm using right now," she quickly replied. 

"No wonder we can't find you." He mumbled before massaging the bridge of his nose. "I never thought that you'll go this far this time. Marrying this man and having his child just because he is your type."

Bai Jingye: "..."

Lu Mengjie: "..."

"I worried for nothing. And here I thought you were kidnapped. I guess you were just mad after what happened back then, huh?" He heaved out another heavy sigh before landing his stare at her. "You should have at least told me. If you're mad, you don't have to go this far. It's a good thing that you're not going to pursue Yong Liwei anymore. You can love anyone but him."

Lu Mengjie didn't know how to react upon hearing his words. Should she feel embarrassed or laugh it out instead?

"Yong Liwei is a bastard. Bai Jingye is better."

Si Hongqi nodded in agreement. "Yes, that Yong Liwei is worse than a scum." He turned to Bai Jingye and slightly smiled. I hope you can take good care of her, Mr. Bai."

"You don't have to tell me about that. That's already a given." He helped the woman to sit up. He even placed a pillow at her back to have her sit in a comfortable position.

"Does your family know about this?" Si Hongqi asked.

Her family… at the mention of them, she lowered her head. She has been recalling a few memories about them. They were a great family to have. It was just… she couldn't bring herself to face them yet.

When Si Hongqi saw how she reacted, he got his answer. "You can't hide this from them forever."

"I know."

"Your father is furious. He's been searching for you… and your men. I still can't help but wonder why Aunt Bingbing and your brother still couldn't find you if you're actually just in this country all this time. They are one of the best people who can find a missing person."

"Except me," Lu Mengjie said, a small smile on her lips. "You know that I'm also as competent as them."
