MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 100
Standing in front of her was a very beautiful middle-aged woman, wearing an ordinary plain skirt and wearing an ordinary pocket watch on her left hand.
Even so, it is difficult to hide the charm and strength of her body.
There are already wrinkles on her face, but the visual impact of those eyebrows and eyes is still very strong.
It can be said that Bo Yueming's eyebrows and eyes are almost carved out of the same mold as hers.
During the brief silent confrontation, Pei Yi already had an affirmative answer in his mind.
No wonder Bo Lihui's expression just now was as chaotic as if he saw a ghost, and no wonder Bo Yueming changed his previous calm and calm, and wanted to take him away.
The brown-haired woman in front of her is probably Bo Yueming's biological mother who "has disappeared for a long time" and "whereabouts are unknown".
Pei Yi quickly suppressed the shock in her heart, and immediately paid attention to Bo Yueming's emotions, "Second brother, she..."
At the same time, the brown-haired woman stepped up eagerly, "Ryan."
Bo Yueming withdrew abruptly, but he replied in standard English, "Go away! Don't call me that!"
In an instant, his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, staring closely at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, like a severely traumatized lion, showing its most wary and sharp side.
"..."
Such an out-of-control state not only frightened the brown-haired woman, but also made Pei Yi who was by her side feel extremely worried.
Seeing Bo Yueming's resistance, the brown-haired woman had no choice but to stop her steps. Her tears burst into tears instantly, so she had to cover her face with her hands to cover up her gaffe.
After about four or five seconds, she suppressed and said the first sentence, "I'm sorry."
"Ryan, I'm sorry, I, I'm…"
Bo Yueming closed his eyes and tried to find a fulcrum on the verge of losing control, "I said, I don't have this name, you mistook me for someone."
The brown-haired woman tried to take a half step forward, choked up, "But I can't mistake someone, Ryan, no—"
"Bo, Mr. Bo."
She switched to broken Chinese, with a plea that was about to overflow, "Shall we chat? Even if it's just five minutes!"
A passerby waiter saw this scene, probably knowing Bo Yueming's identity, and began to look over frequently.
Pei Yi was afraid that the incident would alarm Mrs. Bo, so she used her other free hand to comfort Bo Yueming.
"Second brother? Shall we change places?"
"unnecessary."
Bo Yueming knew that he would not be able to hide this trick from anyone, so he said resignedly, "I'll just ask you three questions, you just need to tell me the truth."
"As long as there is a slightest concealment, then there is nothing to talk about between us."
Seeing him change his words, the brown-haired woman nodded hastily, "Okay! You, you ask!"
Bo Yueming stared at the ring on her ring finger, "Are you married?"
The brown-haired woman noticed his gaze, and involuntarily squeezed her right hand wearing the wedding ring, "Yes."
Bo Yueming got the expected answer, and asked word by word, "Do you have any children?"
"..."
The brown-haired woman didn't expect him to ask these questions when she came up. She was silent for a long time before opening her mouth, "...Yes."
When Pei Yi heard this answer, her heart throbbed suddenly, and the hand that was tightly held by Bao Yueming had already been numb due to too much force.
Bo Yueming's eyes drooped slightly, a wry smile overflowed and he retracted it.
The brown-haired woman watched his every move, and was eager to step forward to explain, "It's not what you think! Listen to my explanation—"
But before he could say an explanation, Bo Yueming's tone changed completely, and he asked the third question.
"Are you willing to come to me now because you know that I have taken over the Bo Group and asked for money from me?"
Cold, guarded, like scrutinizing strangers.
The brown-haired woman opened her red eyes as if being shocked by an electric shock, "Of course not! I never thought of that!"
When Bo Yueming got the answer, he was indifferent to her anxiety, "Well, I'm done asking, and I don't want any additional explanation from you."
"There is no need to change places between us to talk again. Good luck, see you soon."
After finishing speaking, he took Pei Yi and took a quick detour, leaving behind only a determined back.
The brown-haired woman looked at Bo Yueming's determined back, but couldn't help covering her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other, and wept silently against the nearby wall.
…
Bo Yueming and Pei Yi wandered around in the parking lot unconsciously. After searching for a long time, he didn't know where he was going.
Pei Yi stopped and broke free from his restraint, "Second Brother!"
Bo Yueming took a quick breath, feeling a little confused, "Huh?"
Pei Yi hid her hands that were clenched blue, and walked around to the other side to hold Bo Yueming, "Go this way, Lin Zhong and Lao Fu are waiting for us."
Bo Yueming nodded.
The two finally found the location of their pick-up car.
Pei Yi knew that Bo Yueming's emotions would not recover in a short while, so he signaled with his eyes the old Fu and Lin Zhong in the car to get out of the car first, and then he closed the door heavily.
boom!
The sound of the car door closing made Bo Yue's bright eyes sway, and he tried to pretend that nothing happened, "Why don't you let the old Fu and the others get in the car, aren't you tired? Go back and rest early."
"No rush, I'm not tired."
Pei Yi stopped Bo Yueming from trying to fasten his seat belt, approached his lover actively, and reached out to caress the other's eyebrows all the way to the side of his face.
Then he apologized solemnly, "Second Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stopped you just now."
If it wasn't for his momentary intuition and curiosity, Bo Yueming wouldn't have asked three more questions. If he had known that he would get the first two answers, he should have taken the initiative to lead the person in front of him away from harm.
After all, the biological mother, who had disappeared for twenty years, reappeared in a way that had never been thought of, and no one could be completely indifferent.
Pei Yi knew that Bo Yueming had to be strong-tempered, and knew that the other party would hold back and keep silent like he did when he was a child, but he didn't want this to happen.
Some wounds will rot in your heart forever if you don't say it and throw it out.
Pei Yi lightly rubbed Bo Yueming's face with her fingertips, and signaled in a low voice, "Second brother, I'm the only one now."
"If you are unhappy, if you feel uncomfortable, you can say it, don't hold it in your heart."
"..."
Bo Yueming caught a glimpse of the "color difference" between Pei Yi's hands, put them back into his palms, and changed the subject with gentle stroking.
"Did I hurt you by pulling too hard just now? Why didn't you make a sound and struggle?"
"It's okay, it will recover in a while."
Pei Yi didn't say a word about the numbness of her fingers, but kissed his forehead at close range, and brought the topic back with a loud voice.
"Second brother, what do you think now? Tell me, please?"
"..."
Bo Yueming's eyes were still focused on Pei Yi's hands, rubbing them slowly, "I have no idea, she has her lover and children, and I also have you and grandma."
Frustration flashed across his eyes, but his tone was very flat, "Since she didn't come here for money, it would be great. We are strangers to begin with, we live our own lives."
Pei Yi frowned worriedly, he knew that Bo Yueming was running away, let alone telling the truth.
It's just that with the old scars accumulated in his heart, if his lover is unwilling to speak up, he really dare not take the initiative to ask, lest he touch deeper hurt.
Seeing that Pei Yi's hand had finally returned to its original color, Bo Yueming bowed his head and kissed it lightly, "Let Lao Fu and Lin Zhong come up, I want to go home."
"good."
Pei Yi clasped his fingers tightly, softly and firmly, "Let's go home."
…
It was already past eight o'clock when the group returned to the main house.
There was such a sudden twists and turns before going home, even though Bo Yueming pretended to be calm, Pei Yi still saw through the gloomy pain hidden deep inside.
After taking a quick shower, he came out of the bathroom, walked to the wine wall and proposed, "Second brother, do you want some wine?"
You know, Bo Yueming has always been responsive to his requests, but this time he chose to quietly refuse, "Little cat, go to bed early tonight, okay? Didn't you say you were tired? I also want to go to bed early today."
The detective who hadn't seen his master for a long time jumped onto the end of the bed excitedly and meowed at Pei Yi.
Bo Yueming was afraid that Pei Yi would be unhappy, so he promised, "Wait until tomorrow, I will drink with you again tomorrow."
Pei Yi didn't want to put extra pressure on her lover, so she responded with a smile, "Okay."
Five minutes later, the two of them put together their clothes and lay on the bed after packing up.
Pei Yi took the initiative to slip into Bo Yueming's arms, showing her dependence without hesitation, "Second brother, I miss you very much."
The corners of Bo Yueming's mouth finally curved slightly, "I miss you very much, too."
The two seemed to have reached an extra tacit understanding, they just hugged each other quietly, and neither of them broke this rare silence together.
Maybe it was because the arms of the person in his arms were too stable, or maybe it was because the continuous work was really tiring, Pei Yi fell asleep without knowing it.
Drowsy and drowsy, Pei Yi dreamed of herself when she was a child—
It's just that this time he broke away from the familiar environment, and came to a small but warm bungalow.
He saw a little boy curled up on the sofa alone, staring at the clock on the coffee table without blinking.
I waited from day to night, and from night to dawn, until I couldn't control my fear and cried bitterly.
"Second brother!"
Pei Yi suddenly woke up from her dream, only to find that there was no one beside her bed, and the electronic clock on the bedside table was still jumping by the second.
The seemingly lengthy dream, but only occupied two or three hours in reality.
Hearing the movement on the bed, the inspector came over, and gently tugged Pei Yi's pajamas twice with his mouth, then jumped out of the bed again, and squatted obediently by the door of the master bedroom.
"Meow~"
It seems to be reminding something.
Pei Yi understood the meaning of loving pets, and quickly got out of bed and opened the door of the room. After he saw the situation in the small living room clearly, the remaining sleepiness was replaced by the overflowing heartache.
In the small living room, there are empty wine glasses on the bar counter, and there is still a trace of alcohol in the air.
Wearing thin pajamas, Bo Yueming stood alone in front of the open window, as if praying that the night would drown his sorrow and loneliness.
Suddenly, Pei Yi thought of the little boy curled up on the sofa waiting for his mother to come home.
Even though he knew that the dream just now was just a fantasy fabricated by himself, he still couldn't help but fuse these two figures, big and small, into one.
Pei Yi stepped forward and hugged her lover from behind, "Second brother."
Bo Yueming reacted belatedly, but didn't turn around in time, "Did I wake you up?"
Just listening to the voice, with a trace of unnatural choking.
Pei Yi could no longer "deliberately ignore", he walked around in front of Bo Yueming, raised his head and kissed him proactively.
The slightly cool lips and teeth smelled of wine, and there was a hint of saltiness in the sucking.
Bo Yueming's steady breathing was finally completely out of order, revealing a choked sob that had been suppressed for a long time, and he spoke vaguely during the kiss.
"I-I thought she was dead."
"..."
Pei Yi trembled with the distress, he let Bo Yueming sit on the sofa, and he just stood and hugged his lover tightly.
"Second brother, I know you're uncomfortable, I'm here with you, don't hold back, okay?"
Bo Yueming wrapped his hands tightly around Pei Yi's waist, as if he was hugging his last straw, "I thought, I thought I had forgotten her appearance."
But when the other party really appeared, the childhood memories came over like a mountain avalanche, and the always strong Bo Yueming couldn't resist at all.
He hopes that he can act like a normal person, but after nightfall, his emotions are complicated and spread, and he can't stop thinking about it.
"Pei Yi."
"I am here."
"I always thought that I was a burden. It was I who dragged her down. She lost her studies, career, and freedom. She really couldn't hold on to it before giving up on me."
The mother in Bo Yueming's memory was a gentle woman, and his grandmother once said when she was still alive—
When she was young, Cynthia was just like the meaning of her name. She was the moon high above, a goddess admired by many people. She could play the piano and dance, and she was an excellent person.
Back then, Bo Lihong got it from the envy of many people, but he didn't cherish it at all.
After the breakup, Cynthia knew that she was pregnant by accident, but at that time, Bo Lihong had already returned to China, and there was no possibility of redemption between the two of them.
In order to keep the innocent Bo Yueming, Cynthia had to drop out of school and go home, but everything was not as easy as she imagined?
If there were parents to help during pregnancy, then not long after giving birth to Bo Yueming, her biological father passed away.
Without a pillar in the family, Cynthia knew that she couldn't just drag down her grieving mother blindly.
She had to go out to work by herself, but if she has a baby and hasn't graduated, where can she find a job she wants?
During this period, the ridicule and contempt Cynthia received was even more numerous.
The hands that used to play the piano were soaked in the dirty sewage from washing dishes, and the soul that could have danced was trapped in the mother's body.
So day after day, year after year.
"I know that I dragged her down, and even dragged down her last sliver of life, but she still couldn't bear to part with me, so she walked on the road of no return alone."
For all these years, Bo Yueming felt an indelible guilt in his heart.
He remembered the cold sea breeze on his birthday that year, and also remembered the indifferent back of his mother Cynthia when she left, everything was imprinted in his heart.
Pei Yi felt the dampness from the cloth, and felt even more sad.
Bo Yueming confided in a low voice, "During the two years when I first arrived at Bo's house, I expected countless times that she would come back to pick me up..."
After a long time, he knew that he couldn't wait.
Bo Yueming didn't relax the strength of his embrace, his voice still hid the rare cry and fragility, "I never thought that I would have a chance to see her again in this life, let alone—"
"She has a whole new family and a baby"
Bo Yueming didn't know how to explain his complicated psychology. He was glad that his biological mother was still alive in this world, but he was powerless to hate that the reality was different from what he wanted.
"I don't understand, since she is living in this world well, why hasn't she been willing to come back and look at me for twenty years?"
"Do you hate me too much, or have you forgotten me at all?"
When seeing another child, will the other party think that there is another child waiting for her to appear in Huaguo? Want to know if he's doing well?
Pei Yi lightly rubbed Bo Yueming's head, hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, she hasn't forgotten you, and it's impossible for her to forget you."
If Cynthia had forgotten, she would not have appeared in front of them like this today.
As a bystander, Pei Yi could see that the other party's emotions were also not feigned guilt and collapse.
"..."
Bo Yueming smiled wryly, but his heart was still haunted by puzzlement.
Since it can be hidden for twenty years, why is it appearing now? Why not just hide from him for the rest of his life?
At least that way he'd be able to fool himself—
The mother in memory once gave him all her love without reservation, instead of putting the love he longed for on another child.
Pei Yi knew the question in Bo Yueming's heart, "Second brother, let me ask you clearly on your behalf, okay?"
Whether it is love or hate, it must be based on the most basic understanding of the facts. Pei Yi does not want her lover to live in the mist and continue to suffer.
Bo Yueming let go of his hug to Pei Yi and shook his head slightly, just like what he said in the car—
They have already started different lives, and they should not disturb each other.
It was cool at night.
Pei Yi was afraid that Bo Yueming might catch a cold if he drank alcohol in a low mood, so he brought his lover back to the master bedroom, and took the initiative to bring a hot towel to cover his face and wipe his hands.
Bo Yueming looked at Pei Yi who was doing all the work for him, and finally his heart was gradually warmed up again.
"Pei Yi."
"Um?"
"Are you going?"
"..."
Pei Yi didn't expect Bo Yueming to ask such a question suddenly, and was taken aback.
It was rare for Bo Yueming to ask stubbornly, "Will it be?"
In fact, Bo Yueming never mentioned it to Pei Yi, and Cynthia's sudden departure in his childhood also left an indelible shadow in his heart.
Over the years, he always woke up suddenly in the midnight dream. After dating Pei Yi, this "fear" has not diminished but deepened.
Every time, Bo Yueming has to make sure that his lover is still sleeping in his arms, so that his restless heart will gradually calm down.
Bo Yueming knew that Pei Yi's past also had hidden wounds that were hard to mention, so he didn't dare to ask, but in the end he could only force himself.
But right now, he couldn't help but confess his fear, "Pei Yi, one day, will you leave me as suddenly as she did?"
Affected by the fresh water, those pupils, which were already pretty, looked even more pitiful.
Pei Yi stopped thinking about pouring hot water, and hugged Bo Yueming again, "I won't leave, I won't leave you, I won't go anywhere."
The word "forever" is hidden in the three consecutive promises.
Bo Yueming tightened the strength of his hug, and his emotions were more intense than usual due to alcoholic fermentation, "The kind that will accompany me for the rest of my life?"
Pei Yi knew that Bo Yueming had been waiting for her real response, "Well, the kind that spends a lifetime with each other."
If it is said that grasping the present moment is the beginning of feelings, then once the love is deep in the bones, who would not long for it for a lifetime?
Pei Yi took a deep breath and seemed to have made some major decision, "Second brother."
"Um?"
"Would you like to hear my story too?"
