BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45 - 45: Be My Lover
Pei Xin lowered her head and hugged herself tightly.
“No, no one is worthy of my eternal trust. Only those who are in my grasp are the strongest.
“I’m grateful to you for taking care of me. You provided me with a place to live and a job.
“I will work twice as hard to help you, but I can’t rely on being someone else’s lover.
“Even if everyone thinks I’m cheap and dirty, 1 know very well that I’m innocent.”
Li Ze frowned.
“Innocent?” he asked. “Then where did your son come from?”
Pei Xin lowered her head and explained, “I was tricked into my room by Ling Xue. 1 was forced to bed. I was drugged. 1 don’t even know who that man was at that time. I struggled and asked for help, but no one came to save me.”
Li Zeyan’s eyes turned slightly.
Back then at the banquet, Pei Xin was discovered in her room with her clothes disheveled.
However, the man who had sex with Pei Xin was nowhere to be found.
At that time, this matter was widely reported by the media, and Pei Xin was called a sl*t.
Even though everyone pressed her, Pei Xin still refused to say who that man was.
Back then, he had also been drugged and had sex with a woman.
However, he knew that that person was not Pei Xin. When he woke up, he was the only one in the room. His head was hurting because of the drug.
During that time, Pei Xin had already been caught in bed.
It would have been impossible for them to be in the same bed.
Now that he had heard Pei Xin say this with his own ears, Li Ze’s eyes were wide open. Pei Xin did not say who this man was because even Pei Xin herself did not know.
“Don’t you want to know who Ling Lin’s father is?” Li Ze asked Pei Xin.
“Ling Lin?” Pei Xin suddenly raised her eyes, her expression carrying a rare hint of excitement. “Do you know who Ling Lin’s father is? Do you know the truth of what happened back then?”
“I drank a glass of wine at the banquet too that year,” Li Ze said.
“Someone spiked the wine. After that, I was rushed into a room and had sex with a woman. The lights weren’t on in the room at that time, so 1 didn’t know who that woman was.
“After we had sex, I thought I was being set up, so I left the room immediately.
“So Pei Xin, it’s very likely that 1 had sex with you at that time. There’s a very high possibility that I could be Ling Lin’s father.”
Pei Xin’s body trembled and she lost her balance, almost stumbling down.
Li Ze quickly helped her up. “Why? Are you disappointed to know that 1 might be Ling Lin’s father?” he asked coldly. “Pei Xin, five years ago, you didn’t like me, but now, I should be more than enough for you.”
Pei Xin lowered her head and pursed her lips. She was feeling a lot of emotions right now.
If Ling Lin’s father was Li Ze, it would be a good thing for Ling Lin. With Li Ze as his biological father, no one would dare to bully Ling Lin anymore.
However, she knew Li Ze’s character very well. Li Ze was a playboy, and he always had a different woman by his side.
Li Ze was keeping her by his side now, perhaps because Li Ze wanted to have what he deserved five years ago.
Once the novelty wore off, Li Ze would give up on her.
More importantly, she did not like Li Ze.
Pei Xin felt her heartache, but she also felt a little disappointed.
She had a feeling that Li Ze was not Ling Lin’s father.
However, the stories did match up. Li Ze was also present at the banquet. No matter what the purpose was, it was possible that Li Ze might have done it with her.
Rather than having sex with some low-class man, it would be better if this person was Li Ze.
Anyway, she was already despised by everyone and lived in Hell every day. If Ling Lin’s father was Li Ze, she could die in peace if she left Ling Lin in Li Ze’s care.
Thinking of this, Pei Xin changed her mindset.
She took a step back and distanced herself from Li Ze. Then, she said to Li Ze, “Please give me a strand of your hair. I would like to have a DNA test. If the report proves that you are indeed Ling Lin’s father, then we can discuss this matter again.”
Li Ze was so angry that he scoffed. “Do you think you’re worth that much time? Do you think I’m in a hurry to get myself a son?”
Pei Xin lowered her head. “I know I’m not worthy of you. You even let me be your lover because you think highly of me. I also know that many women in Haicheng want to be your lover. However, people have different pursuits. I want to find Ling Lin’s father, not my lover. I will never trust men again..”
