After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 4

When Pei Yi followed Uncle Kai back to Bo Manor, it was completely dark.

Bo Yueming, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, noticed the sound and turned his head slightly toward the door.

The gazes of the two parties met in mid-air, although one clearly couldn’t see.

“Second Young Master, I have brought Little Young Master Pei back,” Uncle Kai took the initiative to prompt, and immediately glanced around the empty villa.

Ever since the accident happened to Bo Yueming’s eyes, he was less and less willing to let the servants around him serve him.

Bo Yueming took a sip of the warm water in his hand and didn’t have much to say. “You take him up first, and come down later to talk with me.”

“Yes.”

Uncle Kai turned to look at Pei Yi, who was still standing at the door, and thought that he was nervous or scared. “Little Young Master, shall I take you to your room?”

Pei Yi gave an indiscernible reply and followed Uncle Kai up the stairs. He pretended to be unfamiliar and observed everything around him, but in fact, his target was Bo Yueming—

Perhaps being discreet was unnecessary. There was only a small lamp left on in the living room, and the dim light quietly enveloped Bao Yueming, outlining his handsome profile and at the same time imbuing his figure with a trace of loneliness and coldness.

“Little Young Master, the situation of our Bo family and the background of the Second Young Master are a bit complicated.

Uncle Kai’s words brought back Pei Yi’s wandering thoughts.

Pei Yi’s eyes revealed his lack of understanding, but he actually had a clear picture of the relationships in the Bo family—

Bo Yueming’s grandmother, Bo Peizhi, had always held power in the Bo family. She was a well-known strong woman in the Imperial capital circle, and in her hands, the Bo family business not only did not lose half a cent, but it also made it to the top of the nation.

But on the contrary, it was Old Mr. Bo who was the powerful head of the household presently. His original name was Cheng Yangshan, and he joined the Bo family when he was young.

After Bo Peizhi and Cheng Yangshan married, she gave birth to two sons successively. Bo Yueming’s father’s name was Bo Lihong, the second child in the family.

Bo Lihong was quite romantic when he was young. When he went abroad for further study, he met a beautiful young woman. He quickly pursued her and even proposed marriage, but within two years, he broke up with her and returned to China with his suitcase in hand.

Only, no one expected that the woman would discover she was pregnant after the breakup.

She hated that scumbag Bo Linhong, but she still couldn’t bear to harm an innocent life. The child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy was Bo Yueming.

When Bo Yueming was six years old, his mother suddenly disappeared. After some consideration, relatives and friends took the young Bo Yueming to China and sought out the Bo family.

At that time, Bo Lihong had already married and had a child. Facing this sudden extra child, he was naturally angry and refused to own up to it.

After a lot of tossing around, it was finally Bo Peizhi who came forward to recognize this grandson. She gave him the Chinese name ‘Bo Yueming’ and took him to her side to raise him.

Because of this background, no matter how excellent and motivated Bo Yueming was, not fighting or competing, everyone in the first and second branches of the family still detested him very much.

“When the old lady was at home, those people would still pretend to be a decent family. Now that she is lying in the hospital and something suddenly happened to the Second Young Master’s eyes, they are making trouble overtly and covertly…..”

Uncle Kai couldn’t be more angry on Bo Yueming’s behalf, so he subconsciously said a few more words. When he noticed Pei Yi’s confused expression, he changed his words in the blink of an eye, “Little Young Master, come to me if you need anything in the future. Don’t run around the manor, understand?”

So as not to allow his Pei family to seize an opportunity to cause trouble for Bo Yueming indirectly.

Pei Yi understood what Uncle Kai meant, and nodded.

Uncle Kai liked his well-behaved appearance very much, and opened the door with a smile. “Come in, come in.”

When the door opened, Pei Yi discovered that there was a completely different world behind it.

Through the door was a small living room. The Nordic decoration style looked very clean. There was an eye-catching collection of red wine on a large wall, and there were independent spaces extending to the left and right.

“The Second Young Master’s bedroom and small study are to the left. Those are private areas, and you must not go inside.”

Uncle Kai presented the rules and opened the door on the right for Pei Yi. “This was originally an empty room, and it was temporarily changed into a bedroom this afternoon. The Little Young Master will stay here for the time being. If you need anything, you can tell me.”

Uncle Kai didn’t expect Pei Yi to understand everything at once, but in line with the duties of a housekeeper, he explained everything clearly.

Pei Yi silently observed his personal domain. Although it was small, it was complete in every detail and he could still see the garden below the window, which was very much in line with his wishes.

Uncle Kai placed Pei Yi’s luggage at the door of the bedroom. “Little Young Master, do you need me to help you take out these things and put them away?”

Pei Yi shook his head and pulled his suitcase over with a muffled sound.

“Rest here first, Little Young Master. I’ll go downstairs and get you something to eat.” Uncle Kai didn’t doubt Pei Yi’s conduct at all.

After all, it was said that the young master of the Pei family had been reticent and voiceless for a long time, and would only go crazy on occasion when he was stimulated. The muffled sound and nod at this moment fell into the eyes of this older person, clearly well-behaved and pitiful.

He didn’t know what the Pei family was thinking, acting kind on the surface and secretly instigating the nanny to beat and scold the child like that. Deficient people went hand in hand!

Uncle Kai disdained the Pei family’s behavior. Thinking of the task Bo Yueming had given him before he went out, he hurried downstairs after settling Pei Yi in.

. . . . . .

After confirming that the other party had left, Pei Yi’s eyes fell on the black suitcase.

The original owner was neglected in the Pei residence, and all the things that needed to be packed up could not fill this suitcase.

Pei Yi didn’t hurry to unpack it, and only took out a deeply hidden codebook. He stroked the worn cover of the codebook and opened it according to the numbers deep in his memory.

On the title page, there was a line in beautiful font: “Wishing my baby a happy 18th birthday, and joy and safety every year.”

This codebook was a coming-of-age gift from the original owner’s mother.

Pei Yi recalled that it was mentioned in the original book how not only did the relationship between the original owner’s parents not receive the support of Old Father Pei, he opposed it strongly enough to sever the relationship between father and son.

After a few years of marriage, the original owner’s father died unexpectedly, and the grief of an old man burying a younger man caused Old Father Pei to place all the blame on the original owner’s mother!

The two sides pulled back and forth for a long time. Pei Yi, who had just been born at the time, was forced to go to the Pei residence while his sister, who was two years older, stayed with her mother.

Over the years, Old Father Pei never allowed Pei Yi to meet with the mother and daughter, but the soft-hearted Old Mrs. Pei would always secretly arrange for them to get together.

Even when the original owner accidentally became a fool later, this secret connection was not broken.

Pei Yi opened the codebook and read a few of the diary entries in it – scanning them, the handwritten characters looked shaky, but they were logical. Memories that belonged exclusively to the original owner surged in his mind.

Indeed.

The original owner, who unexpectedly became a fool, did not spend all of his time senseless. These diary entries were all written by him when he “recovered his mind” a very small number of times—

Aware of his situation in the Pei residence and the difficulties of his mother and sister outside, the original owner wanted to escape from the Pei residence so that those who truly loved him could live a better life.

It was a pity that before he could think of a way out, he was greatly stimulated by the “marriage” and jumped into the river.

Pei Yi closed the codebook securely, took a deep breath, and re-affirmed his thoughts and plans.

Now that he had transmigrated into this book world and replaced the original owner, he should naturally fulfill the other party’s unfulfilled wish.

As for why he chose to marry according to the plot of the book and enter the Bo family, in addition to wanting to make money secretly with them as a cover, he also wanted to escape from the surveillance of the Pei family and meet the close relatives of the original owner.

Of course, everything had just begun. He couldn’t be hasty.

. . . . . .

The small alarm clock on the desk clicked to eleven o’clock.

After unpacking, Pei Yi lay down in bed. Although he had gone through a series of tossings today, he still had the stubborn problem of having difficulty falling asleep.

Suddenly, there was slight movement in the small living room outside.

Pei Yi hesitated for two seconds, lightly got up from bed, and opened the door to discover—

The night was already deep.

Bo Yueming stood alone before the wine wall in the living room. The decanter on the table beside him still contained freshly opened red wine, emitting an attractive color under the light.

“……”

Pei Yi, who had always been addicted to alcohol, became greedy at once. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

Bo Yueming, who was still swirling the wine glass, seemed to have sensed something, and cast an unseeing glance in his direction. “……Pei Yi?”

Pei Yi’s line of sight finally moved back to his face, and he responded lightly, “En.”

After confirming the other party’s identity, Bo Yueming frowned imperceptibly.

He was accustomed to drinking here alone at night, and now there was another person and another gaze. Even though he couldn’t see it, he would inevitably be uncomfortable.

However, Uncle Kai had already reported Pei Yi’s situation in the Pei residence—

Even the nanny could step on the head of the detested, invisible young master. Such a person could only be regarded as a tool for marriage, and could not be Bo Guancheng’s spy.

At this thought, Bo Yueming stated simply, “Pei Yi, we are only married in name since the elders could not be refused, but there will never be anything further.”

Bo Yueming did not slow down his speech to accommodate Pei Yi’s “stupidity” like others did.

“If you are willing to stay here, you will not be short of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you want to leave, I will never keep you.”

The corners of Pei Yi’s mouth hooked up slightly, and he agreed a hundred times in his heart.

The two parties would ignore each other and not disturb each other. This was also the way he wanted to live.

Among the silence Bo Yueming’s words suddenly changed, like a warning, “There is only one more thing you must hear clearly. You are not allowed to enter my room. If I find out, I will drive you out of the Bo residence immediately.”

Pei Yi glanced in the direction of the room behind him, and found it funny—

Although Bo Yueming, the villain, would recover his eyesight in the later stages, he was unable to see now. Even if someone snuck into the room, they wouldn’t necessarily be found out, right?

Driven out of the Bo residence?

He deliberately said this to scare him, a ‘little fool!”

Pei Yi concealed the upturned corners of his mouth, hiding his interest in obedience. “Husband, I’m good, I won’t go.”

“…….”

Bo Yueming’s severe expression froze. Putting down the wineglass in his hand, he responded uncomfortably, “One more thing, don’t address me like that. It’s getting late, go back and rest.”

After speaking, he turned and went steadily back to his room, closing the door.

Pei Yi couldn’t help but snicker. He quickly approached the wine counter, not in a hurry to return to his room, and picked up the the discarded glass of wine, sniffing it—

The six-figure Kangdi was newly opened, then put away after a few sips.

Rich was rich. This was such a waste of resources.

Seeing the closed door, Pei Yi vaguely muttered, “After all, we’re marriage partners by name, so it’s not too much for me to drink half a glass, right?”

However, it still hadn’t aired out long enough to meet his preferred taste.

Pei Yi had always been very patient when it came to wine tasting. After confirming that Bo Yueming would not leave the room again, he simply leaned against the edge of the bar and waited quietly.

Time passed by silently.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash from the bedroom, and Pei Yi’s unsuspecting eardrums tensed at the tremor.

“……”

Pei Yi hesitantly approached and knocked on the door, but he didn’t get a response. Feeling that something was wrong, he subconsciously turned the doorknob, only to find that the door was unlocked.

The solid wooden door opened easily, and Bo Yueming’s suppressed and restrained muffled voice came out from the half-hidden bathroom door. Certain that something had happened, Pei Yi approached quickly, completely forgetting Bo Yueming’s warning of ‘do not enter.’

He intentionally re-applied the timid and withdrawn mask of the original owner, but it failed the moment he broke into the bathroom. Even his unspoken question vanished.

The bathroom was filled with steam, along with an intimate scene.

Pei Yi stared at everything in front of him, and a thought popped up out of nowhere—

Wa? Oh~

Was this something he could see without paying?
