After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 84
Pei Yi was secretly happy all the way to the car.
Bo Yueming closed the car door, helpless and doting. “Is it worth being so happy?”
“Of course. Although I feel a little bad for Pear Garden and Yan Cen, my brother is finally no longer thinking only about the two of us.”
Pei Yi put on his seatbelt, still respecting and appreciating Qin Yishun in his heart. “My brother’s eyes, ah, they’re really sharp.”
The saying that an older brother was like a father was really true.
Qin Yishun knew that he and Li Yuan had not had an easy time growing up, and was also aware of the true chaos within the wealthy families of the Imperial Capital—
Therefore, he always treated his two little brothers wholeheartedly, and did not want them to be hurt in any way, even emotionally.
Bo Yueming gave a heartfelt sigh. “Truly sharp. Sometimes I’m frightened when I see him.”
The pressure from his brother-in-law was truly something that ordinary people couldn’t bear.
Pei Yi couldn’t help but laugh, teasing, “I think my brother should go be the dean of a school. If there are any students in puppy love, he will catch them right away.”
Bo Yueming smiled and shook his hand gently. “Sit down, I’ll drive you to dinner.”
“En.”
The car slowly left the hospital parking lot.
In the already dark night, the illuminated signboard with the words “Inpatient Department” on the top floor looked even more cold and empty.
Pei Yi recalled everything he had seen in the ward. “Er-ge, I’m not trying to curse him, but the old man probably won’t be able to survive this.”
“A person who used to be so impressive is now covered in tubes and so thin that he’s lost his shape.”
Pei Ruzhang and Deng Xiuya, the only two people left in the ward, were probably only there for “face” and “property.”
This person had lived a lifetime, and no one cared about him in the end, so what was the point?
Pei Yi thought of another thing. “But it’s strange, was Pei Huan really kicked out of the Pei family? Then where is he now?”
“I saw Pei Ruzhang’s attitude in the ward just now. Have you been putting pressure on the Pei family behind the scenes?”
Bo Yueming said, “Pei Huan left the Pei family at that moment a year ago. Do you still remember how Bo Guancheng knew about my eyes?”
Pei Yi was gently nudged by his lover’s words, and reacted.
At first, Pei Huan didn’t want to lose the protective umbrella of the Pei family, and was also afraid that Bo Yueming would be unfavorable to him, so he tried to get rid of him using the hands of Bo Guancheng and others.
But in the end, he was completely annihilated and failed to succeed.
“I’ve already reported this to Grandma. At the time I took sides, I dealt with everyone in the main branch, whether heavily or lightly.”
In that fight with the Bo family’s main branch, the innocent Pei Yi was implicated and even injured. Bo Yueming had secretly dealt with all the relevant people severely, including the Pei family and Pei Huan.
He hit the Pei family’s property hard about a year ago. As for Pei Huan, he tried to use the contacts accumulated from being a rich young master, but it was a pity—
No one dared to help him any longer.
The cold looks and ridicule that Li Yuan received in the past all fell on Pei Huan today.
“Pei Huan has a proud and arrogant character. Won’t he be less able to withstand such a blow than Li Yuan back then?”
“That should be the case.”
Bo Yueming worried that Pei Huan would hold a grudge and take revenge on Pei Yi, so he continued to send people to watch his every move.
“I heard that he asked An Yang to transfer all the shares of Dawn Games to him last year, but not long after he got it, he transferred it to someone else and cashed out.”
“……”
When Pei Yi heard this, he scoffed speechlessly. “He ran away? He was so disdainful of Dawn Games before, but then he turned around and took all the benefits?”
“What about An Yang? How did she react?”
‘The wrong child’ Li Yuan had worked hard for so many years, but the ‘biological son’ Pei Huan was able to turn around and sell the company.
Comparing the before and after, wasn’t it kind of ironic?
Fortunately, they separated YWY Studios early on, otherwise they would still be in turmoil.
“Xiao Li didn’t tell you?”
“Tell me what?”
“Pei Huan took the money and ran away without a trace. An Yang was mentally stimulated and taken back to the mental hospital for treatment. Yan Cen came forward to help with the matter over the New Year.”
“……”
Pei Yi responded with silence for a while. Instead of blaming his friend for hiding it, he completely understood.
Li Yuan likely hid it deliberately in order to not trouble his friend. He had suffered a foot injury during that period and was unable to get around, so naturally, Yan Cen took advantage of this opportunity to show off his performance.
It was likely that the relationship between the two began to gradually develop at that time.
Pei Yi asked, “Have the verdicts of Bo Guancheng and the others come out?”
“The first trial will be at the end of the month, but according to what the lawyers said, Bo Lihong will get upwards of five years.”
“In addition to Bo Guancheng’s two intentional injuries to both me and you, the police also discovered that Li Gui intentionally caused serious injury and death to someone last year, and Bo Guancheng was the mastermind behind it.”
Pei Yi’s eyes filled with shock. “What?”
Bo Yueming had only heard the news when his lover was on the business trip to Haishi. “Do you remember that the Bo family originally had a servant named Zeng A-Kai?”
Pei Yi frowned and gave it some thought. “Is that the person who deliberately poured hot tea on your hand before?”
He still remembered that when he crouched in the woods and beat Bo Guancheng wildly that night, the other party was talking secretly with this Zeng A-Kai.
“En.”
Bo Yueming told him the general news he had learned. “Because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, he drove A-Kai out of the Bo family, but the other party in turn extorted hush money and compensation fees.”
“Bo Guancheng refused, and asked Li Gui to take care of him.”
According to Li Gui’s confession, he and his two younger brothers just wanted to give Zeng A-Kai a beating and make him suffer, but they didn’t expect the latter to fight back!
In the back and forth, they caused his death.
“Bo Guancheng’s case has not yet reached the first trial, but the sentence is expected to be very severe.”
Old Mrs. Bo was completely disappointed in her eldest grandson. In the end, if he did something wrong, he should be punished.
Pei Yi shook his head slightly, and thought of another person. “What about Cheng Yangshan? How is he?”
Bo Yueming drove the car into the exclusive parking lot of the shopping mall restaurant. “He’s reached an age where he can’t be judged, but Grandma is determined to divorce him and kick him out of the house.”
Pei Yi thought of what Cheng Yangshan had done to the old lady. “That’s going too cheap for him!”
Bo Yueming replied, “I also thought it was too cheap for him at first, but Grandma said that not letting him stay in jail and die of old age was the real suffering.”
Pei Yi was taken aback. “Huh?”
“In prison, he would have three meals a day and be under the supervision of the prison guards. The most that could happen was that he would be cursed at by the other inmates. Even if he got sick, he would have to be treated on a humanitarian basis.”
Bo Yueming told his lover Old Mrs. Bo’s original words. “He won’t be subject to excessive sentencing due to age restrictions, but after getting divorced and leaving the house—”
“The Cheng family who once relied on him will probably shun and avoid him, and the well-known figures in the Imperial Capital will have to give the Old Madam face.”
In other words, Cheng Yangshan had no support at all.
He had relied on the Bo family for decades to make a living, and in his later years, he had no money and no place to go.
In the future, if he got sick as he grew older, he would not necessarily have anyone to take care of him. It would likely be a thousand times worse than prison, and he would eventually have to accept the fact that he would grow old and die alone.
Pei Yi imagined this scene and sighed. “Sure enough, the Old Madam saw the situation clearly and dealt with him ruthlessly.”
Bo Yueming added, “Grandma’s soft side is reserved only for those who are worthy. Cheng Yangshan is not worthy, and the same goes for Old Mr. Pei. They both deserve their fates.”
Pei Yi nodded, and responded out of nowhere, “Er-ge, we will definitely not be like them when we grow old. When the time comes, we’ll either find a nursing home where we can live with peace of mind, or find someone we can trust…..”
Pei Yi’s train of thought was interrupted, and he couldn’t help but look sideways. “Why are you smiling?”
Bo Yueming took his hand and said, “Kitten.”
Their eyes met.
Pei Yi saw deep affection and a hint of incomprehensible joy in Bo Yueming’s eyes. “Huh? What is it?”
Bo Yueming kissed the back of his lover’s hand and said with a smile, “This is the first time you’ve mentioned the future to me since the two of us got together.”
“…….”
Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, and reacted belatedly. He was full of uncertainty about relationships, and almost never thought too far ahead about a relationship.
Bo Yueming knew of his concerns and agreed to accompany him. ‘One more day, one more month, and one more year’ had passed by, so he just thought that ‘one more day, one more month, and one more year’ would be good.
Since when did he actually subconsciously think about and imagine the future?
“When we both grow old—”
How many days, months, and years would it take to pave the way for this casual statement?
“I-I just said it casually, that situation is really too far away.” Pei Yi inexplicably turned tail. “I can’t think about it…..”
“You can think about it.” Bo Yueming interrupted his self-doubt. “Why can’t you think about it?”
Pei Yi didn’t know how to answer this question, and dropped his gaze uncertainly.
Bo Yueming unbuckled his seatbelt and moved closer to him. “You still don’t have confidence in me?”
Pei Yi shook his head. “That’s not it, I have confidence in you.” It was due to this confidence that he subconsciously said those words.
Bo Yueming continued to inquire, and the joy in his tone was gradually replaced by seriousness. “Then are you afraid I will change my mind? Or are you afraid that you will change your mind?”
Pei Yi was anxious. “I couldn’t! Could you?”
Bo Yueming answered swiftly, “Neither could I.”
Pei Yi’s breath trembled, and he couldn’t help but embrace Bo Yueming. “I, I don’t like this kind of hypothetical question. Can you please not ask things like this in the future?”
Bo Yueming sensed his lover’s suddenly tense body and emotions. Regret immediately covered his features, and he comforted him in an apologetic voice, “Okay, it’s my fault.”
“I’m sorry, I was too anxious and said the wrong thing.”
“……”
Pei Yi didn’t answer, and couldn’t explain why he was in a low mood.
Bo Yueming continued to coax him, “Pei Yi, I’m just telling you that we can imagine what will happen in the future, and you can also have expectations for our relationship.”
Pei Yi replied very quietly, “If you have too many expectations, you will be disappointed, and you can’t predict what will happen in the future.”
He could be greedy in his career, but he couldn’t be greedy emotionally. Once people’s greed crossed the line, they would lose their sense of proportion and even lose themselves. That was what happened to Father Rong.
Pei Yi knew Bo Yueming loved him, but he was afraid that no matter how strong his feelings and love were, they would burn out one day, just like Father Yan’s.
“Pei Yi, I won’t fail your expectations. Do you believe me?”
“I do.”
The instinctive response came with a hint of unspeakable grievance at the end.
Bo Yueming grabbed the tail of his thoughts and said, “Kitten, I understand your concerns. Expectations that are too far in the future will take time to be proven.”
“In that case, let’s change the angle.” Bo Yueming spoke more and more gently. “Do you want to be a little closer to your ‘expectations?’”
Pei Yi repeated, “Closer to my expectations?”
Bo Yueming kissed his earlobe and said, “For example, how do you expect to spend the weekend with me the next two days?”
Hearing this, Pei Yi thought about it seriously.
He raised his eyes to look at his lover in front of him and replied, “If I said I just wanted to stay in bed with you, wouldn’t that be pitiful?”
On a winter weekend, when he didn’t have to go to work, what could be more comfortable than a warm bed?
Bo Yueming laughed in spite of himself. “Surely you must be a kitten? Thinking about staying in bed? You’re just like Inspector.”
Pei Yi scoffed. “Wasn’t it you who asked me? I can’t even tell the truth?”
“All right.” Bo Yueming kissed his forehead. “We’ll go home after dinner, and I’ll stay in bed with you for the next two days, okay?”
Pei Yi’s tense nerves relaxed, and he asked with a smile, “Don’t you Bo’s work on Saturdays?”
Bo Yueming noticed his lover relaxing, and continued to tease him, “I’m the chairman, and can occasionally escape from headquarters. If necessary, I can just stay in bed and work on the computer.”
Pei Yi was happy. “Grandma can’t hear about this.”
Bo Yueming took the opportunity to kiss his lover’s lips. “Pei Yi.”
“En?”
“I said that the two of us would live day by day, month by month, and year by year, so let me add another sentence—”
“You can expect things from our relationship, even if just a little bit.”
It may be too far away to talk about ‘getting old’ now, so they would look forward to closer things.
“This weekend we can stay in bed together, next weekend we can go to the hot springs together, and when the next holiday comes, we can also go out to play or stay at home together.”
“You can expect anything, you can tell me anything, from near to far, from now to the future.”
“As long as you say it, as long as you want it, I will do it. You have to believe in me, okay?”
Pei Yi tried his best to suppress his stinging eyes and smiled, leaning forward for a kiss. “Okay.”
He already believed in him. Even in his most pessimistic thoughts—
In a relationship with limited time, Bo Yueming’s love for him was infinite.
Pei Yi put his gloomy mood behind him and said, “Er-ge.”
“En?”
“I’m a little hungry.” Pei Yi said seriously, “I’m looking forward to eating with you now, is that okay?”
Bo Yueming grasped the back of his neck and said, “Of course, Little Sir.”
. . . . . . .
In the heated master bedroom, Pei Yi leaned back in Bo Yueming’s arms, the quilt blocking an indescribable scene.
The skin of his arms exposed outside the covers was red, and his fingertips gripped the pillow tightly.
Bo Yueming kissed his cheek and said, “Relax.”
Pei Yi’s breath trembled and he begged for mercy, on the verge of losing control. “Don’t…..stop making trouble…..”
The moment the words fell, he suddenly lost his strength.
Pei Yi was like a fish that had landed on the beach and was about to die of thirst, letting Bo Yueming use his other hand to turn him over.
Bo Yueming kissed his burning face and said, “Little Sir, have you recovered?”
Pei Yi’s Adam’s apple rolled. He retracted his head into the quilt, then poked it out again within two seconds, his face turning even redder from the smell.
“It’s all your fault.”
When Bo Yueming heard his new catchphrase, he laughed out loud. “Why are you blaming me again? Who is the energetic one so early in the morning? Who was it so early in the morning who…..”
Pei Yi stretched out a hand to block his question, and admitted defeat. “I-I was so confused by your good looks that I couldn’t help it, okay?”
Although he stayed in bed for two days over the weekend, Bo Yueming didn’t want to “squeeze” him dry.
The two of them fell asleep watching a movie the night before.
Pei Yi accidentally woke up early today and couldn’t go back to sleep, so he started fooling around with his lover, who was still dreaming. Then he was caught by Bo Yueming and “executed on the spot,” which had ended just now.
The alarm clock on the bedside table finally rang.
Pei Yi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. “You, you can find a way to deal with it yourself! Today is Monday, I can’t waste time with you.”
Bo Yueming took a deep breath to suppress his impulses, and cursed lovingly, “You’re so heartless,” before patting his lover’s arm. “Get up and wash. I’ll take a shower and change the sheets later.”
“The big bathroom is reserved for you, you’re welcome!”
Pei Yi wrapped his bathrobe tightly around his body and rushed to the bathroom in the room next door, where he also abducted Inspector, who was sleeping in the cat’s nest.
Bo Yueming allowed the “culprit” to leave, and reluctantly got up and entered the bathroom.
When Pei Yi returned to the master bedroom after washing, he was still thinking about the gurgling water in the bathroom.
He imagined the scene inside and snickered, then poured himself a glass of warm water and sat on the bed in high spirits.

His phone vibrated and lit up, and the caller ID was Li Yuan.
Pei Yi picked up the phone. “Hey, Pear Garden.”
Li Yuan’s voice was filled with a rare trace of anxiety. “Pei Yi, ah, you finally answered the phone! I just called you four or five times, but you didn’t answer, and you didn’t reply to the WeChat messages I sent you.”
When Pei Yi heard this, he quickly glanced at the display on his phone, and his eyes changed slightly. “I just woke up and went to wash. What happened?”
Li Yuan made a long story short. “There have been several revelations on the Youtu Netizen Exchange Forum, pointing out that there is something wrong with the list of winners of the original game design competition.”
“…….”
A problem with the winners list? Someone did use a back door.
They had also expected that this matter would cause a disturbance, but if this revelation had come out directly about Ke Ming and Chanming Studios, Li Yuan probably wouldn’t be so anxious.
Pei Yi quickly figured out the difference and asked seriously, “What did the news say?”
Li Yuan felt for a moment that he couldn’t explain clearly through the phone. “Let’s do it this way. I’ll send you all the posts directly in chronological order. It will be more intuitive for you to see for yourself.”
“Then come to the studio as soon as possible, and we’ll talk in person when you get here.”
Pei Yi nodded. “Okay.”
The two quickly hung up, and the bathroom door opened at the same time.
Bo Yueming walked out and noticed at a glance that his lover’s expression wasn’t right. “Pei Yi, what’s wrong?”
As soon as his lingering voice faded, Pei Yi’s phone vibrated several times with forum posts forwarded from his friend.
Pei Yi scanned the titles of these posts from top to bottom, and the grim coldness in his eyes condensed little by little.
“Er-ge, something happened.”
