Chapter 428: A suggestion

Pei Yuan smiled. “What do you mean by that, Liu Jinhai?”

Jinhai said, “Quite a coincidence, right? You are here where my wife is. Then somebody takes the stroller away, you run after him and even manage to save the twins from him. Should I say you got lucky?”

There was a feeling of stillness in the air.

“I don’t see the reason why you are talking like that, Liu Jinhai. Shouldn’t you be happy that your children are safe? In fact, I should ask you what kind of security the Liu family has? Nana and her children were in danger, but you couldn’t do anything. And as to why I am here, do I need your permission to visit the mall?”

Nana anxiously nudged Jinhai. “Jinhai, you are being impolite. If not for Pei Yuan, the man could have already escaped far away. He even got hurt, trying to save Jian and Nian.”

Jinhai said nothing.

Nana awkwardly smiled. “That I apologize…”

Pei Yuan shook his head. “Don’t be sorry for him. You are too kind. The one who should be sorry is not and not just to me but towards many ‘other’ things too…”

Jinhai obviously understood the meaning behind his words. He was talking about Suyin.

Liu Chunhua sensed the tension in the air and quickly said, “Pei Yuan. We cannot thank you enough for saving them.”

Nana nodded as well. “Please tell us if we could repay you somehow…Thank God you were here today or else…”

Jinhai stiffened and clenched his fists.

His children were kidnapped, yet the father couldn’t do anything while another man saved them from harm.

This feeling was like a knife stabbing his heart endlessly. A sense of… uselessness washed over him.

Pei Yuan smiled. “How can I ask you to repay? I just did what I feel was right. You don’t have to feel indebted to me.”

He looked at Jinhai and smiled with a hint of mockery in it. “I suggest you take good care of your wife, Mr. Liu. If this is how you take care of her, then I wonder about their well-being. Nana should be with someone who can protect her at all times.”

Jinhai smirked. “Thanks for the suggestion, but I am afraid that is unnecessary. You don’t have to worry about it, Mr. Pei. I know how to take care of my wife and my children. But I have a suggestion for you. No matter how much anyone tried to look like a hero, my wife is not going anywhere apart from me, and neither are her feelings going to waver. Our love is not that weak and helpless.”

Pei Yuan stiffened, and he bottled up his anger and disgust for Jinhai.

“Jinhai…stop it.” Nana helplessly shook her head. It was clear that Jinhai started the cold war by doubting Pei Yuan and possibly hurting his feelings and intentions.

Jinhai merely snorted.

Pei Yuan said, “I should leave, Nana. I think Liu Jinhai can at least handle the rest of the things, or do you need my help for it, too? I will gladly lend you a hand.”

“No need, Pei Yuan. More than trying to help me, you should help yourself by treating your wounds. You look like you would faint already.”

“Jinhai, enough, please.”

He finally stopped. Pei Yuan left, and Jinhai turned even grimmer. He shot the manager the coldest glare possible.

“I see you are quite lax with the security here. A suspicious man was able to take away my sons in broad daylight in everybody’s presence.”

The manager begged as he sweated hard. “I apologize, Mr. Liu!”

“I will deal with you later, but if I don’t get any news on that man…”

“Yes, Mr. Liu! I will do everything as you say.”

Jinhai retracted his cold gaze from him, and it landed on the twins. Nana was hugging them tightly in her arms; tears still laced in her eyes. A hint of guilt flashed past his dark gaze, and he silently vowed to make that culprit pay.

Pei Yuan came drove his car and stopped across the street five blocks ahead. He pressed a button, and the window rolled down just by a few inches.

A man came out of the dark and walked near the window. Pei Yuan took out a packet and threw it at him.

“Good job. Your money and flight tickets are here. Leave the country right now. I don’t want to see you anywhere near China.”

The man smirked, feeling the heavy packet in his hands.

“As you say.”

He quietly left without saying anything else.

Pei Yuan leaned back on his seat and smirked as he recalled how he saved Jian and Nian from the man…whom he had hired himself to take them away for a while. The man simply waited for Pei Yuan to appear in an empty corridor with the stroller with him, and then Pei Yuan hurt and put some scratches on himself to look the part as if he fought with him.

“I will destroy you, Liu Jinhai. Quite confident in your love, huh? Let’s test it, then. Be ready to lose Nana because she will be mine. That day would soon come, and you wouldn’t be able to do anything.”

—

The dinner at Liu villa was quieter than usual. Even if everything was fine at the end of the day, the incident had still left a frightening mark in their minds. After all, they were so close to losing the precious twins.

Jinhai glanced at Nana and saw that she was hardly eating anything. She was only fiddling with her chopsticks. He sighed. He picked some meat from the bowl and put it on her plate.

“You are not eating anything, Nana. This isn’t good.”

“I am not much hungry…”

“You have to eat something.”

Nana pursed her lips. She slowly ate on Jinhai’s insistence.

Then she looked at Liu Chunhua and Liu Hai and her gaze dimmed as she thought about something.

“Mom, Dad.”

“Yes, dear?”

“Yes, dear?”

Both of them spoke at once, and they chuckled.

Nana faintly smiled too. “That… I want to ask something.”

“Anything, dear,” Liu Chunhua nodded.

Nana clenched the chopsticks. “Can Jian and Nian stay in your room for a few nights?”
