Chapter 1035: Chapter 32: Sleepless Nights

Pei Pei called her agent to pick up the work she had delayed during this period.

Otherwise, how was she going to support such a big family?

"Oh my gosh, you finally appeared!"

The agent was quite anxious on the phone, "If you don’t show up soon, you’re going to be outdated! These days, the turnover of celebrities is so fast..."

"I’m sorry." Pei Pei apologized repeatedly, "I’ve caused you so much trouble... I can start working now."

"Okay... I’ll arrange it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Pei Pei took a shower and lay down on the bed.

The agent had already sent over the schedule, really... such high efficiency.

To be honest, after all these years, Pei Pei was already familiar with all these notices and performances.

Yet, looking at the schedule at this moment, she felt extremely agitated!

Frustrated, she closed the laptop and lay down with her eyes closed...

How long will these days last?

Yu Sangwan, who is her age, is soon to be a mother of three children. Even Gu Xiaoning, much younger than her... is also soon to be a mother of three children! Yet she couldn’t even be with the person she loved!

Will there ever be a chance in this life?

Others only see her glamorous life on screen, but little do they know, she just wanted to get married... and be an ordinary woman.

The phone by her pillow kept ringing.

Pei Pei glanced at it, not wanting to answer.

The ringtone stopped but then started again after a while.

This time, she had to answer.

"Hey, mom..." Pei Pei sighed, feeling helpless.

"Peipei." Her mother was also helpless, "Mom knows you’re feeling wronged, but... if your brother doesn’t look for you, who else would he turn to?"

See, that’s her mother!

Since childhood, she had been supporting this family! Up to this day, she was already 27 years old, yet it still wasn’t enough!

Whenever there’s a problem, her parents always sided with her elder and younger brothers.

"Peipei." Her mother babbled on, "Who asked your brothers not to be capable? You can earn money, so naturally, this family relies on you!"

"Mom!"

Pei Pei finally couldn’t hold back and exploded.

"Why rely on me? Do they not have hands or feet? Are they disabled? Do they lack the ability to live? If that were the case, then... I wouldn’t hesitate! But Mom, it’s not like that! They are all living well! Why can’t you let them do something?"

"Pei Pei!"

Her mother was also anxious, "It’s not as easy for them to earn money as it is for you! You just stand on the stage and make tons of money... We’re all family, why say such distant things?"

"Ah—"

Pei Pei clutched her heart, she was about to break down! Truly.

"Mom..." Pei Pei broke down in tears, "Have you ever thought about me? I’m not young anymore! I also have my life..."

"You child, who’s stopping you from having one?" Her mother became agitated, her tone also worsened, "Isn’t Kang Sir going to marry you? It’s not like you haven’t been acting up... you could have been a good wealthy wife!"

"Mom!"

Pei Pei was struggling to breathe, her brow furrowed tightly.

"Have you never considered my happiness? Whether I like that person or not... have you thought about it?"

"Why don’t you like him? He’s so rich, and it happens to be able to help your brothers..."

"Ah—"

Pei Pei couldn’t listen anymore, she raised her hand and smashed the phone against the wall!

She crouched down in pain, clutching her head.

Her mother’s words, every sentence, was all for her brothers, she couldn’t listen to a single word anymore! Even her marriage was for her brothers!

As for her, it’s like she’s not her mother’s biological child! Her existence only served the purpose of making more money for the family!

"Woo, woo, woo..."

Pei Pei hugged her knees and cried on the ground...

The phone on the ground was flashing, and the screen flickered ’Lu Yuxuan’...

Pei Pei mumbled, Yuxuan, Yuxuan... I’m in so much pain.

Yet, she didn’t dare to answer the phone, what good would it do to answer? It would only increase their mutual suffering!

Picking up the phone, she turned it off and slept.

...

Early the next morning, her agent came to pick up Pei Pei.

The agent handed over breakfast while telling her today’s schedule.

"Eat more, today’s schedule is packed, two notices... Also, there’s an audition for a commercial, and tonight there’s a local brand event."

"Mm, okay."

The car drove off, rushing to various venues.

After being busy for a whole day, it was already late at night when she finished.

The people working together wanted to go for a late-night snack, but Pei Pei didn’t want to go; she wanted to go back to the hotel first.

The agent quickly intervened, "I’ll take you there!"

"No need." Pei Pei smiled as she shook her head, "It’s just across the street, a few steps... I can go by myself, you go for the late-night snack with them."

"...Alright."

The agent saw that the road wasn’t far and didn’t insist.

Pei Pei took her bag and went downstairs by herself.

From the elevator the moment she started, she noticed someone was following her.

She was a celebrity, so being watched wasn’t particularly unusual.

However, Pei Pei looked at the person and nodded with a polite smile.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a middle-aged man, grinning at her lewdly.

"..." Pei Pei regretted it; this person appeared to be nothing good.

The elevator door opened, and Pei Pei hurriedly walked out.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man also chased after her.

In the dead of night, Pei Pei was scared and started running.

"Hey, don’t run!"

The middle-aged man quickly caught up and blocked her, "Where are you going, beauty? How much for a celebrity of your caliber, huh? 2 million for a night, is that enough? I have money! I can afford it!"

"..." Pei Pei was stunned; she encountered someone shameless!

What to do?

Pei Pei had a fiery temperament, and immediately raised her bag, "To hell with your 2 million..."

"Ah!"

However, before her bag could hit the man.

A figure suddenly rushed over and kicked that man to the ground.

That wasn’t enough yet!

The person who rushed out was punching and kicking the middle-aged man, "How dare you touch her! How dare you touch her! I’ll beat you to death!"

"..."

Pei Pei was stunned, watching Lu Yuxuan appear like a hero, her tears unwillingly fell all at once.

She swiftly rushed forward and hugged Lu Yuxuan.

Lu Yuxuan was taken aback, then turned around and held Pei Pei tightly in his arms.

Cradling her face, he immediately gave her a deep kiss.

Pei Pei raised her hand, wrapped it around his arm, and indulged in the kiss...

"Are you scared?" Lu Yuxuan murmured on her lips.

Pei Pei nodded obediently, "...Mm."

"Tsk!" Lu Yuxuan sneered, "You’re tough at home! Usually, you’re the one beating me up! But at crucial moments, it still takes your man, me, to take action."

"You..." Pei Pei was still shaken, "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Lu Yuxuan quirked his lips, "Looking for you..."

"Looking for me for what?" Pei Pei regained her senses and hurriedly pushed him away.

Lu Yuxuan held her tight, "Of course, to... sleep with you!"
