Chapter 466: The Compromise
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

That was the idea Feng Kun had come up with. Pei Ziheng had two choices: to let the child stay with her or to send the child to Li Lei. Feng Kun had said, Pei Ziheng is too proud to allow Li Lei to find out the truth. As long as you can set your heart on pushing these two choices, he will definitely be the one to give in eventually. Xiao Ling, he will agree to have the child stay with you.

Xia Ling’s heart was pounding, hoping against all hope that Feng Kun would be right. She tightened the baby in her embrace out of fear, and the little one started crying in discomfort.

The way Pei Ziheng looked at her was terrifying, it looked almost as if he could swallow her alive.

Xia Ling forced herself to stop shivering as she looked him straight in the eye. “You can hold me to my word.”

“Do you know that you’re courting death?” Pei Ziheng enunciated every word clearly.

Xia Ling’s voice trembled. “As long as you don’t hurt my child, we can talk about things on good terms. Pei Ziheng, if you won’t let this child stay with me, then at least let him be with his biological father.”

Pei Ziheng weighed his options.

It wasn’t going to be difficult for Xiao Ling to spread the word about the child’s identity. If he had to make a choice between the two options, he would rather raise the bastard child than to let his love rival find out the truth.

Pei Ziheng took two steps forward.

Xia Ling backed off step by step until she had reached the wall.

Pei Ziheng looked down at the child in her arms.

The child seemed to resemble Xia Ling, with no visible trace of Li Lei’s genes.

After many moments of silence, he finally muttered in all seriousness, “Xia Ling, this is the last compromise I’m making for this little bastard.”

“You… agree to let me keep him?” She was bursting with joy on the inside, but made sure to clarify his words.

Pei Ziheng turned around and instructed Nanny Zhou, “Set up another nursery room, as far away from the master bedroom as possible, and don’t let me see him.” The nursery room he had prepared earlier was meant for his first child. It was right beside the master bedroom so that he could take a look at his child the moment he woke up. But this child… this bastard was not fit for that.

Nanny Zhou just understood what was going on, and was more than happy to get started on it. Although she could understand why Mister would want to send away a child that was not even his, she felt that this child was simply too pitiful. Having Mister accept him was the best possible outcome for this situation.

“Thank you, thank you…” Xia Ling said to Pei Ziheng as he walked away. She was in tears of joy.

Pei Ziheng did not turn around.

Since he had decided to keep the child by their side, Pei Ziheng could now publicly announce the birth of the child.

It was completely different from the announcement of Xia Ling’s pregnancy. This time, it was just a statement in the news, and not a single press conference was held. A reporter asked, “Mr. Pei, this is your oldest son and the future successor of the Pei magnate. His birth must be such joyful news, but why is it kept so low profile?”

Chu Chen responded to the question on Pei Ziheng’s behalf.

Chu Chen had his camera-ready smile on. “The child is too young and won’t be able to cope with too much public attention. Being low profile is good. Only when a child is free from the pressures of wealth and power can he grow healthily.”
