Pei Jingyi's appearance pushed the excitement of the scene to a climax.

He walked down with a gloomy face, forgetting all of Xie Shuyao's instructions.

Who dares to bully his woman? Does he think Pei Jingyi is dead?

Pei Jingyi glanced at the dumbfounded people and said coldly, "Xie Shuyao is my wife. We are together all day long. Is this enough evidence?"

After a two-second pause, he turned to look at Gao Jiarui, looked him up and down, and sneered, "Why do you think my wife would like you? You're so shameless."

Once the words were spoken, it was final.

Yes, I originally thought that Xie Shuyao, a widow, was more than enough to match Gao Jiarui.

But who knew that she was actually Pei Jingyi's wife!

Be it appearance, figure, or official position, Gao Jiarui can't compare to him at all.

Unless Xie Shuyao is blind, she would choose Gao Jiarui instead of Pei Jingyi.

In the silence of everyone, the faces of all the Gao family members were as pale as paper.

Xie Shuyao quietly walked to Pei Jingyi, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait?"

Pei Jingyi remained calm, holding her hand and said, "I'm not so useless that I need your protection."

At this time, everyone in the Gao family broke out in cold sweats. Gao Shengman reacted the fastest. He quickly took his wife and son and prepared to leave.

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Let's go now."

However, before he could move, Pei Jingyi spoke up: "You spread rumors and caused trouble, and you still want to leave? Jiangdong, hand this bunch of rabble over to the government for punishment!"

"Yes!"

As everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, only Xie Shuyao and Pei Jingyi were left in the hall.

Although the problem was solved, Xie Shuyao had other worries.

She frowned and said, "Why did you say I was your wife?"

They had just started to get along, and she hadn't even agreed to be with him!

Speaking of this, Pei Jingyi blurted out:

"We're not getting divorced, so if we're not husband and wife, then what are we?"

After saying this, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'm hungry. Is there any food I can eat?"

Xie Shuyao was unsure at first, but when she saw him change the subject, she became certain.

"Okay, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You were so happy when I told you to leave. Were you afraid that I would ask you to sign the divorce papers?"

Speaking of the past, Pei Jingyi touched his nose in dismay and said unnaturally, "No, I just remembered it."

Xie Shuyao snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.

She didn't like the feeling of being plotted against, so she turned around and left.

Pei Jingyi grabbed her hand upon seeing this, and his voice was much gentler than before: "I came all the way back, and I haven't eaten for a day, and you're just going to leave me like this?"

Xie Shuyao continued walking forward, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Pei Jingyi followed her closely, looked at her with resentment and said, "It's okay, it's just a day of hunger. When I was on the march, I often didn't have food to eat. This is nothing."

"It's just this wound. It seems to have been torn on the way here. What should I do?"

Listening to his chattering, Xie Shuyao's mouth corners were already a little tight, but she still controlled herself not to look at him.

Pei Jingyi saw that the self-torture tactic didn't work, so he simply used his ultimate move.

He hissed in pain, "Why is it bleeding again?"

Xie Shuyao subconsciously stopped when she heard this and turned to look at him, "Where is it..."

When I turned my head, I didn't see the wound, but I saw the teasing expression on his clothes.

"I knew you still cared about me."
