When outsiders mention Pei Muchuan, they inevitably talk about his playboy lifestyle when he was young, but no one can deny his status and achievements in the business world.

Pei's father died early, and Pei Muchuan was arranged to join the consortium by the late Mr. Pei, his grandfather, when he was only 18 years old. He single-handedly suppressed his uncles and cousins ​​who were eyeing him covetously.

There are bound to be setbacks and compromises.

For example, marrying Ye Qingrou, he once thought that this was the biggest mistake and compromise in his life.

Such people are naturally cold and experienced.

At this point, Pei Muchuan's sullen expression returned to calm. He said in a deep voice, "Your eldest cousin is marrying the daughter of the Wu Chengnan family, and your second cousin is about to be engaged to the second daughter of the Lin family. You should be aware of what this means."

Pei Muchuan's resistance to accepting Xu Nanyin stemmed from a matter of pride. After all, other sons married wealthy or powerful women, and by comparison, he felt embarrassed. Furthermore, it was a matter of practical self-interest. He had finally managed to suppress the gang of wolves and tigers in the old mansion. Now it was Pei Jingmo's turn. If he married someone of equal status, it would be much easier to continue suppressing them.

Xu Nanyin listened carefully, feeling cold and blocked in the heart, and lowered her head awkwardly.

Reality is often like this, it's not enough to just be affectionate. She really doesn't have a strong background, so she can't help Pei Jingmo...

My chin was suddenly pinched.

"Xu Nanyin, didn't I tell you not to bow your head?"

Xu Nanyin was forced to look up, and met Pei Jingmo's pair of dark, beautiful eyes. There was a faint smile in his eyes: "You are so brave, you dare to be sad in front of me."

She was still holding the stack of property lists he had handed to her. The heavy weight made her nose sore.

He gave her so much, and what she could give back might not even be one ten-thousandth of it.

She owed him.

"Tsk. Why are your eyes red again?"

Pei Jingmo gently put his arm around her shoulders, looking nonchalant: "Wife, haven't you heard that if you don't bow your head, the crown will fall off, and if you don't cry, Mr. Pei will laugh secretly."

Stunned for a moment, Xu Nanyin couldn't help but laughed while rubbing the corners of her eyes.

"Rebellious son." Pei Muchuan gritted his teeth. What the hell was he laughing at?

He couldn't bear to see his rebellious son looking so worthless.

Pei Jingmo said seriously, "Mr. Pei, this isn't the first day I decided to marry Xu Nanyin. I've considered everything you said. Just state your conditions directly."

Every word of his steady voice was pleasing to the ears, and Xu Nanyin felt soft and warm in her heart.

His feelings for her were never impulsive, but rather a responsible choice made after careful consideration.

"Within a year, you must deal with the group in the Wucheng Old House and convince me that they can no longer threaten your position in the consortium. Also..."

Pei Muchuan turned his sharp gaze towards Xu Nanyin: "You must also learn how to become a qualified Madam Pei in Wucheng."

He pointed at the wedding ring on her hand and said, "Take it off. When you go to Wucheng, you can no longer be Madam Pei, but only his fiancée."

Seeing Pei Jingmo sneer and his face darken, Xu Nanyin quickly took off her wedding ring and nodded, "Okay, I agree."

"Can you take this off?" Pei Jingmo raised his eyebrows without hesitation and immediately wanted to help her put it back on.

Xu Nanyin took a step back to avoid him, grabbed his hand and held it tightly, her eyes soft but firm: "I have to pick it."

Pei Muchuan only made the test more difficult for her.

She was happy to accept it, at least this way he would be under less pressure, and she wished she could help him with more responsibilities.

"Be obedient and put it back on." Pei Jingmo's tone was light, but quite frightening.

Xu Nanyin wasn't afraid. She looked into his heart with a feather-light gaze, her voice soft and gentle: "You have so little confidence in me? You're really discouraging me..."

She wanted to kiss him, but because Pei Muchuan was there, she couldn't coax him too much. She could only take his hand, gently spread his knuckles and intertwined their fingers, and silently kissed him with her mouth.

Pei Jingmo's expression softened.

She took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to take off the wedding ring on his left ring finger with a smile on her face.

Pei Jingmo narrowed his dark eyes slightly, pursed his thin lips into a cold smile, and looked at her with a dim gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and Xu Nanyin understood what he meant with a flushed face: You're finished.

I'll go back to the bedroom and be punished badly...

Taking a deep breath and adjusting her expression, she turned back to look at Pei Muchuan, her eyes calm and firm: "Is it okay?"

Pei Muchuan looked at her calmly for a moment, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

It's not bad, his rebellious son's vision is not that bad...

"Okay." Pei Muchuan said in a deep voice, "It's for one year. If you don't do it, Miss Xu, I hope you will leave the Pei family on your own initiative, and you won't be able to take a single cent with you."

Coming out of Pei Muchuan's study.

Passing by Ye Qingrou's door, Xu Nanyin grabbed Pei Jingmo and asked, "Do you want to meet your aunt? From what your father said, it seems that your aunt proposed a divorce agreement to help us..."

Pei Jingmo stared at the closed door, raised his hand to knock on it, but then lowered it, "Forget it."

"Auntie really loves you."

"Really? I don't quite believe it."

Pei Jingmo took out a tube of plaster from his trouser pocket and handed it to her, expressionless, "Give it to her."

Then he turned around and strode downstairs.

Looking at his walking away figure, Xu Nanyin couldn't help but sigh, but she also understood that the misunderstanding between mother and son for so many years could not be resolved overnight.

She took the plaster and took a look at it. She was shocked. It was a cough medicine...

After giving the medicine to Ye Qingrou, Xu Nanyin went downstairs.

In the dim corridor, Pei Jingmo's slender figure leaned casually against the wall, talking on the phone.

She didn't go over to disturb him, but vaguely heard the word "Wucheng". He must have started making arrangements for Wucheng.

She watched over him quietly, a smile unconsciously curling up at the corners of her lips, remembering the time when he rescued her in the alley and he also leaned against the wall to make a phone call like this.

The boy in white at that time had grown into a handsome and mature man, a steady and reliable husband, and she, who was completely unfamiliar and afraid of him at that time, had unexpectedly become his wife...

The gears of fate turn in a mysterious way.

Watching his serious, thoughtful face as he instructed someone on the other end of the phone, her eyes welled up and she felt like crying. Her fingertips gently stroked the necklace around her neck. Her father was right. Good things would happen. That's why she met the lover who held her tightly and couldn't leave.

Even if you arrive in Wucheng, it’s the same. Just keep going and good things will happen.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Jingmo glanced at her. She smiled brightly and walked quickly to him, expressing her thoughts directly and openly: "I still want to transfer the property back to you."

Pei Jingmo casually turned his phone around and glared at her. "You little legal illiterate, you want me to explain marriage law to you again?"

"You've given me too much. I can't accept it with peace of mind." Xu Nanyin's eyes softened, and she could barely hide her guilt. She whispered, "I feel like I owe you a lot."

"Are you going to settle accounts with me again?" Pei Jingmo smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "Can you beat me?"

Xu Nanyin wanted to say something, but he suddenly looked serious: "Those are external things. If you lose them, you can always earn them again."

"But I only have one heart and one life."

He held her hand and gently placed it on his chest. Pei Jingmo looked at her with a faint gaze and said slowly, "You can help me maintain my heartbeat and prolong my life. Xu Nanyin, you provide me with unique value."
