After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"Guess?" Qin Song tilted her head and said with a charming smile.

Pei Xingzhi: "I...I can't guess."

His heart was pounding wildly, and his thoughts were a jumbled mess of hot, sticky mush, leaving him with no energy left to ponder the problem.

He raised the hand that wasn't on the IV drip and carefully touched the watch face. "Xiao Song, I really can't guess. Can you tell me?"

"Okay." Qin Song stopped teasing him, cleared his throat, and explained seriously, "After the company went bankrupt, you sold almost everything you owned to pay your employees' salaries. You sold your car, your house, and many custom-made suits. You even sold the watch you had worn for almost eight years."

"Later, I often noticed that when you went out, you always liked to raise your left hand to look at your bare wrist. So I thought that you probably hadn't gotten used to not wearing a watch yet. So I secretly bought you one."

This was the first time Qin Song had ever given a gift to a man, so she unconsciously spoke very softly. But to Pei Xingzhi, every word seemed to weigh a ton.

Pei Xingzhi slowly raised his eyes, looking at the woman with a faint smile in front of him with a complicated expression.

This woman used to have a terrible temper; she would argue and make a scene with him at the drop of a hat. Their relationship also started in a scandalous way, so even after they officially got married, they tormented each other for a long time.

He married her out of responsibility and for the sake of their child; she married him for money. They were initially mutually dependent and indifferent to each other. But now, due to bankruptcy, their relationship has undergone a dramatic change.

They should have scattered when disaster struck, but Qin Song insisted on staying. They reconciled, accompanied and supported each other, becoming a couple who had weathered hardships together and were admired by everyone.

He cherishes this hard-won relationship with his wife, but he can't help but have doubts and feel insecure.

After Qin Song made the change, he was filled with doubt and suspicion for a long time. Although this suspicion eventually disappeared, he was still afraid from time to time.

He was afraid that it was all fake, and that Qin Song was deceiving him again. He knew that this fear was hurtful to Qin Song, but the human heart is hard to control, and he simply couldn't suppress this panic.

Only now, only when Qin Song presented the watch to him, did all his worries and anxieties finally vanish like smoke, swirling and disappearing from his mind.

Qin Song lowered his head shyly and said hesitantly, "I've never paid attention to what your watch looks like before, so I don't know what style you like. I bought this watch according to my own ideas. Try it on and see if it suits you... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Xingzhi forcefully cut her off.

Pei Xingzhi threw his watch on the blanket, pressed Qin Song's head with his left hand, and kissed her lips fiercely.

His kisses and his personality were always completely different. He appeared gentle, refined, and gentlemanly, but when he kissed someone, he was surprisingly fierce.

He sucked and bit Qin Song's delicate lips, and after biting them, he used his tongue to pry open her teeth and further conquer her territory.

Qin Song had never been good at this kind of thing, and Pei Xingzhi's kiss was so sudden that she was completely unable to resist from the start. Even when she tried to respond, her little cat-like movements were quickly devoured by Pei Xingzhi.

"Well……"

Pei Xingzhi's kiss was too fierce, and Qin Song couldn't bear it. She could only raise her right hand and place it on his chest, expressing her protest with careful force and indistinct moans.

Although Pei Xingzhi was emotionally charged, he remained clear-headed. Realizing Qin Song was struggling to breathe, he immediately released her lips.

With her lips red and swollen from being bullied, Qin Song gasped for breath, looking at Pei Xingzhi with a blank and aggrieved expression.

Pei Xingzhi's eyes were red at the corners, and his moist eyes held turbulent emotions.

He gently cupped Qin Song's cheeks, his thumb lingering intimately on the corner of her red lips, and said in a husky voice, "Thank you, Xiao Song. I really like the watch you gave me, and I like it even more..."

I like you more as a person.

"What...what do you like?" Qin Song couldn't hear his inner thoughts, so he could only ask blankly.

He smiled but didn't say anything, only saying, "Help me put it on, I still have an IV in my right hand and can't move it."

"Hmph..." Qin Song slowly recovered from the fierce kiss, and glared at Pei Xingzhi reproachfully, "Your right hand is injured, but your left hand is still very capable, and you even know how to bully people..."

She muttered a complaint under her breath as she picked up the watch and carefully helped Pei Xingzhi put it on.

Pei Xingzhi looked at her with red eyes, his lustful gaze lingering from her butterfly-like eyelashes to the small mole on the tip of her nose, then to her lips, which he had kissed until they were red and swollen, and finally back to her eyebrows and eyes.

She was focused on putting on her watch, unaware that Pei Xingzhi had already given her a thorough once-over with his eyes.

"Xiao Song".

Just as she was repeatedly adjusting the watch strap, Pei Xingzhi suddenly called out to her.

"Hmm?" she replied softly.

Pei Xingzhi: "You're being naughty."

"...Huh?" Qin Song paused in his actions, looking up at Pei Xingzhi with a puzzled expression. "How have I been naughty?"

Pei Xingzhi stared into her eyes, his gaze turning somber: "Qin Wushuang is a scoundrel. Even in death, he doesn't deserve to die by your side. How can you drag him down with you into this hellhole?"

"..." Qin Song was stunned for a moment, then realized something.

"You, you know everything?"

Pei Xingzhi gave a blank "hmm": "Lin Jiahe came to see me at the hospital this afternoon."

"Lin Jiahe?" Qin Song's reproach was tinged with guilt. "Why does he tell you everything?"

"Shouldn't he tell me?" Pei Xingzhi asked coldly. "If he didn't tell me, were you planning to keep it from me forever?"

"..." Qin Song lowered his head and fidgeted with his hands, "I didn't intend to keep it a secret forever..."

Pei Xingzhi raised an eyebrow: "So how long do you plan to keep this a secret?"

"..." Qin Song dared not speak.

Pei Xingzhi raised his hand and stroked her face, forcing her to look up and face him directly.

"Xiao Song, why were you so determined to die for me back then?"

Qin Song blinked, and the cold flames rekindled in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Back then, I thought you were dead."

Pei Xingzhi: "You thought I was dead, so you wanted to die for me?"

Qin Song dared not look at him any longer, and lowered her eyes: "Mm."

Pei Xingzhi: "But you can continue to live even without me."

Qin Song shook his head: "Without you, I don't want to live."

"Why?" Pei Xingzhi moved his fingers slightly, lifting her chin and forcing her to look at him.

Why wouldn't you want to live if I died?

"..." Qin Song's thoughts were numbed by the pain, and her mind seemed to be unable to process what she was thinking, but the answer floated into her mind on its own.
