Five hours have passed, and Pei Xingzhi is still sitting in the same spot, with Shen Yanhui still opposite him.

He said on the phone that he was very busy with work; so that's what he meant by being busy.

Qin Song stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds, without greeting him or making any reaction, and then strode out of the coffee shop with her things.

Although she had only recently transmigrated and hadn't developed many feelings for Pei Xingzhi, seeing him with Shen Yanhui still stirred complex emotions within her.

In the novel, Shen Yanhui is Pei Xingzhi's official love interest. She is beautiful, comes from a good family, and is deeply devoted to Pei Xingzhi.

As for "Qin Song", all she has to offer are her countless scandals and the child in her belly.

It is said that the fate of the official couple is unstoppable, and Qin Song's repentance is not much of a competitor in front of Shen Yan Hui.

Especially after Pei Xingzhi went bankrupt, the help Shen Yanhui could give Pei Xingzhi was something Qin Song could never provide.

Qin Song was well aware of her own limitations. Furthermore, her marriage to Pei Xingzhi was a calculated scheme; if Pei Xingzhi had any affection for her, it was entirely due to the child. But Shen Yan Hui could also conceive, so what made her special?

She was indeed willing to do everything in her power to help Pei Xingzhi and accompany him on his comeback. But now that Shen Yanhui has appeared, her companionship has suddenly become dispensable.

Forget it, I should make plans as soon as possible. If Pei Xingzhi ultimately chooses Shen Yanhui, then she'll have an abortion and raise the child herself.

Anyway, she can draw, so she won't starve no matter where she goes.

"Ode to Qin".

While Qin Song was thinking about his escape route, Pei Xingzhi suddenly chased after him from the store and grabbed his arm.

Qin Song turned around blankly and saw that Shen Yan had also come over.

"What's wrong?" Qin Song asked lightly, meeting Pei Xingzhi's slightly flustered gaze.

Pei Xingzhi: "I'm not lying to you, I really am busy with work."

"Huh?" Qin Song was a little confused.

She didn't ask anything, so why did Pei Xingzhi start explaining first?

Pei Xingzhi looked into her eyes, said nothing more, and explained in a low voice, "Yan Hui is my college classmate, and we have a pretty good relationship. She recently returned to China and heard about my company, so she came to talk to me. We only talked about work, nothing else."

“I didn’t lie to you, and I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was planning to go home and explain it to you, but then I found out you were at this coffee shop, so I waited for you to finish your business and come out.”

"..." How come this plot development is different from what Qin Song expected?

Pei Xingzhi's honesty left her somewhat at a loss.

She had just been thinking of so many ways out for herself.

"...It's nothing, it's work, I understand." Qin Song forced a smile, then suddenly remembered that he was still carrying something.

"You've been busy for so long, you haven't had time to eat yet, have you?" She gently placed the insulated food container into Pei Xingzhi's hands and said softly, "This is food I made for you, it's still warm. Eat first, and then go back to work."

"What a coincidence."

Before Pei Xingzhi could speak, Shen Yanhui answered for him: "Xingzhi and I already had lunch at the coffee shop. Sister-in-law, your things are a little late."

“It’s not too late.” Pei Xingzhi accepted the insulated food container, grabbed Qin Song’s arm and pulled her to his side. “I didn’t have an appetite just now, I only ate half a sandwich, and I’m still hungry. You brought it just in time.”

"Mm!" Qin Song immediately smiled.

But Shen Yanhui on the other side couldn't laugh. She frowned and stared intently at Qin Song, her face somewhat unpleasant.

Qin Song didn't pay much attention to her. She tilted her head and looked at Pei Xingzhi: "Are you done with work? Do you want to go home with me?"

"I..." Pei Xingzhi was about to answer when his phone rang at an inopportune moment. He glanced at the caller's name and said to Qin Song, "I'll take this call first."

After saying that, he walked to the other side, leaving Qin Song and Shen Yanhui facing each other.

Before transmigrating, the female supporting character and Shen Yanhui had only met twice, and the two had no personal grudges. Therefore, Qin Song could be completely open and honest when facing Shen Yanhui.

Shen Yanhui was equally frank, a frankness tinged with obvious hostility.

"You're so smug, aren't you?" She crossed her arms and walked towards Qin Song step by step.

“You’re already so rotten, yet Pei Xingzhi still protects you and is willing to explain to you why he’d have coffee with me.”

"Does it matter?" Qin Song didn't really want to talk to Shen Yan about this. "Whether I'm bad or not, whether Xingzhi protects me or not, these are private matters between my husband and me. Miss Shen doesn't need to care."

"Why wouldn't I care?" Shen Yanhui smiled contemptuously. "Pei Xingzhi is such a good person, yet he's being dragged down by a woman like you. I really can't bear it."

"So what?" Qin Song asked back.

Shen Yanhui’s ambition was very direct: “So I’m going to snatch him away and save him from his misery. Qin Song, you’re a fake heiress who was kicked out of the Qin family. You have no family background and no character. You can’t do anything but drag Pei Xingzhi down by staying by his side.”

"Hmm." Qin Song nodded, without responding to her words.

Shen Yanhui looked her up and down with a cold gaze, her words carrying a hint of warning: "Qin Song, you'd better know your place and leave Pei Xingzhi's side, or I have plenty of ways to embarrass you."

Qin Song: "Understood."

"?" Shen Yan was surprised by her answer. "You agreed so readily?"

Qin Song smiled and said, "I didn't agree to that. I just said I understood, I didn't say anything else."

Shen Yan frowned: "Then what do you mean?"

Qin Song: "I don't know what I mean either. If you want to understand what I mean, then go back and wait for further notice."

"You..." Shen Yan was confused by her words. "What are you babbling about? Do you understand that I told you to leave Pei Xingzhi?"

Qin Song raised an eyebrow, a hint of helplessness in her smile: "Miss Shen, I know you like Pei Xingzhi, but please wake up! Pei Xingzhi is my husband now! You've come here openly to make me leave my husband. What are you trying to do? Try to interfere in our marriage as a mistress?"

"Hmph," Shen Yanhui sneered, her answer still very frank, "I can't be a mistress, that's why I made you divorce Pei Xingzhi immediately. As long as you get out, my appearance will be legitimate."

Qin Song: "No."

Shen Yan replied: "You must get out!"

Qin Song: "Are you trying to rob me outright?"

Shen Yan Hui: "I..."

"Ode to Qin".

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Xingzhi interrupted her with his voice. Shen Yanhui sighed in frustration, then smiled brightly again.

Pei Xingzhi put away his phone and walked up to Qin Song, looking down at her and saying, "There are still things waiting for me to take care of at the studio. You go home first, I'll go back as soon as I'm done."

"you……"

"That's just right."

Before Qin Song could even speak, Shen Yanhui deliberately interrupted.

“I just sent a WeChat message to my dad about your project. He’s quite interested and asked me to get him some detailed information as soon as possible. Xingzhi, since you’re going back to the studio, I’ll go with you.”
