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

Pei Xingzhi didn't return until evening.

After returning, he went straight into his study without saying a word to Qin Song.

Qin Song paced anxiously in the room, wanting to go to him but not daring to.

When it comes to relationships, Qin Song is a complete novice. She only knows how to treat someone she likes well, but she doesn't know how to break the ice after arguing with the person she likes.

Especially now that she hasn't resolved the root cause of the argument! She lied first, so she always feels guilty and worries that even if Pei Xingzhi gives her a chance to break the ice, she won't be able to seize it.

The desire and the fear were like two short-tempered little people, constantly fighting in her mind from the moment Pei Xingzhi returned home.

They fought fiercely, with no clear winner, and Qin Song had no idea who to listen to.

She paced anxiously around the room until her back and legs ached before she finally stopped.

……

With Pei Xingzhi absent, the spacious room became eerily quiet.

Only now did Qin Song realize just how deeply rooted his dependence on Pei Xingzhi had become.

She wasn't someone who would scrutinize feelings all the time. From the moment she got together with Pei Xingzhi until now, she had never seriously questioned how much she actually liked him.

All she knew was that she enjoyed being with Pei Xingzhi, enjoyed being close to him, and enjoyed being clung to by him. This subconscious preference told her that she liked Pei Xingzhi. But she had never considered why she liked him, when she started liking him, or how deep her feelings were.

Now, facing an empty room, these problems that she had always ignored finally came to her attention.

She stared at Pei Xingzhi's pillow and began to wonder aimlessly: When did she start liking Pei Xingzhi?

"Buzz-"

"Buzz-"

Before I could even begin to daydream, my phone suddenly vibrated, interrupting me.

Qin Song snapped out of her daze and turned to look at the phone she had tossed aside.

On the phone screen, the three large characters "Shen Yanhui" were prominently displayed.

She picked up her phone and went to the balcony to answer it.

"Hello?" She subconsciously lowered her voice, not wanting Pei Xingzhi to hear.

"Qin Song, what happened to you?" Shen Yan's voice was a bit loud, which startled Qin Song, who quickly turned down the volume on his phone.

"I... I didn't do anything..." she said guiltily, trying to deny it.

Shen Yan replied, "Bullshit! Your incident has been on the news, and almost the entire Yun City knows about it now. You're still telling me nothing happened?"

"That's all fake." Qin Song said helplessly, "I've been tricked by Qin Sisi. I don't know what kind of trouble she's going to cause this time."

"...How did you offend her again?" Shen Yan's voice sounded somewhat speechless.

Qin Song: "I don't know. These male models were all provoked by the original owner of this body. I don't know why Qin Sisi suddenly wants to gather them up."

Shen Yan replied, "Tsk, I'm really impressed. Why won't Qin Sisi let you go?"

Qin Song shrugged: "I'd also like to know the answer to that question."

Shen Yan asked, "This matter has blown up so much now, how do you plan to handle it?"

Qin Song reiterated, "I don't plan to handle this. The bigger this commotion gets, the more popular I will be online, and then you won't need to spend extra money to buy me traffic."

"...What do you mean?" Shen Yan paused for a few seconds. "Are you planning to go all in and become infamous, or something?"

"Yes," Qin Song readily admitted, "Black and red are still red, it's nothing."

Shen Yan replied, "You think it's nothing, but have you considered Pei Xingzhi? Do you know how people outside are mocking him right now?"

"..."

Qin Song didn't really want to answer this question, but as the one at fault, she had no choice but to.

“I know, that’s why I’ve been trying to find a solution.”

"Resolve it?" Shen Yan chuckled on the other end of the phone. "Didn't you just say you weren't planning to deal with this?"

Qin Song: "I really don't intend to deal with this matter, because what I need to deal with are the people behind it."

"...What do you mean?" Shen Yan asked uncertainly, "You want to get rid of Qin Sisi completely?"

Qin Song smirked: "I can only silence her completely by beating her so badly she can't get up."

Shen Yan asked, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Song: "You don't need to worry about that. Go and check on Qin Sisi and Lu Yibai's recent whereabouts. I need it."

“…I give up.” Shen Yanhui rolled her eyes at her phone. “All he does is order me around all day.”

"..." Qin Song remained silent, pretending to be stupid.

Shen Yanhui finally said "Wait" and hung up the phone.

……

The bedroom fell silent again.

Qin Song threw his phone on the bed, buried his face in his palms and rubbed them vigorously, then lifted the covers and lay down on the bed.

That night, Pei Xingzhi did not return until she stared at the ceiling until she fell asleep.

The next day, she woke up from her dream to find that Pei Xingzhi was no longer at home.

He then hid in his studio.

Qin Song didn't contact him. Instead, she was glad that he was at his studio because there were many internet celebrities and gossip reporters waiting to check in at his doorstep.

Those people were making a ruckus outside the door, but they didn't order Qin Song to open it. They were just taking pictures and videos of the doorway on their own.

No one was home, and Qin Song was too lazy to go out and argue with them. She simply called the police and got rid of them all.

Those people were not giving up, and they sneaked back the next day.

Qin Song called the police several times, but the police got annoyed, and so did she, and eventually she stopped caring about it.

Those people tried to ride the wave for a few days, but gradually they stopped coming.

But Pei Xingzhi was still angry with her. For a whole week, he hid in his studio during the day and in his study at night.

Qin Song really didn't want things to turn out this way, so he planned to find some time to have a proper talk with Pei Xingzhi.

Unexpectedly, before she could even find a suitable time, she received a job offer from the Lu Group.

The invitation was sent to her Douyin account, and she didn't see it until the next morning.

The person who sent the invitation said that the Lu Group was preparing to open a new design subsidiary and was urgently recruiting jewelry designers. Lu Yibai had seen Pei Dahua's work and liked her design style very much, so he wanted to make an exception and recruit her.

Qin Song looked at the contents of the invitation and laughed for three hours before finally deciding to reply.

—I'll think about it and give you an answer soon.

The people from the Lu Group replied with smiles: "Okay, Ms. Da Hua, we look forward to your joining us!"

"Looking forward to your grandpa my ass." Qin Song cursed into his phone, then threw it aside.

"Do you even know who Pei Dahua is before sending out invitations like this? Have you lost your mind?"

"Buzz-"

The phone had barely been tossed aside for a minute when it vibrated again, completely ignoring him. Qin Song sighed in annoyance, grabbed the phone with a sour face, pressed the answer button, and said irritably, "Hello, what is it?"

Shen Yan replied, "...I've sent you what you requested."

"And could you please be a little nicer to me?"
