Xie Zhaoyuan: "Because my mom is coming over to sleep with me later!"

Pei Xingzhi: "Oh..."

"Oh!"

The door slammed shut in front of him, and he stood there dejectedly, clutching his pillow.

"Oh!"

A few seconds later, the same door slamming sounded above Pei Xingzhi's head.

Pei Xingzhi looked up at the stairs and saw Xie Mingyi walking down the stairs dejectedly, carrying a pale yellow pillow with small floral patterns.

"Brother?" Pei Xingzhi called out to him in confusion.

He looked over at the sound and gave Pei Xingzhi a bitter smile: "What a coincidence, Xingzhi."

After speaking, his gaze shifted downwards, and he saw a light green pillow with delicate lace trim in Pei Xingzhi's hand. He paused, then his bitter smile instantly brightened.

"Oh, you got kicked out too?"

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, still a little embarrassed: "I wasn't kicked out. Mom wanted to sleep with Ayuan, so she asked me to go to another room for the time being."

“…Oh.” Xie Mingyi’s smile froze, and he immediately became a little unhappy.

Pei Xingzhi looked at his pillow and asked curiously, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Mingyi walked down the stairs with a blank face: "It's obvious, he was kicked out."

"Why?" Pei Xingzhi asked with a gossipy look on his face.

Xie Mingyi walked towards him: "Because I've gotten into trouble again... Come on, let's sleep together tonight."

“…Huh?” Pei Xingzhi was a little flustered.

Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, Xie Mingyi walked up to him, put his arm around his shoulder, and led him away.

"We're both in the same boat, why don't we sleep together tonight?"

"Xingzhi, do I look like one of those burly, rough men? Why does your sister-in-law always scold me for being too heavy-handed?"

Pei Xingzhi: "...Huh?"

Xie Mingyi: "Hey, has my sister ever cursed at you like that?"

Pei Xingzhi shook his head: "A-Yuan never curses like that."

"Wow, is my sister really this well-behaved?" Xie Mingyi exclaimed in surprise.

Pei Xingzhi: "A Yuan has never scolded me, but she will scold others."

Xie Mingyi: "How exactly did she curse?"

Pei Xingzhi: "She called others idiots and even said they had a tumor on their necks. Sometimes when she was really angry, she would directly order people to jump off buildings, or make them eat rat poison, saying that if they died after taking the poison, it would prove that they were a rat spirit in disguise."

"Hahahaha!!" Xie Mingyi burst into laughter, "My sister is just too funny!"

Pei Xingzhi also smiled: "A-Yuan is especially cute, and it's always a pleasure to be with her."

Xie Mingyi: "No wonder you love her so much..."

Pei Xingzhi: "I really love her."

……

With all the messy things finally resolved, Pei Xingzhi felt much relieved and prepared to focus on dealing with his debts.

"Although President Song didn't say anything at the time, he must still be angry after being ignored by you for so many days. When you go in later, you must make sure to apologize sincerely and not offend President Song again, understand, Brother Pei?"

At the entrance of the upscale villa, Ye Ci repeatedly gave Pei Xingzhi instructions, still worried.

Pei Xingzhi was amused by his nervous appearance and couldn't help but say, "Do I need you to teach me such a simple principle?"

"Tsk..." Ye Ci picked up the gift box at her feet, looking at Pei Xingzhi with a hint of reproach in her eyes, "Brother Pei, am I teaching you? I'm reminding you!"

"You've been driven crazy by that Qin Sisi lately. I'm worried that you're still emotionally charged. If President Song says something unpleasant later, I'm afraid you might just start a fight with her!"

Pei Xingzhi chuckled: "Am I that reckless?"

Ye Ci: "It's not recklessness, it's madness!"

“Pei, you can be really crazy sometimes.”

"For example?" Pei Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, finding Ye Ci's description quite novel.

Ye Ci said with a serious expression: "For example, when you slapped Qin Sisi, when you knelt at the door of the ward to pray for your sister-in-law, and when you scolded those gossip reporters!"

“Brother Pei, I’ve known you for over ten years and I’ve never seen you go crazy before. It’s no exaggeration to say that you weren’t this crazy even when the company went bankrupt.”

"Hmph," Pei Xingzhi chuckled lightly, "Ye Ci, if a company goes bankrupt, you can start over. But if something happens to your sister-in-law, no matter how big the world is, where am I supposed to find another one like her?"

"..." Ye Ci was suddenly stunned, and immediately understood why Pei Xingzhi had gone mad.

"Brother Pei... I was too naive."

Pei Xingzhi shook his head and gently patted Ye Ci's shoulder: "Ye Ci, once you find your own love, you will understand my feelings even more."

Ye Ci pursed her lips and nodded vigorously: "Mm!"

"Come in." Pei Xingzhi straightened his back, turned around and rang the doorbell in front of him. "I hope President Song will be magnanimous and give us another chance."

Ye Ci clenched his fist: "It definitely will!"

……

Although fate often doesn't grant our wishes, it occasionally brings good fortune, bestowing it upon those who work hard.

As Pei Xingzhi wished, Lord Song Zhiguo was magnanimous and not only easily forgave them, but also gave them another chance to make amends.

“President Pei, I can certainly give you the opportunity, but before I do, I need you to grant me one request,” Song Zhiguo said with a smile, leaning back on the sofa.

Pei Xingzhi replied humbly, "Please go ahead, Mr. Song."

Song Zhiguo: "My request is very simple. I just need you to tell me the whole story clearly."

"..." This request was indeed very simple, so simple that Pei Xingzhi was somewhat surprised.

But he quickly composed himself and told Song Zhiguo the whole story.

After hearing this, Song Zhiguo's gaze towards Pei Xingzhi instantly held a hint of appreciation.

"I see. I never expected that President Pei would be so loyal and devoted. I've been in the business world for decades, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone choose their wife over their career."

Pei Xingzhi: "I can work on my future again, but I only have one wife. If something happens to my wife because of my hesitation, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

"Haha..." Song Zhiguo laughed twice, "Why does President Pei put so much psychological pressure on himself? Isn't it said that wives are like clothes? If you lose one wife, you can always find another one?"

"No." Pei Xingzhi rejected his words, saying sternly, "My wife is my life, and I will only ever acknowledge her. If anything happens to her, I will never allow anyone to take her place."

"Oh?" Song Zhiguo dismissed it. "President Pei, you're probably speaking too soon. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"

Pei Xingzhi smiled and said, "I don't want to make any judgments. Time will prove my feelings."

"..." Song Zhiguo looked at him, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.
