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

"Heh..." Ye Ci shook his head with a cold laugh, "It's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart. If you hadn't told me all this, I would have really thought he was some kind of devoted and unwavering lover."

"A love-struck fool?" Pei Xingzhi lowered his phoenix eyes slightly, his gaze full of mockery. "He doesn't deserve it."

“Sigh…” Ye Ci sighed, becoming more and more speechless as he thought about it. “Whenever his wife is mentioned, Song Zhiguo gets teary-eyed. The way he wipes away his tears and repents is even better than those professional actors.”

"If you ask me, he chose the wrong path back then. He shouldn't have gone into business; he should have gone to perform in a Southern opera troupe."

Ye Ci had a lot of grievances against Song Zhiguo. Even after the car had driven two kilometers, he was still angrily cursing.

Pei Xingzhi took off his glasses and slowly wiped the lenses amidst his incoherent cursing.

After carefully cleaning both sides of the lenses and slightly adjusting the angle of the temples, Pei Xingzhi put his glasses back on, just as Ye Ci's cursing had stopped.

“Brother Pei, you shouldn’t have told me that Song Zhiguo is such a heartless and despicable person. Now I feel disgusted whenever I think of him.”

Pei Xingzhi smiled helplessly: "Whether I tell you or not, Song Zhiguo is that kind of person."

"Don't even think about it. We're in business. In business, we only care about profits, not character. Even if he's rotten to the core, we should still cooperate."

“I know.” Ye Ci frowned, looking unhappy. “Song Zhiguo not only invested money in us, but also paid out of his own pocket to buy us a new studio. No matter how much I hate him, I will still do my best to save face for him.”

“Yes.” Pei Xingzhi nodded. “Song Zhiguo is very generous to us. Although his generosity is more to alleviate his own guilt, as the beneficiaries of this matter, we have no reason to refuse.”

"Business is business, and life is life. No matter how bad his life is, it has nothing to do with our business."

"Forget about him and get ready for new challenges."

Ye Ci took a deep breath: "Okay!"

……

Song Zhiguo's funds arrived quickly; on the fifth day after the contract was signed, the three million he invested had already reached Pei Xingzhi's studio account.

Furthermore, the new studio he prepared with his own money is now largely complete.

"Think about it, look at your auntie, your auntie is right here..."

Pei Lingxuan twirled the rattle drum, making Xiangxiang in the crib giggle.

Xie Zhaoyuan lay lazily on the bed, dawdling as she rushed to finish the client's design drawings.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't finished drawing that leaf yet?" Pei Lingxuan glanced at her briefly and asked curiously when she saw that she was still in a state of panic.

Xie Zhaoyuan put down the tablet, unable to make any expression.

"I've already drawn the leaves, but I just can't seem to get the colors right."

Pei Lingxuan: "What color is so hard to mix?"

Xie Zhaoyuan looked at her expressionlessly: "A multicolored white."

"...Multicolored, yet white?" Pei Lingxuan's mind was completely confused. "What color is this?"

"I don't know." Xie Zhaoyuan turned off the tablet and tossed it to the foot of the bed. "I'm not drawing anymore. I'm not even finished my postpartum confinement yet. What's the point of drawing for them?"

“Exactly,” Pei Lingxuan agreed.

Xie Zhaoyuan shifted her position and moved next to the crib to play with the baby with Pei Lingxuan.

The little boy loves to laugh, especially when Xie Zhaoyuan makes him laugh. Whenever Xie Zhaoyuan takes out a toy to amuse him, he laughs nonstop.

"Ouch, a little bug bit Xiangxiang's toe..."

"Hey hey hey..."

"The little bug crawls and crawls, and then it comes to bite Xiangxiang's little ear..."

"Hey Hey……"

Imagine him staring at Xie Zhaoyuan with wide, round eyes, and Xie Zhaoyuan would just casually pick up a caterpillar toy and tease him a couple of times, and he would laugh so hard that his eyes would squint.

"This brat is so cute." Xie Zhaoyuan's heart was almost melted by his cuteness. She couldn't help but take out her phone and film a video of him grinning like an idiot and send it to Pei Xingzhi.

—Your son.

Pei Xingzhi returned a few minutes later.

—I saw my son, but where is my wife?

Xie Zhaoyuan opened her camera, took a picture of herself raising her hand, and sent it over.

—Your wife is here.

Pei Xingzhi: Look at my wife.

Then they made a video call right away.

"Ahem..." Xie Zhaoyuan cleared her throat and reminded Pei Xingzhi before connecting the video call.

—Xiaoxuan is right next to me, so you're not allowed to say anything outrageous.

Pei Xingzhi replied instantly: Okay, my wife.

Xie Zhaoyuan chuckled to herself before answering the video call with a sense of relief.

"A-Yuan." Pei Xingzhi smiled gently on the other end of the video call, his eyes sparkling with laughter.

Xie Zhaoyuan waved to him, then flipped the camera over, making him look at it and think.

Pei Lingxuan: "Think about it, your father is here."

"Uh..." Thinking that she seemed to understand what she was saying, she immediately responded in a childish voice.

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, and couldn't help but raise his voice when speaking to Xiangxiang.

"Think about it, can you see Daddy? Daddy's here."

Xiang Xiang had her big, clear eyes wide open, her gaze fixed on the rattle drum in Pei Lingxuan's hand, clearly not noticing her father.

Xie Zhaoyuan openly mocked him: "Xiangxiang only has toys in her eyes, she doesn't have time to look at you."

Pei Xingzhi chuckled: "You heartless little thing, you forget about your father as soon as you get a toy."

"Hahahaha." Pei Lingxuan laughed gleefully a few times. "Brother, have you finished moving your studio?"

Pei Xingzhi flipped the camera over to show her the messy studio. "Not yet. It'll probably be moved all by tomorrow afternoon."

"I'm exhausted...I'm exhausted!!" Ye Ci yelled as she passed by Pei Xingzhi. "Sister-in-law, I want water! I want milk tea!!"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Okay, I'll buy it for you in a bit."

Pei Xingzhi pursed his lips: "Just buy him a cup of Mixue Ice Cream, a cup of lemonade will be enough to make him climb the eight floors five more times."

Thinking about how she was so busy having fun that she hadn't had a chance to look at Pei Xingzhi, Xie Zhaoyuan simply flipped the camera back to admire Pei Xingzhi's handsome face.

"Ye Ci drinks Mixue Ice Cream, what will you drink? I'll buy you some too."

Pei Xingzhi poked her cheek through the screen: "I'm fine with anything, you choose for me."

Xie Zhaoyuan rested her chin on her hand and nodded blankly: "Okay, and while you're at it, ask the other employees in the studio what they want to drink, I'll treat them."

"Wow!" Ye Ci passed through the camera's view for the second time and yelled again, "The boss lady is giving out milk tea! Everyone, come and order!"

"Wow!!"

As soon as Ye Ci finished speaking, a series of monkey shouts rang out in the studio. The employees, who were covered in dust from the move, all rushed behind Pei Xingzhi and waved to Xie Zhaoyuan in the video.

"Thank you, boss lady!"

"Boss lady, I want more pizza!"

“I want fried chicken!”

Xie Zhaoyuan gave an "OK" sign to the camera: "All arranged!"

"Sister-in-law, I should probably go now."

As soon as the video call ended, Pei Lingxuan put down the rattle and stood up from her chair.

"Zhou Limin plans to confess his feelings to me tonight, and I should end things with him."
