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

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

Lin Jiahe could recount a whole sack of embarrassing blind date stories, and Pei Lingxuan laughed all the way to the apartment building entrance, still laughing nonstop.

Lin Jiahe let her laugh as she pleased, not angry at all, and even had the mood to comfort her instead.

"I won't go up. You should go back and get some rest. Don't worry about that scoundrel Zhou Limin."

“I know.” Pei Lingxuan wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and gently patted Lin Jiahe’s shoulder. “Don’t be too anxious. Blind dates are all about fate. If you can’t find the right one, don’t force yourself. Let your parents urge you if they want. As long as you’re thick-skinned enough, you can make them helpless.”

"Mm." Lin Jiahe nodded with a smile, then suddenly took out her phone and showed something to Pei Lingxuan.

"Huh?" Pei Lingxuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Isn't this my resume? How did it end up with you?"

Lin Jiahe: "That studio called Suibian is owned by my childhood friend. I mentioned you to him before, so as soon as he received your resume, he sent it to me."

"Wow!" Pei Lingxuan's lips parted slightly, a hint of surprise appearing in her bright eyes. "What a coincidence! I submitted my resume to your childhood friend's! Did your childhood friend tell you whether I would be hired?"

“Hmm…” Lin Jiahe squinted and thought for a moment, “He didn’t tell me whether you could be hired, he only said that with your education and work experience, it might be a waste for you to stay in his studio.”

“Not at all! Not at all!” Pei Lingxuan waved her hands repeatedly. “He paid me more than Zhou Limin paid me. I stayed there willingly and happily. It’s really not a waste of my talent!”

“Okay.” Lin Jiahe raised an eyebrow and put her phone away. “In that case, I’ll take some time to express your strong desire to work to him and ask him to prepare your workstation in advance.”

Pei Lingxuan: "Really?!?!"

Lin Jiahe retorted, "Why would I need to lie to you?"

“…Thank you!!!” Pei Lingxuan grabbed his arm and swung it excitedly from side to side. “I’ll remember you, Lin Jiahe. I’ll treat you to a meal the day I officially start working here!”

Lin Jiahe smiled casually, "You don't need to treat me to dinner. I should be the one treating you. You're my matchmaking strategist; I need your help with this important life event."

Pei Lingxuan patted her chest, looking completely confident: "No problem! I'll definitely help you!"

"Hmm." Lin Jiahe took two steps back and waved to her. "It's getting late, go back and get some rest. Even though you don't have to work tomorrow, a good night's sleep is still very important."

Pei Lingxuan: "Okay, bye-bye."

Lin Jiahe: "Bye-bye."

Pei's mother got off work a little late today. After dinner, she went to the Xie family to play with her grandson for a while. So when Pei Lingxuan came in, she immediately saw that Pei's mother was still preparing lessons under the desk lamp.

"Mom, you're still awake?" Pei Lingxuan leaned against the doorway, changing her shoes, already quite used to it.

Pei's mother adjusted her glasses and gave a soft "hmm".

Pei Lingxuan changed her shoes and walked towards her room while taking things out of her pockets, tossing them all onto the sofa.

"..." Pei's mother glanced at her with a headache, but instead of scolding her, she asked with a half-smile, "Xiao Xuan, who was the boy who took you home? He doesn't look like Xiao Zhou to me."

Upon hearing this, Pei Lingxuan's back suddenly stiffened.

“…He is not Zhou Limin.” After a pause, she said in a flat tone, “It is Lin Jiahe.”

"Xiao Lin?" Pei's mother looked up, a hint of surprise appearing in her weary eyes. "The person who took you home was Xiao Lin?"

“Yes.” Pei Lingxuan pushed open the bathroom door, but stood there without going in.

Pei's mother turned to look at her: "Why did Xiao Lin take you home? Where's Xiao Zhou? Didn't he hire an assistant specifically to pick you up and drop you off?"

"...There will be no more Xiao Zhou from now on." Pei Lingxuan didn't hide anything from her and told her everything that happened tonight.

“Zhou Limin is Lu Yibai’s good friend. He was also involved in the scheme against the Pei family. I’m disgusted by him, so I cut off all contact with him.”

Those two short sentences instantly darkened Mrs. Pei's expression. She frowned and slowly raised her hand to take off her glasses.

“Okay.” She didn’t say anything, but smiled and said to Pei Lingxuan, “Xiaoxuan, go take a shower first, and then get a good night’s sleep. Don’t rush to find a new job, wait until you’ve rested for a while.”

“…Yes!” Pei Lingxuan nodded.

Pei's mother: "Go take a bath. After you're done, you'll be a clean and tidy Xiaoxuan."

Pei Lingxuan felt a lump in her throat, but she wouldn't allow herself to cry over Zhou Limin's situation, so she tried her best to keep smiling.

"it is good!"

……

"Pei Xingzhi! I want to dance!"

Early in the morning, Xie Zhaoyuan held up her phone and confidently told Pei Xingzhi.

Pei Xingzhi came out of the bathroom with his toothbrush in his mouth and waved to Xie Zhaoyuan.

"Coming!" Xie Zhaoyuan ran over with small, quick steps and nestled obediently into Pei Xingzhi's arms.

With a mouthful of foam, Pei Xingzhi asked her indistinctly, "Why do you suddenly want to dance?"

Xie Zhaoyuan tilted her head back in his arms, gazing at his slender neck and sexy Adam's apple with a slightly infatuated look: "My Douyin followers have already exceeded ten million, right? Since a few days ago, many fans have been sending me private messages asking me to give them something as a treat. I didn't know what to give, so I asked in the comments section, and they all said they wanted to see me dance."

"Have you decided what kind of dance you want to do?" Pei Xingzhi asked with a smile, ruffling her hair.

Xie Zhaoyuan shook her head: "I... I'm not coordinated and I'm a bit ugly when I dance, so I plan to find a very simple dance to learn."

“Okay.” Pei Xingzhi put his arm around her and led her into the bathroom to help him wash up.

"Besides dancing, what other perks are there?"

Xie Zhao leaned against him and said lazily, "Yes, I'm also planning to randomly select twenty fans and give each of them a necklace that I designed myself. Each necklace will be worth no less than four figures!"

"Hmm." Pei Xingzhi looked at her in the mirror and gave her an approving look. "Very good."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Then I'll go choose a dance now!"

After saying that, she turned to run away, but the next second, Pei Xingzhi suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back forcefully.

"Ouch!" She bumped back into Pei Xingzhi's arms, looking up at him blankly. "What's wrong?"

Pei Xingzhi wrapped his arms around her waist, looked down at the small mole on the tip of her nose, and deliberately put on a stern face: "A-Yuan, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time."

Xie Zhaoyuan was startled by his overly serious expression and felt inexplicably nervous.

"What's the problem?"

Pei Xingzhi tilted his head slightly: "You always call me by my full name, but you've never called me 'husband' even once."

"why?"
