"You're so busy with work that you always forget to eat breakfast. I was worried you'd upset your stomach, so I made breakfast myself and brought it over. You didn't like the things I bought you the other day, so I hope you'll like what I made today?"

"..." Pei Xingzhi kept a straight face and did not answer her.

She handed the breakfast box to Pei Xingzhi, looking at the man in front of her with expectant eyes, hoping that he would accept it immediately or show a hint of surprise.

But, no.

Pei Xingzhi turned his head to the side and waved to Qin Song, who was not far away, calling out gently, "Qin Song, come here."

Qin Song walked over as instructed, his smiling gaze sweeping over Shen Yan Hui without showing any surprise at her appearance.

"what happened?"

Pei Xingzhi smiled faintly, put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her into his arms before answering Shen Yanhui's question.

"I'm sorry, my wife and I have already had breakfast. You can take this breakfast home and eat it yourself."

"..." A noticeable crack appeared on Shen Yan's warm expression. She took a deep breath, staring intently at Qin Song with hostility, her hand gripping the insulated box trembling almost imperceptibly.

That was a manifestation of the fingers exerting maximum force while having to suppress it.

Qin Song took in her reaction, a mocking smile curving his lips.

"Did Miss Shen make this breakfast herself?" she asked, knowing the answer already.

Shen Yanhui gritted her teeth, her delicately drawn eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes filled with blatant provocation.

"Yes. Xingzhi is too busy and always forgets to eat breakfast. He only eats one or two meals occasionally, and they are always unhealthy street food. I am worried that this is not good for his health, so I personally make some healthy food for him."

As she spoke, Shen Yan smiled smugly: "You know, Xingzhi is always without anyone to take care of him. If I don't pay attention to him, who else will care about him?"

This tone of voice perfectly matches the character of Shen Yanhui as described in the novel—arrogant, bold, passionate, and daring to fight and grab.

However, there is also a subtle difference that is not easily noticeable.

Qin Song vaguely remembered that Shen Yan Hui's relentless pursuit of Pei Xing Zhi began after Pei Xing Zhi divorced the female supporting character. Although Shen Yan Hui liked Pei Xing Zhi, she always had a clear standard in her heart—no matter how much she loved him, she could not become a mistress.

Shen Yanhui is a wealthy heiress. Her upbringing and prestigious status do not allow her to do something so shameful for a man.

That's why she waited until Pei Xingzhi got divorced before appearing.

But now, Qin Song hasn't even divorced Pei Xingzhi yet, and she's already so impatiently and openly trying to steal him away?

This is somewhat different from what's written in the novel.

"No need for you to trouble yourself."

Qin Song was still lost in her own thoughts and hadn't come to her senses when Pei Xingzhi suddenly answered Shen Yanhui's question for her.

Shen Yanhui's expression froze, and she looked at Pei Xingzhi with undisguised astonishment.

Pei Xingzhi hugged Qin Song tightly, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face: "Yan Hui, when I said I didn't like breakfast, it was just a polite way of refusing you. Actually, I eat breakfast on time every day because my wife is always there to supervise me."

"No matter what time I leave for work, Qin Song always prepares breakfast for me in advance. I have enough of her thoughtfulness, so I don't need to trouble you. Thank you for your kindness."

Pei Xingzhi spoke these words casually, but Shen Yanhui inexplicably felt that he was showing off, showing off his happiness and bliss.

Unwilling to give up, she pushed the insulated food container forward again: "Xingzhi, I made this breakfast myself. Are you sure you want to be so cruel as to reject me?"

Pei Xingzhi nodded firmly, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever: "I'm sorry, I've already eaten. My wife prepared a delicious breakfast, I don't need anything else."

"..." Shen Yan Hui instantly lost the confidence to say anything more.

Pei Xingzhi: "Yan Hui, you don't need to go through all this trouble anymore. My wife and I have to go out, so we'll be going now."

After saying that, Pei Xingzhi led Qin Song past Shen Yanhui without paying her any more attention.

She clutched the insulated box tightly in her hand and suddenly called out to Pei Xingzhi just as he was about to get into the car.

"Xingzhi, I didn't drive today, could you give me a ride?"

Pei Xingzhi paused in his action of opening the door and glanced at her sideways.

She adjusted her expression, forced a smile, and turned to look at Pei Xingzhi: "I'm going to your studio to discuss the project. Could you give me a ride there on your way?"

"..."

When the project was mentioned, Pei Xingzhi hesitated, as expected.

Qin Song glanced at him and generously agreed on his behalf: "Okay. Anyway, I'm going to the studio after Xingzhi drops me off, so Miss Shen, please get in the car and come along."

Shen Yan Hui didn't stand on ceremony with her and strode over immediately upon hearing this.

“Qin Song…” Pei Xingzhi’s expression changed slightly. For a moment, he was not sure whether Qin Song’s actions were genuine magnanimity or a deliberate act of anger.

He was a little nervous and instinctively wanted to explain.

"I……"

"It's alright." Qin Song interrupted him, his expression showing no sign of surprise. "Since it's for work, it's fine if we give Miss Shen a ride along the way. I told you, I trust you."

"Let's go." Shen Yanhui didn't treat herself like an outsider and got into the car and sat down as soon as she arrived.

“Then I’ll explain what happened this morning to you properly after I get off work,” Pei Xingzhi said to Qin Song in a clear voice, without any attempt to hide Shen Yanhui’s presence.

Qin Song nodded: "Okay."

Shen Yanhui's presence made the half-hour journey feel exceptionally long. Pei Xingzhi kept a close eye on Qin Song's mood while driving, afraid that she might be even slightly unhappy.

Surprisingly, Qin Song was not unhappy at all; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

Qin Song had always thought that if she wanted to be with Pei Xingzhi, she would have to deal with Shen Yanhui's interference. However, she hadn't expected Pei Xingzhi to behave so well, standing right in front of Shen Yanhui the entire time she appeared, effectively blocking Shen Yanhui's path. Qin Song didn't even have a chance to respond to Shen Yanhui's provocations.

She didn't even have to do anything; she just had to hide in Pei Xingzhi's arms and wait for him to take care of things.

She transmigrated into a book and unexpectedly met such a wonderful man; it was impossible for her not to be happy!

"arrive."

The car stopped in front of the office building from yesterday, and Pei Xingzhi bent down to personally help Qin Song unbuckle his seatbelt.

"sister in law!"

Pei Lingxuan had just gotten out of the car, and as soon as she saw Qin Song appear, she happily ran over and affectionately and naturally took Qin Song's arm.

"Goodbye, brother!"

She waved to Pei Xingzhi in the car, and only when she turned to leave did she realize that Shen Yanhui was sitting in the back seat.

"Oh my god, how could she be here?" Her expression suddenly changed, and deep fear showed in her eyes.
