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

"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi loosened his grip on her slightly, kissed her cheeks twice, and then asked patiently and gently, "Why can't you sleep? Are you feeling unwell or something on your mind?"

"I have something on my mind," Xie Zhaoyuan said honestly.

Pei Xingzhi reached out a hand and gently cupped her cheek: "Tell me about it."

Xie Zhaoyuan turned to look at him: "I've told you, so please don't be angry."

"I'm not angry." Pei Xingzhi smiled, his eyes crinkling, and his gaze towards Xie Zhaoyuan was so tender it seemed to melt her heart.

"As long as you're by my side, I won't get angry no matter how much nonsense you do. All I want is for you to be in front of me, for you to be happy, nothing else matters."

Xie Zhaoyuan raised an eyebrow: "Then shall I tell you?"

"Speak freely." Pei Xingzhi gently pinched her nose and then tapped the small mole on the tip of her nose with his fingertip. "Say whatever you're thinking. Your husband will never be angry with you."

“…Alright.” Xie Zhaoyuan organized her thoughts for a moment, then said in a somber tone, “I’m still thinking about Qin Wushuang’s death.”

“I know.” Pei Xingzhi looked down at her, his words containing no resentment, only understanding and heartache. “A Yuan never thought he would die, let alone that he would die so… suddenly and tragically.”

“…Yes.” Xie Zhaoyuan sighed softly, “I never imagined he would choose such an end for himself.”

“Actually, I hadn’t thought about it either.” Pei Xingzhi’s eyes were somewhat dazed. “I thought that someone as shameless, cunning and treacherous as him would rather live a miserable life than think about dying.”

"But unexpectedly, he had already planned his death so early. Perhaps it was because he had been burdened by that secret for too long and no longer wanted to carry it."

“…He deserved it.” Although Xie Zhaoyuan had not yet accepted his suicide, she felt that he deserved this fate.

"He did something so bad that even dying five times over wouldn't be enough to atone for it."

“I know,” Pei Xingzhi said again. “I understand what A Yuan means. A Yuan doesn’t pity him; she just hasn’t realized that he’s already dead.”

"Hmm." Xie Zhaoyuan nodded. "I just didn't react, and I didn't fully accept it. Because in my heart, Qin Wushuang is a bastard who would never be willing to die."

“Yes, he was a bastard.” Pei Xingzhi smiled and turned her face to face him. “But the bastard is dead now, so let’s not think about him anymore, okay?”

The words were spoken gently, but Xie Zhaoyuan detected a hint of sarcasm in them: "Didn't you say you wouldn't get angry? Why are you talking like this now?"

“Hmph,” Pei Xingzhi chuckled coldly, and said frankly, “I only promised myself I wouldn’t get angry, not that I wouldn’t be jealous.”

"Hmm?" Xie Zhaoyuan was unable to refute it.

Pei Xingzhi rubbed her face; it no longer felt as soft and tender as before.

"Ah Yuan, have you not been eating properly lately? How come you've lost so much weight?"

Hsieh Chao-yuan: "I eat well, I eat three meals a day on time, and I try to eat my fill. But I don't know why, I just lost weight."

"Perhaps it's because of excessive worry and missing someone too much."

"Silly girl." Pei Xingzhi looked at her with heartache, then lowered his head and kissed her lips hard. He released her after the kiss.

But he actually wanted to continue kissing her, but considering that Xie Zhaoyuan's body and mind had not yet recovered, he dared not make any excessive moves.

"Pei Xingzhi, tell me about yourself." Xie Zhaoyuan rolled over and snuggled tightly into Pei Xingzhi's arms. "What have you been busy with lately? I heard from Qin Wushuang that you've already slept with both Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi?"

“Yes!” Speaking of this, Pei Xingzhi couldn’t help but become proud. “I released all the evidence step by step according to our plan. Now Lu Yibai is being watched by the supervisory team, and the stock price of Lu’s Group has been plummeting, and its market value is constantly evaporating.”

"I did a rough calculation, and as of today, the market value of Lu's Group has evaporated by nearly 50 billion! If this continues, his company will have to declare bankruptcy."

"Great!" Xie Zhaoyuan's eyes widened with excitement, and she couldn't help but give Pei Xingzhi a thumbs up. "So what are you planning to do next?"

Pei Xingzhi held her hand and kissed it repeatedly: "He already knows that Fang Bo is in my hands. He can't handle the pressure, so he came directly to me wanting to make a deal with me."

"A trade?" Xie Zhaoyuan narrowed her eyes. "What does he want to exchange Fang Bo for?"

Pei Xingzhi: "He gave me the decision-making power, saying that as long as I asked, he would do whatever he could. He showed great sincerity."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "So how did you reply to him?"

Pei Xingzhi took off his glasses and casually placed them on his pillow, letting the world blur in his eyes, leaving only a clear image of Xie Zhaoyuan.

"Of course I said yes! He showed such sincerity, how could I bear to refuse him?"

"Hmph..." Xie Zhaoyuan was amused by his affectation, "So how did you agree?"

Pei Xingzhi: "I told him that the conditions he offered were really tempting, and I would seriously consider them and give him an answer. He was won over by my coaxing, and these past few days he's been glued to his phone waiting for my call."

"He's waiting for your call, but who are you waiting for?" Xie Zhaoyuan asked knowingly.

Pei Xingzhi replied cooperatively, "I'm waiting for you. When you come back, we'll give Lu Yibai a big gift together."

"Hmm." Xie Zhaoyuan nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "What about Qin Sisi? How did you get back at her?"

Pei Xingzhi: "I first had Ji Mingxuan deliver a summons to her, and then I had Lu Yibai's assistant tell her that Fang Bo was still alive. She was terrified and is probably trying to run away now."

"Run?" Xie Zhaoyuan's expression changed instantly. "Where does she think she can run to?"

Pei Xingzhi gently patted her face reassuringly: "No matter where she wants to run, she can't escape. Qin Wushuang is dead, and the Qin Group is in complete chaos. Qin Feihong has no time to care about her right now, and she would never dare to tell Qin Feihong about Fang Bo."

"So even if she had to run, she could only do it secretly by herself. She's not a composed person, and in this situation, she definitely wouldn't be able to come up with any good way to escape."

"Ah..." Xie Zhaoyuan understood, "So it's a death throes, then it's nothing to fear."

“Of course she’s nothing to fear.” Pei Xingzhi pulled the blanket up and wrapped Xie Zhaoyuan up tightly. “In the face of my wife’s exceptional intelligence, all her struggles are in vain.”

"Go to sleep, baby, your husband is right beside you."
