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

"President Zhou, should we tell President Lu about Pei Lingxuan's visit to Qiangsheng Design?"

As soon as Zhou Limin came out of his office, his assistant came up to him and asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Limin turned his head, glanced at Pei Lingxuan who was busy in front of the computer, and replied coldly, "No need. My cooperation with President Lu has ended, and Pei Lingxuan's presence will not have any impact on him."

The assistant frowned, looking somewhat uneasy: "But she is, after all, Pei Xingzhi's sister. Keeping the enemy's sister by my side, I'm worried... she might cause some trouble."

"Hmph." Zhou Limin chuckled and turned to leave the office. "With the Pei family in such a state, what trouble could Pei Lingxuan possibly cause on her own? Let her stay here; her very existence signifies Pei Xingzhi's failure."

"Looking at her makes me feel good."

……

On the way home, Qin Song closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Buzz-"

Suddenly, his phone vibrated twice in his pocket. Qin Song opened his eyes, took out his phone, and held it up to his eyes.

—Sister-in-law, I've seen Zhou Limin.

On the lock screen, a WeChat message from Pei Lingxuan was displayed. Qin Song glanced at it, and his mind instantly cleared.

"Pei Xingzhi, Xiaoxuan saw Zhou Limin." She relayed the WeChat message to Pei Xingzhi in a serious tone.

Pei Xingzhi frowned and asked in a deep voice, "And then? Did anything happen between Xiaoxuan and Zhou Limin?"

Qin Song opened the chat box and started typing: "I'll ask now."

Pei Lingxuan's reply came quickly, and Qin Song read it aloud word for word: "'I spoke a few words with Zhou Limin, and then he left without finding any useful clues.'"

Pei Xingzhi hummed in response, his reaction calm: "Tell Xiaoxuan to stay calm and not to reveal any flaws."

Qin Song nodded and sent his message in its entirety. After sending it, he sat up straight and stared blankly at the street scene outside the window.

"..."

Seeing that she stopped talking, Pei Xingzhi glanced at her sideways and casually started a conversation: "Are you tired?"

Qin Song didn't look at him: "Not bad."

Pei Xingzhi: "We'll be home in twenty more minutes, just bear with it a little longer."

Qin Song: "Okay."

"..."

Then she stopped talking.

Qin Song was a chatterbox, and Pei Xingzhi was never bored whenever he was with her. This silence was unusual for Qin Song, and Pei Xingzhi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Could it be... that what happened this afternoon scared her?

At that time, he was controlled by evil desires, his mind was somewhat out of control, and all he could think about was bullying her. Now that he has fully sobered up, he belatedly realized that he might have gone too far.

Although Qin Song was his wife, they weren't as intimate as other couples. His sudden change of heart must have been difficult for Qin Song to accept.

He thought about it and decided that he might need to apologize.

"Cough, cough..." He cleared his throat, glancing at Qin Song several times with a wandering gaze.

"Xiao Song".

"Hmm?" Qin Song responded softly, but still did not turn to look at him.

He was a little nervous: "About what happened this afternoon, just pretend I was possessed by a ghost, don't take it to heart."

"...Huh?" Qin Song finally gave him a look, but it was one of utter bewilderment.

Pei Xingzhi bit his lip and repeated with difficulty, "Just think of what happened in the room this afternoon as something I did because I was possessed by a ghost. Don't take it too seriously."

"I haven't changed. I'm still the same Pei Xingzhi."

"..." Qin Song stared blankly at him, not understanding a single word.

"Xingzhi, what are you babbling about?"

"I..." Pei Xingzhi was too shy to be too explicit. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his expression conflicted, and said, "N-nothing, just remember, don't take it to heart."

"...Why?" Qin Song didn't understand.

"..." Pei Xingzhi couldn't explain it, so he simply made up a story: "It's for your own good."

"Huh?" Qin Song was getting more and more confused.

Pei Xingzhi: "You're quite far along in your pregnancy now, so it's not good for you to have too many things on your mind. Whatever you're worried about, don't take it to heart. I, Pei Xingzhi, haven't changed; I'm still the same person I always was."

"...Okay." He'd pretend he understood even if he didn't, and turned his gaze forward to continue admiring the scenery.

call……

Pei Xingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The suspected spy, Ms. Zhang, appeared at Pei's mother's doorstep again on time the next day.

Xiao Li sent a WeChat message to Pei's mother last night, saying that someone was coming to view the house today. Pei's mother got up very early, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ms. Zhang already sitting at the door.

"Sigh..." Pei's mother sighed repeatedly, her head aching, and she no longer had the energy to argue with her.

But in order to prevent her from scaring away any more potential buyers, Pei's mother still called Pei Lingxuan out.

Pei Lingxuan tried to persuade her for half an hour, even though she was about to be late for work, but Ms. Zhang still wouldn't budge an inch.

Pei Lingxuan had no choice but to call Qin Song.

"What are you looking for me for?"

The call had just rang when Pei Xingzhi appeared in the corridor, leading Qin Song by the hand.

"Sister-in-law!" Pei Lingxuan rushed over to her as if she had seen a savior.

“Sister-in-law, look at her…” She hugged Qin Song’s arm and rested her head on Qin Song’s shoulder like a little bird.

Qin Song patted the back of her head and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you go to work first, I'll take care of things here."

Pei Lingxuan: "Mm."

As soon as Qin Song appeared, her heart settled down. She jogged back to her room, quickly tidied herself up, and went out while munching on a steamed bun.

Pei Xingzhi: "Wait for me a moment, I'll take you there."

"No need, no need." Pei Lingxuan rushed out, her back disheveled. "I've already hailed a taxi, I have to go first!"

"Xiao Song, come and have breakfast." After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, Madam Pei personally came over and led Qin Song to the dining room.

"Mom bought your favorite beef buns, they're still warm."

Qin Song: "Thank you, Mom, but I won't eat breakfast here."

"Not eating here?" Pei's mother didn't understand what she meant. "Then where are you going to eat?"

Qin Song turned around and pointed to the door: "I'll eat there! Anyway, my job is very flexible, so I'll just keep this Ms. Zhang company."

"..." Ms. Zhang at the door had a dark expression on her face.

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, a smile playing on his lips: "Xiao Song has a lot of mischievous ideas, just let her play around."

"Ah..." Madam Pei nodded, but her eyes were still a little dazed. "Alright."

"What's for my breakfast?" Pei Xingzhi asked Qin Song with a smile, looking at the table full of steaming breakfast.

Qin Song had already started eating the beef buns: "Do you want me to get them for you?"

Pei Xingzhi stared at the steamed bun in her hand: "Okay."

Qin Song: "This beef bun is really delicious, do you want to try it?"

Pei Xingzhi blinked: "Okay."

Qin Song then reached out, picked up a beef bun from the plate in front of him, and held it to Pei Xingzhi's lips.

Pei Xingzhi didn't take it. He shifted his gaze slightly, staring intently at the half-eaten bun in Qin Song's hand. After a moment, he suddenly leaned down and took a bite from the half-eaten bun using Qin Song's hand.
