No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Unfortunately, an hour earlier, Jiang Hua received a call from Yulong Bay. Her father told her that there was an important meeting this morning that required Pei Zhan's personal presence. However, a few minutes into the meeting, Pei Zhan suddenly left. The person Jiang's family was hosting today was a high-ranking executive from the Huo Group. Due to his absence, the contract to be signed was temporarily cancelled.

His father called Pei Zhan several times, but he didn't answer, so he had no choice but to ask him.

In the past, Jiang Hua would always ask for Pei Zhan's schedule. Even if he knew it, he would arrange to go on business trips abroad or to other places to make things easier for her.

Gradually, Jiang Hua stopped asking about his whereabouts, and now they don't even have each other's phone numbers anymore.

Jiang Hua had never known Pei Zhan's whereabouts, nor was she interested in knowing. To avoid worrying him, she made up a random excuse and blamed the cause on her.

As for the other directors, Dad also made up an excuse to get by.

Seeing them together at the school gate now, Jiang Hua wasn't surprised at all.

When Pei Zhan returned from Wuchuan, Jiang Hua already knew that during his two weeks in Wuchuan, Pei Zhan would fall completely in love with Song Qingran, and might even... give her a formal title.

The more she wants a divorce, the more counterproductive it will be.

If this time it really is like in her previous life, Jiang Hua doesn't need to do anything at all; she can just quietly wait for Pei Zhan to personally bring up the topic of divorce.

"Jiang...Senior Jiang..."

“I… I only met Mr. Pei on the way, and he just gave me a ride.”

The panic in Song Qingran's eyes was simply the fear that Jiang Hua would reveal their relationship.

After all... if word got out that she was being kept as a mistress by a sugar daddy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hua suddenly walked past her and headed towards Pei Zhan's car. Song Qingran's eyes revealed shock as she watched Jiang Hua get into the car.

Seeing her rummaging through things, Pei Zhan asked, "What are you looking for?" His tone was calm, showing no dissatisfaction because of Jiang Hua's appearance or Song Qingran's presence. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would do something wrong.

It wasn't until Jiang Hua found the check for 100,000 yuan next to the passenger seat that things changed.

She didn't say a word. After finding the item, she turned around and left in front of Song Qingran.

This morning, while she was looking at documents in Pei Zhan's car, the check was tucked inside. It wasn't until Professor Guo gave her a bank card with a deposit of 100,000 yuan that she remembered the check.

Jiang Hua ignored him and sat in the passenger seat. Looking to the side, she saw that Song Qingran's gaze was still fixed on her. Was there some confusion and jealousy in his eyes? He kept saying that he had nothing to do with Pei Zhan, so what did this expression mean?

Suddenly, Jiang Hua felt a playful urge. "Sorry, but since you're in a sponsorship relationship, I thought I'd take the initiative."

"It feels really good to be kept without having to work hard."

"Song, I'm going to have lunch with your Mr. Pei, would you like to join us?"

After returning from the hospital, Song Qingran realized that she hadn't eaten. After he called, she went to the hospital with him. Her stomach was empty and she was so hungry that she felt a spasmodic pain.

Song Qingran's face turned deathly pale, and she stood there stunned. Jiang Hua didn't bother to look at her reaction anymore, and instead looked ahead and closed the car window.

"Go to Xiangweiju."

Jiang Hua raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was 1:30. She had arranged to have lunch with Shen Yebai at 12:00, but she had been so busy that she forgot the time. She only remembered when her father called her.

Pei Zhan's deep eyes left her, and after hesitating for a moment, he stepped on the gas. "Haven't eaten yet?"

She didn't respond, keeping her head down as she replied to Shen Yebai's messages.

Shen Yebai: I'll have Xie Huai pick you up.

Jiang Hua agreed without hesitation: Okay.

After replying to the text message, Jiang Hua finally said one thing to him: "Put it down for me on the side of the road."

Jiang Hua stuffed the documents she had brought into her bag and waited for Pei Zhan to pull over. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the gas and sped up during the last five seconds of the green light.

"You can't understand what I'm saying?" Jiang Hua frowned as she looked at him.

"I need you to stop the car."

Pei Zhan: "Let's go eat first."

Jiang Hua felt more impatient with him. Since they were both going to Xiangweiju and the distance wasn't too far, she decided to leave it at that. She then sent a message to Chen Yebai, telling Xie Huai not to bother making the trip again.

Little did they know, this wasn't the way to Xiangweiju at all.

I wonder what tricks Pei Zhan is up to.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, we arrived at a French restaurant that's very difficult to book in France. They have a rule that everyone, regardless of who they are, must make a reservation to dine there. Jiang Hua had been here once before…

The car stopped, and a waiter in a suit and bow tie opened the door. "Madam, please be careful."

Pei Zhan got out of the car, went over and talked to another waiter, and then hurriedly ran into the restaurant's kitchen.

"Sir, Madam, please come in!"

Jiang Hua walked in front, with Pei Zhan following behind her. When they arrived at a second-floor rooftop dining table with a view, the second floor, which should have been packed with people, was now completely empty.

Because Jiang Hua was unaware that a notification had been received a dozen minutes earlier, before Jiang Hua arrived, that all guests coming to the second floor had been turned away, and the area had been cleared out.

There was also elegant music playing the violin nearby…

The waiter said, "Madam, this is the best seat in our entire restaurant. It's usually very difficult to get a reservation. Please take a look at the menu first."

Someone had already pulled out chairs from the table, and Jiang Hua sat down. Pei Zhan sat opposite her and said, "Bring one of everything on the menu."

The waiter left respectfully with the menu, saying, "Yes, sir."

Even so, Jiang Hua didn't even glance at him, busy looking down at her phone, seemingly texting someone.

Pei Zhan waited for her quietly for a while.

Soon, the waiter brought out the pre-dinner desserts, all sorts of them, and placed them in front of Jiang Hua.

After replying to the last message, Jiang Hua put her phone on the table, glanced at the exquisite pastries on the table, and showed no emotion whatsoever on her face.

"I think I told you before that I was going to Xiangweiju."

Pei Zhan got up and ladled a bowl of sweet soup for her, placing it beside her. "I have to go back to the company soon anyway, so this is on my way."

This place is indeed quite close to the Jiang Group.

"You hid our marriage because you were afraid Song Qingran would find out? Now you're leaving her hanging, aren't you afraid she'll be unhappy?"

Pei Zhan: "Doesn't Miss Jiang just like secret affairs?"

He used the words Jiang Hua had just said to brush her off.

"You can make it public anytime you wish."
