"You found out again?"

Jiang Hua didn't like his self-righteous attitude, but this country bumpkin always seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking.

"At least I know that Shen Yebai can't withstand your actions."

Apart from Pei Zhan, no one else could tolerate his temper.

The computer screen on the desk clearly showed the five-finger mark on Pei Zhan's face, which had not yet faded.

Feeling the coldness on her wrist, Jiang Hua looked down and saw Pei Zhan take out a silver and purple diamond bracelet from his suit pocket and put it on her wrist.

The silver chain forms the main body, with a few small diamonds as accessories. It is simple yet elegant and suits her hand perfectly. This bracelet is a work designed by the famous British fashion designer Kate.

Jiang Hua thought it looked familiar. "Isn't this an item from an auction? Weren't you socializing? When did you buy it?"

Didn't you say you had no money?

"You lied again."

"A conflict? Haven't I always been fully aware of Mrs. Pei's whereabouts?" Pei Zhan adjusted his position by holding her slender waist, and moved the mouse with his other hand, lighting up the black computer screen. When he opened the stock page, which Jiang Hua didn't quite understand, she counted the balance. Pei Zhan told her, "I did spend almost all my savings before, and used the last few hundred thousand I had to buy a few stocks and make some money. The terms of the employment contract with Jiang's only prohibit me from opening other companies, not from making money through such means."

So now Pei Zhan has made more than 300 million yuan from the stocks he has.

"There are many ways to make money, not just starting a business."

"The stock market can be manipulated. To put it simply, it's about buying low and selling high to make a profit from the price difference."

Pei Zhan always said he gave her all his money, but that wasn't true. The amount she spent in a day was less than the amount he earned.

"Then how do you know when it will fall and when it will rise?"

"The stocks I bought all have corresponding collaborations with companies under the Jiang family. By analyzing their financial situation in recent years, it is not difficult to deduce the details."

Jiang Hua touched the bracelet on her wrist. The auction price was 30 million. Seeing that she didn't believe it, Pei Zhan opened another transaction record. "The 30 million I just mentioned is just enough to win the bid."

The account balance of over 300 million yuan is barely enough to support her for a while. A set of the most expensive and top-tier skincare products costs over a million yuan, not to mention... the latest bags every season, beautiful dresses, and haute couture gowns for banquets. These are all disposable items for Jiang Hua.

The cost of food is already the lowest.

Spending three to five million a day is common for Jiang Hua. She has no concept of money at all. If she sees something she likes, she would hesitate before buying it, unlike other people. But for Jiang Hua, if she likes it, she will buy it even if it costs ten times more than in the mall.

Nothing costs more money than raising her.

Pei Zhan still reeked of alcohol when Jiang Hua was turned around, and the two faced each other. His intense gaze was fixed on her, and she looked away uncomfortably. "Are you... done being angry now?"

"He touched your hand?"

Jiang Hua glared at him angrily, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"I have nothing to do with him."

Pei Zhan was drowsy, a thin mist seemingly rising from his dark eyes. His voice deepened, becoming magnetic, "Yes, whatever you say!" He slowly leaned closer, pressing his forehead against Jiang Hua's.

I must have really drunk too much, because every breath I took felt heavy.

The smell of alcohol, mixed with the incense on his suit, gave Jiang Hua a hazy, intoxicated feeling, causing her heart to flutter.

With a double entendre, carrying two obvious meanings of distrust, and more like a hint, Jiang Hua suddenly changed the subject, "I forgot, I touched him more than just my hand."

Jiang Hua immediately felt the hand around her waist tighten its grip, and then her body was lifted into the air as Pei Zhan used both hands to firmly support her hips and lift her up.

"what are you doing!"

Pei Zhan: "Wash Mrs. Pei from head to toe."

Even though he was quite drunk, every step he took was steady and reassuring.

Pei Zhan filled the bathtub with hot water, quickly lathered the shower gel in his palms, and applied it to her snow-white skin. "Yun Sina was your former boss in Haishi. How come I've never heard you mention her before?"

"I had been working in the sales department of the Haishi branch for six months when she was promoted and sent to Hong Kong. I took her place in Haishi. In just three years, she became the head of the Hong Kong branch."

This time, the bath was truly a bath; nothing else was done. Jiang Hua enjoyed his service with a clear conscience. Half an hour later, Jiang Hua had her hair dried and went to bed. Pei Zhan then came out of the bathroom, wearing a dark gray striped pajama set.

Jiang Hua lay on the bed, half asleep. Pei Zhan lifted the covers and got into bed, naturally pulling the woman next to him closer. Jiang Hua opened her eyes slightly, and Pei Zhan leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Sleep."

He reached out to touch the light switch by the bedside to turn off the light, but just then, the screen of their phones, which were placed together, lit up with a message interface.

There was one more message left, unanswered, which happened to fall into Pei Zhan's line of sight.

Shen Yebai: Remember to send me a message when you get home.

The message was sent more than forty minutes ago.

It was nearly 11 p.m. when Shen Yebai, dressed in light-colored pajamas, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine in his hand. A message notification sounded from the desk behind him. He turned around with his cool gaze, walked to the desk, picked up his phone, and swiped the screen. A message that overflowed with provocation caught his eye.

She slept.

These three words are enough to prove that the previous unpleasantness was nothing more than a minor squabble between the couple.

After replying to the message, Pei Zhan put down his phone, turned off the lights in the room, and fell asleep with his wife in his arms.

For almost a year now, the two have shared a bed, and Pei Zhan has helped her get used to sleeping in the dark. Sleeping with the lights on for extended periods is bad for her health.

When Jiang Hua woke up the next morning, she was still suffering from a hangover headache. So when she woke up, the man beside her was still there. When she couldn't lie still any longer, she got up, washed up in the bathroom, walked to the bedside, picked up her phone, and checked for any unanswered messages. When she swiped the screen, she saw a message that she hadn't sent to Shen Yebai.

Jiang Hua merely glanced at it, then calmly put her phone down again…
