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

When Jiang Hua woke up, the room was empty under the dim light. She lay on the tatami mat, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and felt that something was missing. It felt like this place was an unlocked iron cage. She could go out freely, but she was wearing long shackles on her feet. No matter where she went, these shackles would bring her back.

In the quiet night, Jiang Hua felt she had slept enough. She left the room barefoot. The maid noticed her coming out and immediately grabbed a pair of shoes to follow behind her.

"Madam, your husband just called. He might not be back until very late tonight, so please rest and don't wait for him."

"You were asleep just now, so we didn't disturb you."

Jiang Hua crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips, and chuckled, "He certainly knows how to be delusional."

"Madam, would you like to have a meal?"

"Mmm." Jiang Hua was dressed casually at home, wearing a fitted halter dress made of the finest silk. Silver moonlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing her in its glow, making her skin appear bright and fair. Her waist-length curly hair fell slightly messily over her shoulders, each strand beautiful and delicate.

The corridor was carpeted, so Jiang Hua didn't feel cold at all; instead, she felt a softness. When she got downstairs, a meal was already prepared on the table. Jiang Hua sat at a long rectangular table that could seat dozens of people, with more than a dozen servants surrounding her.

The maid came over and said, "This is a diet plan specially made for Madam by a nutritionist. It is all based on Madam's taste."

As long as no one speaks, the surroundings are completely quiet, I really don't know.

Jiang Hua held a golden spoon in her hand, took a sip of the pumpkin soup with a hint of cream, but suddenly felt inexplicably irritable. After only a few bites, she put down the spoon and said, "I have no appetite, I'm not eating."

"It tastes terrible."

The maid stepped forward in a panic and asked, "Madam, you've only taken one bite, why don't you eat some more?"

"If it tastes bad, I'll ask the chef to make something else."

"No need, you guys go back and rest. You don't need to keep an eye on me." Jiang Hua took the family elevator upstairs, but accidentally pressed the wrong floor and went to the sixth floor. The sixth floor was a huge home theater, with rows of cabinets filled with the latest movies.

The videos here are regularly updated with a new batch…

...

At one o'clock in the morning, a car came to a steady stop in the villa in Jinsha Shallow Bay. Kagel followed behind Pei Zhan and reported: "The reconstruction of the Huo family's old mansion has been underway for some time. Would you like to take a look at the overall design drawings?"

"Let Madam decide these things. If she's not satisfied, do as she says. The designer will come in person tomorrow. The visit shouldn't exceed forty minutes. Make a decision as quickly as possible and don't waste any more words." Pei Zhan knew her well. When chatting with strangers, Jiang Hua's maximum patience was already forty minutes. Any longer would only backfire.

"What should we do with the Jiang family's shares, sir? During your absence, Madam transferred all of her shares to Ji Liangchuan. Now he is one of the largest shareholders besides Chairman Jiang."

"This is her decision, so we should do as Madam wishes." Pei Zhan had just taken over all the affairs of the Huo family, and he needed to take complete control in a short period of time. He would be busy for a long time to come.

The Jiang Group is nothing to Pei Zhan now. One of the many large and small groups he controls is enough to be worth a hundred Jiang Groups.

"Sir, are you back?"

"Where's the wife?"

The maid said, "Sir, Madam woke up at 10:30. After having her meal, she went upstairs and is probably asleep now."

Pei Zhan turned to Kagel and said, "That's all for today."

"It's the master."

Pei Zhan went upstairs, but when he entered the master bedroom, he found it empty. Jiang Hua was not on the bed, and there were even signs that she had slept on the bed. His eyes were filled with a cold light as he pressed the service bell in the room.

Within two minutes, three or five servants rushed over. "Sir, how may I help you?"

Pei Zhan: "Didn't you say Madam was asleep? Where is she?"

"Is this how you judge people?"

The man instantly exuded a terrifying aura, and the servants all trembled with fear of the person in front of them. "Sir, after Madam finished her meal, she did take the elevator upstairs. She also instructed us not to disturb her without her permission. Moreover... we have been downstairs the whole time and have not seen Madam come downstairs."

"If it's missing, go find it."

"Yes, sir."

Pei Zhan looked at the ring symbolizing the matriarch of the Huo family on the dressing table. She had tossed it onto the dressing table. Immediately afterward, the bodyguard checked the surveillance footage. During that time, no vehicles had indeed left. Jinsha Shallow Bay was very large. If no vehicles were on the road, she would not be able to get out even if she walked for three hours.

elevator……

Pei Zhan took the ring and left the master bedroom, watching the elevator stop on the sixth floor.

Jinsha Shallow Bay covers a large area and has many rooms. If someone deliberately hides and tries to find them by searching every corner, they might not be able to find them even after searching all day.

In addition to the main villa, Jinsha Shallow Bay also has other attics.

In the long, retro-luxurious corridor, the man's shadow was stretched long by the moonlight, and his aura was even colder than the moonlight.

Maid: "Sir, we've searched the entire floor, and the movie is playing, but we haven't seen Madam."

Pei Zhan: "I understand, you can go now."

"Okay, sir."

Hiding outside a secluded balcony, her snow-white toes crossed together.

Jiang Hua lay on the chair, probably lost in thought, not hearing footsteps until the black figure came into view out of the corner of her eye. He sat down beside her, holding her hand that was resting on the armrest. Only then did Jiang Hua slowly turn her gaze to him, giving him a detached, emotionless look. There was no resistance, no disgust. She simply raised her hand to prop up her chin, gazing at the starry night sky in the distance. "Is something wrong?"

Jiang Hua made a token attempt to strike up a conversation with him, unaware that just a short while she was out of the room, more than a dozen servants were frantically searching for her.

The spot where Pei Zhan was standing just now was perfectly positioned so that he could see her directly. It was right at the four corners, which is why the servants couldn't find her when they were looking for her.

"Cold?"

"It's alright." Jiang Hua didn't look at his words.

Pei Zhan took off his own jacket and draped it over her. It was an expensive, custom-made suit, tens of thousands of times more expensive than the one he wore at the Jiang family's house. His previous suits were worth at most around 500,000 yuan each, while this one was worth around 5 million yuan. Jiang Hua noticed this because she saw the silver cufflink on his sleeve. This cufflink wasn't sold separately; it had to be paired with the suit. It had the Qianhua Century logo on it, which is why she knew it so clearly.

She has had a sensitive memory for these expensive luxury items since childhood, so she remembers them very clearly.

"I just saw you spacing out. What... were you thinking about?" Pei Zhan asked her tentatively, his tone revealing an underlying caution.

Jiang Hua: "Thinking about how to divorce you!"

When she smiled at him, he seemed to have become even more handsome, but compared to when they first met, Pei Zhan seemed to have aged a bit.

He must be in his thirties now, and in a few more years he'll be almost forty. At that time, Jiang Hua will be under thirty, and she will still be very young.

Perhaps it's because he's become rich now that Jiang Hua can barely find him somewhat agreeable.

Pei Zhan simply smiled and avoided the sensitive topic. "You left the ring behind. Let me put it on for you." He tried to slip the ring onto her finger, but Jiang Hua curled her fingers into a fist. "It's too heavy. I don't want to wear it."

Pei Zhan paused, "Then I won't wear it."

"Huahua...it's late, let's go back to the room, okay?"

The man's unique, deep voice sounded like he was coaxing a daughter. Jiang Hua looked at her toes and wiggled them from side to side, but she had no interest in looking at him. She tilted her head and said, "I don't want to go back. You're sleepy, go back to sleep by yourself."

"I brought you a gift today. Xiaoling designed and made it for you herself according to your preferences. Take a look and see if you like it." Pei Zhan took out a black velvet jewelry box from his suit pocket. He opened it, and inside lay a pair of beautiful earrings that were indeed very suitable for her.

"It looks good, you can put it there. Try it again tomorrow." Jiang Hua said this with just a casual glance, her mood not very high.

"You...aren't you happy? Is it because I came back too late?"

"Stop!" Jiang Hua called out to him. "Stop being so presumptuous. If you have nothing else to do, go to sleep."

"Don't waste your time on me. Where else can I go?"

"Always suspicious and paranoid."

"Neuropathy."

Jiang Hua tugged at the suit jacket covering her. The scent on it was the same incense she used. "I'm sleeping here tonight, don't bother me." She closed her eyes, leaned against the side, and tilted her head to breathe softly.

Kagel brought up the computer and office documents from Pei Zhan's study. He sat down next to the sleeping Jiang Hua and looked at the documents. Kagel acted as his personal butler, following her every step of the way.

Around 3:30, almost 4:00, the sky began to turn a bluish-green, and soon it would be dawn.

Sleeping in a chair will restrict blood circulation, and you'll feel sore all over the next day. When Pei Zhan carried her, along with her suit, back to the room, Kagel followed behind and they left the sixth floor together. "Madam probably isn't used to being alone at home. Why don't we let Miss go back, or bring Miss Shen over to keep Madam company for a while?"

"No need. Just give me three days of free time first. We can talk about it later."

Kagel: "Yes, Master."

In the master bedroom, Pei Zhan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Jiang Hua had changed her sleeping position, with her legs wrapped around the blanket and half her face buried in the pillow. Pei Zhan dried his hair and got into bed. He reached out and pulled her over, removing the blanket from her arms. In the end, Jiang Hua had half her body on him, with her hand on his waist, sleeping soundly.

I spent the whole day shopping with Bao'er today, and she was really tired.

To get revenge for her, Bao'er is determined to help Huahua spend all of Pei Zhan's country bumpkin's money.

So I bought a whole bunch of random things.

When Bao'er proposed to buy an apartment building, a high-rise building.

The real estate sales manager looked at the two women with a smile that was tinged with speechlessness. "Madam, Miss Shen, this area is all real estate investment by Huo's Group. You don't need to buy anything. Mr. Huo said that if you like any of the properties or want to give one to someone, you just need to say the word, and we will arrange the transfer of ownership for you immediately."

Shen Bao'er: "Wow, Huahua. Are all of these yours?"

"You're so rich!"

"I don't care, what's yours is mine..."

His fingers gently touched her cheek, brushing aside her hair. Jiang Hua, who was asleep, suddenly smiled.

Who did you dream about that made you so happy?

Jiang Hua murmured, "Bao'er..."

...

Jiang Hua went to bed early and woke up at eight o'clock, mainly because she was hot. She removed the hand that was hitting her waist and moved to the side. If she hadn't been mindful of his hand, she probably would have slapped him again.

A moment later, Pei Zhan pressed himself against her again, and Jiang Hua moved away. She frowned, already angry. "I'm telling you, that's enough. Don't you know you're burning up?" The man opened his eyes, still tired and sleepy. This time, he didn't hug her, but instead held her hand. "Sleep a little longer, it's still early. Hmm?"

Jiang Hua pressed on his wound all night yesterday, and with the slightest movement, half of his body was almost numb.

Pei Zhan finally fell asleep at six in the morning.

Seeing Jiang Hua's vivid expression, Pei Zhan thought it was just a dream, a dream where he was still abroad, without her, only a cold bed. Jiang Hua was about to get up when she was suddenly attacked. He reached out and pulled her back, pressing her down beneath him, sucking and biting her lips, slowly caressing her, almost stealing her breath. The sticky sounds were like a fuse, starting to ignite and spark.

Rough fingertips traced her softest spot.

The curtains in the room were completely opaque, making it as dark as night, and the heavy breathing grew heavier and heavier.

Straightening up and lowering her back, Jiang Huahua let out a soft groan, gripping the sheets tightly and raising her snow-white neck...

After the match, both of them were drenched in sweat. Despite their serious injuries, they still had so much energy. When Jiang Hua fell into a deep sleep, there were still tear stains in her eyes.

...

"Huahua, I'm here..."

Shen Bao'er got out of the car, opened her arms and ran over, stepping on the soft grass. "Wow...this place is so beautiful!"

The vast, boundless landscape resembled a castle.

In the lobby, a servant respectfully led her in, "Miss Chen, the master and madam have not yet washed up. Please have a seat for a while."

"It's okay, I'll go upstairs to find him."

The maid quickly stopped her, "Miss Chen, this is a gift that Madam prepared for you. Please take a look and see if you like it..."
