I accidentally married the heir to the empire. Boss, please don't pester me.

Nan Yue was still a little worried, so she asked Pei Zhiyong out.

Pei Zhiyong has been busy at Huo's Automobile Dealership recently and doesn't pay much attention to anything else.

He was very surprised when he received Nan Yue's invitation. He came over on time to attend the appointment.

Nanyue's attitude towards Pei Zhiyong was still cold.

Because Pei Zhiyong wanted Nan Yue to obey him last time, the atmosphere between the two was awkward.

"looking for me?"

Nanyue didn't look at Pei Zhiyong. If it weren't for Nanyao, she wouldn't remember this man at all.

"Huo Ya has been with Nanyao lately."

Pei Zhiyong frowned, "I don't know about this."

"You don't know? Don't you know about your wife?"

"I work in a car dealership recently. I leave early and come home late. I really don't know."

"Huo Ya has always had a grudge against me. She said she wanted to avenge her little finger. I think she might want to use Nanyao to take revenge on me."

Nanyue's idea is not unreasonable.

Pei Zhiyong was silent for a moment, "No, after what happened last time, her father gave her a lesson. She should not dare to touch you again."

"My intuition tells me that she won't tolerate this. It's not that she won't retaliate, it's just that she didn't find the right opportunity."

"Then I'll go back and persuade her. I really don't know these things."

Nanyue bit her lip and her attitude became a bit gentler.

"How should I put it? For a long time, Nanyao has regarded you as her eldest brother. I don't think you will really see her in trouble."

"Yes, don't worry, I won't let Huo Ya hurt Yaoyao."

Nanyue nodded, "Then I'll be fine."

As Nan Yue was about to stand up, Pei Zhiyong called out to her.

"Yue Yue!"

Hearing this familiar name, Nan Yue was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to her college days.

It's a pity that time can't go back, and people are not the same people as before.

"Are you doing well?"

"pretty good."

Pei Zhiyong looked at Nan Yue and couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Originally, he thought he would be happy if he married a rich lady, but he didn't expect that all he would feel in the Huo family was humiliation.

Except materially, he has money, a big house, a car, and luxuries, and there seems to be nothing else.

These are all earned by his dignity.

"I'm sorry about what happened before."

"Nothing to be sorry about."

"Yueyue, I want to ask you, you and Gong Beichen..."

"Mr. Gong and I only have a working relationship. Other than that, we have no other relationship." Nan Yue immediately interrupted Pei Zhiyong.

Pei Zhiyong also stood up, "But he definitely has evil intentions towards you. You should be careful. Otherwise, who would cut off a little finger of a partner for an ordinary secretary?"

Nanyue's heart also "thumped".

During this period, Gong Beichen was indeed becoming more and more tolerant towards her.

There was also the coriander incident. I had zero tolerance for Zhou Zishu and was extremely tolerant of myself.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Gong Beichen was somewhat interested in her.

"thanks for your reminder."

Nan Yue turned around and left, and Pei Zhiyong called out to her again.

"Yueyue! Can we go back to the past?"

Nan Yue turned her face sideways, "Can you turn back time?"

Pei Zhiyong has already got the answer, naturally he can't.

They have drifted apart.

"Then don't be like me. Resign and don't get into trouble with Gong Beichen. Ordinary people like us can't afford to fight against rich people like them."

Pei Zhiyong smiled bitterly, "I am a living example."

He has already gone down this road, so it can only be a dark road.

Whenever Huo Jin humiliated him in every possible way in front of his subordinates, he really wanted to say harsh words: I will quit.

But when I think about my car, my money, and the delicious food I have enjoyed, the people who used to look down on me are now nodding and bowing to me.

He can't let go.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

He couldn't let go after all.

"Don't be like me."

Nanyue heard some distress from Pei Zhiyong's words.

"You can leave."

Pei Zhiyong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We can't leave."

"Then there's nothing you can do. Everyone has to pay the price for their choice."

"You're right, so don't be like me and resign early."

"Thank you for your advice."

Nanyue left without looking back this time.

Pei Zhiyong stood there and looked at her back for a long time.

He picked up the coffee cup alone, touched the coffee that Nan Yue had not drunk, and took a big sip.

Mouth full of bitterness.

Once upon a time, he and Nanyue stood outside the door, wondering when they could have coffee here.

Now he can afford the coffee here, but Nanyue is no longer here.

Nanyue left here and hurried home.

Gong Beichen came back first, and Nan Yue usually came back first.

He waited at home for a while, but Nanyue still didn't come back.

Even if I occasionally need to get off work to buy groceries, I won't come back so late.

Gong Beichen couldn't help but become a little worried. He paced back and forth in the room and finally called Zhao Hai.

"Did you follow my wife?"

"Have."

"Where's the wife?" Gong Beichen asked eagerly.

"Madam, she..."

When Gong Beichen heard Zhao Hai's hesitation, he became even more anxious, "What's wrong, madam? Is something wrong?"

"No, she met someone."

Gong Beichen's heart suddenly sank, it's good that nothing happened.

"Who did you meet?"

"I don't know him, but I took a photo and will send it to you later."

"Send it right away."

Gong Beichen quickly received the photo sent by Zhao Hai and recognized the person in the photo at a glance.

Pei Zhiyong.

Nanyue actually went to see Pei Zhiyong.

He thought they had lost contact.

Why does she want to see Pei Zhiyong?

Gong Beichen couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Worrying for nothing, she actually went to see her old lover.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of the door opening came.

"Husband, are you back?" Nan Yue did not expect Gong Beichen to come back so early.

Gong Beichen was still angry, so he just responded.

Nan Yue didn't pay attention and hurriedly went to cook. At the dinner table, Nan Yue saw that his expression was not right.

"Have a bad day at work?"

"No."

"what happened to you?"

Gong Beichen put down his chopsticks, "I'm full."

He obviously didn't take more than two bites, Nan Yue could see clearly.

Gong Beichen entered the study and closed the door.

"Why did I offend you?" Nan Yue muttered and put away the dishes.

He quietly walked into the study and lay on Gong Beichen, "Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you angry?"

"No."

"But I think you're just angry."

"Why did you come back so late today?"

"I went to meet someone today."

"who?"

Seeing Gong Beichen asking so deeply, Nan Yue just didn't say anything.

"An insignificant person."

"An unimportant person delayed you for so long?"
