A familiar voice sounded from behind her. Lin Man seemed to be relieved. She stopped exerting force on her wrist, slowly turned around, and saw it was Pei Yan.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan. He was wearing a sweatshirt and a light jacket today, like a senior student strolling leisurely on campus. Lin Man had never seen Pei Yan dressed like this before. He could wear ordinary clothes and make them look like high-end brands.

"You know how to find a place to hide. Do you know why the second floor is so quiet?"

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man's long skirt with several footprints on it.

"Why?" Lin Man was speechless. Why could she see Pei Yan everywhere?

However, he did not feel as he did before that she was playing hard to get and following him on purpose. This could be considered a form of progress.

The next moment, Pei Yan said calmly: "Because the entire second floor belongs to me."

Lin Man took a deep breath.

It turns out that she doesn’t hate privileges, but she hates the privileges of the people she hates! Especially when this person is her ex-husband, she is even more upset.

"I'm leaving now." Lin Man didn't hesitate and opened the door to leave, but the door was slammed shut from the inside by Pei Yan. He locked the door and threw the key directly into the swimming pool downstairs.

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan's operation in shock, and quickly walked to the window and leaned down, "What are you crazy about?"

"Did Mom go to see you?" Pei Yan sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed.

"Well, you also brought me a lot of things. I haven't opened them yet. You can take them back later. With our current relationship, it's not appropriate for us to accept such expensive gifts from your family."

"Since mom gave it to you, just keep it."

Lin Man didn't say anything. She looked around the room at the furnishings.

He walked towards the sofa farthest from Pei Yan. Since he couldn't leave now, he might as well sit down and have a rest. Besides, there was no quieter place in the entire venue than here.

Lin Man doesn't like crowds.

"Come sit next to me." Pei Yan said softly as he watched Lin Man's movements.

The smoke was so thick that Lin Man couldn't see the expression on his face.

"No." She liked this position because it was the farthest from Pei Yan.

The next moment, with a loud "bang", as soon as Lin Man sat down, the sofa base collapsed along with her!

Her waist was sunken into the sofa and her legs were raised high, stuck and unable to move.

"Look, I've reminded you to sit next to me a long time ago. When have you ever listened to me?" Pei Yan said faintly, glanced at Lin Man, stood up, walked up to her and stretched out his hand.

Lin Man took a deep breath and asked, "Pei Yan, did you do this on purpose?"

"I reminded you kindly." Pei Yan denied it.

Lin Man would not believe his lies. She used his hand to stand up and glared at Pei Yan, "If you are really so kind, you should just say that the sofa is broken."

"If you want to avoid this from happening, you should listen to me." Pei Yan's words had hidden meaning.

Lin Man looked at the stubborn Pei Yan and couldn't help but calm him down: "Pei Yan, it was you who gave up this relationship first. I don't understand why you are doing this now? Is it meaningful?"

Pei Yan would not attend this kind of banquet, but he came today, obviously waiting for her.

Pei Yan sat down without changing his expression, pointed to the seat beside him, and poured a glass of wine. Lin Man glared at him, walked to the sofa next to Pei Yan and sat down. Pei Yan then said, "You said this once yesterday. Is there any point in repeating the same thing all the time?"

"Okay! Even if it's meaningless, what's the matter? Are you afraid to answer me, afraid to look directly at my question? Are you afraid to face me because you feel guilty?"

Lin Man insisted on pestering Pei Yan to the end, and it would be best if she could convince him once and for all so that Pei Yan would stop pestering her in the future.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Pei Yan seemed to find Lin Man's question funny.

Lin Man just looked at Pei Yan without saying a word, because she knew that Pei Yan might feel guilty towards her, but he would not be afraid to appear in front of him because of guilt. He was confident enough to feel that these were not a problem, and Pei Yan happened to be that kind of person.

Looking at Lin Man's gaze, Pei Yan pushed a gift box in front of Lin Man without changing his expression. Lin Man lowered her eyes. It was a wedding ring!

She looked alert, and Pei Yan looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "Lin Man, since you have asked me again and again, I will answer you. Listen carefully, divorce was the balance we made at the beginning. As for the past, I admit that I made mistakes, but now I regret it. I can admit the things you said and I am willing to make amends, but I can't let you go."

"Pei Yan! Are you still a man? Have you forgotten who you are?" Lin Man was shocked by Pei Yan's words. She even found them ridiculous.

How could Pei Yan regret it? He was the kind of person who would go all the way to the end even if he took the wrong path.

"I'm just a human being." Pei Yan's voice was low, as if it contained endless depth.

Lin Man looked up in surprise, and suddenly her eyes widened! Pei Yan's lips were pressed against hers, and the next moment, the room was suddenly pushed open. Xiaojun screamed and covered her eyes! "Manman, I'm sorry..."

Lin Man stood up in a panic and pushed Pei Yan away. "No, you came just in time. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find the location I described."

Lin Man turned around and glared at Pei Yan, "Didn't you lock the door?"

Pei Yan said lazily: "I don't know either. When I came here, this was just a storage room."

Lin Man immediately realized that she was tricked by Pei Yan. She was about to speak, but Xiaojun said: "Man Man, I couldn't find it at first! But then I met a kind person who showed me the way and brought me here."

Xiaojun said excitedly as he leaned close to Lin Man's ear, "A very handsome Italian guy! He showed me the way in person. Not only is he kind, but he's also so handsome! The Jiang Xuzhi you mentioned before is definitely not as handsome as him. I've seen so many handsome Italian guys, but I've never met anyone more handsome than him!"

Lin Man looked at the man standing behind Xiao Jun, her lips stiffened. Before she could speak, Xiao Jun took the lead in introducing him enthusiastically, "This is the Lin Man I mentioned to you. What do you think? Isn't she pretty? The woman you just mentioned is definitely not as pretty as our Man Man."

Jiang Xuzhi extended his hand towards Lin Man, with a fiery smile in his eyes, "That's right, Miss Lin has always been beautiful in my eyes... She deserves the title"
