Pei Yan sat upright on the sofa, turning the watch on his wrist, with a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Lin Man's breathing stagnated. She looked at Pei Yan's expression. Just when she thought Pei Yan would refuse, he said, "No problem. You can rest assured after checking. It's dark and the road is long, so you can go back early."

Mother Pei was stunned. She originally thought that it would take some effort, but she didn't expect Pei Yan to agree so readily. Could it be that Manman was really not here? Mother Pei looked around suspiciously.

She waved her hand, and the people behind her quickly walked around. Pei Yan just glanced at them lightly without making any movement.

Lin Man could clearly see Pei's mother and Pei Yan sitting in the living room through the gap. Pei's mother didn't show it on her face, but she was anxiously waiting in her heart, "A Yan, I found out that your car appeared on the day Man Man left. That was your car in Italy."

Pei's mother suspected her son and took him away secretly.

Pei Yan pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said, "Mom, we are husband and wife, I am just going to see her off."

Pei Yan's words left her mother with no faults. She said, "Ah Yan, if Mom finds Man Man, you can't keep her captive."

Pei Yan picked up the red wine handed to him by the servant, took a sip and said, "Mom, she is not here with me. You have made this trip in vain."

Lin Man listened to Pei Yan's words and sobbed incoherently, "What a liar!" She used to think that Pei Yan disdained to lie, let alone do such a thing, but after seeing it with her own eyes today, Lin Man wanted to slap her awake, Pei Yan was clearly better at disguising than others!

The footsteps around her became clearer and clearer. Lin Man looked around carefully. The dark environment made it difficult for her to see everything around her. In fact, even Lin Man didn't know where she was. Pei Yan, that bastard! Where did he lock her up?

Lin Man clenched her wrists tightly, but couldn't break free from the rope!

"Madam, I didn't find it."

"Ma'am, we don't have any here either."

People started to come back to report. Mother Pei looked thoughtful, "Have you guys searched carefully?"

"Yes." They had even searched every corner of the manor, but still couldn't find it...

Pei Yan stood up and asked, "Mom, are you relieved this time?"

Seeing that Lin Man was really not here, Mother Pei's face was also a little embarrassed. She coughed twice and said, "Since Man Man is really not here with you, the letter is probably just a prank. You should have a good rest. Mom is leaving first."

Pei's mother came quickly and left quickly. Lin Man watched her leaving and her heart completely sank. She sobbed and shook her head continuously. The next moment, under the dazzling light.

Lin Man subconsciously tilted her head and closed her eyes. Suddenly, her wrists loosened and the rope was untied. Lin Man slowly opened her eyes and saw Pei Yan leaning against the wall with a wine glass in his hand, his dark and deep eyes looking at her.

When Lin Man saw Pei Yan, her blood boiled. She quickly tore off the tape on her mouth, raised her hand, and slapped Pei Yan in the face.

Liu Lin was stunned by this sudden scene, "Madam!" She wanted to go forward to check Pei Yan's face, but Pei Yan avoided her. He tilted his head, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his lip with his thumb, and suddenly smiled deeply, "You stubborn donkey who bites people."

"Pei Yan, you are so mean. Are you satisfied now? You deliberately gave me hope and then made me despair! Did I violate some heavenly law? God wants me to meet a bastard like you."

Pei Yan did it on purpose. He knew that Pei's mother couldn't find her, but he still asked her to come and let her see! This was to break down Lin Man's psychological defenses again and again! After all, what could be more despairing than letting people see hope with their own eyes but not be able to touch it!

Lin Man glared at Pei Yan, and it was that resentful look that hurt Pei Yan's heart again and again, making him unable to resist hurting her. He pretended to be indifferent and didn't want to look at her.

"Lin Man, don't look at me like that. I hate it most when you confront me for another man. Everything that happened to Ji Ze is his own fault. If he touches my things, I will make him pay the price."

After hearing Pei Yan's words, Lin Man calmed down instead. "Pei Yan, who do you want to deal with, Ji Ze or me? Do you think it's fun to take revenge on Ji Ze for your hatred towards me?"

Pei Yan's fingers caressed Lin Man's neck. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He threw the glass behind him and it shattered all over the ground. He locked his hands on Lin Man's shoulders and forced her to lean close to his ear.

"You know what? I hate people who don't keep their promises the most. Sometimes I really want to strangle you to death." There seemed to be pain in his eyes.

"But I can't do it. If it's like this, let's just not let anyone have an easy time."

After he finished speaking, Pei Yan's lips suddenly kissed Lin Man. The cold lips and strong wine spread in Lin Man's mouth, making her mind stagnate. The strong wine swept through her lips and cavity, and Lin Man couldn't help choking. She frowned slightly and struggled hard, but Pei Yan's hands that were imprisoned on her arms did not move at all. No matter how Lin Man struggled, she had no intention of letting go!

“Hmm…!”

Lin Man bit down hard and Pei Yan suddenly felt pain, anger flashed between his brows. Lin Man took the opportunity to push him away and covered his chest, breathing continuously.

"Pei Yan, if you want to kill me, why do you have to find so many excuses? When did I break my promise? It's obviously you who broke your promise. You were the one who proposed the divorce and set the conditions. Now you regret it and use such a tough method to lock me by your side! I have never seen a worse person than you!"

Lin Man's lips felt numb, and after she finished speaking in one breath, her lips felt even hotter. Is this man a dog? He is so hungry that he will bite anyone he sees!

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man, who seemed to be laughing out of anger. He ignored his bleeding lip and pulled Lin Man back, pushing her against the wall. He grabbed her jaw and said, "Lin Man, listen carefully. I, Pei Yan, don't owe Ji Ze anything."

"He is an adult and does not need to hide behind a woman. I, Pei Yan, am not a philanthropist. I saved his life because you promised me to break up with him. But now it seems that I believed you so easily. I should have let Ji Ze stay in Italy for a few more years. It would be best if he died and you gave up."

"It's you. The contract is completely false. You deliberately deceived me! It only took you half an hour to come back that day. You didn't even leave the manor! Your car was right at the door!"

"So what?"

Pei Yan tightened his grip on her chin, and suddenly pulled off her tie, with an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

"Lin Man, I really didn't expect you to be so impatient. It's just a contract, but it makes you so anxious."

The corners of his lips seemed to be sarcastic. He held Lin Man with one hand and began to unbutton his chest with the other hand.

Pei Yan's action made Lin Man's words choke in her throat, and her head buzzed!

The anger in her heart made her forget the situation around her. Lin Man was completely panicked! She kept backing away, but there was only a cold wall behind her. "Pei Yan, don't be like this... I was too emotional just now. Can we talk?"

Pei Yan had already taken off the last shirt. He reached out and covered Lin Man's lips. The next moment, the world spun around, and Lin Man was thrown heavily onto the bed. The soft bed bounced her up, but was quickly pressed down by a heavy object. Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Man, his hands moving non-stop. "I know what you want to say. Do you want me to let Ji Ze go?"

Lin Man stopped struggling for a moment. She didn't understand why Pei Yan suddenly brought up this, so she didn't say anything.

The next moment, a cold air blocked her lips, "It depends on your performance tonight."

"Ugh...!" Lin Man suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Pei Yan who was clinging to her in disbelief. Did this bastard say so much just to let her let down her guard? "Don't touch me! Bastard!"

Lin Man used all her hands and feet, and tried every trick on Pei Yan, and finally got him to let go. But in a moment, before Lin Man could breathe a sigh of relief, Pei Yan suddenly picked her up and threw her into the bathtub. The water splashed down, and the clothes stuck to her... Lin Man was trapped in the middle. She shouted at the top of her voice, "Help! Someone come! Bastard, don't touch me!"

Pei Yan turned a deaf ear to Lin Man's shouts. He seemed satisfied with washing her. He finally lifted Lin Man's legs high.

Lin Man, who was fully aware of the danger, began to feel scared. She kept saying, "No... I was wrong. If you let me go this time, I will never run away again. I will stay and give birth to the baby. Don't touch me!"

Lin Man's voice was hoarse and she spoke without restraint. She didn't understand what she was saying at all, but she instinctively wanted Pei Yan to stop.

Pei Yan not only did not let go of Lin Man, but his hands hooked tighter, and the corners of his dark, cool lips curled up, "Okay, give birth to a baby..."

A long, endless night...

The rose in the vase kept shaking.

Liu Lin stood at the door, her face flushed, her hands constantly twisting the corners of her clothes.

The maid who was on night watch heard the noise in the room and said, "Sister Liu, we've been calling all night... The master is still in there, do we really not need to go in and take a look?"

Liu Lin glanced at the maid who had never seen anything like this before. Her originally blushing face suddenly turned cold. "Go downstairs and ask the kitchen to cook some porridge. The master will probably want to eat when he comes out soon."

Inside the house, it was a mess…

Lin Man leaned over the bed, her face resting on the pillow, her breathing long and deep, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her fair face, as if she had lost her sense of security.

She curled up in the quilt, her face looked pitiful, and her body was covered with scars...

Pei Yan put on his clothes, fastened the last button on his chest, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch Lin Man's face. Compared to Lin Man who was lying in bed and unable to get up, Pei Yan looked much better.

Feeling the touch on her face, Lin Man closed her eyes and refused to open them, nor did she want to talk to Pei Yan. In Pei Yan's eyes, Lin Man was as stubborn as a donkey.

If she was smarter, she could have negotiated with Pei Yan now. Thinking of her hard work last night... Pei Yan would agree as long as the request was not excessive. But she was resisting him in this silent way at this moment, which made Pei Yan's originally full body feel a little dissatisfied.

"Lin Man, be honest and stop playing tricks on me. You will suffer less. Even if you don't keep your word, what I promised you will not change. When you give birth to my child, I will let you out."

Lin Man lay on the bed with her eyes closed resentfully. No matter what Pei Yan said, she didn't say a word.

Pei Yan looked at the dazzling color, and finally softened his heart and stopped talking. He pushed open the door. Liu Lin had been waiting outside. Seeing Pei Yan coming out, she said, "Sir, breakfast is ready. Please eat some first."

Pei Yan turned around and looked at the "stubborn donkey" on the bed. "Bring up some breakfast."

"Yes."

Liu Lin looked through the door into the house, and when he saw the mark, he was frightened and lowered his head, not daring to look again.

Lin Man lay on the bed with her eyes closed, not moving. It was not that she didn't want to talk, but she had been tormented all night and didn't even have the strength to slap Pei Yan.

She still remembers Pei Yan's madness... She kept questioning her by the bathtub, "Who is he? Who is better, him or Ji Ze..."

No matter how Lin Man struggled or screamed, Pei Yan was determined to teach her a lesson and refused to let go, with each move becoming more ferocious than the last!

Thinking of this, Lin Man became more angry. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

When Liu Lin came in with the porridge, she saw Lin Man turning over and getting out of bed.

"Ma'am, the gentleman asked me to bring you breakfast. Would you like to eat some now?"

Liu Lin thought of the screams last night and couldn't help but look at Lin Man, the frail woman in front of her. She talked back to everything President Pei said to her. In the end, she was so exhausted that she couldn't help but tickle President Pei a few times.

He kept cursing, calling him beast, bastard, etc.

He was so...stubborn that Liu Lin didn't know what to say.

It was obvious that if she just gave in, she could have countless good days, but she insisted on stepping on President Pei's bottom line and trampling on him repeatedly, as if she felt pleasure in her heart as long as she saw President Pei in pain.

In short, no matter which one it is, it is enough for Liu Lin to be unable to understand.

Liu Lin's voice made Lin Man turn around. The quilt on her body fell to the ground, and her body was covered with bruises and purple marks. "See? The person you admire in your heart is like this. Do you still like him now?"

"Ma'am, I don't understand what you mean."

"You like Pei Yan, but your love means watching him in the room with another woman, and then you stand guard at the door?"

"Liu Lin, you are aiding and abetting the evil."

Liu Lin lowered her eyes, holding a bowl of steaming porridge in her hands, "Madam, you don't need to sow discord. You and President Pei are a legal couple, so it's not surprising that something like this happened. I am loyal to President Pei. Everything I have was given by President Pei, and I will never betray him."

"…Boss Pei has lifted the confiscation order against Mr. Ji this morning. If you still have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you're betraying Boss Pei's kindness."

Lin Man looked at her seriously for a long while, and she finally knew who Liu Lin looked like. She looked like the girl in the past who knew what kind of drug she had been given... She was immersed in her own world and refused to communicate with the outside world.

"Where's Pei Yan?"

Liu Lin: "The gentleman is having dinner downstairs."

Lin Man walked downstairs and Pei Yan just stood up.

Their eyes met, and Lin Man met Pei Yan's gaze.
