Ji Ze said softly: "Don't be afraid, follow me."

Ji Ze brought Lin Man to the top of the mountain, put his palms down, and heard the huge sound of fireworks exploding in his ears. Lin Man couldn't help but look up.

At the top of the mountain, you can see the unobstructed night view, the neon lights are beautiful, and the colorful fireworks are blooming, "It's so beautiful..."

Lin Man couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Did he play this specially for her?

"Do you like it?" Ji Ze chuckled.

Lin Man nodded. "It's beautiful. I didn't expect to see such a scene here. Is it a festival today?"

"Since it's not a holiday, can't I prepare a surprise for you?" He took out a box with an exquisite and eye-catching necklace inside.

Lin Man just looked at him, as if she knew Ji Ze was not telling the truth. Ji Ze had no choice but to say, "Today is my birthday."

Lin Man moved her lips, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. She didn't even know Ji Ze's birthday. "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a gift for you."

"Manman, this is the happiest birthday of my life because you are by my side. No matter what happens, I have no regrets." Ji Ze's eyes were full of expectations.

Lin Man couldn't look him in the eye. She avoided his gaze and changed the subject, "I didn't expect that your birthday is only one day apart from his."

After Lin Man finished speaking, she saw that Ji Ze's eyes were motionless, and his dark eyes were always staring at her. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No, it's beautiful. Look at the fireworks over there."

The scenery chosen by Ji Ze was very good. Lin Man was stunned for a moment. He put his coat on Lin Man and felt the warmth behind him, but Lin Man did not move and focused on looking at the fireworks in front of her.

However, good times are always short-lived, and this grand and splendid fireworks display will always come to an end. Lin Man reluctantly withdrew her gaze, "If you like it, we will come often in the future." Ji Ze said.

"Later? But you will die here today."

A cold and sinister voice sounded from behind.

Pei Yan's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Lin Man instantly caught Pei Yan's emotions. Her heart seemed to freeze. It was over! The thing she was most worried about had happened. Lin Man pushed Ji Ze and said, "Go quickly."

Her tiny force prevented Ji Ze's body from moving at all. Pei Yan's eyes were filled with even more murderous intent. Behind him, orderly footsteps sounded, and countless bodyguards walked out of the woods and stood behind Pei Yan.

Lin Man was terrified, but Ji Ze walked forward with a smile, showing no fear at all, "A Yan, since she doesn't want to stay with you, why do you force her? This is not the style of the Pei family."

Pei Yan didn't even look at Ji Ze. His cold gaze was fixed on Lin Man's face, and he asked sarcastically, "Really?"

The dark eyes were like a whirlpool, the voice became colder and colder, the air pressure around them suddenly dropped, and the bony fingers made noises.

"Forcing someone to do something against his will? Is that what you told him? Lin Man, why didn't you say that when you were in my bed?"

His breath was terrifying, with an indescribable sense of oppression. Even though he was wearing a coat, Lin Man's chill still spread from his heart to the soles of his feet.

She knew that Pei Yan would no longer be in a good mood towards her, but she didn't expect him to use such a humiliating method.

Ji Ze held Lin Man's hand and said, "A Yan, since you also said that you won't force us, then let us go."

Pei Yan's dark eyes looked at the pair of hands held together, his clenched fists creaking, his calmness under the rage was frightening, "Okay, I'll let you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yan punched Ji Ze in the face. The punch was so fast that only an afterimage could be seen. "Ji Ze!"

Lin Man screamed. She wanted to go forward to check on Ji Ze's injuries, but was pushed away by a strong force. Pain spread in the palm of her hand, and her foot, which was sprained on the hillside, began to ache slightly.

Lin Man's face wrinkled into a ball, and Pei Yan's dark eyes flickered for a moment, but were quickly interrupted by Ji Ze who rushed up and punched him, "Bang!" Another punch.

Pei Yan was unharmed, but Ji Ze had blood on his lips. "Ji Ze!" Lin Man could no longer sit still. She struggled to get up but couldn't. Pei Yan stared at Lin Man with a cold and condescending look. A heavy sense of oppression made Lin Man breathless.

Pei Yan's expression was cold, and his voice was terrifyingly calm, "Don't worry, isn't it easy to die?"

"A Yan, don't touch her." Ji Ze stood in front of Lin Man. Pei Yan sneered, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his lips.

He said to Lin Man behind him, "I'll give you three seconds. Come over here by yourself."

His expression was calm and his tone was cold, as if he was giving her an ultimatum.

"..."

Lin Man looked up at Pei Yan. She didn't like the feeling of looking up like this, but she had been sitting on the ground, tossing and turning, unable to stand up. There was a faint despair in her heart, but Pei Yan had already started counting down.

"Pei Yan, let's talk..."

"three."

"Pei Yan!"

"two."

Lin Man's heart was in her throat. She looked at Pei Yan's cold face with fear. No one knew that her heart was far from as calm as she showed on the surface. She knew this man's methods, so she was very scared...

Ji Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and punched Pei Yan again!

"No!" Pei Yan grabbed Ji Ze's collar and punched him in the face again and again. As if he was not satisfied, Pei Yan took off the watch on his wrist expressionlessly and threw it on the ground, looking at Ji Ze who collapsed on the ground.

Pei Yan stepped forward and grabbed his collar, and was about to punch him, when Lin Man screamed in fear, "No, if you hit me again, I'll die! Pei Yan!"

Pei Yan seemed to be unable to hear Lin Man's voice at all. Just as the next punch was about to land, Lin Man shouted in a trembling voice, "I'm going with you... Stop fighting! Stop fighting... I'm leaving!"

Pei Yan stopped what he was doing.

Ji Ze spat out a mouthful of blood, "Don't follow him, Manman..."

Ji Ze's voice was weak. Pei Yan took out a handkerchief and wiped his bloody hands. He looked as if he was stained with something dirty.

Pei Yan curled his lips and chuckled, "Are you willing? Don't tell your adulterer that I forced you to do it."

Adulterer...his words were as harsh and merciless as ever.

Lin Man closed her eyes and said numbly: "It's voluntary..."

The next moment, before she could finish her words, one of her arms was dragged by a strong force. Lin Man frowned, feeling that her arm was almost torn off, but she didn't dare to cry out in pain...

But her tense nerves were still keenly noticed by Pei Yan who was walking in front of her.

He suddenly stopped, his eyes swept across Lin Man, and fell on the half-dead Ji Ze. The temperature of his cold eyes suddenly dropped. He moved his lips, and Lin Man pulled his sleeve, "Pei Yan!"

Her nervous eyes were moist and filled with a hint of pleading. Pei Yan's gaze moved calmly to her charming face.

He said in a low voice: "Send him to the hospital and release him from control."

After Pei Yan finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Man's arm and stuffed her into the car.

cold….

The air conditioner was turned to the lowest setting, and the surrounding temperature dropped dramatically.

Pei Yan sat beside him without saying a word. Lin Man had buried her head in her knees. "Cold..."

Her gradually weakening voice sounded, but Pei Yan grabbed her jaw and tightened his palm. He stared at Lin Man, not hiding the deep hatred in his eyes, "Cold? Can't you bear this? Lin Man, the moment you and Ji Ze left, did you ever think that my heart would become even colder?"

As he spoke, he pointed to his heart.

Lin Man's limbs were numb from the cold. She had only eaten a bowl of cold porridge the whole day, which completely drained her energy. "I didn't... Don't you have surveillance? Go check it out."

The temperature inside the car had made Lin Man a little distracted, but she was still conscious. Sometimes she herself didn't know why everything had deviated from its previous track. God really loved to tease her. Did he really think she was a masochist?

The desperate voice still rang in my ears, "Do you think I will believe you again?"

"..." Never mind, maybe this is fate, she can't escape it no matter what, maybe she owes Pei Yan.

As soon as the car stopped, Pei Yan kicked the door open. He quickly pulled Lin Man into the house, his fingers clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. However, he had a gloomy face. He glanced at Lin Man, whose face was gradually warming up, and then quickly looked away.

Don't be soft-hearted. This is just a trick used by a liar to cheat again.

boom-

Lin Man fell on the cold steps. She raised her pale face and looked at Pei Yan, who was sitting on the sofa and looking down at her. His pair of dark eyes were cold and lifeless.

Seeing Lin Man's vigilant eyes, Pei Yan's cold lips curled up in a cold smile, "Don't worry, I have no interest in touching a fickle woman like you again."

Her dry and pale lips moved weakly, "Don't go too far..." What's the point of him always throwing dirty water on her like this?

"Shh, don't worry, it will be your turn soon."

Pei Yan's face was calm, but the more he was like that, the more scared Lin Man felt. He waved his hand and said, "Wash her clean."

As soon as he finished speaking, several maids rushed out. Their hands were very strong and Lin Man's arm felt like it was about to be dislocated. She looked painful, but Pei Yan suddenly said, "Wait."

The maids looked at each other, his dark eyes were full of coldness, "Wash here."

What? Taking a bath in the living room? Several maids were stunned. Lin Man held her clothes tightly with her hands and could no longer hold back. "Asshole! You should take a bath. Wash your dirty heart that sees everyone as dirty!"

The living room was connected to the water pipe, and the freezing water sprayed on Lin Man, while several maids kept rubbing her skin.

Han Ming stood at the door and looked away after just one glance. The lady was really too hard-hearted. Couldn't she just give in at this point?

The curses were so harsh...

"Boss Pei, this is the new energy acquisition document. The plan has been prepared and is waiting for your review."

Pei Yan took the document and turned around. The next moment, a stream of cold water poured over him. The water soaked the document and kept dripping.

"Mr. Pei!" The maid's anxious voice came, and someone immediately started to get towels.

Lin Man stood in front of him and smiled, "Happy birthday, Pei Yan."

At this point, Pei Yan already knew that she was insincere, and she also knew that Pei Yan would not let her go. The two of them had already torn their faces apart, and neither of them would show mercy, and both felt that there was no need to pretend anymore.

Lin Man knew Pei Yan would not let her go, so she was completely desperate now! Kill her or chop her up, whatever you want!

The old clock in the living room ticked until the pointer and the hour hand overlapped. "Mr. Pei, do you like this birthday gift?"

Water dripped down Pei Yan's short hair and onto his suit jacket. Pei Yan's dark eyes moved and he reached out to wipe the water off his face.

"I like it. I didn't expect you to prepare such a big gift for me. I should return the favor."

After saying that, Pei Yan took only one step to Lin Man and suddenly held her wrist with one hand. Lin Man instantly felt cold from head to toe and realized that the water was so cold. However, this man's expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

Lin Man was afraid. She struggled and said, "I don't need your return gift. Just let me go home."

"Shh... How can this be possible?" Pei Yan curled his cold lips and pulled Lin Man's hand towards the innermost room upstairs.

Lin Man struggled, but was no match for Pei Yan's strength. It hurt so much... Even when climbing the stairs, Pei Yan's strength did not decrease at all. He pulled her up completely by force. Lin Man looked at the dark room deep in the corridor and felt a little scared.

"Pei Yan, stop..."

boom-

Lin Man was thrown onto the bed, with stars in her eyes.

She opened her eyes and looked at Pei Yan's condescending movements. She huddled tightly in the quilt, but she didn't feel safe at all.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say that I'm fickle and not worth touching?" Her eyes were calm, but her trembling voice betrayed her. Lin Man was panicked, and every "punishment"... was very uncomfortable.

Pei Yan curled his lips, but the smile in his eyes was very cold, "What should I do? I have changed my mind now. You gave me such a big gift on my birthday, how can I not give you something in return?"

His face suddenly darkened, and the rest of the words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. He almost got himself cuckolded, but it was a good thing.

Pei Yan lifted the quilt!

"what!"

thump thump—

"Sir, Han Ming wants to see you for something."

Lin Man's heart was in her throat. She looked at Pei Yan, extremely nervous. She was aware of Han Ming's arrival and hoped that Pei Yan would leave as soon as possible.

Pei Yan fastened the buttons on his chest, and his dark eyes swept over Lin Man, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Han Ming pushed open the door, not daring to look up, "Boss Pei, ten minutes ago, Ji Ze left China by plane."

Pei Yan sat on the sofa, his eyes were sarcastic, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Man. "It seems that you have been abandoned. At the critical moment of life and death, everyone only cares about their own life."

Han Ming pushed the door and left. He knew that what happened next was not something he could watch.

Pei Yan picked up a glass of wine and looked at the woman in front of him. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. He didn't see the loss of being abandoned in Lin Man's eyes.

Instead, I feel lucky?

"Ji Ze has left. Are you relieved this time?"

Pei Yan chuckled and drank the wine in the glass. "I will feel at ease only when he dies."

boom-

The wine glass broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

A shadow covered Lin Man's face. "Okay, now it's time to catch up on what we haven't done yet."
