Pei Yan slowly approached Lin Man, with a determined look in his eyes.

The next moment, a pair of scissors was pointed at him, "Don't come over here!"

Pei Yan looked at the sharp weapon in the middle without stopping, not even raising an eyebrow, and stretched out his hand to take the scissors in Lin Man's hand, "You are so naughty, no one told you..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yan's eyes darkened, "What do you want to do?"

In just a moment, Lin Man realized that Pei Yan was not afraid of the scissors in her hand. He had changed direction and pointed the sharp side at her neck.

"Pei Yan, I admit that I did run away by myself at first, but that was only because you pushed me too hard."

Pei Yan snorted lightly, mocking her, "Lin Man, you are using these things to deceive yourself, but you actually think I will believe them. When I gave you time before, you didn't seem to have changed at all."

The wet clothes tightly wrapped around her body, outlining her figure. After Lin Man felt the warmth of Pei Yan's hand, she realized that the water poured on her was not cold at all.

So she suddenly felt that what happened last night was not completely unresolved, and the coldness in her body gradually dissipated, "You have installed surveillance cameras everywhere in Haicheng Manor."

"The room I burned that day is not far from the monitoring room. You should have repaired it by now. You can go check it out now. It's in the dense forest behind the mountain, about six kilometers away. I didn't want to leave at first, but I was knocked unconscious."

Lin Man said this, but Pei Yan did not respond. He just stared at her with his dark eyes.

Lin Man took a deep breath and suddenly stood up from the bed. The soft bed sank instantly, causing her whole body to sway.

Pei Yan's expression changed, and he seemed not to listen to what Lin Man said at all. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the scissors."

Lin Man did not give the scissors, but continued to explain.

"Really? I know I burned some of the surveillance cameras, but you only need to check the location I just mentioned. I didn't lie to you."

Lin Man was standing unsteadily, her center of gravity was unstable. Pei Yan took a deep breath and said, "Go and check the surveillance."

Liu Lin looked up at Lin Man, responded, and quickly left with her head down. Pei Yan frowned and looked at Lin Man. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Come down first." Pei Yan said in a deep voice.

Lin Man swallowed and looked at her steps. The moment she stood up to confront Pei Yan, she regretted it. The physical exhaustion and the cold caused her calves to cramp slightly.

"No need, Pei Yan, you will soon realize that you have wronged me. You always say that we are husband and wife, but the most important thing between husband and wife is trust, but you don't believe me at all and would rather believe the words of an outsider."

Lin Man repeated her words over and over again, trying to use words to awaken Pei Yan's conscience. Pei Yan frowned, lit a cigarette, sat in the chair without saying a word, and let Lin Man vent her words.

Soon, Liu Lin pushed the door open and walked in. "Sir, some surveillance footage is damaged and the technicians are repairing it, so we only found the surveillance footage of the No. 6 forest and the back mountain."

Lin Man stared at the document in Liu Lin's hand. Pei Yan took it expressionlessly. Every frame of the surveillance camera was printed out as a photo.

Pei Yan just glanced at it and handed it to Lin Man, "Take a look too."

Lin Man's attention shifted to Pei Yan's hand. She stretched out her hand to take it, but the next moment, she felt a pain in her right wrist. The scissors were snatched away by Pei Yan and thrown to the ground.

His face was dark. "Did I ever say that no more sharp objects were allowed in the manor?"

"Yes...after the Madam left. I'll have everyone put it away now."

"No need." Pei Yan pinched Lin Man's chin with his cold hands.

Looking at the woman struggling fiercely in his arms, he had endless energy to fight with her. "Lin Man, do you know where you went wrong?"

Lin Man glared at Pei Yan, "It was my fault for being blind. At the beginning... ugh!"

Her mouth was blocked, Pei Yan curled his lips, "I don't care whether you really want to go with Ji Ze, what I care about is your attitude."

He tightened his grip, "Two...completely different attitudes. Do you think I will be satisfied?"

What he cared about was that Lin Man's attitude was completely different from before. If not, Pei Yan would not have kept her under control around him time and time again. He laughed at himself, thinking that he was really not like himself anymore.

Lin Man was held in his arms and bit hard, but Pei Yan's hand did not move at all. It looked like he was determined to bite her, but she couldn't say anything.

boom-

The door to the study was kicked open.

Pei Yan hugged Lin Man and threw her on the sofa. Lin Man's eyes went dark. She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yan's actions. Her anger disappeared instantly. Her voice was trembling slightly, and she kept shrinking back, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you think?" His face was indifferent and his voice was cold, and his words seemed to be just to please Lin Man.

"Pei Yan, I've already explained to you that I don't want to go with Ji Ze. It's just because you locked me up here that I want to get in touch with the outside world. I don't want to repeat the past."

Lin Man seemed to have thought of a life-saving straw, and suddenly said: "Don't you hate women who become puppets who depend on you the most? You trapped me here, and in the end I kept getting older, but my career was getting worse and worse. If you kicked me out, wouldn't I be left with nothing?"

Men need women who are beautiful but have no brains, but they will not devote themselves to and like such women.

Pei Yan paused for a moment, his eyes moving slightly. He didn't object to a woman being dependent on a man, but he hated such a person being the mistress of the Pei family. In his opinion, a person with beauty but no brains could not protect the Pei family's property.

If the child born is not smart and squanders the family fortune, he would be letting down the ancestors of the Pei family for generations.

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan's expression and knew that he had listened to her words. "You also think it makes sense, right?"

That makes sense, but Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man's pretty but pale lips, and felt that if this brainless woman was Lin Man, it would not be unacceptable.

He raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, even if I kick you out of the house, I will leave you a set of bedding to sleep on the street."

What nonsense is this?

Lin Man was furious. Why didn't he just sleep on the street? "If that day ever comes, I'll kill you first to get my money back!"

"If you can really kill me, I will let you go safely."

madman!

There was no fear of death on Pei Yan's face, but Lin Man was driven crazy by his actions at the moment.

His hand grabbed her collar, and Lin Man suddenly struggled, her voice trembling as she said, "Pei Yan, don't you want to know why I've changed so much?"

As expected, Pei Yan stopped and looked at Lin Man with his dark eyes, as if waiting for her next words.

Lin Man raised the corners of her lips, her eyes full of emotions that Pei Yan couldn't understand. She whispered in Pei Yan's ear, "Because... you owe me a life, no matter what you do? I advise you to give up this idea, I will never forgive you!"

After saying this, Pei Yan's eyes seemed to be surging. He looked at Lin Man's face with his dark eyes, and he was furious. "Really? Then give it a try."

He pushed the door open and it slammed shut. Lin Man looked at his departing back and reached out to open the door, only to find it was locked.

She opened the wardrobe, spread all of Pei Yan's clothes on the floor, and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Lin Man was suddenly awakened by the cold. She opened her eyes and found herself lying on a bed, but her ankles felt inexplicably cold. She sat up and saw a silver chain tied around her ankles.

All the sleepiness is gone in an instant!

"Awake?" Pei Yan's deep and magnetic voice came from above his head.

Lin Man then noticed Pei Yan in the room. He was holding a pen in his hand and sitting on a chair with his clothes straightened. Lin Man stood up instantly and faced him, "Pei Yan, what do you mean? Did my words last night irritate your weak heart?"

There was a hint of anger in her voice; Pei Yan always had a way of irritating her.

"Heh." Pei Yan raised the corner of his lips and was about to speak when the door rang. Pei Yan said, "Come in."

Han Ming walked in, "Boss Pei, the plane that Ji Ze was on... crashed over Italian territory."

Boom—

The documents on the table fell to the ground. Lin Man's nails dug into her palms. She walked to Han Ming in a daze, holding his shoulders with both hands, and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again? Whose plane...crashed?"

"Understood, let's go down."

Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man and threw the pen in his hand on the table.

"Yes."

"Wait! You can't leave. You have to tell me clearly! Whose plane crashed? Is the source of the information reliable? Who told you that this plane crashed?"

Lin Man chased to the door, but couldn't get out of the room. She turned around and met Pei Yan's dark gaze. Her heart sank, but Pei Yan just glanced at her lightly and then retracted his gaze, picked up the pen on the table and continued writing.

Lin Man walked quickly to Pei Yan's desk and asked, "The plane that Ji Ze was on crashed. Is he dead?"

Lin Man's voice was trembling slightly, but no matter how she asked, Pei Yan still ignored her. Lin Man felt stuffy in her chest. She walked to the window and sat directly on the cold floor tiles, her eyes red.

The plane that Ji Ze was on crashed?

Regret and self-blame were intertwined in her heart. If she had left with Ji Ze that night, he would not have changed his flight because of hospitalization, and this would not have happened, right?

Lin Man looked at the withering flowers outside the window.

"The flowers in the garden where you often hide and cry are planted by me. Flowers, like people, need a good mood. You cried for a week and all my flowers died."

"Don't be silly. If you have a stomachache again next month, I won't take you to Nanjia Island."

"You just need to take good care of yourself so that I can be at ease and devote yourself to doing things. Do whatever you want to do and buy whatever you want. Leave the outside things to me."

My father cheated on me, my mother went crazy...

Ji Ze really got nothing.

She couldn't help but look up at Pei Yan. Some people have never received love, but they still know how to love others. Some people have received a lot of love, but they still don't know how to love others.

Boom—

A packet of paper fell in front of her.

Lin Man's immersed thoughts were startled. She raised her head and looked at the mirror on Pei Yan's desk, only to find that her tears had unconsciously wet her collar.

Pei Yan looked at the crying Lin Man and said, "Wipe your face clean and stop crying in front of me. I would think your husband died if I didn't know you."

Lin Man choked. She stood up angrily and threw the paper back onto his desk. "You've been a scourge for thousands of years! I can't even cry over you!"

What a psycho! Death is the greatest thing, but he still said such a thing. After all, we were once friends. This man is really heartless.

Pei Yan's face darkened and Lin Man's tears shed even more. He suddenly stood up, holding his suit jacket with an impatient look and walked out with a gloomy face.

As soon as he pushed the door open and walked out, Lin Man's tears stopped abruptly. Her eyes were dazed and no one knew what she was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, her eyes moved, and she suddenly stood up and listened quietly to the familiar voice downstairs. She couldn't walk out of the room, so she could only lean forward hard, but still couldn't see anything.

Lin Man walked to Pei Yan's wine cabinet, picked up his golf club and swung it down with force. With a "bang", Pei Yan's shaking of the wine in his hand stopped.

His expression was calm, but after a moment he continued to shake the wine glass in his hand. Xiaojun was startled. She looked upstairs in the direction of the voice, but then she remembered that Pei Yan was still in front of her and immediately looked away.

Pei Yan looked at the woman in front of him, and the clear and foolish eyes of the person in front of him gradually overlapped with those of another person.

Xiaojun was frightened by Pei Yan's expression, "You...what are you laughing at?"

Xiaojun gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Want to see her?" Xiaojun was about to cry. Ever since she heard about Pei Yan's deeds, she no longer had any illusions about him. She was too scared to even think about it. She just kept nodding after Pei Yan finished speaking.

"Go, and remember what to say and what not to say." Pei Yan said lightly and took a sip of wine.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei." Xiaojun kept her head down. After getting the approval of the person in front of her, she immediately ran upstairs. As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she suddenly stopped and ran back to Pei Yan.

"Mr. Pei, do you have a Tibetan Mastiff upstairs in your house?" She was really afraid of this kind of large dog. She heard that rich people would raise one to guard the house.

Pei Yan frowned, and Liu Lin stepped forward, "Sir, I will accompany this young lady upstairs."

Pei Yan nodded indifferently.

"Thank you! You are so nice." Xiaojun was moved. Pei Yan closed his eyes and waved his hand impatiently, as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Lin Man picked up two pieces of glass from the ground, reached out of the door and checked the situation in the living room. Soon she saw Liu Lin and Xiaojun walking towards her, and the glass fragments in her hand fell to the ground.

The next moment, the door was pushed open. Without waiting for Lin Man to react, Xiao Jun rushed towards Lin Man quickly, "Man Man! I missed you so much! Wuuuuu!"

Lin Man was not wearing slippers and was pushed back several steps by Xiaojun. "Be careful..."

"Madam, you guys chat." Liu Lin closed the door.

Lin Man looked at Xiaojun in astonishment, and looked her up and down for several times, "Why are you here? Who told you I was here?"
