Lin Man was confused and had no idea what Pei Yan's nonsensical actions were.

"What did I eat? Isn't this cold medicine?"

Lin Man picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it again and again.

"Three-drug."

Lin Man was speechless. She grabbed the medicine bottle from the maid and stuffed it into Pei Yan's hand. "Yes, medicine is three-quarters poison. Mr. Pei knows it so clearly. It seems that your brain is damaged by taking medicine."

I've become crazy from eating too much.

After Lin Man finished speaking, she went straight back to her room and lay down without caring how ugly Pei Yan's face was.

Lin Man had her back to the door and heard some noise behind her. She thought it was Pei Yan coming to apologize to her.

"Go out, I have nothing to say to you."

She didn't look back, but the person behind her was silent.

Lin Man finally realized something was wrong, turned around, and saw that it was Liu Lin who was looking at her.

"….Ma'am, thank you."

Lin Man sat up and took a bite of the apple. "Why are you thanking me?"

Liu Lin was silent for a while, then said, "I know that only you can make Mr. change his mind and let me come back."

Lin Man didn't say anything until she swallowed the apple in her mouth. "Don't thank me. I just feel that after working with you for so long, I have almost figured out your weaknesses. If you leave now, all my efforts will be wasted."

A smile flashed across Liu Lin's eyes.

Lin Man stopped chewing. This was the first time she saw Liu Lin smile anything other than a fake smile.

It’s really...special.

"Thank you anyway. Without you, I can't find the meaning of going on."

The lights go out.

Pei Yan pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Looking at Lin Man who had already fallen asleep, a shadow covered her fair face. He lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Man, "Take good care of the madam."

"Yes." He opened the door and left.

The maid came over and said, "Boss Pei, the old man has an urgent call."

Pei Yan had just picked up the phone when a familiar voice asked, "Stinky boy, where did you hide that person?"

Pei Yan said calmly, "Dad, don't send anyone to follow me."

Pei Zhenting snorted coldly, "Do you think I want to send someone to follow you? Am I not busy? I took the time to make this call! Let me tell you, your mother asked me to find her now, what do you say I should do?"

"You can't even make up a lie. Why did you lie to your mother? You had to say that the girl eloped with Ji Ze and went abroad. Now the whole Hai City knows that Ji Ze is dead. How can your mother not be anxious? You said you want to see the body alive or dead. Neither of you makes me worry."

Pei Yan listened until Pei Zhenting finished speaking before speaking.

"I'll handle this."

After hanging up the phone, Han Ming was puzzled.

"Sir, don't you want the old lady to know about this?"

Pei Yan turned over the book in front of him and said, "It's not the right time yet."

The next day, Lin Man opened the door and saw Pei Yan standing at the door, but she deliberately ignored him.

Ever since that night when Pei Yan went crazy and fingered her mouth, almost choking her, Lin Man automatically classified Pei Yan as a psychopath.

"Avoid me?"

A hand blocked in front of him.

Lin Man rolled her eyes and walked around.

Not a word was said.

Pei Yan glanced at her and followed her downstairs.

The phone rang next to Lin Man.

Lin Man's hand froze in place as she subconsciously tried to pick up the phone.

Pei Yan is here, could the person calling be Jiang Xuzhi?

Last time he said he would contact her again...

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Don't answer it?" Pei Yan sat opposite Lin Man, peeling an orange slowly in his hands.

Lin Man felt a chill in her brows when he looked at her. "If you want to pick me up, pick me up."

Finally, the maid picked up the phone, "Hello? ... OK, I'll pass it on to you."

"Ma'am, looking for you."

The maid handed the phone to Lin Man.

"..."

Lin Man felt a chill on her scalp. Could Jiang Xuzhi be so bold?

But Lin Man soon heard the familiar cheerful voice on the phone, and she felt relieved, with a smile on her face, "Xiaojun? How did you get this call?"

Xiaojun laughed playfully, looking extremely happy, "Shh!"

Lin Man fell silent immediately...

Unexpectedly, Xiaojun suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Manman! I have good news for you. Great news. You will jump for joy after hearing it!"

"I was chosen to star in a new drama invested by Pei Group! The second female role was given to me. The director said that he saw me at first sight in the crowd and that the person who eliminated me had no vision. He personally brought me back and gave me a high salary. Now I have created hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for our company!"

"Great, I knew you could do it."

Lin Man was sincerely happy for Xiaojun.

After all, no matter what, actors have to speak through their works.

"I miss you so much, Manman. I just signed the contract and Secretary He told me that I could call you. I said I didn't know your number, but Secretary He told me that I could contact you using Pei's landline! That's great! I can come here and call you often in the future."

He Sheng?

Lin Man looked up at Pei Yan and found that he was just sitting leaning on the sofa.

As if sensing Lin Man's gaze, Pei Yan opened his eyes and looked into hers, but Lin Man immediately avoided his gaze.

Xiaojun: "By the way, Manman, are you really not going to attend the graduation ceremony? I'm looking forward to your coming."

"Well, I probably won't go. Just focus on filming and don't keep forgetting your lines."

Xiaojun was laughing and Lin Man couldn't help laughing and hung up the phone. Sometimes she felt that she really envied Xiaojun for being so heartless.

Lin Man knew that it was Pei Yan who helped Xiaojun, and she was no longer as hostile to him as she was in the morning. She reached out to take the orange that he handed over.

"Pei Yan, don't you envy He Sheng?"

Pei Yan frowned immediately, his eyes flashing with incomprehension, "What do you mean?"

But then a dark light flashed between her eyebrows. Could it be that this woman had some evil intentions towards He Sheng?

Lin Man explained: "Although He Sheng is not as rich as you, he loves his girlfriend in his hometown very much. His job is easy and he earns enough to spend. At least he is not as stressed as you are. You are very busy every day. Don't you envy him?"

"He Sheng is a retired Marine. If he hadn't gone into business, he would be an officer now. He is an Ivy League graduate, a man who has truly come up from the bottom on his own. To have achieved what he has today, he has gone through countless blood, tears and trials. Even though he has been working at Pei's, he often worries that Han Ming will take his place. How do you know he has no pressure?"

Lin Man didn't understand why Pei Yan reacted so strongly. Although she felt it was inexplicable, she softened her tone and said, "I just think that life is short. Why put so much pressure on yourself? It's enough to make enough money to spend."

Pei Yan's tone became even worse, and he looked at her coldly with slanted eyebrows, "If a man doesn't work hard and fight, does he have to just eat and wait for death?"

He walked up the stairs and there was a "bang!"

The study door was closed.

Lin Man looked at the closed door upstairs, her hand holding the orange showing a puzzled look. She was just asking casually, was he reacting so strongly?

Pei Yan stood in front of the computer in the study, looking at Lin Man's face laughing at the TV, his eyes changing unpredictably.

How could a child from his Pei family be so greedy for pleasure?

This woman's view on child-rearing has a big problem. If it's a son, he must be brought to her side to be raised personally. If it's a daughter,... then it's okay for her to just enjoy herself.

I’m afraid that this stupid woman will feel sorry for the child and stop him from taking care of him!

Loving mothers often spoil their children! The children they teach will never amount to anything!

"Wow! What a cool appearance!"

Lin Man had no idea what Pei Yan was thinking. She watched the scenes on TV where Xiaojun appeared over and over again, and even pulled the maid to watch it with her.

"My friend performed it. It's pretty good, isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the TV was suddenly turned off.

Pei Yan threw the remote control on the table and said, "It's time to rest."

Lin Man looked at the black TV screen and suddenly turned back, "Pei Yan, can you tell me what's been driving you crazy lately? If you have any new tricks, why not just say it directly, instead of always using such inexplicable methods, okay?"

Lin Man didn't understand what had happened to Pei Yan recently. Not only did he cut fruit for her, he also rubbed her back, forbade her to open packages, or eat anything else, and even when she mocked him, he no longer threw her on the bed like he used to, completely disregarding her wishes.

Pei Yan's dark eyes swept over, he knew what Lin Man was thinking, but he tried his best to control his emotions for the sake of the child. Now that Lin Man provoked him like this, the anger in his chest gradually rose.

"It's nine o'clock and you're still not asleep. Do you want to be a street light?"

Lin Man picked up the remote control and turned the TV back on. "I'll go to sleep after watching it."

She leaned her head against the TV, watching the pictures on it, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips, but she had to ignore the sudden chill on her back.

Pei Yan's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly remembered Zhang Xiangnan's words in his mind, "She is just in the early stages of pregnancy. She will feel tired and sleepy. Don't be nervous. This is normal. We need to keep pregnant women in a good mood..."

Are you in a good mood?

Pei Yan had a gloomy face, but she was in a good mood. Didn’t his son need to rest?

Pei Yan discovered that Lin Man was not afraid of him at all recently. As expected, this useless guy was like a spring. If you press him down, he would be restrained. But if you indulge him, he would let himself go completely!

Feeling a chill on her back, Lin Man sat up and was about to cover herself with the quilt, but Pei Yan grabbed the quilt and threw it on the ground.

"You!" Lin Man felt a fire rising in his chest!

When he looked up and met Pei Yan's dark eyes, the fire that was rising in his heart seemed to be extinguished instantly by water.

She stared at Pei Yan with her eyes, and the coldness emanating from her watery pupils seemed to be venting her dissatisfaction. Pei Yan originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but suddenly saw her paper tiger appearance, which was really... easy to break.

"Go to bed early and I'll take you to the graduation ceremony tomorrow."

Pei Yan thought Lin Man would be very happy, or at least grateful, and hug him with sweet words.

The next second, a pair of cold hands suddenly touched his forehead.

"You don't have a fever? Pei Yan, are you okay?"

Pei Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at Lin Man who was staring at him from a short distance away, "Don't want to go?"

"I want to go."

Lin Man turned off the TV and walked towards the room upstairs without hesitation.

At this moment, Lin Man didn't think about why Pei Yan suddenly said he wanted to take her out, nor did she have the energy to wonder if this was another of his plans.

She just felt that life suddenly had hope. She was going to graduate, and she could go to get her diploma in person and attend the graduation ceremony with everyone.

The life that ordinary people can reach has become her greatest expectation.

The next day, Lin Man, who was originally sleepy, suddenly got up early.

Downstairs, He Sheng was sweeping the autumn leaves off the car.

The courtyard has turned yellow in autumn, and there is a hint of life hidden under the covered dead leaves.

She stood in front of the French window and looked for a long time. Then she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Pei Yan coming down from upstairs. "I've packed. We can leave now."

Her eyes were full of anticipation. Pei Yan glanced at her expression and unconsciously frowned, "Eat breakfast first."

I was so happy as soon as I went out.

"I'm not hungry." Lin Man didn't want to eat. She couldn't wait to breathe the air outside.

"Then don't go."

Pei Yan ignored Lin Man, picked up a newspaper and walked to the dining table, reading while drinking porridge slowly.

Such movements looked particularly elegant on him, but at the moment Lin Man did not have the leisure to appreciate any of Pei Yan's movements.

"Can't we eat in the car?"

After she finished speaking, there was no more voice to answer her.

There was only the clear porridge on the table and a newspaper that was being turned.

"..."

Lin Man sat down and drank a full bowl of porridge.

Finally set off.

The vehicle slowly drove away from Haicheng Manor, and Lin Man's heart also rose. Behind her was a field of withered yellow leaves, and under her feet was the sound of rustling leaves.

She leaned against the car window and saw the hillside where Ji Ze said he would take her away.

In the blink of an eye, things have changed.

So...she really doesn't have such lofty ideals.

People who have lost their lives know how to cherish the present better, so even though she was locked up in Haicheng Manor by Pei Yan, she tried her best to live the way she liked.

The moment I entered the sea city, my ears gradually became noisy.

"I didn't expect four years to pass so quickly. My memory seems to still be stuck on the life-and-death military training at the beginning of the school year!"

"Yeah! When I had my period and had stomach pain, that damn counselor refused to give me leave. I didn't expect that it was four years ago."

"I hated him to death at first, but now I can't even think of this bastard! He has completely left my world!"

"That's great! We are finally graduating! I heard that the school attaches great importance to our graduation ceremony. The school director is here. I heard that... he never attends these events. I didn't expect that he would come this time!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Lin Man, who was leaning against the car window, immediately lowered his head.

“Pei Yan…Pei Yan!”

The last voice became louder, and the man next to him slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear, and he didn't look sleepy at all.

"We're almost at University A. Ask the driver to stop at the next intersection and I'll get off there."

Pei Yan's dark eyes swept over Lin Man.

Just one glance makes people feel a chill down their spine.

But he didn't say anything. He looked away and said calmly, "Stop at the intersection."

"Yes."

This crisp and clear answer really made people angry. Lin Man talked to the driver all the way, but it was not as effective as Pei Yan's words.

After closing the car door, a pair of hands suddenly covered her mouth!

“Mmm…!”
