"Pei Yan, is there a ghost here?"

After getting off the car, Lin Man still felt the wind blowing on her, and couldn't help but shrink behind Pei Yan.

Pei Yan glanced at her and said, "I don't know if there are ghosts, but it's normal for a few people to die on the construction site."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Lin Man's face was almost twisted into a ball. Listening to the wind blowing past her ears, she felt even more frightened.

If someone had told her that there were ghosts in this world before, she would have definitely been quite disdainful. But since her rebirth, she suddenly developed a reverence for these things and would go to burn incense every month...

"Wait!" Lin Man caught up with Pei Yan and walked beside him. "Pei Yan, why did you come to such a remote and dangerous place?"

A strong wind blew, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Pei Yan covered his mouth with a handkerchief. Lin Man was not prepared and was choked several times.

"Which opportunity to make money is not hard? Which opportunity to make a lot of money is not dangerous?"

"Bah bah bah!"

Lin Man wiped his mouth and spat out several mouthfuls of sand.

"Yes, but the big money is taken by you guys. I won't join in on such a dangerous matter. Ask Han Ming to take me back."

There was no need for her to go through life and death with Pei Yan.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan seemed not to hear her and ignored her. He just walked forward while looking at the drawings, as if he was examining them.

Lin Man finally understood that Pei Yan not only wanted to die, but also wanted to take her with him to die. "Are all men like this?"

She suddenly asked Han Ming.

It was the same when I was at Haicheng Manor.

After knowing she was pregnant, it was another matter.

Han Ming didn't know what Lin Man was talking about, but he knew why President Pei was like this.

It would be strange if a man would be in a good mood if he had to help his woman deal with another man.

When Pei Yan was dealing with Meng Fan, his face was as calm as his heart was filled with rage.

Han Ming didn't say anything, but Lin Man seemed to suddenly think of something. She took two quick steps to catch up with Pei Yan, "It hurts..."

"My stomach is upset."

Pei Yan finally stopped this time. He rolled up the drawing and looked at Lin Man seriously with his dark eyes, just like when he was in Meng Fan's ward.

Suddenly, he smiled, squatted down and picked up Lin Man, and said first: "Lin Man, you'd better not tell me that you are pregnant."

He changed the subject, “Otherwise, I don’t mind strangling you right now.”

He walked forward holding Lin Man in his arms, his face looking very gloomy.

He chose to suppress Meng Fan's matter because he didn't want to create a deeper rift between them, but that didn't mean that as a man he wouldn't care.

Lin Man paused as she covered her stomach. At this moment, she wanted to strangle herself more than Pei Yan did.

What on earth did she say?

The time doesn't match at all. If she is really pregnant now, then the child is not Pei Yan's at all!

Lin Man bit her lip, and her originally cherry red lips seemed to be bleeding. "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

Pei Yan did not let go of his hand, but raised the corners of his lips, and said mockingly: "Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

Lin Man turned her head away. Workers were already coming and going around her. She felt a little embarrassed to be held in his arms like this. "… Let me down first."

Pei Yan did not put it down immediately, but walked to the abandoned old building.

"Boss Pei, these dangerous buildings used to be Longteng International's assets. After Jiang Xuzhi left, they were sold at a low price. Pei took over these projects, but..." The man hesitated, "There are big problems with the foundations and building materials. If we deal with them, it may cost a lot. If we don't deal with them, we will be accused of inaction by the outside world."

After Lin Man was put down by Pei Yan, she listened to the conversation beside her and looked back, only to find that the place she had just walked through was not flat, but a road barely paved with ruins.

But in Pei Yan's arms, she didn't feel any bumps.

Seeing Pei Yan didn't speak, the man said: "Boss Pei, we are indeed facing many difficulties now..."

He felt ashamed of himself and had to talk about the problems he was facing.

Suddenly, a voice sounded, "Mr. Liu, your coffee is here!"

On her thin and frail arms were four paper bags filled with coffee, and she was wobbling as she walked. "Ye Qingqing, the waiter at the Starry Sky Cafe, has brought you coffee. Please sign for it!"

"Here I come!" The man in front of Pei Yan raised his hand and waved it, but he did not move. Ye Qingqing took one deep step and one shallow step in the ruins. Suddenly, when she came in front of Pei Yan, she stepped between two stone gaps.

"what!"

The pain made her frown. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Man in front of her, shouting, "Get out of the way!"

Ye Qingqing tripped to the ground, and the boiling hot coffee was thrown into the air and hit Lin Man directly in the face!

She also wanted to hide, but she didn't expect Ye Qingqing to fall so suddenly. Lin Man was unable to avoid it. She raised her arms to protect her face. In a flash, she was embraced by a familiar embrace. Pei Yan hugged her and hid her in his arms.

With a "bang", the scalding coffee splashed onto Pei Yan's body. The brown liquid flowed down his expensive suit. "Pei Yan!"

"gentlemen!"

Two voices sounded at the same time. Lin Man reached out her hand into Pei Yan's shirt that was tight against his skin, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not notice the abnormality on Pei Yan's face when she reached out and touched the tense muscles.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Ye Qingqing had already crawled up from the ground. She frantically searched for tissues on her body. As soon as the low-quality paper touched the liquid-stained suit, many paper scraps instantly appeared. The more she wiped, the dirtier it became.

Lewis was terrified, and hurried forward to accuse the woman in front of him, "How do you do things! The people in your cafe are as clumsy as you, are you still doing business! Can you afford to pay for this suit?"

Her face flushed, she felt so ashamed, but she still didn't stop what she was doing. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. Please don't tell my boss, okay? I really need this part-time job. My tuition for next month depends entirely on the money from working in the cafe. Please."

A stream of women's shampoo blew into Lin Man's nose along with the wind. Pei Yan frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to push the person in front of him away. Lin Man looked at his movements and knew that he didn't like being touched by outsiders. She was about to take out a handkerchief from her bag when she found that Pei Yan's body was frozen.

"Sir, I will definitely compensate you for your suit. Please don't tell my boss." Her tears fell down her cheeks and were dried on her face by the wind.

The safety helmet on her head had already fallen to the ground. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance. Lin Man looked at her face, her smart yet wet eyes, and seemed familiar.

This face is 70% similar to Gan Tian's. The only difference is the expression in the gestures.

Lin Man tilted her head to look at Pei Yan. He was staring at the person in front of him with deep eyes, "Sir? Are you okay?"

Ye Qingqing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Pei Yan.

With a loud "bang", rocks fell from the ruins building and headed straight towards Lin Man and Ye Qingqing. Lin Man did not hesitate at all and immediately ran in the opposite direction.

The next moment, accompanied by Ye Qingqing's shrill screams, huge rocks fell down, but Pei Yan had already carried her away.

Smoke and dust were everywhere.

A huge fallen rock stood between the two of them. The smoke gradually dissipated. Lin Man looked up and saw that Pei Yan had already covered Ye Qingqing under his coat.

Ye Qingqing came back to her senses, eyes full of emotion, "Sir, thank you so much for saving me. If it weren't for you...I might have really been crushed to death."

Pei Yan didn't say anything, but turned around subconsciously and met Lin Man's gaze.

She sat on the ground, her clothes already covered in mud, her eyes were red and she looked a little dazed.

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan, and a sour feeling welled up in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was. She couldn't deny that when she saw Pei Yan saving Ye Qingqing, her heart was far from being as calm as it seemed.

Indeed, she didn't trust Pei Yan.

She didn't trust him and never counted on anyone when she was in danger.

But when she saw Pei Yan saving Ye Qingqing, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.

She didn't blame Pei Yan for saving people, but why did she have to save her? Why did she have to save someone with a face that looked so similar to Gan Tian? How could she easily arouse his desire to protect her?

Lin Man sat in the ruins and smiled. Even she herself didn't understand why she could still laugh now?

Lin Man felt a tingling sensation in her leg. She guessed that it was a sprain. Pei Yan stood up and looked at Lin Man with a complicated gaze. That glance seemed to contain a lot. He quickly retracted his gaze and said to Han Ming who was rushing over without turning his head: "Take the wife to the hospital."

Lin Man shook off Han Ming's hand and said, "I can walk by myself."

In Hai City Hospital, Ye Qingyu and Xiaojun rushed over one after another.

Ye Qingyu looked pale and panicked. "Doctor, which ward is my sister in? Is she okay?"

The next moment, Ye Qingyu saw Ye Qingqing lying on the bed with pale lips, and couldn't help wiping away tears, "Oh my God! What on earth is going on?"

"Didn't you tell me that you didn't have classes today and that you were going to work part-time at a coffee shop? How come you are now in the hospital? And you wanted to hide it from me! If your counselor hadn't called me, I would still be in the dark about it! Were you hit by someone? Where is the perpetrator?"

Ye Qingyu rolled up his sleeves and stood up, looking around, "Where are the people?"

But she froze quickly, staring blankly at the person in front of her, "Pei...Mr. Pei? Why are you here?"

Ye Qingqing was finally able to get a word in. She barely propped herself up and reached out to pull Ye Qingyu's sleeve, "Sister... things are not what you see. I went to deliver coffee to Mr. Liu at the construction site today, but suddenly bricks fell from the upstairs, and it was Mr. Pei who saved me..."

Ye Qingyu was also shocked, "It was Boss Pei who saved you?"

Xiaojun stood at the door, also looking inside in confusion, but she looked at Ye Qingqing's face with a bad expression, "Manman, what's going on? Who is that woman lying on the bed?"

Lin Man sat on the bench at the nurses' station, quietly looking into the room. Ye Qingqing suddenly grabbed Ye Qingyu's hand. She blinked and said, "Sister, lend me some money."

Ye Qingyu thought that her sister had no money to spend in the hospital, so she quickly took out all the money she had on her body, "Yes, yes, yes, it was my sister who neglected it, Qingqing? Is this money enough?"

But the next moment, Ye Qingyu was stunned. Seeing Ye Qingqing handing the money to Pei Yan, he quickly reached out to stop her, "Hey! Qingqing, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingqing did not answer Ye Qingyu's question, but walked to Pei Yan with a sincere look. Xiaojun saw this scene, and hurriedly tightened the bag in his hand and reached out to push Lin Man, "What is she going to do?"

Lin Man didn't say anything, but listened quietly to Ye Qingqing: "Mr. Pei, I don't know if this money is enough to compensate for your suit. If not, I can write you an IOU until you pay it off. You saved me, and I can't let you suffer any more losses."

The sincerity and brightness in her eyes are very much like Lin Man, but that face is very much like someone else.

Pei Yan frowned and looked at her with heavy eyes. After a deep glance, he retracted his gaze and walked out the door.

Ye Qingqing was puzzled, and Han Ming said, "Mr. Pei means that you don't need to pay it back, go back."

I thought the matter ended here.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingqing suddenly grabbed Pei Yan's suit jacket, which frightened everyone including Ye Qingyu. She was not afraid of Pei Yan. Ye Qingyu hurriedly said, "Qingqing! What are you doing? Let go of President Pei!"

Ye Qingqing's eyes were wet and her cheeks were red, as if she was humiliated. "Mr. Pei, are you giving me charity? I really don't have any money and I haven't graduated yet, but does that mean I don't deserve respect?"

"Do you feel sorry for me because I'm shabby? Or do you think we are inferior people, not even worthy of you opening your eyes to look at us?"

"How dare you!" Han Ming pushed Ye Qingqing away. She was caught off guard and staggered. Ye Qingyu quickly supported her.

Han Ming said: "The suit jacket you splashed coffee on was all hand-sewn. Not only is the production process time-consuming, but each piece costs millions! How can you justify letting you go now?"

For a moment, the room froze. Xiaojun looked at Lin Man in confusion. She seemed like an outsider, quietly holding the cup and sipping the water in it, bored but finding it fun. Seeing this, Xiaojun bumped into Lin Man and pointed at Ye Qingqing in the room, who was wearing a hospital gown, with red eyes but very stubborn, and pointed at his own head.

"Manman, who is this woman? At first I thought she was another fool trying to snatch Boss Pei from you. I didn't expect her brain was so weak. Is this some new and popular strategy?"

Lin Man lowered her eyes. She didn't know whether Ye Qingqing had a problem with her brain or not, but the only thing she was clear about was that for so long, she was one of the few people who could get close to Pei Yan. Otherwise, she would have been thrown away the moment she touched Pei Yan, and there would be no need for Han Ming to take action.

Lin Man sipped the water from the cup, gulping it down, seemingly not caring. Only Xiaojun beside her kept staring at the movements in the room. She suddenly stood up and asked, "Manman, do you think this Ye Qingqing looks like someone?"
