He couldn't deny that such a Lin Man would make him stop and be there for her. In that dream, he dreamed of some things that had happened in the past, and he also saw different things in the dream.

Pei Yan once felt that Lin Man was like an exquisite gift box, but after he opened it, he found that the box under the gorgeous appearance was empty.

He admitted the loss at that moment, but the past could not be changed. He could only use more patience and dedication to save his image in Lin Man's heart. He was willing to wait.

Pei Yan has always been much more patient than others. As long as she is by his side, no matter what knot she has in her heart, Pei Yan will untie it and he will not let go.

"Madam, please come closer to Mr. Pei. Yes, a little closer. Please tilt your head slightly and lean on Mr. Pei's shoulder."

The photographer was busy directing, but Lin Man felt a little uncomfortable. "Madam, please smile. Smile a little."

“I don’t look good when I smile.”

"How could that be? You are so beautiful, even without a wedding dress, you would look good in a rag."

The photographer raised the corner of his lips and earnestly taught Lin Man how to smile. However, this time, Lin Man was amused by the photographer's words. However, the photographer was stunned for a moment by such a bright and beautiful smile, so he did not take the shot. "Is it done?"

"No...No! Please wait a moment, I will clean the lens."

Lin Man nodded. Just as she was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly came from her ear, "You've never taken wedding photos?"

Lin Man tilted her head and found Pei Yan's head next to her ear. She couldn't help but be startled, "What are you doing?"

"If you don't laugh, I'll make you cry tonight, believe it or not?"

"you!"

Lin Man glared at Pei Yan fiercely. She certainly knew what Pei Yan meant, but she didn't know how Pei Yan could say such shameful words in such a serious manner.

The camera was re-aimed, and Lin Man cooperated much more this time. The photographer kept praising her, "Yes, Madam, you smile very beautifully. Put your hands on Mr. Pei's shoulders, stand on tiptoes, and kiss Mr. Pei's earlobe with your lips. Yes! Bit it gently!"

Lin Man was so embarrassed! This photo studio was notorious for its borderline actions. When she got married, Lin Man strongly recommended this photo studio in order to have more physical contact with Pei Yan, but now she suddenly felt like she was shooting herself in the foot. It was... terrible!

Lin Man bit Pei Yan's earlobe hard!

"hiss…..!"

Pei Yan suddenly felt pain, Lin Man bit him very hard.

A tooth mark suddenly appeared on his earlobe. "You want to murder your husband?"

"I was nervous and bit it accidentally. Mr. Pei wouldn't be so stingy, right?"

Pei Yan watched Lin Man's acting skills, which were sometimes good and sometimes bad, and remained silent.

After taking the wedding photos, Lin Man planned to go up the mountain with Xiaojun. Since she regained her life, she would come to the mountain to worship and burn more incense every year. However, this time, when she was about to walk up the stairs, someone suddenly lifted her neck. "What are you doing?"

"Go up the mountain." Lin Man didn't understand what Pei Yan was doing. He just pushed his hand away. Just as he was about to move forward, he was pulled back. He gritted his teeth and looked at the woman's thin clothes. "You are pregnant, and you plan to go up?"

Lin Man certainly wouldn't do anything rash. "I've asked the doctor, and walking more can help with childbirth. And if you want to make a wish, you have to be sincere in order for it to work."

"No."

Pei Yan looked at the towering steps. Even though they were well repaired, he was still worried, not to mention that she was pregnant now. He knew that Yu Linman's attitude change was partly due to the child, so he couldn't help but pay attention.

On both sides of the stone steps that stretch upwards, there are ancient temples. It is said that it has a history of thousands of years. Because it is very effective, there is an endless stream of tourists coming to burn incense.

Pei Yan and Lin Man were in a stalemate, neither of them was willing to give in for a while, and suddenly a voice sounded, "A Yan, Man Man is not a person without plans, she will be careful, just let her go."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Man subconsciously turned around and saw Ji Ze walking towards her. The breeze blew gently, ruffling his hair. A few strands of hair fell slowly on the sides of his handsome face with clear contours, making his temperament even more outstanding.

Pei Yan's eyes swept from Lin Man's face, and then fell on Ji Ze. A barely perceptible scrutiny flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Why are you here?"

Ji Ze looked calm, with a faint smile on his face, and responded calmly: "I have been staying at home for a long time. I thought that the weather was good today, so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to run into you guys."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of suspicion, and asked "Really?" with a slightly rising tone, the doubt in his voice was self-evident.

Everyone stood there at the door, the air seemed to freeze, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Xiaojun hurriedly stepped aside to smooth things over, "Boss Pei, I will take good care of Manman. She comes here every year to fulfill a vow, just let her go."

As soon as Xiaojun said this, Lin Man's mind moved, and she subconsciously gave Xiaojun a look full of appreciation, as if to say "Well done!"

But after Xiaojun received this look, her face turned slightly pale. She had just said those words with gritted teeth. After all, Pei Yan's aura was too strong. She couldn't help but feel scared when she stood there. If it wasn't for her Manman, she wouldn't have such courage.

At this moment, Pei Yan looked at the women standing on both sides. When he glanced over, Xiaojun's neck subconsciously shrank inward.

Pei Yan was so angry that he laughed, "You guys have said all the good things, and I am the only bad guy left, right?"

"It's such a high step. If something happens to her, who can take responsibility?"

His voice was calm, but it was filled with a firmness that brooked no argument. Lin Man felt her temples throbbing with regret. She knew that bringing Pei Yan out would definitely lead to bad things. She had no choice but to compromise: "Forget it, I won't go."

Anyway, she would find a time when Pei Yan was not around to come out.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to go back. At this moment, Lin Man's body suddenly became lighter and her feet left the ground. She struggled, but a voice came from her ear, "Don't move. If you move again, you won't be able to go."

"You want to carry me up there?"

Pei Yan didn't answer her, but started walking up.

Pei Yan held Lin Man steadily, his steps were slow and steady, his breathing was even and peaceful, he walked up along the towering stone steps without stopping for a moment.

Lin Man raised her eyes and stared at his face, trying to catch any sign of fatigue or effort on his face, but found nothing. His expression was calm and composed from beginning to end, as if he was not affected by her weight at all.

Suddenly, Lin Man said, "Pei Yan, have you been eating spinach since you were a child?"

Pei Yan frowned slightly. This was his first expression after he picked up Lin Man. Although he didn't understand, he knew that he wouldn't eat any good words from Lin Man, so he replied coldly, "I don't like it."

"Picky eater."

Ji Ze stood at the foot of the mountain, watching Pei Yan holding Lin Man and walking up, his fists slightly clenched, as if he was forcing himself to move forward.

Xiaojun could keep up with the thousands of stairs at first, but before she knew it, she was holding on to the stones, panting and unable to speak. But Pei Yan put Lin Man down steadily. She looked at Pei Yan and it would be a lie to say she was not surprised.

Is this guy a monster? Lin Man couldn't help but put her hand on Pei Yan's chest, and put her head slightly closer, trying to listen to his disordered heartbeat, but she couldn't feel it after touching it for a long time. When she was about to try another place, a pair of big hands grabbed her wrist, "What are you touching?"

Lin Man was delighted, "I felt it! Pei Yan, your heartbeat is so fast! I was wondering, how could anyone really walk up such a high staircase without blushing or getting nervous? You're pretending well."

Lin Man glanced at Pei Yan, and he remained silent. A voice sounded from behind him, "Donor, are you here to fulfill your vow again?"

Hearing this, Lin Man quickly stood up and clasped his hands together in front of the abbot, "Yes."

"go in."

After Lin Man left, Pei Yan stood at the door.

Beside him, a middle-aged man with a frown on his face walked quickly to the Buddha statue and knelt on the cushion. His hands trembled slightly as he clasped them together and his eyes were tightly closed. He was telling about the difficulties in his career and the pressures in his life, hoping to find some solace and guidance.

Pei Yan took a quick look and then looked away. He didn't believe in these things.

But the next moment, the person Lin Man called the abbot walked up to him and said, "Amitabha, since this donor is sincere in his request and has climbed up these high steps and settled here, why don't you ask for a fortune?"

Pei Yan frowned slightly, looking at the fortune stick box in the abbot's hand. He didn't believe in these things. If praying to gods and Buddhas was useful, then everyone would not have to work or study. They could just kneel down in front of the long steps and never get up. He thought so, but his hand still took the fortune stick box for some reason. He just shook it and a fortune stick fell out.

"The past is not over yet, the past relationship is not settled, the donor has a bad fate." The abbot said as he looked at the lot.

"Place your signature?"

"No, it's a good fortune. Having a bad fate is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes this kind of experience can change a person from head to toe. But benefactor, you still have a bad fate ahead of you."

Pei Yan took the incense. He did not kneel on the cushion, but stood aside and bowed to the Buddha. "Thank you, Abbot, but I don't believe this. I believe that everything depends on human efforts and man can conquer nature. My life is in my own hands."

When Lin Man came out, she saw Pei Yan bowing to the Buddha statue. She almost thought she was seeing things. "Don't you not believe in these things?"

Why did Pei Yan still come to pay his respects?

He put his hands together and raised them above his head. His movements were more standard than anyone else's. His face, which was free of desire and emotion, was more pious than anyone else's. "If you don't believe, then you can't worship?"

This……

Why worship if you don’t believe?

Many people around him recognized Pei Yan. Photos of him worshipping Buddha at the Fahua Temple quickly circulated on major social media platforms and were forwarded one after another. The most common comment was confusion: He is so rich, what on earth is he praying for?

Pei Yan inserted the incense steadily, slowly stood up, turned to look at Lin Man, and said softly: "The abbot just told me that I have an unfinished business. Do you believe it?"

Lin Man was slightly startled when she heard this, and pursed her lips slightly, but did not say anything. Pei Yan seemed calm on the surface, but he had actually been paying attention to Lin Man's reaction, and saw that her originally calm expression was slightly fluctuating.

As if he understood something in an instant, "I'll go out for a while."

Pei Yan turned and left, but he did not go far. Instead, he stood at the door, watching Lin Man's reaction. Seeing her complicated expression, people who are familiar with Lin Man can understand her thoughts.

Pei Yan's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered the hypnosis. Could it be that what she said was true? Or was it a trick she used to collude with Ji Ze and bribe the host?

Lin Man stood at the forefront, her thoughts were extremely complicated. Did the host really say this to Pei Yan? Was it just this sentence, or was there something else?

"Manman!" Xiaojun climbed for a long time and finally climbed up from the stairs. She was panting, holding her waist and gasping for breath. Just as she was about to walk towards Lin Man, her shoulder was suddenly bumped.

"Sorry." A soft voice sounded softly. The spring breeze instantly attracted Xiaojun. She slowly raised her head. A woman wearing an exquisite hat, with a gentle smile, asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, and responded subconsciously: "It's okay."

"That's good. Here's my business card. If you feel any discomfort, you can contact me." After she said that, she picked up her handbag and left, followed closely by the people around her.

Before leaving, Xiaojun could still hear the man muttering with a look of disapproval: "Ms. Yuxi, how could you just give her your business card like this? What if she takes the opportunity to rely on us?"

"Why don't you go in?" Lin Man suddenly appeared in front of Xiaojun. Xiaojun was caught off guard and was so scared that he almost jumped up. Suddenly, Xiaojun reached out and grabbed Lin Man's hand tightly.

"Manman, I seemed to see someone just now, he looked very familiar! Do you remember the videotape we watched at school? This person was in it!"

"Who?"

Xiaojun leaned close to Lin Man's ear and whispered, "Gan Yuxi!"

-

It was almost evening when Pei Yan came out of Fahua Temple. After sending Lin Man back, he turned around and went to the company. The wedding procedures were complicated, and he needed to deal with the company's affairs a few days in advance. But this time, he had another strange dream.

This time, the villa in the distant mountains was even more desolate than the last time he saw it. There was not even a single piece of clothing belonging to him in the closet. It was cold and lonely.

"This is a prepared divorce agreement. Please sign it here. I will give you a blank check. Please fill it out yourself. If you have any other requests, you can also make them."

In the dream, Pei Yan just heard the familiar voice, and instantly felt like being struck by lightning, his heart suddenly sank, he desperately tried to make a sound to stop it, rushed forward and grabbed the collar of the man in front of him to ask him! What on earth are you doing! ?

But at this moment, he seemed to be trapped in an invisible cage. He wanted to speak out to stop it all, and wanted to snatch the divorce agreement and tear it into pieces!

But! No matter how he struggled, his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton and he couldn't make a sound.
