Lin Man was a little bit incredulous. In the past, Pei Yan always left her alone when he went to the old house, but this time he actually wanted to take her with him!

It's simply...sick!

"Pei Yan! Stop going crazy! If you want to go, go by yourself! I can't afford to attend your Pei family's banquet!"

Lin Man struggled hard! Pei Yan loosened his grip a little, and just as Lin Man was about to stand up, he suddenly exerted force again and pulled her into his arms!

He put his hand into Lin Man's mouth and gently rubbed Lin Man's teeth on both sides with his fingertips.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

The distance was too close, and the smell of alcohol from Pei Yan hit her face! This made Lin Man extremely uncomfortable! She pushed Pei Yan away with all her strength!

Looking at Pei Yan, he angrily said, "Your Pei family's banquet! I only consider attending your seventh day of mourning! Don't even think about anything else! Forget about it!"

Lin Man cursed loudly! Just as she was about to continue, Pei Yan had already fallen asleep on the sofa!

She held her breath, went upstairs and slammed the door shut! Lock it!

The next morning, Lin Man received a call from Pei's mother. Pei's mother said that she was still abroad and could not come back, and hoped that Lin Man could help her deliver the gift she had prepared.

.....

Lin Man put on some light makeup, chose a simple long skirt, and picked up a gift box from the dressing table. Anyway, the Pei family wouldn't care whether she gave it or not.

When I went downstairs, Pei Yan had already packed up and got in the car. He sat in the back seat with his eyes closed. The high-end black suit he wore made him look cool and solemn, without any trace of the drunken look he had yesterday.

He Sheng stepped forward and opened the car door for Lin Man. She sat in, close to the door, far away from Pei Yan.

Pei Yan opened his eyes at the right time and said in a deep voice: "Since you have made up your mind not to have anything to do with the Pei family, you should not be soft-hearted and emotional anymore."

"Pei Yan, I am not you." So cold-blooded and ruthless.

Pei's mother treated her very well. Even if she left the Pei family in the future, she would think of this kind old lady every day, hoping that she would be safe, healthy and happy.

The car slowly drove into the Pei family's old house. This castle full of retro style has a history of hundreds of years. It is the only one of its kind in the entire Hai City.

Lin Man retracted her gaze, got out of the car first, threw the gift to the housekeeper, and went into the house.

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man's actions, his face darkened for a moment. This woman is getting more and more unruly now! It would have been fine if she didn't make him a bowl of hangover soup yesterday! She actually let him sleep on the sofa all night!

She sat aside, twirling her bracelet, looking quite bored.

Pei Yan leaned back on the sofa, waving the wine glass in his hand, his deep eyes sparkling.

People kept coming to talk to him, like the moon surrounded by stars, which made Lin Man seem particularly lonely.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and He Sheng trotted over to Pei Yan and whispered, "Boss Pei, she refused to come."

Pei Yan took a sip of the wine in the glass, and a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.

"Let her."

Lin Man was sitting aside. She could probably read He Sheng’s lip movements. Why didn’t she want to come?

Who? Sweet?

Are you going to meet the parents now?

Lin Man raised an eyebrow.

"It turns out that Mr. Pei insisted on having me come here just to be a shield for your beloved. Unfortunately, she doesn't appreciate it. That's right, which girl would like a man like you who has a bad temper and is a stubborn male chauvinist!"

When Lin Man said this, Pei Yan's face suddenly darkened. He suddenly smiled, his indifferent peach blossom eyes without a trace of warmth.

"Yeah, if you don't come, she will become the target of public criticism."

Lin Man picked up the pillow at hand and threw it towards Pei Yan! But he caught it steadily with one hand and threw it aside!

"Since Mr. Pei is so considerate, you should divorce me quickly and marry her! This way, she will be able to stand by your side legitimately in the future, and no one will gossip about her anymore."

Lin Man hopes to complete the divorce procedures today. She has been waiting for this day for too long.

Pei Yan looked at the golden light in Lin Man's eyes, stood up calmly and said, "So what if I don't marry you? Who dares to gossip about me?"

Lin Man was furious! This bastard wanted to enjoy the happiness of having two wives?

She stood up and was about to point at Pei Yan when there was suddenly a commotion on the spiral staircase!

Several aunts of the Pei family were helping old man Pei walk down slowly. Pei Yan pulled Lin Man forward and called him "old man". Lin Man couldn't break free, so she could only stand there and called out unwillingly!

The old man nodded in agreement without even looking at Lin Man. She shrugged her shoulders. She might have felt uncomfortable in her previous life, but this time she had completely let it go.

"Today, we have gathered everyone together through the birthday party. I don't know if we can see each other again next year."

The eldest aunt of the Pei family said quickly, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense about the day of the big wedding! Your blessing is yet to come! Wait until Ah Yan has a child! You still have to take care of the great-grandchild! You must live a long life!"

Lin Man's eyes swept over the eldest aunt of the Pei family. This woman married a man from the north city. She was attracted by his appearance and good family background. However, she didn't expect that the man not only played around in private, but also had a hole in the company's account. She ran back with her children in anger.

For so many years, he relied on this mouth to coax the old man to give him houses and land.

But this time her words were not effective. Only Lin Man knew that the old man of the Pei family would be celestial next year and would no longer be able to protect her!

In her previous life, this woman had often played tricks on her at home, but she herself did not end up well in the end!

Whatever comes to mind!

After the eldest aunt of the Pei family finished her words, she fanned the flames and said, "What a pity, Ayan's wife is not pregnant! It's been almost a year since she got married, and there's no news. You should go back and find a hospital for a check-up. You will know that what the eldest aunt said is for your own good. For a woman, her life will be incomplete if she doesn't give birth to a child."

Lin Man gave a faint smile and said, "You are complete? You are missing your brain stem, and you are still talking to me about completeness."

"Aunt is really warm-hearted. She hasn't even figured out her own family affairs yet, but she's already eager to meddle in other people's business. If you had a child, it would be complete. But one child has seven mothers. Who knows, there might be another illegitimate child someday."

"You!" The eldest aunt of the Pei family looked at Lin Man in disbelief! Her eyes looked straight at Lin Man! It was as if she was meeting her for the first time!

Lin Man looked back generously, not afraid at all. In the past, Aunt Pei disliked her poor background and was very picky about her. She even said every day that she was not worthy of Pei Yan. However, she always felt that life was for herself, as long as she and Pei Yan were fine! No one else mattered!

But when Lin Man started over again, she had a new realization. Once they got married, it would become a matter between two families.

Her eyes suddenly glanced at Pei Yan. She had been refusing to divorce and marry Gan Tian. Was it because she was afraid that her identity would not be recognized by the Pei family and she would be ostracized?

So, this is another kind of protection?

When Pei Yan saw Lin Man's puzzled and thoughtful look, he understood it as another meaning.

This woman finally learned to show weakness and surrender, and seek his protection.

"Okay, aunt, stop interfering in family affairs. If you have nothing to do, just go back to North City."

What does it look like for a married woman to stay at home all the time?

Aunt Pei choked! Didn't her brother always dislike the daughter of the Lin family? Why was he speaking for her today?

But since Pei Yan had spoken, she didn't dare to say anything else. The old man would pass away sooner or later, and Pei Yan would be the one in charge of the Pei family in the future.
