This was the first time she had slept in the same bed with Pei Yan since her marriage. If it were in the past, she would have been so happy that she would probably have been too excited to sleep.

But now Lin Man only felt sleepy in her mind, but her heart was peaceful. It turned out that as long as people gave up those unrealistic fantasies, they could suffer less.

Pei Yan chuckled, his lips curled up into an arc. He turned his head and stared at Lin Man with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

"It is undeniable that you have grown very quickly this year. I am just very curious about what happened to make a person change his personality so drastically in such a short period of time.

Lin Man's mind trembled, but her expression did not show any movement. Her fair and moist face was buried in the pillow, looking very comfortable.

"Does something have to happen?"

"As the saying goes, the highest realm of love is to let go. If you love him, then you should fulfill his wish. Can't it be that I want to fulfill Mr. Pei's wish just because I have too deep feelings for him?"

"Really?" Pei Yan's face was gloomy. If she said that this woman had no feelings for him and wanted to take the money and run away, he could believe it to some extent. But if she said that this stupid woman wanted to help him because she loved him, he didn't believe a word of it.

In his heart, if you love someone, you must get them, own them, even if you have to do whatever it takes, even if you have to tie them up! This is Pei Yan's love. He doesn't believe that others will give selflessly without asking for anything in return.

Lin Man thought she would have a sleepless night sleeping in the same bed with Pei Yan for the first time, but unexpectedly she rested very well. She did not wake up in the middle of the night and dream about the past.

When Lin Man got up, there was no one beside her. She reached out and touched the bed on her left side and found it was no longer warm.

After she tidied herself up, she changed into clean clothes and went downstairs.

Pei's mother got up early and was dancing downstairs.

"Mom, have you had breakfast? Can I make you some porridge?"

Lin Man tied her hair into a low ponytail with a bow and was about to open the refrigerator when Pei's mother stopped her.

She smiled and pulled Lin Man to sit at the dining table. "We've had it early in the morning. A Yan made porridge for mom and also prepared a lot of side dishes. Look, mom specially left them for you. Ask the chef to heat them up and you can drink them." Mother Pei showed the untouched dishes on the table to Lin Man.

Lin Man nodded obediently, but in her heart she was very resistant to the food made by Pei Yan. She got up very early herself, and today she wanted to cook even earlier for Pei's mother, but Pei's mother and Pei Yan got up even earlier, so the ingredients she bought when she came were of no use.

The servant brought the hot porridge up. Pei's mother was afraid that Lin Man would not have enough, so she asked the chef to add a few more side dishes. Lin Man drank the porridge in the bowl silently under Pei's mother's smiling gaze. When she thought that this was made by Pei Yan, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she could not taste any flavor in the food she swallowed.

Mother Pei kept picking up food for Lin Man. "Good girl, you eat so little, no wonder you are so thin. I'll tell Ah Yan to find two nutritionists from China to take good care of you. Girls can't just be too skinny. Health is the most important thing."

Pei's mother thought Lin Man wanted to lose weight, so she tried to persuade her earnestly.

Lin Man nodded stiffly with a smile on her face, and ate the food that Pei's mother had picked up from the bowl in small bites.

Mother Pei smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that Lin Man was eating well, she kept picking up more food. Lin Man felt that her stomach was about to burst.

After sending Mother Pei to play mahjong with her sisters, she hurried out, thinking of coming back in the afternoon, at least until Mother Pei had lunch. After all, she really couldn't eat anymore.

Lin Man drove and found a shopping mall nearby, strolling around casually. The luxury goods in the mall were dazzling.

She walked towards a less crowded direction, and an exquisite display cabinet caught Lin Man's attention.

An exquisite crown was placed in the transparent panoramic glass. It had a small and exquisite design and a unique style. The diamonds on it sparkled with dazzling brilliance. Lin Man was attracted at first sight.

She was so lost in thought that a female shopping guide came over, glanced at Lin Man, and said, "Miss, this crown is a show model that the popular actress Liang Anna wore at the New York Times Street Show. The official price is three million. It needs to be matched one to one. Only those with an annual consumption of ten million are eligible to buy it."

Lin Man was originally very interested in this small and exquisite crown, but after hearing this, she lost the desire to look at it any further. She hated this bundling mechanism of matching goods, and perhaps she was not the target group for this luxury product. She nodded and was about to leave when a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"Like this?"

Lin Man turned around and saw that Ji Ze was standing behind her at some point. The man stood tall and straight, looking at Lin Man with bright eyes, and blinked at her with his watery eyes.

Lin Man looked away, looked at the glittering crown on the counter, nodded and smiled, "It's very beautiful, but too expensive. I don't have an occasion to wear it out."

"Why is President Ji here?"

Lin Man blinked curiously. This place was far away from Tiangang Bay, so she shouldn't have met Ji Ze.

"Come and sign a contract."

Ji Ze waved the hand holding the document, and Lin Man could only see the four big words "Acquisition Agreement". She thought to herself, in her previous life, Ji Ze had acquired many luxury brands with his unique vision, and the value of some of them had increased by hundreds or thousands of times.

She looked at the acquisition book in Ji Ze's hand and asked, "Which brand is President Ji here to acquire today?"

That store must be very valuable, and if it’s jewelry, it wouldn’t hurt for her to stock up some later, maybe it will appreciate in value!

Ji Ze smiled softly, looking at the eager look in Lin Man's eyes, although he couldn't bear it, he still told the truth: "Buy this mall."

....

She was speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere became cold. Ji Ze did not say anything, he just stood there, looking at her with a smile.

The assistant beside Ji Ze looked at the time, and cautiously leaned close to Ji Ze's ear and reminded him, "Boss Ji, the next acquisition meeting is about to start."

Hearing this, Ji Ze looked down at his watch, his eyes somewhat helpless, "Time flies so fast."

"Xiao Manman, I'm leaving first. See you later."

"Take care, Mr. Ji."

Lin Man said goodbye to Ji Ze, walked around the mall, bought some things for Pei's mother, and calculated that it was past lunch time at Pei's house, so she drove back to Pei's house.

As soon as she entered the door, before Lin Man put down her things, Pei's mother came out of the kitchen with an insulated box in her hand.

Lin Man's scalp tightened. Could it be that Pei's mother had specially left some food for her?

"Mom, I've already eaten outside..."

Before she finished speaking, Pei's mother smiled and stuffed the thermos box into her arms, saying, "You came back at the right time. I wanted to nourish your body, so I stewed all the old hens you brought back. But the chicken soup will not be good if left overnight, so I packed some for you. Take it to the company and let Ah Yan try it."
