Chapter 1 More Stimulating

Lin Xiyin was puzzled. What had gotten into Pei Muye last night, that he had tormented her like that in bed?

She found out this morning.

My brother-in-law is getting engaged.

Her fiancé is the white moonlight in her husband Pei Muye's heart.

Simply put, Pei Muye's unrequited love is about to marry his younger brother.

More stimulation.

Thinking back to last night when Pei Muye grabbed her waist, his eyes red, and he was defiantly ravaging her like a madman, she suddenly felt incredibly ironic.

Lin Xiyin went downstairs, and Pei Muye had already packed up and was about to leave.

His height of nearly 1.9 meters gives him an imposing and authoritative presence.

When someone holds a high position for a long time, it's easy for people to overlook their facial features and focus more on their powerful aura.

But in fact, Pei Muyi has handsome features, and even his cold and solemn demeanor cannot hide the fact that he is a handsome man.

Moreover, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was tall and upright. His long legs were wrapped in high-quality fabric, which showed his strength and dominance.

Lin Xiyin had long known that the eldest young master of the Pei family was dignified, composed, and self-disciplined.

It seems that nothing in this world can stir his emotions.

Only, that white moonlight...

Lin Xiyin tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart, and walked towards the restaurant without looking at him.

Pei Muye's dark eyes swept over her, then he lowered his gaze to adjust his cufflinks before turning and leaving.

Neither of them said a word.

Hearing the door close, Lin Xiyin smiled bitterly, a pang of pain rising in her heart.

She originally thought she could accept a marriage where the relationship was "respectful but distant."

But she couldn't control her heart, and gradually fell for this man.

She ate her breakfast, but the food tasted bland, and her eyes were vacant.

Her phone rang, she answered it, and then stood up: "I'm coming right now."

By the afternoon, Lin Xiyin was exhausted from working at the research institute.

She and her previous partner, Li Yunxi, worked together seamlessly. She didn't know why he was suddenly transferred. The new teacher, Ms. Wu, wasn't good at data analysis.

She did the work of two people, and with other things on her mind, she felt even more tired.

After finishing my work, I checked my phone and found that Pei Muyi had sent a message with only five cold words: Go back to the old house tonight.

Lin Xiyin guessed that they were probably about to announce Pei Yunqing and Ming Qingwan's marriage.

Pei Yunqing is Pei Muye's younger brother, but they are half-brothers.

Ming Qingwan was the unforgettable white moonlight in Pei Muyi's heart.

The two brothers fell in love with the same woman.

Tonight's family dinner... is sure to be very lively.

When Lin Xiyin arrived at the Pei family's old residence, she was about to enter the house when she saw Pei Muyi and Ming Qingwan at the corner.

They were a bit far away, so I couldn't hear what they were saying.

But she saw Pei Muye hand her a gift bag.

Ming Qingwan's smile was so happy and sweet.

She tilted her head back, her delicate and pretty face bearing the pitiful and charming look that Lin Xiyin often saw.

From this angle, you can see Pei Muye's profile; he has a high nose bridge, a firm jaw, and a slight upturn at the corners of his lips.

It's a smile I'll never show when I'm with her.

My heart felt like it had been instantly soaked in acidic water, both bitter and painful.

Lin Xiyin dug her nails into her palms, withdrew her gaze, and stepped onto the stairs.

The heels made a slight sound as they touched the stone steps.

Pei Muye looked over at the sound, the smile on his lips long gone, his gaze cold and his face stern.

Lin Xiyin kept her eyes straight ahead and opened the door.

Pei Muye turned to leave.

Ming Qingwan called to him softly, "Brother Muye, do you have time tomorrow afternoon? Yun Qing is going to his mentor's place. Could you come with me to the vet?"

Pei Muye's voice was low: "I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon... Let me see. Let's go inside first, it's cold outside."

Ming Qingwan smiled and said, "Brother Muye, you go in first. I'll call Yun Qing."

As Pei Muye left, Ming Qingwan's lips curled up, her smile revealing confidence and determination.

As soon as Lin Xiyin entered the room, she heard a strange, sarcastic voice.

"Coming to our house for dinner and having to be invited three or four times, what kind of airs are you putting on? You're the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, people who don't know you would think you're the ancestor of the Pei family! You're married but you don't stay at home to be a good wife and mother, do laundry and cook, you still go out and show your face in public, what kind of behavior is that!"

Lin Xiyin looked up and saw Pei Muye's stepmother, Zhou Yusu, sitting there, exuding elegance and extraordinary bearing.

His words, however, were sharp, sarcastic, arrogant, and extravagant.

The Pei family was large and powerful, and after the old man passed away, Pei Muye took on the responsibility.

Zhou Yusu is a stepmother, and her relationship with Pei Muye is strained. Naturally, she hopes that all of the Pei family's assets will be divided among her sons.

She disliked Pei Muye, and therefore disliked Lin Xiyin even more.

Back then, the old man made the decision for Pei Muye to marry Lin Xiyin, and everyone felt that the Lin family was not good enough for the Pei family.

Only Zhou Yusu felt that this marriage was a good match.

The lower the social status of the woman Pei Muye marries, the greater the chances of Pei Yunqing finding a suitable match later.

Zhou Yusu is satisfied with her son's current fiancée.

The Ming family has two sons and only one daughter, whom they spoil rotten.

Ming Qingwan's two older brothers are both very good to her and will become Pei Yunqing's help in the future.

Compared to this, Lin Xiyin was even less of a threat, and when no one was around, Zhou Yusu treated her with even less restraint.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Pei Muye appeared behind Lin Xiyin.

He raised his hand, his palm resting on Lin Xiyin's lower back, his voice cold: "What are you doing standing here? Go inside."

Lin Xiyin dodged his hand, changed her shoes, and went inside.

Pei Muye clenched his fist, his knuckles clearly visible.

Zhou Yusu stood up, a polite smile on her face: "Muye is here. Come in quickly, dinner is almost ready."

Pei Muye spoke coldly to her: "Why are you in the living room? Shouldn't you be in the kitchen? After all, you married into the Pei family, so you're supposed to be a good wife and mother, and do laundry and cook."
