Huang Haichuan immediately wanted to suggest that they could take a carriage back and no one would see them, but before he could say it, he heard Zheng Pei say, "Why don't you go back first, take care of everything, and come back to pick me up after I've recovered from my injuries?"

Huang Haichuan was at a loss for words. Zheng Pei looked at him and deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Husband, have I made things difficult for you? If you can't bear to part with Mingyue, I can accept it. After all, Mingyue has won your heart."

Even though Zheng Pei dared to say that, Huang Haichuan didn't dare to agree in front of Zheng Lin. He had a feeling that if he agreed, Zheng Lin would really beat him to death. "It's not difficult. It was my fault before that caused us to drift apart. Mingyue is just a servant after all. How can she compare to you?"

"That's good!" Zheng Pei nodded with relief, placing her hand on Huang Haichuan's. "Thank you, husband."

Zheng Lin couldn't bear to see his sister and this beast treating each other like this, so he immediately lifted Huang Haichuan off Zheng Pei's bed. "Alright, you go back first. Come and pick him up after you've dealt with your family matters!"

When told to leave, Huang Haichuan didn't want to stay any longer. After giving Zheng Pei a reluctant look, he earnestly asked Zheng Lin, "Brother, please take good care of Pei'er!"

Zheng Lin ignored him.

Wang, on the other hand, politely saw the person out.

After leaving the Zheng family, Huang Haichuan walked home. He had come carrying things to show his sincerity, but he had left the things behind and hadn't come back to pick him up, leaving him without even a carriage.

However, Huang Haichuan had no intention of compromising himself. Walking home was out of the question, and there was no carriage available, but he could hire one.

But who knew that he hadn't gone far, just past the alley next to the Zheng family's house, when he was knocked unconscious.
