Chapter 9 Blushing?

At midnight, the entire manor fell silent.

[Host, I found it.]

Xiaoshui was talking about the dark room that Song Chuhe had mentioned to Yu Zhi in his memory.

Yu Zhi opened her eyes and got out of bed.

"Are you sure Ayue is asleep?"

[Don't worry, host. I've confirmed it several times, and I won't wake up.]

Yu Zhi turned on the flashlight on her phone and slowly made her way downstairs. Following Xiao Shui's guidance, she walked through the lush bamboo forest. As her vision gradually opened up, she spotted a door with a combination lock.

The above code had been deciphered by Xiaoshui long ago, so Yu Zhi could pass through it unhindered.

She walked through the dim corridor, turned several turns, and finally arrived at the rusty gate.

【This is what I detected. 】

It was just a matter of the finishing touch, but Yu Zhi hesitated.

Xiaoshui didn't urge her and waited for Yu Zhi to prepare herself mentally.

Yu Zhi took a deep breath, pushed open the heavy door, and turned on the wall light in the dark.

The glaring light made her squint uncomfortably. Before she could see her surroundings clearly, she was the first to hear Xiaoshui's doubts.

[Huh? It's a storage room, that shouldn't be the case.]

What caught my eye were dusty shelves with miscellaneous items covered with rags, which looked quite old.

Yu Zhi flipped through the book casually, causing dust to fly everywhere. She was so choked that she couldn't stand it any longer and ran out covered in dust.

"Xiao Shui, is this the perverted torture chamber you mentioned?"

Xiaoshui also began to doubt his own scanning data.

"Why don't you go in and take a look? There might be a trap or a secret room."

"It's dirty, go by yourself if you want to go!" Covered in dust and sweat from running, Yu Zhi felt so sticky that she wanted to jump into the lake.

She walked back angrily in her slippers: "If I believe Song Chuhe's words again, I will be a dog."

Yu Zhi, whose mind was full of thoughts about taking a bath, did not notice the crack in Pei Yuezhou's bedroom door.

The man leaned against the door. There was no light in the room. Only the silvery moonlight shone through the glass window, faintly falling on his body.

It was not until he heard the sound of the door closing opposite that the shock in his eyes gradually subsided, but the coldness and silence surrounding him became even deeper.

On the other side, it was already late at night when Yu Zhi dried her hair.

Before going to bed, she specifically reminded Xiaoshui: "Don't study so hard, go check on Pei Qingsong's situation."

Pei Qingsong is Pei Yuezhou's cousin.

Later, Yu Zhi was so sleepy that she didn't know whether the system responded or not, and she fell asleep.

Naturally, she didn't know that the door was opened silently after she fell asleep.

Pei Yuezhou came to the bedside, looking down at the woman's sleeping face, the possessiveness in his eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow.

Xiaoshui was the first to become alert and stared at him nervously.

But Pei Yuezhou just bent down and restrainedly kissed Yu Zhi on the forehead, and did not take the next step.

Xiaoshui was struggling over whether or not to force Yu Zhi to turn on the phone, but the man just looked at her deeply and left.

It couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The sun had just risen above the horizon when the Song family private hospital was thrown into chaos.

As soon as Song Chuhe stepped into the ward, he was almost hit on the head by a thrown glass.

"Song Chuyin, what are you doing?"

Although he was angry, he still gave people a gentle feeling, so the girl who fell off the bed was not afraid at all.

Her eyes were filled with gloom and malice that shouldn't be seen at her age: "You promised to give me Yu Zhi's heart in exchange! I'm being tortured to the point of going crazy. Capture Yu Zhi right now!"

Song Chuhe sat down on a sofa not far from Song Chuyin, ignoring his sister's hysterics: "It's no use now. Don't try to attack her. I will find a way to treat your illness later."

Song Chuyin pushed away the nurse who came to support her and stood up angrily.

"Song Chuhe, do you want to listen to what you are saying? What did you promise me when you asked me to do something for you? I just helped you get rid of Song Yu, and now you want to cross the river and destroy the bridge?"

Song Chuhe was already a little tired of dealing with it. He rubbed his temples with one hand and suppressed his emotions: "Calm down, I won't ignore you."

"How do you expect me to calm down?! I'm the one dying, not you! I want you to bring Yu Zhi to me right now, otherwise what you've done will be exposed to the public..."

Before Song Chuyin could finish her threat, Song Chuhe stepped forward and grabbed her neck, his expression a fierce one she had rarely seen. "Want to threaten me? I'm afraid you haven't figured out why you've been able to live safely until now, right?"

Song Chuhe did not hold back his strength. The oxygen available for the girl to breathe became less and less. Even her pale face turned purple. A huge fear suddenly enveloped her.

Her brother usually disguised himself so well that she always forgot how cruel and cold-blooded the man in front of her was.

He was a man who could even harm his own parents, not to mention his sister who was now of no use to him.

"Brother, I, I... was wrong." She spoke with difficulty, lowering her posture in an attempt to gain his mercy.

Song Chuhe pushed her away in disgust.

"Among the new batch of goods that arrived at the auction house, there's someone who matches you. If you're obedient, I'll arrange surgery for you as soon as possible."

Song Chuyin took a few breaths, then quickly crawled to Song Chuhe's feet, looked up at him, and lost her previous arrogance: "I, I will. Brother, please save me, I'm really in pain..."

Song Chuhe impatiently avoided her actions, turned around and left.

Song Chuyin stared at his merciless back, her lips bleeding from biting them.

Although Pei Yuezhou's injuries had mostly healed, he still had no plans to move back to the group office.

Yu Zhi also became familiar with the two female assistants beside him. At that time, they were gathered in the living room chatting about gossip.

"Hey, do you know that the Song family is going to marry into the Zhao family?"

Yu Zhi subconsciously asked, "Who is with whom?"

It can’t be Song Yu, she remembered that he had someone he liked.

As for Song Nuan, she is a little young, and Song Yu, who has a sister complex, wouldn’t agree, right?

"Song Chuyin and Zhao Xiangluo."

Yu Zhi was really surprised by this combination.

She still had some memories of Zhao Xiangluo. Yu Zhi and he were high school classmates. That guy was a complete scoundrel. He changed girlfriends more frequently than he changed clothes. It seemed that he even got a girl pregnant. This matter caused quite a stir at the time.

To sum it up in one word, he is a scumbag.

The two young assistants also had a very bad opinion of Zhao Xiangluo.

"There are so many scandals flying around, and she's surrounded by little celebrities and internet influencers. I don't think Song Chuyin will have a good time in the future."

"Oh, when wealthy families like them marry, they only care about profit, and they don't care about anything else."

Yu Zhi nodded in agreement, but she never expected that she would be caught up in the fun the next second.

The two assistants stared at her with shining eyes: "Madam, are you and our President Pei also a wealthy marriage where you get married first and then fall in love?"

Yu Zhi wanted to change the subject, but was ruthlessly exposed by the assistant who had transformed into a prophet, and her way was blocked from both sides.

"Please just tell us. We won't spread it!"

The two swore again and again.

Yu Zhi couldn't stand their tantrums any longer, so she told the truth: "No, we've been dating since college."

When they heard this, their eyes lit up even more and they pressed on, "So who was chasing who?"

Yu Zhi inexplicably felt a little embarrassed: "It can't be considered as pursuing, but it was indeed me who started it..."

"Oh my god, what was Mr. Pei's expression like then? Was he shy? Who was more shy when you two kissed for the first time?"

Seeing the situation getting bigger and bigger, Yu Zhi blushed and struggled to stand up. She made up a lame excuse: "Well, I'm going back to take a nap. You guys keep working."

Watching her flee in panic, the two of them burst into laughter without mercy.

Yu Zhi walked up the stairs, so focused on running away that she didn't even look at the road ahead and bumped directly into the arms of Pei Yuezhou who was walking down.

Pei Yuezhou was wearing his daily home clothes, which made him look less cold and hard. He did not let go of Yu Zhi's hand immediately, but lowered his head to give her a questioning look.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Yu Zhi was afraid that he would notice anything unusual and just wanted to run away quickly.

But he pulled her back.

Fortunately, this time Yu Zhi managed to stabilize herself in time to avoid another car accident scene.

Pei Yuezhou leaned over and closed the distance between them, and stroked her blushing cheek with one hand.

His beautiful curved eyes looked straight at Yu Zhi: "Why is your face so red... Are you feeling unwell?"

There seemed to be invisible hooks hidden in the hoarse voice, entangled in people's hearts.

Faced with such beauty, Yu Zhi couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the lips. Then she quickly fled the crime scene.

Pei Yuezhou chuckled softly, with a subtle look of triumph in his eyes.

The two assistants were carrying documents upstairs. Before they could even greet their boss, they heard his voice: "This month's bonus will be doubled."

There was a pleasant laziness in the voice.

Assistant: Long live the boss!!!
