Xie Cinian stood up: "The room upstairs has been cleaned. Come and sleep with me."

Pei Zhi was stunned: "Huh?"

Xie Cinian replied matter-of-factly, "We are husband and wife, and we haven't seen each other for half a year."

When Xie Cinian and Pei Zhi got married, they signed an agreement.

A prenuptial agreement protects Xie Ci's property.

Incidentally, the agreement also states that neither party will restrict the other's emotional life after marriage.

Are you abroad?

Pei Zhi didn't quite believe it; someone with Xie Cinian's wealth had no reason to wrong himself.

Xie Cinian was getting impatient. "Do you want to sleep?"

Pei Zhi rolled her eyes and refused outright, "No, I'm tired. I have to go to a party with you tonight."

Pei Zhi refused without hesitation; they were husband and wife.

When she wanted to, looking at Xie Cinian's face, she wouldn't lose anything by sleeping with him.

But Pei Zhi had only recently gotten together with Chi Xiuwen, so she was a bit full and didn't really want to eat.

Moreover, Xie Ci Nian's commanding tone only made Pei Zhi more disdainful.

Xie Cinian looked Pei Zhi up and down and realized that something was wrong with her.

Her clothes looked a little wrinkled, but she looked radiant.

"Okay, then I'll go take a nap first."

When Xie Ci Nian returned, the old house became lively again.

The maid cleaned the house thoroughly, from top to bottom, making sure there wasn't a speck of dust.

The servants were running back and forth in the room, and Pei Zhi's eyes hurt from watching them, so she went to the study.

The old house's study has a considerable collection of antique books, but few modern ones.

Pei Zhi randomly picked out a German book from the last century.

Pei Zhi originally just wanted to kill some time, but unexpectedly, she actually got engrossed in it.

The book is very interesting. It tells the story of a hermit who wants to retire to the mountains but encounters a series of hilarious and absurd events.

Pei Zhi forgot the time and didn't realize that it was dark outside.

"Can you understand this book?"

Xie Cinian appeared behind Pei Zhi without her noticing.

Pei Zhi was somewhat startled. "What?"

"Can you understand this book?"

"What's the problem?"

Xie Ci chuckled lightly, "It's nothing, the stylist has arrived. Go pick out your clothes and get ready for makeup."

Pei Zhi nodded slightly, placed a bookmark inside the book, and put the book back in its original position.

After Pei Zhi left, Xie Cinian took out the book that Pei Zhi had just been reading.

Xie Ci studied in Germany during high school and has some knowledge of the German language.

Xie Ci Nian also seemed somewhat stumped by this German book.

Some of the language in books from the last century is different from that of today.

It's like comparing their current simplified Chinese characters to their past traditional Chinese characters.

The difference is even greater in German.

At least, Xie Ci Nian, who has lived in Germany for seven or eight years, cannot understand this book.

Interestingly, Pei Zhi has never been to Germany in her life.

Before Xie Cinian and Pei Zhi got married and registered their marriage, Xie Cinian knew all of Pei Zhi's information.

Xie Ci Nian knows exactly where he has been and what he has studied.

An orphan girl went abroad alone and appeared in his life at just the right time.

He was very clever and quick-witted, understanding things immediately.

Pei Zhi's marriage to Xie Cinian was a complete accident.

Xie Ci Nian has a fiancée in the country, whom he was engaged to before he was even born.

The other party had saved the Xie family patriarch's life, but later, the patriarch went abroad, and the matter was dropped.

A couple of years ago, the old man's health wasn't very good, so he started thinking about some things from his youth.

It was this marriage that, it is said, was his last wish to fulfill before he died.

Xie Ci Nian sent someone back to China to search for his fiancée, but it turned out that she hadn't been raised as a child.

The whole family, not a single one of them survived.

The old man was already in very poor health at the time, and Xie Cinian didn't want to make him too sad.

Xie Cinian found Pei Zhi and asked her to pretend to be the granddaughter of his comrade-in-arms.

The age is also appropriate, and Pei Zhi is very good at pleasing the elderly.

Xie Cinian would never have imagined that he sought out Pei Zhi just to please the old man.

The results were fantastic; the old man insisted that Xie Cinian marry Pei Zhi.

The old man even declared that if Xie Cinian did not marry Pei Zhi, all of his assets would be left to Pei Zhi.

Just when Xie Ci Nian was at his wit's end, Pei Zhi proposed a marriage of convenience.

First, appease the old man by holding a wedding, where neither party restricts the other's private life.

Xie Ci Nian was quite grateful to Pei Zhi, saying she was a very sensible young woman.

This saved Xie Ci a lot of trouble.

Even abroad, Pei Zhi handled her family relatives with ease.

It wasn't until after the old man passed away and all his funeral arrangements were completed that Pei Zhi said she wanted to return to China to fulfill her dream.

When Xie Ci Nian learned that Pei Zhi's dream was to enter the entertainment industry, although he didn't understand it, he respected it.

Xie Cinian is now sitting quietly in his study, pondering the ins and outs of the matter, which seems very strange no matter how you look at it.

She's already married to him, yet she's still thinking about returning to the entertainment industry to pursue her dreams?

Pei Zhi shouldn't cling to him. She should have a few children first to secure her position as Mrs. Xie.

What's so great about being a celebrity? The money they earn in their entire lives isn't even as much as the allowance he gives Pei Zhi in a month.

The assistant knocked on the door, interrupting Xie Cinian's thoughts. "Sir, Madam's things are almost ready. You can go and change your clothes now."

"knew."

Xie Cinian instructed, "Go back and check what your wife has been doing since she returned to China."

"Is it necessary to make friends privately as well?"

The assistant's question about private friendships is a matter of privacy.

It's not that Pei Zhiming's actions are all over the place.

"all."

The assistant nodded. "Okay."

Xie Cinian changed into a gray haute couture suit, and Pei Zhi's makeup was finished; she was trying on jewelry.

Given Pei Zhi's age, the stylist opted to forgo jewelry like emeralds.

"Take the crown off, it's too heavy."

Pei Zhi's hair was put up in a bun, and the stylist put a crown worth millions on her head.

It certainly looks dazzling, but it actually weighs about two or three pounds.

Pei Zhi didn't want to choke on her throat all night.

The stylist carefully removed the crown. "If you're not going to wear the crown, how about we try a different hair accessory?"

Pei Zhi found it troublesome and glanced at the table, noticing a bottle of blue roses.

"Pick a flower for me."

Pei Zhi took the rose, pinned it in her hair, looked at herself in the mirror, and thought it looked light and pretty.

The stylist moved his lips, wanting to say something, but dared not offend the big client.

Wearing a rose to a dinner party seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?

Who doesn't wear expensive jewelry?

Pei Zhi looked at Xie Cinian in the mirror, "Do I look good?"

Xie Cinian nodded, "It looks good."

Xie Ci Nian always affirmed Pei Zhi's beauty.

Xie Ci Nian could even say that Pei Zhi was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

Her lips are naturally red, and when she smiles, she is radiant; when she doesn't smile, she is elegant and charming.
