Fu Shen adjusted his collar, unwilling to talk to Huo Jiaxi, and turned to leave.

Huo Jiaxi couldn't help but whistle again at Fu Shen's retreating figure.

Pei Zhi opened the door and saw Huo Jiaxi's scoundrel-like appearance.

"What are you blowing?"

Upon seeing Pei Zhi, Huo Jiaxi immediately became obedient, saying, "My mouth itches, let me blow on it a couple of times."

"If it's itchy, just kiss a few more people and it'll be fine."

Huo Jiaxi didn't understand what Pei Zhi meant at first.

Coming to her senses, Huo Jiaxi realized that Pei Zhi must have also seen Huo Jiayuan's post on WeChat Moments.

Huo Jiaxi tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a slightly stiff smile.

Pei Zhi added, "Huo Jiayuan has a childish temper, don't take it to heart."

"I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf."

What could Huo Jiaxi say?

"It's okay, he and I are siblings, we've been like this since we were little, I'm used to it."

Pei Zhi nodded slightly, "Then I'll go down first."

Huo Jiaxi hurriedly fawned, "Have a safe journey."

Huo Jiaxi was impressed by Pei Zhi's composure. She had seen everything, so wasn't Pei Zhi afraid that she would reveal it?

Pei Zhi wasn't afraid at all.

Even if Huo Jiaxi witnessed it with her own eyes, she still ran up to Huo Jiayuan and said...

Whether Huo Jiayuan will believe Huo Jiaxi is still uncertain.

If Huo Jiaxi really does that, it means she's broken ties with Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi doesn't need to deal with Huo Jiaxi; the Huo family will deal with Huo Jiaxi first.

The amusement park officially opened for business, and it has been packed every day since the first day of operation.

Tickets online are already sold out for the month after next, so this project can be considered a great success.

With the weather turning cooler recently, Huo Jiayuan, having nothing to do, made a trip with his friends to go skiing abroad.

Pei Zhi, on the other hand, worked like a slave at the company.

I took a sip of coffee and listened to my subordinates report on the company's financial statement for the previous month.

"Since its launch, sales have soared and it has sold out."

Everything else is just empty talk; sales figures are what truly matter.

The Pei family's jewelry has always been positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, with a single bracelet costing at least tens of thousands of yuan. How could ordinary people afford to buy such a thing?

"Therefore, our design department is preparing to release some more products under the 'Beloved' series, such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets."

Sitting to the side, Qu Miaoyu asked curiously, "Why not release a ring series?"

"With the title 'Beloved,' a ring made from that name should sell quite well."

Rings are probably the most common way to express love, right?

The design manager said, "We plan to release a ring product at the end of the year, named 'Treasure'."

"The meaning is that you are my treasure. If we were to release a ring series now, we'd be afraid that two different series of rings would clash."

Qu Miaoyu suddenly realized and indicated that she understood.

The meeting ended at noon.

Qu Miaoyu wanted to invite Pei Zhi to have dinner at a newly opened restaurant in the city center.

"I don't have time to eat."

Qu Miaoyu said unhappily, "There's still an hour and a half before I start work this afternoon, why are you so busy?"

"Go find your lover to have dinner with you, I'm going to see Xingran."

"What's wrong with him now?"

"They said they weren't feeling well and couldn't eat much."

Qu Miaoyu crossed her arms and said, "There are countless pregnant men working at the company, why is he being so dramatic?"

"She's resting every day and not working, yet she complains of feeling unwell here and there."

Qu Miaoyu reminded Pei Zhi, "He probably knows Huo Jiayuan isn't here and is deliberately making things difficult for you."

Although Qu Miaoyu disliked Huo Jiayuan, Huo Jiayuan was at least from a wealthy family.

"Sister, don't blame me for not reminding you, you must not let men outside bewitch you."

Qu Miaoyu said earnestly, "I have no problem with you caring about Xu Xingran, but don't do anything irrational for his sake."

Qu Miaoyu was afraid that Pei Zhi's concern for Xu Xingran would cause Xu Xingran to have unnecessary thoughts.

If Xu Xingran tries to take advantage of her pregnancy to climb the social ladder, that won't do.

"Come on, he's not that kind of person." Pei Zhi didn't want to hear any of this.

Qu Miaoyu was furious when she heard this. "I'm reminding you again! If a scandal breaks out, the company's stock price will be affected."

Although Pei Zhi is not a public figure, her grand wedding previously shocked the entire internet.

If a couple gets divorced after only a few months of marriage, it would be extremely detrimental to the company.

Pei Zhi looked at Qu Miaoyu with a calm gaze, "Does your sister look like she has a mental disability?"

Seeing that Pei Zhi showed no sign of anxiety, Qu Miaoyu realized that her worries were unnecessary.

If Pei Zhi were so easily swayed by emotions, she wouldn't be in this position.

Qu Miaoyu quickly said, "As long as you know what you're doing, go ahead."

Pei Zhi picked up her coat and car keys and headed to Xu Xingran's apartment.

Pei Zhi knew perfectly well that Xu Xingran was just being dramatic because she was pregnant.

For the sake of the mission, Pei Zhi really couldn't let anything happen to this child.

Therefore, Pei Zhi could only make two trips.

Pregnancy is hard enough, and Xu Xingran is still an unmarried woman with no official status. Pei Zhi can tolerate her being a little dramatic.

Pei Zhi drove her car out of the underground garage, where her maid was already waiting at the garage door, carrying a thermos.

They arrived at Xu Xingran's apartment without any problems.

Xu Xingran was watching TV at home when she heard Pei Zhi open the door and immediately ran over.

"You've finally arrived. The children have missed you."

Pei Zhi handed the insulated food container to Xu Xingran, "Is the chef's cooking not good? I'll have someone find you a new one."

Xu Xingran got along well with the male chef, and quickly explained, "No, it's just that I have no appetite for anything when you're not around."

Pei Zhi said calmly, "Hiring a chef is for cooking for you. If you can't eat it, then it's his problem."

Xu Xingran somewhat understood what Pei Zhi meant, "It won't happen again next time. It's just that I didn't have much of an appetite when I went for my prenatal checkup today."

Pei Zhi didn't say anything more and went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

How did the prenatal checkup go?

Xu Xingran took out the test results and handed them to Pei Zhi. "The doctor said everything is normal and there's nothing wrong."

Pei Zhi took the examination form and carefully looked at each item before putting it down.

The more meticulous Pei Zhi was, the more comfortable Xu Xingran felt.

This shows that Pei Zhi cares about the child, and also about him.

Pei Zhi picked up her chopsticks and put some food on Xu Xingran's plate: "You need to eat more. You're too thin, it's not good for the baby."

"You eat too."

Pei Zhi shook her head, "I just finished a meeting and I'm a little tired. You eat."

Xu Xingran felt a little guilty after hearing Pei Zhi's words.

He knew Pei Zhi was very busy, but he still deliberately bothered her, just wanting her to spend more time with him.

Xu Xingran said in a low voice, "I can eat by myself. If you're busy, you should go back to the company first."

Pei Zhi said gently, "No matter how busy I am, I can still find time to have a meal with you."
