The horse farm is owned by the Pei family, and Pei Zhi has her own horses kept here, so she doesn't need to select horses.

Qu Miaoyu went outside to choose a horse, while Pei Zhi carried a basket of horse feed prepared by the horse breeder and went to feed the horses.

Every time Pei Zhi came to the carriage, he would personally feed the horses.

After riding, he would personally brush the horse's mane.

Pei Zhi's horses are very spirited, and they are fed by a professional horse breeder.

Others, let alone ride it, would worry that even touching it would result in the horse kicking them.

Pei Zhi personally fed the horse with carrots, and then took an apple from the basket and placed it in her palm.

Ma licked Pei Zhi's palm and put the apple in his mouth.

Pei Zhi gently stroked the horse's head, "Little Qianjin is such a good boy."

"I've never looked at you with such tenderness."

Pei Zhi turned her head and looked at Fu Shen, who had appeared out of nowhere.

When did you arrive?

“Just now.” Fu Shen stepped forward and examined Pei Zhi’s horse. “Is it named Qianjin?”

Pei Zhi nodded, "Mm."

"This name is so meaningful."

Fu Shen picked up a green vegetable from the basket and handed it to the horse's mouth.

Ma snorted at Fu Shen and turned his head away, refusing to eat.

"You horse, you've got some backbone."

Pei Zhi scratched her head. "Don't you even know who owns this horse?"

"After horseback riding, how about we go have dinner together? And then go to the hot springs tonight?"

Fu Shen meant that Pei Zhi shouldn't go back tonight.

Pei Zhi paused feeding the horses for a moment. "Jia Yuan will be back tonight."

Fu Shen's lips stiffened slightly, and he said with a hint of bitterness, "I was presumptuous."

"Next time."

"When is the next time?" Fu Shen pressed. "Our relationship isn't sustainable."

Pei Zhi said with a half-smile, "What, do you want me to get a divorce?"

Fu Shen said self-deprecatingly, "How could I dare?"

They almost broke up because of Pei Zhi's marriage proposal.

Even so, Pei Zhi still married Huo Jiayuan.

In the end, Fu Shen compromised; otherwise, he and Pei Zhi would have had to break off all ties.

Pei Zhi continued feeding the horses, ignoring Fu Shen's somewhat mournful words.

"That's true." Fu Shen shook his head. "You're newly married now. What am I to you?"

"It's nothing more than that I can't bear to part with you, so I lowered myself and came to you."

Pei Zhi stroked the horse's head, turned to look at Fu Shen, and said coldly, "Who told you to do this?"

"I didn't hold a knife to your throat and force you to continue this kind of relationship with me."

"So don't even think about trying to move me."

Pei Zhi understood Fu Shen's meaning; he was simply trying to gain sympathy from her.

Let her know how much Fu Shen has sacrificed for her.

But this kind of moral blackmail was completely useless against Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi could try to coax Fu Shen, but Fu Shen clearly has a big appetite and wants more than just these things.

Pei Zhi mounted her horse and looked down at Fu Shen. "If you think you don't like this kind of relationship, then you can end it anytime."

After Pei Zhi finished speaking, she didn't care about Fu Shen's reaction. She kicked the horse and rode away.

Fu Shen was left alone on the spot, his eyes filled with gloom and frustration.

Fu Shen was just annoyed that Pei Zhi treated Huo Jiayuan so well.

Pei Zhi also made it clear to Fu Shen that he should not have any inappropriate thoughts.

They could continue this relationship, but Fu Shen wanted more, which was impossible.

Fu Shen is the kind of businessman who is always pushing his luck.

If Pei Zhi hadn't kept things in check from the beginning and had instead fueled Fu Shen's appetite, things would have become even more complicated later on.

Huo Jiayuan traveled back and forth on his private jet, so he naturally had a great time.

Pei Zhi personally drove to pick up Huo Jiayuan.

When Huo Jiayuan saw Pei Zhi, he immediately rushed over and gave her a big hug.

Huo Jiayuan's friends were incredibly envious.

Huo Jiayuan hadn't seen Pei Zhi for almost half a month and missed her terribly. He hugged Pei Zhi tightly and didn't want to let go.

After saying goodbye to his friends, Huo Jiayuan pressed Pei Zhi down and kissed her as soon as he got into the car.

After the long kiss ended, Huo Jiayuan looked at Pei Zhi with sparkling eyes, "Did you miss me?"

Before Pei Zhi could answer, he said, "I miss you so much."

"This is the first time I've traveled alone since we got married. At first, I didn't think anything of it."

“But I can’t sleep at night when you’re not by my side.”

Pei Zhi pulled out a tissue to wipe the water from her mouth. "That's it, you'll never be able to leave me from now on."

Huo Jiayuan clung to Pei Zhi's arm and said coquettishly, "I don't care, I'll let it go this time, but you have to take some time every year to go on a trip with me twice."

Pei Zhi followed Huo Jiayuan's lead and said, "I'll try my best."

Pei Zhi drove home, and Huo Jiayuan told her about the interesting things that happened while skiing and how he made several friends.

"I bought a lot of things and brought you a gift, but it has to go through customs, so it will probably take a few days to arrive."

It will take several days to receive it; it seems Huo Jiayuan bought quite a lot.

After Huo Jiayuan finished speaking, Pei Zhi said, "The old man isn't feeling well. Go home and get some rest tonight, and go see him tomorrow."

Huo Jiayuan was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You mean Grandpa?"

"Yes, according to Mr. Huo, several tests have been done, but no problems have been found yet."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jiayuan immediately became worried. "No, we can't go home. Let's go see Grandpa first."

Pei Zhi reminded Huo Jiayuan to check his watch, "What time is it? Don't disturb the old man's rest."

Huo Jiayuan's plane landed at nine o'clock. After chatting for a while at the airport, it was now past ten o'clock.

At this hour, even if the old man wasn't asleep, he would definitely be lying down.

Huo Jiayuan was somewhat annoyed. "You should have told me sooner, then I would have come back earlier."

Pei Zhi gripped the steering wheel and said, "I only heard it from President Huo during a meeting yesterday."

Pei Zhi is not a member of the Huo family, and the Huo family's affairs will not be told to Pei Zhi.

If Pei Zhi hadn't asked him personally yesterday, perhaps President Huo wouldn't have told her.

“I am so unfilial. My grandfather is so good to me, but when he is not feeling well, I cannot be by his side to fulfill my filial duty.”

Pei Zhi had no way to respond to that, so she could only drive silently.

Huo Jiayuan saw Pei Zhi as soon as he got off the plane, and he was in a very good mood.

Upon learning that her grandfather had health problems, she became extremely anxious.

Grandpa is not young anymore, and health problems at this age are no small matter.

Huo Jiayuan felt guilty for not being able to get to his grandfather's side immediately.

He didn't sleep well all night, and surprisingly, he got up earlier than Pei Zhi the next day.

After urging Pei Zhi to wash up and eat some breakfast, he had the driver take her to the Huo family's house.
