When Assistant Gao saw Huo Jiayuan arrive, he immediately perked up.

This young master usually just eats, drinks, and has fun. Why is he suddenly at the company today?

Assistant Gao immediately put on a smile, "Young Master Huo, what brings you here?"

Huo Jiayuan pointed to the thermos in his hand, "I'm sending some soup to your CEO Pei."

Assistant Gao glanced at the thermos, then at Huo Jiayuan.

Assistant Gao was genuinely worried that once Young Master Huo entered the office, the hot soup in the thermos wouldn't end up in President Pei's stomach.

It was on President Pei's face.

"President Pei is not here; she has gone out."

Huo Jiayuan asked with a hint of doubt, "They went out?"

"Yes." Assistant Gao nodded vigorously. "She left about ten minutes ago. It seems like she had something urgent to attend to. Why don't you call her?"

Huo Jiayuan thought for a moment, "Then forget it, I'll just wait for her in her office."

Assistant Gao quickened his pace and blocked Huo Jiayuan's path.

"Young Master Huo, there are quite a few confidential documents in President Pei's office."

Huo Jiayuan frowned. "You mean, I can't go into her office?"

"Of course not," Assistant Gao quickly explained. "What I mean is, no one can open the door to President Pei's office when she's not there."

Huo Jiayuan couldn't help but mutter, "She's quite meticulous."

"Never mind then, I'll head back home first..." Huo Jiayuan was just about to turn around and go home.

Qu Miaoyu walked over from behind and said, "Assistant Gao, take this document to President Pei for his signature."

Assistant Gao frantically winked at Qu Miaoyu, signaling her to shut up.

Huo Jiayuan had his back to Qu Miaoyu, and Qu Miaoyu had no choice but to recognize him from his back.

"What's wrong?" Qu Miaoyu asked, puzzled. "Just because Fu Shen is in my sister's office, does that mean we can't bother him?"

After hearing Qu Miaoyu's words, Assistant Gao felt so bad that he wanted to roll his eyes and just faint.

Assistant Gao's bitter expression was so obvious that Qu Miaoyu also noticed something was wrong.

Huo Jiayuan turned around and gave Qu Miaoyu a contemptuous smile.

Qu Miaoyu's expression froze instantly. She finally understood why Assistant Gao had that expression just now.

Huo Jia nodded enthusiastically, "Okay, very good."

Assistant Gao tried to block Huo Jiayuan's way, but Huo Jiayuan pushed him aside and stormed into Pei Zhi's office.

Assistant Gao and Qu Miaoyu could only quickly follow behind, hoping that if anything unexpected happened, they could help break up the fight.

Qu Miaoyu patted her mouth, "Oh no, oh no, did I mess up?"

"What do you think?" Assistant Gao's tone carried a hint of exasperation. "I was almost able to coax the person away."

It was because Qu Miaoyu blurted out everything as soon as she opened her mouth.

Before getting married, Huo Jiayuan visited Pei Zhi's company and toured her office.

When Huo Jiayuan arrived at Pei Zhi's office, he suddenly felt uneasy.

He held his breath and concentrated, but he couldn't hear any movement inside.

There's no movement. Could they be hugging each other?

Huo Jiayuan remembered that Pei Zhi's office had a lounge. Could they have been in the lounge...?

Huo Jiayuan gripped the handle of the thermos tightly. After a mental struggle, he suddenly took two steps back.

When Assistant Gao and Qu Miaoyu arrived, Huo Jiayuan immediately shoved the things he was holding into Assistant Gao's hands.

"I'll tell President Pei in a bit that I was passing by and left the soup at the front desk."

After saying that, Huo Jiayuan slunk away.

In the past, Huo Jiayuan would have kicked the office door open long ago.

If he saw Pei Zhi do something to offend him, he would definitely make a huge scene.

We must make Pei Zhi bleed a lot and give him a good beating before this matter can be over.

But now, Huo Jiayuan has lost his confidence.

He can't go in and make a scene anymore.

The Huo family will no longer support him.

He couldn't afford to offend Pei Zhi; he had already lost the right to be willful.

Therefore, Huo Jiayuan chose to be a coward, pretending to know nothing so that he could live his life properly.

Huo Jiayuan sat in the sports car that Pei Zhi had given him, comforting himself.

"Most rich women are not good people; Pei Zhi is already considered quite good."

At least, Pei Zhi didn't bring people to him to show off.

At least, Pei Zhi still respected him.

Before Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhi got married, they signed many prenuptial agreements.

Basically, Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhi's income before and after marriage means that even in the event of a divorce, neither of them will gain an advantage over the other.

Huo Jiayuan warned himself that he must not act impulsively.

Thinking back on all these years, and how his father lived after his divorce, he couldn't repeat the same mistakes.

After clearing his mind and calming himself down, Huo Jiayuan drove home.

While he was with Pei Zhi, he could swipe his credit card freely every month, since Pei Zhi would always have someone else pay it off.

He has people to take care of his food, drink, lodging, and transportation, so why would he be so stubborn and make a fuss?

When Pei Zhi and Fu Shen came out of the office dressed neatly, they saw Qu Miaoyu and Assistant Gao sitting in the waiting area outside.

Pei Zhi asked, "Do you have something to report?"

Qu Miaoyu looked the two of them up and down. "What were you doing inside just now?"

Fu Shen explained, "She had a lot of official business to attend to, so I waited for her while I drank tea."

Qu Miaoyu and Assistant Gao exchanged a glance; they had indeed misunderstood.

They couldn't be blamed; Huo Jiayuan's hasty retreat made them think things through.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Assistant Gao also picked up the thermos.

"Young Master Huo just delivered it."

Pei Zhi took the thermos with some curiosity. "Why didn't you let him in?"

Assistant Gao glanced at Fu Shen subconsciously, seemingly saying nothing, yet also seemingly saying everything.

Pei Zhi glanced at Fu Shen and roughly understood what was going on.

"Does he know Fu Shen is here?"

Pei Zhi was quite surprised that Huo Jiayuan didn't rush in and start crying and making a scene.

Anyway, they quietly put down the soup and left?

Qu Miaoyu responded, "I accidentally let it slip. He stood at the office door for a while, then gave the soup to Assistant Gao and left."

Qu Miaoyu thought of Huo Jiayuan's appearance and felt a little sorry for him.

Pei Zhi looked down at the thermos in her hand, her expression thoughtful.

Fu Shen sighed and asked, "Is it because we can't make plans for dinner today again?"

Before Pei Zhi could answer, Fu Shen said to himself, "Never mind, you can go back first. Let's make another appointment next time."

After the last time, and after a somewhat unpleasant parting with Pei Zhi.

Fu Shen probably understood something; Pei Zhi didn't like people who were assertive in relationships.

I don't like him either; he's aggressive.

Appropriate displays of softness can soften people's hearts.
