Xu Xingran gave birth to a boy for Pei Zhi, and Xu Xingran was never very happy about it.

He believed that he should give Pei Zhisheng a daughter.

With such a large business in Pei Zhi's family, it would definitely not be possible without a daughter.

Pei Zhi was quite decisive; as soon as the baby was born, she arranged everything, including a postpartum nanny and a babysitter, so Xu Xingran didn't have to worry about preparing snacks.

Xu Xingran knew that Pei Zhi was divorced and that he and Pei Zhi had a child together, so he hinted at it to Pei Zhi several times.

When will they get their marriage certificate?

Pei Zhi used the excuse that she hadn't announced her divorce from Huo Jiayuan to delay Xu Xingran for two years.

In the past two years, Pei's father has moved into a villa.

The child doesn't need Pei's father to take care of him; it's just that Pei's father wants to see the child more often.

As for Xu Xingran, Pei Zhi sent her abroad to study.

Pei Zhi gave Xu Xingran a perfunctory answer, saying that Xu Xingran came from a very humble background and had no outstanding academic achievements.

If Xu Xingran wants to marry her, he needs to have something impressive to offer.

Xu Xingran understood the gap between herself and Pei Zhi, and willingly went abroad.

The child naturally stayed with Pei Zhi, while Xu Xingran went abroad, and naturally had less contact with the child.

Xu Xingran spent several years abroad, which broadened her knowledge and broadened her horizons.

He roughly realized that Pei Zhi wouldn't marry him.

Xu Xingran was initially somewhat unwilling, but she returned to China several times.

Seeing that Pei Zhi got along well with the children, Pei Zhi did not completely hand the children over to the servants.

She doesn't necessarily do everything herself, but at least the children are very close to her.

As for Xu Xingran himself, Pei Zhi has never treated him badly over the years.

While Xu Xingran pursued his studies, Pei Zhi never let him worry about money.

With this in mind, Xu Xingran began to understand things a little better.

Whether he marries Pei Zhi or not doesn't seem to matter that much anymore.

Although he spends most of his time abroad and has little opportunity to spend time with his children.

The child was well-mannered, and Pei Zhi made the child call him father, without hiding his identity from the child.

Pei Zhi never remarried and made her child call someone else "Dad".

If he insists on getting a formal title and angers Pei Zhi, it won't do him any good.

Over time, Xu Xingran continued her studies abroad, spending most of her time overseas except for returning home a few times a year to see her child.

Pei Zhi is busy with work and takes care of the children on weekdays.

Fu Shen, on the other hand, has been determined to rise to power all these years.

He cared for Pei Zhi's child even more than Pei Zhi herself.

Unfortunately, Pei Zhi had already decided that Fu Shen was not suitable for marriage.

Playing around is fine, but marriage is out of the question. Pei Zhi can't stand too much control.

In the end, Pei Zhi died young at the age of fifty.

Pei Zhi has made arrangements for her funeral, and the company has been handed over to her son.

With nothing else to attend to, Pei Zhi naturally didn't want to waste time in this world.

After Pei Zhi's death, reporters extensively reported on her life.

What business genius, what infatuated CEO?

Throughout her life, apart from her marriage to Huo Jiayuan, Pei Zhi never married again.

Pei Zhi watched from the void as Fu Shen wept bitterly at her own funeral.

There were also Huo Jiayuan and Xu Xingran who rushed back to pay their respects to her.

They are getting old, but you can still tell from their appearance how handsome they were when they were young.

Of course, besides these people, some of Pei Zhi's lovers over the years also came to pay their respects to her.

Although Pei Zhi has not remarried since her divorce from Huo Jiayuan.

But she didn't neglect herself either, and there was always a constant stream of men around her.

Pei Zhi took one last look at the child she had raised with her own hands, and left this world without any regrets.

[System, have I completed all my tasks?]

Pei Zhi remembered that this should be the last world.

Normally, if she successfully salvages all her worlds, she can retire smoothly, right?

[Please wait, the system is verifying.]

Pei Zhi has already begun to imagine her future retirement life.

There's no longer any pressure from tasks, and there's endless money to spend. You can do whatever you want—it couldn't be more free.

Just as Pei Zhi was imagining her bright future, the system returned.

[The host still needs to complete one more task in order to successfully retire.]

【What? 】

Pei Zhi was shocked. "That's not what you said before!"

Pei Zhi was furious. The system had said that as long as she repaired these worlds, she could retire smoothly, right?

System explanation: [These worlds are all missions the host has completed before; the system cannot request mission completion from the main god.]

Pei Zhi realized that these worlds were all worlds she had lived in before.

Since the task has already been submitted as completed, it cannot be submitted a second time.

Pei Zhi was also getting a little anxious. "What should I do now?"

[The host only needs to accept a new task, and once completed, can submit the application.]

Pei Zhi understood what the system meant; it was simply asking her to do one more task, which wasn't a big problem.

Pei Zhi readily agreed, "Okay, then find the panel, I'll just accept a quest."

[Sorry, the host's current identity is not that of a mission taker for the Quick Transmigration Bureau, therefore, they cannot actively select missions.]

【What's the meaning? 】

The system's mechanical voice explained, "[The host has completed retirement procedures, but is still required to complete missions, making them essentially an unregistered individual.]"
