The eldest sister-in-law picked vegetables from the garden, washed her hands, and went into the inner room to make a can of milk powder for each of the two children.

"Zhizhi, sit down first. I'll put the two little ones to sleep, then I'll come and chat with you."

Pei Zhi smiled and said, "It's alright, sister-in-law, you go about your business."

The elder sister-in-law took the two children back to the room, and Pei Zhi felt a little bored being alone in the yard.

Since she had gotten up a bit early this morning, Pei Zhi decided to go back to her room for a nap and then have dinner.

Pei Zhi greeted her mother, who told her to go to sleep.

Pei Zhi had been asleep for less than an hour when she heard a commotion downstairs.

Pei Zhi struggled slightly with her head buried in the blanket, but eventually lifted the blanket and got up.

Pei Zhi came downstairs and heard her father talking to someone, his voice sounding somewhat excited.

"Pei Zhi is downstairs, Zhizhi, come quick! This person says he's here to see you."

When Pei's father saw Pei Zhi come downstairs, he looked at her as if she were his savior.

Pei Zhi looked in the direction her father was pointing, her eyes filled with doubt.

Why are you here?

"I've come to find you."

Pei Zhi changed her question, "I'm asking you, how did you find this place?"

Pei Zhi remembered that she had never told Fang Jun which village her home was in.

She didn't tell Fang Jun that she had returned to the village today.

How did Fang Jun find out that she had returned to the village and come looking for her?

“I went to your company, and they said you're not coming to work today.”

"I asked around to find out which village you live in."

Fang Jun chuckled and said, "I just came here to try my luck, and I didn't expect to actually run into you. Don't you think we're destined to meet?"

When Pei's father saw the man chatting and laughing with his daughter, he knew that he had misunderstood.

"Zhizhi, you two really know each other?"

Before Pei Zhi could speak, Fang Jun interjected, "Let's get to know each other, Uncle. I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Pei Zhi pursed her lips, put one hand on her hip in frustration, but didn't say anything more.

"Zhizhi, really, why didn't you tell me your friend was coming?"

Pei's father complained, "I thought it was some kind of swindler."

"Uncle, can you accept what I brought now?"

Mr. Pei declined, saying, "You're Zhizhi's friend. You're just coming to our house for a casual meal. There's no reason for you to bring anything."

"Take all these things with you after you finish eating."

Fang Jun said unhappily, "Uncle, this is my first time visiting, how can I come empty-handed?"

"These things are not worth much money. It's our first time meeting, so please allow me to be polite. Next time I come, I will come empty-handed."

Since things had come to this point, Pei's father couldn't refuse any longer and could only look at Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi reached out and pulled Fang Jun into the courtyard.

Pei Zhi's expression was unfriendly: "What do you want by coming over here?"

Pei Zhi invited a local mobile phone dealer to dinner, and Fang Jun also came to join in the fun.

After that, Fang Jun seemed to become interested in Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi wasn't interested in Fang Jun, but there was no need to make another enemy in business.

Pei Zhi didn't refuse too rudely, but Fang Jun kept asking her out.

Pei Zhi didn't go. She thought that by giving Fang Jun the cold shoulder a few times, she would make him back down.

Pei Zhi never expected that Fang Jun would not only not back down, but would also shamelessly take a big step forward.

"I wanted to ask you out for dinner," Fang Jun said innocently. "You said you were busy, so I had to come to you."

Pei Zhi stared at Fang Jun, wondering if she had been too subtle in her expression.

Or is Fang Jun pretending to be stupid all along?

Fang Jun made many invitations, but Pei Zhi never went.

They're either busy, don't have time, or have something to do.

Using such a flimsy excuse to fob off Fang Jun, Fang Jun actually followed him all the way to the village.

Pei Zhi was still curious: "How did you find your way to the village?"

Only a handful of people knew Pei Zhi's exact address.

At the company, Cheng Xuelin would never tell Fang Jun his address.

“Your documents have an address on them. You are the legal representative of the company. Knowing the specific address, you drove all the way here.”

"I asked a few people along the way, and a kind uncle led my car directly to your door. I gave him two packs of cigarettes as a thank you."

Pei Zhi sighed in frustration, and in the end, all she could do was gently pat her forehead with the back of her hand.

There's something I might not have made clear to you.

"We're not a good match, I'm not attracted to you."

Fang Jun was rejected by Pei Zhi, but he wasn't sad at all.

Fang Junyou isn't really stupid; he's made so many appointments with Pei Zhi.

Flowers and a personal invitation.

Fang Jun readily replied, "It's nothing."

"You think we're not a good match now, and you don't like me, but what if one day you suddenly think I'm not so bad?"

"Anyway, you're not married yet, so I can afford to wait."

Pei Zhi felt a little stifled. "You probably don't know."

"Actually, I have some romantic history."

Fang Jun understood and said, "That's normal."

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"And most importantly, after getting to know you, I'll find that your appearance is just one of your many strengths."

"You are very decisive, yet bold and meticulous, and very intelligent."

"A woman as outstanding as you would be pursued by any man who isn't blind."

Despite Fang Jun praising Pei Zhi highly.

But Pei Zhi still had to reject Fang Jun; she really didn't like Fang Jun's type.

It's not that Fang Jun isn't handsome.

Fang Jun is not bad-looking; Pei Zhi just dislikes his behavior.

Especially considering Fang Jun's actions today, Pei Zhi considers him a death sentence.

Fang Jun can give Pei Zhi a surprise, but it depends on their status.

If Fang Jun is Pei Zhi's boyfriend, why would he travel such a long way to come here and bring so many gifts?

Pei Zhi might think that Fang Jun is quite romantic.

The problem is that Pei Zhi and Fang Jun are not familiar with each other at all.

They had only met twice, and the only time they had eaten together was with a distributor.

"My romantic history is richer than you can imagine."

Fang Jun scrutinized Pei Zhi's appearance. "You've had a child?"

Pei Zhi shook her head, "No, not at all."

Fang Jun pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "So, you've been someone's mistress?"

Pei Zhi immediately denied it, "Of course not."

There will only be someone who becomes Pei Zhi's mistress.

No matter what, Pei Zhi would never break up someone else's marriage or become someone's mistress.

"I've never been a mistress, nor have I ever had children."

Fang Jun scoffed, "If you don't have any of those, how rich can your romantic history be?"

Pei Zhi was in a dilemma, wondering how to explain it to Fang Jun, when she heard a commotion coming from outside the courtyard. Perfect timing!
