After Du Lei found out that Pei Zhi had lied to him, he immediately wanted to go find Pei Zhi.

Du Lei had just reported to the army and had a lot to do every day, with no holidays.

Sure enough, as soon as he got a day off today, Du Lei came to settle scores with Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi retorted angrily, "Are you out of your mind? Why do you keep telling me to get a divorce?"

Du Lei was emboldened: "Pei Zhi, you were the one who took the initiative to sleep with me back then."

One sentence instantly silenced Pei Zhi.

"So what do you want?"

"Divorce your husband immediately, and I'll marry you."

Pei Zhi didn't even think about it, "Impossible."

"Just because your man is a college student? Then I'll transfer to a military academy right now."

"No, that won't work."

Pei Zhi's marriage to Jiang Qingyuan is a good one, and Jiang Qingyuan is a family-oriented man.

At home, Jiang Qingyuan took care of all the housework.

She cooks, washes clothes, makes the bed, sweeps the floor, and even boils water for Pei Zhi to wash her feet and take a bath every day.

In his spare time, he would often help Pei Zhi wash her hair and give her a massage.

He has a great personality, unlike Du Lei who is so stubborn and like a big rock.

Unlike Cheng Xuelin, he's not a busybody.

Pei Zhi is quite satisfied with the man she has chosen and doesn't want to change him for the time being.

Du Lei was somewhat frustrated: "Is he really that good?"

He's known Pei Zhi for so long, yet he's no match for Jiang Qingyuan?

"Am I not better to you than he is? If you want my life, I'll give it to you."

"Stop." Pei Zhi really couldn't stand it anymore. "That's disgusting."

"Let me also tell you my stance: I don't plan to get a divorce; it doesn't look good on my reputation."

Du Lei was so angry at Pei Zhi that he laughed. "Then what did you mean by sleeping with me before? Were you playing with me?"

Du Lei suddenly raised his voice, almost scaring Pei Zhi to death.

Pei Zhi quickly covered Du Lei's mouth, "Are you trying to die? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"What's wrong? You dare to do it, but not to admit it?"

Du Lei grabbed Pei Zhi's hand and said, "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll go to your school tomorrow and shout, so everyone knows about this. I'll see if your man will divorce you then."

After a pause, Du Lei added, "You're not pregnant, so you can't use a child to threaten me."

Back in the village, Du Lei wanted to take Pei Zhi to Pei's house.

When Pei Zhi told Du Lei that she was pregnant, Du Lei softened his heart.

Now that he knows Pei Zhi lied to him, Du Lei definitely can't let it go so easily.

Pei Zhi really wanted to slap her past self.

How could she not be able to restrain herself?

Sigh, it's a story full of bitter tears.

During the Chinese New Year, Pei Zhi was assigned by her mother to deliver New Year's goods.

Then, Pei Zhi saw Du Lei, shirtless, who was about to change his clothes.

Pei Zhi had been a vegetarian for three or four years at that time, and when she suddenly saw something so fierce, she was like a weasel seeing a chicken.

I was really craving it at the time, and I didn't think too much about it.

Pei Zhi said helplessly, "Let's compromise. Just don't make me get a divorce. I'll listen to you on everything else."

You have to clean up the mess you made yourself.

"Then I'll call you out during my holidays, and you'll have to come out."

They're both adults, and they both knew perfectly well what Du Lei meant by those words.

Moreover, Du Lei's gaze was too aggressive.

Having no other choice, Pei Zhi had to agree.

Du Lei took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Pei Zhi.

"A gift for getting into university."

Pei Zhi took the box and opened it; inside was a watch.

This brand is very popular in Hong Kong now, but less so in mainland China, and it's probably quite expensive, costing at least several hundred dollars.

What are you going to do with this money?

Du Lei said pragmatically, "If I see something nice, I want to buy it for you."

Du Lei stayed in the shop for almost an entire afternoon. As night fell outside, Pei Zhi immediately urged Du Lei to leave.

It would be troublesome if the two bumped into each other after Jiang Qingyuan finished class.

Du Lei was quite decisive. Anyway, he and Pei Zhi had already started talking, so there was no need to annoy Pei Zhi.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, no sooner had Du Lei left than Jiang Qingyuan arrived at the store carrying books and a bag of groceries.

Pei Zhi glanced through the list: "Why did you buy so many groceries?"

"Since my elder brother and sister-in-law are coming, let's go back and cook first."

The two closed the shop and headed towards their rented house.

When I was renting a place, the first thing I considered was the distance; it had to be a five or six-minute walk.

Before the start of the school year, Pei Zhi and Pei Wang came over to tidy up and bought a lot of things, including pots, pans, and other utensils.

As soon as Jiang Qingyuan entered the house, he rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. He also washed an apple for Pei Zhi so she could rest.

Pei Zhi leaned against the kitchen threshold and watched Jiang Qingyuan wash his hands, chop and wash vegetables. His movements were quick and efficient; he was truly a domestic husband.

Perhaps it's because Jiang Qingyuan's parents passed away, and Jiang Qingyuan is very good at cooking; his dishes are both beautiful and delicious.

Jiang Qingyuan was also very observant. After having a few meals with Pei Zhi, he knew what Pei Zhi liked and disliked to eat.

Pei Zhi's eyes were full of smiles; she had never been wrong in choosing a husband.

Pei Wang's return was quite timely; Jiang Qingyuan had just finished preparing the dishes when Pei Wang arrived with his elder brother and sister-in-law.

There were three people, each carrying large and small bags.

"Why did you bring so much stuff?" Pei Zhi stepped forward and took the things from her sister-in-law's hands.

"Mom practically emptied the whole house; it was exhausting."

Pei Zhi looked around and saw that there was wine, rice, noodles, vegetables, melons, and even bedding.

The older brother chuckled and said, "Bring more, so we don't have to spend money to buy more."
