Mingyao: "???"

Pei Siyu: "???"

Pei Zhao looked at Ming Yao again, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, a hint of melancholy on his face.

He looked at Mingyao sadly, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Sister Su, I hope you can be happy."

"But don't let your mind go down a wrong path, because one wrong step can lead to many more."

Mingyao sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She felt that Pei Zhao had misunderstood something.

Moreover, there was a huge misunderstanding.

Before Mingyao could explain, Pei Siyu said calmly, "Pei Zhao, we are already married."

Pei Zhao didn't react at first and asked in confusion, "Uncle, you can't just do whatever you want when you get married."

Pei Zhao choked up as he finished speaking.

He stared wide-eyed at Pei Siyu and Ming Yao, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He even doubted that he had heard correctly.

Pei Zhao stared intently at Pei Siyu, his voice trembling as he asked, "Uncle, what... what are you saying?"

He glanced at Pei Siyu, then at Ming Yao, and forced a smile, saying, "How could you two possibly be married?"

"Uncle, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Mingyao smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Pei, I'm not joking, I really did marry Mr. Pei."

"We are a legally married couple."

Pei Zhao: "..."

He stood there blankly, the light in his eyes suddenly dimming, and his face turning ashen.

He once thought that there was something ambiguous between Pei Siyu and Mingyao.

It turns out that the one who was unclear about the situation was him, while Pei Siyu and Ming Yao had already been married for a long time.

At this moment, countless images flashed through Pei Zhao's mind, which had lost the ability to think.

There are scenes where he complains about Mingyao's husband in front of Pei Siyu, and there are also scenes where he displays his peacock-like plumage in front of Mingyao.

Pei Zhao was utterly devastated and simply could not accept this fact.

"You must be joking with me."

"Why are you two getting married?"

How could my uncle agree to let his wife work as a receptionist at the company?

Pei Siyu gripped Mingyao's hand tightly and said in a serious tone, "I invited you here today to explain this matter."

Mingyao frowned and looked at Pei Zhao apologetically, "Mr. Pei, I'm sorry, please don't be angry."

Who knew Pei Zhao would fall in love with her?

Could Pei Siyu's seeking clarification from him also be a way to prompt Pei Zhao to pull back from the brink?

Mingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Pei Zhao knew her true identity, which saved her from having to worry.

"You two actually got married..."

He, however, was kept in the dark by Mingyao and Pei Siyu and knew nothing about it.

He forced a smile, "Then I wish my brother-in-law and sister-in-law all the best."

He couldn't accept that the woman he had always loved was his youngest daughter's wife.

The truth had an unparalleled impact on Pei Zhao; his emotions surged like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming him.

"Uncle, I'll be going now. I won't disturb you two any longer."

Pei Zhao practically fled in panic.

Looking at his retreating figure, Mingyao felt a pang of guilt.

She tugged at Pei Siyu's hand and whispered, "Mr. Pei, Young Master Pei looks very upset. Should we go after him and comfort him?"

"No need, I will explain it to him."

The dinner for three turned into a date for two. Mingyao took a sip of juice and glanced at Pei Siyu.

Pei Siyu elegantly cut his steak, not even raising his eyelids, and asked indifferently, "Speak."

Mingyao nearly choked, looking at Pei Siyu with suspicion.

Does he know how to read minds?

How did I see right through her thoughts?

Mingyao cleared her throat, scrutinized Pei Siyu's cold face, and tentatively asked, "Does Mr. Pei intend to make our relationship public?"

Today, Pei Siyu brought her to meet Pei Zhao, which was completely beyond Mingyao's expectations.

If it weren't for wanting to make it public, she couldn't imagine why Pei Siyu would do this.

Pei Siyu paused for a moment, staring at Mingyao and asking, "What do you want to say?"

He didn't answer Mingyao's question, but instead asked one in return.

Mingyao pursed her lips, deliberately putting on a troubled expression, "Master Pei, I'm very happy that you're willing to go public."

"but……"

She looked at Pei Siyu and said hesitantly, "I'm still working at the company. If my colleagues knew who I was, they would definitely cause trouble at the company."

"I want to go to work quietly and don't want to attract the attention of my colleagues."

Mingyao said this not only for her own sake, but also to win Pei Siyu's favor.

Pei Siyu is clear about separating public and private matters in his dealings with people, and he never makes exceptions for anyone just because they have a relationship with him.

"Moreover," Mingyao said earnestly, "I don't want to cause trouble for Master Pei."

"If our colleagues find out about our marital relationship, it might cause unnecessary trouble for the company and Mr. Pei."

Pei Siyu's expression was unreadable, and Mingyao couldn't guess what he was thinking either. She just stared at her expectantly and asked pleadingly, "Is it okay?"

Pei Siyu lowered his eyes and carefully cut the last piece of steak.

"eat."

He placed the cut steak in front of Mingyao and then took her untouched steak.

The sudden exchange left Mingyao stunned.

She stared blankly at the steak placed in front of her, feeling as if she were in another world.

Pei Siyu is so considerate.

Mingyao feigned shyness and said, "Thank you, Master Pei."

Meanwhile, in the dark alleyway.

Xia Kexing stared blankly at the flickering streetlights at the end of the alley, her body swaying unsteadily, like a slowly moving zombie.

A chilly autumn wind swept by, and Xia Kexing shivered, her face turning even paler.
