Mingyao was very pleased that Ni An understood this principle.

If she had figured it out sooner, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

Ni An was filled with emotion, and the smile on her face was tinged with sadness.

"Sister Su, I'm planning to leave Haidu."

She smiled, pursing her lips. "If I can come back someday, I hope you and President Pei are still very happy."

Mingyao looked at her without saying a word.

Ni An bowed to Ming Yao again and left without looking back.

Life returned to its usual calm, and Mingyao went to work as usual, everything as normal.

However, she always felt like she had forgotten something.

While eating breakfast, Mingyao inexplicably remembered the promise she had made to Su Yao.

Snap—

Mingyao's hand trembled, and her chopsticks fell onto the plate.

"It's over."

Mingyao slapped her thigh in frustration: "I forgot to go see Su Yao!"

Two weeks have passed since the agreed time, and the gift she picked out for Su Yao last time has disappeared.

Mingyao didn't even bother to eat.

"etc."

Pei Siyu called out to her, saying slowly, "I'll go with you."

Today is Saturday, and the mall is unusually crowded.

Pei Siyu pushed the cart while Mingyao stood in front of the shelf, carefully selecting art supplies.

"Mr. Pei, would you like to buy another outlining pen?" Mingyao held up different sizes of watercolor pens in front of Pei Siyu.

Pei Siyu hummed in agreement and then selected a few more introductory books on watercolor painting.

Mingyao asked anxiously, "President Pei, will Su Yao be angry with me?"

"Oh dear, how could I forget such an important thing as promising him?"

Pei Siyu said seriously, "You didn't forget on purpose, did you? Wasn't there an accident?"

Mingyao sighed, "I hope so."

After the fire, she spent more than a week in the hospital.

I don't know if Su Yao can understand.

"Sir, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers?"

Mingyao turned around and saw that Pei Siyu was being stopped by an old lady selling flowers while pushing his cart.

The woman's face was full of smiles as she kept introducing the fresh bouquets to Pei Siyu.

Mingyao's eyes widened, and she quickly ran forward to stand between the old lady and Pei Siyu.

"Auntie, my husband is allergic to pollen."

She pushed Pei Siyu forward, her voice bulging as she said, "President Pei, are you trying to scare me to death?"

She was somewhat annoyed by his lack of self-control: "Knowing he's allergic to pollen, he just stood there like an idiot."

Mingyao rambled on for a few minutes, then looked up when Pei Siyu didn't reply.

Pei Siyu was staring at her with deep, unfathomable eyes, his dark pupils shooting out a sharp light, as if he would pierce through her at any moment.

Mingyao quickly withdrew her hand, and asked with an uneasy smile, "President Pei, what's wrong?"

Pei Siyu squinted, his gaze burning as he stared at Mingyao.

When she met his gaze, Mingyao's heart skipped a beat.

She avoided Pei Siyu's intense gaze, turned her head away, and quickly changed the subject: "It's getting late, Mr. Pei, let's go."

Suddenly, her wrist tightened.

Mingyao's eyes widened, and she had just taken a step when Pei Siyu forcefully pulled her back.

Warm breath brushed against my cheek, sending shivers down my spine, like an electric current running through my body.

The two were only a fist's distance apart, and Mingyao's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her chest.

"President Pei, what's wrong?"

Pei Siyu's eyes were full of inquiry, and Mingyao felt a chill in her heart.

She recalled her expression and conversation with Pei Siyu just now, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Su Xueya, how did you know I'm allergic to pollen?"

Since they got married, he has never mentioned pollen allergy to Mingyao.

Apart from his special assistant, no one else knew that he had a mild pollen allergy.

Mingyao choked up, and stammered, "I...I noticed that President Pei's expression was a bit off just now."

She forced a smile and continued, "I suspect it's a pollen allergy."

Pei Siyu stared at Mingyao for a long time, clearly not believing her excuse.

Mingyao was on the verge of tears. In her previous life, she had specially prepared a bouquet of flowers for Pei Siyu on Valentine's Day, and was scolded by Aunt Wu.

She never imagined that she would be suspected by Pei Siyu because of this.

"President Pei, it's getting late, let's go quickly."

Mingyao walked forward, but Pei Siyu remained rooted to the spot and would pull her back.

Mingyao looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"President Pei, what's wrong?"

Pei Siyu increased the pressure on his hand, and Mingyao was terrified, completely unaware of what he was thinking.

She blinked her big eyes, putting on an innocent and aggrieved expression.

"President Pei, it's scary when you don't speak."

Are you planning to keep calling me that?

Pei Siyu said abruptly.

Mingyao was completely confused: "Haven't I always called you President Pei?"

Pei Siyu was not satisfied with this answer. He tightened his grip, squeezing Mingyao's wrist so hard it felt like it was about to break.

Mingyao cried out in pain, drawing strange looks from passersby.

Mingyao bit her lower lip, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately.

She looked at Pei Siyu with a puzzled expression and whispered, "Mr. Pei, let's talk outside."

"Hmm?" Pei Siyu was not worried about becoming the target of public criticism, but instead smiled and pulled her into his arms.

Mingyao was so frightened that her eyes widened like saucers, and she even forgot to pretend.

Looking at the people coming and going, she was both surprised and frightened: "President Pei, what's going on?"

Why is Pei Siyu acting so strangely?

"Su Xueya, what is our relationship?"

Mingyao said hesitantly, "Husband and wife relationship."
