Jealous?

Mingyao doubted her ears and looked at Pei Siyu suspiciously.

Their eyes met, and Pei Siyu leaned in two steps closer, a hint of amusement in his gaze: "Aren't you jealous?"

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

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

She feigned concern and said, "With a husband as charming as him, isn't it natural that he has many women around him?"

Why should I be jealous?

She winked at Pei Siyu, her smile growing even brighter.

Unexpectedly, Pei Siyu's face darkened at a visible speed.

He glared at Mingyao with a sinister look, his lips twitching slightly. "You really are magnanimous."

Mingyao smiled shyly and said, "Husband, this is what I should do."

Pei Siyu's eyes became sharp as knives, as if he were about to devour Mingyao alive in the next second.

Mingyao pouted and silently rolled her eyes.

Wouldn't it be better if she were more generous? She's such a petty person.

After having dinner with Su Yao, Ming Yao and Pei Siyu took little Su Yao back to the Su family home.

Jiang E pulled Su Yao along, looking him up and down, afraid of finding any injuries on him.

The next day.

Mingyao went to work as usual. As soon as she entered the company, her colleagues swarmed around her, staring at her with gossipy eyes.

Mingyao was startled: "Why... are you staring at me with such hungry eyes?"

Her colleagues' eyes gleamed, and they couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Su, when did you and President Pei have a child?"

"child?"

Mingyao looked at her colleague with a puzzled expression and said, "We've only been married a short time and don't have any children yet."

My colleague took out his phone and opened a popular video on a video app.

"Sister Su, just admit it."

Colleagues joked, "Someone's already taken a picture and posted it online, and you're still saying it isn't true?"

Upon closer inspection, Mingyao realized that the family photo in the video was one she, Pei Siyu, and Su Yao had taken yesterday.

The most interesting caption for the picture: The happy married life of the novel's male and female protagonists.

The blogger who posted the video was the photographer who took the photos yesterday; he specializes in taking photos of ordinary people and posting them online.

Mingyao vaguely remembered that when the photographer gave her the photos, he mentioned that they would be posted online. At the time, Mingyao's attention was entirely on Pei Siyu and Su Yao, so she just nodded and agreed.

The video had already garnered over 200,000 likes in just one hour, and the comments section was filled with envious and jealous remarks.

Some netizens recognized Pei Siyu and Ming Yao, remarking on how perfect a couple they were.

Not only the photos and videos released by the photographer, but also the photos and videos taken by Mingyao and Pei Siyu when they took Su Yao to the aquarium.

Scrolling down, the next few posts were all about her, Pei Siyu, and Su Yao.

"Sister Su, your child with President Pei is already so big, why didn't you tell everyone?"

Mingyao awkwardly explained, "Everyone has really misunderstood."

“That child is my half-brother…so he looks a bit like me.”

Her colleagues were clearly disappointed and urged Mingyao and Pei Siyu to have a baby soon.

Mingyao: "???"

Is this about having a baby?

Mingyao stood at the front desk in a daze, her thoughts wandering.

How is she going to explain this to Pei Siyu?

Prior to this, Pei Siyu had always kept the matter very secret.

He dislikes excessive exposure of his private life in front of the media and the public, and he doesn't even show his face in media interviews.

Now, because of her, the internet is flooded with stories about her "happy life" with Pei Siyu.

After much deliberation, Mingyao decided to personally go to Pei Siyu to explain the situation and, while she was at it, contact the photographer to delete the video.

There was a meeting in the afternoon, so Pei Siyu rushed to the company before starting work.

Mingyao stood in front of the office door, took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Come in." She pushed the door open a crack, and a breeze carrying the scent of mint blew against her. Mingyao jumped and whispered, "President Pei, it's me."

Pei Siyu looked up, his gaze deep as he looked at Mingyao. "What's wrong?"

He put down the documents in his hand and looked at Mingyao with a half-smile.

Mingyao cleared her throat, looked at Pei Siyu with a wronged expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "President Pei,"

She had barely uttered two words when Pei Siyu's piercing gaze swept over her.

Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and she explained with an awkward smile, "At the company, it's best to be a little more discreet."

Pei Siyu remained expressionless, but the chill in his eyes made Mingyao feel the temperature in the office drop sharply.

I never knew Pei Siyu was so wild.

The company even required her to call him "husband"...

"Husband." Mingyao clenched her fist, feeling so mushy that she wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Pei Siyu looked thoroughly enjoying himself. Mingyao glared at him disapprovingly before saying, "There are photos of us and Yaoyao circulating online right now."

"Yesterday I didn't listen to the photographer properly and accidentally agreed."

"I will contact the photographer immediately to delete it."

She looked up again and found Pei Siyu staring intently at her.

Mingyao felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart leaped into her throat.

Is Pei Siyu angry?

She quickly said, "I'll find a way to get rid of all the hype right away!"

"Why?" Pei Siyu suddenly asked.

This left Mingyao bewildered. "President Pei probably doesn't like his private life being exposed. I was wrong about this."

"sorry."

She stared at her toes, like a child who had done something wrong.

Pei Siyu did not answer immediately, but stood up and walked towards her without saying a word.

As the footsteps drew closer, Mingyao's heart pounded so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest.

Good heavens, just how angry did Pei Siyu get?

Mingyao was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with it.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my chin, and then I tilted my head back.

She stared wide-eyed at Pei Siyu.

Mingyao's heart pounded like a drum, so much so that her gaze towards Pei Siyu held a hint of fear.

Are you afraid of me?

His hawk-like eyes were sharp, as if they could see through all of Mingyao's thoughts.

Mingyao pursed her lips tightly, not daring to breathe.

She was terrified inside, but forced a smile and shook her head, asking, "Why am I afraid?"

Mingyao wanted to cry but had no tears.

He always has a stern face, and his eyes can kill at any moment. How could anyone not be afraid?

Pei Siyu gripped Mingyao's chin, a hint of anger in his eyes: "You're lying."

"I'm really not scared." Mingyao panicked and stammered as she explained, her expression looking even more aggrieved.

"Then why did you want to delete the photos?"

Mingyao had just prepared her apology when she heard Pei Siyu's words and was completely stunned.

She stared at the man in front of her in astonishment, her mouth slightly agape, unable to utter a single word.

Pei Siyu's eyes turned dangerous, and his exquisitely handsome face suddenly magnified several times.

He stared at Mingyao and asked coldly, "Su Xueya, do you really not want others to know about our relationship?"

Mingyao: "???"

No, something's wrong!
