Mingyao said helplessly, "President Pei, that's just the kind of person I am."

"You're lying to me."

Meeting Pei Siyu's burning gaze, Mingyao felt a little guilty.

She avoided eye contact and said, feigning composure, "Why would I lie to you?"

"Mr. Pei, you're really drunk."

Mingyao thoughtfully said, "I'll have the kitchen make some hangover soup."

She tried to pull her hand away, but Pei Siyu gripped it even tighter.

Mingyao sighed and coaxed Pei Siyu like she was comforting a child: "President Pei, can you let me go first?"

Pei Siyu not only didn't let go, but instead increased his strength, pulling Mingyao into his arms.

Mingyao stared wide-eyed as she unexpectedly fell into Pei Siyu's arms.

The powerful heartbeats pounded in her ears like drumbeats, and Mingyao's breathing became erratic.

She looked up and met Pei Siyu's deep, black-hole-like eyes.

If she's not careful, she'll be drawn into those eyes and become hopelessly addicted.

Hot breath brushed against my cheeks like feathers, sending shivers down my spine, like an electric current coursing through my body.

"President Pei."

Mingyao's voice trembled, and she looked terrified.

Pei Siyu leaned close to Mingyao's ear, his voice becoming even hoarser: "I told you not to call me President Pei."

Mingyao was startled when she suddenly felt something warm against her neck, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

“Pei…”

He applied a little force, and Mingyao twitched in pain.

Is this man born in the Year of the Dog?

She immediately changed her mind: "Honey, let's go back to the room first."

"This is not a suitable place."

Mingyao's voice was so soft and weak that it unknowingly ignited Pei Siyu's desire.

The man's hot body and the sound of him swallowing sent shivers down Mingyao's spine.

She shivered, her face turning deathly pale.

"Honey, the nanny is still downstairs."

Pei Siyu's gaze was intense as he stared intently at Ming Yao, as if he wanted to melt her away.

Before Mingyao could say anything more, his aggressive kiss followed.

Mingyao tried to struggle, but Pei Siyu held the back of her head down.

She was like a catfish on a chopping board, subjected to all kinds of bullying.

Mingyao kept patting Pei Siyu's chest, trying to calm him down.

Her actions were like a cat's paw scratching an itch to Pei Siyu; they had no effect whatsoever.

Pei Siyu only let Mingyao go when she had difficulty breathing and her head became dizzy.

Mingyao covered her mouth and immediately pushed Pei Siyu away.

"I'm going to find Aunt Wu."

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Wu Ma standing not far away, staring at her and Pei Siyu.

Mingyao's mind went completely blank, and she even forgot to breathe.

Meeting her gaze, Wu Ma grinned and said, "I'll do it right now."

Mingyao's face flushed red, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

How is she supposed to face Aunt Wu now?

It's all Pei Siyu's fault!

Pei Siyu looked completely satisfied, and Mingyao glared at him angrily.

Pei Siyu seemed to sense something and looked at her face. Mingyao immediately smiled and said, "Honey, wait a moment. Aunt Wu has already made the antidote soup."

Would you like some water?

Pei Siyu stared at Mingyao and murmured, "You do it."

"Huh?" Mingyao thought she had misheard. "What did you say?"

"You do it."

Mingyao was stunned. "Don't you refuse to eat food cooked by other people?"

Pei Siyu gripped her sleeve tightly, as if he wouldn't let go until she agreed.

Reluctantly, she nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to make it now."

When Mingyao turned around, Pei Siyu looked at her blanket and murmured, "You're different from others."

When Wu Ma learned that Pei Siyu had asked Mingyao to make a hangover soup, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

For so many years, Pei Siyu has only eaten the food prepared by the head chef, but today he actually asked Mingyao to cook for him! This is huge news!

"Miss Su, is this really possible?"

While adding the seasonings, Mingyao said, "There's nothing wrong with it, but just to be on the safe side, let's have the chef make another batch."

If Pei Siyu doesn't drink what she makes, he can drink what the master chef makes.

After making two portions, Mingyao first presented hers to Pei Siyu.

She looked at Pei Siyu nervously, somewhat worried: "Don't force yourself if you can't drink it."

She stirred the hangover soup a couple of times, scooped out a spoonful, and brought it to Pei Siyu's lips.

He took a sip and felt no discomfort.

Mingyao fed him two more spoonfuls, and Pei Siyu obediently drank them.

Mingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Pei Siyu could accept her cooking now.

After drinking the hangover soup, Mingyao and Wu Ma helped Pei Siyu back to his room.

"Get some rest."

After wiping his body, Mingyao exhaled a breath of stale air and tucked the blanket around Pei Siyu.

She looked at Pei Siyu's peaceful sleeping face and thought of the question he had asked.

Her lips parted slightly, many words stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to say them.

In her past life, she never let Pei Siyu know her real name until her death.

I don't know how long I can keep this a secret for the rest of my life...

Mingyao's only fear was Pei Siyu's attitude after he learned the truth.

He is intolerant of injustice and hates betrayal from those around him the most.

Mingyao was lost in thought, and her unease grew stronger.

After settling Pei Siyu in, Mingyao dragged her tired body back to her room.

She took a quick shower and was getting ready for bed when her phone rang.

"Why are you calling all of a sudden?"

Moreover, Pei Siyu's room was only a few steps away from hers, yet he still made a phone call!
