She was so focused on taking care of Wei Chuan that she completely forgot about Pei Siyu!

Wu Ma will definitely tell Pei Siyu that he didn't go home last night.

Mingyao pressed the answer button tremblingly, and Pei Siyu's cold, icy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Su Xueya, where are you!"

Each word was deliberate and piercing, each one cutting to the heart.

Mingyao forced a smile, "I'm on my way to the company, I'll be there in ten minutes."

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then his voice turned even colder: "Why didn't you come home last night?"

"Where did you go? Who were you with?"

A barrage of questions left Mingyao stammering, unsure how to answer.

She gripped her phone tightly and said nervously, "Honey, I'll explain to you in person."

After hanging up the phone, Mingyao's heart was pounding.

Ten minutes is neither fast nor slow, but for Mingyao it was just a blink of an eye.

She seemed to be in a daze, and suddenly she was at the company entrance.

Mingyao saw Pei Siyu standing at the company gate, and a chill ran down her spine.

She wanted to linger in the car for a while longer, but Pei Siyu, with a dark expression, strode over.

Mingyao felt a siren blaring in her mind and panicked as she jumped out of the car.

She bumped into Pei Siyu's chest, looked up at him with an embarrassed smile.

"Honey~"

Pei Siyu's eyes were half-closed, and the cold glint in his eyes was penetrating, as if he wanted to see through Mingyao's thoughts.

Mingyao instinctively avoided his sharp gaze and tried her best to force a smile.

Why didn't you go home last night?

"Um...I..."

Pei Siyu noticed Mingyao's down jacket, and his gaze turned even colder.

"Hehe, even the clothes are different from yesterday."

"Su Xueya, what exactly were you doing last night?!"

He asked through gritted teeth, each word he uttered chillingly cold.

Mingyao shivered and quickly took out the clothing tag.

"These are the clothes I bought on the street."

My clothes were dirty yesterday.

Pei Siyu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and Mingyao shivered, her face turning a shade paler.

Her hands, holding the price tag, hung awkwardly at her sides.

"Su! Xue! Ya!"

Pei Siyu took a step closer, and Mingyao's eyes widened in fright.

He retorted angrily, "What's wrong with me that makes you want to spend the night with another man?"

"ah?"

Mingyao's brain went blank, and she didn't react for a moment.

She looked at Pei Siyu suspiciously, then asked with an awkward smile, "Honey, what do you mean, spending the night with another man?"

Pei Siyu's face was as dark as iron, and the chill emanating from him caused the surrounding temperature to plummet to below zero.

"Still Pretending to Be Fooled"

"If you weren't spending the night with another man, why didn't you go home?"

Mingyao: "???"

"How could I possibly spend the night with another man? You've misunderstood."

Pei Siyu's lips twitched, and his smile became even more mocking.

He took out his phone, and shoved a magnified photo on the screen right in front of Mingyao's eyes.

"What's this?"

In the photo, Mingyao is carrying Wei Chuan into the hotel.

There are a few more photos of Mingyao hurriedly buying new clothes.

Mingyao: "..."

She forced a smile as she looked at Pei Siyu.

There really is nothing that can be hidden from her.

She was still racking her brains trying to hide it, but little did she know that Pei Siyu had already investigated and found out.

Mingyao cleared her throat and explained, "I found the person on my back by the roadside. He was injured, so I took him to the nearest hotel first."

"Besides, everything I bought afterward was medical supplies. What does that prove?"

Pei Siyu's face darkened further. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, "Su Xueya, are you still trying to deny it?"

"You have such a big heart?"

"You'd pick up any man you see on the street?"

Aren't you afraid the other person is a bad person?

His eyes, blazing with fury, were so fierce they seemed capable of devouring someone. Mingyao composed herself, blinked, and looked at Pei Siyu with a pitiful expression.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes blurry with tears, and tugged at the corner of Pei Siyu's sleeve.

"Honey~"

"Please don't be angry, I'm so scared."

"I... had no choice but to take him to the hotel."

Pei Siyu frowned slightly, feeling a pang of pity upon seeing the tears on Mingyao's face.

His tone softened slightly as he questioned, "Why didn't you take him to the hospital?"

Mingyao found that playing the victim worked, and said pitifully, "He told me to find a hotel nearby, and said that his injury was not serious and that he didn't need to go to the hospital."

"I didn't go home yesterday because I was too tired; I fell asleep in a chair at the hotel,"

"When I woke up, the person I saved was already gone."

She grabbed Pei Siyu's hand and shook it, saying aggrievedly, "Honey, I didn't mean to not go back."

"Besides, you're the only one in my heart, how could I possibly have a one-night stand with another man?"

"Besides, which man in Haidu is more outstanding than you?"

"I'll look for someone else, unless I'm blind."

Pei Siyu's eyes turned cold, and Mingyao quickly changed her tune: "Even if I'm blind, I wouldn't look for other men!"

His expression softened.

Mingyao smiled shyly and affectionately took Pei Siyu's arm.

"Honey, you're still the best to me!"

"You don't need to work today, go home and rest."

Mingyao insisted, "No, how can we let my husband fight this battle alone?"

"It's okay, I can still work."

Mingyao looked intently into Pei Siyu's eyes.
