Pei Siyu replied again: "This summer, on your birthday."

These few words were like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Mingyao stood there dumbfounded, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Pei Siyu.

When exactly did he find out his true identity?

In an instant, countless thoughts flooded her mind, and Mingyao could no longer remain calm.

Thunderous applause erupted, but Mingyao couldn't hear a thing.

She only had eyes for Pei Siyu.

Amidst everyone's congratulations, Qin Jiaojiao clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment.

She had known Pei Siyu for so many years and had never seen any woman get close to him.

Now, Pei Siyu has actually taken the initiative to accept Mingyao.

Furthermore, Pei Siyu's heart and eyes are filled with Mingyao.

Qin Jiaojiao was jealous.

She has liked Pei Siyu since she was a child.

Because of Pei Siyu's eccentric personality, she could only approach him cautiously.

She couldn't understand it.

She clearly prefers Pei Siyu, so why is Mingyao standing next to him?

Qin Jiaojiao glared menacingly at Ming Yao, who was standing next to Pei Siyu.

At that moment, Wei Ning's voice came from behind.

Don't be sad.

"Relationships should be allowed to develop naturally."

Qin Jiaojiao looked at Wei Ning, managing to force a smile.

Wei Ning looked at her with heartache: "I know how much you're suffering inside."

"If you're unhappy, why don't you come over there and have a drink with me?"

Qin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then followed Wei Ning out of the crowd.

Even after the banquet ended, Mingyao was still in a daze.

Even after returning to the Pei family mansion, she could not shake off the persistent buzzing sound.

She restrained her emotions and tried her best to calm herself down.

But her thoughts were still a jumbled mess.

When exactly did Pei Siyu discover her true identity?

"I'm home."

Pei Siyu's voice exploded in her ears, and Mingyao stared at him blankly.

Pei Siyu got out of the car first, extended his hand, and his eyes were always smiling.

Mingyao bit her lower lip and tentatively placed her hand in his hot palm.

He gripped her tightly and pulled Mingyao out of the car.

Mingyao dared not meet his eyes; the moment their eyes met, she immediately lowered them to look away.

"I'm going back to rest now."

She turned to run back to her room, but her wrist suddenly tightened.

The scorching heat felt like a furnace fire, threatening to melt her.

Mingyao's mind went blank.

This is the day she fears most.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

What should Ming Suqin do?

Will Pei Siyu ask her for a divorce?

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and Mingyao wished she could find a place to hide immediately.

"Mingyao".

This was the first time he had called out that name.

Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head even further.

After a moment of silence, she asked in a barely audible voice, "When did you find out?"

Pei Siyu hugged Mingyao from behind and whispered, "I knew it all along."

"My guess was further confirmed when I was in Qingcheng."

Pei Siyu's embrace was exceptionally domineering, almost suffocating Mingyao.

She bit her lower lip, surprised and delighted by Pei Siyu's reaction.

"I'm sorry, I've been lying to you all along."

"But you..."

She paused, then said with difficulty, "Don't you hate the feeling of being deceived?"

Why aren't you angry?

She thought Pei Siyu would be furious and divorce her in a fit of anger.

Pei Siyu, however, remained indifferent, and even seemed more possessive of her.

Didn't I say that?

Pei Siyu said softly, "You can lie to me."

"The only person I can accept being deceived is you."

Mingyao lost her ability to think, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She nestled in Pei Siyu's arms, apologizing repeatedly.

"I didn't do this on purpose. I didn't mean to lie to you."

"sorry."

Pei Siyu's lack of anger only made Mingyao feel more guilty.

Even if he gets angry, even if he ignores her.

But Pei Siyu remained as gentle as ever.

Pei Siyu wiped away Mingyao's tears: "I know why you did that."

"Don't be afraid."

"I will help you."

Mingyao asked through tears, "Really?"

"Um."

Pei Siyu hugged Mingyao tightly: "Everything I said to you before was from the bottom of my heart."

"Your business is my business."

"I will find a way to rescue Mom."

Mingyao was overjoyed.

If she had known that Pei Siyu could accept her, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hide it.

After calming down, Mingyao wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

"Pei Siyu, I have some news to tell you now."

"You need to calm down."

She took a deep breath and solemnly told Pei Siyu about her pregnancy.

Mingyao was eagerly anticipating Pei Siyu's reaction.

To her surprise, Pei Siyu kept a straight face and didn't show any reaction for a long time.

Mingyao waved her hand in front of his eyes, somewhat disappointed: "Didn't you want a child?"

The next second, Pei Siyu pulled her into his arms.

Why are you only telling me now?

His voice was almost trembling.

Mingyao said apologetically, "There were too many uncertainties before."

“I’m afraid that after you find out I lied to you, you will hate me and want to divorce me.”

“Without you, Su Qiqiang would have killed my mother without hesitation.”

"I can't afford to gamble..."

"So I asked the doctor to help me conceal the test results."
