Zhou Yuxiang kept rubbing against Xiang Pengfei, but Xiang Pengfei suddenly pushed her away and said, "Yuxiang, don't do this. I married you not to possess you, but to be with you forever, you know?"

"But Pengfei, I don't have a household registration certificate, so I can't marry you. Also, my brother wants to introduce me to a boyfriend. I'm scared. I'm scared he'll break us up. You know his capabilities; he'll keep his word!"

"It's alright, don't be afraid. We can wait a little longer. If it really doesn't work out, I can give him a line. To avoid implicating us, I can just sell the line to him!"

"It's just that this is too unfair to you. My brother is forcing you to do things you don't like. Don't worry, after we get our marriage certificate, I will cut ties with him. In my heart, there is only our little family!"

Xiang Pengfei found Zhou Yuxiang's words rather strange, but he didn't dwell on them and simply nodded, saying, "Okay, okay! I promise you!"

Zhou Yuxiang then tried to get closer to Xiang Pengfei, but Xiang Pengfei said, "Yuxiang, don't be impulsive. The rain has stopped. Change your clothes, and I'll take you for a drive outside!"

Zhou Yuxiang then stopped crying and smiled, saying, "Okay! The air is freshest right after the rain! I'll go change into dry clothes!"

After watching Zhou Yuxiang walk out of his office, he changed his clothes, since he was also soaked.

When Zhou Yuxiang returned, she was wearing a long dress, leaning against the door in a very alluring pose, and said, "Let's go, Pengfei!"

Seeing Zhou Yuxiang dressed so lightly, Xiang Pengfei said with some concern, "Although it's spring, the weather is still cold. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Zhou Yuxiang laughed and said, "Silly boy, don't you know how to turn on the air conditioning once you get in the car?"

Xiang Pengfei scratched his head and said, "That's right, come on, I'll turn on the air conditioner for you!"

So the two of them got into the car and drove aimlessly along the highway.

Zhou Yuxiang stared intently at Xiang Pengfei from the car, her gaze unwavering and fixed on him, completely absorbed in the moment.

Xiang Pengfei blushed a little from her gaze, but he knew clearly that he was being suggestive, so he didn't dare to look at Zhou Yuxiang.

Zhou Yuxiang looked at Xiang Pengfei and couldn't help but ask him, "Pengfei, I can give you my body, why don't you want it? Do you despise me?"

While driving attentively, Xiang Pengfei explained, "I'm not looking down on you, Yuxiang. You need to understand that when a man marries a woman, it's not as simple as just playing around. He has to be responsible for this woman for the rest of her life. He can't ruin a woman's life because of his own momentary desires!"

"But Pengfei, I don't need your responsibility. If you're willing, I can stay with you for life even without a marriage certificate!"

"Thank you, Yuxiang, but what will happen to my parents if I don't get a marriage certificate with you? They'll be gossiped about when they go out!"

Why do you care about them? I married you, not them. You don't need to worry about so much!

"Yuxiang, do you know how much my parents suffered to raise me?"

"That's what they should do. Raising children is for old age security; they just want you to take care of them in their old age and see them off when they die!"

Even so, it's what I should do!

"Yes! So, we're letting them live in a new house, aren't we? As long as they can enjoy their old age in peace, that's enough. But some things still require your decision, Pengfei!"

"Yes, I know. My dad wanted me to be submissive, and my mom wanted me to go to school to change my fate. It was my aunt who told me to come up with my own ideas to change my destiny, which is why I am where I am today. I will never forget the kindness of my uncle and aunt!"

"Yes, I will help you repay this kindness. When we have money and power, we'll give them more!"

"But now I've broken Brother Tu Nan's leg, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay that debt in this lifetime!"

"Let's talk about whether it's paid off or not! We'll do our best!"

"Sigh, that's all we can do!"

"Pengfei!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Let's pull over to the side of the road! I want to rest here with you for a while!"

So Xiang Pengfei parked the car on the side of the road, and Zhou Yuxiang rested her head on Xiang Pengfei's shoulder, closed her eyes, and started to rest.

At that moment, Xiang Pengfei also smelled a girl's fragrance, but he dared not breathe loudly for fear of disturbing Zhou Yuxiang who was resting. So he closed his eyes to rest, and before he knew it, the two of them fell asleep.

"Beep beep!"

Two blasts of the ship's horn startled Xiang Pengfei. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was pitch black all around him. Looking down, he saw that Zhou Yuxiang, who was leaning on his shoulder, was still fast asleep.

Looking at Zhou Yuxiang's fair face and her intoxicating fragrance, Xiang Pengfei was indeed moved. A desire surged through his chest, almost making him unable to control himself and kiss Zhou Yuxiang.

Xiang Pengfei suppressed his thoughts. He patted Zhou Yuxiang, but failed to wake her because he dared not use force. Helpless, he looked at the time in the car; it was already past 2 a.m.

After thinking it over, Xiang Pengfei stopped calling Zhou Yuxiang and instead stepped on the gas and drove off.

Huang Ling was awakened by the alarm clock. She got up by herself without disturbing Zhuang Chaoying, went out of the house, pushed her tricycle outside, and went to the newsstand. She put the martial arts books in the newsstand and then pedaled the tricycle toward the post office.

After arriving at the post office, I checked the newspapers, bought a few more, and then pedaled my tricycle back to the back.

Walking back from the post office, you have to cross four busy intersections, so there are many vehicles and pedestrians.

Although it is nighttime now, there are still many people who make a living at night, like Huang Ling who needs to get up early and work late, as well as sanitation workers and the like. Before dawn, they have to get up very early.

Huang Ling pedaled her tricycle with difficulty, perhaps because she had carried a lot of newspapers today, making the tricycle a bit strenuous. Despite the cold weather of early spring, she was sweating as she pedaled.

As she passed the third intersection, she tried to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Just then, the green light turned red. Huang Ling was also wiping her sweat, so she didn't notice the change in the streetlight and continued pedaling her tricycle forward.

However, a car suddenly sped past on her left. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the car bumped right into the rear of Huang Ling's tricycle, which was also pushed more than two meters away before finally coming to a stop.

The car drove straight through without stopping, and Huang Ling was pinned to the front handlebars of the tricycle, unable to move. She felt pain all over her body, but dared not move an inch.

Xiang Pengfei, who was waiting for a car in another lane, witnessed this scene. At first, he did not know that the person who was hit was Huang Ling, and he watched as the vehicle that caused the accident drove past him.

Just as the car passed by, he saw the driver, who was the same two people who had helped him on New Year's Eve.

Xiang Pengfei immediately became puzzled. These were Zhou Chengzhi's workers. Why would they hit a tricycle driver?

Xiang Pengfei couldn't understand it, nor did he want to understand it. He wanted to pretend he hadn't seen anything and just leave.

"Pengfei, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yuxiang woke up at this moment.

Xiang Pengfei hurriedly said, "There's been an accident up ahead. A man on a tricycle looks like he's been hit!"

Where is it?

Xiang Pengfei pointed to where Huang Ling was lying and said, "She's over there!"

Upon seeing the overturned tricycle, Zhou Yuxiang immediately exclaimed, "Quickly, stop driving! Help them!"

Xiang Pengfei had no choice but to get out of the car with Zhou Yuxiang and run towards the scene of the accident. When he arrived, he saw Huang Ling and immediately shouted, "Auntie!"
