Ye Ningwan felt that Pei Fengzhi was a good person in every way, except that he always liked to give himself life-threatening problems.

Of course, she couldn't answer that question directly.

She's not stupid!

But Pei Fengzhi's phoenix eyes were fixed on her, and although his gaze was so gentle, it gave Ye Ningwan a chilling sense of crisis.

It was as if if she didn't answer the question, or didn't answer it properly, the result she wanted wouldn't be what she expected.

Ye Ningwan avoided his gaze and pushed the wheelchair toward the private room.

"Let's go back first, it's too cold here. There's air conditioning in the private room."

She started by saying something seemingly insignificant, yet perfectly in line with the current situation.

Pei Fengzhi said nothing, which was taken as an agreement.

The two returned to the private room. As soon as Ye Ningwan entered, she saw that the table was full of dishes, but there was no one inside.

Ye Ningwan sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and her gaze swept over the exquisite Cantonese dim sum dishes.

"Looks good! I won't hold back if you insult me..."

As soon as Ye Ningwan finished speaking, before the chopsticks in her hand had even fully fallen, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a pair of slender and beautiful hands.

Pei Fengzhi looked at Ye Ningwan with a half-smile.

"Wanwan, you haven't answered my question yet."

Seeing Pei Fengzhi's determined attitude today, Ye Ningwan knew that this problem wouldn't be easily resolved.

With a sigh in her heart, Ye Ningwan put down her chopsticks, moved her chair, and faced Pei Fengzhi sitting beside her, asking him a question word by word.

"I thought Chen Xingxue was your woman. She acted more like she was your wife than I was, the lawfully wedded Mrs. Pei. Could I have misunderstood her?"

Her innocent and naive remark once again threw the problem back to Pei Fengzhi.

Pei Fengzhi touched Ye Ningwan's beautiful face, his calloused fingertips brushing against her lips before he leaned closer to her face.

Ye Ningwan didn't move.

Just when she thought Pei Fengzhi was about to kiss her, he stopped in front of her. Their eyes met, their breaths mingled, and Ye Ningwan could even smell the strong sandalwood scent on Pei Fengzhi.

Pei Fengzhi's light, breezy laughter rang in my ears, tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Wanwan, are you jealous?"

Ye Ningwan lowered her head slightly, lowered her eyes, and her thick, long eyelashes fluttered gently, casting a faint shadow.

"I wouldn't dare."

Pei Fengzhi said helplessly.

"What are you afraid of? Is there anything in this world that you, Miss Ye, wouldn't dare to do? You even dared to hit my sister-in-law and nephew."

Ye Ningwan pursed her lips.

"That's different. I hit the First Madam and Pei Minghao because you were backing me up. I don't know who your women are, so of course I wouldn't dare to act rashly. What if you didn't help me?"

Ye Ningwan is a person who can be very fierce when she wants to be, but she also has no psychological burden when she needs to be vulnerable. She pretends to be weak, innocent, and pitiful so well that Pei Fengzhi can't even find a place to say a few words to her.

After a moment, Pei Fengzhi lifted Ye Ningwan's chin with his fingers.

Ye Ningwan met those unfathomable phoenix eyes. The two were still so close, but Pei Fengzhi had already suppressed his smile and was speaking to Ye Ningwan with utmost seriousness and earnestness.

"Ye Ningwan, you should know this very well: I, Pei Fengzhi, have no woman!"

"My relationship with Chen Xingxue is nothing more than that of a restaurant manager and a customer. Not only her, but I have never been with any other woman! Never before, never now, and never in the future! Do you understand?"

Ye Ningwan could clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

What does Pei Fengzhi mean by this? Is it a confession?

At this moment, Ye Ningwan knew that, at least for now, Pei Fengzhi genuinely liked her.

It's just a pity...

She gave a bitter laugh to herself, then pouted and asked Pei Fengzhi a question in return.

"Didn't you say you lost a part of your memory? If you have amnesia, how do you know you don't have other women? What if you did have one while you were suffering from amnesia?"

To this question, Pei Fengzhi unexpectedly did not give a direct answer, but instead resorted to an almost shameless approach.

"I just know! I definitely didn't!"

Ye Ningwan stared at Pei Fengzhi speechlessly, unable to refute him for a moment.

He's already said that, what else can she say?

Ye Ningwan struggled for a moment, broke free from Pei Fengzhi's grasp, and asked calmly.

"Can I eat now?"

Pei Fengzhi nodded.

Ye Ningwan picked up her chopsticks, added a shrimp dumpling, and stuffed it into her mouth. The shrimp dumpling was plumper and juicier than those in ordinary shops. Ye Ningwan's cheeks puffed up as she chewed contentedly, her face full of happiness.

Pei Fengzhi just watched him quietly. He wasn't feeling well and couldn't eat much, so he barely touched his chopsticks. He only occasionally wiped the soup residue from Ye Ningwan's mouth or helped her steady the drink she almost knocked over.

After a long while, the table was devoured in a whirlwind, and empty plates were cleared away one by one. Ye Ningwan had almost finished eating when Pei Fengzhi suddenly spoke again.

"I really didn't."

Pei Fengzhi, who was eager to prove his innocence but didn't know how to do it, was actually a little bit cute.

Ye Ningwan wiped her mouth, turned to look at Pei Fengzhi, and nodded with a smile.
