"Wanwan, don't go yet."

Ye Ningwan stopped and stood aside without asking anything.

Pei Minghan, who was the first to leave, turned back and gave Ye Ningwan a deep look, but soon stepped out of Old Master Pei's room.

With only three people left in the living room, Old Master Pei seemed to relax. His originally sharp expression gradually softened, but he looked much older, as if he were truly an old man on his last legs.

He sighed deeply, waved to Ye Ningwan, and spoke to the old man beside him.

"This is Lao Jiu's new wife. Let her pay her respects to you. It's the first time you've met her."

"This is your fourth uncle."

Ye Ningwan poured a cup of tea and obediently served it to Master Pei.

"Fourth Uncle".

Master Pei accepted the tea poured by Ye Ningwan, looked at her with a smile, and nodded in satisfaction.

"What a beautiful child! Big brother, you have such good taste, finding such a beautiful and well-behaved child for Lao Jiu."

Master Pei patted his body and quickly pulled out an antique gemstone ring, which he handed to Ye Ningwan.

"I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a red envelope for our meeting, so I'll just give you a little toy. You can take it and play with it."

Ye Ningwan glanced at the gemstone ring. It had a pigeon-blood-colored face and very intricate patterns, so it must be an antique.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."

Master Pei waved his hand and smiled at Ye Ningwan.

"Alright, I've met you. Your father and I still have things to discuss. You should go back now. Don't worry about Lao Jiu's matter. No matter what happens in the end, the Pei family will not mistreat you."

These words made one feel somewhat uneasy.

Ye Ningwan glanced at Old Master Pei, and seeing that he nodded at her, she put away the ruby ​​ring and left.

Just as the door closed, Ye Ningwan heard Fourth Master Pei say to Old Master Pei.

"This child is so well-behaved, it's such a pity..."

Ye Ningwan couldn't hear what was said after that, but generally, words spoken in this context are not pleasant.

Ye Ningwan closed the door and turned around, only to run into Pei Minghan. Her expression twisted for a moment, but she quickly regained her usual indifference.

"Why are you still here? Are you trying to eavesdrop?"

Pei Minghan certainly wasn't there to eavesdrop. Old Master Pei's room had the most advanced soundproofing available on the market, with even the walls being double-layered. Even someone with Ye Ningwan's excellent hearing couldn't hear the conversation inside after the door was closed, let alone Pei Minghan.

Therefore, Pei Minghan could only be waiting for her.

As expected, Pei Minghan spoke directly.

"I have something to tell you."

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow.

"But I have nothing to say to you."

She was about to leave after walking past Pei Minghan when Pei Minghan grabbed her arm.

"Wanwan, I just want to say a few words. Give me some time; it will be good for you."

“I have no interest, nephew. Let go of my hand, or I’ll call for help right now, and the old man won’t let you off easily.”

Old Master Pei is currently seething with anger and just wants to find an outlet for it; he's not someone who can be easily appeased.

"Wanwan..."

Pei Minghan's voice was a little hoarse behind her, but she didn't let go of Ye Ningwan's arm.

Ye Ningwan turned around impatiently and looked back at Pei Minghan coldly.

Pei Minghan looked at him with a gaze that was both pleading and persistent, much like he had when he was a student many years ago.

At that time, Pei Minghan still loved her very much. Every time she made him angry, Pei Minghan would look at her with a helpless yet pitiful gaze.

Ye Ningwan suddenly felt dazed, and was forcibly dragged into a room next door by Pei Minghan.

The moment Pei Minghan pinned her against the door, Ye Ningwan snapped out of her daze.

The Pei Minghan of yesteryear and the Pei Minghan of today are completely different people. After all, the Pei Minghan of yesteryear would never have dared to forcibly drag her away and then pin her against the wall.

He was afraid Ye Ningwan would beat him to death.

Ultimately, this person has been too well-coaxed by the women around him over the years, including Ye Ruoxin.

"Let me go! Get away from me!"

Ye Ningwan's disgusted and displeased voice rang out in the narrow space.

Pei Minghan frowned, but instead of letting go of Ye Ningwan, he moved even closer to her.

"Ye Ningwan, what else can you say besides telling me to let go, stay away from me, get out of my way, and move aside? Am I really that hateful to you?"

Pei Minghan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Ye Ningwan's face and questioned her.

Ye Ningwan looked up at him calmly and uttered a single word.

"yes."

Pei Minghan gave a bitter smile and leaned down to kiss Ye Ningwan's lips, which always said hurtful things to him.

If I just block her, I won't feel so bad!

But before he could even touch Ye Ningwan's lips, she kicked him several meters away.

Pei Minghan groaned and knelt on one knee, painfully supporting himself with his hands to keep from collapsing completely to the ground.

That's absolutely awful!

Ye Ningwan glanced at Pei Minghan on the ground with disgust, then turned to leave.

Pei Minghan heard the sound of a door lock being opened. He suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and stared at Ye Ningwan's departing figure, growling through gritted teeth.

"Ye Ningwan, if you dare to leave, I'll make sure Pei Fengzhi doesn't leave this place alive!"

Ye Ningwan paused.

Pei Minghan was also stunned.
