She struggled to get up from Pei Fengzhi's embrace, creating distance between them.

"I'm fine. You know my strength. I don't get injured so easily. I'm not some parasitic plant that has to rely on a man."

Although Ye Ningwan sometimes likes to use others' strength against them, that doesn't mean she's really a useless person who can be bullied!

Pei Fengzhi felt a sudden emptiness in his arms. Looking at Ye Ningwan, who seemed more distant from him, he felt a strange emptiness in his heart, a sense of fear and worry about losing something.

Pei Fengzhi was momentarily lost in thought, lowering his eyes to quietly look at his palm. Even Ye Ningwan felt a pang of pity seeing that expression.

Their gazes and emotions erupted in an instant, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch them.

On the other side, Doctor Pei barely managed to stand by holding onto the tea table. She was panting heavily, her intense emotions making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Ye Ningwan!"

She hissed through gritted teeth.

"I'll ask you one more time, who is it? Who ordered you to harm my son? Was it him?"

Madam Pei pointed her sharpened fingernails at Pei Fengzhi, who was standing not far away, and a crimson color crept up her pale yellow eyes, almost filling her entire eye sockets.

She questioned him, word by word.

"Is it Pei Fengzhi?"

"Did Pei Fengzhi promise you benefits? He said he would keep you in the position of the ninth wife of the Pei family forever, and let you have everything. As long as Pei Minghan gets into trouble, and Pei Minghao is useless and good-for-nothing, the eldest branch of the family will have no successor, and the old master will definitely not hand over the Pei family to the eldest branch! Then Pei Fengzhi can rightfully take everything away?!"
