Pei Minghan lay on the ground, panting heavily. His ribs had been broken by Ye Ningwan, and he couldn't get up at all. Even breathing hurt. But he still tilted his head and looked at Ye Ningwan, trying his best to speak firmly.

Even if you kill me, I will still tell!

His eyes were bloodshot as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate.

“It’s not just the eldest branch of the family; everyone in the Pei family doesn’t want Pei Fengzhi to return unharmed. Now, Fourth Grandfather has come too; he’s here specifically to persuade Grandfather. Fourth Grandfather once saved Grandfather’s life, so Grandfather will definitely listen to him, and Pei Fengzhi will definitely be kicked out of the Pei family!”

"Pei Fengzhi has made many enemies over the years, and countless people want him dead. Do you think he can survive without the Pei family's glory?"

Ye Ningwan listened calmly to Pei Minghan's words, and surprisingly, she wasn't angry at all.

She asked.

"so what?"

Ye Ningwan had been quite ruthless towards Pei Minghan earlier. Pei Minghan coughed a few times, feeling an excruciating pain in his ribs that felt like it was going to kill him.

He gasped for breath, his vision blurring slightly.

"Cough cough cough... Ye Ningwan, Pei Fengzhi is finished. He will only drag you down. You will never get ahead if you stay with him. There is no future for you!"

Ye Ningwan scoffed and reminded Pei Minghan.

"Pei Fengzhi and I are already married. We are husband and wife now. If I'm not with him, who else would I be with? You?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Minghan felt a sudden, inexplicable stirring in her heart.

He remained silent for a long while before speaking in a low voice.

"You can get a divorce after marriage. If you really want to leave, Pei Fengzhi can't stop you. After the divorce, I will take good care of you. Don't worry, I will never let anyone have a chance to bully you. I am the most likely person to inherit the Pei family in the future. I have the ability to protect you and not let anyone bully you!"

Ye Ningwan stared at Pei Minghan, who was lying on the ground unable to move after being beaten by her, and suddenly found Pei Minghan's words to her ridiculous.

"Protect me? What, are you planning to break off your engagement with Ye Ruoxin before marrying me?"

Pei Minghan actually thought about it for a while, and then showed a troubled expression as she spoke to Ye Ningwan.

"I'm afraid that won't work. After all, you've married my Ninth Uncle. Even if you divorce Pei Fengzhi in the future, I won't be able to give you the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family. But I promise you, I will make sure you have no worries about food and clothing. I will give you everything you want and make you the happiest woman in the world!"

"Wanwan, when you agreed to marry into the Pei family according to the Ye family's wishes, it was because you wanted to see me more, wasn't it?"

"You haven't given up on me at all, have you?"

"In that case, what does it matter if we have a formal title or not? As long as we love each other, that's enough, right? I promise, no matter who I marry in the future, the person I love most will always be you."

Ye Ningwan smiled.

"You make it sound so nice, and you draw a perfect picture, but it's a pity I'm on a diet and not eating sugary or oily foods."

Pei Minghan was probably in too much pain and was so moved by this self-righteous deep affection that her mind couldn't process it for a moment.

"Um?"

Ye Ningwan suddenly walked towards him.

"However, I can also guarantee that no matter who you marry in the future, the woman you will never forget will be me."

because……

Ye Ningwan lifted her foot and stomped down hard with her heel.

"ah--"

A piercing scream, filled with a soul-crushing despair, echoed repeatedly in the narrow, dimly lit room.

...

It wasn't until Madam Pei couldn't find Pei Minghan that her servants came looking for her, and they found Pei Minghan lying on the floor in the room, already in a semi-conscious state.

"Young Master...Young Master, how are you?"

Pei Minghan stared blankly at the pale white ceiling, a tear rolling down her cheek.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out for a long time.

The maid sensed that something was wrong with Pei Minghan and said anxiously.

"It just so happens that Dr. Su hasn't gone home yet. I'll ask him to come and take a look at you!"

The maid was about to go find someone when Pei Minghan suddenly let out a shrill and frantic scream.

"Stop! You're not allowed to go!"

His voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and the way he glared at the servant was just like a wild beast trapped deep in a cage, unable to break free.

The maid was so frightened by Pei Minghan's appearance that she took two steps back and slowly nodded.

"Okay...please don't be angry, I won't call Dr. Su...but can you get up? Or should I call an ambulance for you?"

Pei Minghan shook her head.

"Don't see a doctor, don't see any doctor!"

The maid looked helpless and had no choice but to move Pei Minghan to the sofa, then close the door and secretly call over Madam Pei.

When Madam Pei arrived, she was terrified to see Pei Minghan lying motionless on the sofa. She immediately ran to him, knelt down beside the sofa, and cried.

"Minghan, what happened to you? What happened? Who did this to you? I will never let them get away with this!"

Pei Minghan gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time. Finally, annoyed by Madam Pei's crying, he took a deep breath and, enduring the pain, spoke to Madam Pei.

"I probably broke two or three ribs..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei felt as if her entire world was collapsing.

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and after a moment she roared at the servant.

"What are you all doing? The young master is in this state, where's the ambulance? Where's the doctor? I think none of you want to work anymore! Useless! Idiots!"
