Waking up, Pei Zhiyu found herself in a flash marriage with her archenemy, Qin Hezhou!
Originally thinking it would be a contract marriage with no interference, who knew that on the day they ...
"Move to Wenhu South Road, I will give you a home, no one can hurt you or abandon you anymore..." Qin Hezhou said this slowly and firmly, as if confessing.
"Okay?"
Pei Zhiyu smiled.
Qin Hezhou was even more nervous as he waited for the "verdict".
She didn't answer, as if to agree, and turned back into the house.
Qin Hezhou followed him in and heard Pei Zhiyu say to the lawyer, "I agree to the conditions. When can I move?"
Lawyer Fang was surprised at first, then delighted. He said with a look of relief, "Anytime. But you have to let me know in advance so I can have my aunt come over and help you two clean up."
"Yeah." Pei Zhiyu nodded, then asked, "Are you sure? Only three months, right?"
"That's right."
"Although it's surveillance, I hope she won't disturb me...our normal life as much as possible. It's not good to go too far, don't you think?" Pei Zhiyu said bluntly.
"Well..." Lawyer Fang said timidly, his eyes moving back and forth between Pei Zhiyu and Qin Hezhou.
To be honest, he couldn't guarantee the level of disturbance, after all, the aunt who came to "monitor" was hired by Old Lady Qin.
His gaze stayed on Qin Hezhou, and he wondered, didn't the old lady tell Mr. Qin in advance?
"Can't answer?" Qin Hezhou was displeased. The way the other party looked at him made him feel uncomfortable.
"No, no." Lawyer Fang immediately waved his hand, looking away, and agreed through gritted teeth, "I'll tell Auntie not to disturb your married life too much."
As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed the sweat from his palms.
This couple is truly a match made in heaven. Neither of them is easy to deal with. I will definitely not take this job next time!
"I'll leave these to you first, and we'll discuss other things later." Lawyer Fang took out the previously prepared agreement from his briefcase and handed it to Pei Zhiyu along with the keys in his hand.
The matter came to an end. Before leaving, Pei Zhiyu looked back at the painting...
It’s like looking back at my repressed childhood.
But now, Qin Hezhou's warm and soft palms covered her eyes and he said, "We should go."
Pei Zhiyu obediently let him lead the way out, feeling a sense of anticipation in his heart.
It was getting darker, but the sunset glow was still there.
The shimmering water in the distance seemed to have a great attraction for her.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Qin Hezhou asked.
"Is it okay?" Pei Zhiyu's eyes were filled with surprise, but when he thought of what Lawyer Fang had said before, he became depressed again.
"You won't be able to go out later, right? We're not the owners yet."
Lawyer Fang stood aside, eager to leave work, but just then Qin Hezhou looked at him and asked in an unquestionable tone, "Lawyer Fang should be able to solve this problem, right?"
“…” He had to solve it even if he couldn’t.
In fact, Qin Hezhou could just use facial recognition, without anyone having to greet him. This was just an excuse to reassure Pei Zhiyu.
After receiving the affirmation, the smile returned to her face.
Qin Hezhou was also happy.
The lakeside has been newly greened, and the yellow willows hang over the water. With the afterglow of the setting sun, this scene magically soothes Pei Zhiyu's anxiety.
The two walked side by side on the path, and an elderly couple, supporting each other, passed by them.
A trace of envy flashed across her eyes.
"Do you want to talk about your childhood?" Qin Hezhou suddenly asked.
"When I was a kid?" Pei Zhiyu was stunned, then smiled and said, "There's nothing much to say."
She really didn't want to mention it, perhaps the time was not right, so Qin Hezhou stopped asking.
In the silence, the cry of a baby was heard.
Pei Zhiyu saw a baby carriage rushing towards the water at a rapid speed on the slope in the distance.
Almost instantly, Pei Zhiyu rushed forward to grab it without thinking, but... she was a step too late.
The child looked less than a year old and was crying loudly. A string in her head snapped, and she kept walking, but when she was about to reach the surface of the lake, Qin Hezhou suddenly pulled her back.
"Don't stop me!"
"Stand still!" Qin Hezhou yelled at her for the first time out of extreme worry and panic.
"You can't swim."
After he said this, he jumped into the water without even giving Pei Zhiyu time to react.
With a "thump".
Her mind went blank for a moment.
"Ah - my child!!!" A woman in plain clothes suddenly rushed over, speaking with an accent, and in panic she only wanted to jump into the water.
Pei Zhiyu wanted to stop her, but unexpectedly the other party was very strong and almost dragged her into the water.
Helplessly, she pushed the man toward the shore and said, "Calm down! My husband has already gone to rescue him."
After hearing this, the woman collapsed to the ground instantly, covering her face and crying, shouting that it was all over and she couldn't explain.
Pei Zhiyu had no sympathy.
She hated irresponsible parents the most, who would bring such a young child to the water and then run away.
Now I just hope the child is okay, Qin Hezhou should be able to...
"Xiaoyu! Carry the child up!"
Hearing the noise, Pei Zhiyu immediately took the baby. Looking at Qin Hezhou, who was soaked in water, she couldn't help but feel distressed. The temperature was not high today.
"Come up quickly! You'll catch a cold." she urged.
Qin Hezhou swiftly got ashore and combed his wet hair back. He added, "You still know you can catch a cold? But your mind just jumped in. I told you to protect yourself last time, but you forgot."
Although it was a lesson, Pei Zhiyu felt only warmth when he heard it.
He always has the habit of caring for people in a forced way.
But now is not a good time to be moved. The child is drowning and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately.
Before she could finish her words, the woman rushed over and snatched the child from Pei Zhiyu's arms, muttering "That's great, that's great" to herself.
Pei Zhiyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer and reminded her: "If you don't send her to the hospital, she won't get better!"
The woman suddenly woke up and said, "No, no, I have a doctor at home. I can just take the child back!"
Most of the people living here are from wealthy families, so it's not surprising that they have a family doctor.
Pei Zhiyu said helplessly: "Then take it back quickly, don't delay."
The woman quickly responded and said yes.
But Qin Hezhou noticed the strange look that flashed across her face. Seeing that Pei Zhiyu was so concerned about the child, he called the woman back.
"We'll go with you," he said.
"Why?" The woman showed a resistance expression.
Pei Zhiyu also gave him a puzzled look, seemingly puzzled.
Qin Hezhou picked up his coat and said, "I saved your child. I don't ask for your thanks, but at least let me change my clothes."
This reason is acceptable. It is very cold now and he is soaked all over. If he goes back like this, he will definitely catch a cold and a fever.
The woman still had some conscience and finally agreed.
On the way, Qin Hezhou deliberately kept a distance. Before Pei Zhiyu understood, he said directly, "You are a little strange."
Qin Hezhou tugged at his sleeves uncomfortably and said with a smile, "Don't you think that woman is even weirder?"
