"Um... Pei Ji..."

Shen Zhiyi tried to push against his chest, but his wrists were grabbed and pressed against the sides of the seat, whereupon he leaned in and kissed her more deeply.

Shen Zhiyi was deprived of her breath.

Waves of heat, each stronger than the last, surged through his body.

Between light and heavy kisses, Pei Ji gently rubbed the skin on the inside of her wrist with his thumb.

Light as a feather.

But it made her tremble uncontrollably.

The force of the push gradually weakened.

He gripped her wrists tightly with his large hands, locking them together and raising them above her head. His other hand deftly slipped under the hem of her clothes at her waist, gently caressing and teasing her skin.

He continued kissing her from her lips down to her chin, the side of her neck, and her collarbone...

The senses were stirred up in waves.

It washes away impurities from every pore.

Shen Zhiyi was like a fish laid out on the shore, her eyes glazed over, panting as she was tossed and turned in his palm.

"Pei Ji..." Her voice trembled with sobs as she called him, "Didn't you say you were going to get your marriage certificate?"

"If you mess up my clothes, it'll be difficult to take pictures..."

There are so many people here...

They could be spotted by passersby at any moment...

With her body on high alert, Shen Zhiyi paid close attention to the movements outside, which made her senses even more acute.

They could barely withstand the flames he brought.

Pei Ji stopped moving.

He looked up, and touched her nose with a hint of helplessness. "You've got a knack for this, baby..."

“Every time, they manage to find my Achilles' heel.”

He kissed her lips with a hint of regret, "Okay, let's get the marriage certificate first, and then we'll make up for my current losses when we get back."

He let go of her.

Adjust her seat.

Shen Zhiyi rubbed her wrist and gave him a resentful look.

What compensation...

They're definitely in business.

They can't stand losing even the slightest bit...

Pei Ji seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled as he fastened her seatbelt. "Save your energy for later, okay?"

"The way the baby swears is the cutest."

She pinched him, pushed him, told him to stop, and then mumbled some accusations against him...

She stared at him like a wet, soft kitten.

In the end, it left him with mottled red marks from scratching.

He absolutely adored her just the way she looked.

In this lifetime, only he can appreciate it.

Pei Ji gazed at her, his eyes behind his glasses filled with a deep and moving tenderness.

Like honey, it's sticky and makes people want to drown in it.

Shen Zhiyi blushed again.

"You... why are you always so unserious?"

"Stop looking at me like that."

If she keeps watching, she'll get hot again...

Pei Ji chuckled softly, turned his head, and said, "Sit still."

He gripped the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and drove toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.

...

Zhuang Shuying didn't expect that when Zhang Shunping said he was taking her to buy gold, he meant that the gold shop owner would take her there alone.

We'll still choose from the hotel.

The boss was pot-bellied, had a sleazy appearance, and even had a gold tooth.

He asked her with a smile if she would like to sleep with him.

If you sleep with him, you can take the whole box of gold jewelry he brought for free.

Zhuang Shuying felt disgusted.

But then she thought of Zhang Shunping's stinginess, how pathetic he was that he could only give her a gold chain.

Then she thought of his reluctance to marry her and his impatience with his repeated excuses.

Then look at the gold jewelry in front of you, which you can see and touch, heavy and precious.

She was still tempted.

She thought, "It's only one night, and I can get so much money."

She wasn't some chaste and virtuous woman; faced with such temptation, she believed no one could resist.

That's how she convinced herself.

I endured the nausea and spent the night with that boss.

I got the gold jewelry as I wished.

But he lied to Zhang Shunping, saying he had only bought one.

Zhang Shunping knew perfectly well what was going on.

Because he personally sent his girlfriend to someone else's bed.

He also benefited greatly from this.

At least, the director's gaze towards him no longer always held disdain.

His days on set became much easier.

Once it happens, it will happen again.

Gradually, Zhuang Shuying began to move among all sorts of powerful figures.

Sometimes, she even felt a little dazed.

Is this life better or worse than the previous life?

Although it was her own choice, it seems she had no freedom whatsoever.

It wasn't even as good as when she was with Pei Ji.

At least, he never touches himself.

Those disgusting men would leave all sorts of marks on her body and force her to do all sorts of disgusting things.

Then, like rewarding a dog, he would give her a little treat.

It was just bones, not even a scrap of meat.

Zhuang Shuying gradually became dazed and confused in bed.

Could it be...?

Did she make the wrong choice from the beginning?

Should we go to Pei Ji?

At least he was willing to give himself anything except freedom.

Instead of humbly begging from one different man after another, as she is doing now.

For the first time, Zhuang Shuying had deep doubts about herself.

*

Pei Ji received the marriage certificate and happily took Shen Zhiyi back to her little house.

"I'm going to take a shower first..."

As soon as Shen Zhiyi returned, she dropped her phone and bag and rushed toward the bathroom.

She was afraid that Pei Ji would take advantage of her in the entrance hall.

Pei Ji suppressed a laugh as he watched her flee in disarray, and for the first time ever, he didn't chase after her.

He also has some gifts to give to his baby.
