Chapter 35 I promise I won't touch you
Lin Xiyin's heart leaped into her throat.
She smiled calmly: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Pei Muye signed his name with a flourish.
Lin Xiyin turned to the next page: "There's more here."
After Pei Muyi signed, Lin Xiyin put away her pen and put the document in her bag: "Then I'll go back."
Pei Muye glanced at her indifferently; "Used and then thrown away?"
Lin Xiyin's heart was pounding wildly at that moment, and she couldn't care less about anything else.
As a result, Lu Zuofan spoke up from the side: "Lin Xiyin, what's the difference between you and a man who gets out of bed, puts on his pants, and doesn't recognize you?"
Lin Xiyin frowned.
Pei Muye kicked him from the side: "Shut up!"
Lu Zuofan dodged: "Hey! You really are a friend over a pretty face!"
Pei Muye ignored him and looked at Lin Xiyin: "Is there something you need to do when you go back?"
Lin Xiyin just wanted to leave this place and calm herself down.
She nodded haphazardly: "I still have some documents to review when I get back."
Pei Muye stood up: "I'll see you out."
"I drove here."
Lu Zuofan chuckled beside him: "I'll give you a ride, which translates to 'I want to sleep with you'..."
Before Lu Zuofan could finish speaking, Pei Muye kicked him again.
Lu Zuofan dodged to the side: "Hey! You're getting angry because I hit a nerve? Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"
Pei Muye didn't bother arguing with him. He grabbed Lin Xiyin's wrist and pulled her out of the private room.
The corridor was much quieter.
Pei Muye said, "He always speaks without thinking, just pretend you didn't hear him."
Lin Xiyin remained noncommittal.
On the contrary, she felt that Lu Zuofan was right.
Pei Muye contacted her for no other reason than to have sex with her; it seemed that the two of them had no other communication besides that.
After going downstairs and leaving the glittering clubhouse, Lin Xiyin said, "I can go back by myself."
Pei Muye looked down at her without saying a word.
Lin Xiyin glanced at him.
After three years of marriage, she had come to know Pei Muye to some extent.
For example, the look in his eyes right now... it's obvious he's sexually frustrated.
She said, "Why did you sign your name so smoothly today? It turns out Pei Muye is waiting here for a thank-you gift."
It's like he paid the hospital deposit and then sent her to a dinner party.
These are all gifts of gratitude.
But he wants to go to bed today.
Even if the divorce agreement hadn't been signed, knowing that he and Ming Qingwan had an ambiguous relationship, Lin Xiyin would never let him touch her again.
That's right, she just said that the document was an insurance document, but she was actually lying to Pei Muye.
What I had him sign yesterday was indeed an insurance document.
Pei Muyi had already lowered his guard after signing the agreement yesterday. Today, even though he was at the club and surrounded by a noisy crowd, he didn't pay any attention.
Lin Xiyin let him sign the document without him even realizing it.
Lin Xiyin's heart is still pounding wildly.
Huo Xianyang taught her this method.
To my surprise, it actually succeeded.
Where is the car?
Lin Xiyin was still feeling lingering fear when Pei Muye spoke up.
"I really have something to do," Lin Xiyin said. "We'll talk later..."
She frowned, then said without hesitation, "I'm on my period, so there's nothing you can do if you come over."
In terms of strength, she was no match for Pei Muye.
Besides, Pei Muyi doesn't know yet that he signed the divorce agreement.
Even a fool could tell that if Pei Muyi knew she had tricked him into signing the document, he would be furious.
So she still needs to discuss with Huo Xianyang what to do next.
Pei Muye just stared at her and asked, "What do you think I was going to do there?"
He frowned after saying that; "You're on your period? Isn't it the end of the month?"
"Yes, it's earlier than planned," Lin Xiyin said. "So, can I go now?"
As she turned to leave, Pei Muye grabbed her wrist: "In your heart, is the only reason I contacted you about that kind of thing?"
Lin Xiyin looked at him strangely: "Isn't that right?"
Pei Muyi, a man who was usually calm, lost his composure and angrily shouted, "Lin Xiyin!"
Lin Xiyin broke free from his hand: "Why are you yelling? This is the truth. Did I wrong you?"
Pei Muyi took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
He said, "Putting everything else aside, we are husband and wife. Is it my fault that we have marital relations?"
“I didn’t say it was your fault,” Lin Xiyin said. “But when have you ever respected me? When I said no, did you listen?”
"You..." Pei Muye was speechless for a moment: "Then what can I do if I have a need?"
"So I told you in advance that I was on my period and couldn't do it, was that wrong?"
Pei Muye had nothing to say.
Lin Xiyin lifted her leg and walked away.
After walking a few steps, I heard a noise behind me.
She turned around and, sure enough, saw Pei Muye following behind.
What else do you want?
Pei Muye spoke up: "I have something to ask you."
"Ask away."
“I’ll go to your place, or you can come back to the old house with me,” Pei Muye said. “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t touch you.”
Lin Xiyin raised her chin: "Drive your own car back."
Pei Muyi lied through his teeth: "I didn't drive here, Lu Zuofan picked me up."
Lin Xiyin didn't know if it was true or not, so she could only reluctantly agree to let him get in the car.
When Lin Xiyin bought the car, she never expected that Pei Muyi would condescend to ride in it several times.
Lin Xiyin carefully placed the documents in her bag, then put the bag on the back seat before getting into the car.
The two didn't talk much along the way.
Upon arriving at Lin Xiyin's residence and taking a seat, Lin Xiyin asked directly, "What is it? Tell me."
Pei Muye took off his coat and loosened his tie: "Not even a glass of water?"
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to get up and pour him a glass of water.
When they got back, they found that Pei Muyi had taken off all his clothes except for a shirt, and several buttons were undone.
Lin Xiyin frowned, but since Pei Muye didn't say anything explicitly, she didn't know what to say either.
"Go ahead and say it," she said, handing her the water.
“It’s almost Chinese New Year, you should go back to the old house,” Pei Muye said. “That’s what Dad wants too.”
Lin Xiyin said, "I won't go back. I won't make things difficult for you with Dad. I'll talk to him."
“We’re not divorced yet,” Pei Muye said. “I don’t care what you do at other times, but you have to go back to the old house for the New Year.”
"You asked me about the way of husband and wife before," Lin Xiyin said. "I think the most important thing is mutual respect."
"You always say I don't respect you, so let me ask you, have you ever respected me?"
Lin Xiyin looked up and looked at him with amusement.
Isn't she respecting him enough?
Because of excessive respect, they humbled themselves to the dust.
"I'm telling you to go back to the old house, give me a reason why you won't go back."
"We're getting a divorce..."
“You said you wanted to, not that you’re already divorced,” Pei Muyi said. “So, isn’t it right for the family to reunite during the New Year?”
Lin Xiyin thought to herself that there were still more than ten days until the New Year.
All she had to do was use this time to tell Pei Muye about the divorce agreement, and then the two of them could go and get their marriage certificate.
Then she won't have to spend the New Year at the Pei family's house.
So for now, we can only use delaying tactics.
She nodded immediately: "Okay, I understand."
Pei Muye glanced at her, his expression softening considerably, clearly satisfied with her answer.
Lin Xiyin said, "You can go now."
"I'm not leaving tonight," Pei Muye said. "I'm going to take a shower."
Lin Xiyin stood up abruptly and blocked his way: "Pei Muye, please leave."
Pei Muye looked down at her.
The man, who was usually dignified, solemn, self-disciplined, and respectful, seemed to have a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
Lin Xiyin looked away, her eyelashes trembling slightly; "Don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Pei Muye was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Why would my staying overnight make things difficult for you? You're on your period, so I won't touch you. I just wanted to..."
“It’s not appropriate,” Lin Xiyin said. “We are already discussing divorce. I can’t accept any more physical intimacy.”
Pei Muye looked around and said, "I'll sleep on the sofa."
Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "Then what's the point of you staying overnight?"
Pei Muye looked a little annoyed, but also somewhat embarrassed.
Lin Xiyin thought she had misread it.
Pei Muye said, "Do you think I only think about that one thing?"
Lin Xiyin didn't think much of it and just said, "We're getting a divorce. It's already unreasonable for you to stay here with me. You even said you wanted to sleep on the sofa, but you can sleep in the bed when we go back. Why are you making yourself suffer?"
"I don't want to leave..."
"Please," Lin Xiyin said, extending her hand before he could finish speaking, "Don't make things difficult for me."
Seeing her expression, Pei Muye didn't say anything this time, and took his clothes and walked out.
He turned around only when he was standing at the door: "Lin Xiyin, about the divorce... can we discuss it again?"
Lin Xiyin was quite surprised: "What did you say? What's there to discuss? Didn't we already agree on this?"
After saying that, she realized what she had said.
It's likely that something happened to Ming Qingwan, which is why Pei Muyi said those words.
Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any reason that could make Pei Muyi save the marriage.
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Pei Muye looked at her, his voice much gentler than before: "If... I did something wrong, I can change it."
Lin Xiyin was stunned.
What did she hear?
Am I hallucinating?
Or is she dreaming?
How could Pei Muyi say something like that?
Could it be that someone has possessed my body?
Otherwise, it would truly be like the sun rising in the west.
That's really strange.
Seeing that Lin Xiyin remained silent, Pei Muye continued, "No matter what, I still think... it's best not to get a divorce."
I don't think so.
Lin Xiyin said it directly.
He slept with Ming Qingwan, and she doesn't want him anymore.
She thought he was dirty.
Lin Xiyin wouldn't tell him this.
She said, "Since marrying you, I haven't had a single happy day. Pei Muyi, only now do I realize that my life could have been lived in a completely different way. Please... take pity on me and let me go, okay?"
Pei Muye's eyes were dark as he stared at her.
After a long silence, he turned and left.
Lin Xiyin gave a self-deprecating laugh and closed the door.
After spacing out in the living room for a while, she suddenly snapped back to reality, picked up her bag, took out the documents inside, looked at them carefully, and then called Huo Xianyang.
Huo Xianyang answered quickly, asked about the situation, and said, "Bring the documents to me tomorrow."
Lin Xiyin agreed.
