The more considerate Pei Zhi was, the more guilty Xu Xingran felt.
Xu Xingran could only finish eating as quickly as possible so that Pei Zhi could go back sooner.
As a result, Xu Xingran noticed that there was no movement beside her while she was eating.
Only then did I realize that Pei Zhi had fallen asleep in her chair.
Xu Xingran sighed, tiptoed to her feet, found a blanket in the bedroom, and gently covered Pei Zhi with it.
Xu Xingran also lost her appetite and just stared quietly at Pei Zhi's sleeping face.
Xu Xingran fell in love with Pei Zhi as soon as she joined the company.
Xu Xingran had never seen such a charming woman before.
After that night, Pei Zhi apologized to him, saying she had drunk too much, and asked Xu Xingran what compensation she wanted.
Pei Zhi was drunk, but Xu Xingran was not; he had taken the initiative to drink.
He wanted to have something happen between Pei Zhi and him, even though he knew that Pei Zhi already had a fiancé of similar social standing.
Xu Xingran didn't mention any compensation, only saying that she was in love with Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi didn't say anything, and the next day she cleared out all his student loans.
Xu Xingran only just learned that all his tuition and loan payments from high school to university were sponsored by the Pei family.
The Pei family sponsors at least hundreds or even thousands of high-achieving students every year, and Xu Xingran is just one of them.
Xu Xingran's circumstances at the time did not qualify her for a student loan from the school.
If it weren't for the Pei family's money, Xu Xingran would have dropped out of school and started working long ago.
Xu Xingran became even more infatuated with Pei Zhi because of this.
A person who is wealthy but willing to put their charity work to those in need is even more attractive.
After that, the two of them tacitly understood each other.
Whether you slept with someone once or twice is not a big deal.
Xu Xingran stayed by Pei Zhi's side, and every time she saw Pei Zhi frown, Xu Xingran wished she could help Pei Zhi solve all her troubles.
Unfortunately, he didn't have much ability and could only offer a few words of concern when Pei Zhi was going through a tough time.
Pei Zhi slept for about half an hour, and when she woke up, she found Xu Xingran staring straight at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Never seen me before?"
Xu Xingran shook her head. "I just realized that it seems like it's been a while since I've quietly looked at you like this."
Although Pei Zhi has made time to spend with Xu Xingran these days.
They came and went in a hurry.
By the time Xu Xingran realized what was happening, he was all alone, facing the empty room.
"We have a class reunion next week, and I want to go," Xu Xingran said, mustering her courage. "Could you come with me?"
Before Pei Zhi could answer, Xu Xingran lowered her head and stroked her belly, saying, "I'm already showing a bit. If I go alone, they'll probably ask me all sorts of questions."
Go with Xu Xingran to the class reunion? Of course not.
Although Pei Zhi is not a public figure now, she made headlines for several days in a row because of her wedding with Huo Jiayuan.
Pei Zhi's identity was also exposed by everyone. Pei Zhi herself believed that she was not so ugly as to look like an ordinary person.
Pei Zhi avoided the topic: "You're not even three months pregnant yet, where's the baby bump?"
"Besides, I heard from my dad that the baby's condition is unstable in the first three months, so you shouldn't go running around."
Pei Zhi brought up her father again, adding another layer of worry, "What if you go to a party and someone spills their wine on the floor, and you slip and fall?"
Xu Xingran also became worried upon hearing this.
Yes, attending a party is just about everyone eating and drinking together.
What if someone spills wine or water on the ground and slips and falls?
Pei Zhi gently patted Xu Xingran's hand, "So, be a good girl and don't run around for the first three months. Take good care of the baby, okay?"
Pei Zhi's last sentence carried a hint of intimidation.
Xu Xingran, being Pei Zhi's former subordinate, immediately nodded in agreement.
Pei Zhi smiled when she saw that Xu Xingran had agreed.
“You’re better this way, not like…” Pei Zhi shook her head, hesitating to finish her sentence.
Xu Xingran understood the meaning behind Pei Zhi's unfinished words.
It seems that Zhizhi and Huo Jiayuan's married life is not happy.
After using PUA tactics on Xu Xingran, Pei Zhi started making empty promises to her.
"Your most important task right now is to give birth to the baby safely. After you give birth, wherever you want to go, I'll take you there in my private jet, okay?"
Xu Xingran, who was initially somewhat displeased, was immediately amused by Pei Zhi.
"You're exaggerating! I've never even been abroad in my life, how could I possibly deserve a private jet?"
“Why not?” Pei Zhi retorted, “He’s the father of my child. He’s good enough for anything in the world.”
Pei Zhi said with a hint of suggestion, "As long as you give birth to the child safely, I can send you to outer space if you want to."
Xu Xingran's heart skipped a beat. Did Pei Zhi's words mean something like this?
As long as he gives birth to the child, he can make Pei Zhi divorce Huo Jiayuan if he wants.
Pei Zhi had stayed with Xu Xingran long enough, so she told Xu Xingran to rest well and then got up and left.
Xu Xingran watched Pei Zhi's departing figure with reluctance, her hand stroking her flat stomach, while some thoughts, like towering trees, began to emerge.
Xu Xingran's initial thoughts were really simple.
He just wanted to have a child who was related to him by blood.
He has no relatives left in this world.
Moreover, the child's mother is Pei Zhi, the only person he has ever loved in his life.
Xu Xingran didn't want to scheme for anything; her only wish was to give birth to the child.
But looking at the tiny gestational sac on the test results, some thoughts involuntarily started to surface.
Therefore, Xu Xingran would sometimes deliberately torment Pei Zhi.
Seeing that Pei Zhi was always willing to come over in person to care for him and greet him.
This also let Xu Xingran know that he and the child held some weight in Pei Zhi's heart.
Even if it's just for the sake of her child, Xu Xingran wants to fight for it.
He wanted to fight for a legitimate status for himself, and for his children, to claim a share of the family fortune.
After getting into the car, Pei Zhi took out her phone, which was set to silent.
There were many messages sent by Huo Jiayuan.
Huo Jiayuan went skiing abroad and took many photos with his friends.
Besides posting frantically on WeChat Moments, he also sent many photos to Pei Zhi separately.
Huo Jiayuan is like a proud cat; he has a bad temper but is outstanding in appearance.
Moreover, although she seems to have a bad temper, she is easy to coax and control as long as Pei Zhi is willing to put in some effort.
This is why Pei Zhi, having already secured her position, was willing to marry Huo Jiayuan.
Fu Shen was not a suitable marriage partner.
Like Pei Zhi, Fu Shen wields real power, making it difficult to control him.
Fu Shen is like a fox. Once Pei Zhi marries Fu Shen, he will definitely not let Xu Xingran off easily like Huo Jiayuan did.
