Once inside the waiting black sedan, shutting out the still-noisy surroundings behind her, Zi Xi finally let out a long sigh and gently rested her head on Pei Mozhi's shoulder.
Sometimes, even just eating melon seeds can be tiring.
"What a... huge farce."
Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
"Yeah, a bunch of clowns who have torn up all dignity for profit and personal gain."
“That Miss Jin thought that she could enter the Fu family by getting pregnant, but Fu Moyan would never take responsibility for her, and the Fu family would never acknowledge the child in her belly.”
"She was essentially set up by Lin Wei, who blocked all her last escape routes."
Pei Mozhi reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"But this Fu Moyan really is a reincarnation of a scumbag king."
Zi Xi frowned slightly as she thought of her last crazy moment. This should be the biggest wave the female lead could pull off.
How could the male lead be such a scumbag? Is this world a hidden male-oriented microcosm?
"This is all their own fault; greed and stupidity always come at a price."
"The Lin family is quite cunning. Publicly tearing off their facade would only cause the Fu family to lose face temporarily. With what they did today, the Fu family has suffered a huge loss."
“Our Pei family isn’t as cunning as the Lin family. People in our Pei family are all upright and honest. Like me, I would never use any dirty tricks to pursue you…”
Pei Mozhi spoke indifferently, then paused and looked at Zi Xi.
"Alright, your constant self-praise... is even more excessive."
"But this Miss Lin is ruthless enough. She used someone else to do her dirty work, and she even managed to save face for the Lin family."
"The women in these wealthy families are indeed not simple."
"Don't ask me to read this kind of gossip lately, it's making my brain grow too big."
Listening to his endless self-praise, Zi Xi pinched his lips.
"Okay, none of this concerns us."
"So what should we do next? Is there anything you'd like to do?"
Pei Mozhi was startled by her grip. He looked at Zi Xi, his gaze focused as he tightened his hold on her hand; her palm was warm.
"Yes, I'm going to a class reunion."
Zi Xi thought of the message she received a few days ago: the class reunion was the day after tomorrow.
The original owner of this body had a relationship that was neither close nor distant with her classmates, but she would attend the class reunion every year because of the teacher who had taken special care of her back then.
So this year is no exception; Zixi has already made time for it.
"Class reunions should allow family members to bring their children, right? Then I'll go to your class reunion too."
Pei Mozhi gripped her hand tightly, leaned closer to her, and spoke with utmost seriousness.
The air froze instantly.
Zi Xi seemed to have been put on pause; the laziness and relaxation on her face vanished instantly.
She turned sharply to look at Pei Mozhi, her eyes filled with disbelief and a questioning tone as if she were asking, "Are you crazy?"
"Pei Mozhi, the class reunion notice clearly states that it is limited to the classmate in person only, and it does not say that family members can bring them!"
"Besides, we've only registered our marriage, we haven't even had a wedding yet. If I take you there now, people will misunderstand me."
Zi Xi tried to find a trace of a joke on his face.
The original owner's chat history with her homeroom teacher concealed the fact that she was already married.
"If you're not bringing your family, then I can be your bodyguard... The Hyatt Hotel the night after tomorrow, right? I'd like to go too."
Pei Mozhi looked aggrieved, but his expression was extremely serious, as if he were discussing a high-value project.
"Bodyguards won't do either."
Zi Xi turned her head away and pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed.
