Just as Pei Fengzhi hung up the phone, Ye Ningwan pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.
The two bumped right into each other.
Pei Fengzhi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Is Little Star asleep?"
Ye Ning nodded, somewhat helplessly.
"She kept urging me to tell her stories for over an hour before she finally fell asleep."
She sounded like she was complaining, but her tone was surprisingly gentle, as if it were a sweet kind of annoyance.
She was not at all like a wife who had just learned that her husband had a child out of wedlock.
Pei Fengzhi stared at Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan looked up and met Pei Fengzhi's probing yet suspicious gaze. She frowned slightly and questioned him with a hint of displeasure.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Pei Fengzhi grabbed Ye Ningwan's hand and asked.
"You really like little stars."
Ye Ningwan thought for a moment before answering.
"It's alright. That child is well-behaved and polite, and knows how to be affectionate. He is indeed quite likable."
After saying that, she asked Pei Fengzhi a question in return.
"Isn't that what you think?"
Pei Fengzhi shook his head and said sincerely.
"He is indeed quite likable, just like you."
He pondered.
"Moreover, Little Star always gives me a sense of familiarity. I don't know why, but I always feel close to him without even realizing it. I don't actually like children that much, but I find it rare to like this child."
"That's probably why I've tried to get close to him time and time again. It's not that I'm deliberately disobeying you, it's just that sometimes we just happen to run into each other, and it's really hard not to be moved."
He spoke frankly, only to be met with a nonchalant sneer from Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan pinched his ear and questioned him in an annoyed tone.
“Pei Fengzhi, listen to what you’re saying! This is utterly scumbag talk! What do you mean by ‘repeatedly getting close’? What do you mean by ‘uncontrollable’? I’m starting to suspect that this child might really have been born to another woman outside of our relationship, isn’t it?”
"Confess! Otherwise, don't expect me to let you off tonight!"
Pei Fengzhi was pinched on the ear by Ye Ningwan, and when he heard her say that, he was both amused and exasperated.
He held Ye Ningwan's slender waist, his gaze inscrutable.
"I've been bedridden for over four years, where would a five-year-old son come from?"
Ye Ningwan turned her face away, not giving Pei Fengzhi's kiss a chance to land on her face, and said irritably.
"Who knows? You probably don't even know yourself. Didn't you lose your memory? Maybe you found someone else at some point, or maybe you accidentally had a child."
As she finished speaking, she saw Pei Fengzhi looking at her with a meaningful gaze, a hint of mockery in the curve of his lips.
Are you jealous?
Ye Ningwan immediately shut up.
Her words just now seemed to carry a hint of bitterness, and she regretted it terribly, wondering how she could have said such things without realizing it.
She wasn't jealous at all!
How could she possibly be jealous of Pei Fengzhi? That's unbelievable!
Ye Ningwan remained silent for a while, but Pei Fengzhi's lips were already close to hers. He smiled and whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse.
"Are you jealous? Tell me honestly!"
Ye Ningwan bit her lip, remaining silent.
"What's the point of not saying anything? Confess honestly, or I'll kiss you!"
Seeing Pei Fengzhi acting like a hooligan, Ye Ningwan was truly helpless against him, so she could only push him and try to explain herself.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not jealous! Pei Fengzhi, are you crazy? Have you lost your mind after being locked up for several days?!"
Pei Fengzhi held her tightly, refusing to let go, and gently nibbled on Ye Ningwan's ear, whispering intimately in her ear.
"I'm not out of my mind, I just miss you so much, I'm going crazy thinking about you... my wife..."
"I've already taken a shower..."
The meaning of the last few words couldn't be clearer.
Men who seek pleasure never hesitate to utter sweet words until they have the woman completely bewitched before they can legitimately trick her into bed.
Ye Ningwan was well aware of Pei Fengzhi's actions.
She wouldn't fall for it.
Ye Ningwan stomped hard on Pei Fengzhi's foot, pushed him away forcefully, and wiped her neck, which was covered in saliva from being licked. She could tell without even looking that it was covered in red and purple welts.
Starving Pei Fengzhi was like a dog that had only seen a bone; he was afraid he would kill her tonight.
Ye Ningwan glared at Pei Fengzhi, wanting to dodge, and instead of showing her anger, she lashed out at him.
"Get away from me, don't touch me, Pei Fengzhi. You haven't cleared your name yet. I'm not going to be a gay man's wife. Until I find out the truth, we'll sleep in separate rooms. Starting today, I'll sleep in the guest room, and you can't even touch me with a finger."
After Ye Ningwan finished speaking, she turned around and tried to run away.
But just as her fingers touched the doorknob, a pair of arms gripped her lower back tightly.
Pei Fengzhi's broad, hot body pressed against her, holding her tightly, making Ye Ningwan unable to move.
"Sweetie, where do you want to go?"
Ye Ningwan reiterated this point.
"I've already had the servants prepare a guest room! Don't touch me!"
Pei Fengzhi's soft voice sounded behind Ye Ningwan, carrying a unique masculine magnetism, like countless small hands with hooks scratching at the tip of her heart.
"Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble. There's an even more direct way to prove my innocence."
No sooner had Pei Fengzhi finished speaking than he swept Ye Ningwan up in his arms amidst her scream.
