Wang Zhi Ning wanted to secure a future for herself, but Chi Yan wasn't her only option. Wasn't Chi Jing Yu also a promising prospect?
Moreover, compared to Chi Yan, he has an advantage: he doesn't have a legal wife, so it's perfectly normal for Wang Zhi Ning to be attracted to him.
She's waiting to see them fight like dogs.

"Young Madam, Young Madam Pei has gone out."
Shen Tangning went out and followed behind Madam Pei's carriage. She saw that Madam Pei was dressed casually and entered a teahouse.
Her eyes gleamed thoughtfully: "Who is she going to see?"
Wenqi shook his head: "I don't know, but I've been with Madam Pei for a while and I haven't seen her have any friends."
Shen Tangning also entered the teahouse and chose a seat opposite, where she could see the private room of Young Madam Pei through the bamboo curtain.
The tea at this teahouse was quite good, and she was savoring it when she noticed a man enter Mrs. Pei's private room. Her hand, holding the teacup, trembled slightly, spilling water onto the table. She calmly wiped it up with a handkerchief.
"That person doesn't seem to be Young Master Pei, does he?"
Xueqing propped her neck up and nodded firmly, "He looks unfamiliar." After speaking, she covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of gossip, "Could he be Mrs. Pei's lover?"
Shen Tangning gave her a cryptic glance.
After a while, it seemed that a dispute had broken out on the other side. There were shadows moving behind the bamboo curtain. A moment later, Madam Pei rushed out of the door, her veil askew and her manner flustered.
The man chased after her, blocking her in the corridor, pressing her relentlessly with an unfriendly expression.
People passing by peeked around, but no one bothered to interfere.
"It seems that Madam Pei has encountered some trouble." Xueqing subconsciously looked at her young mistress, only to see that she had already put down her teacup and stood up to walk outside.
Shen Tangning arrived at the corridor where the two were, and heard a sinister, mocking laugh: "Sister-in-law, don't be ungrateful!"
A hiss came from behind her, and Xue Qing's eyes widened in astonishment:
Wow...so exciting!
Shen Tangning frowned and said mockingly, "What kind of skill is it to bully a woman?"
The two people over there looked over at the same time. Under the gauze curtain, Madam Pei's face was pale and her eyes were filled with panic.
Another man, Pei Xuan, glared at Shen Tangning with displeasure. When he saw her face clearly, he let go of her hand in surprise, obviously recognizing her.
Shen Tangning stepped forward and looked at Madam Pei with a questioning gaze: "Do you need help reporting this to the authorities?"
Knowing that she had recognized her, Madam Pei's shoulders trembled slightly, and she shook her head almost without thinking.
Her hurried movements startled Shen Tangning, but she didn't press the matter. She glanced at the man with a cold gaze and said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Pei Xuan's face was grim. He could have mocked anyone else for meddling and being presumptuous, but this person...
Recalling Chi Yan's recent reputation, Pei Xuan dared not speak out in anger. He pointed his finger sharply at Madam Pei from a distance, implying that he would settle scores later, and then angrily turned and left.
Shen Tangning turned around and found that Madam Pei was leaning against the wall, almost completely exhausted, her whole body trembling with fear. She frowned slightly and helped her up.
"Are you... alright?"
