Pei Zhiyu seemed more vulnerable in the dream than ever before, tears streaming uncontrollably, dropping onto her skin.
It was scorching hot, so scorching that it made people feel helpless.
"I clearly told you that what I hate most in this life is being deceived and betrayed. Why are you still hiding it..."
She sobbed, hugged the other's neck even tighter, and spoke with a tone of resentment, but also more like grievance:
"We've talked so many times during this period, and you had many opportunities to tell me the truth, but you kept silent. Now that I've discovered it myself, what's the point of saying you regret it?"
In the mist, Pei Zhiyu heard a voice ringing in his ears.
He kept saying to himself: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
But what's the use of saying sorry?
She didn't need an apology at all—
After hearing this, the man asked her what she wanted if she didn't have to apologize, and he was sure he could do it.
"I want you to promise!" Pei Zhiyu rested her drowsy head on his shoulder, her tears wetting his collar: "Promise that from now on, you won't tell me a single lie, and you absolutely won't..."
"Can't what?" he demanded.
But she had obviously fallen asleep, and the only answer he got was her long breathing.
"Oh..." Qin Hezhou sighed deeply.
He reluctantly let her go until Zhou Yanli came outside to urge him. Then he carefully put Pei Zhiyu back on the bed, tucked the quilt for her and left.
"Don't tell her I was here."
"I get it, you lovesick guy." Zhou Yanli teased him deliberately, but Qin Hezhou couldn't laugh at all.
Seeing his heavy expression, Zhou Yanli could only offer some words of comfort and ask him to take better care of Pei Zhiyu.
Before leaving, he asked again: "How long do you plan to deliver that gift?"
Qin Hezhou glanced at him and replied, "I'll take her home until she forgives me and is willing to go home."
"Didn't you see when you just walked in? She didn't even look at all the things. She just threw them in the corner. They're piled up like a mountain."
Zhou Yanli put his hands on his hips, feeling somewhat helpless. "Every time I go to pass it on, she looks like she wants to eat me. Honestly, I advise you to try a different approach."
“…” Qin Hezhou remained silent.
Until he drove back home, Zhou Yanli's words and the mountain of gifts he saw in Pei Zhiyu's lounge were still echoing in his ears.
Plus, she said it herself, so there's no need to apologize.
So, is it really not okay to give gifts?
Qin Hezhou flipped through the documents Qiao Yue had sent him again, muttering to himself as he read, "I personally selected all of these, cut and packaged them, and you threw them away without even looking at them? At least open them before throwing them away."
"Alas... you will suffer the consequences if you do evil."
In any case, the gifts cannot stop and new strategies must be thought of.
Before he could figure out how to pursue his wife, a message from his assistant popped up.
Assistant: [Boss! Shocking news!]
"..." This is just adding fuel to the fire. He will be fired sooner or later.
Qin Hezhou replied impatiently with one word: [Speak.]
Assistant: [After failing to instigate Cheng Xiuqi's kidnapping, Xiao Qin, unwilling to give up, contacted an artist under Qi Jingming named Song Jiashu!]
He wanted to use Song Jiashu to sow discord between Pei Yuanyuan and the Madam, using the Pei family's hand to deal with her and exploit your weaknesses. The rumors about you and the Madam that day, as well as the trending searches, were probably all caused by them!
[Also, Qin Zhenghao suddenly contacted Ward a while ago, seemingly looking for someone, but the details are still unclear.]
【There might be a traitor! 】
Qin Hezhou: [I understand.]
He held his forehead, leaned against the desk, and stared at the painting left by Pei Zhiyu on the wall, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
These methods are nothing to him, and can even be said to be no different from children playing house.
He was not even afraid of Hunter's bullets, so how could he be afraid of the tricks of Qin Zhenghao and his son? But these two people just happened to find his only weakness.
He himself may not care about life or death and may take risks, but he will never let anything happen to Pei Zhiyu.
Song Jiashu cannot be kept.
Qin Hezhou quickly contacted Qi Jingming, and the other party naturally obeyed his orders and promised to deal with the matter as soon as possible. As for Pei Yuanyuan, they would also handle the termination of the contract.
As for the insider Qin Zhenghao arranged...
Before, the first thing that came to his mind was the suspicious Jiang Ke'er who suddenly appeared.
But Jiang Keer resigned on her own initiative.
Now the only person left around Pei Zhiyu is Qiao Yue, who provided him with this document.
Qin Hezhou wanted to tell Pei Zhiyu about this matter first so that she could be more careful.
But when he opened the WeChat chat box between the two, he was stunned.
All the messages above were sent unilaterally by him. Pei Zhiyu hardly replied to him recently, and when he did, it was just a very bland "hmm" or "oh".
He hesitated for a moment, but still sent the edited message.
When Pei Zhiyu saw her, it was already the next day. She woke up from the bed with swollen eyes.
I didn’t drink any alcohol, but why do I feel like I have a hangover... My head and eyes hurt.
After seeing the message from Qin Hezhou asking him to be wary of Qiao Yue, Pei Zhiyu hesitated for a long time before replying with an "OK".
Scrolling through the chat history, she suddenly realized that Qin Hezhou had sent her so many messages in just a few days.
When she looked up, she happened to see the gift boxes in the corner. She couldn't help but complain: "It's hindsight."
Then he stood up and moved away from this annoying pile of things.
