Playing with fire and provoking trouble

  "What are you doing, why are you like this?" Shen Xuan only felt her pulse racing like a drum, unable to distinguish his intentions, but knew that his act of pretending to sleep had suddenly struck a chord in her heart that was about to be frozen.

  Pei Jin Cheng smiled softly, his hand holding the woman's slender and delicate hand, gently rotating and caressing it. His voice was also soft and low, the two of them standing so close together that even the high altitude air pressure and the noise of the helicopter couldn't drown out his words as they slowly entered her ears, carrying a tone that could enthrall her, sounding very pleasant, "As your reward for only taking my clothes, I'll answer you like this. Are you satisfied?"

  Xu Xuan was stunned, and the scene in front of her suddenly shifted. She remembered that time in the hospital when he had held her hand and asked her to be a full-time wife.

  His eyes were so soft at that time.

  She almost thought she was going to die of intoxication.

  "Jin Cheng, I don't need you to repay me."

  "What do you need?"

  She bit her lip for a long time, before slowly saying, "I just want that when you're with me, you only kiss me, only hug me, only sleep with me, after kissing my mouth, don't go and kiss other women, the hands that have taken off my clothes, don't go and touch other women..."

  Xuanshuo said, her voice getting lower and smaller, so small that even she herself couldn't hear it. Her eyes had originally been looking at him, then drifted down, staring at his chin, collarbone, chest...

  All the way down, his head hung lower and lower...

  She lay slantingly beside him like this, how many times had she said so to him, only in different ways.

  She was tough before, but this time, the more she spoke, the smaller her courage became.

  I used to think that as long as he didn't love her, they would divorce and it would be over.

  Now she finally knows that the Pei family will not agree to their divorce, and if he still loves Bai Xue and is willing to find a sense of comfort in her body, as long as he does not divorce her, she has no way.

  She is a sinner, and sinners spend their whole lives atoning for their sins. She had made a vow before she married into the Pei family that she would atone for her sins for her entire life, not just three years.

  So even if he doesn't love her for this lifetime, she's unhappy, it's still a blessing in disguise.

  It was tough before because I thought it would end.

  Now she is weak because she knows the end but doesn't know where it is, so she starts to be extravagant.

  Her heart was bitter and hard to bear, she really wanted to be like Bai Xue, in front of him, shed two tears, but even when she was saddest, she could cry in front of Xin Tian, but not willing to do so in front of him.

  She didn't want to be underestimated by him.

  Xin Tian said, tears are shed only in front of people who care about you, that's what makes them priceless.

  Otherwise, you will cry over the Great Wall of China, and you can't become Meng Jiangnu, but only a white lotus that everyone else despises.

  His fingers curled up and touched his chin, his thumb pressed over to wrap around, the temperature and strength of his fingertips on his lips.

  He slowly rubbed her lips with his thumb, lifting up her chin, and used his arm strength to pull her lower jaw upwards.

  She raised her body with him, her elbows supporting her body, and as his hands moved in the direction of his force, her lips touched his. "The same words, how many times do you want to say?"

  He said this with some impatience, but also a kind of promise.

  But she was shaken by what she heard, and then slowly kissed him gently.

  Their lips rubbed against each other, a familiar taste, his tongue tip played skillfully, making her dizzy and infatuated.

  Even a gentle kiss, just a soft lick and suck, but she would still be stirred up by the temperature in his mouth, her whole body heating up, her face quickly turning red.

  Her hands cradled his face, her hairpins at the back of her head, now disheveled from sleep, from kissing, and because his palm had pressed against the back of her head in affection, a strand of hair fell down from her left shoulder, a loose lock covering half her face, making her look even more alluring. She let out a soft sigh, "Jin Cheng."

  Looking into her eyes, which were hazy with a thick emotional mist, he smiled slightly, his mouth crooked and mischievous. "Ah Xuan, I don't think I can take being ravished by you when I'm covered in injuries. You'll have to wait until I've recovered, won't you? It's not like every time is going to be when my body isn't cooperating. Even if you're on top, it still requires me to be physically capable."

  "Pffft!" Shen Xuan slapped a palm on Pei Jin Cheng's shoulder, "Madman!"

  Pei Jin Cheng pulled on Shen Xuan's neck as she tried to get up, "You dare say you didn't want it just now?"

  "I don't want to!"

  "Really?"

  "Really!"

  He kissed her again, this time more aggressively, pinning her beneath him, his hand slipping into her clothes and unhooking her bra to fondle her nipples.

  She shuddered for a moment, gritted her teeth, this madman was someone who couldn't even move while lying down, yet he still dared to play like this, what's there to be afraid of?

  She let him touch her, leaving his mouth to go kiss his ear, the tip of his tongue licking her neck, the sensual sliding Adam's apple on her neck was a good thing, she licked him once, and he made a "gulp" sound.

  Then she licked it again and again, several more times. She felt his Adam's apple was a bit hot, and when she looked again, his entire neck had turned red.

  She raised her head and glanced at him, seeing that his entire face had turned red. She also learned from him to give a sly smile, "Mr. Pei Jin Cheng, do you want it?"

  Pei Jin Cheng clenched his fist, never expecting this woman would take revenge on him like this.

  His abdomen and back are injured, his calf is plastered with fractures everywhere, this little demon wants his life.

  On the other hand, it's better to stop talking about it.

  She had already pushed up his clothes and was licking his sensitive chest with her head bowed down.

  Crazy!

  His fists clenched even tighter, his whole body surged with heat, and the blood vessels in his eyes slowly condensed, filling the whites of his eyes. "Shen Xuan! Get up!"

  "What's wrong?" Shen Xuan stopped and floated above him, her eyes filled with innocent water vapor, which made Pei Jin Cheng a bit stunned. This woman was good at pretending to be innocent, one set after another.

  Pei Jin Cheng let out a sigh, he had always known that he couldn't withstand Shen Xuan's temptation, but he hadn't expected to collapse so quickly, even when he was on guard.

  He was forcing himself not to get excited while kissing her, but he still did, and felt a little regretful about his self-control. "I'm hurt, get up! Don't touch me again!"

  Her eyes were innocent, but at this moment, she furrowed her eyebrows and pouted, imitating a little girl's tone, "But Mr. Pei Jin Cheng, I really want to touch you now, do you want me to?"

  Bai Jincheng was worried that he would get hurt at a bad time, and sure enough, he got hurt at this very moment.

  If it weren't for the stitches, if the calf wasn't fractured, those injuries on his back wouldn't be considered serious, but...

  ！！！！

  Xin Yu successfully made his pants bulge despite Pei Jin Cheng's attempts to stop him with his hands and verbal warnings.

  She patted it a few times, and the more she rubbed, the harder it became. In the end, it was like there was an iron rod in her pants. Her watery eyes sparkled with seduction, "Young master, do you want it?"

  Pei Jin Cheng's face turned dark with rage, "Shen Xuan, you just wait! Once I recover, you won't be so lucky!"

  Xuan raised an eyebrow and shrugged, "Well, you can't let me off now."

  Xuan has gotten off the bed and sat back on the sofa, picking up the magazine again.

  Pei Jin Cheng gritted his teeth, looking at Shen Xuan who was sitting there leisurely, without any intention of helping him. This made him feel both embarrassed and uncomfortable, as if the fire in his lower abdomen was burning fiercely.

  At this time, Shen Xuan seemed to have not seen it, calling her did not respond, scolding her did not listen.

  Pei Jin Cheng had just returned home when he received a call from Lin Zhi Yuan. He picked up the phone with an unsatisfied tone, "Hello."

  "Not very happy, huh."

  "A bit, if it were you who was injured all over and being made to work hard by Zhou Yun, would you be happy?"

  Lin Zhiyuan smiled, "Make a plan for the water park's materials, it needs to be detailed and beneficial to G City's economic development from all angles. After completing it, submit it separately to the Planning Bureau, Urban Construction Supervision, and Municipal Committee. Can you prepare it by next Monday?"

  Pei Jin Cheng's unsatisfied emotions were swept away, and his eyes even brightened a bit. Lin Zhiyuan's efficiency was indeed not ordinary. "Of course, I'll have it done by Sunday for Lord Lin to review?"

  "Okay."

  Lin Zhiyuan didn't mean to hang up the phone. Pei Jincheng immediately said, "I've already contacted him, and the surgery will be done after tomorrow."

  Lin Zhiyuan got the desired promise and asked, "Which hospital is it set in?"

  "Universal love."

  "Is Shen You Ran and her son living in the Pei residence?"

  "Yes, at Pei's home."

  Pei Jin Cheng initially didn't want Lin Zhi Yuan to know about Qiao Ran and her mother's whereabouts, after all the more he couldn't find any clues, the more he could control. Now looking at what happened with Adis, as soon as he left G city, Lin Zhi Yuan was able to investigate and find out, how could he not be able to find out about Qiao Ran and her mother's residence?

  People like Lin Zhiyuan are impossible to control and can only be cooperated with.

  So when he was in D city, he told Lin Zhiyuan that Qiao Ran had signed a long-term employment contract with the Pei family.

  It's just to tell Lin Zhiyuan that Qiao Ran lives in the Pei family.

  The Pei family is not an outer villa apartment, it's not a place where just anyone can enter.

  Lin Zhiyuan had to come see Qiao Ran, and he would inevitably have to go in and out of the Pei family.

  Once the news of Lin Zhiyuan entering and leaving the Pei family spreads in the circle, I'm afraid no one will dare to come and interfere with the Pei family again.

  Thanks to the protection of San Ye, the Pei family's business went smoothly and they became wealthy. Later on, everyone chose to engage in commerce rather than politics, thinking that as long as they made more money, everything would be fine.

  Now it seems like a way of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!

  In the future, he must have several more sons, and distribute them evenly among business, military and politics, absolutely cannot end up like this, being attacked from both front and back.

  "Is it convenient for you to meet at your place tonight?"

  The receiver, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. Lin Zhiyuan's words were the result of much deliberation.

  Lin Zhiyuan had thought about it for a long time, he didn't want to teach Pei Jincheng how to take advantage of his weakness, but now that there's no way to pretend anymore, so he simply stopped pretending. Now that he has helped Pei Jincheng, Pei Jincheng also gave him information about Shen You Ran and her mother as a return gift, he accepted it all, why bother being hypocritical.

  Since the form of corruption and bribery has been established, why not just go all out?

  He wants a rebate and he must get it! It can't be like the carrot in front of the donkey or the cat's tail behind, chasing after but unable to catch!

  "My current injury makes it impossible for me to get out of bed, but I can have Shen Xuan accompany you. Don't worry, my wife won't say anything she shouldn't."

  "My trip to the Pei's house must be kept secret."

  Pei Jin Cheng was taken aback, it turned out that Lin Zhiyuan was so careful, then this news naturally couldn't be leaked. "Good."

  Pei Jin Cheng hated the wheelchair at home and had always hated it so much that he refused to sit in it no matter what.

  Would rather sit on the edge of the bed.

  Call Shenhuan and tell him about Lin Zhiyuan and Qiao Ran's affairs.

  Xuan was stunned and listened, no wonder she had never asked him, not even thinking about Qiao Ran, only occasionally remembering that the woman was quietly beautiful, if it were a woman outside of Pei Jin Cheng, it would be somewhat enviable.

  Although she had considered that child with Pei Jin Cheng, she hadn't felt as distressed as when thinking of Bai Xue.

  Perhaps in her subconscious mind, she had always thought that Qiao Ran and Pei Jin Cheng were unrelated.

  Night, slightly cool.

  After the operation, Qiao Ran also knew what had happened. She was so nervous that she couldn't eat, and after telling a story to Qiao Yu, she watched her son fall asleep before coming out of the nursery again. Seeing Shen Xuan waiting outside the door, she was first startled, then calmed down.

  She smiled warmly at Shen Xuan, but her smile was always shallow. However, when she saw Qiao Ran and knew that he had nothing to do with her husband, she felt relieved and her smile became even more elegant and beautiful.

  "Miss Qiao, shall we go out for a walk and leave the nanny to watch here?"

  Qiao Ran was a staff member in this mansion and had been living here for some time, so she also knew that there were strict hierarchies inside. When the young mistress of the main house spoke, she couldn't refuse either.

  The Pei residence has many winding paths and secluded retreats, with pavilions that are exquisitely crafted, resembling a palace.

  "Grandpa said to call him grandpa, so I'll also call you sister Ran," Shen Xuan said while walking and talking to Qiao Ran.

  Qiao Ran felt a bit embarrassed, "Young Master's wife, this..."

  "Call me Ah Xuan."

  "...... Eh, Ah Xuan."

  "These days there have been many things at home, and something has also happened in my mother's family, so I couldn't come to see you, don't be offended."

  "It's us mother and son bothering you."

  "On the contrary, Grandpa will have to rely entirely on Ranan's care."

  The two people spoke in a very friendly tone, and walked all the way to the teahouse.

  Tonight no one is here drinking tea, it's very quiet.

  Although every household has a study and a tea pavilion, the tea pavilion of the Pei residence is different. This pavilion was built on the water, and this stretch of water was excavated from a section of the moat that surrounds the house, forming a small lake, with the tea pavilion situated in the middle.

  Under the tea house, there is a pond with fragrant lotus flowers. The third floor has a broad view, and during the daytime, everything in front of you is lush and green. Sometimes, even if people don't drink tea, they like to come up to this floor and sit for a while.

  Before they knew it, the two had already sat down. Shen Xuan poured a cup of tea for Qiao Ran and pushed it over. "It's said that people from G City make good tea, and the wives of G City can cook delicious soup. But I haven't learned either skill. The things we do in Hai City aren't as delicate or refined as those done by southerners. I'm a bit ashamed, but please don't look down on my skills, Nai Jie."

  "I won't either, anyway Xiaobao doesn't drink tea and is too lazy to learn." Qiao Ran inadvertently mentioned Qiao Yu, her eyes fluttering with a hint of disarray and panic.

  Xuan smiled, "Little Treasure is so adorable, don't worry sister, he's usually very active and has a good physique. The surgery the day after tomorrow will be fine, Jin Cheng was worried you'd be anxious, so he asked me to come over and tell you to relax."

  "Thank you, Xiao Bao is usually very active, but sometimes when he gets a fever, it lasts for over ten days. Ah." Qiao Ran rubbed his temples and pressed down hard, "Sometimes I feel really guilty, thinking that I've wronged him."

  "Don't blame yourself, you're a good mother, and few women are as strong as you."

  Qiao Ran had no grudges against Pei Jin Cheng to begin with, and now Shen Xuan came to comfort her. The grievances of the past few years had not been expressed, but perhaps it's because women sitting together always easily find common topics, such as their husbands or children. Shen Xuan said she was a good mother, which struck a chord in her heart, hurting so much that her eyes welled up and her nose twitched.

  She shook her head, "If I were a good mother, I would have been more careful during pregnancy and he wouldn't have ended up with this illness. He's only five years old, born smaller than other kids, taking more medicine than candy, getting injections more often than buying toys."

  Xuan Shen pulled out a paper towel from the box on the table, slightly leaned over, and helped Qiao Ran dab at the corner of her eye. "This isn't your fault. Sometimes with this kind of illness, it's not about being careful or not, but fortunately Xiao Bao has been raised well by you, and Adis is very confident, he said there's a 95% success rate, you should know that this is a huge hope."

  Qiao Ran nodded vigorously, "I know, I know, I really want to thank you both, Jin Cheng helped me find such a good doctor, I would be willing to work as an ox or a horse to repay him, but... I have nothing left, only Xiao Bao... He's so young, yet he understands things so well, not like a five-year-old child at all. Once when I took him for an injection, he cried and my heart ached. Every time I see him cry when he sees the white coat, my heart is twisted in pain. That time, I held him and cried, thinking to myself that I would rather take his place and suffer instead of him. But after that, he never cried again. Every time we went for an injection, he would touch my face and say, 'Mommy, don't cry today, Xiao Bao won't feel any pain.' I felt like he was my everything."

  Xuan couldn't help but shed tears as well. She didn't have children, yet somehow Qiao Ran's words made her feel heartache for this mother and son pair.

  Lin Zhiyuan sat in the cubicle, his tea cup empty, but his ears were filled with words. His breathing was a bit low, and he wanted to get up, but forced himself to sit down. Pei Jincheng had said that everything should wait until Xiaobao's surgery was over.

  Deep and serene!

  He held the cup, and in front of him flowed a dazzling light, all spring flowers blooming profusely, scenes flashing by, from high school to university to work, what was it that drove him to walk step by step like this?

  She said she has nothing left?

  Does she think he's dead? His name is always shining in the sky of G city, the secretary of the municipal party committee. Even if it's just a casual flip through the provincial news channel, you can see him at any time, and he's always by her side.

  She said she had nothing left.

  Teeth clenched, heart vessels one by one knotted up.

  Shen Xuan originally intended to follow Pei Jin Cheng's plan, arranging for Qiao Ran to come out and chat with Lin Zhiyuan, allowing him to get in touch with her. Last time Lin Zhiyuan saw the video, this time it would be best if he could hear her voice.

  Xuan Zhuo did it, but after sending Qiao Ran back to Ju Yuan, her mood was very heavy.

  She didn't know what kind of power could support a woman to raise a child independently like this, and Pei Jin Cheng said he couldn't be certain if the child was Lin Zhi Yuan's or not.

  Ke Lin helped Zhiyuan Jin Cheng Holdings solely because of Qiao Ran, so he must comfort Qiao Ran.

  Qiao Ran didn't want to see Lin Zhiyuan, or maybe the child wasn't Lin Zhiyuan's. Otherwise, if Lin Zhiyuan was helping out like this, wouldn't Qiao Ran have gone to find him if the child were his?

  Why don't you let Lin Zhiyuan think of a way to save Xiaobao?

  Xuan gave Pei Jin Cheng a good rubdown and then went to take a bath before going to bed.

  Pei Jin Cheng asked her how she was doing?

  Xuan said, "Why must women's lives be so bitter?"

  Pei Jin Cheng was apparently stumped by Shen Xuan's illogical thinking, "What does a woman's fate have to do with this?" "Isn't a man's life bitter too?"

  "What's hard about being a man? Just think about their own comfort, from the moment they're born, it's all women who suffer. They have to carry a big belly and find work! And squeeze onto public transportation! After giving birth, it's all taken care of by women! During the day, they hire a nanny to go to work, at night they still have to take care of the child! What did he do? If Xiaobao's surgery goes smoothly this time, he'll get a five-year-old son for free! But what about Qiaoran? She's been through so much bitterness and hardship all these years, alone, watching her child suffer from illness. Not only is she physically exhausted, but also mentally tortured. What has Lin Zhiyuan suffered? What's hard about being a man? When they're doing it, they don't care about anything, what a load of nonsense!"

  Pei Jin Cheng had already lain down, he was just casually asking, should say it was to find a topic with Shen Xuan, who knew she would scold him like this, what is called only taking care of oneself when comfortable? Doing something without caring about anything else?

  The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. Clearly, they were asking about Lin Zhiyuan's situation, but somehow the conversation had turned into a debate between men and women.

  The key is that my wife said it with great indignation, her neck was stiffened, her whole face turned red, and the more she spoke, the louder she became, her tone becoming increasingly severe, as if she were about to quarrel.

  Xuan glared at Pei Jin Cheng and turned her back on him.

  Bai Jin Cheng felt like he had become Lin Zhi Yuan in Shen Xuan's eyes.

  "Hey! Can't you speak properly? Don't always be like a firecracker, exploding at every little thing, okay?"

  Xun heard Pei Jin Cheng say this, and indeed felt a bit guilty. What does this have to do with Pei Jin Cheng? Why is she speaking so angrily? Are women born with a hatred for men who abandon their wives and children? Is that why she's so agitated?

  "Sorry, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm very sleepy now."

  "Ah, cough, or else you can go buy some condoms tomorrow?"

  Xin was startled for a moment, then turned over and looked at Pei Jin Cheng. This thinking is too jumping, she can't keep up with his rhythm! The previous sentence asked her to speak nicely, and the next sentence was about contraception? How deep are the grooves in this man's brain? "What?"

  Pei Jin Cheng also stretched his neck, with an unhappy face, and said, "Didn't you say that men only care about their own comfort, and don't care about anything else when they're doing it? At most, you won't take medicine in the future, I'll take care of it. What's the point of being so fierce over this? Isn't it just because you want me to be responsible for birth control? You're making such a big fuss! Like a female ghost!"

  Shen Xuan didn't dare continue talking with Pei Jin Cheng anymore, for fear that this proud and arrogant man would get angry again, and she would have to coax him.

  Do you use contraception?

  She seemed to have taken the medicine no more than twice and later didn't even bother to take it anymore.

  "Whatever, we're all young anyway. 'Alright, alright, I was wrong, can't I just apologize? I'll go buy it tomorrow, is that okay?'"

  The next day, Shen Xuan went to the company. Pei Jin Cheng stayed at home to recover from his injuries. In the evening, Grandfather Shen, Shen Kai, and Pei Li all returned to the Pei residence.

  Shen Xuan naturally didn't go buy condoms, Pei Jin Cheng can't do anything now, what's the point of buying them?

  She received her grandfather's call at the company and went back to the Pei family, so she rushed back before the end of work.

  She returned to the Pei residence before dinner time, and after parking her car, she called an electric vehicle to head back to Wutongyuan to take a bath and ask Grandfather and Brother where they were.

  My heart is bursting with joy.

  Grandpa has come over, and brother has also come over, she hopes that the two families will be closer.

  This is more like a family.

  As soon as she entered the Wutong Garden, Xiaoying came over with a smile and said mysteriously, "Young lady, I'll tell you, Sheng's grandfather and uncle are upstairs, and so is Master. They're all checking on Young Master's injury. This time, I think Uncle's attitude towards Young Master has improved a lot."

  Xian's eyebrows and eyes sparkled with laughter, radiating a brilliant light for an instant. Xiang thought to herself, how long had it been since Young Master and Madam had been so happy?

  "Madam, you go up first, I'll bring tea up for you later."

  "Good."

  Xuan said that she had already walked up the stone steps and entered the main building. Xiao Ying quickly took out slippers for Xuan to change into.

  Xin Xuan wanted to give her grandfather and brother a surprise, so she carefully climbed the stairs with her cotton slippers making no sound.

  Xiaoying downstairs looked at her covering her mouth and laughing, thinking to herself, "Look at the young mistress laughing so happily, with a shy and reserved demeanor, she's really adorable."

  A person who is usually cold and distant most of the time suddenly becomes lovely and cute.

  As Xuan finished walking down the last flight of stairs, she could hear her grandfather's voice. Her grandfather's voice was not as loud and boisterous as Grandfather Pei's, but rather gentle and kind. She wanted to listen more clearly, so she smiled with narrowed eyes and walked over slowly. It must be Grandfather and Brother thanking Jin Cheng.

  "Jin Cheng, last time you returned the marriage contract to help our family get through a difficult time, and as a condition, let our family agree to the matter of Miss Bai. This time, something big happened in the mine again, it's our family that owes you... Since you said Xiao Wu agreed to Miss Bai's matter, this is also your family's custom, we Shens don't dare to interfere with what's going on, but I still hope you won't let Xiao Wu suffer..."

  Xuan Fu slowly moved her hand away from the door and stepped back, shaking her head. How could Grandpa agree?

  He went to Haicheng this time, is he going to cancel the engagement? In order to let Bai Shan enter the door, actually returned such a thick dowry?

  Step by step, he retreated towards the stairs.

  He smiled and said, "You are my wife, I must maintain your dignity after all."

  The mouth and heart cracked open in waves, cracking until fresh blood flowed freely, vision already blurred.

  Pei Jin Cheng, is this how you preserve my dignity? You ran to my mother's house and said you wanted to take a concubine, is this the dignity you preserved for me? What dignity do I have left? What dignity does the Shen family have left?
