As husband and wife, or as enemies?

  Xin deeply knew that Pei Jin Cheng, although now actually 29 years old, still had a psychological age stuck in the 26 years of more than three years ago. He had a very strong young master temperament, which was to prosper those who obeyed him and perish those who opposed him.

  No matter how bad his temper was, Pei Jinrui is now in the river. "Jin Cheng, you know that the water in our house is very cold!"

  His fingers, which had been pressed against her chest, now pressed down on her arched back, his fingertips tracing a path along the base of her throat, leaving a trail of warmth behind, the skin at the tips of his fingers soft and warm to the touch, the pads of his fingers brushing against the underside of her jaw, exerting gentle pressure, stretching her neck out even further.

  She was negotiating with him, so she no longer resisted.

  "But he said, 'Shen Xuan, don't interfere with this matter. Come back to Wutongyuan with me. Someone will be here soon, and the riverbank is so low, nothing will happen.'"

  He spoke slowly and reasonably, unlike the unreasonable young master, his tone was also consulting with her, but it seemed to show that his patience had reached its limit.

  "Jinrui is your brother!" Since Shen Xuan moved into the mansion, he had never seen Pei Jinrui swim. The water was freezing cold and just standing by the shore made him feel the chill. Even if nothing serious happened, he would definitely get sick.

  But he completely ignored what she said, straightened her body, smoothed out her blouse, and the waist of her skirt perfectly wrapped around her slender waist. He was infatuated with the body wrapped in her clothes, his fingers slid across her face, and slowly said, "Come back with me, and I'll pretend that nothing happened tonight."

  "Jin Cheng! Even if you're not happy today, Jin Rui has taken care of you a lot over the past three years. Many times, he helped me take care of you! He..."

  Her words were interrupted by his low and heavy voice, "Shen Xuan! Come back with me, let's pretend that nothing happened tonight, and from now on, you will still be my wife, Pei Jin Cheng!"

  "Are you not going to bring Jinrui up?" She couldn't have thought that he would treat Jinrui like this, the man who had taken care of her for more than three years, it was something more difficult to express than kindness, not something that could be repaid with a meal or a few words, yet her husband...

  Although it is said that great kindness need not be thanked, but can't just ignore someone in distress like this?

  Pei Jinrui did not get out of the river, but instead leaned against the stone shore like a weak body, and on his pale face that had been frozen for some time, he raised a faint, sly smile.

  "Xuǎn, come back with me and you'll still be my wife, Péi Jǐn Chéng's wife!" He repeated again, seemingly not having heard a word she said, just stubbornly talking to himself. The phoenix pupils shone brightly with colorful lights, those dazzling colors that flashed by in an instant were compromise and concession.

  "I must get Jinrui up here! Or you let me go find someone to come and pull him up!" Her heart ached for several seconds, she was his wife, but he wanted her to make an inhumane decision, she couldn't do it!

  "If you come back with me, you'll still be my wife. If you insist on going to him, then from now on we are... enemies!" He said the last word resolutely, and the unyielding tone in his voice made one's heart tremble with fear.

  This was his last concession, he could have pretended that nothing had happened that night, just treating it as an uncut thread of emotions, a momentary confusion, but now, he couldn't indulge her anymore.

  His brother wants to tear down his wall, so he no longer regards him as a brother but as an enemy. If she goes to rescue, it means that she is willing to stand on the other side and oppose him!

  Pei Jin let go of Shen Xuan, he turned around, stretched out his hand to casually pat the dust off his pants, and with a resolute yet unwilling back, he took a step forward, still repeating in a light tone, "You come back with me to Wutongyuan, we're still husband and wife. You go pull him ashore, then we'll be enemies!"

  Enemy! Enemy!

  Xuan Yu's body shook, her foot slipped, and she almost fell over. Just as she was about to catch up, the sound of splashing water came from behind.

  Pei Jin Cheng walked a distance before hearing the woman behind him shouting anxiously, "Jin Rui, give me your hand, I'll pull you up, give me your hand!"

  The man stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, exhaled, shook his head slightly, and smiled wryly. That phrase "the later the better" must be a lie.

  A Xuan, you're actually willing to be my enemy.

  He lifted his foot again, and a gust of wind came up at night. He took a deep breath, as if the wind was blowing into his brain.

  Xunlan pulled up Pei Jinrui and dragged him to the shore. Pei Jinrui kept sneezing, "Ah Xun, you go back, I'm fine now."

  "I'll send you to the hospital, wait for a moment."

  Xue picked up the phone and called the property management to send an electric vehicle over.

  "You go back, wait for the electric car to come over, I'll go myself. If you don't go back, Big Brother will misunderstand again." As soon as Pei Jinrui finished speaking, Ah-chu let out another loud sneeze. He knew that Shen Xuan probably had a crush on Pei Jincheng and could no longer keep her away like before.

  Shen Xuan looked at Pei Jinrui's drenched body and felt his cold hand, which made her worried.

  So Shen Xuan always sent Pei Jinrui to the medical department. This was the first time Pei Jinrui had been taken care of by Shen Xuan, and he was so meticulous.

  She called the servant of Cuizhuxuan before getting on the electric car, asking someone to send dry clothes to the clinic and bring a hair dryer.

  As soon as others arrive at the hospital, the servant's clothes have already been delivered and can be changed immediately.

  Pei Jinrui thought that Pei Jincheng had enjoyed Shen Xuan's care for more than three years, but he only got it once...

  Shen Xuan asked the doctor on duty if she could have an infusion ahead of time so that she could go back to sleep and avoid catching a cold.

  Pei Jinrui stood up and said his body was fine and didn't need an IV drip.

  "A Xuan, you'd better go back quickly, big brother's temper will make you suffer again later."

  "Jin Rui, sorry about tonight."

  "Sorry about what? It's nothing." Bae Jin-rui smiled indifferently and said, "Hurry back now."

  "Uh-huh." Shen Xuan nodded and reminded Pei Jinrui to take his medicine before leaving the clinic.

  Back at Wutongyuan, Xiaoying was pacing back and forth on the first floor, feeling anxious. When Shenyin approached, she startled Xiaoying so much that she almost cried out. "Young mistress, can't you make some noise?"

  Xun took off her high heels, and Xiao Ying had already placed slippers in front of her. Xun hummed, "I'm wearing high heels, of course there's noise. You don't have long ears yourself, what's wrong with you? Not sleeping at night?"

  Xiao Ying looked up to the top of the stairs with a worried expression, then turned back to Shen Xuan and said, "The young master returned without making a sound or showing any expression, it scared me to death. I was just thinking about whether I should call a doctor over to take a look at the young master."

  Xin's heart skipped a beat as she looked up at the floor above, her eyes narrowing slightly as she asked with some trepidation, "What happened to him?"

  "Doesn't she look like something's wrong? Has the company encountered some big problem?" Xiang asked, then immediately shut her mouth. "Young lady, I didn't mean to, I just thought...I wasn't trying to pry into the company's affairs."

  "Okay, never mind, I'll go take a look." Xuan Shen slipped on her slippers, turned around, and walked to the staircase. She put her hand on the wooden railing, looked up at the top of the stairs, took a deep breath, and slowly started walking up.

  It's better to say that every step is carefully considered rather than saying it's neither slow nor fast.

  He was angry about what happened last night, but she thought it wasn't that serious and was making a big deal out of nothing. Xintian said, "Women can't completely lose themselves just because they like a man; that's almost the same as self-immolation."

  She didn't just want to prove that she hadn't lost herself, but she couldn't abandon people who were also important to her just because she liked him.

  This is not a conflicting matter.

  Unconsciously arrived at his door, the door was closed tightly, knocked twice lightly, no one responded, then stretched out his hand to press on the slightly cool doorknob, and pressed down.

  Xianwen furrowed her brow because the door lock couldn't be pressed down, it was locked in reverse.

  He had expected her to come, so he locked it from inside?

  She knocked on the door again, knowing he was sulking, and didn't want to speak loudly to provoke him. In fact, she thought that these three years had passed like ten years for her, while his three years were stagnant. She should be more mature and more dignified than him, why did she have to follow his childish temperament? She should understand him instead, "Jin Cheng?"

  There is no echo in the door.

  "Jin Cheng, I apologize for what happened last night. I shouldn't have made a private appointment without telling you."

  She took a light breath, "But I and Jinrui, we've known each other since we entered this door. Among the siblings in this family, only Jinrui and Jinyue are good to me. Jinyue helps me everywhere, I don't need to say it, you also saw that day when I was beaten, Jinyue protected me like that..."

  Xuan's nose twitched, and her heart ached as well. "Jin Rui was the same; they both treated me very well. Although I came from a wealthy family, I didn't know the hardships of life. After marrying into the Pei family, Grandfather let me manage your company. He didn't ask questions, but I knew that the Pei family's company had high demands for data. If the performance wasn't good, it would be impossible to get approval from the head of the household to allocate funds for new projects in the future. The pressure was huge; I had no experience in management, and Jin Rui helped me. When the company's performance declined, he stayed up all night helping me review meeting records and come up with response plans. I didn't understand business, and I was indecisive, so he taught me how to establish credibility. The semi-annual reports of each household in the Pei family had to be submitted to the Pei Foundation for audit. At that time, the first semi-annual report, my financial account was a mess; he helped me pull in many business deals and turned the deficit into a surplus, allowing me to pass the first financial crisis in the Pei family..."

  In her heart, Jinrui and Jinyue are equally important, that is the warmth that has comforted her for the past three years.

  How can she not give him a hand?

  At this time, the door opened and the man had changed into pajamas, his hair was half dry, apparently he had already taken a bath. The fragrance on him wafted out, it was the brand of shower gel and shampoo from three years ago, she hadn't changed it for him since then.

  Sometimes she would open his bath products and take a sniff.

  His breath always made her heart drift away, but seeing the man's elegant face filled with dark clouds and his phoenix eyes dimly lit, her heart tightened.

  He was holding her nightgown in his hand and casually tossed it onto her body. She didn't have time to react and catch it, the nightgown had already fallen to the ground.

  Last night they were together. In the morning she changed out of her pajamas, and Xiaoying washed them and put them back in his room. At this time, he threw them out, with anger.

  Those soft and lingering words by the bedside still linger in her mind, piercing her heart with every sound, unable to shake off. But his eyes, full of disappointment, disappointment, and more disappointment, yet somehow gleaming with an inexplicable light, swirling around her like a flame that she couldn't explain, illuminating the depths of his dark and profound gaze.

  He didn't sleep all night, after taking a bath, he didn't use a hair dryer on his hair, he wanted to wait for it to dry naturally.

  Waiting and waiting, she came knocking on the door, and as soon as I stood up, she started talking.

  Her words were so moving and touching that if he was Bai Jinrui now, he would definitely be moved to tears.

  But he wasn't, he was Pei Jin Cheng, listening to his wife, lost in memories, with a tone that was hard to let go of, sighing softly, exhaling quietly, with some hidden bitterness and resentment, those memories didn't have him.

  Jinyue, just one sentence, hastily passing by.

  Pei Jinrui, she had used so many, one by one, down to the smallest detail, as if she wanted to pour out even the roads they had walked together, and tell him about it.

  He didn't want to listen at all; her memories had nothing to do with him!

  The sour and swollen things in his heart surged up, causing his muscles and blood vessels to tense up. His magnanimity could only go so far. He had said that if she came back with him, it would be as if nothing had happened before, and she would still be his wife; otherwise, they would be enemies!

  He was originally a bit resentful, but at this time he heard her say it clearly, what else could he be resentful about?

  Time is thin and can't withstand grinding, but time is also a drop of water, little by little, it will always make a hole in the stone.

  What else can he be angry about?

  Having made a choice, why bother coming to his doorstep again? To say that another man is good to her.

  His heart wasn't one to hold grudges, but this kind of grudge had changed his temperament greatly, making him irritable and quick-tempered. He was fed up with this grudge. Looking at her gaze towards him with a pair of misty eyes, he said coldly, "Tomorrow, you'll go to the online gaming company for work. The things that require decisiveness are relatively few, but the investment in online gaming requires more money and time. I won't interfere with your affairs anymore, just keep up appearances outside for the sake of our family." After finishing speaking, he turned around, his gaze not lingering on her face for even a second. The door closed with a "bang" sound.

  This sound was almost like a crash in her heart, reverberating back and forth, throbbing with pain. She stood there, stunned, unable to come back to herself.

  He let her go work at an online game company?

  Not interfering with her anymore?

  Is one side of the Bao family's face enough?

  Ah!

  When the eye frame is sour, there is a feeling of something sliding in the nasal cavity, and a tingling sensation on the lips. The tip of the tongue touches the gap between the teeth, tasting the faint salty flavor on the lips, and unexpectedly biting the vermilion lip without realizing it.

  Are you an enemy?

  It's not natural, otherwise he would let her leave the company.

  He just didn't want to see her again.

  He just wants to break up with her.

  It was just a meal, it was just a quarrel, but I wanted to tell him why he had to bring Jinrui up.

  He is so overbearing, so unscrupulous, so unreasonable, so merciless and so utterly ruthless.

  Yesterday was still together, gentle and coaxing.

  Today, just one more quarrel, and we can resolutely break up.

  Pei Jin Cheng, good job!

  In just a few short months, he woke her up for several months, pulled her from hell to heaven, and then threw her from heaven to hell. What was he relying on?

  When he was happy, he pulled her hand, caring for everything. Even if a big trouble came, it could be said that it didn't matter, just a business deal. A project worth tens of billions, if the contract was completely destroyed, the compensation alone would not be less than tens of billions. But he just said lightly, "It doesn't matter."

  When he was unhappy, he threw away her clothes and drove her away.

  She had been told since she was a child that it's hard to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

  Mr. Pei said that it's always been difficult for the daughters-in-law in the Pei family.

  Since he was young, Grandfather Shen also liked to say to the women who married into the Shen family that it's never easy being a daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

  She married into the Pei family. The grandfather of the Pei family said: From now on, you are no longer Miss Shen, but Mrs. Pei...

  Alas!

  The young lady of the Shen family can cause trouble everywhere, scolding her grandfather, scolding her parents, and scolding her brother, just like Jin Yue.

  The daughter-in-law of the Pei family should be tolerant in all things, humble in all things, not arrogant or impatient, and respond to all things thoroughly, just like her.

  Jinyue, if you get married in the future, will you also marry into a wealthy family?

  Her body is like a rusty machine, hard to move, hard to shift, struggling to bend down and pick up clothes from the ground. A woman who doesn't know how to love herself, what right does she have to shed tears?

  Last time he left her for Bai Suo, didn't he think that they would go their separate ways from then on?

  But after fussing over it for several days, she forgot about it again.

  Xin Tian said, love can easily make people lose themselves. Xin Tian said, women cannot be without self. Xin Tian said, you can be heartbroken for a man, you can grieve for a man, but you cannot lose yourself and the ability to love yourself for a man.

  Otherwise, you don't deserve to be human.

  She thought, poor thing, what have you been through to have such a great awakening? Now, no matter where you are in that vast forest, you can be carefree and not hurt yourself. Is it because you've gone through storms that you see the rainbow now?

  Xun slowly turned and went upstairs, holding her pajamas in his hand. He threw them to her, and she threw them into the trash can on the landing.

  He sent her to an online gaming company.

  She didn't let her go to Nature C, it must have been a well-thought-out decision. The online game is now in public testing and will require a lot of investment later on.

  Men are always more decisive than women, at this time, he is so calm and can distinguish between public and private matters.

  Back in the room, she took a bath and came out to send a message to Xintian on her phone. The pink phone made her distracted, it was given by him, but when she lost her phone, he bought a new one for her the next day, which was not cheap. The pink girl's sentiment, although she didn't like pink at first, later she started to like this soft and elegant pearl pink, the more she looked at it, the more temperament it showed.

  From disliking to liking, but it's because of his gift.

  The diamonds were full and grainy, the lights in the room weren't very bright, but the cutting craftsmanship of the diamonds was so perfect that the cut surfaces reflected a little bit of light, which could be folded back and forth, making them exceptionally dazzling. The dazzling lights made her eyes ache, swell, and sour.

  She hastily lifted her head to stare at the ceiling, her eyes wide open, taking deep breaths. Those gasping sounds were hoarse and strained, each one wrenching at her nerves. She bit her lip, barely holding back those precious tears that threatened to spill out.

  Xin Tian said, what's the point of not crying in front of people? If you have the guts, don't cry even when you're alone behind closed doors! If you have the guts, be open and let go whether it's in front of or behind people!

  What's wrong?!

  "What a pity" are two words that are so heart-wrenching and heartbreaking.

  There is a kind of person who knows how to face up to things, doesn't avoid them, dares to strive for what they want and isn't afraid to stand up for themselves.

  Is she?

  No!

  So she could only force back her tears.

  Otherwise, it can't be done.

  The phone was pinched in her hand, propped up on the bed, with her head still tilted back, and her blow-dried hair still hanging down. She raised her hand, and her five fingers combed through her hair as she let out a sigh. The diamond ring hurt her hand, and she remained calm for a while before sending a text message to Xīn Tián: "Little heart, can you see him?"

  The information quickly came back, "That dead old man didn't care about me at all, he was disgusted with me for ruining his reputation, so think of another way."

  Xuan let out a sigh, biting her lip slightly, feeling a bit guilty, "Did I get you scolded again?"

  "No big deal, I have a thick skin and getting scolded is nothing new to me. I don't feel embarrassed at all. In fact, I think he should have yelled louder and stood in front of the media to scold me properly, that would be more effective, haha."

  "Excuse me."

  "Stop being so pretentious, go to sleep first, and think of another way tomorrow."

  "Uh-huh, goodnight."

  Also don't know if it's because of Xin Tian sending a message, but Xin Tian's self-deprecating humor infected her, and that night, she slept exceptionally well.

  Not only did I sleep well, but I also overslept, jumped out of bed to wash my face, moisturize, apply light makeup, change clothes, and then rush downstairs to take the electric car to the main house.

  When we arrived at the main house, everyone had almost finished eating.

  "The young mistress has arrived." The servant shouted respectfully, attracting everyone's attention.

  Her expression was somewhat embarrassed, she nodded slightly, scratched her head, and walked over. Jin Yue quickly moved a stool for her and asked with concern, "Sister, why are you so late today?"

  Pei Li also asked, "A Xuan, are you sick?"

  Pei Jin Cheng slightly tilted his head, gazing at her face for a moment, almost imperceptibly letting out a sigh of relief. He then put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the warm towel, and wiped his mouth.

  Xuan smiled as she took the servant's porridge, looking at Pei Li and said apologetically, "No, because I slept too soundly and overslept, sorry."

  "It doesn't matter, you need to rest more, your workload is usually heavy." As soon as Pei Li said this, someone in the room felt unhappy, especially the people from the second and third branches. They always thought that Pei Li was biased towards Shen Xuan, with higher expectations for everyone else but always showing favoritism towards her time and time again.

  If it were someone else who arrived at the main house for dinner when everyone had already sat down, they would have been scolded with some kind of moral lesson by now.

  Pei Jin Cheng stood up and bowed slightly to his elder, "I'm going to the company."

  He glanced at Shen Xuan, thinking that he'd better leave quickly, otherwise, looking at her sleepy face would ignite a fire within him.

  Pei Jin Cheng just took a step forward when Shen Xuan asked with concern, "Jin Rui didn't come for dinner? Is he sick?"

  The man's fist clenched at his side with a "hiss"!
