Cui Jinxiu returned home and immediately found her husband Pei Zhixuan.

Of course, she didn't need to describe it in detail, because the bodyguards sent by her husband had already reported everything that happened at the banquet to their real master.

Pei Zhixuan often feels ashamed to have a wife who can have a seizure in public at any time. To be honest, the only reason he can still tolerate this lunatic is that he doesn't want to fall out with his son.

Seeing Cui Jinxiu coming in, he said coldly: "Tell me, what are you crazy about?"

However, Cui Jinxiu was not crazy at all at this moment. Instead, she was extremely sober and excited. She came close to her husband and shouted without any context: "Husband, our grandson is still alive!"

Pei Zhixuan exclaimed "Ah?" He was fully aware of what Cui Jinxiu had done back then. He also felt very sorry when the child was beaten later.

Seeing that he was looking at her seriously, Cui Jinxiu immediately began to explain with great excitement, telling her husband the whole story.

Pei Zhixuan dropped the pen in his hand. He suddenly became a grandfather, but there was no joy on his face. He frowned and thought about the whole thing in his mind. He asked the key question: "So... Pei Du doesn't know that the child is his own flesh and blood?"

"Yeah, isn't this a coincidence? Who knew they would meet again!" Cui Jinxiu became even more excited and kept talking, "I originally thought that Omega wanted to use the child to blackmail A'Du, but after a careful investigation, I found that it was not the case at all. The child has the same surname as his mother, Wen Zhiyao... And you would never have thought that Omega is actually Wen Jierui's biological son! I saw him at the banquet, and his eyes are exactly the same!"

In Cui Jinxiu's opinion, things were going smoothly. Her precious grandson was still alive, Wen Qiu and his son were in love, and now she knew that Wen Qiu had such a background, which made him completely worthy of the status of the Pei family. Then she looked up the almanac and chose an auspicious day for the two children to get married, and everyone was happy!
She really didn't like Wen Qiu, but she later thought about it and came to terms with it - isn't marriage between rich families just like that? The most important thing is that her son likes her, so she, as a mother, just endured it. Besides, Wen Qiu was an omega of excellent sex, and his belly was also good. His first child was an excellent baby. He could have several more children in the future, and have many children and grandchildren...

However, Pei Zhixuan slowly stroked his chin, his face full of thoughtful wrinkles, and he seemed to be thinking about something completely different. After listening to her long speech, he just laughed briefly: "You want me to welcome that male prostitute into the Pei family?"

"Husband..." Cui Jinxiu was stunned, "After all, it was A'du who chose him. It's rare that he likes someone..."

"You don't have to worry about this matter." Pei Zhixuan waved his hand, then thought of something and nodded to his wife, "This is a good thing, Jinxiu, it's rare that you did something sensible."

Cui Jinxiu had no idea what he was praising her for, but this was the first time her husband had praised her in several years, and she couldn't help but smile happily.

/
Pei Du received the information almost at the same time as the banquet incident happened. Just seeing Cui Jinxiu's name appearing side by side with Wen Qiu, he began to feel a headache.

He knew the power of his mother very well, and also knew how Wen Qiu would never give in. The collision of these two chemical elements caused a raging mushroom cloud to rise in his head. He immediately dropped the matters at hand, called the people present to control the situation, and planned to drive to the banquet.

But within two minutes, the other end sent a message that the problem had been solved, in a way that made him even more unhappy - Wen Jierui's ghost was still lingering around and even followed him to the banquet. As long as he didn't keep a close eye on his baby, he would be coveted by others everywhere.

That night, when he took Wen Qiu back, his lover seemed emotionally stable. She downplayed the incident of Cui Jinxiu picking on him and did not mention the existence of Wen Jierui at all.

Pei Du turned the page calmly, pretending he hadn't noticed anything.

But that night, the warmth in his arms suddenly disappeared. Pei Du opened his eyes and saw Wen Qiu quietly sitting up in his pajamas, going to the balcony alone to get some fresh air, and when he came back, the smell of tobacco still lingered on his body.

The next day, the men sent by Pei Du observed Wen Qiu getting into a car, whose destination was a manor purchased by Wen Jierui.

Obviously, he had been hurt like that, but he always looked back, always gave opportunities, always gave others opportunities to take advantage of him. Although Pei Du was happy to take advantage of this, he didn't want others to take advantage of it.

That night, he prepared a table of delicious food and waited patiently for Wen Qiu to come home. His cooking skills gradually became more sophisticated, and the dishes he made were delicious, but Wen Qiu had no appetite - Wen Jierui had prepared countless delicacies during the day and filled him with too much unnecessary fatherly love.

"Did you go to see your father?" Pei Du asked.

Wen Qiu was surprised for a moment, but he hid it well and answered honestly: "Yes - I happened to meet him at the celebration banquet before."

"Wen Qiu," Pei Du called his name very seriously, "Do you remember what he did to you? When you needed him the most, he ignored you. Now that you need him, he comes back to admit his mistake. First of all, he is not worthy of being a father."

"I know," Wen Qiu said with his head down, "but he was deceived by He Yu before, after all. It's not that he doesn't want to find me..."

"He Yu?" Pei Du raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that his relationship with He Yu has eased recently, but they haven't severed their father-son relationship yet."

"..." Wen Qiu was speechless, because he had also heard the general idea - Wen Jierui and He Yu were like two tigers on a boat, on the one hand they were fighting each other to the death, but on the other hand they had to maintain the boat for common interests, and they actually formed an inseparable symbiotic relationship.

"Qiuqiu," Pei Du's voice softened, "I always thought you were a very sober person. I don't understand why you still want to give him a chance."

Wen Qiu lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food without any taste, then he slowly said, "I just want to take back what belongs to me."

"What is it?" Pei Du asked.

"When my grandfather passed away four years ago, he left me a legacy of 10 million pounds. But because no one could contact me at the time, the legacy has been divided up among the other heirs." Wen Qiu said, "Today I went to see Wen Jierui, and he promised to fight for me to get back what belongs to me. He has already hired a lawyer in the UK, and if nothing unexpected happens, he and I will go to the UK soon." He was still hesitant about this matter and didn't know how to start. Now that Pei Du has made it clear, he dumped everything out, and then looked at Pei Du nervously, waiting for his response.

Pei Du sneered in his heart. He could hear Wen Jierui's plan from a distance. The inheritance lawsuit involving dozens of wealthy heirs was so complicated that it would take several years to settle. Wen Qiu would have to fight with him for a long time, and his lover was so soft-hearted. It would be easy for the old and sick man to pretend to be pitiful.

"Ten million pounds, right?" Pei Du covered the back of his hand with his big hand and said lightly, "I'll give it to you."

Wen Qiu looked up at him in surprise, and his fingers trembled in his palm.

"Cash, stocks, or any other asset you like, I can give it to you." Pei Du held his hand to his lips and kissed the delicate ring on his ring finger. "In fact, after we get married, everything I have will be yours. But I only have one request for you, don't easily forgive those who have hurt you."

Wen Qiu suddenly withdrew his hand. He was very moved by what Pei Du said, but he still didn't want Pei Du's money.

"I know your intentions... but there's really no need for that. I'm not short of the money, but I want to get something that truly belongs to me."

"Why is what I give not yours?" Pei Du asked unhappily, "Why do you always distinguish between yours and mine so clearly?"

It's always like this, it seems like we are very close, but it's always like holding water carefully in the palm of your hand, and it will leak out from the gaps between your fingers if you don't pay attention. If you want to pick the beloved rose, you have to break the countless thorns entangled outside with your bare hands.

Wen Qiu looked at him, but he didn't know what to say so that this person who had never felt lacking could experience the anxiety and fear of having nothing. And the matter of the child, he had hidden a lot from Pei Du. He was really afraid that Pei Du had praised him too highly, so high that if he accidentally fell one day, he would be doomed.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. A deep sense of exhaustion and frustration surged up again, and he seemed to have slipped back into depression. Her lips trembled, and even speaking became difficult. Her light green eyes looked at him, and her pupils trembled slightly.

Pei Du sighed, stretched out his hands and held him in his arms, patting his back slowly, as if coaxing an uneasy child, "Don't worry, I'm not blaming you."

Wen Qiu leaned on his shoulder, smelled the faint scent of pheromones on him, and said "hmm" softly.

"We recently acquired a piece of land in the southern suburbs. How about giving it to you? You can build whatever you want, shops, cinemas, amusement parks, whatever you like," Pei Du promised. It was a piece of land that could earn 100 million yuan in rent every year. "But don't go to see Jie Rui again, okay?"

Wen Qiu knew very well what he wanted her to give up, which was all his escape routes. If everything she had came from him, then she would also belong to him completely. His love was authoritarian and overbearing, it had to be unique and loyal.

But he was so tired that he didn't want to think about anything. Wen Qiu heard his relieved yet tired voice, "...Okay."

In fact, he had no choice. He would agree in the end, and even feel a little sweet in his heart, because he felt that he was really very, very important to him.

Pei Du smiled, kissed his eyes and cheeks, and said, "Come home with me during the New Year."

"Me, go to your house?" Wen Qiu looked at him doubtfully. Having seen Cui Jinxiu's power, he didn't think that going home with Pei Du was as simple as seeing his parents.

Pei Du seemed to still be bothered by the celebration banquet and said seriously: "I need to let them know who you are and how to treat you correctly. You don't have to please any of them because their opinions are totally unimportant."

"Also," Pei Du's hands went up to him, interlocking his fingers, his dark eyes glowing with tenderness, "Let's get engaged after the New Year."

/
Pei Du kept his word and began to prepare for the engagement banquet wholeheartedly. He was a person with a strong sense of ritual, so he naturally had to do this important event, which was currently the top priority in his life, personally and devote all his energy to it.

He visited more than a dozen locations before finally choosing the ceremony venue he wanted. He personally determined the decorations and bouquets to be used, and repeatedly discussed the details of the dress with the tailor... Although busy, the preparation process was enjoyable in itself. He was as happy as a male bird building a love nest.

——Until the men he sent out brought him a piece of news, which was like a bolt from the blue and shattered this beautiful fantasy.

When he sent those people out, he just wanted to follow Wen Qiu's clues to find out Wen Jierui's movements at first.

He didn't expect to find out more things because of this opportunity.

In the office, Pei Du stared at a stack of appraisal reports on the table, his hands on his forehead, and remained silent for a long time. The terrifying aura around him made the intern assistant who knocked on the door tremble with fear, and the coffee in his hand spilled on the ground.

"Boss Pei, there's a meeting coming up..."

Pei Du didn't even raise his head, but used a harsh tone he had never heard before, and coldly spat out two words: "Get out."
