The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi scooped Pei Ningxue up in his arms. Pei Ningxue was suddenly lifted into the air and instinctively wrapped her arms around Chen Zhi's neck, but she still refused to give in.

"Mr. Chen, are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Zhi strode towards the bedroom, kicked open the door, and threw her onto the large, soft bed.

Pei Ningxue reclined, her black silk nightgown disheveled, her fair skin gleaming in the dim light. She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation and a glistening moisture: "How about it, scared?"

Chen Zhi braced his hands on either side of her, looking down at this CFO who was usually so decisive and ruthless at the negotiating table.

"Afraid?" Chen Zhi sneered. Now that things have come to this, how could he not take the meat that's been delivered to his door? "President Pei, today I'll show you that in the face of absolute strength, all schemes are just paper tigers."

Pei Ningxue tilted her head back and poked Chen Zhi's chest with her slender fingers: "You're all talk and no action. Do you dare?"

"You'll see if I dare."

Chen Zhi stopped wasting words and directly suppressed the attack.

"Ah!" Pei Ningxue exclaimed in surprise.

The bedroom door was slammed shut.

The motion-sensor light in the entryway turned on because of the noise, and then slowly turned off a few seconds later.

The entire duplex apartment fell silent, with only faint whispers and sounds coming from the bedroom that made one blush and their heart race.

Pei Ningxue, who is usually aloof, arrogant, and extremely controlling, has completely shed all pretense at this moment. It turns out that the attribute of high attack and low defense is ingrained in her bones.

"Chen Zhi... my legs are sore."

"Now you know to beg for mercy? Weren't you pretty arrogant when you were hooking my foot with your foot in the living room?"

"You...you have to be good to me from now on."

"That depends on President Pei's future performance. Will he still dare to sign those unfair terms so easily?"

"I won't do it again... Chen Zhi, my legs are really sore, please put them down."

As night deepened, Beijing outside the window remained brightly lit, while in the top-floor duplex of Wanliu Academy, a battle over "husband authority" had just come to an end.

……

The next morning.

The early spring sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains that weren't fully drawn, falling directly on Pei Ningxue's face.

She lay on her side in bed, her brows slightly furrowed, a trace of lingering fatigue still visible on her once fair face. She had tossed and turned for most of the night, from initial tension and discomfort, to her reckless provocations after recovering, and finally being utterly routed by Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi showed her with his actions what the physical strength and anger of a young person were like.

Pei Ningxue finally fell into a deep sleep late into the night.

Chen Zhi woke up very early. With the soul of two lifetimes combined with the body at its peak at nineteen, he was able to fully recover after a short rest.

He leaned against the headboard, looking at Pei Ningxue's delicate sleeping face, and thought about what kind of loving breakfast he would make in the kitchen later to reward this CFO who had devoted herself to Deep Space Technology.

As he was thinking, Chen Zhi shifted his body slightly.

This slight movement immediately startled Pei Ningxue, who was in a light sleep. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Did I wake you up?" Chen Zhi leaned closer, his voice languid with the sleepiness of early morning. "I was thinking of sneaking up to make you breakfast."

Pei Ningxue stared at Chen Zhi for a few seconds, seemingly reloading her memories from last night.

Once she was fully awake, her first words were two blunt and unforgiving: "Scumbag."

Chen Zhi laughed and reached out to pinch her cheek: "You still like that scumbag?"

Pei Ningxue slapped his hand away, buried half her face in the blanket, revealing only her cold eyes: "I just like you, so what? But if you don't like me, if you're cheating on me with several other women, you're a scumbag."

"Okay, okay, yes, yes, I'm a jerk." Chen Zhishun smoothed things over. "Shall I go fry you an egg now?"

Pei Ningxue didn't speak and remained quiet for a while, seemingly wanting to turn over and get out of bed.

As soon as she moved, she gasped, her brows furrowed, and she froze instantly.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this: "Serves you right for provoking me last night. Now you know how powerful I am, huh? You're both bad at the game and love to play games."

These words directly offended Pei Ningxue.

She turned her head sharply, glaring at Chen Zhi, her competitive spirit instantly ignited.

"Me, bad?" Pei Ningxue sneered, switching into mocking mode. "I've seen male leads in movies who are over an hour long, and you're only a dozen minutes. Are you incapable?"

Chen Zhi's smile froze instantly.

No man could stand hearing such words.

"A movie?" Chen Zhi laughed angrily, grinding his teeth as he leaned closer to her. "President Pei, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the film industry? It's all about editing! Do you understand editing? Cutting several hours of footage into one hour!"

"Oh," Pei Ningxue replied expressionlessly, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Anyway, I've seen others spend over an hour, but you only spent ten minutes. You're both incompetent and stubborn."

Chen Zhishen took a deep breath.

Can he tolerate this? If he does, how will he ever hold his head high at Deep Space Technology again? How will he ever be able to keep the CFO in check?

"Alright, looks like last night's lesson wasn't profound enough." Chen Zhi threw off the covers and pounced on him. "You've forgotten what the world is like again, haven't you? Today I'll show you what the uncut, director's extended version is all about!"

"Hey! Chen Zhi, what are you doing... Have you gone crazy this early in the morning?!"

"Shut up and really appreciate the difference between ten minutes and an hour!"

"Well……"

……

More than an hour later.

The bedroom returned to calm.

Pei Ningxue huddled under the covers, not even a single hair showing. She didn't even have the strength to curse Chen Zhi anymore; she felt like her whole body was falling apart.

Chen Zhi leaned against the headboard, feeling refreshed and in a great mood.

"So, President Pei, are you satisfied with this uncut version?" Chen Zhi teased her deliberately.

A muffled snort came from under the covers; the person was too lazy to even utter a rebuttal.

Seeing that things were going well, Chen Zhi decided to stop, lifting the covers to get out of bed: "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. You rest a little longer, I'll go make you breakfast."

Before getting out of bed, Chen Zhi leaned down, wanting to kiss her on the lips as a perfect ending to their morning exercise.

As soon as Pei Ningxue saw his face approaching, she immediately looked at him with disgust, stretched out her hands, pressed down hard on Chen Zhi's chin, and pushed him away forcefully.

"Go away, don't kiss me." Pei Ningxue's voice was full of disgust.

Chen Zhi was taken aback: "What's wrong? We've been married for ages, we've been completely naked twice already, can't I even kiss you?"

Pei Ningxue's eyes widened, her cheeks flushed crimson: "You... don't you know what you just did? And you still dared to kiss me?"

Chen Zhi blinked, savoring the battle that had just taken place.

He had just seen those fair, slender, and perfectly rounded jade feet dangling right next to his face.

Isn't this normal?

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Zhi retorted shamelessly. "I don't mind, and you're complaining?"

"You pervert!" Pei Ningxue grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it at him. "Get out there and make your breakfast!"

Chen Zhi caught the pillow steadily and laughed twice: "If you don't want to kiss me, then you don't have to. You wait, I'll get you something good to eat to replenish your energy."

After saying that, Chen Zhi put on a T-shirt and sweatpants and strolled out of the bedroom.

Chen Zhi skillfully cracked the eggs with one hand, and the frying pan sizzled.
