The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

A soft gurgling sound came from the kitchen.

Chen Zhi turned off the heat and lifted the lid of the clay pot.

The savory aroma of preserved eggs and the rich flavor of lean meat, mixed with the sweet aroma of rice oil, instantly fill the air.

He took a white porcelain bowl, filled it to the brim, sprinkled a pinch of chopped scallions on top, and then carried the bowl back to his bedroom.

Pei Ningxue remained in the same position as before, with her back to the door.

The black silk slip dress spread out smoothly, one shoulder strap slipping down to the elbow, revealing a fair and rounded shoulder.

There were also a few conspicuous red marks on his shoulders.

"President Pei, breakfast is ready." Chen Zhi placed the bowl on the bedside table.

The person on the bed didn't move and ignored him completely.

Pretending to be asleep, huh?

Chen Zhi laughed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to pull the person and the blanket into his arms.

"What are you doing!" Pei Ningxue couldn't keep up the act anymore and reached out to push his chest, but her whole body was sore and weak that her strength was like tickling Chen Zhi.

"What are you doing? Serving our Deep Space Technology's CFO a meal." Chen Zhi helped her up and let her lean on his shoulder.

Pei Ningxue turned her face to one side, as if she didn't want to talk to you.

Chen Zhi wasn't annoyed. He scooped up a spoonful of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, blew on it carefully, and then brought it to her lips.

"Here, I've blew on it, it's not hot anymore."

Pei Ningxue pursed her lips tightly, refusing to open her mouth.

"What? Do I have to feed you with my mouth?" Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow and pretended to put the spoon into his own mouth.

Pei Ningxue was startled and quickly turned her head, biting the spoon and swallowing the porridge.

"That's a good boy." Chen Zhi smiled with satisfaction and continued to feed him spoonful by spoonful.

Pei Ningxue nestled in his arms like a little girl, obediently opening her mouth to eat the porridge.

As Chen Zhi watched her chew with her cheeks puffed out, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

"Snapped!"

Pei Ningxue slapped his hand away without any politeness.

"Don't touch me."

"Fine, fine, I won't hit you." Chen Zhi wasn't angry even after being hit, and scooped up another spoonful and handed it over.

Chen Zhi fed her spoonful by spoonful, and Pei Ningxue ate bite by bite.

The woman ate quietly, chewing slowly and deliberately, but kept her eyes down, resolutely avoiding any eye contact with Chen Zhi.

Soon, the whole bowl of porridge was gone.

A grain of rice stuck to the corner of Pei Ningxue's mouth.

Chen Zhi simply extended his thumb to wipe it off for her, then naturally put it in his own mouth.

Pei Ningxue frowned in disgust: "Aren't you disgusting?"

"Even helping my wife eat is disgusting?" Chen Zhi put the empty bowl back on the bedside table.

Pei Ningxue ignored him again.

Chen Zhi wanted to pinch her cheek: "Why aren't you talking to me? Have you lost your mind?"

Pei Ningxue slapped his hand away and moved to the side: "I don't want to talk to you."

"That's just unreasonable." Chen Zhi put the empty bowl back on the bedside table. "The deed is done. Weren't you pretty arrogant when you used to provoke me every day at the company and hook my chin with your foot? Now that everything has happened, you're regretting it?"

"I regret it!"

Pei Ningxue gritted her teeth and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at Chen Zhi.

"I regret meeting such a scumbag like you!"

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes even reddened.

"I should have pretended not to hear you and completely ignored you when you tried to talk to me!"

Chen Zhi leaned over and pulled her back into his arms.

Pei Ningxue struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she simply let him hug her.

"That's not up to you." Chen Zhi rested his chin on her hair, inhaling the faint scent of shampoo. "If you ignore me, I'll cling to you. I'll follow you wherever you go until you pay attention to me."

Pei Ningxue snorted coldly: "Shameless."

"Yeah, I'm a scoundrel," Chen Zhi readily admitted. "Who told you to be so beautiful and able to manage such a huge operation as Deep Space Technology for me? Where else can I find such a good CFO?"

"You're just using me as free labor!"

"Nonsense, I clearly see you as my boss's wife."

Pei Ningxue looked up and glared at him.

"How annoying."

"I really like it," Chen Zhi replied quickly.

Pei Ningxue was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed, and she stubbornly said, "You're so annoying!"

"like."

"Hate!"

"like."

The two of them started arguing on the bed like elementary school kids, engaging in a pointless tug-of-war.

Pei Ningxue was furious and opened her mouth to bite his shoulder.

Chen Zhi was prepared and slightly dodged to the side, then leaned down and pecked her lips.

"I like you." Chen Zhi's voice softened a bit.

Pei Ningxue froze, buried her face in Chen Zhi's chest, and muttered something softly.

"Annoying..."

The two hugged quietly for a while.

The bedroom was filled with a lazy and cozy atmosphere. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the floor, making time seem to slow down.

Chen Zhi played with Pei Ningxue's hair, wondering if he should give her a few days off.

Just as Chen Zhi was feeling peaceful and content, Pei Ningxue in his arms suddenly stirred.

"Chen Zhi".

"Um?"

Pei Ningxue casually dropped the bombshell: "My dad will arrive in the capital tomorrow."

Chen Zhi's hand, which was around her waist, suddenly trembled.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Chen Zhi was shocked.

My father-in-law has come knocking on my door!

Who is Pei Dongcheng? He's a ruthless character who controls billions of dollars in assets, a cunning old fox who's been navigating the business world for decades.

The worst part is that I just took advantage of him last night, this precious daughter who has been pampered since childhood!

If they meet tomorrow and Pei Dongcheng notices something amiss, wouldn't he just send over several truckloads of bodyguards to dump him into the Huangpu River?

Seeing Chen Zhi's alarmed expression, Pei Ningxue's lips curled into a triumphant smile.

"Why did I tell you sooner?" Pei Ningxue's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude. "If I told you sooner, would you be able to bully his daughter so easily after my dad leaves?"

"Um... Mr. Pei," Chen Zhi swallowed, trying to make a last-ditch effort, "What time is your dad's flight tomorrow? Should I pick him up from the airport? Or, in my capacity as CEO of Deep Space Technology, could I formally invite him to a banquet?"

Pei Ningxue looked at him with a half-smile: "Is President Chen feeling guilty?"

"Why would I feel guilty?" Chen Zhi stubbornly insisted, "I'm doing this out of respect for my elders!"

"Alright, stop pretending." Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes at him. "I'll send the flight information to your phone later. You'll come to the airport with me tomorrow."

She sat up straight and pulled the slipped bra strap back up.

"Okay, I got it." Chen Zhi nodded. "I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and we'll go together."

Pei Ningxue hummed in satisfaction and lay back down in bed: "I'll sleep a little longer."

Seeing Pei Ningxue close her eyes again, Chen Zhi gently closed the bedroom door and walked into the living room.

Chen Zhi leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

These days are getting more and more unpredictable.
