The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi slumped on the living room sofa for a few minutes, then vigorously rubbed his face.

He stood up and pushed the bedroom door open again.

Pei Ningxue lay on her side on the bed, completely wrapped in the blanket, with only half of her face showing. Hearing the door hinges turn, she didn't even lift her eyelids, her breathing perfectly steady.

Chen Zhi walked over directly, lifted a corner of the quilt and crawled inside, stretching out his long arm to pull that soft body into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Pei Ningxue struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she simply put her hand against Chen Zhi's chest. "I need to catch up on my sleep. Get out."

Chen Zhi wasn't buying it at all and leaned in closer.

Warm lips pressed against her forehead, then the tip of her nose, and finally captured her two rosy lips.

Pei Ningxue was caught off guard by Chen Zhi's intense offensive. Her hands, which had been pushing away, gradually lost their strength and ended up clinging to Chen Zhi's shoulders.

A few minutes later, Chen Zhi released her.

Pei Ningxue was panting heavily, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes glistening with tears. At this moment, she was completely a shy little woman who had been bullied badly.

"You're so annoying..." Pei Ningxue turned her face away and pressed the back of her hand against her burning cheek.

"I have to put up with this even if it bothers me." Chen Zhi rested his chin on her neck, greedily inhaling the fragrance of her hair. "We're not going anywhere today, we're just staying home."

Pei Ningxue snorted, trying to regain some ground: "Deep Space Technology has so many problems. If I don't go, what will happen to the company?"

Chen Zhi took out his phone and, in front of Pei Ningxue, opened Dai Dama's WeChat voice message.

"Old Dai, I'm handing the company over to you today. If the sky falls, you'll be the first to hold it up. President Pei and I are officially skipping work today."

Release your finger, and the voice message will be sent successfully.

Then, without hesitation, Chen Zhi pressed and held the power button, the screen went black, and he casually tossed the phone onto the carpet.

"Satisfied?" Chen Zhi looked at the person in his arms.

Pei Ningxue couldn't suppress the urge to smile, but she still forced a calm expression and glared at him, saying, "You tyrant."

"You are that wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country." Chen Zhi continued, following her words, and his hand even gave her a pinch on the waist.

Pei Ningxue was ticklish, so she curled up and hid in his arms, and the two of them wrestled around on the bed again.

As noon approached, Chen Zhi estimated that it was about time and got up to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

The apartment was filled with the rich aroma of pork rib soup.

Chen Zhi stood in the open kitchen, wearing an apron, slicing tomatoes on the cutting board.

The bedroom door opened.

Pei Ningxue finished washing up and came out, putting on a large white shirt by Chen Zhi.

The hem of the shirt just covered the top of her thighs, leaving her two straight and slender legs exposed.

She walked barefoot on the wooden floor without making a sound.

Just as Chen Zhi was about to put the tomatoes into the pot, he suddenly felt a soft body press against his back.

She rested her chin on Chen Zhi's shoulder, tilting her head to watch him chop vegetables, her hair still slightly damp.

"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Chen Zhi tilted his head.

"I can't find my slippers."

She quietly held Chen Zhi, watching the bubbling pork rib soup in the pot, and watching Chen Zhi stir-fry tomatoes and eggs.

Pei Ningxue closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Chen Zhi smelled wonderfully of laundry detergent, mixed with the smoky aroma of the kitchen, making her feel incredibly at ease.

"Chen Zhi".

"Um?"

"If you ever go bankrupt, you'll stay home and be a full-time househusband for me," Pei Ningxue muttered with her eyes closed.

Chen Zhi laughed, stirring the eggs in the pan: "Is President Pei planning to keep me as his sugar daddy?"

"Is that not allowed?" Pei Ningxue opened her eyes, speaking with a straight face. "I own several properties, and the rent from them is enough to support you."

"Okay, that's great." Chen Zhi plated the dishes. "I'll cook for you at home every day. You'll be responsible for earning money to support the family, and I'll be responsible for being beautiful."

Pei Ningxue was amused by him and pinched his waist: "Shameless."

"Go sit down at the table, dinner is about to start." Chen Zhiguan lit the stove.

Pei Ningxue obediently let go of his hands, walked to the dining table and sat down, resting her chin on her hands and staring intently at Chen Zhi serving the dishes.

Three dishes and one soup: sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, plus a pot of corn and pork rib soup.

It looks excellent and smells wonderful.

Chen Zhi took off his apron and sat down opposite Pei Ningxue. He first ladled a bowl of soup and placed it next to her, then picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, carefully removed the bones, and fed it directly to her mouth.

Pei Ningxue opened her mouth and took a bite, the juices bursting in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mm." Pei Ningxue nodded and, following Chen Zhi's example, picked up a piece of egg and fed it to him.

The two of them fed each other, taking turns feeding each other.

Halfway through her meal, Pei Ningxue put down her chopsticks, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi handed over a tissue.

"It's nothing, I just feel... I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time." Pei Ningxue took a tissue and wiped her mouth. "I really wish I could stay home like this every day."

Chen Zhi reached across the dining table and grasped her slightly cool fingers.

"From now on, I'll set aside one day each month," Chen Zhi said, looking into her eyes. "We won't talk about work, we won't look at our phones, and nobody will be able to find us."

Pei Ningxue was slightly taken aback.

"This day is our top-secret statutory holiday." Chen Zhi squeezed her fingertips. "I'll do whatever you want with me. You can stay at home or go out for a stroll."

Pei Ningxue grasped Chen Zhi's hand in return, her lips involuntarily curving upwards, yet she still deliberately maintained a stern expression.

"You said it yourself," Pei Ningxue scoffed. "If you dare to stand me up, I'll run off with the money in the company account."

"Go ahead and take it all," Chen Zhi laughed. "If you take all the money, I'll go begging on the street. And when I beg, I'll have to wear a sign that says, 'The innocent young man who was swindled out of his entire fortune by an unscrupulous CFO.'"

"Get lost, who cheated you out of your family fortune?"

The meal was exceptionally warm and comforting.

Although Chen Zhi's act of turning off his phone brought peace today, it also meant that he had completely cut off contact with the outside world. Dai Dama, far away in the IAPM Center, was cursing Chen Zhi eight hundred times in his heart, with dark circles under his eyes.

But none of this was within Chen Zhi and Pei Ningxue's considerations.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two moved to the sofa in the living room.

A movie was playing on TV, the volume turned down low, just for background noise.

Pei Ningxue, having eaten and drunk her fill, lay lazily on Chen Zhi's lap.

Chen Zhi watched TV while fiddling with her hair.

The afternoon sun was just right, making the whole living room feel warm and cozy.

Pei Ningxue was enjoying Chen Zhi's massage when she suddenly opened her eyes, which had been slightly closed.

She was in an unusually good mood today, and even Chen Zhi seemed much more agreeable to her.

She forcibly locked those unpleasant things about Lin Wanwan and Li Zhiyi deep in the back of her mind.

She didn't want to dwell on those things today.

She just wanted to quietly enjoy this moment of exclusivity.

Halfway through the movie, the male and female leads were arguing loudly in the rain over some melodramatic misunderstanding.

Pei Ningxue suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at Chen Zhi's chin.

She stretched out her slender arm and hooked it around Chen Zhi's neck.

Chen Zhi lowered his head and met her clear eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi asked softly.

Pei Ningxue did not answer immediately, but instead gently stroked the back of Chen Zhi's neck with her fingers.

After a long while, she slowly spoke, her tone somewhat nonchalant, but her emotions more serious than ever before.

"Chen Zhi".

"Um?"

"If my dad meets you tomorrow and thinks you're a jerk, and tries to forcibly take me back..." Pei Ningxue paused, her fingers tightening slightly, "would you dare to snatch me away?"
