The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

"If my dad meets you tomorrow and thinks you're a jerk, and tries to forcibly take me back home... would you dare to try and snatch me away?"

Chen Zhi looked at Pei Ningxue, who was holding him with a serious expression, and suddenly smiled.

He reached out and pinched her chin, his thumb caressing her delicate lips.

"Pei Ningxue, you've only ever had one man in your life, and you can't escape me."

Pei Ningxue looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly leaned in and bit his chin.

She didn't use much force; it was less like biting and more like stamping.

"You're smart to know what's good for you." She let go of Chen Zhi's lap, climbed up, and stretched. "Let's go, Mr. Chen."

"Where to?"

"Isn't today our top-secret statutory holiday?" Pei Ningxue, barefoot on the carpet, turned around and raised an eyebrow at him. "Staying at home is so boring. I'm going out shopping, just the two of us."

Half an hour later.

Chen Zhi casually threw on a gray hooded sweatshirt and loose sweatpants, while Pei Ningxue pulled out the same style of white sweatshirt, paired with slim-fitting light blue jeans and canvas shoes.

Her long hair was casually tied into a high ponytail. She wore no makeup, yet her natural beauty was captivating.

"Where's the car?" Pei Ningxue looked around.

Chen Zhi didn't say anything, and somehow found a bicycle.

Chen Zhi climbed onto the car seat, put one foot on the ground, and patted the small mudguard on the back seat: "President Pei, get in the car."

Pei Ningxue's eyes widened: "You want me to sit here?"

"What? You're used to riding in a Rolls-Royce and look down on our green mode of transportation?" Chen Zhi deliberately provoked her. "If you don't dare to ride in one, fine, I'll just go for a stroll by myself."

"Who says I wouldn't dare!"

She walked over, turned sideways, and carefully sat down on the back seat. As soon as she was settled, Chen Zhi suddenly pushed off the pedal, and the bicycle shot off with a "whoosh".

"Ah! Chen Zhi, slow down!" Pei Ningxue exclaimed in fright, instinctively grabbing Chen Zhi's waist with both hands.

A gentle breeze blew in, carrying a slight chill, but it also swept away all my worries.

Chen Zhi deliberately chose to go through those narrow old alleys.

Blue bricks and gray tiles, a mottled red-painted gate, an old man sunbathing at the entrance, and a tabby cat that occasionally darts out.

The bicycle bumped along the stone road.

Pei Ningxue was initially tense and nervous, but gradually she relaxed.

She pressed her cheek against Chen Zhi's broad back, listening to the wind whistling in her ears.

"Chen Zhi—" she suddenly shouted.

"What—" Chen Zhi responded in the wind.

"Ride faster!"

Chen Zhi smiled, then pushed off with both legs, and the bicycle sped through the alley.

Pei Ningxue's clear laughter echoed through the alley.

She is no longer the eldest daughter of the Pei family, nor the CFO of Deep Space Technology, nor does she have those troublesome "younger sisters".

At this moment, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl, holding the boy she liked, running wild in the spring of the capital.

The bicycle eventually stopped at the entrance of a bustling pedestrian street.

The two pushed the cart, blending into the bustling crowd.

Chen Zhi bought two skewers of candied hawthorn from a roadside stall and handed one to Pei Ningxue.

Pei Ningxue bit through the crisp, sweet syrup on the outside, her eyes narrowed from the sourness, but she couldn't help but take a second bite.

The two walked and browsed along the way, and finally went into an old shop that sells handmade woven products.

The shop is small, and the walls are covered with all kinds of exquisite knots and fabrics.

The shop was run by an elderly woman with gray hair, who was wearing reading glasses and knitting behind the counter.

Pei Ningxue took a fancy to a pair of red safety buckle bracelets and held them up in her hands.

"Young lady, you have excellent taste." The old lady put down the yarn in her hands and looked at them with a smile. "This is something I knitted myself, for good luck and protection. You two newlyweds are so handsome, you look like you stepped out of a painting standing together."

Chen Zhigang wanted to explain that they were still students.

A sweet voice came from the side.

"Thank you, Grandma." Pei Ningxue didn't argue, naturally taking Chen Zhi's arm, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "My husband is so good to me, we'll take these peace pendants."

Chen Zhi turned to look at Pei Ningxue.

The girl's profile looked exceptionally soft under the dim shop lights, and her "my husband" was spoken with utmost naturalness, without the slightest hesitation, as if they had truly lived most of their lives in this alley.

Chen Zhi gripped her hand tightly and took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay.

As we left the cultural and creative store, it was already getting dark.

The two unknowingly wandered to Shichahai.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the shimmering lake surface, the weeping willows on the shore swayed in the wind, and the neon lights of the bar street in the distance began to light up.

Pei Ningxue leaned against the white jade railing, still holding the half-eaten candied hawthorn in her hand, gazing at the lake in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zhi walked to her side.

"I was thinking..." Pei Ningxue turned her head and looked at Chen Zhi, "If only time could stop at this moment."

Chen Zhi didn't say anything, but simply put his hands behind his back and suddenly took them out like a magician.

A bunch of red roses.

The petals were still covered with glistening water droplets, looking delicate and beautiful.

He bought this from a roadside flower shop while Pei Ningxue was watching the clay figurine making.

"This is for you, my love." Chen Zhi handed the flowers to her.

Pei Ningxue stared blankly at Chen Zhi, her eyes suddenly reddening for some reason.

"What are you standing there for? Don't you want it?" Chen Zhi teased her deliberately. "If you don't want it, I'll throw it in the lake."

"You dare!" Pei Ningxue snatched the roses and hugged them tightly to her chest.

She lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers.

next second.

Amidst the bustling crowds of tourists, bathed in the last rays of the setting sun.

Pei Ningxue suddenly stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Chen Zhi's neck, and kissed him without any hesitation.

She nibbled on Chen Zhi's lips. She had given him her heart years ago, and now she had given him everything.

This is probably how my life will be; I can't escape it anymore.

Tourists passing by couldn't help but turn their heads in surprise.

Pei Ningxue collapsed into Chen Zhi's arms only when she could no longer breathe.

"Chen Zhi." She leaned against his chest, her voice trembling slightly.

"Um."

"Remember this, I'm your wife." Pei Ningxue gripped his clothes tightly. "Even if my dad points a gun at you tomorrow, you can't hand me over."

"Don't worry." Chen Zhi rubbed her head, his tone relaxed yet ruthless, "No one can take a woman who has entered the Chen family home away."

The two held hands and walked slowly back.

My spare work phone in the bag suddenly vibrated briefly.

Pei Ningxue turned off her personal phone before leaving home today, but this backup phone was specifically used to receive the most urgent business information.

She stopped and took out her phone to look at it.

Chen Zhi leaned over and took a look.

It was a text message sent by Pei Dongcheng's personal secretary.

"President Pei, the Chairman will be arriving at Daxing Airport at 9:00 AM tomorrow. Please make sure to pick him up on time."

Chen Zhi took Pei Ningxue's hand.

"Let's go, Mr. Pei." Chen Zhi smiled. "Let's go back and recharge. We'll meet my father-in-law tomorrow."
