The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.
Chapter 269 The Incompetent Wife
Five o'clock in the morning.
As dawn broke, the hotel room in Wangjing was dimly lit.
Chen Zhi opened his eyes, feeling a little empty inside. He stared at the ceiling for about ten seconds before slowly sitting up.
Lin Wanwan, who was next to her, was still fast asleep.
She was wrapped up in the blanket, with only her plain face and half of her fair shoulder showing. There were also several obvious red marks on her shoulder, which were traces left from last night.
Chen Zhi quietly lifted the covers and got out of bed.
As soon as her foot touched the ground, she stepped on a piece of clothing. Taking two more steps forward, she saw a skirt, socks, and her own shirt with the buttons torn off scattered on the ground.
Last night was definitely a tiring night.
Chen Zhi bent down and picked up the clothes from the ground one by one, draping them over the single sofa next to him.
He walked to the French windows, pulled back the curtains a crack, looked at the empty streets outside, and began to ponder something very important.
I need to give Lin Wanwan a belated birthday present.
He worked non-stop yesterday, receiving gifts from Pei Ningxue and Li Zhiyi and giving corresponding responses. However, he forgot that his birthday was the same as Lin Wanwan's, so he had to make up for it immediately.
What would be a good gift?
Chen Zhi scratched his head, feeling that it was even more mentally taxing than starting a business.
Free bag? Free watch? Free car?
They're all too cliché.
Lin Wanwan comes from a wealthy family and is now a big star, so she doesn't care about these material things at all.
For someone like Lin Wanwan who is obsessed with romance, what she wants is emotional value.
It's romantic.
It's the kind of "ritual" that can move her to tears, making her hug herself and shed a few tears.
Chen Zhi sighed.
I really can't think of anything good to give as a gift.
He turned and walked to the bedside table, picked up his phone, and prepared to search online for "what is the most romantic gift to give a girl".
The screen lit up.
The "99+" icon popped up directly in the upper right corner of the WeChat icon.
Chen Zhi opened WeChat.
The screen was filled with messages from Pei Ningxue.
The messages were sent intermittently from 11 p.m. last night until 3 a.m.
What do you mean, Chen Zhi?
[You haven't come back by eight o'clock? Are you really dead out there?]
Who did you go to see? The singer or the law student?
[I spent so much money and effort celebrating your birthday, cooking for you, buying you a watch, and you just took advantage of it and went off to be with other women?]
[Speak! Are you playing dead?!]
You're finished.
[Chen Zhi, let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, you can forget about ever touching me again.]
【Chen Zhi, you just wait!】
【Oh.】
Okay, you're awesome.
I'll see how long you can hide.
Don't come back.
I've changed the door lock code.
Chen Zhi's expression was complicated after reading the message.
He and Lin Wanwan entered a hidden scene late last night, and he left his phone on the coffee table in the living room without checking it, so he didn't reply to any of these messages.
Pei Ningxue stood there, helplessly furious for three and a half hours.
Chen Zhi could picture the scene: Pei Ningxue sitting on the bed in her pajamas, sending messages while gritting her teeth. After sending one, she would wait thirty seconds for a reply, then send another, getting angrier and angrier with each message.
Like an incompetent wife.
Chen Zhixin felt a little guilty, but she couldn't comfort her right now; she had to solve Lin Wanwan's gift problem first.
Women understand women best. Pei Ningxue, a rich and beautiful woman of her caliber, has high standards and discerning taste. She thinks Lin Wanwan will definitely fall for the same romantic ideas.
Chen Zhi sent a message.
【woke up.】
As soon as the message was sent, the top of the screen immediately displayed "The other party is typing...".
Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow.
This woman actually got up so early?
[You still know to wake up? Why don't you just die out there?]
Chen Zhi ignored her anger and got straight to the point.
I have a question for you.
If I wanted to give you a gift, what do you think would be romantic, and what would you like?
Inside Wanliu Academy, Pei Ningxue, sporting dark circles under her eyes, stared at her phone screen, paused for a moment, and then let out a cold laugh.
Do you realize you were wrong now?
Are you trying to buy me a gift to appease me?
late!
Pei Ningxue's finger jabbed the screen hard, her expression full of arrogance and resentment.
【? 】
[Haha, no matter what gift you give me now, it's useless, because you're such a scumbag.]
Even if you sent me 9999 flowers right now, filling the entire room, and then knelt down to propose, I still wouldn't forgive you!
Chen Zhi looked at the few lines of text on the screen.
9999 flowers.
It covered the entire room.
He nodded slowly.
So it turns out women like this kind of thing.
Although Pei Ningxue said "even if... it won't happen," Chen Zhi had seen this kind of sentence structure far too many times in his two lifetimes.
The Chinese translation is: I want this, but you don't deserve it. If you actually give it to me, I might consider forgiving you.
However, this gift was not for Pei Ningxue.
So you like flowers.
Where in Beijing can I find the freshest flowers? I'm looking for high-end ones.
Pei Ningxue felt a little better after seeing the message.
That bastard still has some conscience; he knows to buy the best.
【Miss Huajian.】
Their roses are all air-freighted, and are of the highest quality.
Chen Zhi nodded in satisfaction when he saw the store name.
Okay, this is the place.
Order 9999 roses for me, enough to cover the entire room. The money will be deducted from my account.
After sending this message, Chen Zhi casually turned on WeChat's location function.
[Location sharing: Wangjing XX Hotel]
[I've sent you the address. You have a lot of connections in Beijing, so could you please expedite this and have them deliver it before 8 AM?]
The message has been sent.
The other side immediately fell silent, and their anger subsided.
The notification flashed briefly and then disappeared. "The other party is typing..."
It flashed again, then disappeared.
Chen Zhi waited for half a minute but received no reply.
Where are you? Can you help me? I'm tied up here.
This time, a red exclamation mark appeared next to the message Chen Zhi sent.
Below that was a line of small gray text.
"The message has been sent, but it was rejected by the recipient."
Chen Zhi looked at the red exclamation mark and stroked his chin.
"Tsk."
"His temper is getting worse and worse; he won't even help with something."
Since Pei Ningxue won't help, I'll have to do it myself.
Chen Zhi opened his browser and searched for "Miss Huajian".
The webpage that popped up was designed in a very sophisticated way, and Chen Zhi dialed the order hotline directly on it.
"Hello, this is Miss Huajian. How can I help you?" The customer service representative's voice was very sweet.
"Order flowers," Chen Zhi said in a low voice, walking to the window. "I want red roses."
"Okay sir, how many roses would you like? We have sets of 99 or 520 roses, beautifully packaged..."
"9999 flowers".
"Sir... how much did you say?"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers," Chen Zhi repeated. "I want to cover the entire hotel room, room 501 of the Wangjing XX Hotel."
The customer service representative gasped.
"Sir, this quantity is too large. We may not have enough stock in our store, and we will need to urgently transfer goods from other branches or even the central warehouse. Moreover... the price will be very high."
"Money is not a problem. I only have one request: the flowers must be delivered to the hotel and arranged within two hours."
"This..." The customer service representative clearly hadn't encountered such a large order before. "I'll consult the store manager right away! Please wait a moment!"
Chen Zhi hung up the phone.
Get it done.
He tossed his phone back onto the bedside table, turned, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
The florist needs time to arrange the flowers and make the arrangements, so when Lin Wanwan wakes up, she will be able to see the room full of roses.
Isn't this much better than sending a bag?
After washing his face, Chen Zhi came out of the bathroom, dried his hands, and glanced at his phone.
The florist replied.
"Sir, we've already arranged for the 9999 red roses, which are expected to arrive at the hotel around 7:30 PM. A professional will come to set them up then. Would you like us to add baby's breath or eucalyptus leaves as well?"
Chen Zhi replied, "No need, just roses, enough to cover the whole bed," and then tossed his phone back onto the bedside table.
Lin Wanwan rolled over on the bed, and the blanket slipped down a bit, revealing her smooth back and a faint red mark on her shoulder blade.
Chen Zhi went over and covered her with the blanket.
Lin Wanwan mumbled something, then shrank further under the covers, remaining asleep.
Chen Zhi sat down on the edge of the bed and began to plan his next steps.
Hua arrives at 7:30, and setting up will take at least half an hour, so it should be done around 8:00. Lin Wanwan stayed up so late last night, she'll probably sleep until at least 9:00.
The timing was perfect.
When she woke up and opened the bedroom door, she was greeted by a sea of red roses, 9999 of them, spread from the floor to the coffee table, and from the sofa to the windowsill.
Lin Wanwan's love-obsessed mind is just too much!
Chen Zhi was very satisfied with his plan.
He got dressed, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and closed the door behind him.
Traces of last night still lingered in the living room—deflated balloons, crooked ribbons, and the guitar leaning against the sofa. The cake box was open, with only a few cream stains remaining inside.
Chen Zhi tidied up the things on the coffee table, put the guitar away, and threw the deflated balloon into the trash bag.
If you're going to lay flowers, you need to make room for them.
Halfway through tidying up, my phone rang again.
It was Pei Ningxue calling.
Chen Zhi hesitated for two seconds before answering.
"Feed—"
"Chen Zhi".
Pei Ningxue's voice was excessively calm.
Chen Zhi felt a chill on his neck.
Based on his combined experience from two lifetimes, the calmer a woman speaks, the bigger the matter is.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm something."
"you say."
"Did you just ask me to order 9999 roses for you and have them delivered to room 501 of the XX Hotel in Wangjing?"
broken.
He just casually sent his location to Pei Ningxue.
Pei Ningxue isn't stupid; she could guess whose hotel room it was even with her toes.
"that……"
"You asked your girlfriend to order flowers for another woman?"
"no--"
"Chen Zhi, do you think I, Pei Ningxue, have an exceptionally good temper?"
"Let me explain—"
"No explanation needed."
Pei Ningxue's tone remained calm.
"I've already ordered it for you."
Chen Zhi was stunned.
"What?"
"9999 roses, right? I've ordered them for you, it's just a phone call away."
Chen Zhi didn't react for a moment: "You ordered it for me?"
"Yes. But I made a change."
"What was changed?"
"The color of the flower."
Chen Zhi had a feeling it was definitely not a good thing.
"What color?"
"White."
"...White roses?"
"White chrysanthemums."
"Pei Ningxue!"
"9999 white chrysanthemums are on their way." Pei Ningxue's voice finally carried a hint of a smile. "Delivered to room 501 of the Wangjing XX Hotel, signed Chen Zhi."
"Are you crazy?!"
"Am I crazy?" Pei Ningxue finally dropped the pretense. "Chen Zhi, you ate the longevity noodles I made last night, accepted the Patek Philippe I gave you, kissed me, and said 'I love you, Pei Ningxue,' then turned around and went to another woman's hotel room to spend the night. And this morning you even asked me to order flowers for her?!"
"Have you lost your conscience?!"
Chen Zhi moved the phone two centimeters away from his ear.
"I really am explaining—"
"What are you explaining?!"
"Pei Ningxue, calm down—"
"I'm very calm! I'm perfectly calm right now! I just want to tell you that your 9999 white chrysanthemums will arrive in twenty minutes! You'd better stop them before they arrive, otherwise, when your little girlfriend wakes up and sees the room full of chrysanthemums, guess what her reaction will be?"
"Pei Ningxue! Cancel it right now!"
"It can't be cancelled, it's already been loaded onto the vehicle."
"you--"
"Oh, by the way, I canceled your order of 9999 red roses. Miss Flower Garden only had that many in stock in the entire capital, and I cut off the red ones, replacing them all with white ones. Even if you reorder now, you won't be able to get any."
This woman is ruthless.
"Give me ten minutes." Chen Zhi took a deep breath. "I will give you a satisfactory explanation within ten minutes. You need to stop that truck of chrysanthemums right now."
"On what grounds?"
"Please, I'm begging you, Pei Ningxue, President Pei, Miss Pei, I'm begging you."
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.
"I want to hear you say one sentence yourself."
"What did you say?"
"I, Chen Zhi, am not worthy to say that Pei Ningxue is the best woman in the world."
"..."
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm hanging up. Chrysanthemum will be here in twenty minutes."
Chen Zhi gritted his teeth.
"Pei Ningxue is the best woman in the world, I, Chen Zhigou, am not even as good as her! Alright!"
A soft laugh finally came from the other end of the phone.
"Alright, I'll have the driver take the flowers back."
Chen Zhi let out a long breath; his back was already soaked with sweat.
"but--"
Chen Zhi's heart was in his throat again.
"I won't give you red roses either," Pei Ningxue added slowly. "If you want to send flowers, figure it out yourself."
"Smack."
The phone hangs up.
The 9999 red roses were intercepted; Pei Ningxue cleared out the florist's entire stock with a single phone call. The chrysanthemums were stopped, but now he has nothing.
Chen Zhi paced back and forth in the living room, clutching his hair.
It's 6:30 in the morning. Lin Wanwan was so exhausted last night, she could only sleep until 9:00 at most.
It takes a total of two and a half hours.
Go to another flower shop? Since Pei Ningxue has given her word, she's probably already contacted every high-end flower shop in the capital. Chen Zhi has never doubted this woman's efficiency and financial resources.
……
Everyone go to sleep now, you'll definitely see updates every morning.
