Pei Yichen: [I'm not working overtime tonight.]

To prove that Boyu Group is a very humane company, he got up to pack up his documents and prepare to leave work.

Jiang Shutong: ?

I don't understand, but I welcome it.

She immediately put down her phone and went into the kitchen to cook.

-

On the other hand, Xu Mingze, who found himself blocked, waited outside Jiang Shutong's company for two consecutive days but couldn't find her, so he went to Jiang's house instead.

Even though Jiang Muqing from the Jiang family is relentlessly pursuing him, he still wants to go.

There's no way to avoid it, since he's going to marry Jiang Shutong in the future, and Jiang Muqing, as his sister-in-law, will inevitably have to deal with him.

He arrived at the Jiang family's door and knocked. Jiang Muqing answered the door.

The moment she saw Xu Mingze standing outside the door, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Brother Mingze, you've finally come to find me..."

She immediately threw herself into Xu Mingze's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, her voice trembling with tears as she said, "Brother Mingze, that night was really an accident. I thought he was you, so..."

Xu Mingze was anxious to push her away, afraid that if Jiang Shutong saw him, his path to winning her back would become even more difficult.

"Qing'er, let me go first, I'm here to see your sister..."

Jiang Muqing raised her face, her eyes red from crying. "My sister? She's not home. She moved out a couple of days ago and heartlessly stopped giving us any living expenses. We're almost starving..."

She has no living expenses this month, so she has come back home to stay instead of staying at school.

When Xu Mingze heard that Jiang Shutong was not there, he stopped pushing Jiang Muqing away from his arms.

Hearing the noise, Liu Guixiang came out of the kitchen. "Mingze's here? Come on, come in and eat..."

She was thrilled that Xu Mingze, her golden son-in-law, had finally arrived.

Xu Mingze hesitated for a moment, but still went in.

After all, this is his future in-laws' home, so he still needs to maintain a good relationship with them.

There were only a few simple dishes on the table, mostly vegetarian, and the only meat was the cheapest pork, because Jiang Shutong no longer gave Liu Guixiang living expenses, so she had to be frugal.

Jiang Feiyang slammed down his chopsticks. "I'm not eating this awful food anymore."

"Yangyang, eat something, you'll get hungry if you don't eat..." Liu Guixiang said worriedly as she followed her son into his room to play games again.

Jiang Xingde scolded, "Don't worry about him. He's not a child anymore. He'll eat when he's hungry."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at Xu Mingze, saying, "Mingze, hurry up and eat. It's just simple food, not much food..."

Xu Mingze didn't pay much attention to the food. He hummed in response, then couldn't help but ask, "I heard from Qing'er that Tongtong moved out?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Xingde sighed, "Yes, that night probably broke Tongtong's heart, so she decided to move out..."

"That brat, what's there to be upset about? As her mother, I'm planning for her future, trying to find her a rich man. Am I wrong? Why can't she understand my good intentions..." Liu Guixiang couldn't help but start cursing.

"Auntie, please don't introduce any more rich men to her. I've thought it through. Tongtong is still the one I love most, so I will marry her..."

The three members of the Jiang family were stunned.

Jiang Muqing burst into tears again, "Brother Mingze, you clearly love me the most..."

Liu Guixiang's expression was somewhat complicated. "Mingze, you've already slept with Qing'er, you have to take responsibility for her..."

Jiang Xingde was also somewhat dissatisfied, his face darkening as he said, "Xu Mingze, you've completely fooled both of my daughters. You swore you liked Qing'er and would take responsibility for her, which is why I let you be with her. Now you say you like Tongtong. How badly are you going to hurt them both?"

Liu Guixiang quickly pulled her husband aside, signaling him not to offend the person.

Ignoring his wife's gaze, Jiang Xingde continued, "I know Tongtong; she won't forgive you easily. You should just stay with Qing'er..."

He had already hurt his eldest daughter badly, and he didn't want his younger daughter to be hurt as well.

Xu Mingze's voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry, uncles and aunts, I'm sorry, Qing'er, no matter how you scold me, it's all right. But I really can't deceive myself anymore... I was bewitched before, attracted by Qing'er's innocence and cuteness, but I later realized that Tongtong holds the highest place in my heart, and my parents also like her very much. They only recognize Tongtong as their daughter-in-law..."

"I came here today to ask where Tongtong moved to? I want to go find her."

Liu Guixiang had a long face and had lost her appetite. "I don't know. That unfilial daughter, she's blocked me now..."

Xu Mingze then looked at Jiang Xingde, "Uncle, do you know where she moved to?"

Jiang Xingde has a good relationship with Jiang Shutong, so he might know.

Jiang Xingde shook his head. "Tongtong did call me, but I don't know where she lives..."

Since he couldn't get anything out of the Jiang family, Xu Mingze got up to take his leave.

Jiang Muqing chased after him, sobbing, "Brother Mingze, wait for me..."

Xu Mingze looked helplessly at the girl's tear-streaked face. "Qing'er, I'm sorry, please forget me..."

"I can't forget, Mingze-gege. You know how much I love you... Even if we can't be together openly, I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore. We can be like before. I'll just be your secret lover. Don't worry, I won't tell my sister. I'll even help you win her back..."

Jiang Muqing clung tightly to his sleeve, following Xu Mingze wherever he went.

The girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying, like a little rabbit's, with tears still clinging to her face. Her wet almond-shaped eyes looked helpless and pitiful. Xu Mingze finally softened and couldn't bear to push her away, letting her get into the car with him.

Unable to go home with Jiang Muqing, Xu Mingze could only drive to a nearby hotel.

He asked the front desk to book a double room.

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Muqing stripped herself naked.

Xu Mingze, his breathing somewhat disordered, pushed her away and turned his head away. "Qing'er, don't do this..."

He brought her to the hotel not because he wanted anything to happen between them.

After all, Jiang Shutong is the only one in his heart right now.

The girl's fair and soft body clung to him, her wet and innocent eyes looking at him. "Brother Mingze, my sister isn't here right now, she won't know..."

Yes, Jiang Shutong wouldn't know.

The man's rationality finally snapped; he picked the woman up and threw her onto the bed.

……

Mingjing Garden.

As soon as Pei Yichen entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food wafting through the air.

It tastes like home-style cooking, but it's surprisingly fragrant and makes your mouth water.

Watching the woman in an apron bustling about in the kitchen, he seemed to have a strange sense of "home".
