After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Pei Hansheng leaned against the door of the dressing room, watching Qiao Wan search inside.

That's good; I can hear noises in the empty house now.

Zhang Xiu brought up a tray: "Mr. Pei, I made ginseng soup and bird's nest for your wife."

Pei Hansheng turned his head and asked, "Aunt Zhang, have you seen her teddy bear?"

Zhang Xiu put down her plate and exclaimed in surprise, "I thought those were things Madam didn't want and threw away."

Pei Hansheng frowned, clearly displeased: "Who gave you permission? Did you throw Chunzhi's things around like this when you were at the Jiang family's?"

Zhang Xiu clenched his hands, at a loss: "How about I buy my wife a new one? That teddy bear looks so old, all the fur is gone."

Qiao Wan came out and asked, "Where did you throw it?"

"I threw it in the trash can in the yard this morning; it should have been taken away by the garbage truck by now."

Qiao Wan even forgot about her shoes and bed, and ran out of the bedroom.

"What's wrong with you?" Pei Hansheng followed behind, carrying her sneakers, and squatted down to help Qiao Wan put the shoes on her feet.

"It's just a toy, if you lose it, you lose it, you can just buy a new one."

Qiao Wan lowered her eyes, staring at Pei Hansheng's coarse hair, her expression somber.

"I only want that one."

Pei Hansheng grabbed her arm, pulled her back into his arms, and gritted his teeth: "Fine, go ahead and cause trouble, I can take it."

"Aunt Zhang, call the property management and tell them to overturn the garbage truck."

It wasn't until evening that the property management called the villa, and Pei Hansheng answered.

The property management asked, "Mr. Pei, is your wife looking for a teddy bear wearing a yellow T-shirt with a switch on its back that records your voice? No wonder she's in such a hurry."

Pei Hansheng held the landline receiver but did not answer.

He had absolutely no recollection of sending Qiao Wan something like this.

Qiao Wan sat on the sofa, her eyes lowered, and said softly, "It's that one."

Whenever I can't sleep, I always hug that toy bear. It has been my companion through countless difficult nights in Tanshu, and I have developed a psychological dependence on it.

"Bring it over." Pei Hansheng hung up the phone, put his hands in his pockets, and stared down at Qiao Wan: "Is this how much you treasure the thing I gave you?"

"It's not because you gave it to me." Qiao Wan lifted her eyelids, her heart still aching at the sight of the mockery on his face. "I find it easy to use, and it's been with me for a long time."

Pei Hansheng's smile cooled, and he scoffed, "I know you're nostalgic."

The property management delivered the teddy bear, which was incredibly dirty and was placed in a bag.

"Thank you." Qiao Wan took the bag and was about to leave.

Pei Hansheng said coldly to her retreating figure, "I won't collect your body if you die out there."

Qiao Wan seemed to remember something and turned around to ask, "It's Monday, have the divorce papers been signed yet?"

A surge of anger welled up in Pei Hansheng's head: "Sign, sign now."

"it is good."

Qiao Wan grabbed the bag and went upstairs. Pei Hansheng walked in front of her, his back tall and straight, his legs so long, and every step he took was firm.

She looked up at him, remembering what he had said.

"If I were to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, would you still want to be my wife?"

"I do."

A mischievous glint in his eyes, his obsidian-like gaze fixed on her blushing face: "Then what will you do if I can't bring you the pleasures of womanhood?"

Qiao Wan's ears were burning hot, thankfully it was in the dark on her bed at night.

Her heart was pounding. She had never been so close to a man before. She buried her face in his chest and couldn't say a word.

In the darkness, Pei Hansheng's laughter resonated in his chest. He tightened his embrace, his voice seductive in her ear: "Even if I'm paralyzed for the rest of my life, I have plenty of ways to satisfy you. Do you want that?"

Qiao Wan felt uncomfortable from his teasing and gave a soft "hmm".

Pei Hansheng wasn't in much better shape; he was about to explode.

He kissed her fiercely and intensely; Qiao Wan melted in his warmth, her heart pounding.

"I will wait until you are ready, Qiao Wan. Your body and soul can only belong to me."

His domineering nature made Qiao Wan believe that this was love.

They spent six months of such nights together; her body was always ready for him, and she longed to be cherished and possessed.

She didn't want to think about what happened next...

Qiao Wan absentmindedly went upstairs. Pei Hansheng was standing on the high floor, and she bumped into his arms, feeling a little dizzy.

Pei Hansheng grabbed her forearm to steady her.

"What are you thinking?"

Qiao Wan shook her head: "I wasn't thinking about anything."

Pei Hansheng released his grip and walked into the bedroom: "The divorce agreement isn't at home; it's with the company's legal department."

Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment.

"We don't have any issues with property division, there's no need to make things so complicated."

"The procedures still need to be followed."

Qiao Wan was a little annoyed, the plastic bag in her hand rustling.

Pei Hansheng's lips curled into a playful smile.

"I'd like to know, when did I buy this teddy bear?"

"You once came back to China and left it in your bedroom."

Pei Hansheng remembered.

He originally intended to give it to his relative's child to play with.

"You understand French?"

"You mispronounce a few words in 'Stray Birds'."

Pei Hansheng raised an eyebrow: "So you can't sleep if you can't hear my voice every day."

Qiao Wan thought for a moment: "White noise is good for falling asleep."

Pei Han chuckled and pinched Qiao Wan's delicate chin: "Listening to the noise I'm making, didn't you think of anything else?"

Qiao Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked up to meet Pei Hansheng's deep, dark eyes, where undercurrents surged and his gaze released a dangerous signal.

Her throat tightened, and she swallowed loudly.

The next second, Pei Hansheng's kiss landed on his lips.

They hadn't kissed in so long that Qiao Wan had forgotten how to respond.

Forced to tilt her head back, she tiptoed and hooked her arms around his neck. Pei Hansheng lifted her by the waist, and her body was suddenly lifted into the air.

I lost my clothes the whole way.

Qiao Wan felt like she was being split in two, and the pain was even worse than childbirth.

Pei Hansheng was even more nervous than her, and he was covered in sweat, which slid down his firm chest and landed on Qiao Wan's face.

He lowered his head and sucked on it with his lips, coaxing softly:

"Qiao Wan, relax."

Qiao Wan dug her fingertips deep into Pei Hansheng's back, leaving several bloody marks.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Pei Hansheng seized the opportunity.

There were no unexpected obstacles.

Qiao Wan's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat; she was in so much pain she was about to faint.

Pei Hansheng immediately stopped, stepped aside to help her put on her clothes, and went to the hospital.

……

After examining Qiao Wan, the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department frowned and said, "Mr. Pei, your wife's health is already weak, so you should be more moderate in your sexual activity."

Pei Hansheng found the word "moderation" laughable.

"Stop nagging, she's in so much pain she's crying, hurry up."

"Prescribe the medication to prevent further infection of the wound. You must also abstain from sexual activity..."

Before he could finish explaining, Pei Hansheng grabbed the prescription and went to the window to get the medicine.

Back in the ward, Qiao Wan was curled up in bed, her eyes open quietly, lost in thought.

He spread her legs apart.

Qiao Wan sat up warily, her face full of suspicion.

Pei Hansheng raised his eyes: "This isn't the first time for you, you don't need to pretend to be a little girl in front of me."

Qiao Wan was stunned.

I'm too lazy to explain myself.

Pei Hansheng applied the medicine and went to wash his hands.

The thought that Qiao Wan's body had been possessed by other men made his face turn sinister and murderous.

He minded it a lot, even more than Qiao Wan harbored feelings for a murderer.

When Pei Hansheng came out again, the ward was empty.

Qiao Wan left quietly with the teddy bear.
