Three years after our breakup, my ex-boyfriend dragged me to get our marriage certificate.

Lin Qingyi sat up abruptly, her eyes filled with astonishment replacing the weariness in them.

"How could you know things I don't even know?"

She had only just agreed to Pei Heng's advances, so how did it involve betrothal gifts?

"Don't worry about that, I have my own connections."

Lin Qingyi's voice was nonchalant.

"When I was in high school in China, Pei Heng took good care of me."

"I know he liked you back then."

So I think this marriage might not be a bad thing for you.

Sister, think about it carefully.

Before Lin Qingyi could speak again, the call was abruptly ended.

Pei Heng returned with the medicine, along with two cups of hot milk tea and desserts.

He ran around pouring her water and watching her take her medicine.

After hesitating for a long time, he cautiously opened his mouth.

"Qingyi, if you still feel uncomfortable, I can rub your stomach for you."

Pei Heng swallowed hard and quickly explained, "I really just wanted to help you relieve your pain, that's all."

Lin Qingyi smiled and nodded, "Rubbing my stomach didn't work, so I put on a heat pack."

Pei Heng responded with an "oh" and sat obediently to the side.

He quietly took out his phone and asked Doubao.

"Hehehe... You're such a good boy. If you want to rub the belly of someone you like, just do it."

Doubao's unrestrained mockery came from the phone.

Pei Heng blushed completely and hurriedly turned off the volume.

Lin Qingyi quietly hid under the covers, but her laughter was so loud that even the covers were shaking.

"Stop laughing..." Pei Heng pleaded.

"Hahaha..." Lin Qingyi laughed uncontrollably. "Aheng, do you think your parents are comfortable with you taking over the family company like this?"

"I'm not entirely at ease," Pei Heng said truthfully. "That's why my parents keep urging me to marry a woman I like."

They gave me a lot of power, hoping I could marry a shrewd wife.

"Aren't you afraid that your shrewd daughter-in-law will seize all your family's assets?" Lin Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

"I'll give you all my assets, and you'll provide me with food and lodging. Of course I'm willing."

Pei Heng spoke very seriously.

"That sounds like a good deal," Lin Qingyi smiled. "But it would be very tiring for me."

Pei Heng didn't know how to respond.

Even if you gave her all the family property, she wouldn't really want it.

Wasn't she supposed to be very touched?

"Why don't you go back to the company and learn a little from your father?"

Lin Qingyi frowned seriously. "If we end up together, you can't hold me back. At the very least, you have to be able to share the burden with me."

"You make a good point." Pei Heng nodded. "But Qingyi, can I ask you anytime if I don't understand something?"

"Of course," Lin Qingyi pointed to her phone, "Message me anytime."

"If it's not clear on the phone, could you come to the company and explain it to me?" Pei Heng looked at her obediently and honestly.

"That's fine, but I'll have to wait until I have time."

Lin Qingyi raised her lips slightly, "Lunch break time."

"yeah!"

Pei Heng shouted happily and bent down to hug Lin Qingyi.

"Qingyi, you are so kind."

He raised an eyebrow smugly, finally putting those techniques he learned online to good use!

drop……

The combination lock was opened, and Qiao Suining and Ji Yuhuai appeared at the door at the same time.

Qiao Suining was carrying a bag of medicine when she saw the two people hugging each other. Her eyes widened instantly, and she was incredulous.

Ji Yuhuai's gaze swept indifferently over the two people embracing inside the room, as if watching an insignificant farce.

His lips even curled down slightly, revealing a hint of disdain and disgust.

Pei Heng released Lin Qingyi, but instead of stepping back, he tidied her messy hair.

"Brother Huai, who is this beautiful lady?" Pei Heng met Ji Yuhuai's gaze, a smug smile on his face. "She doesn't look like your sister-in-law."

"Ningning is Zhixu's fiancée," Lin Qingyi tugged at Pei Heng's arm, reminding him.

Pei Heng hurriedly stood up, looking Sui Ning up and down. "Sister Sui Ning? It's been so many years, I'm so sorry."

Qiao Suining lived in Beicheng for a period of time before, when Lin Qingyi was still abroad and they were both still younger brothers.

Qiao Suining pursed her lips. "It seems we've come at an inopportune time and disturbed you."

"Come in quickly, don't stand in the doorway."

Lin Qingyi waved her hand. The medicine hadn't taken effect yet, and she was still feeling a bit unwell, so she spoke weakly.

The group sat down to chat.

He Zhixu had to go to a dinner party, so he asked Ji Yuhuai to help take Qiao Suining to find Lin Qingyi.

They then talked about Pei Heng and Lin Qingyi.

"Qingyi, I know my younger brother Pei Heng quite well. He's timid and doesn't have any ulterior motives."

Qiao Suining acted as a mediator, saying, "You are calm, steady, and gentle; the two of you are a perfect match."

"Thank you, Sister Suining. If Qingyi accepts my advances, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope."

Pei Heng clasped his hands together, his face full of gratitude.

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Qingyi again, raising his lips in a triumphant smile.

Lin Qingyi nodded to him helplessly.

Ji Yuhuai's eyes grew even deeper. "I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Brother Huai, are you going to pick up your wife from get off work?"

Pei Heng stood up.

"Hmm, I haven't seen the little girl for a few days, and she's been a bit grumpy," Ji Yuhuai said calmly. "I'll take her to the amusement park to cheer her up."

"Brother Huai, you are so lucky. Your wife is still a child at heart."

Pei Heng sighed, "I'm different. Qingyi gave me some homework, and I have to do it right away."

Ji Yuhuai's expression darkened further, and he left without looking back.

Pei Heng said something to the two of them and quickly followed them out.

"That feels good."

Qiao Suining closed the door and let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Seeing Ji Yuhuai get his comeuppance made me feel relieved for you."

I just didn't expect you to send Pei Heng to disgust Ji Yuhuai.

Everyone knows those two are practically inseparable, like they grew up wearing the same pair of pants.

"I don't think that way." Lin Qingyi shook her head. "I won't demean myself for a man."

"True, it's not worth it."

Qiao Suining glanced at the packet of medicine, but ultimately kept quiet.

She escorted Lin Qingyi back to her room, where hot water and desserts were prepared by the bedside.

They even thoughtfully charged her phone and drew the curtains.

After Lin Qingyi fell asleep, she went next door to tidy up their love nest.

*

Lin Qingyi was awakened by the notification sound of a money transfer.

One hundred thousand yuan.

She thought it was the most beautiful sound.

But the next second, when she saw the message from Jiang Wenxi, she became somewhat unhappy.

"Sister Qingyi, Mrs. Chiang has invited me to her birthday banquet."

But I've never been to those kinds of occasions before, and I'm afraid I'll embarrass Ah Huai and Aunt He."

"I transferred some training fees to you, could you teach me?"

She also added a smiling emoji to her post.

In Lin Qingyi's view, this was blatant showing off.

She wanted Lin Qingyi to know that He Ling was slowly accepting her.
