The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The air in the suite's living room seemed to freeze.

Pei Ningxue crossed her arms and watched Chen Zhi with a leisurely air, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation for a good show.

"Why aren't you moving?" She raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you saying something quite touching just now? You kowtowed with every step, climbed ninety-nine steps, and your knees are all bruised. Roll them up so I can see. If they're really bruised, I'll do whatever you want tonight."

Chen Zhi felt a chill run down his spine.

This woman is really unpredictable! Shouldn't a normal girl be moved to tears and rush into someone's arms, sobbing, after hearing such words?

She was quite something, she even brought an on-site medical examination for injuries!

The area in front of the main hall of Changchun Temple is so flat that a horse could run across it. Where would he find ninety-nine steps? His knees are cleaner than his face now. With this roll up of his trouser leg, the sentimental persona he had just painstakingly built up completely exploded on the spot.

"What? You're reluctant to show it to me?" Pei Ningxue's smile deepened as she saw him hesitate, and she even leaned forward slightly. "Or are you, Boss Chen, just spouting nonsense and lying to me again?"

Chen Zhi's brain was working at lightning speed.

Confess and you'll be treated leniently? That's courting death.

Keep making up stories? This lie can't be kept up any longer.

Since words won't work, we'll have to resort to force. The best way to deal with a "verbal powerhouse" like Pei Ningxue, who has high offense but low defense, is to be even more shameless than her.

Chen Zhi sighed, feigning an extremely helpless expression.

"Fine, since you insist on seeing it, then I'll show it to you."

After saying that, he stood up and placed his hands on the belt buckle at his waist.

With a crisp "click," the belt came undone.

Pei Ningxue froze, her smile instantly turning to ice. "What...what are you doing?"

"Rolling up your pants is too much trouble, and you can't see everything anyway." Chen Zhi said without changing his expression, his hand already on his waistband, as if to pull them down. "Didn't you want to get a medical examination? I'll just take them off and let you see. You can examine them all over, however you want."

"Chen Zhi, you scoundrel!"

Pei Ningxue never expected him to do this. She gasped in fright, instinctively covering her eyes and shrinking into the corner of the sofa.

It's now!

Chen Zhi didn't take off his pants at all; instead, he pounced on her the moment she covered her eyes.

He braced his hands on the back of the sofa, pulled Pei Ningxue into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Pei Ningxue felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, followed by a warm touch on her lips. She whimpered and tried to push against Chen Zhi's chest, but her strength was negligible in front of him.

Chen Zhi's kiss was domineering and unreasonable, with an aggressive quality that left no room for refusal, instantly shattering the psychological defenses that Pei Ningxue had painstakingly built up.

She was originally worried about her knees, but now her mind is completely blank.

Chen Zhitai understands her.

This woman appears to be a seasoned and cunning woman, constantly spouting suggestive and lewd remarks, but in reality, he was the one who taught her her first kiss. When it comes to anything serious, she's more of a coward than anyone else.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhicai finally released her.

Pei Ningxue leaned against the sofa cushions, panting heavily. Her originally fair cheeks were now flushed red, as if they were about to bleed, and her eyes, which always carried a hint of provocation, were now covered with a layer of moisture.

"You...you scoundrel!" She bit her lower lip and glared at Chen Zhi fiercely, but her gaze looked more like she was being coquettish.

"How am I being a scoundrel?" Chen Zhi sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms. "Didn't you say you wanted a medical examination? I'm a man of integrity. If we're going to have an examination, then we should have a thorough one."

"Get lost!" Pei Ningxue pinched his waist impatiently. "Don't think I don't know you're changing the subject. Your knee isn't injured at all, right? Where did the Changchun Temple get ninety-nine steps from!"

Although she was still verbally criticizing him, her tone had softened, and she no longer had the aggressive demeanor she had just displayed.

Chen Zhi rested his chin on her shoulder, smelled the fragrance in her hair, and chuckled softly.

"There are no steps, but my desire for the red string is genuine." He took Pei Ningxue's left hand, which was adorned with the red string, and kissed it. "This thing was truly blessed by an old Taoist priest. I bought it for one hundred and thirty."

"One hundred and thirty?" Pei Ningxue laughed in anger, grabbing Chen Zhi's cheek and pulling him away. "You, a big boss worth tens of billions, trying to fool me with a cheap item from a street stall for one hundred and thirty? How dare you say that!"

"How can this be called fooling around? This is called sincerity moving mountains," Chen Zhi retorted vaguely. "Besides, if you're wearing a watch worth millions and a bracelet worth millions, that's tacky. Wearing a red string bracelet that costs 130 yuan, that's called returning to simplicity, don't you understand?"

Pei Ningxue was amused by his twisted logic.

She leaned against Chen Zhi's chest, her fingers gently stroking the red string on her wrist, and suddenly fell silent.

The only sound in the living room was the faint hum of the air conditioner vents.

"Chen Zhi," Pei Ningxue suddenly spoke, her voice very soft.

"Um?"

"The financing for Deep Space Technology will be finalized after the New Year, and there's also the site selection and construction of that supercomputing center. There will be a lot to do." Pei Ningxue shifted to a more comfortable position, her tone becoming serious. "I'll be returning to Beijing on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to coordinate tax and legal procedures with the people at Beijing Investment Group."

When work was mentioned, Chen Zhi also put away his joking thoughts.

"No need to work so hard. The Lunar New Year isn't even over yet." Chen Zhi frowned. "The company has billions of dollars in its accounts right now. Those investors are even more anxious than we are. Let them handle the paperwork first."

"No, I'm the CFO. I won't feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on things." Pei Ningxue looked up at him. "You seem shrewd usually, but you don't really care about these tedious administrative procedures. If I don't keep an eye on things, Deep Space Technology will be devoured by those Wall Street capitalists sooner or later."

Looking at her serious profile, Chen Zhi suddenly felt a complex and indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

Pei Ningxue is a true heiress, pampered since childhood and never lifting a finger. But since taking over the finance and administration of Deep Space Technology, she has devoted almost all her energy to it.

He stayed up all night reviewing reports, dealt with those cunning investors, and even dared to challenge the old foxes at Sequoia Capital and BlackRock in order to help him maintain control of the company.

What is she after?

She has a family business worth tens of billions waiting for her to inherit.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Zhi tightened his arms, holding her even closer.

Pei Ningxue snorted, "It's good that you know I'm working hard. In the future, spend less time with that singing ring toss game and more time with me."

She paused, then added, "And that law student, you'd better stay away from her too. Don't think I don't know what you were doing this afternoon; I could smell your perfume from three meters away."

Chen Zhi's heart was pounding, but he remained outwardly calm.

"What perfume smell? That's the smell of incense from Changchun Temple," Chen Zhi refused to admit.

Pei Ningxue was too lazy to expose him, she just drew circles on his chest with her hand, "Whatever, I've already said it before, I don't care how many women you have, as long as the most important place in your heart is mine, and..."

She looked up, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Chen Zhi. "Your first child must be mine."

Chen Zhi was in a real bind.

Why is this woman so obsessed with having children?

"You're only a freshman, sis. You're not even old enough to get married yet. What are you talking about having kids?" Chen Zhi quickly interrupted. "Besides, Deep Space Technology is at a critical stage right now. Moss's next-generation model is still being trained. We don't have time for this kind of thing."

"I don't care, you promised me anyway," Pei Ningxue persisted.

The two cuddled on the sofa for a while longer. Chen Zhi checked the time; it was almost 3 a.m.

"Alright, get some rest." Chen Zhi yawned, picked Pei Ningxue up by the waist, and carried her to the bedroom.

That night, Chen Zhi still held firm to his principles.

It wasn't that he was a saint, but he knew very well that once he crossed that final line with Pei Ningxue, this woman would definitely take advantage of the situation and try to get him to meet Pei Dongcheng tomorrow, and spread the news of her pregnancy all over the world the day after.

At that point, his aircraft carrier, which is trying to straddle three boats, will really capsize.
