The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

At 4 p.m., the plane landed smoothly at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Chen Zhi pushed his suitcase and followed Pei Ningxue out of the VIP passage.

As soon as I stepped out of the arrival gate, a black Alphard with a Shanghai license plate (沪A) was already waiting by the roadside. The driver, dressed in a sharp black suit and wearing white gloves, respectfully opened the door to the airline-style seats.

The two got into the car.

"Go to the Bulgari Hotel," Pei Ningxue instructed.

The Alphard smoothly entered the viaduct and headed towards the Bund.

Soothing instrumental music played in the carriage. Chen Zhi leaned back in his seat, watching the Shanghai street scenes rushing past the window, and a long-lost sense of relaxation welled up in his heart.

Now, Pei Ningxue has "forced" me to come to Shanghai on a business trip. Although I am officially here to work, it is actually like taking a vacation in disguise.

With the emperor far away and the heavens high, there's no need to keep track of time anymore.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Ningxue turned her head, looked at the barely suppressed smile on Chen Zhi's lips, and raised an eyebrow. "So happy to be on a business trip to Shanghai?"

"Of course I'm happy," Chen Zhi replied shamelessly. "Being able to go on a business trip alone with our CEO Pei is a blessing that many people would dream of. This is my heartfelt joy."

Pei Ningxue gave a soft snort.

"Don't give me that." She reached out and pinched Chen Zhi's waist. "When you meet Mr. Li from NIO tomorrow, you'd better maintain this good mood. I've already inquired beforehand; Mr. Li is notoriously difficult to deal with at the negotiating table and is particularly ruthless in pushing for lower prices."

"Just because he's difficult doesn't mean I'm not." Chen Zhi nonchalantly shifted his posture. "The core technology is in our hands. Moss's autonomous driving technology is world-leading. No matter how much he tries to bargain, he'll have to obediently hand over the money."

Pei Ningxue looked at his confident demeanor and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

More than an hour later, the Alphard stopped in front of the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai.

The doorman quickly came over, opened the car door, and helped with the luggage.

Chen Zhi straightened the hem of his clothes and very gentlemanly let Pei Ningxue walk in front. The two walked side by side into the magnificent hotel lobby.

"Hello, check-in is ready."

Chen Zhi walked to the front desk, took out his ID card and slapped it on the marble countertop. "Please book two suites, preferably next to each other."

His words were spoken with the complete air of a virtuous gentleman, in a businesslike manner.

The receptionist was a young woman in a uniform, with a smile on her face. She took the ID card with both hands and typed a few words on the computer.

Soon, a hint of apology appeared on the girl's face.

"I'm sorry, sir, there are currently no two rooms available for the type of room you booked. Our hotel is quite full today, and we only have one double room left."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhi's brows furrowed instantly.

He slammed his hand on the front desk.

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Zhi looked displeased. "It's not a holiday or peak tourist season, and you, the Bulgari Hotel, can't even spare two rooms?"

The receptionist was startled by his imposing manner and quickly stood up straight, bowing repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, sir, there's only one river-view king room left in the system. I'm really sorry."

Chen Zhi put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth a couple of times, his face filled with regret.

"Your service is so inadequate, how are we supposed to stay here?"

He complained as he turned to look at Pei Ningxue, who had been standing silently to the side.

Chen Zhi sighed, spread his hands, and made a gesture of utter helplessness.

"President Pei, you heard that too." Chen Zhi looked at Pei Ningxue. "This hotel is so unreliable, they're fully booked. Should we find another one? Or... should we just squeeze in tonight?"

He was secretly overjoyed when he said that.

Pei Ningxue crossed her arms and quietly watched him perform.

Pei Ningxue took a step forward only after Chen Zhi finished reading all his lines.

She looked at Chen Zhi with a smile.

"That's a real pity." Pei Ningxue's voice was soft, but her words were as precise as a knife.

"Mr. Chen, have you been so busy lately that you've lost your mind?"

Chen Zhi was taken aback: "Huh?"

Pei Ningxue extended a slender white finger and gently tapped the marble tabletop of the reception desk, her smile growing wider.

"I had the company's administration book all the plane tickets and hotel accommodations for this trip to Shanghai in advance."

Seeing Chen Zhi's expression gradually freeze, Pei Ningxue continued to deliver the final blow.

"When the administration was booking the hotel, they specifically called me to confirm. I told them that in order to save the company unnecessary expenses, booking a double room would be enough."

Pei Ningxue leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against Chen Zhi's chin.

"So, Mr. Chen, who were you trying to impress by throwing a tantrum at the receptionist for so long?"

The air seemed to stop flowing at that moment.

The girl at the front desk who had been frantically apologizing just moments before was now looking at Chen Zhi with an extremely complex expression. That expression contained both pity and contempt.

Even with a skin thicker than a city wall, Chen Zhi felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

sloppy.

He was so focused on establishing himself as a "righteous gentleman" that he forgot that this trip was entirely orchestrated by Pei Ningxue.

"cough……"

Chen Zhigan coughed, quickly putting away his previous angry and embarrassed expression; his change of expression was faster than turning the pages of a book.

He turned his head and gave the receptionist a kind smile.

"Um, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. A double room is just fine. Please check us in."

The receptionist, barely suppressing a laugh, quickly processed the room key.

"I wish you both a pleasant stay."

Chen Zhi took the room key, picked up his suitcase, and slunk toward the elevator.

Pei Ningxue followed behind him, watching his embarrassed back, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The two entered the elevator, and as soon as the doors closed, Pei Ningxue leaned against the elevator wall, laughing uncontrollably.

"Chen Zhi, do you think you're such a good actor that you can fool me?" Pei Ningxue reached out and pinched his cheek.

"I was just playing along with your act," Chen Zhi stubbornly insisted. "I could tell at a glance that you booked the room. I was just playing along to make you feel accomplished."

"Really?" Pei Ningxue raised an eyebrow. "Will this bed be cramped enough for Mr. Chen tonight?"

"Not at all, not at all." Chen Zhi put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. "Warming the bed for President Pei is my duty as the CEO of Deep Space Technology."

"Get lost." Pei Ningxue said with a smile, but did not push him away.

The elevator stopped at the top floor with a "ding".

Chen Zhi swiped to open the door to the room.

As expected of the Bulgari River View King Room, with its over 200 square meters of space, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a stunning view of the Huangpu River at night. The Oriental Pearl Tower shimmers with neon lights in the night, and cruise ships glide slowly by on the river.

In the very center of the room was an outrageously large custom-made double bed.

Chen Zhi pushed his suitcase aside, then sprawled out on the soft bed in a "wooden" shape, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"I'm exhausted." Chen Zhi buried his face in the pillow.

Pei Ningxue took off her trench coat and hung it on the hanger. She walked to the bedside and nudged Chen Zhi's calf with her toe.

"Go take a shower."

"You're going to wash already?" Chen Zhi rolled over, looking up at her with a mischievous smile. "President Pei, it's only 5:30 PM. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes at him. "I have a dinner appointment with the vice president of NIO tonight. Your clothes are all wrinkled. How can you go out to see him without taking a shower and changing?"

Chen Zhi sighed and resignedly got out of bed.

"Those evil capitalists, they assign jobs as soon as I get off the plane."

"Are you working for me or me working for you? Stop talking nonsense and get going." Pei Ningxue pushed him into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Pei Ningxue walked to the French windows, looked at the river view outside, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, we pulled this man out of that hellish situation in Beijing.

At least during his time in Shanghai, he belonged to her entirely.

Just as Pei Ningxue was about to get a change of clothes from her suitcase, a cell phone suddenly vibrated in the black backpack she had tossed on the bedside table.

Chen Zhi didn't take his phone inside.

Pei Ningxue stopped moving.

She walked over, unzipped her backpack, and took out the phone.

The screen is lit.

It is a video call request from WeChat.

The note above only had two words, but it made Pei Ningxue's eyes turn cold instantly.

【Late Evening】.

Pei Ningxue, holding her phone, glanced towards the bathroom. The sound of water continued; Chen Zhi clearly couldn't hear anything outside.

The video call rang for a long time before automatically ending.

Immediately afterwards, two WeChat messages popped up on the screen.

[Wanwan: Chen Zhi, are you done with get out of class?]

[Wanwan: Sister Su said she'll give me half a day off tomorrow. Can I come to school tonight to have a late-night snack with you? I miss you so much.]

Pei Ningxue stared at the words "I miss you so much" on the screen, her fingers gently stroking the metal frame of the phone.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Should I ask him to have a late-night snack?

Sorry, your boyfriend is currently taking a shower in the bathroom of the Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai.

Pei Ningxue immediately turned off her phone.
