The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

When Chen Zhi came out of the bathroom drying his hair, he immediately saw Pei Ningxue sitting on the edge of the bed.

In her hand, she was holding the cell phone that belonged to Chen Zhi.

"Why are you looking at my phone?" Chen Zhiqiang pretended to be calm, drying his hair as he walked towards the bed, feigning indifference.

Pei Ningxue raised her head and glanced at him.

Pei Ningxue casually tossed her black-screened phone onto the soft blanket, clapped her hands, and stood up.

"To ensure we can fully focus on our work without being distracted by trivial matters," Pei Ningxue said confidently, looking at him, "I've decided to turn off all our phones."

Is it off?

Chen Zhi paused for a moment, then quickly walked over, picked up his phone, and pressed the power button.

The screen is unresponsive, indicating that the device is indeed powered off.

The huge weight that had been hanging over his heart instantly lifted. As long as the password hadn't been unlocked to view the WeChat chat history, everything was fine.

"I have to give a thumbs up to President Pei for his work ethic." Chen Zhishun took the opportunity to quickly stuff his phone into the deepest part of his backpack. "When you're on a business trip, you have to act like you're on a business trip. Be focused and don't let your guard down."

Pei Ningxue crossed her arms and looked at his relieved expression, a faint smile curving her lips.

Focused and dedicated?

Hopefully, the big star who waited patiently at the gate of Peking University tonight can also appreciate Mr. Chen's dedication.

The two rested in the hotel suite for less than half an hour before Pei Ningxue started touching up her makeup and choosing clothes again.

"Let's go downstairs." Pei Ningxue picked up a Hermes bag.

"Where to?" Chen Zhi was still sprawled on the sofa recovering. "Aren't we meeting a client tonight?"

"Let's go to Hang Lung Plaza." Pei Ningxue looked him up and down, her tone critical. "Are you planning to go to see NIO's vice president in this wrinkled casual outfit? Go buy a few more presentable clothes."

Chen Zhi looked down at his clothes and thought they were fine, but since the CFO had spoken, he could only obediently follow suit.

When Chen Zhicai arrived at the mall, he realized he had been tricked.

Pei Ningxue didn't head straight for the men's clothing section; instead, she plunged into the high-end women's clothing store.

And they went to one company after another.

Chen Zhi sat on the leather sofa in the VIP lounge, his initial enthusiasm turning into a listless expression.

"How about this one?" Pei Ningxue came out wearing a wine-red velvet dress and twirled in front of the full-length mirror.

"It looks great, it suits your style perfectly, I'll buy it." Chen Zhi nodded mechanically; this was the twentieth time he had said "it looks great" that day.

Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes at him. "You didn't even look closely."

"I saw it, really." Chen Zhi swore to the heavens, "President Pei, with your figure and face, you'd look good even if you wore a burlap sack."

Chen Zhi was internally ranting and raving.

In the several-hundred-square-meter top-floor duplex at Wanliu Academy, the walk-in closet alone occupies an entire master bedroom, and there are countless clothes inside with the tags still on.

Where does this woman get so much energy? Why does she have to go on a shopping spree in Shanghai?

Pei Ningxue was clearly satisfied with Chen Zhi's answer, and casually handed the card to the sales assistant, "Wrap it up."

Chen Zhi sighed, resignedly stood up, and took the several huge shopping bags handed to him by the sales assistant.

"Let's go." Pei Ningxue was in a great mood and took the initiative to walk over and take Chen Zhi's arm.

"Huh? We still have to shop around?" Chen Zhi felt like his legs no longer belonged to him.

"You haven't bought your clothes yet, of course you should," Pei Ningxue said matter-of-factly. "You're the face of Deep Space Technology. If you're dressed too shabbily, how can car companies believe we have the capability to develop autonomous driving?"

So Chen Zhi was dragged around the men's clothing section for more than an hour.

By the time he finally changed into a well-tailored, custom-made suit worth over 100,000 yuan and walked out of the fitting room, it was already completely dark outside.

Chen Zhi raised his left wrist and glanced at the time.

Pei Ningxue's gaze lingered on the watch for a second before quickly looking away without saying anything.

"President Pei, it's almost 7 PM." Chen Zhi shook his aching arms. "Didn't we have a dinner appointment with Mr. Li from NIO? Won't we be late if we rush over now?"

Pei Ningxue walked ahead in her high heels without turning her head.

"I'm not going."

"Huh?" Chen Zhi stood there, stunned.

"He just texted me saying there was an emergency at the company today and he can't come. The dinner is rescheduled for tomorrow noon," Pei Ningxue lied without batting an eye.

Actually, she hadn't scheduled the dinner for today at all.

"Where do we go now?" Chen Zhi asked, carrying large and small bags as he caught up with them.

"Let's eat." Pei Ningxue turned her head, winked at him, and said, "I'm hungry."

Half an hour later, the two sat in a top-notch Michelin-starred restaurant on the Bund.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a dazzling view of the Huangpu River at night.

Scented candles were lit on the table, and a violinist in a tuxedo was playing a melodious tune not far away.

This atmosphere, this style, it doesn't feel like a business trip at all; it feels more like a carefully planned romantic date between lovers.

As Chen Zhi cut into the Wellington steak on his plate, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Pei Ningxue was in an unusually good mood today.

"Try this, it tastes very good." Pei Ningxue rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at him in the flickering candlelight.

Chen Zhi felt uneasy under her gaze.

Pei Ningxue is usually either a decisive and efficient female CEO or a proud and arrogant young lady with a high level of aggression and low defense. Today, her gentle and tender state is really too abnormal.

"President Pei, you seem a bit off today," Chen Zhi said, putting down his knife and fork.

"Is there?"

"You're too gentle, I'm a little scared." Chen Zhi coughed lightly. "Are you planning something big?"

Pei Ningxue was so angry she laughed.

"Don't you have anything else on your mind?" She picked up her wine glass, took a small sip of red wine, and a slight blush rose on her fair cheeks.

"Chen Zhi, is the night view of Shanghai beautiful?"

"It's beautiful." Chen Zhi turned his head and glanced at the Oriental Pearl Tower outside the window.

"Then enjoy it." Pei Ningxue put down her wine glass, staring straight at him, her tone carrying a certain victor's composure. "After all, no one will bother us tonight."

She deliberately emphasized the words "nobody".

Chen Zhi was completely confused, but still raised his glass in compliance, "Then let's toast to this beautiful night view, and also to the beautiful President Pei."
