The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

Xia's father's words reminded Xia's mother, and the two of them hid in the shadows by the door, looking at the man on the sofa not far away, their pupils instantly dilated.

"It's Pei Yu'an!"

It's Pei Yu'an, the president of the Pei Group and the head of the Pei family, who is cooperating with them!

Mr. and Mrs. Xia exchanged a tense glance, then went outside, interrupting the two who were chatting and laughing.

Xia Ying didn't move, and said happily, "Dad, Mom, you're back."

Pei Yu'an had already stood up and greeted them humbly. Surprised, Xia's father hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Pei's visit tonight, has there been a problem with our cooperation?"

Pei Yu'an paused, just about to make an excuse, when a spoiled voice came from beside him: "Dad, Brother Pei is my friend, he came to visit me. Also, it's after get off work hours now, you're not allowed to talk to him about work."

Mr. Xia was surprised. A friend? How come he didn't know that President Pei was his daughter's friend? Especially since he was a friend who came to visit at night, this relationship was probably not that simple.

Pei Yu'an felt a bittersweet mix of emotions. He was genuinely happy that Yingying was thinking of him. But she had never spoken to him in this tone before. This spoiled yet coquettish tone was something she only used with close friends and family.

"President Xia, the cooperation is no problem, you don't need to worry. I'm just here for a chat today. It's getting late, I'll go home first." Pei Yu'an looked at Xia Ying, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his usually cold phoenix eyes showed a hint of warmth.

"Yingying, get some rest, goodnight."

Ignoring the surprised expressions on her parents' faces, Xia Ying said, "Brother Pei, I'll take you."

After the two of them went out one after the other, Xia's mother came over and closed Xia's father's mouth, which was wide open in surprise.

"Honey, Yingying isn't with Mo Chen... what should we do?"

Xia's mother calmed down and rolled her eyes at him: "Doesn't Li Mochen also have someone he likes? Perfect, neither we nor the Li family owe each other anything. As for the marriage alliance, don't ask about it anymore. Whoever our Xiaoying likes is the best."

"My wife is right, what Yingying likes is the best!"

Pei Yu'an was escorted to the door and watched Xia Ying go home before reluctantly returning to the Pei residence.

After a quick shower, he picked up his phone and saw unread new messages.

21:38 — "Brother Pei, are you home yet?"

21:46 — "Get some rest when you get home, goodnight."

Pei Yu'an wiped his wet hair. Now, his hair was hanging down, but it softened his sharp features. Under the warm light, the corners of his lips curled up, making him look even more gentle.

"Just got home and finished washing up. Yingying, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes," Xia Ying replied instantly.

"Would Yingying be interested in going boating on the lake with me?"

Pei Yu'an felt uneasy after sending the message. Tomorrow is only Thursday, and he couldn't wait to take a day off.

A voice inside my head screamed frantically—this is the perfect opportunity, seize her!

Soon, his phone vibrated: "Of course I'd love to! I don't want to stay home, but nobody plays with me either. Brother Pei, you're an angel!"

Pei Yu'an stared intently at the words on the screen, his eyes flashing with an increasingly frightening light. After a moment, he lay back in his chair, tilting his head back and shielding his eyes with his arm, concealing the possessiveness within.

"Zhao Ming, I'm taking tomorrow off. Contact me if there's anything urgent. Take the rest of your work to the Pei residence; I'll handle it tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Pei."

He hung up the phone, and his chat with Xia Ying remained at the "goodnight" screen. The room lights went out, and soon the sound of a man's steady breathing could be heard.

An hour later, the room lights came on. Pei Yu'an went into the bathroom with a dark expression and took another shower.

Damn it, he and Yingying had only officially known each other for a day, how could he be dreaming about this...?

This feeling is so addictive, it's irresistible!

If Li Mochen has someone he likes, then it's reasonable for him to pursue Yingying and protect her from harm!

However, he could accept being a mistress for Yingying's sake.

Pei Yu'an became more and more excited as he thought about it, and gradually convinced himself to lie down on the bed and fall asleep again.

"Brother Pei, you're here so early."

Xia Ying's long hair was a little messy, draped lazily over her shoulders. Two blushes appeared on her fair face from sleeping. She stretched and yawned, like a kitten that had just woken up, and plopped down next to Pei Yu'an.

Pei Yu'an smiled and said, "I'm sorry I came too early. Does Yingying want to sleep a little longer?"

"No need, Brother Pei, lend me your shoulder for a while."

As Xia Ying spoke, she rested her head on his left shoulder. She closed her eyes and snuggled closer, finding herself a comfortable position.

Pei Yu'an, who was standing to the side, had already lost part of his rationality. Shocked by this action, he released the demonic factors within him.

His hands were clenched tightly together, his fingertips turning white. The veins on his arms bulged, and his gaze grew increasingly dark.

Beside him was Yingying, whom he had been longing for. Her soft, warm body leaned against him, completely unguarded and even somewhat dependent on him.

This realization pleased him, but his mind screamed, "She's mine! Take her back to the Pei residence, to my house, and lock her up! No one can see her beauty, and Li Mochen can get lost! She belongs only to me!"

The conversation at the door interrupted his thoughts, bringing him back to his senses.

Mr. and Mrs. Xia had just finished their morning exercise when they entered the house and were met with a scene even more shocking than the one they had witnessed the previous night.

Pei Yu'an is here again!

Their precious baby is still leaning on him!

"Honey, I'm not tired yet, want to run one more lap?"

"Alright, honey, I'll play along to the end!"

The two turned and left, leaving the space to them.

A dozen minutes later, Xia Ying opened her eyes and regained her clarity.

She smiled brightly and said sweetly, "Good morning, Brother Pei."

Good morning, Yingying.

Pei Yu'an couldn't help but touch the top of Xia Ying's head, his gesture intimate and gentle. He didn't miss Xia Ying's shyness, and his heart trembled as well.

That's great, Yingying didn't mind.

He withdrew his hand, unconsciously tightening it, wanting to retain the warmth of his palm.

The two ate breakfast together. Xia Ying changed into a white silk dress, her hair was half-tied up, and she wore a small hat in the same color scheme. She also wore a pearl necklace, exuding an elegant temperament, like a noble white swan.

She appeared on the second-floor staircase, circled around Pei Yu'an on the first floor, and asked, "Brother Pei, is it beautiful?"

"She looks beautiful in everything. This outfit is especially gorgeous on her today."

Pei Yu'an dared not look too long, afraid that his possessiveness would show in his eyes and frighten Xia Ying.

Before he could even let his thoughts wander, a white swan gracefully descended the stairs and landed beside him. A fragrant breeze wafted by, making him feel even more refreshed and relaxed.

"Brother Pei, you're so good at making girls happy?"

Pei Yu'an understood the implication, and under the influence of his emotions, he spoke somewhat hastily: "I only praised Yingying, not anyone else."

"If Yingying doesn't believe me, she can check my phone, ask my assistant, or go to the Pei residence."
