After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

The moment Bai Tao walked away, Pei Jin looked up, grabbed her legs, and lifted her up.

It wasn't the first time she'd been picked up so suddenly, but it still startled Bai Tao.

Pei Jin asked her as he walked.

"Baby, how can you be so cruel to yourself?"

"Pei Jin, you lied to me!"

Bai Tao stared at him in disbelief.

Pei Jin immediately surrendered.

"I'm not lying to you, baby, it really hurts. Do you want to take a look?"

"I do not want."

Bai Tao blushed and turned her head away.

Pei Jin helped her sit on the sofa, then stood in front of her, reaching for his belt.

"I'll show you—"

Bai Tao covered her eyes in fright and let out a short gasp.

"what!"

Pei Jin stopped, chuckled softly, and removed his hand from his belt, gently taking it in her wrist and pulling her hand away from his eyes.

"Hehe, baby, you're so cute."

So cute, I really want to pin her down on the bed and rough her up...

Bai Tao opened her eyes. His pants were still on properly; he had only teased her with that.

He was indeed a little surprised to be kicked, but he quickly realized that he had been too hasty.

He squatted down in front of Bai Tao, placed her hand on his face, her palm against his cheekbone.

"I'm sorry, baby. I just love you too much."

"I like it when I'm out, and I like it when I'm at home. I like it in my heart, and I like it in my body."

"I'm sorry, baby. If you don't want to do it, we won't do it anymore."

For Bai Tao's sake, Pei Jin suddenly felt that he could be a Platonic lover for the rest of his life.

Bai Tao was captivated by his eyes, which were staring straight at her.

Why did he suddenly start confessing his feelings?

Pei Jin looked at her with earnest and straightforward eyes, burning with sincerity, his love as deep as ink, making Bai Tao's heart tremble slightly.

She suddenly remembered a quote she had seen online.

My lover's eyes are the eighth ocean.

Pei Jin's eyes were only for her.

She reached out and covered his eyes, turning her face to one side.

"Pei Jin... I didn't mean to..."

Pei Jin's eyelashes fluttered beneath her palm.

That's great, she said she'd like to.

He stood up, giving her no time to react, and supported her legs with both hands. Bai Tao quickly pushed against his chest.

"Stop fooling around, Pei Jin, I have important business to attend to."

Okay, my wife has something important to say, so I have to listen.

Pei Jin paused for a moment, put her down, squatted back down in front of her, rested his body on her knees, and pressed his face against her leg.

"Um."

Bai Tao reached out and gently stroked his head.

How should I put this?

She needs to think things through.

His hand wandered up her leg, and Bai Tao gently slapped him.

"Don't move around!"

"I just want to touch it. Baby, I don't want to."

"Then you're not allowed to move around."

"All right."

Pei Jin found the most comfortable place to put his hand, and then he really didn't move...

Bai Tao closed her eyes. Never mind, what she was about to say might upset him, so she decided not to argue with him.

Pei Jin,

Do you remember that I didn't come home for lunch and dinner one day a while ago?

That day I returned to the Bai family home, and Lin Meng asked me to accompany her to a charity gala.

Pei Jin nodded, his hair brushing against her palm.

"I thought she still had feelings for me, but later I found out that she just wanted me to go back and marry someone else."

Pei Jin had already guessed these things, but when he heard her say them with his own ears, he still felt a pressure on his chest, a deep sense of powerlessness accompanied by sadness.

If he were more capable, he wouldn't have to worry about Bai Tao abandoning him at any time to choose a better life.

Fearing that Pei Jin would misunderstand, Bai Tao quickly explained to him.

"But I didn't agree. I ran away before the party was over."

Seeing that he didn't react much, Bai Tao continued speaking.

"The last person to appear that day was Pei Che, the Pei family's newly found biological son."

Pei Jin's body moved slightly.

"Um."

His voice came from her legs, and there was no change in his tone.

Is he sad?

Bai Tao was somewhat uncertain.

Aren't you sad?

Pei Jin's voice was muffled as he lifted his head from her lap.

"I'm sad. But if you call me 'husband,' I won't be sad anymore."

He always called her baby, but she always called him by his full name.

It's always Pei Jin, Pei Jin, Pei Jin calling him that, it really hurts him.

"Pei Jin, if you keep doing this, I'll really get angry."

Bai Tao's voice was more serious than before. Seeing the change in her tone, Pei Jin dropped his teasing expression and straightened his back a little.

"Okay, okay, baby. Then why should I be sad?"

He paused for a moment. He was indeed sad at first, but later he felt more resentful.

But since he got together with Bai Tao, he felt mostly grateful.

I'm so glad I went through this ordeal, because it gave me the opportunity to get to know Bai Tao.

Otherwise, how would he know that his wife is so cute?

Bai Tao lowered her head and softened her voice.

"I don't know, I'm just scared."

Her fingers curled slightly in his palm.

"What if... what if that person, like Bai Zhenzhen, doesn't like you?"

But Bai Zhenzhen is too stupid, and she's not really bad. What if she does something to hurt you?

Pei Jin listened but did not answer immediately.

It turns out she was worried about him.

He slowly got up, gently hugged her, and patted her back lightly with his palm.

"Bai Tao, I swear, I will protect myself and you."

For you, I will never back down.

Pei family —

Pei Che crossed his legs on the golden nanmu coffee table and played on his phone. The light from the screen shone on his face, and the game sound effects played intermittently.

Yang Man hurriedly walked in from the door, her high heels clicking rapidly on the floor tiles.

Pei Che frowned and glanced back.

"Mom? What's the rush?"

Yang Man threw a stack of documents in front of Pei Che, the papers scattered on the coffee table, some of them sliding to the floor.

"Didn't I tell you not to mess with him? Why did you still investigate him?"

Pei Che pulled his leg back. He had been raised by Yang Man at his maternal grandmother's house since he was a child.

Aside from the lack of parental companionship, she received just as much love in other aspects of her life, and even attended a prestigious private school from a young age.

He looked up at Yang Man, his tone completely indifferent.

"What's wrong, Mom? What's there to be afraid of? He was kicked out, wasn't he?"

Yang Man's voice carried an barely suppressed urgency.

"But you're not allowed to provoke him again! Do you know how much your father and I sacrificed to bring you home?"

"If that person finds out, our Pei family is finished!"

Pei Che was able to return because that person had completely given up hope and had taken someone who knew about it to France.

Pei Che continued playing the game, unfazed. His character on the screen fell down, and a "Defeat" message popped up.

He frowned and tossed his phone onto the sofa.

"It's just a fake, what's there to be afraid of?"

"She's enjoyed so many good years for me, what's wrong with wanting her to suffer for two years? What's wrong with that?"

Looking at her carefree son, Yang Man began to reflect on whether she had been too indulgent towards him because she felt guilty about not spending enough time with him over the years.

She suddenly became serious.

"He only suffers when he comes to our house; he can't be said to enjoy any happiness."

If you want to keep your current wealth and status, then don't provoke him.

Pei Che's expression finally changed. He sat up a little straighter and looked at Yang Man with more seriousness in his eyes.

He was becoming increasingly curious about Pei Jin's true identity.

Airport--

Chi Shibao sat down in his seat with a first-class ticket in his hand, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Great! I can finally go home!

He's going to meet his brother in person.

……

1 o'clock in the morning,

He Fan was resting backstage at the bar.

He had just put down his bass and unscrewed a bottle of water when the manager rushed in, his tone a mixture of excitement and anxiety.

"He Fan, someone outside sent you ten flower baskets. Go out and thank them."

He Fan paused for a moment as he twisted the bottle cap. Bass players are usually not that popular in bands, and no one would send ten flower baskets at once.

He frowned.

"Male or female?"

"It's a man, quite young, I think he's about your age."

He Fan put the water bottle on the table, stood up, and followed the manager out.

The bar lights flickered dimly as he walked through the scattered crowd to the corner booth the manager had just pointed out.

A guy wearing a bright red short-sleeved shirt with an exaggerated pattern and black hip-hop shorts sat there, surrounded by several female colleagues from the bar who were laughing at him.

Upon seeing He Fan approach, the boy waved his hand, and everyone around him stepped back.

He Fan walked to the booth, his tone polite and courteous.

"Brother, thank you for recognizing my abilities and for your strong support of my work."

"The manager asked me to come over and offer you a toast."

The boy waved his hand, took out two photos from his pocket, and placed them on the table.

The bar lights were too dim, so He Fan bent down and leaned closer to take a look.

That was a photo taken when he and Bai Tao walked out of the community gate together.

That day, he pointed out to Bai Tao which side of the vegetables was fresher, and the two stood at the intersection for a short while.

He Fan straightened up without saying a word.

He didn't have anything worth photographing, so the only possible candidate was Bai Tao.

In addition, when they were eating hot pot that day, a girl who called herself Sister White Peach also came to take pictures of them with a camera.

He remembered the girl saying, "Two fakes are even finding solace in each other's misfortunes."

Pei Che pointed to the photo on the table.

"Is this you?"

He Fan nodded.

"Your girlfriend is seeing other guys behind your back, do you know that?"

He Fan was silent for a moment. What?

...He Fan's face darkened; he really was stuck with Q.

They weren't even holding hands in the photo, so how could you tell that Bai Tao was his girlfriend?

But he didn't deny it; he wanted to know what the man in front of him would say next.

Pei Che was speechless. What were all these things?

Don't you care that your girlfriend ran off with another guy?

He doesn't seem angry at all.

"Isn't this your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is living with another guy and cheating on you."

"If I were you, I'd beat that guy up, man."

Pei Che wanted to find someone to beat Pei Jin up, but Yang Man told him to stay away.

So this was the only way he could get Bai Tao's boyfriend angry and beat him up.

Who knew that He Fan lazily raised his eyelids, his voice showing no sign of anger.

"Assaulting someone is illegal."

"But she cheated on me."

"That's because I wasn't capable enough to keep her."

Pei Che seemed taken aback by those words, and sat down on the sofa without saying anything more.

Wow, what kind of simp is this? I'm speechless.

He really didn't expect this.

White Peach Death Squad?

He Fan stood up straight.

"I've already thanked you for the gift. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Pei Che didn't stop him.

He Fan turned and walked through the crowd backstage.

Pei Che sat in the booth, raised his foot and kicked the glass table in front of him, but the corner of the table was fixed and did not budge.

He pulled his feet back, sat on the sofa, and remained silent for a while.

How embarrassing...

Damn it.

He found out that Pei Jin now works at a biotechnology company.

If he weren't currently not even part of the Pei family's management team...

He was still stuck working on the assembly line every day, while he had already personally taken charge of dealing with Pei Jin.

Pei Shengli said that he would only receive pocket money every month if he clocked in at work on time every day.

Otherwise, he wouldn't get a single penny.

He sat on the booth sofa, fantasizing about how he would eventually inherit the Pei family and hunt down Pei Jin's company in the business world, bringing them to ruin.

"Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha."

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and Pei Che couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A passerby turned around and glanced at it.

Holy crap, he's drunk, another one's gone crazy.

Pei Jin could walk from home to the company. He left home around the same time as Bai Tao and grabbed the car keys first.

Bai Tao stood at the door, arms crossed, watching him coldly.

"I'm supposed to be going out to take the subway to work, but you took my car keys. Am I supposed to walk all the way to the subway station?"

Pei Jin smiled and shook the key in his hand.

"Here you go, you idiot!"

Bai Tao cheered up again.

"No need, it takes longer to cycle there from here."

"I'll ride my bike and take you to the subway station, baby."

Bai Tao didn't say anything more, bent down to change her shoes, and obediently followed him out the door.

As soon as Bai Tao entered the store, she saw someone lying on the sofa.

He Fan's bass guitar was placed next to the sofa, and he was lying across the sofa with one leg on the ground and a hat covering his face.

Qiao Yue was mopping the floor, and when she passed by his feet, she deliberately rubbed the mop against him twice.

Good morning, Sister Yue~

Good morning, baby.

Bai Tao put down her bag and sat down at her workstation. Before she could speak, He Fan heard her voice and groggily sat up.

The hat slipped off his face and fell onto the sofa.

"peach."

Bai Tao responded.

"Hmm? What brings you here?"

Although they were polite when they parted last night, and he said he could come if he wanted to meet again.

But there's no need to come so soon.

He Fan rubbed his eyes, his voice sounding somewhat tired.

"Someone came to the bar last night and told me to break up with you."

Bai Tao stopped moving, and Qiao Yue paused with the mop in her hand, turning to look at He Fan.

"What?"

He Fan leaned back on the sofa.

"He brought two photos, ones of you and me taken at the entrance of the residential complex,"

"Then she asked me if I knew you were living with another man. She even told me to beat up your boyfriend."

Qiao Yue frowned, put down the mop, and sat down beside her.

"You didn't get angry?"

He Fan pursed his lips.

"I wanted to see what he was up to, but he seemed to think my reaction was too bland, so he didn't say anything more."

Bai Tao has several targets, but doesn't know who they are.

"What does he look like? What clothes is he wearing?"

He Fan recalled for a moment,

"Wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, he looks young, has an average demeanor, and isn't particularly polite."

"If I'm at work tonight, I'll have them check the surveillance footage for you."

Bai Tao shook her head. "No need."

She probably knew who it was.

He Fan didn't ask her who she had offended, but simply lay back down on the sofa and put his hat back over his face.

"I just came to tell you. Tell your boyfriend to be careful in the future."

"Thanks."

"It's nothing, what's the big deal?"

After saying that, He Fan adjusted his hat and went back to sleep.
