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

Bai Tao, half asleep with her eyes closed, vaguely heard Pei Jin say something.

She opened her eyes and found her right hand being held in his palm, pressed against his cheek.

She smiled and touched his face.

"So much beard, it's prickly."

Pei Jin glanced around in a panic, then buried his head in her chest, his voice muffled.

"There's no razor here, please don't mind."

Bai Tao withdrew her hand, smiled, and ruffled his hair, enjoying its fluffy texture.

"Fool."

How could I possibly dislike you?

She turned sideways and squeezed into the sofa, making room for herself, and patted the spot next to her, gesturing for Pei Jin to lie down.

Pei Jin took off his shoes and lay down. The two of them squeezed together on the sofa, facing each other, and hugged each other tightly. Bai Tao looked up and smiled at him.

He was uncomfortable lying on his side and was afraid of squeezing Bai Tao in, so he rolled over while holding her, and Bai Tao ended up lying on top of him.

Feeling Bai Tao's weight pressing down on him, Pei Jin let out a comfortable sigh.

Bai Tao hadn't expected him to move like that, and she swayed a bit, then chuckled.

Pei Jin.

"Hmm? This position is uncomfortable?"

Bai Tao paused for a moment, glanced up at him, then buried herself in his arms again.

"That will crush you."

Pei Jin moved slightly, and Bai Tao felt something dig into her inner thigh.

She froze for a moment, then realized what was happening and buried her head in the crook of his neck, refusing to lift it.

"I didn't mean it was crushed."

Pei Jin smiled, and his voice sounded above her head.

"Heh, isn't it still quite a distance away?"

He lifted one leg and placed it on her, pulling her into his arms.

White Peach found a comfortable spot to curl up.

With her eyes closed, she felt his chin resting on the top of her head; the prickly touch of his beard made her feel very secure.

Pei Jin placed his hand on Bai Tao's back and patted it gently.

Bai Tao lay on top of him and fell into a deep sleep.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the office door.

Pei Jin instinctively covered Bai Tao's ears, but she still woke up.

I didn't sleep all night and drove for so long. To only get half an hour of sleep is like living hell. My head is throbbing.

She opened her eyes with a frown, raised her head, and her gaze sluggishly fell in the direction of the doorway.

Pei Jin kept watching her, finding the way she frowned and stared at the doorway incredibly cute.

How come my baby is so healthy and doesn't even have morning grumpiness?

There was a knock on the door three more times.

Bai Tao lowered her head and looked at Pei Jin.

Aren't you going to open the door?

Pei Jin lifted her up and sat her up, speaking very softly.

"Wait here for me, I'll go out and take a look."

He stood up, draped his coat over her shoulders again, and leaned down to kiss her.

"I won't be working overtime this afternoon, so I'll take you home early to sleep."

Bai Tao nodded and nestled back into the sofa.

On the way back, Pei Jin drove quickly, pressing the accelerator hard, and arrived downstairs in six minutes.

Before Bai Tao could recover from her shock, and was about to slowly get out of the car, Pei Jin had already walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door.

He took her hand and walked hurriedly toward the elevator.

"Hey, Pei Jin, slow down."

He had many questions he wanted to ask, yet he was afraid to hear the answer.

As soon as they got on the elevator, Bai Tao seemed to have a premonition and quickly covered her mouth, standing in the corner with her back to Pei Jin.

Pei Jin turned around and saw her huddled in the corner, a tiny figure. He smiled, leaned over, and pressed his hand against her, roaming over her beautifully textured cheongsam.

Bai Tao nervously hid, keeping her voice very low. To avoid Pei Jin, she kept twisting and turning, making Pei Jin uncomfortable.

"Pei Jin, there really are surveillance cameras in the elevator."

She dared not move, afraid that someone would come in if the elevator stopped.

Fortunately, it was just the two of them.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. Pei Jin put his large arm around her waist and led her towards the door.

Bai Tao couldn't see anything, so she could only back away instinctively, but she was also afraid of falling.

While being pushed backwards by that scoundrel Pei Jin, she could only desperately try to grab Pei Jin's collar.

"Pei... Pei Jin..."

"You called me wrong, baby. Call me again."

What time is it? Why are you still calling him Pei Jin?

"Husband... Waaah."

Pei Jin pressed the door open, then closed it again. The next second, he placed his large hand on her thigh, and with a forceful pull, dragged her onto his waist, and the two of them fell onto the sofa together.

In that instant of weightlessness, Bai Tao hooked her arm around Pei Jin's waist.

Just as she thought he was going to do something, Pei Jin simply held her tightly, buried his head in her neck, and wouldn't lift it up.

He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to bring them up.

"Wife..."

Please don't abandon me.

Money can be earned back, but without you, no amount of money matters.

Don't give up your freedom for my sake.

Don't leave me.

Pei Jin muttered a bunch of things, and Bai Tao understood them.

He thought she had agreed to go back and marry him on the condition that he receive 300 million yuan.

She smiled and patted his hair.

"Fool."

Pei Jin's muffled voice came from the crook of her neck.

"Where did those three hundred million come from...?"

He quickly looked up after he finished speaking; his eyes were red-rimmed, with dark circles under them, and his beard was unkempt.

"I didn't mean anything by it."

I just want to know... you didn't do any deals with anyone, did you?

"A deal like 'I'll give you 300 million if you leave'."

Bai Tao stroked his hair, then thought about how to start the conversation.

"I did sell something very important to me. So when you're able to, you must help me buy it back."

Pei Jin stared at her for a long time.

"You won't leave me, will you, my wife?"

"Won't."

The next second, he lowered his head and kissed her. Bai Tao touched his face, feeling a pang of heartache.

"Aren't you sleepy, Pei Jin?"

"Let's get down to business first."

Pei Jin desperately wanted to find a sense of security.

He was afraid of being left behind.

He could be abandoned by the Pei family a thousand times over, but he could not be abandoned by Bai Tao.

Bai Tao is his spiritual anchor; he cannot live without her.

With every movement he made, he begged her to say "I love you."

Throughout the night, Bai Tao was begged by him to say many things.

She couldn't count them all, but she remembered that every time she answered him, she felt Pei Jin put in even more effort.

She knelt in front of the mirror, with Pei Jin's clothes cushioning her knees.

My forearm was pressed firmly against the cold mirror.

Pei Jin rested his hands on her thighs, looking at her disheveled reflection in the mirror.

"Baby, why are there so many tears streaming down your face?"

Pei Jin held his hand up to the mirror, his two fingers coming together and then separating.

"Baby's tears are so sticky."

He stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked it. When Bai Tao saw this, she cried even harder.

"Why are you so nervous, baby? It's not like you haven't served the baby before."

Later, in the last vestiges of her consciousness before she fell asleep, he was still whispering this sentence over and over in her ear.

"Bai Tao's entire body is Pei Jin's..."

She lost count of how many times she had responded, until she completely lost consciousness.
