After a tragic death and rebirth, the iceberg president turned crazy

"Like who?"

Lin Man had the answer in her mind. She also felt that Ye Qingqing was a bit like Gan Tian, ​​but she saw Xiaojun slowly shaking his head with a thoughtful look, "I think she is more like you."

"Those pitiful eyes are covered by stubbornness and unyielding pride. This expression is too much like you. At most, that face is a little bit like sweet. If you hadn't told me that she was your colleague's sister, I would have thought that some fool wanted to steal your girl again!"

"You really have no sense of crisis at all!"

Xiaojun pinched Lin Man's cheeks with both hands. Lin Man was a little helpless because of her troubles. She had to push her hands away and said, "Okay, stop it." She said in a very light voice, "I don't plan to stay."

After saying this, Xiaojun's face suddenly became serious. She looked behind Lin Man, then picked up her bag and ran away. "Manman, Zhao Yao is still waiting for me downstairs. I'll go pick him up."

Lin Man turned around and saw Pei Yan standing behind her with a bad look on his face. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Should she ask him if he already knew Gan Tian's identity? Or why he didn't even ask her and almost prevented her from graduating? She was already married to Pei Yan at the time, so he didn't care at all?

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them back. After all these things happened, Lin Man, who had originally wanted to stay, was completely shaken. She didn't want to stay anymore and would leave after everything was over.

"Is everything settled?" Lin Man asked.

Pei Yan looked at her with a gloomy expression, "Lin Man, I haven't forgotten what I promised you. Give me some time and I will give you an explanation."

"Also, no one can die on my construction site. I saved her just to save some trouble. I'm not a good person, but she was frightened on the construction site after all. If I ask her to pay for the suit, it will affect Pei's reputation both morally and morally."

He couldn't be careless.

"I understand." She looked a little tired, and the perfunctory look in her eyes was obvious.

Just as she was about to leave, Pei Yan suddenly grabbed her wrist.

He forced himself to hide the sinister look in his eyes, "You don't understand."

"Have you ever trusted me? No. Even if you come back to me, your heart is not with me. Lin Man, your love for me is too fake. Do you really think I'm a fool? Can't I see your purpose?"

Lin Man shook off Pei Yan's hand, "Yes! I just don't trust you, what's wrong?"

"Can you guarantee that when that brick falls, you will use your body to protect me without hesitation? Can you guarantee that you can choose me over that face without hesitation?"

The person she loves will not protect her, and the person who can protect her without hesitation is gone.

Pei Yan looked at her with deep and surprised eyes, as if he was getting to know her all over again, or as if he was meeting her for the first time.

Surprised, he suddenly chuckled. "So this is what you have been thinking all along."

Lin Man was silent, because until this moment, even she herself was not sure whether it was because she did not trust Pei Yan, or because she did not trust herself to receive such unreserved care, or perhaps, she was used to being alone and subconsciously was not used to relying on others.

But her silence had a different meaning in Pei Yan's eyes.

In the end, Pei Yan just smiled self-deprecatingly. Lin Man didn't know when he left. She only remembered that she also felt dizzy and had a headache, as if it was the aftereffect of inhaling too much dust.

When she looked up again, she found that Xiaojun had dragged her into a hot pot restaurant. "Manman, what's wrong with you? You were in a trance the whole way. You didn't even hear Zhao Yao talking to you. Come on, eat something first. I asked the doctor, and he said you're fine. You can eat all this. Here! Your favorite lotus root noodles!"

"cheers!"

Lin Man came back to her senses. After Xiaojun put down the cup, he mysteriously took out a stack of information from his pocket, "I know, you must be thinking about Ye Qingqing, right? Don't worry, I have already helped you to check her out!"

"This is……"

Lin Man looked at the information Xiaojun handed over with confusion.

Zhao Yao sat opposite, somewhat helpless, "Ever since you asked Xiaojun to help you check Mr. Ji's affairs, she now has connections. She can handle many things in the company by herself. This information was probably bought by her. Just take a look."

Lin Man looked up and found that Zhao Yao had been sitting in front of her. She couldn't help rubbing her temples. She was a little dazed today. "Why didn't you go up with Xiaojun just now?"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Yao looked a little embarrassed, and Lin Man immediately understood that he was afraid of Pei Yan and didn't want to make things difficult for her. After all, he had quarreled with Pei Yan over Gan Tian, ​​and his family even went bankrupt because of it.

"Zhao Yao, Gan Tian is now free. If you still have this intention, go back. But you have to be more careful when you are with her."

If it were in the past, Lin Man would not have advised like this, but Gan Tian has now completely reached her lowest point. If Zhao Yao goes back, she might agree. Who can tell about matters of the heart?

Lin Man thought so, but she didn't expect Zhao Yao's attitude to be very firm. "No, you misunderstood. Tiantian and I... I only have blessings for her, but I can't give her what she likes. After all, we are not on the same path, so I won't force it."

Lin Man couldn't tell whether his voice expressed relief or regret.

After returning home, Xiaojun opened the information, "Ye Qingqing, 21 years old, from Nancheng. Her parents are both farmers in their hometown. She was hospitalized some time ago and owed a large sum of money, which used up all the family savings. Her family is not well off, so she works part-time every year to earn tuition. Her sister is one year older than her and just graduated this year. She is interning at Pei's. She works part-time in a coffee shop and will graduate next year."

Lin Man turned the corner of the paper, "Does she have a boyfriend?"

Xiaojun took a sip of water. "Her? During her four years in college, she didn't even have a single scandal. She worked diligently every day, and besides attending classes, she also worked part-time. Some people pursued her, but in the end they all thought she was boring and gave up. She was one of the types that teachers liked in school. She actively responded to calls and participated in activities. She sang and danced, and won many awards."

Lin Man nodded. She remembered that Ye Qingyu said she wanted to introduce a boyfriend to her sister in Pei’s company, but her sister already had someone she liked. Rubbing her temples, Lin Man washed her face, and fell asleep on Xiaojun’s bed.

She slept for a whole day. In the evening, Lin Man woke up in a daze and vaguely saw a figure sitting at the head of the bed. She suddenly opened her eyes, but her vision was blurry. Until the lights came on, a pair of cold hands touched her forehead, and a familiar breath came to her face.

Lin Man suddenly sat up and pressed down the hand that kept wandering around her forehead, "Why are you here?"

"Where's Xiaojun?"

Pei Yan half-pushed himself up, frowning slightly, "Fever?"

"Why didn't you call me?"

Lin Man looked up blankly. She didn't know whether it was because of the fever or because her brain was not clear after waking up, but she couldn't understand Pei Yan's words for a moment.

She...called him?

What a niche word.

Lin Man concealed the expression in her eyes. In fact, she seldom called Pei Yan for her own affairs. She was unfamiliar with calling Pei Yan. It was not the first time that someone had a fever at home, but she just managed to get through it.

Using silence instead of answering is what Lin Man is best at after getting back together with Pei Yan. At least she won't say the wrong thing.

Pei Yan sighed. The dim light above his head illuminated his face, which flickered on and off, just like him, dark and unpredictable.

"Lin Man, we are husband and wife."

Lin Man looked up blankly, only to feel her head getting heavier and heavier.

"Isn't it normal for couples to quarrel and argue?"

Lin Man understood this time. What he meant was that the dispute in the hospital today could only be regarded as a quarrel and did not represent anything.

Lin Man didn't expect Pei Yan to say this, and she didn't expect him to think this way. She originally thought that after what happened in the hospital, they were over, she didn't have to go back to Yuanshan Villa, and he wouldn't look for her again. But she didn't expect him to say that they were having a quarrel as a couple.

"My head feels heavy."

Lin Man frowned, rubbed his temple, and his voice was a little soft.

"You have a fever."

As he spoke, Pei Yan put his hand into Lin Man's underwear.

Instantly, she was startled! She stepped back repeatedly, and her words were a little slurred, "What are you doing? I'm still sick..."

Is he a beast in human clothing? How could he do that to her even when she was so weak?

But the next moment, Pei Yan took out a thermometer from her armpit. He looked at the temperature on the thermometer and said, "Squeamish."

He looked at Lin Man deeply.

"What did you think I was going to do?"

"You look half dead. You usually act like a dead fish. Now you're asking me to sleep in the morgue."

"Pei Yan!"

Lin Man picked up a pillow and threw it at Pei Yan's face. He clenched his hand and held Lin Man down with his backhand, "If you don't want the injection, be quiet."

Lin Man's cheeks turned red as he scolded her, "Get out."

Seeing Pei Yan again would only make her condition worse.

A warm, wet towel was placed on her forehead. Pei Yan glanced at her and walked out. However, he did not leave. Instead, he started to handle his official business at the desk where he was eating.

"Where's Xiaojun?"

Pei Yan didn't answer her, Lin Man had fallen into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, she felt much better. She threw back the quilt and stretched out toward the window that was flooded with sunlight.

Pei Yan was no longer in the room.

Just the suit jacket draped over the chair can prove that everything that happened last night was not a dream or an illusion, but a real thing.

click-

The sound of the door being unlocked brought Lin Man back to her senses, "Manman? Great, you're awake!"

The plastic bags that Xiaojun was holding in both hands fell to the ground. She rushed over and gave Lin Man a hug. She staggered back several steps, "Okay, it's okay."

Lin Man, who had just recovered, comforted Xiaojun who kept rubbing against her in her arms, "Manman! You scared me to death. I also fell asleep in a daze yesterday. If Boss Pei hadn't suddenly come over and noticed that you looked bad, you would have been delirious from the fever. It's all my fault, wuwuwu..."

"It's my fault for not taking good care of you. If I had noticed something was wrong with you earlier, I would have carried you to the hospital earlier."

"Okay, I'm fine now. Where's Pei Yan? Is he gone?"

Xiaojun took the vegetables out of the bag and put them in the refrigerator. "Boss Pei sat here all night yesterday. He heard that there was an emergency meeting this morning, so he immediately went back to the company. Let's have cabbage soup today. I bought several fresh cabbages!"

"...Xiaojun, I'll give Pei Yan the coat."

Lin Man originally wanted to take a day off today, but thinking about Xiaojun's cabbage soup, she made an excuse to go back to the company.

Originally she thought no one knew, but just as she sat down at her workstation, the call bell for her position rang. Lin Man waited for Pei Yan's voice, but he said nothing. After thinking about it, Lin Man took Pei Yan's coat that had fallen behind, pushed the door and walked in.

Pei Yan put down the pen in his hand. The beautiful scenery in front of the floor-to-ceiling window made people feel comfortable. "Your coat."

She casually put her coat on the table, and Pei Yan stroked the fabric of the coat with his fingers, "Why did you come here suddenly? Is the fever gone?"

"much better."

Pei Yan nodded. He seemed to have a lot of things to do. Lin Man only sat for a short while before the door was opened by countless people, who reported their work and then closed it again.

But everyone who approached looked at Lin Man with shock. This time, Lin Man did not hide. She showed her face generously and no longer concealed her relationship with Pei Yan.

When she looked up again, she found that everyone in the room had left, and Pei Yan was staring at her with a raised brow.

Lin Man got up and made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Pei Yan. "Why are you looking at me?"

Pei Yan just smiled and didn't say anything.

After he had dealt with all the matters, he said, "Mom is back from abroad, wait until next week..."

boom--

Before Pei Yan could finish his words, the door was pushed open.

Ye Qingqing's cheeks were rosy, she leaned against the door frame and gasped for breath. She was wearing a safety helmet for riding an electric bike, "Mr. Pei..."

"I've been looking for you for a long time."

Lin Man raised her eyes, sat on the sofa, calmly picked up the coffee she had brewed for Pei Yan, and took a sip.

Pei Yan frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Qingqing with deep eyes, but did not move, "How did you get up here?"

His tone was slightly deep. Many people who knew him did not dare to look him in the eye. However, Ye Qingqing was not afraid of him at all. She was like a girl who had not experienced much of the world. After her breath calmed down a little, she said, "I'll bring the coffee..."

As she spoke, she raised the bag in her hand.

Pei Yan's brows relaxed slightly, but his eyes remained calm.

“I didn’t order coffee.”

"I know!" Ye Qingqing raised her chin, the sunlight fell on her eyelashes, which were long and smart. "It was decided by someone else."

As if thinking Ye Qingqing was being too nagging, Pei Yan knocked on the table impatiently, "Let's talk about the matter."

Ye Qingqing walked in straight away, took out a knitted sweater from her backpack and handed it to Pei Yan, "Last time... I stained your clothes. I really can't afford to pay millions, but our Ye family has a family motto that we never owe others anything. This is knitted by me, and it can also be considered hand-sewn. If you accept it, we'll be even."

Lin Man concealed the expression in her eyes, stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Pei Yan didn't notice.
