Pei Qingcheng had eaten most of the food that Steward Hu brought, and her stomach was warm and comfortable.

Fortunately, she didn't run away just now. Otherwise, she would have been found guilty of not putting Madam Ye in her eyes.

Perhaps Nightingale was right. The human heart was separated by the sternum and the skin, so who could see what they were thinking?

She put down the small cup and started searching the hall for Ye Xiu's figure.

It was not too far away just a moment ago, but now it was gone.

He turned his head and saw him in a corner.

He was not alone, but he was with Shen Lu.

Shen Cui was holding a pink cocktail and leaning on a tall table, talking to Ye Wen. They did not know what was going on, but Shen Cui was all smiles, smiling so much that his head was resting on Ye Wen's shoulder.

The tiredness of not liking others touching him in close proximity did not even have the slightest trace of revulsion.

He sipped the light blue cocktail, the blue liquid shining in his eyes like a blue sea.

The usual cold and detached fatigue, when accompanied by Shen Lo, seemed to have a much gentler atmosphere.

Pei Qingcheng subconsciously bit her lips again.

She did not understand what kind of existence Shen Ti Lu was.

If she was a love rival, her attitude towards Pei Qingcheng was extremely good.

However, she definitely loved him because of the way she looked at him. It was the way a woman looked at the man she loved.

Love him, yet able to accommodate the woman that appeared beside him. It could only be said that Shen Li's Duan position was not of ordinary high level.

Her stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she covered her stomach. Maybe she had eaten too much of the sweet food just now.

"Inclined." Tang Kexin's voice rang out from beside her, and she sat down next to him. Tang Kexin's voice rang out from within Tang Kexin, and she sat next to him.

The moment Tang Kexin's hand touched her shoulder, Pei Qingcheng felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She immediately dodged to the side and looked straight at Tang Kexin, "Yes."

"Didn't you just leave?" Tang Kexin did not pay attention to Pei Qingcheng's reaction as all of her attention was focused on Nightingale who was standing in the corner.

"I'm hungry, come back and eat something." Pei Qingcheng spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Oh." Tang Kexin's eyes were still staring unblinkingly at Nightmare and Shen Lo. Her eyes were almost popping out as she said, "Qing Qing, you've met your biggest love rival!"

Pei Qingcheng didn't know what she was going to say, and directly looked at her.

Tang Kexin continued, "Shen Kui is a very powerful person. She's a strong woman at such a young age, and her EQ is extremely high. I've coaxed everyone in the Ye Clan to like her, especially since Madam Ye has already taken her as her future daughter-in-law."

Tang Kexin was very clear about what had happened to Shen Lo. It could be seen that she had done a lot of homework.

If it was said that Tang Kexin had nothing to say about Ye Wen, she would not pay so much attention to them. She knew them even better than Pei Qingcheng.

Pei Qingcheng harrumphed, "You sure know quite a lot."

"To know oneself and know the enemy, one is invincible." Tang Ke felt that something wasn't right as he hurriedly added, "I'm here to help you find out. Her existence is definitely a threat to your position."

"When can I tell you that I care a lot about my relationship with Nightmare?" It seemed as though Tang Kexin had taken her place in their relationship.

"You don't care? Then why did you come to attend Madam Ye's birthday party?" Tang Kexin asked.

"I hope I can attend. I'm his wife now, so attending my mother-in-law's birthday party is a very common thing, right?"

Tang Ke's heart was stuck in her throat. Her face immediately flushed red before turning pale again.

Pei Qingcheng had never tried to win her over, and Tang Ke was obviously surprised.

Tang Kexin froze for a moment before she suddenly said, "Could it be that you've forgotten how Yin Ha died?"

Tang Kexin was reminding her that Nightbreak Trickster was her enemy, and she must never forget him.

Just like Tang Kexin had often reminded her in the past two years.

But today, it sounded especially ear-piercing.

Even a fool could tell that she was trying to sow discord.

Although this was the truth, Pei Qingcheng could clearly hear the intentions behind his words.

Pei Qingcheng laughed coldly, "I'll go get something to drink."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the wine area.

She didn't want to continue chatting with Tang Kexin. The more they chatted, the more her heart ached.

In the past, Tang Kexin was like a family member in her heart.

But it turned out to be so fragile between them, nothing at all.

Even though she felt uncomfortable here, she did not leave early.

He had already endured for so long, so he didn't mind enduring for a while longer.

She was drinking cocktails in a corner, and when she tasted them she knew they must have been made by a master bartender.

The ratio of alcohol to juice was perfect, and one waiter told her, "The cocktail you're drinking is called unforgettable."

Pei Qingcheng chuckled, "Cocktails are so interesting. You can call it whatever you want."

"No." The waiter pointed to the pale orange liquid inside the quilt in her hand and said, "This is made from the extract of Spark Orchid, and the language of Spark Orchid is unforgettable and unforgettable."

"No matter what flowery language it is, it was bestowed by humans." Pei Qingcheng finished her cocktail in one gulp. "If humans said that chrysanthemums bloomed in glory, people would not use it to sweep the tomb. Instead, they would use it as a decoration on their clothes."

The waiter smiled and did not refute, but only reminded him in a small voice, "The alcohol content of this wine is high, so drink less."

With that, the waiter carried the tray full of empty wine cups and left.

It didn't matter. It was better to be drunk.

If she was drunk, she wouldn't need to think about so many things that she couldn't figure out.

She had just picked up her second glass of wine when someone suddenly called out to her from behind, "Pei Qingcheng?"

She turned around. It was a woman she did not know.

She frowned slightly, because the women called her by her first name. They didn't know each other, which was quite impolite.

"You are?" Pei Qingcheng stared at her.

The woman was over twenty years old and wore exquisite makeup. She was also dressed in gorgeous clothes and was covered in jewelry. The diamond earrings on her earlobes jingled.

"What's your relationship with Chairman Ye?" The woman didn't tell him her name and instead questioned him directly.

Pei Qingcheng furrowed her brows, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Why did you cut the cake with Lady Ye? I heard you came with her?" The woman asked in an aggressive manner.

Although he didn't know who she was, he at least knew that she was definitely one of Ye Wu Chen's bewitched sisters.

It seemed that the tiredness of a woman would never appear by his side. Today, he had brought her here, and this had truly angered the masses.

Pei Qingcheng took a sip of her wine and ignored the woman's question, turning away instead.

However, the woman became even more anxious as she grabbed onto Pei Qingcheng's shoulder, "I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

The storage ring on the woman's finger stabbed into Pei Qingcheng's shoulder. Her shoulder was thin to begin with and didn't have much flesh to begin with. To be pressed so hard against the storage ring, it was truly painful.

She could not bear to be disturbed, but she did not know how to answer.

"She's my wife." Suddenly, Ye Wen's tired voice sounded from above her head.

Next, the woman's hand was blocked by Ye Xiu, who then pulled her into his arms.

The woman stared blankly at Nightmare. She probably hadn't expected this kind of situation and was completely stunned.

Madame? Do you have a wife?

Yes, two years ago, I heard that Nightingale was engaged to be married, but I don't know if there was a wedding, and I haven't seen any women around her in the past two years.

The woman's face was changing colors like a palette. She was quickly defeated by Ye Xiwen's tired and sharp gaze.

She lowered her head and muttered, "I was just asking."

When she raised her head again, Nightingale had already left with her arm around Pei Qingcheng's shoulders.

Today, Pei Qingcheng had come to participate in Madam Ye's birthday party. This meant that her identity had been revealed.

I believe that woman will spread the news of what she heard very quickly.

However, Pei Qingcheng did not want such an outcome. It seemed that she would have to hold a press conference after separating from Ye Wen a year from now, in case she was still the enemy of all the females in the Mo Residence.

When they reached a corner of the hall, Pei Qingcheng gently pulled herself out of his embrace.

"Tired?" The man's hand suddenly came up to her face, and the back of his thumb lightly caressed her cheek.

Towards Ye Wen's gentle actions, Pei Qingcheng always felt uncomfortable.

Furthermore, she felt that all of the women's gazes in the hall were directed towards her.

It was as if she had turned into a lump of honeycomb coal, her machine-gun-like gaze shooting out countless holes.

However, she could not refuse the customer's touch.

Her status as Mrs. Ye was not something she could resist.

Besides, she also saw Tang Ke's eyes that were on the verge of spitting fire.

Suddenly, she felt a comfortable feeling in her heart.

She had been toyed with by Tang Kexin for so many years that she treated him as a good friend and confidant.

And Tang Kexin only treated her as a fool, a bridge that allowed one to get close to the end of the world.

As a result, even if it was for Tang Kexin, she still had to continue playing the part.

She suddenly drank the wine in the cup and then casually placed the cup on the table and moved closer to him.

Nestled in Ye Ci's embrace, she placed her hand on his chest and smiled with a hint of drunkenness. "Since you've exposed my identity, won't it take a bit more effort for me to leave in a year?"

The fingers on his face stiffened, but his tired tone remained indifferent. "You're Mrs. Ye, but you're always thinking about the separation after a year."

"There are too many candidates for my position. If I don't give them a seat, I'm afraid I'll be hacked into pieces." Pei Qingcheng cast a sidelong glance at Tang Ke Xin, who was gritting her teeth and craning her neck to look in their direction.

Pei Qingcheng stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Ye Wen's neck, sticking her entire body to his. She was like a shameless little monkey as her gaze slid back and forth across Ye Xiu's face.

It was only because he was a bit drunk that he could look at him so brazenly, to see why all women loved this face.
