"Can you really take care of me? Can you agree to anything I ask for?" Pei Qingcheng looked at Tang Kefeng's amber eyes and asked.

Tang Kefeng was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "Of course, Qingcheng, you know how I feel about you. Last year, my family arranged a blind date for me in the Huang Family, and I rejected it all. My dad was very angry, and I did it all for your sake."

"Alright." Pei Qingcheng lowered her gaze slightly, her long eyelashes casting a shadow across her jade-like face.

Tang Kefeng's heart was beating wildly in his chest. Pei Qingcheng's plum like face could not bear to look away after a single glance.

He held onto Pei Qingcheng's shoulder as his hands trembled slightly, "Then, Qingcheng, are you saying that you've agreed? If you leave Ye Wen's side, I will take good care of you."

"You know that too." Pei Qingcheng said softly, "The Pei clan is in its current state."

"Didn't Ye Wen already invest a large amount of money into the operation of the Pei clan?" Tang Kefeng said.

"Yes, but that was a promise between me and Ye Wen. If I leave him, he will definitely withdraw his investment immediately. At that time, the Pei clan will be in danger again." Pei Qingcheng lifted her head, tears glistening in her eyes, causing her face to look even more charming and enchanting.

Tang Kefeng suddenly became tongue-tied. He swallowed his saliva and stuttered as he said, "Does Ye Yan not have a contract to invest in the Pei family? He can't just randomly withdraw it."

Actually, there was no need for Tang Kefeng to continue on with his words. Pei Qingcheng already understood what he was trying to say.

Tang Kefeng loved Pei Qingcheng, but he couldn't afford to spend so much money on her.

Pei Qingcheng smiled as her tone of voice turned gentle, sounding just like a skylark.

Since it was spoken today, it would be more accurate to say that it would allow him to understand what she actually was in Tang Kefeng's heart.

"But the wind." Pei Qingcheng gently said, "If you want me, I am willing to leave Ye Wen. So, you will do the same to Ye Wen as well, right?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Tang Kefeng's white forehead. His handsome face was flushed red, as if he was engaged in an intense mental battle.

Since the moment he chose not to save his brother in the hospital, Pei Qingcheng had already known the answer to that question.

Everyone's love is different.

Tang Kefeng's love for Pei Qingcheng was built on the foundation of not paying anything at all.

Now that he was asked to save the Pei Family, he was scared stiff.

Pei Qingcheng's lips curled up into a mocking smile as she sighed, "Then we can't do it anymore. If we leave Ye Wen's side, the Pei household will collapse."

"Actually, Qingcheng." Tang Kefeng held her shoulders and continued, "I don't think a girl like you needs to carry so many things on your back. It would be too much work for you to carry it alone, so you might as well give up."

"I promised my brother that when he comes out, I'll give the Pei clan to him in one piece!"

"I wonder when he will come out again!" Tang Kefeng blurted out, only after realizing that Pei Qingcheng was looking at him did he change his words, "What I mean is, haven't I been punished for eight years? Are you really going to stay by Ye Wen's side for the rest of that time?"

"Then do you have a better idea?" Pei Qingcheng asked.

"I don't think that even if you can't protect Madam Pei, Zhijun won't blame you."

Pei Qingcheng looked into Tang Kefeng's eyes and felt that he was getting more and more unfamiliar with her.

Who knew where that kind and magnanimous big brother of before had gone to.

Perhaps, he had never changed, only Pei Qingcheng did not recognize him.

Tang Kexin, Tang Kefeng, had never been sincere to her.

Tang Kefeng only wanted her, but he wouldn't help her out. He would only make her give up.

In comparison, Ye Wen was too tired to invest such a huge sum of money in the Pei household for the sake of Pei Qingcheng. This made her feel that she was very expensive.

In front of Tang Kefeng, she was cheap.

With a few simple words, how could he take care of her?

Asking her to give up on the Pei family was taking care of her?

Pei Qingcheng gently lifted her hand and took Tang Kefeng's hand off her shoulder. With a regretful tone, she said, "That won't do. But sometimes, loving someone is expensive. It's not just exchanging two words for it."

Pei Qingcheng's tone was taunting as she walked past Tang Kefeng.

Some people were able to figure it out with a few words.

The Pei family's huge financial loophole scared Tang Kefeng.

So, should she be grateful to Ye Wen?

At least Ye Wen did not hesitate to put in such a large amount of money for her.

Pei Qingcheng walked out of the forest, and suddenly, a silhouette flickered and ran off on a different path.

She ran very fast, but Pei Qingcheng could still recognize who it was. It was none other than Tang Kexin.

Today, she was wearing a light red dress, purposely trying to imitate the outfit that Pei Qingcheng always liked, in order to woo Ye Qingcheng.

It seemed like she had already heard what she and Tang Kefeng had said.

In Tang Kexin's heart, Pei Qingcheng silently recited these three words: Our friendship has been destroyed at this moment.

The study room of the Ye family was the quietest place in the entire Ye family.

Nightingale stood by the window and watched. Ding Han hid to the side and looked at his phone. He then turned off his voice and watched the pantomime.

Just as he turned off his cell phone, he heard Ye Xiu say without even looking at him, "Give me your cell phone."

"Ugh." Ding Han paused for a moment, then closed his eyes and smiled, "Master, a video sent by a young lady who is interested in me, you would be embarrassed if you were to watch it too."

"How many times have you lied to me?" Ye Wen slowly turned around with his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes fell on Ding Han.

What Ding Han feared the most was the look in his master's eyes. It was as though a gamma knife could slice open a person's chest and see what he was thinking.

It was definitely not his forte to lie in front of Ye Xiwen's tiredness. Ding Han hesitated for a moment and then handed the cellphone in his hand to Ye Wen.

He had a premonition that a great storm was about to arrive.

It was a video from an anonymous person.

The female lead in the video was Pei Qingcheng, while the male lead was Tang Kefeng.

They were standing at the edge of the artificial lake at Ye's house, facing each other. They were staring at each other, looking extremely intimate.

As for Tang Kefeng, he had his hand on Pei Qingcheng's shoulders. Pei Qingcheng raised her head and looked at him with eyes full of emotion.

Tang Kefeng said to Pei Qingcheng, "Leave Ye Wen, I'll take care of you."

At the same time, Pei Qingcheng pursed her lips, "Fine."

The video came to an abrupt end. It was very short, barely a minute, but it was enough to make Ding Han's heart race.

Regardless of the intentions of the person who sent the video, this video is real.

In fact, his dear wife seemed to be out of it.

Trembling in fear, Ding Han hid to the side, waiting for the arrival of the storm.

One minute passed, two minutes passed.

Nightingale was still in the same position as before, not moving at all.

Did his master pass out from anger?

Although he knew that his wife didn't love him, at least she loved him as a dead man.

But, what did it matter to Tang Kefeng if he made it out of nowhere?

I can't even compare to a fingernail, okay?

Ding Han lowered his head and bowed, begging for the wind not to blow on him.

Finally, Ye Chong felt tired and returned the phone to Ding Han, "Here you go."

When Ding Han picked up his phone, he took a peek at his grandpa's expression. It was very calm. His black pupils were like the tranquil night sky, without any signs of a violent storm brewing.

I'm afraid that I've gone mad with anger.

Ding Han took the phone and put it in his pocket. Nightmare was still calm, and there was no trace of emotion on his face.

This matter was a little strange, and Ding Han held the tired overcoat in his hands, "Master, the banquet is almost over, shall we go back first?"

"Hm." Ye Wen put on the coat that Ding Han handed him and walked to the door.

Weird, too weird.

With such calmness, could he go back later? Could Zhuang Shengxiao's Dream have been blown up?

Ye Wen could sense that Ding Han was staring at him, so he suddenly slowed down his steps. His voice was very soft but strong, "Inclined eyes, they are not that bad."

One sentence, nine words. This made Ding Han's heart drop to the bottom of his stomach.

I don't believe the contents of the video at all. That's good, that's good.

"Check who sent the video over. There will definitely be more at the end. It's just that I misunderstood the meaning behind the video." "I know Qing Qing doesn't love me, but her personality won't allow her to be with someone like Tang Kefeng."

Qing Qing didn't love me. These five words were said with heartache.

Ding Han was on the verge of bursting into tears.

If other women heard this, they would probably fly over.

Nightingale walked out of the hall and greeted Madam Ye.

He had stayed at Ye's house for a long time today, so Madam Ye looked at him with slight bitterness. "What? You can't even stay at your own house for one night?"

"Is it not enough for so many people to accompany you?" Nightingale lowered her eyes and played with the exquisite lighter in her hand.

"They are them. I only have one son."

With a faint smile in his eyes, Ye Wen put the lighter back into his pocket and said, "Another day, I'll invite you to Zhuang Shengxiao to have a meal. I want to pour out the dishes for you. She has excellent culinary skills."

With his tone full of boasting, Madam Ye could only follow his words and say, "Then I'll wait."

Ye Wen walked towards the main entrance of Ye Ye's house and saw Pei Qingcheng at the entrance of the northern garden.

She seemed to be waiting for him in the doorway, a dress of pale pink flowers on a white background, her lips red and white, her curly hair loose on her shoulders.

Ye Wen walked over and wrapped her up in his coat.

"Isn't it cold to wear so little while standing here?" Nightingale tidied up her collar while saying softly, like a nagging little boyfriend.

Pei Qingcheng did not say a word as she silently allowed Ye Wen to help her straighten her hair and dress. Finally, Ye Wen helped her button up her clothes and walked towards the car with her arms around her shoulders.

After walking a few steps, Pei Qingcheng suddenly stopped and raised her head to look at him, "Your love for me is equivalent to the amount of money you spend on the Pei household?"

Pei Qingcheng's question was somewhat bafflingly strange, but Ye Wen continued to look at her quietly. His calm gaze slowly calmed her swaying heart.

"My love for you is the same as taking away my life."

One word at a time, one syllable after another, was slowly transmitted to Pei Qingcheng's ears.
