Quarrel

Lin Xi returned home and lay on the sofa. Pei Jiashu also came back shortly after.

“Pei Jiashu…” Lin Xi stood up from the sofa, twisting his hands as he looked at Pei Jiashu. For some reason, he felt like a kindergarten kid who had gotten into a fight and was running home to tell their parents.

“It’s just that, some people in the company are spreading rumors about me in the WeChat group, but I don’t even know who it is. Jiang Yuan told me to call the police…”

“Who? Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?” Pei Jiashu put down his bag and walked into the living room.

The concern on his face wasn’t fake. Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “I was thinking, would calling the police have any impact on the company’s reputation? What they said are all lies, and it doesn’t really affect me.”

“Who said it doesn’t affect you? Call the police right now. Did you save the evidence?” Pei Jiashu ran a hand through his hair, pushing all the stray strands from his forehead back.

Lin Xi was right under his nose every day, and this kind of thing actually happened.

Lin Xi took out the chat logs that Jiang Yuan had sent him. Pei Jiashu was about to snatch the phone to look at them, but Lin Xi said, “Forget it, it’s all just nasty words in there.”

Pei Jiashu forcefully took the phone and meticulously scrolled through every message.

“Isn’t this just pure bullshit?” Pei Jiashu was furious as he read. He plopped down on the sofa and forwarded the messages to Assistant Song, telling Assistant Song to investigate who this person was.

“Right? It’s just a bunch of people with nothing better to do. That car is clearly yours, what’s wrong with me riding in your car! And that hotel, he’s just sour because he can’t go himself.”

Lin Xi also plopped down next to Pei Jiashu. Unlike when he was with Jiang Yuan and saw these messages, in front of Pei Jiashu, he was visibly more relaxed and could even angrily denounce the people spreading the rumors.

“Wait, that’s my phone!” Lin Xi watched Pei Jiashu use his phone to send messages to Assistant Song, telling Assistant Song to investigate who sent the messages.

“What are you afraid of? Assistant Song already knows about our relationship. It doesn’t matter whether I send it from my phone or your phone.”

Pei Jiashu only returned the phone to Lin Xi after sending the messages. He grabbed Lin Xi’s arm, making Lin Xi sit next to him. “These chat logs are from days ago. You didn’t tell me for so long?”

“Aren’t I telling you now?” Lin Xi shook off Pei Jiashu’s hand.

Pei Jiashu looked at Lin Xi. “You usually act like a tyrant in front of me, but when others bully you, you don’t even fight back. You’re being bullied like this.”

“Who’s acting like a tyrant?” Lin Xi subconsciously retorted, but when he met Pei Jiashu’s eyes, he immediately looked away. “I’m just afraid that something will happen to your company, and you’ll have to go home and inherit your billion-dollar fortune.”

Seeing that Lin Xi could still joke with him, Pei Jiashu knew that Lin Xi was okay.

“Then I should thank you.” He chuckled softly. “Don’t go to the company tomorrow. Rest at home. Assistant Song will find out tomorrow, and I’ll accompany you to the police station.”

“No need.”

“No, I must go with you.” Pei Jiashu said without accepting any refusal.

The next morning, Pei Jiashu drove Lin Xi to the police station to report the case. The news from Assistant Song also came, and after the company’s investigation, the small account’s IP was locked to a hotel, and the person who stayed in that hotel for a long time was Zeng Zhiyang.

Lin Xi was not surprised by this result at all.

The Omega Protection Association and the Public Security Bureau took action at the same time and brought Zeng Zhiyang to the Public Security Bureau.

Lin Xi took out a mask from his pocket and put it on Pei Jiashu’s face, carefully reminding him: “Don’t let others recognize you, we are in a secret marriage.”

Pei Jiashu was a little unhappy. Obviously, they were openly married and obtained a certificate, but now it made him seem like Lin Xi’s secret lover.

But Lin Xi’s action of tiptoeing to put on the mask for him was very gentle, his smooth fingers gently brushed past his ears, and Lin Xi’s breath with a sweet honey scent blew on his face. He narrowed his eyes, enjoying this moment. Finally, he nodded reservedly.

Because the circumstances were not serious, the punishment for Zeng Zhiyang was at most fifteen days of detention.

Zeng Zhiyang stared fiercely at Lin Xi, especially when he saw the person behind Lin Xi. He chuckled lightly, “Where did I wrong you? You’re just a small anchor who entered the company by being supported by someone. You can even get big anchors like Jiang Yuan and Xiao Chen to stand by you. It’s really not simple.”

Lin Xi folded his arms across his chest and said to Zeng Zhiyang: “Tch, I think you are the one being supported by someone, otherwise why does everyone look like they are being supported? The reason why I have a good relationship with Jiang Yuan is my personal charm, why don’t you have this ability? You’re just thinking about spreading rumors because you failed to confess your love, you really have no taste.”

Hearing the keyword, Pei Jiashu instantly leaned over with dissatisfaction. Although Lin Xi wouldn’t let him speak, his presence was too strong.

Lin Xi rubbed his head. “I’ll explain it to you later.”

“By the way, officer, I have evidence of his sexual harassment.” Lin Xi suddenly remembered that Zeng Zhiyang had touched him that day, and the camera had captured it all.

“Still sexual harassment?” Pei Jiashu couldn’t help but speak into Lin Xi’s ear. “Absolutely depraved.”

Lin Xi opened his phone and found the video material that had been imported that day. In the video, it could be clearly seen that Zeng Zhiyang had touched him several times.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this either?” Pei Jiashu’s eyes were bloodshot. If they weren’t at the police station, he probably would have directly beaten Zeng Zhiyang.

With Lin Xi’s evidence, Zeng Zhiyang denied it this time.

“I want to find a lawyer. He seduced me first.” Zeng Zhiyang said to Lin Xi. The backer behind Lin Xi being able to enter the hot spring hotel was probably an accident, otherwise Lin Xi would definitely not be a small blogger without even 100,000 fans.

So as long as he didn’t admit it, and his family hired a lawyer, he still had a chance.

Pei Jiashu walked over and slapped Zeng Zhiyang directly.

This slap was not weak at all, and Zeng Zhiyang’s face immediately swelled up.

He was stunned by the slap, looking blankly at Pei Jiashu. After a while, he began to curse, “Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me, you two wait, I’m going to make you regret it.”

Zeng Zhiyang spreading rumors was a certainty, and as soon as he moved, the police restrained him.

“Sorry, officer, he insulted my wife, and I was emotionally agitated and hit him.”

Pei Jiashu’s attitude was so good that the police didn’t say much.

Finding a lawyer and going to court were things to be resolved later. Pei Jiashu first took Lin Xi home, and he held Lin Xi’s hand tightly all the way.

“Pei Jiashu, why is your grip so strong, let go of me quickly.” Lin Xi shouted at Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu relaxed the strength in his hand, but still held his hand, taking him home and putting him on the sofa, before interrogating him, “Explain it to me.”

“It’s just that he confessed his love to me, but I rejected him, and then he became angry and spread rumors about me, and sexually harassed me.”

Lin Xi said it easily, but Pei Jiashu felt angry when he heard it. He wanted to question Lin Xi why he didn’t tell him when it first happened, so that he wouldn’t have allowed what happened later to happen.

But he had no standing to ask Lin Xi these questions.

He took off the mask on his face, and Lin Xi’s words seemed to still be in his ears, don’t forget that they are in a fake marriage.

It was he who personally talked to Lin Xi about the fake marriage, and it was he who personally drafted those clauses, and personally watched Lin Xi sign them.

But now, he desperately wanted to tear up that contract.

As soon as the words came out, they turned into, “How could someone confess to an omega like you? You know he has ulterior motives towards you, yet you still had a second solo makeup session with him.”

Lin Xi was stunned, and then, like a machine gun, he started scolding, “Aren’t you sick? What’s wrong with someone confessing to me? I’ve been confessed to since I was a child, meeting you is the biggest Waterloo in my life.”

“If it weren’t for you, my mother would have found countless alphas for me, maybe I would have already met someone better than you and entered the palace of marriage with a gentle alpha.”

The alpha’s body suddenly pressed down, and both of his hands were grabbed by Pei Jiashu and pinned above his head. He was pressed on the sofa, and the words he hadn’t finished saying were stuck in his mouth. He looked at Pei Jiashu in a daze.

Pei Jiashu’s eyes seemed to have a storm brewing, about to erupt.

Lin Xi felt the danger. “Madman, what are you going to do?”

Pei Jiashu gritted his back teeth. “You still want to marry someone else?”

“Our contract is only for five years. After five years, I’m only twenty-seven. What’s wrong with me finding someone else to marry?” Lin Xi said boldly. “Do you still want to control me for the rest of my life?”

His eyes stared unblinkingly at Pei Jiashu. These words blurted out, but they asked the question he wanted to ask in his heart.

Was everything beautiful during this period just his daydream, or was it mutual attraction?

Pei Jiashu obviously paused, and the strength in his hand also lessened a lot. He avoided Lin Xi’s eyes, not knowing what he was avoiding.

Lin Xi’s heart turned cold, and he directly pushed Pei Jiashu away.

“We are in a cooperative relationship. The Zeng Zhiyang matter was originally my own business, and there was no need to tell you. But because he is an anchor under your company, I thought about telling you.”

Lin Xi straightened out his messed-up clothes, and didn’t look at Pei Jiashu’s expression the whole time. “I remember the content of the contract. I won’t have any relationship with anyone during these five years of fake marriage.”

“By the way, don’t come to my room tonight. I need to rest.”

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he walked back to his room without looking back.

Pei Jiashu was still standing there in a daze until the sound of Lin Xi’s room closing rang out. Only then did he collapse on the carpet.

He grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration. Pei Jiashu also couldn’t figure out how he could turn the good atmosphere between the two into this.

Clearly, those words were not what he wanted to say.

But not one of them could be said.

Because as early as half a year ago at the graduation ceremony, the relationship between the two of them was marked with a full stop by him.
