    Chapter 26

    “…Jiang Huai’an is resentful of Zhou Bo’s transfer. Although he doesn’t have deep feelings for the other party, Pei Qingyan’s move to disturb him and arbitrarily touch his people this time has made it clear that he wants to confront him – for the past ten years, the two have been tit for tat, and they are incompatible with each other.”

    Xu Zhiyi stopped reading.

    There was a ringing in my ears, and my heart felt like a huge stone had been dropped, causing a stormy sea.

    How strange, she thought.Reason told her that she should stop there, but her eyes still glanced at the next page uncontrollably.

    “Half a year later, Pei Qingyan got divorced, and he seemed to be a completely different person, focusing all his attention on work. It was also at this time that Jiang Huaiyu sensed the opportunity to completely bring down the other party.”

    The font at the back has been erased, and the pages are completely blank.

    divorce?How could it be…

    Xu Zhiyi flipped through the book, trying to find the follow-up.However, as if he had guessed her thoughts and deliberately whetted her appetite, it was not until the last page of the book that the small words appeared again:

    “…Absolute victory. Jiang Huaiyu was sitting at the head of the Pei Group, looking down at the senior employees with different expressions. ‘That woman has completely disappeared from here.’ He spoke slowly, and there was belated pride in the corners of his eyes.”

    Staring blankly at the final period, Xu Zhi’s face gradually lost color.

    This is not true.

    Her mind was in a mess. She closed the book with a snap and began to wonder if she was dreaming.

    “Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu?”

    She turned her head and found Qian Hui looking at her with worry.

    “You’ve been lying down for an hour. Are you feeling unwell? I’ll help you ask for leave from Professor Zhang.”

    Xu Zhiyi said nothing.

    She picked up the materials spread out on the table and opened a few pages at random – all of them were newly published results of the research team.

    How could she strangely regard it as a novel?

    Questions lingered in her mind, and she felt a dull pain in her head, “Did I just fall asleep?”

    “I don’t know. There was no response even when I called you. It shocked me.” Qian Hui patted her chest.

    It seems so.

    Xu Zhiyi pressed her sunglasses and recalled that weird dream.

    Everything in the dream was so real that she couldn’t help but believe that she and Pei Qingyan would divorce in the future.

    Yes, she had also seen her name, which happened to be mentioned during the divorce.

    “Didi!”

    The phone vibrated, and Pei Qingyan asked her what time she would get off work.

    “Teacher Xu, are you okay?”

    Facing Qian Hui’s concerned gaze, she forced a smile and said, “Maybe I didn’t get a good rest last night.”

    At eight o’clock, she replied to the other party.After hesitating for a moment, he added “You don’t have to wait for me to eat.”

    ……

    evening.

    Xu Zhiyi stared at the dimming computer screen, frowning.

    She searched all major forums and consulted experts – all of whom claimed that they had never encountered her situation.

    What is this, predicting the future?

    Xu Zhiyi reluctantly let go of the mouse and stared into the void.If this is really the future… She wants to know why she divorced Pei Qingyan.

    It’s like there is a stone always pressing on my heart, heavy.

    From the corner of her eye, she saw that it was five minutes to eight o’clock. She hurriedly closed the computer and walked to the appointed place.

    From a distance, I saw a woman leaning against the car door. There was a simple white lining under her suit jacket, which made her look extra tall.

    Xu Zhiyi couldn’t help but think of Pei Qingyan saying to her on the day she received the certificate, “If you like it, I will wear it often in the future.”I thought it was just a joke, but I didn’t expect that I really took it to heart.

    “Ayan…”

    One step faster than his body, Xu Zhiyi threw himself into the woman’s arms and said in a long voice, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

    “No, I just came here for a while.”

    Pei Qingyan rubbed her long hair and spoke in a gentle tone.

    But for some reason, Xu Zhiyi felt that her nose was sore.She caught a glimpse of the joy in the woman’s eyes, and her heart became increasingly uncomfortable.

    “Are you busy today?”

    Suddenly, the woman opened the car door.

    “Well, I have a meeting in the afternoon and I was a little late filling out the project application form in the evening.” Xu Zhiyi lowered his eyes and did not mention the dream.

    She didn’t know how to speak, and she didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere at the moment.

    “Go home and have a good rest. I’ll cook dinner tonight.” Pei Qingyan fastened her seat belt for her. “I learned a few new recipes.”

    “Okay.”

    After Xu Zhi agreed, he bit his lips lightly and said, “I’m not very tired. I can help you with it.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a touch of warmth on his lips.

    She opened her eyes slightly and found that the woman was looking at her intently, as if her eyes were on fire.

    “Just rest.”

    Pei Qingyan rarely showed the momentum of Mr. Pei, but his tone was still gentle.

    “Ayan, I want to see a psychiatrist.”

    A string in my mind snapped.Xu Zhiyi’s eyes were sore, and the emotions accumulated in his heart turned into slightly trembling sentences.

    She didn’t intend to hide it from the other party, but she was a little afraid to look at the woman’s expression.

    “I’ll help you make an appointment with the best doctor.” Pei Qingyan made a few quick operations on her phone and said softly, “Can you tell me the reason?”

    “I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately.”

    Xu Zhiyi didn’t know what excuse to use, so he found one at random.During those six years abroad, she did suffer from frequent insomnia.

    On the contrary, after returning, my sleep quality improved a lot.

    “Is it possible that I disturbed you at night? If so, I will go to the guest room to sleep.”

    “No, Ayan, it’s my own problem.” Xu Zhiyi quickly took her hand, as if she was afraid that the other party would really leave, “The pressure at work is a bit high…”

    “Okay, I understand.”

    The woman tapped her forehead lightly with her fingertips, “Just tell me what you need me to do, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

    “Yeah.”

    Xu Zhiyi lowered his eyes and tried his best to suppress the urge to cry.

    No matter what, she didn’t want the content in the book to come true, and she didn’t want Pei Qingyan to end up like that.

    Could it be six years ago…

    “Did the tricks I used on Jianghuai in the past scare you?”

    Pei Qingyan suddenly spoke.

    “One thing, but it’s because he has a bad style and can’t resist temptation.” Xu Zhiyi was surprised that she and he were thinking about the same thing. He thought about his words for a moment, “I went abroad to study largely because I didn’t know how to face your feelings. It was too sudden and I was not prepared.”

    “But now, I think I have the answer.”

    She raised her head and looked directly at the woman whose clouds had cleared up because of her words, and said firmly, “So Ayan, can you give me some more time?”

    She wanted to find out what was going on in that dream.

    Whether it was their future or Pei Qingyan’s final outcome, she didn’t want it to be as bleak as what was written in the book.

    Between them, there is clearly a better way to go, and there should be another ending.

    “Okay.” The woman nodded without thinking, her brows and eyes exuding warmth like the dawn after the rain, “Go home first.”
