Seeing Pei Mingchen’s expression, Mu Qiannian raised her eyebrows slightly and reached out to pat the back of his hand.

“You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Pei Mingchen’s expression froze, and the corners of his eyes turned even redder. His throat also felt hot.

“You said it.”

Pei Mingchen lowered his head and whispered softly into Mu Qiannian’s ear.

Smelling the fragrance in his hair, he did not hesitate. He suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on that fair neck.

“Oh!”

Mu Qiannian snorted.. Before she could say anything, the man beside her quickly straightened up. His eyes were fixed on her, and there was a stifled smile on his moist lips.

“It’s proof that you promised me.”

“Don’t go back on your word.”

Pei Mingchen’s fingers caressed the red mark on her neck, and Mu Qiannian immediately smiled.

The little puppy had also learned to be domineering?

“I won’t go back on my word.”

Mu Qiannian blew a kiss and got into the black luxury car that she had come from. She winked at Pei Mingchen flirtatiously.

“But next time, don’t mark it here.”

“Do it here.”

Pei Mingchen watched as Mu Qiannian touched her lips, then she started the car without hesitation and left.

“…”

He suddenly felt a little regretful. What should he do?

Would it still be too late to capture her and mark her again?

Somewhere out of Mu Qiannian’s sight, Pei Mingchen’s face revealed an extremely vexed expression. He let out a deep sigh.

Why was he always half a step late?

Next time, he had to be more proactive and not give her a chance to escape.

After he finished reflecting in his heart, Pei Mingchen casually took out his phone. The expression on his face slowly faded and was replaced by a bone-chilling coldness that Mu Qiannian had never seen before.

“Take care of Chen Jia.”

“Niannian will be upset if she sees him.”

“Understood, I’ll do it right away.”

After receiving the reply from his subordinate, Pei Mingchen walked to an inconspicuous luxury car by the roadside and sat in it.

‘Alright, which direction did Niannian drive to just now?’

‘She had just left the Mu residence. She should be looking for a place to rest.’

Pei Mingchen quickly started the car, turned on the GPS, and drove toward the nearest hotel.

…

A few minutes later, Mu Qiannian’s car had already stopped at the entrance of a hotel.

She swiped her card to check-in and sent a message to her subordinate.

“Take care of Chen Jia. Don’t let him appear in front of Pei Mingchen in the future.”

“Got it, boss!”

Thinking of what Chen Jia had said to Pei Mingchen and the man’s silence at that time, Mu Qiannian slowed down a little.

“Leave Chen Jia half dead. Wait for me to get there.”

After sending this message, she put away her phone and boarded the elevator.

Mu Qiannian did not expect to see Pei Mingchen strolling around in the corridor with his head lowered before she even walked to her room when the door opened.

When he noticed her figure, the man was like an abandoned puppy. He could not wait to look up and quickly walked over. The expression on his face became lively and happy.

“Niannian!”

Being hugged by the man, Mu Qiannian could not help but reach out and rub the back of his head.

“Why are you here too?”

“Did the Chen family chase you out because of me?”

‘No, I followed behind your car and wanted to come up and meet you by chance.’

‘I didn’t expect you to move so quickly. I didn’t have time to check-in, so I had to come up first.’

The answer in his heart was smooth and sincere. However, Pei Mingchen blinked his eyes and did not say anything. He silently held Mu Qiannian’s hands tightly.

“I’m not a member of the Chen family anyway.”

“I can follow you wherever you go now.”

How could Mu Qiannian bear to see his pitiful look?

“Okay.”

She held the man’s hand tightly and strode to open the door, bringing him in.

“From now on, you’ll follow me.”

“With me, you won’t starve.”

The conversation between the two was completely reversed, and the attendant was dumbfounded.

However, Pei Mingchen’s eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

Niannian’s heart was really too kind. If Pei Mingchen showed a little pitiful look, he would immediately be rewarded very much.

If he had known that the identity of an illegitimate child was so useful, he would have plotted to be kicked out of the Chen family long ago. Only then would he have fainted pitifully in front of Niannian and been brought home by her.

‘…That was not right.’

The brilliant expression hung on for a long time. Pei Mingchen frowned and immediately became serious.

‘What if Niannian was deceived by those who pretended to be pitiful?’

It seemed that he would have to find an opportunity to arrange some spies around Niannian in the future.

At the very least, he had to control the distance between everyone and her.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so serious?”

His face was pinched lightly by someone. Pei Mingchen smiled and looked at the woman in front of him.

“I was wondering if you’ve taken in other pitiful people like me.”

“Why would I take them in?”

Mu Qiannian’s expression instantly became very speechless.

“Do you think I’m just picking up puppies and won’t reject anyone?”

“Then I’m the only one.”

The moment he said that, the smile on Pei Mingchen’s face became abnormally bright. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Mu Qiannian. His hands quietly pulled her closer.

“Let me make a mark.”

“We’ll talk later. I’m going to take a shower first.”

Mu Qiannian knocked on his head, then turned around and walked into the shower.

Pei Mingchen’s gaze followed her like a shadow. He wished that he could go in with her. The corners of his eyes were red from holding it in.

What was even more hateful was that the glass in the shower was made so that it could not penetrate any light. Naturally, it did not even reward Mu Qiannian’s figure to him.

Hearing the pitter-patter of the water, Pei Mingchen sat down and took a deep breath. However, he could not suppress his impulse. He could only stand up and slowly walk around the room.

Pei Mingchen even took out his phone and added a few suggestions on how to deal with Chen Jia.

After an excruciating wait, the shower door finally opened.

Immediately after, Mu Qiannian, who was only wrapped in a towel, appeared in front of him.

The woman’s wet, long black hair fell on her shoulders. There were crystal clear water droplets on her body, making her skin look like diamonds, sparkling.

“…”

Pei Mingchen was stunned on the spot. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath.

“Niannian.”

“Hmm?”

Mu Qiannian raised her head. Before she could finish her sentence, the man in front of her had already pounced on her. He carried her in his arms and threw her onto the bed.

In the next second, he leaned over and stared at her with red eyes. His hot breath lingered between the two of them, causing them to tremble slightly.

Pei Mingchen really could not hold it in any longer since she was so defenseless.

“What are you doing?”

The woman beneath Pei Mingchen was still smiling brightly. Her wet fingertips tapped his nose.

“I just picked you up, and now you’re going to devour me?”
