Perhaps because she had traveled through time, she lacked a certain unwavering trust. Unlike other wives who might want to test their husband’s sincerity, Bai Tao was not particularly curious about Pei Shi’s answer. It wasn’t that she didn’t care; she was simply afraid of hearing an answer she didn’t want to know.

At that moment, she even considered fleeing back to her room.

But before she could make a decision, Pei Shi’s voice rang out—

“Leave, or I’ll call the police.”

His voice was as cold and hard as ever, tinged with a strong undertone of anger.

Unfortunately, the woman seemed not to understand Pei Shi at all and continued coyly, “President Pei, you’re so fierce. Don’t worry, I know you’re married. I just admire you and won’t cause you any trouble. Can I stay and take care of you tonight?”

This time, Pei Shi’s voice carried a hint of cold laughter: “No.”

“Is it because I’m not attractive enough?” The woman’s voice was warm and melodious, “President Pei, do you want to see my body? It’s even better than my face… President Pei, a man will get bored with just one woman…”

“Not interested.” Pei Shi’s voice remained emotionless, “The cosmetic surgery marks on your face and body are too obvious. I suggest you go back to the clinic for repairs.”

His tone was as merciless as ever: “Even with surgery, your appearance and body are nothing to be proud of. Your natural looks are too poor, too ugly. Even if you underwent endless surgeries, you wouldn’t come close to my wife.”

Bai Tao’s heart pounded violently, and she felt her face heat up, her palms sweating. She never expected to hear such an answer…

Pei Shi was truly devoted to her…

With this thought in mind and feeling satisfied, Bai Tao decided it was not right to eavesdrop any longer and prepared to quietly return to her room. However, before she could leave, Pei Shi’s door was forcefully pushed open, and before she could react, a strong scent of perfume hit her—Pei Shi had practically thrown a woman out without mercy…

Following this was Pei Shi’s cold, unfeeling voice—

“Get lost.”

After saying this, he didn’t even glance outside and shut the door, leaving Bai Tao staring at it in a daze.

The woman who had been thrown out was evidently experienced in this line of work; she wasn’t embarrassed or angry at being treated this way. She simply stood up, smoothed her long hair, and was about to say something when she noticed Bai Tao at the door. She gave Bai Tao a knowing smile and nodded at her: “Who sent you here?”

?

Seeing Bai Tao remain silent, the woman raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Tao with envy: “Which hospital did you get your face done at? It looks so natural. Can we exchange WeChat so you can give me the doctor’s information?” She touched her own face, “Are my cosmetic surgery marks really that obvious? Do I really need to go back for repairs?”

“…”

Without waiting for Bai Tao to respond, the woman then glanced at Bai Tao’s chest: “How much silicone did you put in? Isn’t it too big? Your waist is so slim, and paired with such a large chest, doesn’t the silicone make it hard to walk?”

…

Bai Tao was furious. This idiot thought she was surgically enhanced! Just look carefully—she was Pei Shi’s naturally stunning wife, no artificial enhancements!

Seeing Bai Tao glaring at her, the woman wasn’t angry. She just laughed mockingly: “I advise you to save your energy. Don’t bother knocking; this guy probably isn’t interested. He kicked me out, and your face and body are even more exaggerated than mine. Should we share a cab?”

“…”

Bai Tao didn’t bother to explain. Emulating Pei Shi’s cold demeanor, she ruthlessly refused the woman. After the woman cursed and left, Bai Tao knocked on Pei Shi’s door.

After a while, Pei Shi came to open it. He seemed to have just taken a shower, wearing only a bathrobe with his hair still wet: “You…”

Seeing Bai Tao at the door, he composed himself.

At this moment, he looked better than he did in the car but still showed signs of suppressed irritation. He leaned on the doorframe, not letting Bai Tao in, and asked abruptly, “What is it?”

Bai Tao cautiously asked, “Pei Shi, are you okay? Is it because you can’t handle alcohol?”

Pei Shi rubbed his forehead, showing little patience as he issued a terse command—

“Don’t worry about me. Go back to your room.”

But the more Pei Shi acted like this, the more concerned Bai Tao became. This man loved her so much; if she showed concern, he should be moved to tears. Why was he acting like this?

Could it be…

Bai Tao suddenly had an idea—maybe his alcohol tolerance was really low, and he had been holding it in all the way back to the hotel, only to end up vomiting once they arrived. Men often wanted to save face and wouldn’t show weakness, even if they were suffering. So, even if he felt terrible, he wouldn’t show it.

“No way, I can’t leave you alone. I’ll stay and take care of you tonight…”

With this thought, Bai Tao felt sympathetic and determined to take good care of Pei Shi tonight. Despite Pei Shi blocking the door, Bai Tao was nimble enough to duck under his arm and slip into the room.

Given their loving couple facade, Pei Shi couldn’t throw Bai Tao out as he did with the other woman, so he sullenly closed the door.

Outside, the woman, who had dropped an earring during the commotion, returned just in time to see Bai Tao entering Pei Shi’s room.

“Ha! Pretending to be all righteous and faithful to his wife!” The woman sneered, “He didn’t let me in because my waist isn’t slim enough, my skin isn’t fair enough, my eyes aren’t pretty enough, and my chest isn’t big enough!”

“Men are all the same!”

Picking up her earring, the woman resolved to have her chest augmented even more! Bigger, so she could be like the one who ultimately got in!
