The internal whistleblower said Pei Shi was having an affair with an uneducated woman at the company. After eliminating all the female employees, as much as Bai Tao didn’t want to admit it, the answer was glaringly obvious—

Pei Shi was having an affair with the company’s cleaner!

Had she hurt him so much that he turned to an older woman who could provide him with endless love and care in a sibling-like relationship?

The cleaner, unaware of Bai Tao’s inner turmoil, continued with a smile, “I always tell my son to learn from the people at our company, to work hard, especially to learn from Mr. Pei. He’s the most outstanding person I’ve ever met. At the last company family day, Mr. Pei even let me bring my kid along so he could get to know Mr. Pei better…”

The cleaner kept praising Pei Shi, but Bai Tao’s heart churned more and more.

Letting the kid get to know him better? Was this so the child could start calling him ‘Daddy’ soon after?

Could Pei Shi really have such a unique taste? Not only having an older woman as a lover but also wanting to play the role of a convenient father? Bai Tao wondered if the cleaner was divorced. Had her own actions hurt Pei Shi so deeply that he sought compensation outside? Did Zhong Xiao ruin his family, so he wanted to ruin someone else’s in return?

The more Bai Tao thought, the more she couldn’t stop.

Could Pei Shi really be involved with the cleaner?

Bai Tao felt lost and distracted. Her mind wandered, recalling the strategies she had read about dealing with mistresses—

Encountering a mistress naturally incites anger, but first, you must remain calm. Then, know your enemy and understand the mistress’s strengths to use them for your advantage.

But what strengths did this cleaner have?

Could it be… the allure of the uniform?

Bai Tao remembered Yu Guo’s advice about reconciling marital conflicts with a passionate night, gritted her teeth, and decided to go all out.

She couldn’t lose to the cleaner!!!

She immediately ordered a cleaning uniform online, took a deep breath, and resolved to face the challenge head-on tonight!

Sleeping with Pei Shi? She could do it!

*****

Bai Tao purchased the cleaning uniform from a local store, and by the afternoon, she had the same outfit as the cleaning lady at Shi Lai Technology delivered to her.

By chance, Pei Shi had a meeting that would keep him out until after dinner, giving Bai Tao precious time to prepare.

At 9:30 PM, when Pei Shi opened the door, Bai Tao was already dressed in the cleaning uniform. Her hair was let down in seductive waves, the top three buttons of the uniform were undone to reveal a teasing glimpse of her chest, and she wore a lipstick that was irresistible to men. She lay on the sofa in a provocative pose.

Pei Shi was stunned when he saw Bai Tao lying in such a manner right in front of the door.

With a look of disbelief, he stared at Bai Tao, frowning. “You…”

“Shh.” Bai Tao imitated the seductive manner of TV vixens, signaling Pei Shi to be quiet. She threw him a sultry look. “Honey, do I look pretty in this?”

“…Yes,” Pei Shi replied dryly after a long pause.

Look at this poor man, Bai Tao thought. He must be so aroused that his voice sounds like this.

Pei Shi continued, “But why are you wearing that?”

Bai Tao smiled knowingly. “I know me wearing this is a big shock to you, but seeing me like this, don’t you think you shouldn’t waste this outfit and make me do something?”

As she said this, Bai Tao deepened her insinuation, sending Pei Shi a few flirtatious glances. “I just want you to know, tonight, you can ask me to do anything.”

Pei Shi was silent for a long time, then looked at Bai Tao. “Anything?”

“Anything.” Pei Shi remained calm, but Bai Tao felt she was on the verge of breaking character. Her heart was pounding so fast that she thought she might have a heart attack.

This poor man, she thought. He must be thrilled but still manages to stay composed.

Although Bai Tao had accepted her transmigration and understood that her actions with Pei Shi now fell within the realm of normal marital behavior, she was still nervous. Her fingers were trembling slightly.

For Bai Tao, who had transmigrated five years into the future, it was as if Pei Shi had just told her he would never like her, and the next moment, they were about to sleep together. It was like moving at rocket speed.

But…

Giving Pei Shi away was out of the question!

She had always been the one to leave others, never the other way around. If anyone was to be left, it would be her leaving Pei Shi. She had to hold onto him, solidify their relationship, and figure out if he had done anything wrong and how badly, then exact her revenge accordingly.

Bai Tao’s thoughts were all over the place, filled with contradictions. Moments ago, she thought Pei Shi deserved to die if he cheated, feeling suffocated with anger. Now, she was nervous and determined to save their marriage by seducing him. She also felt resentment, ready to strike back if she confirmed his infidelity.

But there was no turning back now. Pei Shi had already started speaking.

He smiled slightly. “It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but since you mentioned it and are wearing that outfit, I won’t hold back…”

Of course!

What else could a man think of besides that?

Bai Tao’s face turned red, and her temperature rose rapidly. She looked away, avoiding Pei Shi’s gaze. She was about to express her genuine shyness when Pei Shi continued—

“The storage room got messed up by the dog last night. The housekeeper is on leave today, so it hasn’t been cleaned. Since you’re wearing a cleaning uniform, could you clean it up tonight?”

Pei Shi finished, smiling again, looking like a boss instructing an employee to work overtime. “Thank you.”

Then he calmly walked past Bai Tao and the sofa, heading upstairs alone.?

Bai Tao sat there in a daze for five minutes, almost losing her breath. What had Pei Shi just said?

He told her to clean the storage room messed up by the dog?!

She lay there, a beautiful woman, saying he could ask her to do anything, hinting that he shouldn’t waste the uniform she was wearing. Yet this damned man took it literally and assigned her to cleaning duties!

Damn it!
