Tears like little pearls tumbled from the corners of Pei Shiyi's eyes.
The sight only made Huo Zhanting and the others sitting across from him angrier.
'Here we go again,' they thought. 'He's playing the victim and acting pitiful again.'
'What kind of male acts like this?'
'He has absolutely no shame. He can just turn on the waterworks whenever he wants.'
But to the utter astonishment of Huo Zhanting and the other men—who were used to letting their fists do the talking—
Yu Lan was actually fooled by Pei Shiyi's act.
"I didn't."
"Pei Shiyi, how could you think that?"
"I would never think something like that."
The moment Yu Lan finished her anxious denial,
Pei Shiyi pressed his advantage.
"I don't care. I've decided you're the one for me."
"I don't want to be with any other females."
"Just give me an official status. I want whatever they have."
He demanded it as if it were his right.
Jun Lin Yuan looked at Pei Shiyi, then down at himself.
