how can one heart accommodate anyone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming’s brow furrowed slightly: “Didn’t they say you’ve never had a boyfriend before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying laughed: “Did Zhu Chong’an say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We haven’t been close enough that I need to report to him when I have someone I like, so it’s normal that he wouldn’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming thought for a moment and cut straight to the point: “Miss Zuo, I’m not a person who likes to beat around the bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve taken a liking to you at first sight, and I believe that with my identity as the Shen Yun Sect’s young master, I’m more than worthy of you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you nod in agreement, I’ll marry you right away, and with my relationship with you, your Zuo family will naturally rise to greater heights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying’s expression changed slightly, and she stalled: “You’re really direct, just meeting and already talking about marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a bit overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about this – give me some time to think it over and discuss with my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if I’m really going to marry you, it won’t be a minor matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming was silent for two seconds, his gaze slightly unhappy, but he didn’t say anything more: “Alright, think it over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming went back to lie down in the chair next to Zhu Chong’an, who asked: “What’s wrong, you seem upset?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming snorted coldly: “I’m willing to marry her, I’m elevating her and elevating the Zuo family, but she’s actually so unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, she said she has someone she likes, who is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Chong’an was taken aback: “Could it be Lin Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming’s expression grew colder: “Isn’t Lin Chen already married?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Chong’an explained: “Yes, he’s indeed married, but Zuo Yingying and Lin Chen are quite close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve hung out with Lin Chen multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her saying she has someone she likes is true, then it can only be Lin Chen; if it’s an excuse, then it’s naturally fake…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming pondered for a moment and said: “I don’t have time to play hide and seek with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, I’ll slip something into her drink and get things done tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, when we return, I’ll propose marriage to the Zuo family; I don’t believe they would refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Chong’an laughed: “The Zuo family is probably more than happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming nodded: “If they agree, I’ll marry her; if they don’t, then it’s as if nothing happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a man himself, Zhu Chong’an naturally understood Pei Shanming’s thoughts: “Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t long before it was dinner time, and everyone gathered together to enjoy a seafood feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone had drunk enough, Pei Shanming carried two cups of wine and walked over to Zuo Yingying, handing her one: “Drink a cup, no matter what the result of your consideration is, knowing each other is fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying glanced at the wine cup Pei Shanming handed her and smiled, reaching out to take the cup: “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei thinks so highly of me, I’m somewhat flattered, and I should indeed drink a cup…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zuo Yingying held the cup, just as Pei Shanming let go, her hand suddenly slipped, and the wine glass in her hand tilted sharply to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying cried out in alarm and backed away, while the red wine poured out on the ground in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming’s facial expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had put something in this glass of wine, but it was unexpectedly spilled by Zuo Yingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On purpose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it a coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying saw the change in Pei Shanming’s expression and her heart sank, it seemed that what she was worried about had really happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, I drank too much and my hand slipped; I’ll pour another one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying put down the glass, picked up her own, poured another one, apologized to Pei Shanming, clinked glasses, and then drank it up boldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming drank his own wine and reluctantly returned to Zhu Chong’an’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Chong’an glanced at him, and Pei Shanming gritted his teeth: “This woman is too clever, she’s on guard against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems I’ll have to force my way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Chong’an naturally wouldn’t stop Pei Shanming: “She’s staying in A3 Room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Shanming just grunted: “I’ll go there later, knock her out, get things done first and then talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Zuo Yingying looked at the two who were whispering, her eyes filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, she took out her mobile phone and sent Lin Chen a message along with her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you out at sea now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How far away from me are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s not too far, can you come pick me up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a feeling something is about to happen here…”\u003C\u002Fp>",990,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","71d104cadc0d11dc3490a7050121481adca27acdc75b663109e43fb1db96e1f4","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-324","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-322",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
