President Pei handed over his salary

The elevator slowly rose.

Upstairs, Assistant Yang looked at the message on his phone and abruptly stood up.

Assistant Yang's sudden movement startled the colleagues around him.

"Assistant Yang, what's wrong? Why the big reaction?" a female employee whose desk was not far from his asked in confusion.

"The boss's husband is here. Everyone, look sharp." Assistant Yang quickly picked up the suit jacket beside him and put it on.

"The boss's husband?" The female employee stared blankly at Assistant Yang, seemingly not having processed his words.

"Sister Yan, check the group chat." A colleague beside her pointed at her phone.

Assistant Yang said no more to the two of them and strode to the stairwell entrance on the top floor, ready and waiting.

Ding-

The elevator doors slowly opened.

"Mr. Xu, we've reached the top floor. After you." Smiling, Xiao Li respectfully extended a hand toward Xu Wang, inviting him to go first.

"Sorry for the trouble." Xu Wang stepped out of the elevator.

"Mr. Xu, are you here to see President Pei?" Assistant Yang hurried forward when he saw Xu Wang. Others might not know the place the boss's husband held in the boss's heart, but he knew perfectly well. Over the past few days alone, the boss had not stopped talking about him.

As a perceptive subordinate, he had to latch on to this powerful backer.

"Yes. Is he free right now?" Xu Wang nodded with a smile.

"Of course. Please follow me." Assistant Yang walked beside Xu Wang, leading the way.

They stopped in front of a solid black door.

Assistant Yang stepped forward and knocked lightly. "President Pei."

"Come in." An icy voice came from inside the office.

Assistant Yang gently pushed the door open, then stepped aside to make room.

"After you, Mr. Xu."

"Thank you." Xu Wang pushed open the office door and walked in, gently closing it behind him.

Pei Yanchuan was looking over information on his computer. When no sound came from the office for some time, he looked up in confusion.

"What... Xiaowang? What brings you here?" Seeing Xu Wang, Pei Yanchuan hurriedly stood, rounded his desk, and walked over to him.

"I was a little bored at home alone, so I came to see you." Xu Wang threw himself into Pei Yanchuan's arms.

Pei Yanchuan gently ruffled the hair of the man in his arms. "You should have told me beforehand. I would've gone downstairs to meet you."

"It's fine."

Pei Yanchuan led Xu Wang over to sit at his desk.

Pei Yanchuan turned to get him some water.

Sitting in the office chair, Xu Wang immediately spotted the agreement on the desk in front of him.

"Property gift agreement between husbands"

Xu Wang picked up the agreement in front of him, looking puzzled.

As soon as Xu Wang opened it, he saw Pei Yanchuan's signature as the donor.

As Xu Wang read through the multiple properties listed in the agreement, his expression gradually grew serious.

The moment Pei Yanchuan returned to the office, he was met with an interrogating gaze.

"Explain. What's going on?" With a serious expression, Xu Wang nudged the agreement in front of him.

"Why aren't you happy?" Pei Yanchuan wore an easy smile.

"Why are you suddenly giving me so many properties?" Xu Wang looked bewildered.

Pei Yanchuan walked over to Xu Wang and briefly explained what had happened recently.

Xu Wang's eyes grew brighter as he listened. "So these properties originally belonged to your father's family?"

"Yes. I just bought them at a low price." Pei Yanchuan nodded.

"Then why are you giving them to me?" Xu Wang tilted his head up to look at Pei Yanchuan.

"Pocket money." Pei Yanchuan pushed the agreement back in front of Xu Wang.

"Are you serious? The rent alone is worth a hundred million." Xu Wang took a deep breath. He had known the novel's villain was loaded, but he had not known he was this loaded.

"Yes. Small change." Pei Yanchuan placed a black pen in Xu Wang's hand.

"I think..." Xu Wang held the pen without moving for a long time.

"Don't turn me down, Xiaowang." Pei Yanchuan wrapped his large hand around Xu Wang's right hand.

The pen tip met the paper, scratching across it...

Looking at his own name on the paper before him, Xu Wang suddenly laughed. "Is it really okay to call all this small change? If this is small change, what counts as big money?"

"My salary." Pei Yanchuan pulled a black card from his pocket.

The card made a soft sound as it hit the desk.

Xu Wang narrowed his eyes at the gold-trimmed black card in front of him. "What are you doing?"

"Handing over my salary." Pei Yanchuan looked utterly serious.

At that very moment, had Assistant Yang been present, he would definitely have given his morning self a resounding slap. His boss was not simply lovesick-he was lovesick exclusively for his husband.

Looking at Pei Yanchuan's utterly earnest expression, Xu Wang neither agonized nor hesitated this time. Instead, he readily accepted the card.

"Thank you, honey~"

Xu Wang wrapped his arms around Pei Yanchuan's waist.

Pei Yanchuan hugged him back, a trace of tenderness appearing on his stern face.

As Xu Wang hugged Pei Yanchuan, his gaze swept over the time in the bottom-right corner of the computer screen, and he suddenly remembered why he had come today.

"Oh, right, Yanchuan. Before I came to the office, I saw an outfit that would suit you perfectly. Want to try it on?" Looking eager to show off his treasure, Xu Wang picked up the bag of clothes beside him.

"Sure." Pei Yanchuan accepted the gift bag.

"Go change in the lounge. I'll wait here." After pushing Pei Yanchuan into the lounge, Xu Wang sat back down in the chair and spun it around, turning his back to the office door.

He lay in wait.

In a restroom stall on the top floor, a young man clutched his neck in agony. He held a syringe in his right hand, now completely empty.

Miao Yi kept taking deep breaths. Injecting the drug that woman gave me hurts way too much. Phew...

Just a week ago, Miao Yi had been a young man newly entering the workforce. He had neither connections nor money, so he could only start with a simple job as a server.

But because Miao Yi was an Omega and had a reasonably delicate face, he would always encounter some unpleasant things while working at the café.

That day, he had already been fired by the café owner. Just as he was about to leave, a group of bodyguards suddenly stopped him and took him to a private room.

Inside the private room, a young woman calmly drank the black tea in front of her.

"I'd like to make a deal with you."
