Chapter 75
Pei Yanhe naturally did not say the second half of the sentence.
He was afraid that his almost pathological possessiveness would scare her.
He wanted to give her a good relationship, a relationship that was as healthy as she was.
Shen Yizhi was completely unaware of his abnormality and said in a riddle, "You guess it."
"I guess—"
Pei Yanhe looked at her with a half-smile. He guessed there was no such person at all, because he would never allow such a person to appear. He answered calmly and calmly.
"It's me."
Otherwise, he would be too confident in himself.
Shen Yizhi smiled and said boastfully, "Wow, this is what it means to be a puppy."
"That's too narcissistic."
-
Because she was afraid that Tan Huiya and Chen Dongliang would find out that she was sleeping at Pei Yanhe's house.
So she got up twenty minutes earlier than the couple the next day.
It was just dawn and the first ray of warm sunlight slanted into the house.
Shen Yizhi broke free from Pei Yanhe's arms, quietly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, trying not to wake him up.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yanhe woke up the moment she left his arms.
He opened his eyes, waited until his vision cleared, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are you going?"
Chen Yizhi didn't expect him to wake up. She vaguely remembered that they kissed and talked for a while last night. They were so affectionate and entangled that they fell asleep very late.
Especially last night, she was still drowsy and heard the sound of water dripping from the bathroom, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep again after a while.
Now that I think about it, I realize something is not right.
She always thought that she was the only one who was so lustful and coveted Pei Yanhe, but Pei Yanhe was calm and self-controlled, like a Buddhist who was not interested in worldly affairs.
It turned out that he was just enduring.
Shen Yizhi thought for a while, then came to his senses, "Go home, if it's any later they will find out that I'm not at home."
Pei Yanhe half-supported himself and sat up, looking at her through her slightly shaky hairline, and said calmly, "Then tell them you're at my house."
"No!" Shen Yizhi retorted without thinking: "They don't know our relationship yet, we can't let them find out."
Outside the window, a bird suddenly chirped in the early morning.
The house was surprisingly quiet.
After staring at each other stiffly for two seconds, Pei Yanhe finally spoke: "Chen Yizhi."
The second half of the words had not yet been uttered.
Shen Yizhi came forward and touched the corner of his lips lightly, then turned the door handle and hurriedly said to him, "See you later, Pei puppy."
Pei Yanhe stared at the empty and cold doorway; the thin figure had long disappeared.
The bed sheets, his body, and the air around him were all filled with her scent.
He made a soft "tsk" sound and rubbed his hair in annoyance.
-
As soon as Shen Yizhi stepped into the house, he saw Ms. Tan Huiya coming down the stairs.
For a moment, she was neither going out nor coming in.
Tan Huiya noticed her presence and asked suspiciously, "Why are you standing at the door so early in the morning?"
Shen Yizhi walked to the dining table and poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, as if trying to cover up something, and then spoke without blushing or beating his heart.
"Just got back from my morning run, what's wrong?"
Tan Huiya looked her up and down. "Zhizhi, you're going for a morning run in... pajamas?"
Only then did I remember that I was still wearing pajamas.
Chen Yizhi said calmly, "It's convenient to apply it in the morning, so I'm too lazy to change it."
In case Ms. Tan Huiya asked more questions, she hurried upstairs and said, "Nothing, I'll go back to my room to take a shower."
Tan Huiya was half-believing and half-doubting, and said to her back: "Let's go back to the old house to have dinner together tonight. Remember to inform Xiao He."
"I know!"
Then there was the sound of the room door closing.
Tan Huiya couldn't help but laugh softly.
This girl is getting better and better at telling lies without thinking.
-
To make the lie seem more real.
Shen Yizhi took a hot shower, applied conditioner and blew her hair dry. Then she picked up her phone on the bed and sent a message to someone.
The branches seem to be sprouting: [Ms. Tan Huiya asked me to inform you that we will go back to the old house for dinner in the evening]
After a while, the other side replied.
The Invincible and Annoying Pei 33: [Good]
Shen Yizhi stared at the screen for a long time. She sat at the head of the bed, biting her lower lip and typing a reply.
The branches seem to be sprouting: [You are so cool, Pei Shanshan]
The branches seem to have sprouted: [Are you unhappy? ]
The branches seem to be sprouting: [Why? ]
After a while, there was no movement in the pop-up window on the other side.
The extremely annoying Pei 33: [No, see you tonight]
Her intuition told her that something was wrong with Pei Yanhe.
Shen Yizhi wanted to ask, but given Pei Yanhe's personality, he couldn't get any information out of him over the phone, so he decided to ask at the old house in the evening.
-
On the other side, Hezhuo Capital.
The conference room was full of people, but there was dead silence. No one dared to breathe, and a constant low pressure enveloped everyone.
Especially after the oppressive man in the main seat replied to the message on his phone, he remained silent.
He lowered his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his jade-like fingertips.
Every blow seemed to hit everyone's tense nerves.
After finishing his daily work report, President Pei had this cold and serious expression.
I always feel like thunder will strike in the next second.
A long time passed, and just when everyone couldn't help but want to wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads.
He said calmly, "Let's adjourn the meeting."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, quickly packed up their things, and rushed out.
Secretary Qin stood at the door observing the situation. When he walked into the meeting room, he saw the man standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The back figure looks lonely and desolate.
It's rare to see sadness in him.
"Is Mr. Pei having relationship problems?" Secretary Qin asked, standing beside him.
Pei Yanhe glanced at him with the corner of his eye, his face still expressionless and he had no intention of speaking.
"Actually, I'm known as 'The Know-It-All of Emotions'. Do you need me to help you solve any problems you may have?"
Qin Mi raised five fingers and said, "Since we've been together for so many years, I can give you a 50% discount!"
Pei Yanhe glanced at him and said indifferently, "Are you trying to scam me out of my money?"
"Three folds!" Qin Mi was unyielding.
"Boss Pei, if you keep going any further—"
Pei Yanhe looked out the window and interrupted him, "Someone who is in a relationship with you only wants to do intimate things with you, but is unwilling to reveal you to his family. Tell me, why is that?"
"Maybe it's because you, Mr. Pei, are not up to the task?" Secretary Qin said fearlessly.
Pei Yanhe glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Did I say this person is me?"
Qin Mi laughed awkwardly twice, "I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you."
I know I can't rely on others.
Pei Yanhe waved his hand at him and said, "If you have nothing to do, go out. You are disturbing me here."
"Actually, there is another possibility."
Qin Mi finally tried to save her dignity by saying, "From the beginning to the end, she only wanted to play with you... and others. When she had enough, she wouldn't have to take any responsibility and could get away with it perfectly."
"And in the end, only you two knew about this relationship. Simply put, this is a very high-level scumbag."
"Boss Pei, you just left the Novice Village and you've already encountered a top-level succubus."
