Chapter 81
A flash of shock crossed Ai Li's face, and then a subtle and amused smile appeared on his face.
"Long time no see, Shen Yizhi."
Shen Yizhi remained calm in response to Pei Yanhe's title, as if he had just noticed that there was someone next to him. He slowly shifted his gaze to her face and curved his lips in a very decent and polite manner.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Why didn't you inform me that you were getting married? You were just doing big things quietly." Ai Li looked at her with a smile, his delicate face showing a bit of charm, and joked.
"When we were in college, you and Jiang Chinan were always inseparable. I thought you two would be together."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Jiang Chi Nan could sense something was wrong.
If Shen Yizhi hadn't been with Pei Yanhe, Jiang Chinan might have thanked her, but now just hearing that gave him goosebumps.
He rubbed his arms and said, "I guess that's how rumors spread. You're a semi-public figure, but you're too reluctant to keep your mouth shut."
Shen Yizhi put his hands behind his back and quietly gave him a thumbs up, and Jiang Chinan smiled lazily.
The curve of Ai Li's mouth became stiff, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Don't just stand there. Why don't you two sit down and eat together?"
Jiang Chi Nan is casual, mainly depending on Shen Yizhi's opinion.
Shen Yizhi glanced at Pei Yanhe coldly and asked directly, "Just the two of you?"
She promised that if Pei Yanhe answered "yes", she would immediately pin him to the bed and beat him up when she got home. She would do what she said.
For a moment, Pei Yanhe remained silent and looked at her quietly.
Shen Yizhi's chest heaved violently. Just as he turned around to leave, a figure hurried over from the side.
"Sorry, Mr. Pei, I'm late because of the traffic."
Lu Jin smiled awkwardly and sat down next to Ai Li. He noticed two people standing nearby. "Are these two Mr. Pei's friends?"
Pei Yanhe then slowly raised his chin towards Chen Yizhi and asked, "Sit down?"
It turns out that I really misunderstood him.
Shen Yizhi felt that he was in the wrong, so he stopped arguing with him and sat beside him frankly.
Pei Yanhe took the action of picking up the cutlery and floated close to her ear, whispering in a low voice: "Give me an explanation tonight."
The hot breath burned the tips of her ears quickly red. Shen Yizhi pursed her lips and glared at him fiercely.
Explain what?
Didn’t she say hello to him when she came out with Jiang Chi Nan?
-
Something suddenly happened at Jiang Chi Nan's concert venue. He received an emergency call, said hello and left.
Four people sat on the square dining table overnight.
During the meal, Lu Jin seemed to have known Pei Yanhe for some time. They talked about familiar topics and occasionally mentioned Ai Li and asked her to join in the conversation.
Pei Yanhe, on the other hand, had a dull expression on his face. He simply replied with a few words and seemed to be in low spirits.
Only when he gave Chen some branches to pick up some vegetables did he show a bit of human touch.
He stared at Shen Yizhi as he pushed the asparagus on the plate aside, and said with a serious tone, "Don't be picky."
Chen Yizhi glared at him angrily. He hated it most when others made him eat food he didn't like.
As she piled the asparagus onto his plate, she muttered, "You're not picky anymore since you ate it for me."
Where does this fallacy come from?
Pei Yanhe frowned a little, unable to do anything about her, and ate the food that she disliked without complaint.
Lu Jin observed the woman's position in President Pei's heart and said, "Miss Chen, I heard that you graduated from the Imperial College of Art, and so did Ai Li."
"You two are about the same age. So, not only are you and Rewi Alley classmates, but you're from the same class. You might even have met each other!"
As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to freeze and ice seemed to flow down.
Ai Li couldn't help but glance at him, idiot.
Shen Yizhi guessed something.
For example, the person who organized this dinner party was Lu Jin, in order to introduce Ai Li to Pei Yanhe.
But what is the purpose?
-
Halfway through, Shen Yizhi went to the bathroom. As soon as he turned on the faucet, the cold water slid across his jade-like knuckles.
Ai Li walked in from behind, stood at the sink on the side, and looked at her through the one-way mirror.
"I heard you're going to hold an art exhibition?"
Shen Yizhi pulled out two pieces of paper from the cardboard box on the wall and said indifferently, "Why do you care about me so much?"
Ai Li chuckled, his eyes shifting downwards, staring at her hand with an ambiguous expression. "I'm concerned about your hand. After all, it must be very difficult to do rehabilitation training every day."
Chen Yizhi paused, then threw the paper ball into the bucket beside him without changing his expression, his voice filled with unprecedented coldness.
"Just because you didn't find any evidence doesn't mean you didn't do it."
"So I advise you to stay out of my sight." She brushed past her shoulder and walked straight out of the bathroom.
Ai Li looked at her departing back, not annoyed by her words, but raised his lips with interest.
It is very interesting to see such an arrogant genius fall from grace.
-
On the way back to Mingjing Bay.
Shen Yizhi placed her hands on her hips and faced him, her eyes scrutinizing him. "Tell me the truth, why did Lu Jin introduce Ai Li to you?"
Pei Yanhe opened his slightly closed eyes, and before his eyes could even focus, he turned his head to look at her and began to ask, "Does Jiang Chinan know something that I don't know?"
His tone was almost firm.
Shen Yizhi couldn't help but panic a little. She blinked, restrained her expression, and said in a tough attitude: "Answer my question first."
The back seat fell into silence for a few seconds.
Pei Yanhe was defeated silently again and explained, "She is holding an art exhibition and wants me to invest."
A completely unexpected answer.
Shen Yizhi was lost in thought for two seconds, "So you voted for her?"
Pei Yanhe said calmly: "Don't you have a bad relationship with her?"
The implication is that he won't touch anything that's not good for you.
Shen Yizhi was slightly stunned: "How do you know?"
"I'm not blind." Pei Yanhe looked at her with a dark and unclear look.
Just based on his performance at the dinner table and how well he knew Chen Yizhi.
I can guess it with my eyes closed.
Without even knowing the full story, he had already chosen to stand by her side, unconditionally.
Shen Yizhi leaned forward and touched the corner of his lips lightly, breaking the serious atmosphere and said with a smile.
"Pei Shanshan, I like you so much."
"Don't act like a spoiled child," Pei Yanhe's expression remained calm, as calm as an iceberg. "Answer me."
Facing his lacquered eyes, Shen Yizhi said without thinking: "Jiang Chinan just knows that Ai Li and I have a bad relationship."
"You know, he's in the same university as me, so it's normal for him to know this."
That was his only free time during college.
He knew nothing about it.
Pei Yanhe's eyebrows twisted unconsciously, his temples swollen and painful. He subconsciously touched her wrist with his palm and rubbed it gently.
It seems like this can relieve the restlessness in my heart.
When she was little, Shen Yizhi would often get so absorbed in painting that she would find a random spot with her sketchpad for the entire day. Only after she finished would she realize her wrists were incredibly sore. Too lazy to massage them herself, she would call out to Pei Yanhe to do it for her.
Over time, Chen Yizhi had become accustomed to the large, warm, plaster-like palm that always covered his wrist.
Just like every day with minor quarrels, they have already silently acquiesced to each other's approach.
Shen Yizhi seemed to have noticed his low mood, and touched the corner of his lips again in a soothing tone, coaxing a child.
"King Zhizhi's reward is that I will accompany you to work at the company tomorrow."
