Chapter 100 Many women are willing to be Mrs. Pei
A huge wave rose in Shen Lai's heart, her body suddenly stiffened, and she looked at Pei Jingyan in disbelief.
Pei Jingyan realized that he had spoken out of turn, and a trace of annoyance flashed across his brow. He said calmly, "What I mean is, if I really hated you that much, I could have found someone else. There are many women out there who are willing to be Mrs. Pei."
Shen Lai's heart sank at these words, and a strong sense of disappointment swept over him.
So this is what Pei Jingyan meant.
She thought...
"And I have already made it clear to her." Pei Jingyan suddenly spoke.
Shen Lai looked up, not understanding the meaning of this sentence, "Have you made it clear? What do you mean?"
Pei Jingyan glanced at her and said, "She said I'm not interested in her."
Shen Lai was stunned for a moment, "When did you say that?"
Could it be that Yi Xingyu has already found Pei Jingyan?
As expected, Pei Jingyan said, "Tonight."
Chen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan's still-unchanged suit, and then smelled the alcohol mingled with his body. He vaguely guessed something and muttered quietly, "Didn't you hire her out with a high salary? Aren't you afraid she'll leave if she gets unhappy?"
Pei Jingyan's face was calm. "If he's gone, he's gone. Even though you have money, are you worried that you won't be able to hire capable people?"
His tone was flat, as if he was talking about something not worth mentioning. A subtle sweetness passed through Shen Lai's heart, and the corners of her mouth that were raised were suppressed by her.
Does this mean that Pei Jingyan doesn’t have Yi Xingyu in his heart at all?
Otherwise, how could you not care about the other person at all?
Shen Lai looked awkward, "You came here tonight just to talk about this?"
Pei Jingyan glanced at her and said, "Isn't it because someone is unhappy that he wants to explain himself?"
Shen Lai stiffened his neck and refused to admit it. "Who is unhappy? Stop slandering me."
Pei Jingyan smiled faintly, "Some people went home with their faces about to fall to the ground, and still said they weren't unhappy."
Chen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan's playful eyes and suddenly wanted to ask him why he cared about whether he was happy or not.
But in the end, he swallowed the words back.
She didn't want to humiliate herself anymore.
After Pei Jingyan left, Shen Lai went back to bed and lay down. Thinking of what the other party had just said, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she rolled around on the bed a few times while holding the script.
Suddenly, Shen Lai thought of the baby in her belly. She lay down quietly again, looked at the ceiling, and smiled unconsciously.
The next day, Pei Jingyan came to the company. As soon as he sat down, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Pei Jingyan didn't even raise his head.
The office door was pushed open from the outside, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the floor, and then stopped in front of the desk.
Pei Jingyan raised his head and saw Yi Xingyu standing in front of him.
He glanced at the resignation letter in Yi Xingyu's hand and said calmly, "Have you made up your mind?"
Yi Xingyu's face was tense. "I came back for you. Now that you're married, there's no need for me to stay here any longer."
She originally thought that Pei Jingyan would say something to persuade her to stay when he heard that she was leaving, but Pei Jingyan just nodded and said, "In that case, go to the Human Resources Department to handle your resignation."
Yi Xingyu tightened her grip on the resignation letter, "Is this all you want to say to me?"
Pei Jingyan looked at her expressionlessly, "What else do you want me to say?"
The two looked at each other, and Yi Xingyu saw only indifference and alienation in his eyes, as if the person who resigned was just an ordinary employee to her.
Yi Xingyu smiled bitterly, "Pei Jingyan, you are still as cruel as ever. You were like this even when we were abroad. I don't believe you can't see that I like you."
She always thought that Pei Jingyan was so indifferent to everyone, so it was a special case that Pei Jingyan allowed her to stay by his side.
It was not until she saw Pei Jingyan and Chen Lai together that morning that she realized that Pei Jingyan was not heartless, but that his heart had already belonged to someone.
Pei Jingyan said indifferently: "You like me, what does it have to do with me?"
Yi Xingyu's eyes slowly turned red, and she smiled and said, "So you like Chen Lai, right?"
She still held a glimmer of hope that Pei Jingyan would deny it, but this time Pei Jingyan remained silent.
Yi Xingyu finally believed what Shen Lai said, that Pei Jingyan took the initiative to propose to her. If Pei Jingyan had not liked each other for a long time, how could he have taken the initiative to propose marriage?
Yi Xingyu bit her lower lip so hard that a tooth mark appeared. After a long while, she finally spoke, her voice hoarse: "I have an 8 o'clock flight tomorrow morning. Will you come to see me off?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "Shen Lai will join the group tomorrow. I have to have breakfast with her, so I won't see you off."
Yi Xingyu rolled her throat hard, slowly and stiffly put down the resignation letter, straightened her back and left the office.
Pei Jingyan picked up the letter of resignation, glanced at it, and threw it into the trash can at his feet.
Just then, Pei Jingyan's cell phone rang.
When he saw the caller ID, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his fingertips slid across the screen, and he pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call was connected, Shen Lai's voice came from the other end: "Hello."
Pei Jingyan leaned back in his chair casually. "How's it going? Are we home yet?"
Today is the day Chang Suning is discharged from the hospital. Shen Lai went to pick her up specially. Calculating the time, she should have returned to the Shen family.
Shen Lai's background was noisy. She covered her phone and walked to a quiet place, whispering, "Did you hire all these servants at home?"
Pei Jingyan said slowly: "Your mother has just been discharged from the hospital and needs someone to take care of her."
Shen Lai muttered quietly: "Even so, there are too many people, right?"
Not only are there drivers, nannies and gardeners, but there are also servants who work together. This is more than the number of people the Shen family hired before they went bankrupt.
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows and teased, "Would Miss Shen be embarrassed?"
Shen Lai curled his lips and said, "I'm just worried that you'll spend money. Besides, having a nanny to take care of my mother is enough."
Pei Jingyan said slowly: "Your mother has just been discharged from the hospital. Do you want her to work so hard?"
Shen Lai choked for a moment, and then heard Pei Jingyan say: "Besides, we are married, your parents are my parents, and it is my responsibility to take care of them."
Hearing the words "your parents are my parents", Shen Lai's ears felt slightly hot. She looked at the clean yard in front of her and said hesitantly: "Then I thank you on behalf of my parents."
Pei Jingyan said in a playful tone: "If you want to say thank you, a kiss would be more practical."
Shen Lai blushed, "You wish, you pervert!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone. Thinking of what Pei Jingyan had just said, she felt the heat on her cheeks spreading to her neck. At this moment, Chang Suning called her. She came to her senses, answered, put away her phone and continued to work.
Pei Jingyan looked at the darkened screen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Pei, Miss Shen's agent wants to see you."
Pei Jingyan then put down his phone and said lazily, "Let her in."
Not long after, Wan Shilan walked in and called out softly, "Mr. Pei."
"What's up?"
Wan Shilan said cautiously: "Boss Pei, the paparazzi contacted me and said that they took photos of Miss Shen and Mr. Huo meeting a few days ago."
