Chapter 101 Rekindling an old relationship with my ex-boyfriend
I don’t know if it was Wan Shilan’s illusion, but after she said this, the temperature in the office seemed to drop suddenly.
Pei Jingyan slowly raised his head, his eyes cold and expressionless. "What did you say?"
Wan Shilan gritted her teeth and took out the photo and placed it in front of Pei Jingyan.
The light in the photo was dim. Shen Lai and Huo Chilin were standing face to face. They looked like they were talking about something and did not do anything excessive.
It would be normal for them to be friends meeting, but Huo Chilin happened to be Shen Lai's ex-boyfriend, and they met in the studio late at night. If this news were really leaked, there would be a lot of room for manipulating it.
Wan Shilan asked tentatively, "Boss Pei, do you want to buy this photo?"
Pei Jingyan turned his gaze towards Wan Shilan, his tone cold: "What do you think?"
This meant a buyout, but Pei Jingyan's eyes were a little cold, and just looking at him was frightening.
But this is understandable. Which husband would remain indifferent when seeing his wife meeting another man?
Wan Shilan swallowed and said, "Then I'll contact the paparazzi right away."
After Wan Shilan left, Pei Jingyan looked down at the photo in front of him, his eyes filled with coldness.
It was already dark when Shen Lai finished accompanying his parents.
Originally, Chang Suning wanted to invite her to dinner, but was rejected by Chen Lai.
Chang Suning asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
Shen Lai stammered, "It's nothing, it's just that Pei Jingyan is still waiting for me to eat at home."
Chang Suning understood as soon as she heard it. The young couple wanted a candlelight dinner and they thought they were in the way.
She jokingly asked, "Now that you have a husband, you can't even take care of your parents?"
Shen Lai was stubborn, "I was just too lazy to explain to him why I didn't go home for dinner."
Chang Suning saw through it but didn't say anything. Seeing that the young couple had such a good relationship, she felt relieved.
Chang Suning didn't try to persuade him to stay. "Okay, then go back. Don't keep Jing Yan waiting for too long."
Shen Lai said awkwardly, "I'll go first. I'll come visit you and dad when I have time."
Pretending not to notice her mother's meaningful look, Shen Lai slipped away as if escaping.
After coming out of the villa, Shen Lai took out her cell phone and sent a message to Pei Jingyan, saying that she would go back now.
Just as I was about to send it out, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
When will she report to Pei Jingyan?
Realizing this, Shen Lai quickly deleted the words in the dialog box, put away his phone, and put it back in his pocket.
Pei Jingyan thought she really wanted to go back and have dinner with him.
Shen Lai was about to get in the car when he suddenly felt someone staring at him from behind.
She turned around and saw that the street was pitch black and empty, with not a single person in sight.
Shen Lai was a little confused, but she didn't take it seriously, opened the door and got in the car.
It was completely dark when we returned to the villa.
She walked briskly into the restaurant and saw Pei Jingyan sitting at the dining table with several photos in front of him.
"Why haven't you started eating yet?" Shen Lai glanced at the photo in front of Pei Jingyan and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Pei Jingyan looked up at her without saying anything.
Shen Lai was confused. She picked up the photo and when she saw Huo Chilin in it, a look of surprise flashed across her face.
Wasn't this the night Huo Chilin came to see her?
"Where did you get this photo?"
Pei Jingyan said coldly: "The paparazzi gave it to me."
Shen Lai almost choked.
These paparazzi are so amazing, aren't they? They can even capture this.
Pei Jingyan tapped the table with his slender fingertips. "Miss Shen, shouldn't you explain what's going on?"
Shen Lai's throat rolled, "He did come to see me a few days ago."
Pei Jingyan narrowed his eyes, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Lai pursed his lips and said, "What's there to say about this? We just met and exchanged a few words."
"Just a few words?" Pei Jingyan sneered, "The paparazzi won't think so."
"Ms. Shen, don't you know how popular you are now? Why are you meeting your ex-boyfriend? Do you want people to say that you've rekindled your old flame?"
Listening to Pei Jingyan's sarcastic tone, Shen Lai felt a little uncomfortable.
When he met Yi Xingyu, he didn't say anything.
Besides, Huo Chilin had looked for her before, so Shen Lai didn’t know why Pei Jingyan was unhappy.
Shen Lai spoke with a bit of resentment, "It's all because of you, otherwise why would he come to me?"
Pei Jingyan frowned when he heard this, "Because of me?"
Shen Lai smiled wryly, "He saw photos of you and Yi Xingyu on the Internet and thought you were cheating, so he came to me."
Pei Jingyan frowned, obviously not expecting this to be the reason.
Looking at Shen Lai's resentful eyes again, his tense expression relaxed slightly, "Yi Xingyu has resigned and will leave tomorrow."
Shen Lai's attention was immediately drawn to this sentence, and he asked in surprise: "Resign?"
She seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "Is it because of what happened yesterday?"
Pei Jingyan did not deny it and just nodded.
Shen Lai rolled his eyes and pretended to be indifferent and asked, "You just let her go like this?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "She is indeed not suitable for working in the company in this state. It is a good thing for her to leave."
Chen Lai didn't believe that Yi Xingyu would leave so easily. She probably thought that Pei Jingyan would keep her, so she wanted to use the tactic of retreating to advance.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingyan did not play by the rules at all.
Looking at Pei Jingyan's calm expression, it seemed as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all. Shen Lai coughed lightly and stiffened his neck, "Don't think that just because you say that, you can pretend that the false accusation against me just now didn't happen."
Seeing her puffed up face and not even looking at her, like an angry hamster, Pei Jingyan raised the corner of his mouth, "What should I do? Should I kiss Miss Shen as an apology?"
As he spoke, he stood up with his hands on the dining table and leaned forward.
Shen Lai was like being electrocuted. He quickly took a step back and said in panic: "Forget it, forget it. This will not happen again. I won't bother with you this time."
After saying that, she sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating the nutritionist's meal.
Seeing that she looked afraid of being taken advantage of, Pei Jingyan chuckled and sat back in his seat to continue eating.
The dinner was finished in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. The two of them tacitly did not mention what had just happened, as if the incident with the photo had never happened.
The night passed quietly.
Early the next morning, a figure appeared at the airport.
Yi Xingyu sat on the bench, staring at the entrance.
Time passed little by little, and people crowded into the airport, but that figure never appeared.
Yi Xingyu took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was already half past seven.
At this moment, a voice was broadcasted overhead: "Passengers who have not yet boarded the plane, please board the plane as soon as possible..."
Yi Xingyu's heart sank completely.
She already had the answer in her heart, that person would never appear again.
Seeing the overhead broadcast urging her again, Yi Xingyu tightened the strap of her luggage bag, as if she had finally given up, stood up and turned to walk towards the security checkpoint.
Shen Lai knew nothing about this.
After breakfast, she and her agent Wan Shilan flew to the next city. Today she would read the script with other leading actors.
Shen Lai arrived at the crew in a special car. As soon as he got out of the car, he felt that familiar feeling of being watched again.
She quickly looked back and saw people coming and going on the road, but she didn't notice anything strange.
Strange, is she overthinking it?
At this time, the staff came over and Shen Lai followed him, but she did not notice a figure appearing under the big tree opposite. He was staring at the direction she left, with resentment in his eyes.
