Chapter 13 Looks like he knows how to play
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lai almost choked on his saliva.
If she hadn't remembered that she was still recording a show, she would have almost lost her expression.
Pei Jingyan lowered his eyes to look at her, his deep, dark eyes seemed to be dipped in ink, "Fortunately, she is pregnant, otherwise I would not be able to pursue her."
Shen Lai bumped into those bottomless eyes, and his heartbeat quickened slightly.
Even if Pei Jingyan wanted to maintain his image, he wouldn't have to say such exaggerated words, right?
If she hadn't known that they were in a contractual relationship, she might have been deceived.
[Damn, does this mean that President Pei has already liked Chen Lai?]
[I've only heard of women using children to trap men, but I've never heard of men using children to trap women.]
【Tian Gang is on the contrary! 】
[Boss Pei looks like he knows how to play, but I didn't expect him to be so innocent.]
Seeing that things were going well, Director Miao continued to ask, "Then why did you only get together two months ago?"
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows casually, "Come to think of it, I should thank her short-sighted ex-boyfriend for giving me this opportunity."
As he said this, his eyes swept calmly over someone in the crowd.
Huo Chilin gritted his teeth, a flame flickering in his eyes.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and invisible sparks flew out.
[What do you mean? Did Chen Lai have a boyfriend before?]
[And from what Mr. Pei said, that guy doesn't seem to be a good person.]
[Damn, how did I miss this? Someone please tell me who Shen Lai's ex-boyfriend is!]
[Chen Lai has only been in the entertainment industry for half a year, and she's been with Mr. Pei for less than three months. She probably started having a boyfriend before she entered the entertainment industry, right?]
[Mr. Pei, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now!]
Huo Chilin suddenly spoke up, "As far as I know, President Pei and Shen Lai are sworn enemies, how could they be together?"
Pei Jingyan tilted his head and met Huo Chilin's provocative eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Huo, do you mean that mortal enemies can't be together?"
Huo Chilin sneered, "Of course not, but I remember that Shen Lai hated you since childhood, so it's unlikely that he would marry you, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Lai, as if he was sure that she would stand on his side.
Looking at Huo Chilin's confident expression, Shen Lai sneered in his heart.
Both of them broke up. Who gave this ordinary man the confidence?
Shen Lai said in a cold tone: "Mr. Huo said it was when we were young. People change, don't they?"
Huo Chilin's heart suddenly sank and he clenched his fists unwillingly.
Shen Lai suddenly changed the subject, "Besides, I don't seem to be familiar with Mr. Huo, right? Mr. Huo knows a lot about my affairs."
[Oh, didn't Mr. Huo say he didn't know Shen Lai? How come he even knew that she had hated Mr. Pei since she was a child?]
[Mr. Huo is also from the upper class, so isn't that normal?]
[The bitch is just being pretentious, pretending to seduce Master Huo! ]
Bai Hansui came out in time to smooth things over, "Lai Lai, don't get me wrong, I was the one who told Mr. Huo that."
She glanced at Pei Jingyan cautiously, then looked at Shen Lai, and said in embarrassment: "Didn't you tell me before that you hated President Pei?"
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Lai with interest.
"Everyone in the circle knows that Pei Jingyan and I are sworn enemies. Do I need to tell you?" Shen Lai remained calm. "And Miss Bai, do I know you well?"
Bai Hansui's face froze, as if she didn't expect Chen Lai to embarrass her in front of so many people.
She pinched the corner of her clothes, her expression becoming aggrieved. "Are you still blaming me for not helping when your family got into trouble? It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really don't have the ability to do so."
Shen Lai has always been criticized for Shen Lingzhen's imprisonment. When the old things were brought up again, the barrage immediately seized the opportunity to curse.
[Chen Lai, do you have any shame? Helping you is a favor, not helping you is their duty, and you are even using moral blackmail.]
[It's not like Bai Hansui made Shen Lai's father break the law, so she's bullying honest people, right?]
I heard that Shen Lai and Bai Hansui knew each other before they entered the entertainment industry. For some reason, they stopped seeing each other after the Shen family went bankrupt. So this is the reason.
[Can the daughter of a criminal get out of the entertainment industry? ]
Huo Chilin couldn't bear it any longer, so he put his arm around Bai Hansui's shoulders and scolded her coldly, "Chen Lai, don't go too far. Your father broke the law, and can Sui Sui still interfere with the law?"
When she heard the word "illegal", Shen Lai's eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to open her mouth, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
Pei Jingyan's lazy voice rang in his ears, "Miss Bai, do you think too highly of yourself?"
Bai Hansui's pitiful expression suddenly froze on her face.
Pei Jingyan's lips curled up slightly, "With me here, why would she go looking for you?"
A trace of panic flashed in Bai Hansui's eyes, "I..."
Pei Jingyan's eyes held a mocking smile, "Or is Miss Bai more capable than me? You can help me with something that even I can't solve?"
Bai Hansui blushed, "That's not what I meant..."
Shen Lai stared at Pei Jingyan in a daze, somewhat surprised that he would speak up for him.
Is it because he is in front of the camera that he does this?
Now the barrage realized that something was wrong.
Yes, instead of looking for Bai Hansui, it is better to look for Pei Jingyan. His status and position are hundreds of streets ahead of the Bai family.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming tense, Director Miao quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "Pei Chen's team has passed the question, it's the next group's turn!"
The question that Huo Bai’s group drew was: Have Huo Chilin and Shen Lai ever dated as rumored?
Huo Chilin frowned slightly and said frankly, "Of course not."
A sneer suddenly rang out in the quiet place.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Pei Jingyan raised his hands and said, "It's okay, you guys continue."
But the smile at the corner of his lips was very meaningful no matter how you looked at it.
Huo Chilin's temple veins throbbed faintly. As if to clarify something, he spoke word by word, "My girlfriend has always been Sui Sui, no one else."
After hearing this answer, the CP fans were like setting off firecrackers during the New Year, mocking Chen Lai.
Pei Jingyan's half-smile contained undisguised mockery, "It seems your ex-boyfriend is not only uncultured, but also spineless."
Under any other circumstances, Shen Lai would have refuted it long ago, but this time she had no way to defend herself.
Huo Chilin is indeed not a good person.
Shen Lai raised his chin guiltily, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, don't you?"
Pei Jingyan looked at her deeply and said, "Sorry, I really don't have any."
Shen Lai choked.
Come to think of it, she seemed to have never heard of Pei Jingyan dating anyone. People outside said that he had a cold personality and was only interested in work.
For no reason, Shen Lai recalled that night in the hotel. Was it because she drugged Pei Jingyan and pestered him that he had sex with her?
At this time, Pei Jingyan suddenly said, "Although your vision was not very good before, it is still acceptable this time."
Chen Lai didn't understand, and it took her a while to realize that Pei Jingyan was talking about her agreement to get a marriage certificate with him.
This guy is still as shameless as ever.
In a trance, it was the turn of Yan Wu's group. The question they drew was: Is the rumor of catching an adulterer in a hotel true or false?
Yan Rui was silent for a moment, "Fake."
Everyone looked at Wu Qi, expecting to hear some big news from her, but she didn't refute it.
Director Miao couldn't control his gossipy spirit, "So what is the real situation?"
Yan Rui pointedly said, "This doesn't seem to fall within the scope of the question."
Director Miao: “…”
Are you the director or am I the director?
Finally it was Dai Tong's group's turn.
The pair had been behaving normally since their debut, so viewers in the live stream naturally assumed they would make it through without a hitch.
As the scrolling messages on the screen stopped, the question selected this time was: "I heard that the best actor and actress were photographed getting a divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Is this true?"
Fans of the two were about to yell at them when they saw this question, but Dai Jingxuan's face darkened. "What a messed up question! Doesn't the production team even screen it beforehand?"
He has always been a low-key and introverted person since the start of the show. Suddenly, such a big reaction made not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but also the guests and staff present look at each other in surprise.
Dai Jingxuan realized his mistake belatedly and said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "This question is too outrageous. I'm too lazy to answer it."
[Isn't the actor's reaction a bit too much? The other guests have answered, so why can't they?]
[I think so, too. If you have nothing to hide, wouldn't it be okay to just deny it?]
Didn't you hear actor Dai say he didn't want to answer because it was too outrageous? Isn't this a disguised denial?
Is it hard to answer "no"? At least you can type faster than I can, right?
The discussion continued in the comments, and Director Miao asked cautiously, "Actor Dai, are you refusing to answer?"
Dai Jingxuan said with a straight face, "I told you, this question is a waste of time!"
Director Miao had no choice but to look at Tong Miaoling, but the latter did not say anything.
Five minutes later, the entry #Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling suspected of divorce# became a hot search.
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but many passers-by also found this scene very strange.
Dai Jingxuan's reaction was too extreme for something that could be solved with just one sentence.
Instead, it proves that the divorce rumors are not groundless.
Because the two refused to answer the questions, as punishment, they needed to help other guests carry their luggage to the villa.
"It's not easy to ask Teacher Dai and Teacher Tong to carry all this luggage, right?" Bai Hansui looked embarrassed. "Why don't we do it ourselves?"
Huo Chilin hummed solemnly, "I think so too. We have six suitcases in total, and Mr. Dai and Miss Tong have two more. It's too much work for them to move them all."
These remarks immediately attracted comments praising them for being kind and thoughtful.
Seeing that the two of them cared so much about them, Tong Miaoling nodded gratefully to Bai Hansui, and felt a little more favorable towards them.
Bai Hansui responded with a smile.
"By the way, Lai Lai, you don't have any objections, right?" Bai Hansui suddenly looked at Chen Lai.
Being suddenly called out, Shen Lai raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Bai Hansui bit her lip and said, "Because you're used to being served when you travel, I'm worried you won't like it, so I'm asking in advance."
[Chen Lai used to be so difficult to get along with, Bai Hansui even had to ask for her opinion.]
[That's right, Yan Rui and Wu Qi didn't express any opinions, so how could she, a newcomer, get a turn?]
[No matter how rich she was in the past, her family still went bankrupt and her father was in jail.]
[Although it's unethical to say this, I still want to say that he deserves it!]
Chen Lai had to admit Bai Hansui's tactics. He put her on the grill in front of so many people. If she answered that she didn't want to, it would be equivalent to offending the movie emperor and queen and their fans.
She can forget about staying in the entertainment industry anymore.
At this time, Pei Jingyan spoke casually: "Since Miss Bai is so considerate of others, why don't you help carry everyone's luggage?"
