Chapter 130 Is it fun to play tricks on me?
Shen Lai looked at the scene in shock.
These photos include those of Shen Lai when he was in junior high school, high school, and college.
Even Shen Lai himself didn't know when so many photos were taken of him. He could only see that they were taken secretly from every angle.
Shen Lai walked forward slowly and looked at the countless photos in front of him, which seemed like a large photo room, his head in a mess.
Even when Pei Jingyan was abroad, he actually sent people to keep an eye on her, from home, banquets, to bars, without missing a single scene.
At this time, Shen Lai tremblingly pulled a photo from the rope. The scene in it was very familiar to her. It was a photo taken at the door when she went to a drinking party with her agent on the day she was drugged.
So Pei Jingyan's appearance in the hotel was not a coincidence, he did it on purpose.
Pei Jingyan had known that she would appear there that night.
In an instant, the fog in Shen Lai's mind was cleared away like a dark cloud, and everything became clear.
Why did Pei Jingyan happen to appear in the hotel, why did Pei Jingyan propose to marry her after knowing that she was pregnant, why did Pei Jingyan stand up for her again and again after they got married, why did Pei Jingyan risk his life to stand in front of her when Bai Hansui attacked her.
It wasn't because Pei Jingyan wanted to get the position of heir, but because Pei Jingyan had fallen in love with her a long time ago.
From beginning to end, this was Pei Jingyan's plan.
Shen Lai's mind was spinning, and at that moment countless emotions surged up like a tide: shock, anger, and pain, almost swallowing her up.
She fell to the ground exhausted, her fingers turning white from gripping the photo so tightly.
-
It was already the second night when Pei Jingyan returned from his business trip.
Butler Sun took Pei Jingyan's coat and told him that Miss Shen seemed to be a little abnormal these past two days. She was always absent-minded and would hide in her room after every meal.
Pei Jingyan raised his head, slender fingers inserted into his tie, and his gestures revealed a sense of sexiness and laziness: "I was away on business for two days. What happened at home?"
"No." Butler Sun said, "It's just that the old man asked Miss Shen to come over yesterday."
Pei Jingyan paused as he untied his tie, then turned to look at Butler Sun, his eyes narrowing unconsciously. "Grandpa, have you met Shen Lai?"
Butler Sun nodded and explained, “The old man must have known that Miss Shen was injured, so he let her go.”
Pei Jingyan looked up towards the second floor, his eyes filled with an ambiguous look.
The corridor was silent. Pei Jingyan came to the door of Shen Lai's room and knocked on it.
There was no response from inside.
"Shen Lai."
Pei Jingyan said: "It's me."
The room was still silent.
Pei Jingyan frowned slightly, and he turned the doorknob casually. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked and opened just like that.
He pushed open the door and saw that the room was dark. The curtains were closed and not a single light could get in. Shen Lai was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to him, wondering what she was thinking.
Pei Jingyan walked in and asked, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Chen Lai was like a clockwork puppet. After hearing the voice, she slowly turned around to look at Pei Jingyan behind her. Her eyes and eyebrows were shrouded in shadows, and her emotions could not be seen clearly.
Pei Jingyan looked at Chen Lai and always felt that she seemed to be different from before. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Lai suddenly threw the thing in her hand in front of him.
"Boss Pei, can you explain to me what this is?"
The photos fell to the ground like snowflakes. Pei Jingyan lowered his head and looked at his feet. When he saw the contents clearly, his body suddenly became stiff.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Lai in front of him.
Shen Lai was also looking at him, with no expression on his face.
Pei Jingyan's throat rolled, and his voice became low and hoarse, "You know everything."
"Yes." Shen Lai said, "I have been to the attic."
Pei Jingyan clenched his fists suddenly.
Shen Lai looked into his eyes and said, "Pei Jingyan, is it fun to play tricks on me?"
She always thought that Pei Jingyan only treated her as a partner, but from the beginning to the end, Pei Jingyan was plotting against her.
Chen Lai was not even sure whether Pei Jingyan had deliberately taken advantage of her misfortune when she was drugged in the hotel that night.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she was drugged and then met Pei Jingyan and had sex with him.
Pei Jingyan's breathing was slightly heavy. "I didn't mean to play tricks on you."
Shen Lai smiled, "Yes, you didn't mean to play tricks on me. You just lied to me that you needed a wife and children to get the position of heir. In fact, you have already been the heir of Pei Group."
Hearing this, Pei Jingyan understood that Shen Lai already knew everything.
He closed his eyes, his voice full of forbearance, "Did Grandpa tell you?"
Shen Lai said word by word: "If it weren't for the old man saying that you have liked me for a long time and asking him to help you get past your parents, I would still be kept in the dark."
No one knows how Shen Lai felt after learning the truth. Compared to the joy of liking each other, what came first was anger and betrayal.
No one can tolerate the person next to them always plotting against them.
Pei Jingyan suddenly laughed. He squatted down and picked up the photos on the ground one by one. "Now that you know, there's no need for me to hide it anymore."
"I have indeed liked you for a long time."
Pei Jingyan was not sure when he fell in love with Chen Lai. Maybe it was when she saved him when he was a child, or maybe it was something that happened later.
In short, by the time Pei Jingyan realized it, he had already fallen in love with Chen Lai.
However, because of the birthday party incident, Shen Lai has always had a bad impression of Pei Jingyan and has been avoiding him ever since.
Pei Jingyan initially tried to get along well with Shen Lai, but he later found that only by quarreling with Shen Lai could he attract her attention.
So in order to get close to Chen Lai, Pei Jingyan could only pretend to hate Chen Lai and deliberately find fault with her every time they met.
It is better to be mortal enemies than strangers.
Shen Lai couldn't feel happy when she heard Pei Jingyan say that he liked her.
If she had heard Pei Jingyan say this before discovering the secret of the attic, she might have jumped up for joy and agreed to be with Pei Jingyan.
But after discovering that all of this was a trap and that she was the prey who was tricked into falling into it, her mood changed completely.
Shen Lai gritted his teeth and said, "So your love for me is to trick me into marrying you?"
Pei Jingyan raised his eyes to look at her, "Chen Lai, if I tell you the truth, will you marry me?"
