Chapter 14 Don’t come up to me like last time in the hotel
Bai Hansui's smile froze on her face instantly. "W-what?"
Pei Jingyan's voice was calm and composed. "Since you're so considerate of others, you probably don't want to cause trouble for the other guests, right?"
Bai Hansui's expression turned red and blue, "But, but I can't move so many suitcases by myself..."
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So Miss Bai doesn't want to contribute, but also wants to be a good person and gain reputation?"
Shen Lai tried hard to suppress his smile.
What she hated most in the past was Pei Jingyan's mouth. Sometimes she even suspected that he could poison her to death with just one lick.
But now when I use it on others, it doesn’t seem so annoying anymore.
"Miss Bai, my wife is pregnant, and I can't bear to let her work at home." Pei Jingyan said casually, his hands in his pockets, as if it was true. "Besides, I accompanied her to participate in the variety show, not to let her do hard labor."
When he heard the word "wife", Shen Lai's ears felt inexplicably hot, and the heat flowed up his cheeks.
She knew very well that Pei Jingyan said this on purpose in front of the camera.
Originally, the audience in the live broadcast room were still scolding Pei Jingyan for being ungentlemanly, unsympathetic, and sarcastic to a woman in public.
However, after hearing Pei Jingyan's words, the barrage of comments realized that this was clearly a punishment for Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling, so how did it become everyone's task?
"Yeah, the original intention is that those who don't answer the questions will be punished. If I have to carry my own luggage, what's the point of playing the game?"
[Although I don't like Chen Lai, I support President Pei this time.]
[Besides, Shen Lai is pregnant. This isn't her job in the first place. Wouldn't it be a shame to ask her to carry the luggage?]
[Even Chen Lai has fans. Boss Pei must have hired a lot of online followers, right?]
Huo Chilin frowned, his expression displeased. "Boss Pei, we're all guests on this show. Why are you being so fussy?"
"Mr. Huo is not petty." Pei Jingyan raised the corner of his lips, "Then you can move it."
Huo Chilin choked and looked around, realizing that all the staff and guests present were looking at him.
He couldn't lose face and clenched his fists. "Move if you want. I'm not as calculating as you are."
Huo Chilin rolled up his sleeves and began to help Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling carry their luggage.
Yan Rui and Wu Qi looked at each other, and thinking that the camera was still there, they decided to take the suitcase themselves after considering the situation.
Only Pei Jingyan and Shen Lai came back empty-handed.
Seeing that Chen Lai was hesitant to speak, Pei Jingyan raised his lips to a cold smile, even a little cold, "Why, are you feeling sorry for your ex-boyfriend?"
Shen Lai didn't know where he saw it from, and said helplessly: "No, I just felt that there was a camera filming, and Yan Rui and Wu Qi took it themselves. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to do this?"
This is how it is in the entertainment industry. Even if you hate someone, you have to pretend nothing happened on the surface.
Even though she had been badly criticized, there was nothing to be criticized for anymore.
"What are you afraid of?" Pei Jingyan said calmly, "Even if you can't make it in the entertainment industry, the Pei family can still support you."
Shen Lai laughed at himself, "It's impossible for the Pei family to support me forever."
They both knew very well that they got married to help Pei Jingyan obtain the inheritance rights. Once he secured his position, their marriage would be over.
By that time, Shen Lai will still have to rely on himself.
Pei Jingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils an unfathomable black. He said slowly, "If you're so afraid that the Pei family will kick you out, then be tactful and try to please me. Maybe if I'm happy, I can even save you and your mother from living on the streets."
Shen Lai shook his head and said, "Forget it. When my career gets better, I won't have to rely on your Pei family anymore."
Pei Jingyan's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this, and he sneered with ambiguous meaning.
After the other guests left, Bai Hansui looked guilty and said, "Chilin, it's all my fault. I've caused you trouble."
Huo Chilin's face was solemn. "Don't say that. You are also thinking about Mr. Yan and Miss Tong."
Bai Hansui bit her lip, looking a little aggrieved. "But Mr. Pei seems to have misunderstood me. We've never met before. I don't know why he has such strong malice towards me. Is it Lai Lai..."
Huo Chilin frowned slightly. Although Shen Lai had a bit of a spoiled brat's temper, she never bothered to speak ill of others behind their backs.
"It shouldn't be her. She's not that kind of person."
Bai Hansui's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "I also think that although Lai Lai is angry with me, he shouldn't do such a thing."
Huo Chilin didn't notice the unwillingness that flashed in her eyes, and turned to look at Shen Lai's back.
Why didn't he realize before that Shen Lai was so selfish that he refused to help with even such a small favor?
Fortunately, he broke up with her early.
Arriving at the villa, Dai Jingxuan patted Huo Chilin on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Dai, you're too polite. We're all here to participate in the show. There's no need to be so calculative."
When saying this, Huo Chilin looked at Pei Jingyan meaningfully.
Dai Jingxuan followed his gaze and snorted coldly, "After all, he's a businessman. It's normal for him to be profit-driven."
There was some dissatisfaction in his tone.
Huo Chilin responded perfunctorily, not understanding how Chen Lai could be involved with someone like Pei Jingyan.
Shen Lai's vision has become worse and worse since he left him.
In order to attract his attention, he would even cooperate with his mortal enemy Pei Jingyan.
At this time, one of the guests noticed that there were four envelopes of different colors on the coffee table in the living room.
"What is this?" Wu Qi took a closer look curiously.
Director Miao appeared with a small loudspeaker: "Now in front of you are the numbers of four rooms. The number you draw is where you will stay tonight."
The guests present were eager to try after hearing this, and everyone wanted to draw the biggest and best room.
The Dai Tong group, which debuted the longest, was the first to choose the purple envelope. The Yan Wu group took the green one, the Huo Bai group chose the blue one, and the Pei Chen group chose the red one.
Pei Jingyan opened the envelope and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Lai moved closer to take a look curiously.
The envelope only said: Cookie game, participants bite chocolate cookie bars in pairs and compete to see who can maintain the shorter remaining distance. The winning guest will receive a luxurious top-floor room with an open-air garden.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhh this is so exciting! 】
[I was wondering why Director Miao was so kind this time. Turns out he was waiting here.]
[There are no guide dogs! ]
[So, can I see Sui Sui and Huo Shao kiss me today? Yeah!]
The sudden task caught the guests off guard. Pei Jingyan took out the chocolate biscuit from the envelope, looked at Shen Lai in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Shen, do you want to stay in the best room?"
