Chapter 48 What if I pledge my love to you?
Shen Lai's attention was all on repaying the favor, and for a moment she didn't notice the word "husband" that Pei Jingyan said.
She was in a dilemma for a moment.
She has nothing now, so how can she repay the other party?
What's more, with Pei Jingyan's status and position, he has everything he wants, so how could he lack this little thing from her?
Shen Lai hesitated for a moment, "How do you want me to repay you?"
Pei Jingyan lowered his eyes, his gaze swept across Shen Lai's pink lips, his breath fell on her ear, with a kind of playful nastiness, "What if I say I will pledge my body to you?"
Shen Lai suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Promise yourself to me?
Pei Jingyan is kidding!
Looking at the playful smile on Pei Jingyan's lips, Shen Lai finally came to his senses and an expression of humiliation appeared on his face.
She knew that Pei Jingyan was not so kind.
If you don't want to help, just say so. Why do you deliberately say such things to humiliate her?
She was just touched for a few seconds because Pei Jingyan stood up for her!
Seeing Shen Lai's exasperated look, Pei Jingyan's eyes flashed with a smile. He put his hands in his pockets and slowly stood up. "Just kidding, I'm not so hungry as to be interested in my mortal enemy."
Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan with half belief and half doubt, somewhat doubting the authenticity of this sentence.
Pei Jingyan seemed not to see Shen Lai's expression, and said slowly: "The washing machine in the villa is too dirty. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. If someone can help me..."
Shen Lai was stunned at first, then he understood and immediately said, "I'll help you wash it!"
Pei Jingyan glanced at her.
Shen Lai added, "Until the end of the variety show, leave all your laundry to me!"
There was only one washing machine in the villa. Since the villa was rented temporarily, it had not been cleaned for a long time. Considering hygiene issues, the guests washed their own clothes by hand.
A young man like Pei Jingyan, who has never done housework, has definitely never washed his own clothes.
Anyway, Chen Lai usually washes clothes by hand, so it’s just a matter of a few more pieces of clothing.
Compared to clearing one's name, washing clothes is certainly easier.
Pei Jingyan raised his eyelids, "Are you sure?"
Shen Lai smiled wryly, "As long as you can help me solve the Bai Hansui issue, washing a few pieces of clothes is nothing."
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows casually, "Since Miss Shen is so sincere, then let's do this."
Shen Lai's eyes lit up slightly, and he said cautiously: "Does that mean you agree?"
She didn't expect Pei Jingyan's request to be so simple. She thought the other party would take the opportunity to make things difficult for her.
Pei Jingyan didn't answer directly, "If you don't perform well, the deal can be cancelled at any time."
This meant that he agreed, and the stone that was pressing on Shen Lai's chest finally fell to the ground.
With Pei Jingyan's help, there is a great chance that this matter can be resolved.
On the way back, Shen Lai suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what happened to the polygraph just now? Why didn't it light up?"
God knows how nervous she was just now. If the lie detector in Pei Jingyan's hand went off, their fake relationship as a couple would be completely exposed.
Pei Jingyan seemed to have guessed she would ask this, and said calmly, "I bribed the staff here in advance and had that person tamper with my lie detector."
Shen Lai suddenly understood.
No wonder Pei Jingyan lied so confidently, it turned out that he had already prepared a plan in advance.
Shen Lai bumped Pei Jingyan with his shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "I didn't expect you to be so smart."
Pei Jingyan lowered his eyes and looked into Chen Lai's bright eyes, and some emotion quickly flashed across his dark eyes.
Pei Jingyan went outside the villa to make a phone call. Chen Lai returned to the room first. When she reached the corner of the second floor, a tall figure suddenly blocked her way.
Looking closely, it was Huo Chilin, who had remained silent on the show just now.
At this time, Huo Chilin's face was solemn, as if others owed him millions.
Shen Lai's expression turned cold, "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Huo?"
Hearing Shen Lai's tone as if he was treating a stranger, Huo Chilin's eyes revealed deep resentment.
He just saw it on the second floor. Shen Lai and Pei Jingyan were talking and laughing downstairs. Why were they so cold towards him?
Could it be that his ex-boyfriend is not as good as his mortal enemy Pei Jingyan?
Huo Chilin suppressed the irritation that was snowballing in his chest and asked, "How are you going to deal with this?"
Shen Lai frowned, not understanding the meaning of this, "What do you mean by how to deal with it?"
Huo Chilin said stiffly, "What Hansui just said on the show."
Shen Lai didn't know why Huo Chilin was still worried about this matter. She said lightly: "It seems that this has nothing to do with Mr. Huo?"
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave when Huo Chilin suddenly grabbed her arm.
Shen Lai frowned, "Let go."
She subconsciously tried to break free, but then she heard Huo Chilin say, "I can help you."
Shen Lai stopped and slowly looked up at Huo Chilin.
Huo Chilin stared into her eyes and said, "As long as you divorce Pei Jingyan, I can help you clear your name."
Shen Lai's eyebrows twitched.
Divorce Pei Jingyan?
Seeing that Shen Lai didn't speak, Huo Chilin thought she was moved, and there was a touch of confidence in his tone, "Now only I can help you. Only if I come forward to explain, everyone will believe that you are innocent."
Shen Lai smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, help me clarify. Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be angry?"
When Bai Hansui was suddenly mentioned, Huo Chilin frowned.
If we help Chen Lai clarify, it means that what Han Sui said on the show was a lie.
However, when he thought about Bai Hansui putting the blame on him on the show, Huo Chilin seemed to have found a way to vent his anger, and his tone became much colder. "She lied first. She was wrong in the first place."
Hearing Huo Chilin speak so righteously, Shen Lai just felt like laughing.
Pei Jingyan didn't seem so righteous when he distanced himself from her.
Looking at Shen Lai's mocking eyes, Huo Chilin seemed to guess her thoughts and said with an annoyed look, "Anyway, if you want to continue to make it in the entertainment industry, you can only rely on my help. Do you think Pei Jingyan will help you? Even if you get married, he won't care about such a trivial matter."
Chen Lai suddenly said, "Why do you care so much about me and Pei Jingyan being together?"
Huo Chilin pressed his lips tightly into a line.
Shen Lai looked at him and asked, "You still like me, don't you?"
As if the secret thoughts deep in his heart were revealed, Huo Chilin clenched his fists and said, "You think too much. I just want to help you because we have been together before."
Shen Lai smiled, his smile full of sarcasm. "Mr. Huo, when I was being chased and scolded by your girlfriend's fans, why didn't you think of coming out to clarify for the sake of our past relationship? Why are you pretending to be a good guy now?"
Huo Chilin's jawline was tense and he didn't say anything.
Shen Lai pulled his hand back forcefully. "If you really have a conscience, you should have stood up and explained when Bai Hansui framed me on the show just now. Threatening me with this kind of thing now will only make me more disgusted with you."
"And since we've broken up, please stay away from me. I'm now with..."
When talking about Pei Jingyan, Shen Lai paused and changed the subject: "My husband and I have a good relationship. Please don't try to sow discord between us."
Huo Chilin didn't notice the subtle pause in Shen Lai's words, his attention was all on the word "husband".
Chen Lai actually calls Pei Jingyan husband!
At that moment, Huo Chilin's chest felt like it was hit by a hammer, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
They had been dating for half a year, and he had never heard Shen Lai call him that.
Why is Chen Lai so close to Pei Jingyan, his former mortal enemy?
Shen Lai didn't look at Huo Chilin's expression, turned around and went upstairs.
As she turned around, her eyes met with Pei Jingyan, who was standing on the stairs diagonally below her.
Pei Jingyan didn't know when he finished the call. He was leaning against the wall and looking at her with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
