Chapter 61 Accidentally walked into the wrong room
Shen Lai's ears burned, like a thief who had been caught, and he said angrily: "Who wants to sleep with you? I just accidentally walked into the wrong room!"
After saying that, she quickly walked towards her room, regretting that she had made such a low-level mistake.
However, he did not notice that Pei Jingyan's lips curled up behind him, and his smile seemed to contain something more meaningful.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After Shen Lai finished taking a shower, she lay on the empty big bed, always feeling that something was missing around her.
Maybe it was because they always slept together on the show in order to play the role of a loving couple, and now they were suddenly separated, she was a little uncomfortable for a while.
Shen Lai closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
It was not until the second half of the night that sleepiness finally set in. She relaxed unconsciously and fell into a deep sleep.
As the situation between Bai Hansui and Shen Lai escalated, Bai Hansui could only publicly apologize to Shen Lai on Weibo and remained silent for a long time.
As for Huo Chilin, perhaps he was worried that Shen Lai would really post the recording online, so he hasn't shown up since he was humiliated in the hospital last time.
Shen Lai enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Because of her performance on variety shows, Shen Lai's popularity is growing. A month ago, she was the daughter of a criminal who was hated by everyone, but now she has transformed into a third-tier star.
After the variety show was suspended, the company arranged some new work for her, all of which were relatively easy schedules.
It can maintain exposure without affecting the baby in the belly.
Chen Lai knew without guessing that it must be Pei Jingyan's intention.
After finishing filming the commercial that day, Shen Lai returned to the villa and found that Pei Jingyan had not returned yet.
After finishing the dinner prepared by the nutritionist, she went upstairs. When she was about to enter the room, she suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the end of the corner.
It was like something had fallen to the ground.
Shen Lai followed the sound to the end of the corridor and looked up to see the closed attic above.
She paused slightly.
She remembered that when she first moved in, Butler Sun specifically told her that no one except Pei Jingyan could enter this room.
I don’t know what secrets are inside, it’s so mysterious.
Shen Lai was hesitating whether to go in and help Pei Jingyan pick up the things, but he felt that it would be inappropriate to go in without the other party's consent. At this moment, Pei Jingyan's low voice suddenly sounded behind him, "What are you doing?"
Shen Lai paused, she turned around, and Pei Jingyan appeared behind her without her knowing when.
Pei Jingyan glanced at the attic in front of him, his eyes darkening a little.
"Didn't Butler Sun tell you that no one except me can enter this room?"
His tone was a little cold, like a leopard lurking in the dark, without any warmth or emotion.
The air around them suddenly turned cold. This was the first time Pei Jingyan spoke in this tone since they met again.
Shen Lai felt a little uncomfortable, pursed his lips and said: “I just heard something fall inside.”
Pei Jingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was evaluating the truth of his words. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "I can clean up myself. You can go first."
Pei Jingyan had already ordered her to leave, so Chen Lai naturally wouldn't stay. She turned around and left without saying anything.
Looking at Chen Lai's leaving back, Pei Jingyan looked at the attic in front of him again, and there was an unfathomable depth in his deep eyes.
Shen Lai took a shower with a heavy heart. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he heard a knock on the door.
She had a rough idea of who was outside.
But now Shen Lai suddenly didn't want to open the door.
However, the knock on the door sounded again, and the dark shadow under the crack of the door showed no sign of leaving.
Shen Lai had no choice but to go over and open the door.
Pei Jingyan was standing at the door in a dark suit, looking like he had just come from the attic.
Shen Lai said calmly, "What's wrong?"
Pei Jingyan stared at Shen Lai's face, "Are you angry?"
Shen Lai pursed his lips, his voice flat, "Why should I be angry?"
She was just uncomfortable with Pei Jingyan's indiscriminate accusation against her.
Could it be that in Pei Jingyan's mind, she was the kind of person who would just break into other people's rooms and rummage through things?
Or did Pei Jingyan think that she was down and out now, so she did those shameful things?
Pei Jingyan looked at Shen Lai's cold expression and was silent for a moment. "I was too harsh just now."
Shen Lai paused, looked up at Pei Jingyan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Is Pei Jingyan apologizing to her?
Shen Lai lowered his head and plucked the thread on the towel, and whispered: "Although my family is in poverty, I won't do anything to rummage through things casually, so you don't have to worry."
Pei Jingyan's eyebrows twitched, "That's not what I meant."
He added, "It's just that there are important things in that room, so no one can enter."
So that's how it is.
Chen Lai felt much more comfortable, at least it meant that Pei Jingyan was not on guard against her.
Shen Lai said in an awkward tone, "I know, I don't take it to heart."
Pei Jingyan observed Shen Lai's expression and said teasingly: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Shen Lai raised his chin, "Who said I was angry? I have never been angry."
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows, but did not expose Shen Lai's poor acting skills. The smile on the corner of his lips was playful, "Since you are not angry, then I will go back first?"
Shen Lai made a gesture of invitation calmly.
After Pei Jingyan turned around and left, Shen Lai looked at his back, and then thought of his explanation just now. Shen Lai raised his lips and closed the door.
Since Pei Jingyan took the initiative to explain, she didn't bother with him about what happened just now.
The next day, when Shen Lai got up and went downstairs, Pei Jingyan had already gone to the company.
She was sitting alone in the restaurant eating when Butler Sun happened to pass by. She seemed to remember something and called out to him, "Butler Sun."
Butler Sun came over and said, "Miss Shen, what's the matter?"
Shen Lai hesitated and asked, "Do you know what's in the attic?"
Butler Sun shook his head. "I don't know either. Mr. Pei never lets us in."
It's been kept secret so well, could there really be something hidden inside?
Could it be some information about tax evasion, which is why Pei Jingyan was so nervous because she was going in?
Shen Lai thought, they are both married, would she still report Pei Jingyan?
Pei Jingyan looked down on her too much.
However, this incident did not cause much waves in Shen Lai's heart. She quickly put this little episode behind her and started to devote herself to work.
In a blink of an eye, Chen Lai has been pregnant for more than three months. One day, she received a call from her agent, saying that a variety show called "Rebirth in the Wilderness" wanted to invite her and Pei Jingyan to participate. The invited lineup was the original guests of "Rumors End at the Journey".
