Chapter 63 It’s Not My Child
When Shen Lai heard this, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.
Bai Hansui is pregnant?
Huo Chilin had been observing Shen Lai's expression. He thought that Shen Lai would be restless when he heard that Bai Hansui was pregnant. However, Shen Lai's expression did not change at all, as if he did not care at all.
Shen Lai said lightly, "Really? Then congratulations."
Huo Chilin clenched his teeth and asked, "You don't mind at all?"
Shen Lai looked at Huo Chilin with a strange look, "It's not my child, why should I care?"
Huo Chilin didn't believe that Shen Lai didn't feel anything at all, but her expression was not fake at all, as if she really didn't care about him.
"Let's go." Pei Jingyan suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, looking at Chen Lai affectionately, "I'll take you home first, and then go to the company."
Shen Lai was already used to Pei Jingyan pretending to be affectionate with her in front of outsiders, so she smiled in cooperation, "Okay."
Pei Jingyan curled his lips and looked at Huo Chilin, "When we get married, Mr. Huo, don't forget to treat us to the wedding."
This sentence undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Huo Chilin. His face suddenly darkened and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
Shen Lai didn't even look at Huo Chilin and left with Pei Jingyan.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Pei Jingyan lowered his head from time to time to talk to Shen Lai. The backs of the two looked extremely compatible.
Huo Chilin had always felt that Shen Lai was playing hard to get in front of him, but after what happened just now, he suddenly had a premonition at this moment.
Shen Lai might really not like him anymore.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Huo Chilin was forced to collect his thoughts and take out the cell phone from his pocket.
Bai Hansui's name flashed on the screen.
Huo Chilin pressed his lips into a line and casually pressed the answer button.
Bai Hansui's voice came from the other side, "Chilin, are you here? I'm a little scared to be alone."
Huo Chilin forced himself to calm down, and said in a tone that didn't sound unusual, "I'll be right there."
Putting away his clothes and going to sleep, Huo Chilin looked deeply at the direction where Chen Lai left, then turned and left.
At the same time, Shen Lai returned to the car.
She looked at Pei Jingyan beside her and asked curiously, "Do you think Bai Hansui is pregnant?"
Pei Jingyan glanced at her when he heard that. "Why? Do you think Bai Hansui is faking her pregnancy?"
Shen Lai thought for a moment and said, "I just think the timing is a bit coincidental."
Bai Hansui didn't get pregnant earlier or later, but she got pregnant after the conflict with Huo Chilin. The timing was too perfect.
But Chen Lai didn't think too much about it. There are so many coincidences in the world. She was drugged in the hotel that night, didn't she just happen to meet Pei Jingyan?
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the variety show was to be broadcast. Before going on the show, the two went to visit Pei Jingyan's grandfather.
Grandpa Pei Jingyan is over seventy years old this year, but he is still in good health and has even set aside a piece of land in the yard for growing vegetables.
When we arrived at the old house, Mr. Pei was basking in the sun in the yard outside.
"grandfather."
Hearing the familiar voice, Mr. Pei opened his eyes and saw Pei Jingyan walking in from outside.
He noticed Shen Lai behind Pei Jingyan at a glance.
Seeing Mr. Pei looking at him, Shen Lai greeted him politely, "Grandpa."
Mr. Pei looked at Shen Lai from behind his reading glasses, "Are you Jing Yan's wife?"
Shen Lai nodded, "Yes, my name is Shen Lai."
"Chen Lai?" Hearing this name, Mr. Pei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your father is Chen Lingzhen?"
When mentioning her father in prison, Shen Lai's eyes flashed with sadness, "Yes."
She thought that Mr. Pei minded her identity like everyone else, but Mr. Pei said, "Come to think of it, your father came to the Pei family to celebrate my birthday before. I didn't expect such a coincidence that my grandson actually married his daughter."
Mr. Pei looked at Shen Lai and comforted her: "Although your father is in jail now, if you marry into our Pei family, we will not let you be bullied."
Shen Lai didn't expect Mr. Pei to say that. He was stunned for a moment, and a warm current seemed to flow through his heart.
Before coming here, she was worried that Mr. Pei would dislike her like Pei Jingyan's parents.
Old Master Pei looked at Pei Jingyan and said, "You little brat, I asked you to get married before, but you refused to do so. Now you come here and give me a big surprise, right?"
Pei Jingyan put his hands in his pockets and said, "Didn't you want a great-grandson? Now that you have one, aren't you happy?"
Hearing about his great-grandson, Mr. Pei's eyes lit up with a smile, "Of course I'm happy. How could I not be happy that you have descendants?"
Old Master Pei asked the servants to bring chairs for the two of them to sit on. They chatted about family matters for a long time until it was dark, and then they prepared to go back.
Before leaving, Mr. Pei gave Shen Lai a big red envelope and asked her to visit him when she was free in the future.
After coming out of the old house, Shen Lai felt relieved.
Mr. Pei was more approachable than she had imagined.
"Your grandfather is so easy to get along with?" Shen Lai said to Pei Jingyan.
Pei Jingyan glanced at her and asked, "Why? Is my grandfather a monster that will eat you?"
Shen Lai clenched the red envelope in his hand and said calmly, "That's not the case. I just thought your grandfather would mind my family's affairs."
Pei Jingyan looked at Chen Lai. She lowered her eyes to look at the red envelope in her hand. Her eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Pei Jingyan suddenly said, "Chen Lai."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lai looked up at Pei Jingyan.
Pei Jingyan's deep eyes stared at her, "You married me, so you are mine. No one has the right to say anything bad about you, not even my family members."
At this moment, Shen Lai's heart seemed to be hit by something, and the electric shock-like feeling quickly spread throughout her body, making her a little at a loss.
She quickly turned her eyes away, her expression a little awkward, "So you can say comforting words."
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I'm not trying to comfort you, what I said is the truth."
Chen Lai didn't respond, but his fingertips unconsciously dug into his sleeves, and his heart beat uncontrollably faster.
As the day of the premiere of "Survival on Deserted Island" arrived, millions of viewers suddenly flocked into the live broadcast room.
【I’m here, I’m here! I’ve finally been waiting for this! 】
【Nervous CP fans report! 】
[Holy crap, is this an island? The production team really spent a lot of money!]
[Don't mention it, this really feels like surviving on a deserted island. I'm already looking forward to it! ]
In order to make it more realistic, Director Miao specially booked an island as the theme of wilderness survival. In the following time, the four teams of guests will live on this island.
As the first guests to arrive here, Chen Lai and Pei Jingyan met Wu Qi and Yan Rui who arrived later after a long absence.
Wu Qi took the initiative to come over and hug Shen Lai.
Shen Lai smiled and patted her on the back, "Long time no see."
Wu Qi let go of her and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet you on this show."
Not long after, the best actor and actress also arrived. They were not very familiar with the two pairs of guests present, so everyone just nodded to each other as a greeting.
Since they were all guests on the previous show "Rumors Stop on the Journey", there was no need for them to introduce themselves to each other. After all the guests arrived, Director Miao appeared with a small loudspeaker.
"Now let us invite the last pair of guests to come on stage."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, looking at each other.
There are other guests attending?
The audience in the live broadcast room was also surprised.
[Are there other guests? They weren't mentioned in advance.]
[Yeah, I thought there were only these three pairs of guests!]
[As expected of Director Miao, the familiar mischief segment is here again! ]
[Man, you've piqued my curiosity! Reveal it to me quickly!]
As Director Miao's voice fell, two familiar figures appeared not far away.
As the camera zoomed in, the faces of Huo Chilin and Bai Hansui came into view.
