Chapter 75 He is so handsome even when sleeping, it’s unfair!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the feeling of accelerated heartbeat came again, this time with a few more numbness.
Seeing Shen Lai staring at him blankly, Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "You don't believe me?"
Shen Lai's throat rolled, and he came back to his senses and shook his head, "Of course I believe you."
Although she didn't know why she had confidence in Pei Jingyan, she just felt that Pei Jingyan could do anything.
I don’t know when it started, but Pei Jingyan’s image in Shen Lai’s mind is no longer that annoying enemy.
It seems that with Pei Jingyan around, everything can be easily solved.
Hearing her low and soft words "believe", Pei Jingyan's lips curled up slightly, "Then let's go, leave this matter to me."
Chen Lai finally stopped hesitating and followed Pei Jingyan away. No matter how Han Xinjie called out to him, it was useless.
Coming out of the warehouse, the night enveloped the earth, the sound of frogs croaking came from afar, and the grass was blown by the wind.
When the two returned to the car, Pei Jingyan suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Shen Lai didn't understand and asked in confusion: "What don't you know?"
Pei Jingyan stared into her eyes under the dim car lights, "About your father."
Hearing this, Shen Lai bit his lip and said, "The matter was already a done deal at the time, and I'm not sure if I can overturn the verdict."
She hesitated, then added, "Besides, you've already helped my family a lot, and I don't want to trouble you."
Pei Jingyan jokingly said, "Do you not want to trouble me, or are you worried about owing me a favor?"
Shen Lai tightened his grip, "We are not a real couple, I can't come to you every time I have something to do, right?"
Her voice dropped. "And maybe you'll just find me troublesome."
Even real couples would not necessarily want to get into trouble, not to mention that she and Pei Jingyan were just partners.
"Who said I think you're troublesome?" Pei Jingyan suddenly said.
Shen Lai paused, and Pei Jingyan's casual voice rang in his ears, "Before marrying you, I thought about the consequences. Do you think this matter will affect me?"
Shen Lai's throat rolled slightly.
Does Pei Jingyan mean that he doesn't find her annoying?
Street lights passed through the car window, and Pei Jingyan looked into her eyes through the dim light. "Chen Lai, you are married to me, so you are a member of our Pei family. Even if we are just partners, if you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me directly."
Shen Lai only felt his heart swelling, as if it was wrapped in a ball of cotton soaked in water, sour and sweet.
She lowered her head, and after a long time, she uttered a low "oh".
There was still some distance to the pier, so Chen Lai simply took a nap in the car. After Pei Jingyan sent the message, he turned around and saw Chen Lai curled up in the seat and asleep.
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes were thick and curled like a fan, and her breathing was slow and even.
A smile appeared in Pei Jingyan's eyes, which he himself didn't even notice. He took a blanket from the back seat and covered Shen Lai with it.
The moonlight sprinkled on Shen Lai's face, her hair scattered on her forehead, and her skin had a soft porcelain white luster, like the first snow in winter.
Pei Jingyan subconsciously raised his hand to push away the loose hair on Chen Lai's forehead. Just when he was about to touch it, his fingertips suddenly curled up in restraint and did not move for a long time.
After a few seconds, Pei Jingyan withdrew his hand, turned his head to look at the dark night outside the window, and twisted his fingers in his pocket unconsciously.
When Chen Lai woke up again, he was already on the speedboat. The edge of the sky was outlined by soft light, dyed a warm pink.
She looked at the endless sea around her, suddenly realized something, and looked down at herself.
No, she fell asleep. How could she be on the boat?
Could it be that Pei Jingyan carried her onto the boat?
Thinking of this, Shen Lai turned his head to look at Pei Jingyan beside him. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, he suddenly found that he had his eyes closed, leaning against the side with his arms folded over his chest, and looked like he was asleep.
Shen Lai swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The morning light shone on Pei Jingyan's straight nose, revealing his handsome and three-dimensional features. His sleeves were loosely unbuttoned, and his bony hands rested naturally on his abdomen. He looked less sharp and more cynical than usual.
Chen Lai couldn't help but look at Pei Jingyan's sleeping face.
He is so handsome even when sleeping. It’s really unfair.
At this moment, the cell phone next to Pei Jingyan suddenly rang. Shen Lai subconsciously glanced at the lit screen and found that it was a text message.
She was about to look away when she accidentally caught a glimpse of the words "Shen Group".
Why did she suddenly mention her company?
Shen Lai hesitated for a moment, took the phone from Pei Jingyan, and saw the complete content of the text message.
"Boss Pei, I've already gone looking for the missing factory worker from the Shen Group you asked me to look for. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."
An employee of Shen Group?
Could it be Qin Qifeng?
Shen Lai couldn't hide his surprise and looked up at Pei Jingyan.
Pei Jingyan acted so quickly that he sent someone to find Qin Qifeng?
Thinking of what Pei Jingyan said in the car today, "If you have any problems that you can't solve, just come to me directly", Shen Lai's heart suddenly felt hot, as if it was being burned by fire.
It turned out that Pei Jingyan was not lying, he really intended to help her.
At this moment, the man driving the speedboat suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Pei, Madam, we're here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lai saw Pei Jingyan's eyelashes moving in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly stuffed the phone back into his pocket, pretending to look at the surrounding sea view and pretending nothing had happened.
When Pei Jingyan opened his eyes, he saw Chen Lai lying on the side looking at the scenery with an unnatural expression.
He glanced at Shen Lai's red ears and said casually, "Why are your ears so red?"
Shen Lai seemed to have just realized that he was awake. She subconsciously touched her ears and stammered, "Oh, maybe it's too hot?"
Pei Jingyan glanced at the sea breeze blowing around him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Noticing Pei Jingyan's reaction, Shen Lai coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, "Well, we're already here, let's get off the boat."
Before Pei Jingyan could speak, Chen Lai had already gotten off the boat.
Looking at her fleeing back, Pei Jingyan smiled. He lowered his head and noticed the text message on his phone.
He unlocked the screen, glanced at the content casually, and replied briefly, "I understand."
When the two returned to the island, the other guests had already woken up.
When Wu Qi saw Shen Lai coming back, she took the initiative to come over and show concern: "I heard from Director Miao that you went to the hospital for a checkup last night. How was it? Are you okay?"
Shen Lai didn't say that the two of them didn't leave for this matter last night, and shook his head: "I'm fine."
Wu Qi: "That's good. I was really scared yesterday. Fortunately, you are okay."
Shen Lai lowered her eyes slightly. If Pei Jingyan hadn't suddenly rushed over and grabbed the snake, she might have been in the hospital now.
As if seeing through Shen Lai's thoughts, Wu Qi bumped her with her shoulder and said with a wicked smile: "I've already told you that subconscious reactions can't deceive people. Do you believe it now?"
Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan with complicated eyes, and the scene of Pei Jingyan rushing towards him recklessly yesterday emerged in his mind again.
However, she changed her mind and shook her head vigorously again.
Pei Jingyan said that he was just worried about the baby in her belly, not because of her.
Shen Lai raised his hand to cover his chest, his eyelids drooped, and the light in his eyes was sparse and broken.
However, even though she knew the truth, she still felt uncomfortable.
