Chapter 92 Pei Jingyan and a Strange Woman
Shen Lai's back stiffened.
She raised her head and looked at Pei Jingyan's half-smile, and quickly realized that Pei Jingyan was deliberately teasing her.
She didn't fall for it this time and said angrily, "You wish. I won't kiss you."
Looking at Shen Lai's fair profile, Pei Jingyan lowered his chin and laughed a few times, "It seems you are not that stupid."
His voice was not as low and cold as before, but instead had a hint of teasing and doting. Shen Lai couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pei Jingyan. He was bathed in the morning sun, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were eye-catching, and his whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of light golden light.
Shen Lai's heart seemed to skip a beat. She was silent for a while, bit her lip, and said awkwardly: "But I still want to thank you."
No matter what, Pei Jingyan helped her a lot.
Otherwise, her mother would not have been able to receive such good treatment, and her father would not have been released from prison so quickly.
Looking at Shen Lai's sincere eyes, Pei Jingyan said slowly: "You married me, your parents are my parents, and it is my duty to do this for them."
Although they said so, the two knew in their hearts that Pei Jingyan actually didn't need to do this.
But he did it in the end, and didn't ask for anything in return.
Shen Lai felt the familiar feeling of accelerated heartbeat reappear, her cheeks a little hot, just at this time the car to pick them up arrived, she quickly changed the subject: "Well... the car is here, let's go."
After saying that, he got into the car as quickly as possible without even looking at Pei Jingyan's face.
Pei Jingyan had discovered that Chen Lai would always run away when he felt embarrassed. Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he slowly followed behind him and got into the car.
It was a rare family reunion, so in the next few days, Shen Lai went to the hospital to accompany her parents as soon as she got off work.
Perhaps because Shen Lingzhen was released from prison, Chang Suning's condition improved a lot. Even the doctor said that she could go home and recuperate soon after her condition stabilized.
After hearing this, Shen Lai finally felt relieved.
Her biggest wish now is that her family can be together in peace and safety.
Originally, Shen Lingzhen had planned to reopen the company, but after bringing it up, he was stopped by Shen Lai.
"Dad, now that my career is on the rise, I can support you and Mom. From now on, you can just stay at home and enjoy your old age." Shen Lai said seriously.
Ever since appearing on a variety show with Pei Jingyan, Shen Lai's value has skyrocketed, and his daily schedule is packed.
If she hadn't been pregnant and unable to take on some heavy-duty work, she might have earned more.
Chang Suning also did not support Shen Lingzhen's entrepreneurship. Not to mention that he had to start from scratch, the fact that Han Xinjie had designed to be imprisoned had already scared her a lot. If someone framed him again in the future, Shen Lingzhen's second half of life would be over.
What's more, he is old and whether he can handle it is another matter. Even if he starts a company in the future, Shen Lai will not take over.
After much persuasion, Shen Lingzhen finally gave up the idea of reopening the company.
It was already evening when Shen Lai returned from the hospital. He walked into the living room and found it quiet.
Normally, Pei Jingyan would have returned at this time.
At this time, Butler Sun came over and said, "Miss Shen, the nutritionist has prepared dinner."
Shen Lai asked doubtfully, "Isn't Pei Jingyan coming back for dinner tonight?"
Butler Sun said, "Boss Pei said he has something to do and won't be home for dinner tonight."
Shen Lai paused, "Not coming back?"
Butler Sun nodded, "That's what Mr. Pei said."
Shen Lai was wondering if Pei Jingyan's company wanted him to work overtime?
She didn't think too much about it and followed Butler Sun to the kitchen.
In the past, every time Chen Lai came back, Pei Jingyan would eat with her. Today, it was rare that he was not there. The table was very quiet, so quiet that one could even hear the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.
Shen Lai felt a little uncomfortable for once.
Obviously, there was not much for the two of them to talk about while they were eating, but there was something different.
Shen Lai put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites. Seeing that she had hardly touched her dinner, the nutritionist asked, "Miss Shen, do you not like the dinner I made today?"
Shen Lai was looking into the yard. Hearing this, he retracted his gaze and smiled at the nutritionist. "No, I have no appetite. It has nothing to do with you."
Just after dinner, Shen Lai received a call from Wu Qi, who wanted to ask her out shopping.
The two haven't seen each other since the variety show ended. Shen Lai happened to have nothing to do in the evening, so she agreed and made an appointment with the other party for the time and place.
After changing clothes and going out, Shen Lai took a taxi to the mall, where Wu Qi was already waiting.
She was dressed up today, wearing a baseball cap and a mask. Compared to her, Shen Lai was no different from running naked on the street.
Wu Qi looked at Shen Lai in surprise: "Why did you go out dressed like this?"
Shen Lai looked down at himself, "Is there any problem?"
Wu Qi said helplessly: "My dear Miss, do you think you are still the same 18th-tier celebrity as before? Are you not afraid of being photographed when you come out dressed like this?"
Shen Lai didn't really feel that she was popular. To her, the most that happened was that there were more paparazzi around when she was working, and nothing else seemed to have changed.
Wu Qi compared herself and said, "I'm already dressed like this, let alone you. I wonder how many followers you've gained recently? You're almost dominating the Weibo charts this month."
Ever since Bai Hansui's self-directed and self-acted drama was exposed and Shen Lingzhen was framed, Shen Lai gained millions of fans in just a few days, and her reputation went from being blacklisted by the entire network to being pitied by the entire network.
Now, any post with Chen Lai’s name will get no less than five digits of likes.
Wu Qi simply gave her hat and mask to Shen Lai. After all, she was just in the music industry and there wouldn't be paparazzi following her.
The two entered the mall, and as they were walking, Wu Qi suddenly said, "By the way, did you hear that Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling were reported to have divorced a while ago?"
Shen Lai had never heard of this incident. She never paid attention to news on Weibo and asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"
"The day after our variety show stopped filming, the news broke and it became a hot topic that night." Wu Qi said with emotion: "It turns out that they have been divorced for a year, and they kept it secret to maintain their online image."
No wonder Chen Lai always felt that the relationship between the two was a little strange on the show. It turned out that they had been having a disagreement for a long time.
Shen Lai asked in confusion: "If they had divorced a long time ago, why hadn't they found out about it before?"
Wu Qi shrugged, "I don't know either. Maybe because I became famous on the show, more people are revealing the information."
Shen Lai felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he continued to ask, "And then?"
"Then the two had no choice but to come out and admit that they had divorced a long time ago and publicly apologize."
But netizens don't buy this statement at all. The two of them originally participated in "Rumors Stop on the Journey" as a couple. Isn't this equivalent to deceiving fans?
As a result, the comment sections of both of them were flooded with comments, and people scolded them to quit the entertainment industry.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lai felt a little guilty. Didn't she and Pei Jingyan also deceive their fans?
Because even though they got the marriage certificate, they were not real husband and wife.
The two of them were strolling around when, at that moment, Wu Qi seemed to see something and exclaimed, "Isn't that Mr. Pei?"
Shen Lai looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, he saw Pei Jingyan sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-end restaurant. The dim light outlined his perfect figure, and the candlelight reflected on his deep and straight brows.
Just opposite Pei Jingyan sat a tall and beautiful woman. The two of them were talking and laughing, and seemed to have a very close relationship.
