Chapter 96: Writing about our relationship online
Shen Lai stopped suddenly.
Isn’t this woman the one who was photographed by the paparazzi with Pei Jingyan that day?
The woman had a wild and charming face, and her facial features were enough to captivate everyone. She was even more impactful than when she had seen her from afar that night.
Hearing footsteps at the stairs, Pei Jingyan looked up and saw Chen Lai standing there. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Awake?"
Shen Lai came back to his senses and walked down the stairs, "Yeah."
Pei Jingyan leaned lazily on the sofa, "Don't you have any announcements today? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Shen Lai curled his lips and said, "I've slept for almost ten hours. Do you think I'm a pig?"
There was a hint of sleepiness in her voice, and Pei Jingyan curled his lips and smiled meaningfully.
At this moment, a female voice interrupted, "Jing Yan, who is this?"
Seeing Yi Xingyu's eyes wandering between the two of them, Pei Jingyan put his arm around Chen Lai's waist and said naturally, "This is my love."
Yi Xingyu's expression was stiff for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and extended her hand towards Shen Lai. "Hello, I'm Jing Yan's friend, my name is Yi Xingyu."
Chen Lai glanced at Pei Jingyan and shook hands with Yi Xingyu. "Hello, I'm Chen Lai, Pei Jingyan's...wife."
When he heard the word "wife", a hint of amusement flashed in Pei Jingyan's eyes.
Yi Xingyu looked at Shen Lai calmly and smiled, "So you are Jing Yan's wife. I've seen reports about you online before."
She was probably talking about the news about her marriage to Pei Jingyan.
Shen Lai responded with a smile.
"This is the friend I told you about who came back from abroad." Pei Jingyan said calmly: "We went to the same university before."
So that's how it is.
Shen Lai thought, no wonder they knew each other.
Yi Xingyu seemed to be half joking, "Have you mentioned me to your lover?"
Pei Jingyan said lightly, "This isn't some random online post about our relationship. I'm worried my lover might misunderstand me, so of course I have to explain."
Hearing this, Yi Xingyu's smile froze slightly.
At this time, Butler Sun came over and said, "Boss Pei, breakfast is ready."
Pei Jingyan hummed and said to Yi Xingyu, "Want to eat together?"
Yi Xingyu looked at Chen Lai deeply and smiled softly, "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
The restaurant was filled with fragrance, and the crisp sound of knives and forks colliding could be heard from time to time.
At this moment, Yi Xingyu suddenly picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in Pei Jingyan's bowl, "Jingyan, I remember you like this the most."
Seeing this, Shen Lai paused imperceptibly.
She looked up at Yi Xingyu and felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Who in their right mind would do something like picking up food for someone when he has a wife?
Pei Jingyan acted as if nothing had happened, his tone unchanged, "When did I start liking this?"
Yi Xingyu seemed to be surprised that Pei Jingyan would say this. She was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you like eating this when you were abroad?"
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows. "You also said that it was abroad. Now I don't like eating it anymore."
After saying that, he picked up the shrimp dumplings that Yi Xingyu had picked up and put them into Shen Lai's bowl. "Don't you like to eat this? Eat it."
Seeing Chen Lai looking up at him doubtfully, Pei Jingyan said lazily, "You fought with me for the shrimp dumplings from Qinghuizhai that year, have you forgotten?"
That was several years ago. One time, Shen Lai heard that there was a restaurant that sold delicious shrimp dumplings, and the number of servings was limited to fifty per day, so he went there with his friends.
As a result, I ran into Pei Jingyan there who was also there to buy afternoon tea.
As luck would have it, there was only one basket of shrimp dumplings left, and the two of them started fighting over it.
Chen Lai didn't expect Pei Jingyan to still remember this incident. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "It was so long ago. You really hold a grudge, don't you?"
Pei Jingyan's tone was long, "It can't be helped. The last basket of shrimp dumplings was snatched away by someone."
As he said this, he looked at Shen Lai meaningfully.
Shen Lai refused to admit it, "It was obviously my first come first served."
Pei Jingyan chuckled, "Yes, someone bit my hand directly, and the mark took several weeks to disappear."
Hearing this, Chen Lai felt a little guilty. She didn't look at Pei Jingyan again. She picked up the shrimp dumpling and took a bite, and her mouth felt sweet.
Pei Jingyan tapped his fingertips on the table. "How does it taste?"
"It's okay." Shen Lai said tactfully, "It's just not as good as Qinghuizhai's."
Pei Jingyan said slowly, "Then I'll take you there to eat next time."
Speaking of which, Chen Lai hadn't been to Qinghuizhai for a long time, and he missed the taste of the food there. He said generously, "Okay, I'll treat you."
Pei Jingyan teased, "You have money?"
Shen Lai said angrily: "I am also a celebrity, okay? I can still afford to treat you to a meal."
Pei Jingyan curled his lips, "Really? Then I won't be polite then."
Yi Xingyu, who was sitting opposite, watched this scene and unconsciously clenched her hands under the table.
"By the way, the hospital sent a message yesterday saying that the prenatal checkup is coming," Pei Jingyan said, "I'll go with you later."
Shen Lai couldn't help but said, "You don't have to go to the company?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly, "How can work be more important than accompanying you for the prenatal checkup?"
Under normal circumstances, Shen Lai would definitely refuse, but today Yi Xingyu was here, and she inexplicably didn't want to refuse, so she cooperated and said, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Xingyu on the opposite side suddenly put down the fork in his hand, and it hit the edge of the plate with a crisp sound.
Pei Jingyan and Shen Lai looked up at her at the same time.
Yi Xingyu stood up, her face expressionless. "Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't have breakfast with you."
Pei Jingyan nodded slightly, with no intention of trying to persuade him to stay. "Then I'll let Butler Sun take you there."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lai again and tapped the table, “Don’t eat yet, you’ll be late for the hospital later.”
Shen Lai was a little dissatisfied with his urging, "Aren't I eating?"
Yi Xingyu standing here seemed like air. She clenched the bag strap in her hand and strode out of the villa.
Looking at her leaving back, Shen Lai seemed to be thinking about something. He turned his head to look at Pei Jingyan, "Is she interested in you?"
Pei Jingyan ate his breakfast slowly. "What does it have to do with me if she's interested in me? I'm not interested in her."
Hearing Pei Jingyan say it so bluntly, Shen Lai's heart felt as sweet as if it were wrapped in a piece of honey.
After breakfast, Pei Jingyan accompanied Chen Lai to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, and then went to visit Chang Suning.
Seeing the two of them appear together, Chang Suning finally felt relieved.
She joked, "A few days ago, I saw Lai Lai come to the hospital to see me alone. He was quite absent-minded. I thought you two had a fight."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Lai.
Shen Lai was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Mom, I told you that we didn't quarrel, you thought too much."
Chang Suning snorted coldly, "You look like you've lost your soul. Who knows if you've had a conflict with Jing Yan?"
