Chapter 88 When did you get the certificate?
When the soft touch touched his cheek, Pei Jingyan stiffened imperceptibly.
Shen Lai quickly distanced himself from the two of them, his expression somewhat unnatural, but he still managed to hold on and not lose the upper hand. "Are you satisfied with this?"
Pei Jingyan raised his hand and touched the place where Chen Lai had just kissed him, as if he could still feel the remaining soft touch, and his eyes were filled with ambiguous meaning.
The atmosphere seemed to be filled with a hint of ambiguity. At this moment, the assistant came out of the tent and said to Pei Jingyan, "Boss Pei, you and Miss Shen have packed your things."
Shen Lai was feeling awkward, and upon hearing this, he took the initiative to respond: "Since you have packed it, let's go quickly."
After saying that, without waiting for Pei Jingyan to speak, he quickly turned around and walked outside.
Looking at her fleeing back and her red ears exposed by her hair blown by the wind, Pei Jingyan raised the corners of his lips slightly. He put his hands in his pockets and followed Shen Lai in a casual manner.
The boat arranged by the program team has arrived. Pei Jingyan and Shen Lai are the only ones who have a speedboat, so they will not go back with them.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Shen Lai was about to go to bed when she saw Huo Chilin standing on the boat looking at her.
"Miss Shen, why aren't you getting on board yet?" Pei Jingyan's voice suddenly interrupted.
Pei Jingyan stood on the speedboat, the sea breeze blowing his hair. He stretched out his hand towards Chen Lai, raising his chin slightly.
Shen Lai's eyes fell on Pei Jingyan's hand. After a moment of silence, she put her hand on it.
Huo Chilin, who was far away, saw this scene and his eyes dimmed completely.
On the way back, Shen Lai felt the coolness brought by the sea breeze and closed his eyes comfortably to enjoy it.
At this time, Shen Lai's cell phone rang. She opened her eyes, glanced down at the text message: I will always wait for you.
Shen Lai could even imagine Huo Chilin's expression when he sent this text message.
Unfortunately it's too late.
Some things are wrong and they are wrong. Even if you regret it, you can't make up for it.
It was already night when we returned to the villa. The sky was shrouded in darkness, and the stars in the distance looked like lanterns pierced through the sky.
Perhaps it was because he had stayed on the island for too many days, and suddenly returning to such a comfortable environment, Shen Lai felt relaxed all over.
It’s really more comfortable at home.
Home...Chen Lai suddenly started awake, woke up, and shook his head vigorously.
This is Pei Jingyan's home, not hers.
At most, she was just staying here temporarily.
Thinking of this, Shen Lai hurriedly carried her luggage back to the room. Looking at the empty big bed, she suddenly realized an important problem.
Does that mean she and Pei Jingyan will have to sleep separately again tonight?
Shen Lai lowered his eyes slightly, then clenched his fists.
It would be better if Pei Jingyan didn’t sleep with her, so no one would snatch her quilt away.
Shen Lai shook off those messy thoughts and began to pack his luggage.
That night, the news of Bai Hansui's arrest made the news and became known to everyone.
Within half a day, Huo Chilin posted a Weibo post announcing his breakup with Bai Hansui, saying that Bai Hansui had deceived him in a relationship for a long time and had done bad things that hurt others, so the two decided to separate.
Not long after, Bai Hansui's agency also announced the termination of the contract with Bai Hansui.
For a time, Bai Hansui became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
Chen Lai looked at the comments online and wondered if Bai Hansui would regret taking part in these two variety shows, otherwise she wouldn't have revealed her true identity.
After finally having some time to rest, Shen Lai went to the hospital to see her mother early the next morning.
"Mom, I'm here!" Shen Lai shouted happily as soon as he entered the door.
Chang Suning turned her head and looked at her with a complicated look, but said nothing.
Seeing that her expression was not right, Shen Lai came to the bed and sat down, wondering: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?"
Chang Suning's face was solemn. "Lai Lai, why didn't you tell me about your marriage to Pei Jingyan?"
Shen Lai's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Chang Suning's serious expression, she forced a smile and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Chang Suning said in a serious tone, "I've seen it on TV, are you still trying to hide it from me?"
This morning, when Chang Suning turned on the TV, she happened to see the news about Bai Hansui being arrested. That's why she learned that Chen Lai and Pei Jingyan appeared on a variety show as a couple.
Shen Lai's throat rolled, not knowing how to start.
Chang Suning said seriously: "When did you get the certificate?"
Shen Lai bit her lip. Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, she had to say, "One, more than a month ago."
"You've been married for so long, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chang Suning frowned. "Besides, haven't you and him always been at odds? How did you end up together?"
Before Shen Lai could say anything, Chang Suning added in a heavy tone, "Did you marry him because of me?"
No wonder she felt something was wrong between the two of them last time. Pei Jingyan was a big boss, so why would he condescend to send Chen Lai to the hospital?
Shen Lai quickly said: "Of course not, Mom, what are you thinking about!"
Chang Suning was skeptical, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Chen Lai didn't dare to tell the truth. Given her mother's personality, if she knew that her medical expenses were paid by Pei Jingyan, she would definitely not continue to receive treatment.
She didn't want to make her mother feel guilty.
"I didn't get along with him, but that was when we were kids. Actually, our relationship isn't that bad now." Shen Lai couldn't say she married Pei Jingyan just for her mother's medical expenses and her future, so she could only make up an excuse, "Besides, I got into some trouble at the hotel before, and it was Pei Jingyan who saved me."
Chang Suning looked at Shen Lai. Her expression didn't look like she was lying, and it finally softened a bit. "When did you two get together?"
Shen Lai hesitated for a moment, "Half a year ago."
That was the day Pei Jingyan returned to China, and she would not let her mother get suspicious by saying that.
Chang Suning couldn't help but sigh, "Even so, you should discuss with me, how can you just marry him?"
Shen Lai held her mother's hand in return, "Aren't you in poor health? I don't want to make you worry, right?"
Chang Suning said earnestly, "Mom is just worried that you'll be wronged. Our family is no longer as prosperous as it was before. Can the Shen family accept you?"
Shen Lai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, my parents are very satisfied with me, and Pei Jingyan is here, he won't let me suffer any grievances."
She was not lying. Although Pei Jingyan's words were a bit harsh, every time she encountered any trouble, it was Pei Jingyan who stepped forward to solve it.
After much persuasion, her mother finally accepted the fact that the two were together, but she was still worried that Pei Jingyan would treat Shen Lai badly.
After all, the Pei family is not an ordinary family.
"Bring Pei Jingyan here when you have time." Chang Suning instructed, "I need to talk to him, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."
Shen Lai tucked the quilt for her and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll bring him to visit you next time."
They talked about some interesting things that happened during this period. After Chang Suning calmed down and he watched her fall asleep with his own eyes, Shen Lai quietly left the hospital.
Coming out of the gate, Shen Lai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he was back in his childhood when his teacher suddenly checked his homework.
Just then, the cell phone in Shen Lai's pocket rang.
She took out her cell phone and Pei Jingyan's caller ID flashed on the screen.
Shen Lai picked up the phone casually.
"Where?" Pei Jingyan's low voice came from the other end of the phone.
Shen Lai glanced at the building above his head and said, "I'm in the hospital and I'm about to take a taxi back."
"Did you go see your mother?"
"Um."
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I happened to be passing by there, I'll pick you up on the way back, wait for me."
