Chapter 172 Is there anything else you are hiding from me?

The temperature in the room was very high. Shen Zhiyi felt hot after crying for a while, so she changed into the nightgown she brought with her. After washing up, Pei Yu carried her out of the bathroom.

She was a little tired from crying, and lay on Pei Yu's shoulder, not wanting to move, but not sleepy either. She looked at his slightly blurry shadow under the night light with soft eyes.

Pei Yu lay with her, gently stroking her cheek with his palm. There were scars on his palms and his skin was uneven, which made Shen Zhiyi feel itchy, so she grabbed his hand and played with his fingers.

Because she had just cried, her voice was still a little hoarse, "Are you hiding anything from me?"

Pei Yu is a thoughtful person who always thinks about all sorts of things, so he hides many things from her that he shouldn't. Although Shen Zhiyi is not angry, she doesn't want him to keep those secrets alone.

"No," Pei Yu answered quickly, as if he had never thought of confessing anything else to Shen Zhiyi, until he raised his eyes and met Shen Zhiyi's quiet gaze. After a slight pause, he smiled silently, "Yes, there is one thing."

"I knew it," Shen Zhiyi glared at him. This man was really too much. If she didn't ask him, he would definitely not tell her. It would take a long time for her to find out. "Hurry up and tell me."

She wanted to force the question, so she simply pressed her upper body on him and pinched his earlobe hard, "What are you hiding from me?"

Pei Yu laughed a few times, allowed her to punish him, and said slowly, "Remember I asked you, are you sure it was Huo Heng who saved you?"

Mentioning Huo Heng in this situation was different from every time before. Shen Zhiyi was stunned and seemed unable to recover.

"You..." She couldn't believe it. "Are you saying Huo Heng lied to me? Are you the one who saved me?"

She had hit her head at that time, and not only was her head dizzy, but her vision was also blurred. She only saw a blurry figure before she passed out. Because the person she saw when she woke up was Huo Heng, she naturally thought that he was the one who saved her, and never thought of any other possibilities. Huo Heng also admitted it at that time.

Pei Yu smiled silently, agreeing with her guess.

Shen Zhiyi was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up from the bed and asked, "Do you have Huo Heng's phone number?"

"What?" Pei Yu was surprised and pulled down her nightgown that had rubbed against her legs. "Why do you suddenly want to look for him?"

Shen Zhiyi sneered, "He kept it a secret from me for so long, of course I have to ask him."

Pei Yu was silent for a moment. Of course he could find Huo Heng's contact information. Not only that, he knew exactly where Huo Heng lived and what he was doing, ensuring that he would never be able to return home.

But now that Shen Zhiyi wants to find him, Pei Yu is not very willing.

No matter what the reason was, he didn't want Shen Zhiyi to have anything to do with Huo Heng anymore.

"You know, right?" Shen Zhiyi threw herself into his arms and looked up at him, "You definitely know."

"Yes, I know." Pei Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her. After a while, he finally compromised and asked Secretary Qin to send Huo Heng's current contact information.

Secretary Qin was very quick and sent the cell phone number after a while.

"So he's in the United States too," Shen Zhiyi called using Pei Yu's cell phone.

Because it was late at night, the first call was not answered. Pei Yu thought Shen Zhiyi would give up, but she quickly called a second time.

He waited by the side with an expressionless face.

It was almost dawn and Huo Heng was sleeping soundly. He had been busy with social engagements these days, hoping that someone would arrange for him to have opportunities to perform abroad. Since he couldn't make it in China, he wanted to expand his overseas market, but he was repeatedly frustrated, so he had to spend his days drinking.

His phone kept ringing, and he was worried that it was a producer contacting him, so he picked up the phone the second time it rang.

The female voice over there sounded familiar and cold.

"Huo Heng."

Huo Heng subconsciously glanced at the screen. He felt like he was dreaming. He thought he would never hear Shen Zhiyi's voice again in his life. He was touched and even expectant. He thought Shen Zhiyi called him to forgive him.

"Knowing the meaning——"

After confirming that the other party was Huo Heng, Shen Zhiyi didn't waste any more words.

"Were you really the one who saved me? Huo Heng, did you really get a wound on your waist because of me?"

Huo Heng was stunned for a moment, "Zhiyi, I——"

"You son of a bitch," Shen Zhiyi said coldly, "Huo Heng, you are such a bastard. You have lied to me about this for so many years. I only now realize that you are such a hypocritical person."

She called just to scold him, and then hung up the phone and added him to the blacklist.

The call lasted less than five minutes in total, and Huo Heng didn't have time to say anything except being scolded.

"Here you go," Shen Zhiyi returned the phone to Pei Yu, his face expressionless with anger.

"He hid such a big thing from me, and you are hiding it from me too?"

Although she grew up with Huo Heng, Shen Zhiyi truly regarded him as a family member from the moment he saved her. She never thought that anyone could stand in her way, so when she knew that Huo Heng became the one who protected her, she decided to treat him well for the rest of her life.

If this incident had not happened, how could she be willing to be used by Huo Heng? Most of what she did was to repay a favor.

"I was wrong." Pei Yu saw that she was really angry, and did not say a word of defense, but just admitted his mistake, "Don't be angry."

There was a faint smile in his eyes, "It turns out that our Zhizhi can also curse."

If it was just to scold Huo Heng, then Pei Yu felt that the phone call just now was not a big deal.

"It's no use scolding him," Shen Zhiyi was unhappy, "I've already been deceived."

She felt very uncomfortable when she thought about how she had mistaken Pei Yu's credit for Huo Heng's and had been devoted to him for so many years.

"You don't even know how to take credit for your own work," Shen Zhiyi bit Pei Yu's lower lip, "You're so stupid."

No one has ever called Pei Yu stupid in his life. He just laughed and didn't refute.

Shen Zhiyi was angry for a while, but felt sorry for Pei Yu, so she picked up his injured hand and looked at it carefully.

"You came back with an allergic reaction and were injured, and your father beat you," Shen Zhiyi's voice got lower and lower as she spoke, kissing the palm of his hand, "Pei Yu was so pitiful."

Unfortunately, all the credit was taken away from him and he was completely forgotten by her, so Pei Yu got nothing.

"It doesn't matter." Pei Yu closed his palms. He never regretted anything he had done. "Even if it wasn't because of you, my relationship with my father wouldn't be much better."

Pei's father's attitude towards him has always been strange, as if he respects him very much, but also seems to hate him very much. Pei Yu always feels that if he does not gain the upper hand, he will never hand over the Pei family to him intact.

"He's not a good father," Shen Zhiyi thought of himself when he said this and smiled, "Neither of us has a decent father."

Pei Yu looked at her quietly for a while, then lowered his eyes and kissed her lips.

"It's ok."

They still have each other.
