Chapter 227 Marry First, Love Later①

When the scandal between Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng broke out, she was bitterly eating a tasteless vegetable salad, and she paid far less attention to the matter than to her next lunch.

Wang Feifei held the tablet in her hand and asked angrily, "Miss, did you hear me?"

"I heard it," Shen Zhiyi raised her head. She had a bright and gentle face, slightly round eyes, a straight nose, and a look of innocence and tenderness. It was obvious that she was spoiled at home, but she didn't have a temper. She advised in a gentle voice, "He probably wants to hype it up. You can ask the attention department to handle it."

"Look at the photo. It looks like you two are kissing. It's easy for you to say. It's not that easy to clarify."

"It just looks like it," Shen Zhiyi said unconcernedly, "We're not really kissing."

"Sister Feifei," she asked softly, "Can I not eat the salad? It tastes so bad."

"No," Wang Feifei said without hesitation, "You gained several pounds after participating in the last variety show. You need to lose weight quickly."

In fact, Shen Zhiyi is not fat at all, but Wang Feifei is used to managing other artists and has the same high standards for her.

Shen Zhiyi sighed.

"By the way," Wang Feifei asked casually, "Why did you move back to Hua Ting?"

"My mother asked me to do that," Shen Zhiyi held up her face, "I'll only be staying for a few days anyway. I'll move out after I've fooled my mother."

Huating is too spacious and far away, and Shen Zhiyi doesn’t really like living there.

"That seems to be your husband's house?"

Three years ago, Shen Zhiyi got married right after graduating from university, which shocked Wang Feifei. However, she only said that it was a family marriage and did not reveal any other information, so Wang Feifei knew nothing about her husband.

"Well," Shen Zhiyi said absentmindedly, "it seems like he will be returning home soon."

When talking about her husband, Shen Zhiyi sounded like she was talking about a stranger. In fact, she was not very familiar with him - although they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

That man had a very cold personality and didn't like to talk much. When Shen Zhiyi was a child, she didn't know much and always called him brother. Later, when she grew up, she didn't like to run after him anymore. She liked people with gentle personalities.

After that, they moved and went abroad to study, and the two had even fewer opportunities to meet. So when her family asked her to marry that man, she was so frightened that she had nightmares for several days. In the dreams, she was sleeping with a big ice cube in her arms and shivering with cold.

Fortunately, the other party did not take the marriage seriously and went abroad to expand his business on the third day after the marriage. His family situation was complicated and he was very busy at work, so the two hardly saw each other in three years.

There were times when they contacted each other by phone, but Shen Zhiyi felt embarrassed and always made the excuse that she was busy and rarely answered his calls.

"You have been married for three years, right? If you really don't like each other, why don't you find a way to get a divorce?" Wang Feifei couldn't help but say as she saw that she looked reluctant.

She still thinks that a marriage based on love is meaningful.

Shen Zhiyi hummed, "My parents like him very much, and he has helped my company a lot. My family will definitely not agree to a divorce."

"Why don't you just convince him?" Wang Feifei suggested to her, "I see that neither of you likes the other. You convince him and then put the blame on him. What else can your family say?"

Shen Zhiyi considered her suggestion seriously and said, "Then I'll talk to him later."

She has not thought about divorce in the past three years, mainly because they never see each other and her life has not changed. But now he is going back to his country, and it will inevitably be awkward and uncomfortable to deal with him in the future. Shen Zhiyi is a person who likes to enjoy life and only wants to associate with people who make her feel comfortable.

In the afternoon, the hot search for the scandal with Huo Heng was removed, but there were still many people discussing it, and there were even fans who wanted to support Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng. The studio refuted the rumor, but Shen Zhiyi did not respond. She was busy filming and it was late at night when she finished work. Qin Xiaoran called her to the bar.

She was wearing a hat and a mask, and looked around. "Why didn't you choose a private room? If someone took a picture of us, Sister Feifei would blame me again."

Qin Xiaoran pushed a glass of wine over and said, "Don't worry, the people here are not that boring. Besides, you're just drinking, not hooking up with anyone, so what if you get photographed?"

She spoke carelessly, which made Shen Zhiyi stunned, "You are talking so wildly now."

Qin Xiaoran laughed happily.

The two have known each other since childhood. Although they are a few years apart in age, they have a good relationship. Qin Xiaoran just came back from studying abroad and has been clamoring to meet Shen Zhiyi these two days.

"Honestly," Qin Xiaoran was already slightly tipsy and spoke without restraint, "There are so many handsome guys here, why don't you consider it?"

"I've seen a lot of handsome guys," Shen Zhiyi is in the entertainment industry, so she has seen all kinds of handsome guys, "I don't like any of them."

After looking at them for a long time, I even feel that they all look the same.

"You're really picky," Qin Xiaoran pointed in a direction, "I think the one over there is pretty good, very elite-like, you don't have that type around you, do you?"

Shen Zhiyi took a sip of his wine, looked in the direction she pointed, and gave an objective assessment, "It's OK."

"Then you go ahead," Qin Xiaoran smiled maliciously, "One time of spring breeze."

"..." Shen Zhiyi thought she was really drunk, "I'm already married, please."

Even if it is a marriage without love, it is still a marriage.

"...I forgot." Qin Xiaoran was silent for a moment, then calmed down. "Don't tell anyone about what I said."

She was terribly afraid of that guy.

"Who can I tell?" Shen Zhiyi laughed. After sitting at the bar for a while, he felt it was a bit noisy, so he looked upstairs and thought about ordering a private room.

As he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the corner of the stairs and paused slightly.

The light in the bar was very dim. The man was standing on a three-meter-high staircase, talking to someone with his head tilted to one side. Only a blurry profile was visible. The colorful neon lights swept over, illuminating his shoulders, neck and part of his chin. His skin was very white, a cold white, and the lines of his profile were particularly beautiful.

Shen Zhiyi fixed his gaze on him and looked at him in the dim light. Although his face was not clear, his figure was very clear. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His legs wrapped in his trousers were surprisingly long, and his standing posture was a little sloppy.

The best figure.

She couldn't help licking her lips and took another sip of wine, feeling as if she had seen such a perfect figure somewhere before.

Qin Xiaoran saw her strange expression and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I saw someone who suits my taste," Shen Zhiyi gestured for her to look, "If they weren't married, I'd really like to ask for their contact information."

Qin Xiaoran looked up and saw who was taking a photo. The flash light flashed for a moment in the dim staircase, instantly illuminating the other person's profile. She had seen this profile not long ago, and it looked extremely familiar and she recognized it at a glance.

Her tone became very strange, and her expression was indescribable, "Zhiyi, you can't even recognize your husband?"
