Chapter 228 Marry First, Love Later②

With a "pop", the wine glass in front of Shen Zhiyi was knocked over. She ignored it and stared at Qin Xiaoran blankly, shocked and confused, "Who?"

"Your husband," Qin Xiaoran thought the scene was hilarious, "My brother Pei Yu!"

Shen Zhiyi's hands trembled for a long time, and he raised his head and looked in that direction again, "He returned to China?"

"You don't even know how I know this," Qin Xiaoran said, "Maybe he just got back."

She smiled and said, "Why don't you go say hello and go home together."

"No," Shen Zhiyi felt a little flustered. To be honest, she was not ready to meet this strange husband. Pei Yu was always cold and made her feel uncomfortable. "I'll stay at your place today."

"You two are really good," Qin Xiaoran said without further ado, and stood up to pay the bill, "Let's go."

Shen Zhiyi has known Qin Xiaoran for more than ten years and knows that she is an unreliable person, but she is stupid and believes her words every time. A few minutes later, when she is recognized by fans at the door of the bar and attracts onlookers, she regrets being fooled by Qin Xiaoran for the umpteenth time.

The box was opened from the beginning!
It was a few young girls who recognized her and screamed in surprise. People all around looked at her at once. Shen Zhiyi felt something was not good. She controlled her expression while cooperating with them to take pictures, and silently prayed in her heart that she could leave here safely.

The fans took the pictures and left without disturbing her anymore. Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around when she heard a teasing laugh from behind her.

"Hey, Brother Pei, isn't this your wife?"

Shen Zhiyi's eyes turned dark immediately.

The crowd moved away and Qin Fang walked over leisurely, next to him was Pei Yu who was wearing a neat suit. He looked so meticulous even when he came to the bar, and didn't look like he was here to relax at all.

The light at the door was bright, and Shen Zhiyi was able to see his face clearly.

The last time we met seemed to be a year ago. He has not changed much since then. His eyebrows and eyes are dark, his eyelashes are long, and there is always a bit of coldness when he looks down at people. His thin lips are habitually pursed, and he looks very difficult to approach.

It is a very good-looking, yet very cold face.

He walked forward, his eyes casually sweeping over Shen Zhiyi without stopping, as if he didn't know Shen Zhiyi at all.

Her slightly restless heart suddenly calmed down.

Why should she be nervous? She didn't recognize this person, and this person probably didn't even remember what she looked like.

Shen Zhiyi smiled faintly, "Qin Fang, long time no see."

Then he looked at Pei Yu and asked, "When did you return home?"

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were cold and no emotion could be seen.

"This afternoon."

Shen Zhiyi nodded, feeling a little annoyed that he didn't tell her about this.

"I called you," Pei Yu said indifferently, "but you didn't answer."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned.

She took out her phone and looked at it, "I don't know, when did you call?"

She looked through the missed calls and said, "Oh, I was filming at the time and my assistant had the phone. She didn't tell me that I had missed a call."

Because she didn't leave a note for Pei Yu's cell phone number, the assistant probably looked at the phone number and ignored it because it was an unfamiliar call.

Pei Yu looked at her for a while and said nothing.

It was a bit awkward to stand there like that, so they all walked out of the bar and watched the valet drive their car over.

Pei Yu's car was a new Rolls-Royce. He opened the back door and glanced at Shen Zhiyi who was flirting with Qin Xiaoran. "Aren't you going home?" Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat. She met his dark eyes and wanted to say that she would not go home tonight, but she felt that she could not avoid it, so she just walked over and said softly, "I'm going home."

There was a faint scent of incense in the car, but Shen Zhiyi was close to Pei Yu and could only smell the faint agarwood on him. This man had just come out of the bar, but his scent was still clean.

"Have you been drinking?" Pei Yu suddenly asked.

Shen Zhiyi was not used to chatting with him, so she grabbed the hem of her skirt and said "hmm".

"You didn't drink?"

"I have a headache," Pei Yu said calmly, "I don't want to drink."

Shen Zhiyi looked over with some confusion, "Why do you have a headache? Do you want to call a doctor?"

Her eyes were bright and gentle, and when she focused on someone, it gave people the illusion that they were cherished by her. Pei Yu pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "No, I didn't get enough rest."

Shen Zhiyi didn't know much about him, only that he was very busy at work, so he asked, "Is it because of work? Are you still as busy as before?"

Her question sounded too much like concern, as if she didn't want Pei Yu to be too busy or tired. Pei Yu was silent for a few seconds and told her, "No, no, I'm not that busy now."

Shen Zhiyi immediately realized that the time they spent together would be greatly increased. She felt complicated and said "oh" dryly, without saying what Pei Yu wanted to hear.

He didn't even say anything he didn't want to hear.

Neither of them spoke again.

The car drove back to Huating. Shen Zhiyi was glad that she had moved in yesterday, otherwise it would be embarrassing to have no things of hers in the new house.

The housekeeper hadn't slept yet. She was a little surprised to see Shen Zhiyi and Pei Yu coming back together. After asking them if there was anything she needed to do, she left.

Shen Zhiyi took off her high heels, walked barefoot on the carpet, and was in a daze for a long time.

She wondered how she would sleep tonight.

When they got married, Shen Zhiyi had just taken on a movie directed by a big director and was extremely busy. She even had to find time to hold the wedding. Pei Yu was not much better off. He had just been in a minor car accident and was said to have injured his chest. In short, for various reasons, they did nothing during the days of their marriage.

But now...

Shen Zhiyi went upstairs slowly. Her things were packed into the master bedroom. There was a slight sound of water in the bathroom. After she took out her clothes, Pei Yu also opened the bathroom door.

He was shirtless, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. His exposed skin glowed a cool white under the light, his muscles were beautiful yet not exaggerated, and every aspect of his appearance met Shen Zhiyi's aesthetic standards.

Shen Zhiyi subconsciously lowered his head and avoided this scene.

Pei Yu came over and saw her standing still, and asked casually, "Aren't you going to wash?"

Shen Zhiyi's cheeks felt inexplicably hot and she went into the bathroom with her bathrobe.

She lingered in the bathroom for a long time, not knowing what would happen next, and felt extremely nervous. When she couldn't stand it any longer and walked out, she was surprised to find that Pei Yu had fallen asleep.

The bed was very big, and Shen Zhiyi slept on the other side, feeling that his luck tonight was not too bad.

When she was about to fall asleep, she felt the bed move, and a strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

The agarwood smell is stronger.

She was so sleepy that she realized Pei Yu didn't make any other moves, so she let down her guard.

He smells nice.
