Chapter 229 Marry first, love later③

Shen Zhiyi had a schedule in the morning. When she got up, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast. Pei Yu was still there, sitting at the dining table watching the financial channel.

She ate breakfast quietly and found that Pei Yu seemed to have finished eating, but had not left. She believed his words "I'm not busy now" a little more in her heart.

Pei Yu suddenly asked, "Where is the ring?"

Shen Zhiyi looked up in a daze, then lowered his eyes and looked at her right hand holding the spoon. Her fingers were bare and she was not wearing a wedding ring.

Only then did she realize that Pei Yu had been wearing his wedding ring on his hand since they met last night.

She felt a little guilty for no reason. She licked her lips and said, "In the safe. It's inconvenient for me to wear it when I'm filming."

The wedding ring was prepared by Pei Yu, and her ring was inlaid with a very rare pink diamond.

Shen Zhiyi explained further, "I'm afraid of losing it."

"Are you afraid of losing it?" Pei Yu looked away and said calmly, "Or are you afraid of people knowing that you are married?"

His tone was flat and emotionless, but it sounded like a thorn to Shen Zhiyi, who couldn't help but frown.

"I don't like to make my private life public, and I'm not hiding it on purpose," Shen Zhiyi felt strange, "Are you blaming me?"

Does it have any impact on him whether it is made public or not?

"No," Pei Yu also frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and paused before saying, "That's not what I meant."

Although he said that, his expression showed that he was unhappy, as if he was blaming her.

Shen Zhiyi didn't know how to get along with him in the first place, and when she saw him giving her the cold shoulder, she felt a little down.

She lost her appetite. "I'm leaving. I have work tonight and won't be back to stay."

Assistant Xiao Dong drove to pick her up and asked mysteriously, "I saw an extra car in the garage. Is your boyfriend back?"

Shen Zhiyi really didn't hide it on purpose. Her close friends all knew that she was married. She nodded, looking a little cold.

Xiao Dong noticed it and asked in confusion, "Why do you look like that? Did you have a fight with him?"

"We didn't quarrel," Shen Zhiyi held up her face, "He seemed to blame me for not telling the public that I was married."

"Ah?" Xiao Dong was confused.

Shen Zhiyi entered the entertainment industry as an actor when she just started college. Over the years, no one even knows what her family background is or whether she has any brothers or sisters. She never shares her private life and doesn't think it's necessary.

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Sister, did your brother-in-law see the scandal between you and Huo Heng?"

That's why I brought up the matter of publicly announcing my marriage.

Shen Zhiyi didn't even think about it, "Impossible, he doesn't pay attention to gossip news."

Pei Yu has been involved in company affairs with his father since he was fifteen years old. He is not like an ordinary teenager at all. He never reads the gossip and scandals that ordinary people are interested in. Shen Zhiyi feels that he has no idea what he is busy with.

"Okay," Xiao Dong also made a random guess, "but on the red carpet tonight, there may be reporters who want to ask about this. Huo Heng hasn't responded yet, and everyone thinks you two are having an affair."

Shen Zhiyi was even more unhappy. "I only filmed one movie with him, and we had very few scenes together. How could there be a chance for us to have an affair?"

This news is too outrageous.

"There are paparazzi who took photos of you guys staying in the same hotel frequently, and they also said Huo Heng looked at you with deep affection," Xiao Dong was very thorough in his understanding of the gossip, "Just looking at the photos, it seems to be true."

Shen Zhiyi was speechless, affectionate? Huo Heng looked at everyone like that, he had hyped up so many actresses.

After a day of filming, they went to do their makeup in the afternoon to attend the red carpet show in the evening. Huo Heng was also there, and he deliberately got in front of Shen Zhiyi, but she ignored him.

Just as Xiao Dong said, Shen Zhiyi was asked about the scandal by several reporters during an interview.

"My studio has clarified it," Shen Zhiyi said seriously. The reporter smiled and said, "But you haven't responded yet. Are you hiding your relationship with Huo Heng because you're afraid it will affect your career, or is it because the company doesn't allow you to date?"

Shen Zhiyi wanted to laugh. Her family held shares in the company. How could they interfere with her? She had done nothing but acting since her debut. How could a relationship affect her career?

"You really want to know?"

The reporters nodded repeatedly.

Shen Zhiyi thought of Pei Yu's words that sounded like a complaint in the morning and Xiao Dong's unreliable guess, and smiled at the camera, his eyes curved slightly.

"Okay, then I'll take this opportunity to explain to everyone that Huo Heng and I are just colleagues who have worked together before."

The corners of her lips curved up, "I'm already married. I have a husband."

Xiao Dong next to him was stunned for a moment and hurriedly called Wang Feifei.

The latter was silent for a long time, "Okay, I understand."

Someone who has always kept a low profile suddenly revealed that he is married, and the news became a hot topic. Fortunately, this is not a scandal, so there is no need to stop it.

But why couldn't Shen Zhiyi tell her in advance? !

After Shen Zhiyi finished the event, she was criticized by Wang Feifei.

"I didn't mean to say it before," she winked, "I just thought their questions were annoying."

"You really are," Wang Feifei sighed, "What will you do when you get divorced? No one will bless you when you get divorced. They just want to dig up the secrets and eat melons."

They all knew that Shen Zhiyi was not familiar with her husband and they might suddenly divorce one day.

Shen Zhiyi was reminded by her and felt that he was being impulsive. "We'll talk about it later."

At worst, I can just keep the divorce a secret.

It was already very late. The driver drove the car out of the underground garage. Shen Zhiyi walked out of the VIP passage but was stopped by a man who looked like an elite.

"Mrs."

Shen Zhiyi paused immediately. Not many people could call her that. "You are Pei Yu's..."

Secretary Qin smiled and said, "I am Mr. Pei's first secretary. Madam, Mr. Pei is here to take you home."

The familiar Rolls-Royce was parked not far away. Shen Zhiyi stood there without moving. "I told him that I won't be returning to Hua Ting today."

Secretary Qin looked embarrassed, but soon someone got out of the car behind.

The autumn night was cool and the man was not dressed as formally as usual. His black silk shirt draped perfectly, outlining his broad and tall figure, and his long legs under his trousers were particularly eye-catching.

Shen Zhiyi was so surprised that she didn't look away. She watched Pei Yu walking towards her step by step. His cold and pale face became blurry in the night and it was impossible to tell what his expression was.

He walked closer, the incense on his body blew over with the wind, and he stood in front of her.

"Go home and live."

The tone wasn't as cold as usual.

Shen Zhiyi felt an inexplicable stir in her heart, and she actually wanted to agree. Perhaps it was because his outfit today really suited her taste that made her feel so soft-hearted.

She hesitated and said nothing.

Pei Yu gently held her wrist and spoke even softer.

"OK?"
