Chapter 233 Marry first, love later ⑦
When Shen Zhiyi's diet meal was replaced with a nutritious meal, Wang Feifei asked indirectly on the phone, "Has your relationship with your husband improved?"
Shen Zhiyi was silent for a while, not knowing how to describe it, so he could only say, "We can coexist peacefully."
Wang Feifei hissed and asked, "So you don't plan to divorce him?"
"...I don't think so." Shen Zhiyi hesitated as he thought about his confused statement last night. "We are fine now. I think it doesn't matter whether we get divorced or not."
"But you two don't have feelings for each other," Wang Feifei was only thinking about her and didn't agree with her mentality of just getting by. "When you meet someone you like, it will be too late to divorce."
Shen Zhiyi laughed, "You're thinking too far ahead. What if I never meet someone I like in my whole life?"
It's not like she hasn't been pursued by someone in the past twenty years, but no matter what kind of suitor she met, she was always uninterested and never felt moved.
Some people just never meet someone who makes their heart beat faster in their entire life.
Wang Feifei was quiet on the other end, and her voice became softer. She asked hesitantly, "But, what if your husband meets someone he likes? Will you wait until then to consider divorce?"
Shen Zhiyi suddenly fell silent.
She unconsciously began to imagine what kind of person Pei Yu would like. He was a cold person with a bad temper and was picky. If he had someone he really liked, would he treat that person like this? Would he change?
After thinking for just a few seconds, Shen Zhiyi didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Let's talk about it later." She ended the topic.
There was a live broadcast event in the afternoon to promote the drama. Shen Zhiyi started the live broadcast in the lounge of the set. During the few minutes she waited for fans to come in, many comments came out, almost all of which were concerned about her private life.
She has previously responded to several fans in the comments section of Weibo, so all of her fans know that her marriage partner is someone in the same industry, and they know nothing else, so they are quite curious about it.
Shen Zhiyi did not answer any questions and focused on cooperating with the crew in promoting the drama. Gradually, fans stopped mentioning the fact that she was married.
She was a little absent-minded, and wanted to call Xiao Dong in after the drama promotion was over, but the person who pushed open the door of the lounge was a friend of hers in the circle, who happened to be filming in the crew next door and came to visit the set.
"Zhiyi," she had just returned from shooting a magazine abroad and only then knew that Shen Zhiyi had revealed the news of her marriage. As soon as she came in, she asked, "Why did you announce your marriage? Aren't you already planning to divorce?"
Shen Zhiyi opened her mouth but before she could say anything, the door was pushed open again, and this time it was Xiao Dong who came in.
"Sister," Xiao Dong said in horror, "You didn't turn off the live broadcast."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, "I turned it off..."
I don’t know if she didn’t close it properly or if it was a problem with the live streaming software, but the live streaming room was not closed just now, and many fans had not logged out, so now it’s become a huge deal.
The whole afternoon was very chaotic. Shen Zhiyi sent away the bewildered friend and stayed in the car listening to Wang Feifei's lecture.
"Have you thought about how to clarify?" Wang Feifei was in a state of panic. "Think about it carefully. If you say you won't divorce this time, then this statement will definitely be used to slap you in the face when you divorce. If you say you are indeed considering divorce, you have to discuss it with your spouse."
Shen Zhiyi almost immediately wanted to say that she would not divorce, but then she thought of Wang Feifei's words. She didn't want to divorce, but Pei Yu...if he had someone he liked, he would divorce her sooner or later.
She hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was not a decision she could make alone, "Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"
Wang Feifei sighed, "Okay." Public opinion continued to ferment. In addition to the increasingly intense rumors that Shen Zhiyi was facing a marriage crisis, there were also so-called insiders who revealed that her marriage with the man was purely a conflict of interests and had no emotional foundation, so the divorce was understandable. At this juncture, some people began to dig up old accounts, believing that the scandal between Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng was not groundless, saying that she and her husband were playing with each other, and Huo Heng was her extramarital lover.
This news spread all over the Internet, but Shen Zhiyi did not pay attention to it. She finished work late that day and waited for a while after returning to Huating before Pei Yu came.
I don’t know if he has seen the news on the Internet. I can’t tell anything from his expression. He still has a cold face. After looking at Shen Zhiyi, he was about to go upstairs.
Shen Zhiyi quickly stood up and said, "Pei Yu, I have something to discuss with you."
She had to get a word of affirmation from him before she could suppress the divorce rumor.
Pei Yu did not look back, but paused for a moment, then quickly started walking again, saying in a calm tone, "I'm very busy, we'll talk later if you have anything else."
Shen Zhiyi stood there for a moment, not understanding when the "later" he mentioned would be.
Pei Yu did not sleep in the master bedroom that night. Shen Zhiyi waited for him for a long time but he didn't come back. The light in the study was on all night.
Maybe he is really too busy.
Shen Zhiyi did not sleep well that night and woke up very early the next day. When she went downstairs in a daze, she happened to see Pei Yu standing in the living room, neatly dressed, and Secretary Qin holding his suitcase, and the two were walking towards the door.
"Pei Yu!"
She hurried down the stairs, confused and surprised, "Where are you going?"
Pei Yu looked down at the watch on his hand and said calmly, "On a business trip."
"Then when will you come back?" Shen Zhiyi didn't know why she asked, but she really wanted to know.
"Not necessarily," Pei Yu didn't say much. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and it was unknown whether he was worried about work.
Even his profile turned cold and he turned back into the person who was difficult to approach, which made Shen Zhiyi speechless. She had no choice but to nod, say okay, and stop talking.
Pei Yu left.
Not long after, Shen Zhiyi received another call from Wang Feifei, asking her if she had reached an agreement.
Not to mention discussing it, Shen Zhiyi didn't even have a chance to speak. Seeing that Pei Yu was so busy, she didn't feel comfortable bothering him with such a thing.
"No," Shen Zhiyi said, "Don't clarify the public relations, just say that you won't respond to my private life."
Wang Feifei had no objection, but she still added, "It's okay if you don't explain, but you have to think it through yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhiyi looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.
To be honest, she herself couldn't figure it out clearly. She felt that these things were too annoying. Pei Yu was not in the country now anyway, so she simply stopped thinking about it, put it behind her and concentrated on her work.
But after returning to Huating and looking at the empty bedroom, my mood always becomes inexplicably depressed.
So in the next few days, Shen Zhiyi didn't even go back to Huating. She moved back into her own detached apartment and lived like a single person.
