Chapter 234 Marry First, Love Later⑧

At the end of the month, Shen Zhiyi was called home for dinner. She has three children in her family, and she is the youngest one, so she receives the most care.

At the dining table, Father Shen and his wife looked at each other and sighed, "Zhiyi, Dad has thought about it for a long time and feels that I still need to explain it to you."

"I didn't think carefully enough when I forced you to marry Pei Yu. I've discussed this with your mother. If you want a divorce, we support you."

Shen Zhiyi didn't expect them to bring up this, and slowly put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Father Shen said again, "If you don't know how to tell Pei Yu, I'll go talk to him."

Shen Zhiyi remained silent for a while before saying, "There's no need to get a divorce."

Father Shen was a little surprised, "Don't you dislike Pei Yu?"

"Whether you like it or not, we have been married for more than three years," Shen Zhiyi said in a bad tone, feeling depressed, "Why are we still talking about this now?"

She now feels that getting along with Pei Yu is not such a torturous thing, and she has even gotten used to falling asleep in his arms. At this time, people around her began to persuade her to divorce, which made Shen Zhiyi very depressed and irritated.

However, Shen's father misunderstood Shen Zhiyi's meaning and thought she was blaming him for being late.

After Shen Zhiyi left, the couple discussed it for a while and felt more and more that it was a mistake to let their daughter marry Pei Yu.

"Even if Zhiyi is unhappy, she won't tell us. Look at what you did in the first place. How did you bring Pei Yu and Zhiyi together?" Shen's mother blamed her husband.

"I was also considering many things at the time," Father Shen sighed, "I'll talk to Pei Yu and let them separate as soon as possible. I'm afraid that neither of them will feel comfortable if they are forced to be together."

As he said this, he called Pei Yu.

The environment over there was a little noisy, so he moved to a quieter place, "Dad."

Father Shen coughed uncomfortably, "Pei Yu, I'm calling you to discuss this with you on behalf of Zhiyi. She agreed to marry you because of me, but she wasn't really willing to do so. I don't think it's appropriate for you two to be together without any feelings for each other. How about..."

Pei Yu interrupted him, his tone was very cold, "We are fine, there is no reason to divorce, let's not mention this matter again."

Father Shen held up the phone that had ended the call and was stunned for a long while.

Mother Shen asked with concern, "How is it?"

"He doesn't want to," Shen's father was also confused, "I thought divorce was something they both wanted..."

After leaving her parents' house, Shen Zhiyi originally wanted to go back to her apartment, but halfway through the journey, she suddenly changed her mind.

"Let's go back to Hua Ting."

When she lived in Huating a few days ago, she suffered from insomnia almost every night, so she moved out. But now she inexplicably began to miss that place.

Huating was too far away, and it was already late at night when they arrived there. Shen Zhiyi did not move anyone else, nor did he even turn on the lights. He slowly went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door.

She stood at the door in a daze for a while before turning on a light. After her eyes adjusted to the sudden light, the familiar figure on the bed came into view, which scared her.

"Pei Yu?"

Pei Yu is back?
She walked forward a few steps and found that Pei Yu was not in good condition. His face was flushed from being drunk, and even the corners of his eyes were a little rosy. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of alcohol.

Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a while and didn't want to disturb him, so he planned to go to the second bedroom to sleep. Just as he turned around, someone suddenly pulled his wrist hard, and his body immediately lost balance and fell on the bed.

Pei Yu was pressed under her. He opened his eyes at some point. His usually cold eyes were not clear at this moment. He looked at her absent-mindedly with a deep color in his eyes.

"Shen Zhiyi," he murmured. Shen Zhiyi's wrist was held by him, and it hurt slightly. She struggled hard for a few times, "Let me go first."

The force on her wrist became even tighter. Pei Yu stared at her with some hostility in his eyes, "No."

He used to be just cold, and Shen Zhiyi had never seen him really lose his temper. Now, she suddenly saw his ferocious side and was stunned with shock.

He becomes violent when he's drunk?
He was so strong that Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but frown and hit his shoulder unhappily, "Let go, my wrist hurts."

Pei Yu loosened his grip only after hearing her say it hurt, but he didn't let her go completely.

He held her wrist with one hand and pressed the other hand on her back, forcing her to stick to him.

"Shen Zhiyi," he said in a deep voice, "Do you have someone you like?"

Without waiting for Shen Zhiyi to answer, he asked again, "Is it that Huo Heng?"

Shen Zhiyi was confused by the question, "What?"

She became even more unhappy, "You even believe those messed up news on the Internet?"

It’s okay if others misunderstood, but why does he think so?

Pei Yu was difficult to communicate with after getting drunk, so he asked again persistently, "Do you like Huo Heng?"

"No," Shen Zhiyi was upset, "I don't like him!"

Pei Yu didn't speak for a while, and Shen Zhiyi almost thought he was drunk and fell asleep again, but suddenly he heard him ask, "Then why do you want to divorce me?"

This sentence was lower and deeper than the previous one. Shen Zhiyi felt a bitter feeling in his heart. The upset feeling was gone, replaced by a sense of helplessness.

"Did you really read those rumors online?" She sighed, "I don't want to divorce you, it's just my friends who misunderstood."

Pei Yu was silent for a moment, then hugged her tighter and asked without thinking, "What kind of person do you want to marry?"

He was not actually as drunk as he looked. The phone call he had made with Shen's father during the day was still clear as if it had just happened, and he was still feeling aggrieved about it.

Shen Zhiyi didn't want to marry him, so what kind of person did she want to marry? If Pei Yu had more time and energy at that time, perhaps he could make her willingly marry him.

Shen Zhiyi was confused by his question and said honestly, "I haven't thought about this."

She has never liked anyone, so naturally she doesn't think about what kind of person she will marry in the future.

Pei Yu remained silent for a long time.

Shen Zhiyi was already a little sleepy. As she was dozing off in his arms, she heard another question from him.

"Is marrying Pei Yu a bad choice?"

He asked a lot of questions tonight, and each one was so confusing that people couldn't figure out what he was thinking or what he wanted to ask.

Shen Zhiyi thought for a while with her sleepy mind, then gently patted his hand and told him, "It's not bad, I think it's good."

If he wasn't as cold to her as before, if he didn't go on a business trip suddenly for no reason, Shen Zhiyi would feel that marrying him was not as bad as she had imagined.

His smell was pleasant and his embrace was warm. Even if it was just for the sake of her own sleep quality, Shen Zhiyi really needed him.
