Chapter 235 Marry First, Love Later ⑨

Shen Zhiyi discovered one thing, Pei Yu seemed to have blackouts after getting drunk.

Early in the morning, she saw Pei Yu walking out of the cloakroom with an expressionless face. After his eyes stayed on her for only a short second, she came to this conclusion unhappily.

After chatting so much yesterday, she almost understood what Pei Yu was bothered about and explained it to him. However, he forgot everything when he woke up in the morning and became cold again, as if someone had offended him. It made her feel upset.

She didn't want to watch any more, so she covered her head with the quilt, planning to wait until the man left before getting up. After all, he was so busy that he would definitely not procrastinate like her.

After waiting for a while, when she was about to fall asleep again, the quilt was suddenly lifted and Pei Yu's cold voice came over, with no emotion in it.

"Aren't you awake already?"

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes and didn't want to look at him, "Can't I take another nap?"

Pei Yu was silent for a while. Perhaps he could tell that her tone was not good, so he softened his attitude this time. "I drank a lot of wine yesterday. Did I say anything to you?"

"You really don't remember anything?"

Pei Yu said "hmm".

Shen Zhiyi sat up from the bed and stared at him from head to toe. This man was famous for his good looks, as if the Creator had taken extra care with him. Every part of him was exquisite, and even with a hangover, there wasn't a trace of dejection on his body.

"You asked me why I wanted to divorce you."

Shen Zhiyi saw Pei Yu stiffen for a moment, as if he had never expected that he would ask this.

She suddenly felt better and looked up at him, "I explained it to you yesterday. Do you need me to explain it to you again?"

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and looked into her clear and bright eyes. After a few seconds, he looked away and nodded.

"Then tell me first, are you angry with me because of this?" Shen Zhiyi was not facing a difficult drunk this time, so it was impossible for him to answer every question like he did yesterday. "You suddenly went on a business trip and didn't even tell me when you came back. Is it because of this?"

It was only then that Shen Zhiyi remembered that in fact, in the three years since their marriage, Pei Yu would always tell her in advance when he returned to China and would also inform her when he left, although she didn't take it to heart most of the time.

Pei Yu didn't seem to want to admit it, but Shen Zhiyi kept staring at him, as if she was also very concerned about his mood, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently and apologized to her again, "I'm not in a good mood, I won't be like this next time."

"Just because of the rumors on the Internet?" Shen Zhiyi was very surprised. She felt that Pei Yu was not the kind of person who would believe those unrealistic things on the Internet. "Why don't you just ask me directly?"

Pei Yu pursed his lips and said nothing. He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to hear the answer from her mouth, for fear that she would admit it directly.

"Actually, I wanted to discuss this with you the day before you left," Shen Zhiyi said, a little unhappy when she mentioned that night, "but you stayed in the study room until very late, so I thought I would talk about it tomorrow, but you left the next day."

She paused here. She could have taken this opportunity to discuss with him what she wanted to say, but for some reason, she suddenly didn't want to bring it up.

"You actually said something last night."

Her silk nightgown was spread on the bed, with the hem lifted to her thighs, revealing a large area of ​​dazzling white skin. Pei Yu hesitated for a few times, but still bent down to cover her with the quilt and asked softly, "What else did you say?"

Shen Zhiyi stared at him with bright eyes. If someone familiar with her saw it, they would know that she was preparing to do something bad. Unfortunately, Pei Yu didn't spend much time with her, so he couldn't see this. She acted very well, without revealing any flaws, and said slowly, "You also said that you actually like me and don't want to divorce me."

Although Pei Yu asked a lot of vague questions yesterday, which inevitably gave people the impression that he cared a lot about this marriage, he did not mention liking her at all. This sentence was purely made up by Shen Zhiyi herself. She just wanted to see how he would react when he was deceived.

Pei Yu was obviously frozen this time. He still maintained the bent posture, his eyelashes trembling rapidly a few times, and his hands were pinching the quilt with such force that veins bulged.

Shen Zhiyi was a little frightened by his big reaction and said quickly, "I was just kidding you. You didn't say that."

But Pei Yu remained frozen in place, not looking relieved by this explanation.

Because of this inappropriate joke, Pei Yu said almost nothing that morning and quickly went to the company.

Shen Zhiyi sat at the dining table, watched his back as he left, and blinked slightly in confusion.

His reaction was so strange.

Because of this little episode, Shen Zhiyi thought about it from time to time during the filming. Pei Yu's performance at that time was still vivid in her mind, and she became more and more curious about why Pei Yu reacted like that.

She thought about it, found Qin Fang's contact information from the address book, and called him.

Qin Fang answered the call quickly, with a surprised tone, "Why are you calling me? Is there something wrong?"

He had a good relationship with Pei Yu, so Shen Zhiyi asked directly, "Do you know if Pei Yu had ever liked anyone?"

Qin Fang: "...What the hell, are you here to gather intelligence from me?"

The problem is that these two are not a very loving couple, so they don't care about each other's love history.

"Just tell me if you have one."

"No," Qin Fang said exaggeratedly, "Brother Pei doesn't like anyone. I couldn't believe he married you. Although the Pei family did have some troubles at the time, there are families with higher status than your Shen family. If he wants to find someone, he can definitely find someone who will be more helpful to his career."

He didn't speak politely at all, and didn't care whether Shen Zhiyi was happy or not. "Why did he choose you to marry him? You are in the entertainment industry, and you can't help him with anything. I still don't understand it."

Shen Zhiyi sensed something was wrong, "Wasn't my marriage to him arranged by both our parents?"

"You mean Uncle Pei?" Qin Fang didn't expect that she didn't know the Pei family so well. He felt that the young couple seemed to be incompatible. He said helplessly, "Uncle Pei was in the hospital after a car accident. It was Pei Ge'er who made the decision to get married. I opposed it at that time, but it didn't work."

Shen Zhiyi fell silent.

Does this mean that Pei Yu took the initiative to choose her to marry?
But why? At most, the two of them had spent some time together when they were young, and they didn't even know each other well. As Qin Fang said, someone like Pei Yu had more and better choices.

Shen Zhiyi hung up the phone, and her heart suddenly started beating faster.

She thought of Pei Yu this morning and her inexplicable joke.

Pei Yu...could he really like her?
