Chapter 69 I am Pei Yu’s father.
"Are you passing by?"
The window of the back seat was lowered, Shen Zhiyi bent down, a little surprised, "It's so early, do you have work?"
She almost never asked about Pei Yu's schedule. When Pei Yu talked about it, she just listened. If he didn't say anything, she wouldn't think of asking. She was always surprised when she met him outside, and her first reaction was to guess whether he was going to work.
Pei Yu said "hmm", "I have a flight, it's not on my way."
I got up early because I was busy with work, and I didn't come to see her just because it was convenient.
Shen Zhiyi got on the car from the other side and smelled the aroma of food. Pei Yu brought her breakfast and ate while chatting, "How long can you stay?"
Don't waste his time.
Pei Yu hooked her messy hair with his fingertips and tucked it behind her ears. He lowered his eyes and watched her eat with a relaxed and lazy attitude. "Don't worry, eat slowly."
His eyes inadvertently swept across the scene outside the window. He paused, but said nothing.
Huo Heng was standing not far away, looking into the car, but he could not see anything. It was precisely because he could not see anything that his imagination ran wild.
He guessed who the car belonged to. It was hard to imagine that Shen Zhiyi was hanging out with someone so openly. Wasn't she afraid of being photographed and exposed? Or was that person so powerful that he could manipulate public opinion?
The more he thought about it, the more jealous he became, and the more unwilling he became. No matter how his assistant persuaded him, he was unwilling to leave and insisted on seeing Shen Zhiyi come out.
Shen Zhiyi was so focused on eating that she didn't notice Huo Heng was still standing outside. When she occasionally looked up, Pei Yu was just blocking the car window and bringing the still warm soy milk to her lips, successfully diverting her attention.
Pei Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her cheeks that were bulging with food. He reached out and poked them, as if casually asking, "Do you want my help?"
"what?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't understand, so she took a sip of soy milk from his hand with a confused look in her eyes.
"I heard that your ex-boyfriend is still pestering you. Wasn't this variety show shooting intentional on his part?"
She couldn't help it. When she thought of Huo Heng actively trying to make his presence felt in front of her, she became anxious and wanted to kill him. She completely forgot her previous plan - yes, he did make Shen Zhiyi hate him more and more, but it was also possible that Shen Zhiyi would soften her heart, wasn't it?
Pei Yu dared not gamble.
The word "ex-boyfriend" was particularly unfamiliar. That relationship was fake, and Shen Zhiyi never regarded Huo Heng as her boyfriend. At that time, Huo Heng and Xu Xia broke up and got back together several times. She just thought she would have a chance.
It’s pretty silly now that I think about it.
Shen Zhiyi was stunned when he heard these three words from Pei Yu out of the blue. He was slow to understand what he meant, "No need. I told him very clearly."
This circle is indeed small. Even if they don’t film dramas or variety shows together, they can always meet each other when participating in some activities. As long as Shen Zhiyi herself doesn’t care, no matter how much Huo Heng does, it will not have any impact on her.
In short, there is no need for Pei Yu to intervene.
She originally didn't want Pei Yu to worry about this kind of person and this kind of thing, but Pei Yu was suspicious and jealous, and he couldn't help but think more about it. He said expressionlessly, "Are you afraid that I'll be too harsh?"
As long as he wants, being hidden and banned will be a good ending for Huo Heng.
His tone was calm and no one could tell what he meant by it, but his expression was cold. His long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were blurred into a shadow by the morning light.
Shen Zhiyi looked up in surprise, "I just think there's no need to bother you... Do you hate Huo Heng?"
She didn't realize that this was all because of her. To her, Huo Heng was a thing of the past. Pei Yu had no reason to care about such a person. Huo Heng was not worth his worry.
"An eyesore."
Pei Yu said coldly, and seeing the surprise and confusion in Shen Zhiyi's eyes, he realized belatedly that he had lost his composure.
No matter what Huo Heng is mentioned, she always forgets about him. Isn't it helping Huo Heng to mention him repeatedly?
Secretly annoyed, he felt irritated and pursed his lips and stopped talking.
The frowned brows were smoothed by a finger, and Shen Zhiyi looked at him worriedly, "Don't be unhappy."
She guessed that he might be in a bad mood today, so she took the initiative to hold his hand and shook it gently.
Pei Yu looked at their clasped hands for a while, and his annoyance was swept away. He slowly changed the position so that his fingers were interlocked, "To comfort me?" "Yes."
Shen Zhiyi admitted it frankly.
This time it was Pei Yu who was surprised. He curled his lips in pleasure and was about to kiss her when there was a knock on the car window.
"Zhiyi, you haven't left yet?"
The person who spoke was a female guest who was recording a variety show with him. She had a straightforward and simple personality and had no idea of the difference between this car and an ordinary nanny car. When Huo Heng said that Shen Zhiyi was in this car, she came over.
Shen Zhiyi was startled, and hurriedly pushed Pei Yu away, whispering, "He's a guest who was recording the show together."
Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked silently.
So?
Shen Zhiyi's voice lowered, "Can you please get out of the way first?"
She didn't want anyone to know Pei Yu.
Pei Yu was stared at with pitiful eyes by her for a while, and he had no choice but to compromise. He moved away silently, but still held her hand.
The car window was lowered a little to make sure Pei Yu would not be seen, and Shen Zhiyi felt relieved, "I will leave in a while."
The female guest nodded, "Oh, Huo Heng asked me to ask you when you are leaving and if you can give him a ride."
The fingertips clasped on the back of her hand exerted a little force, holding her hand tightly, as if holding her heart as well. Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, "I can't help, let him find someone else."
The female guest didn't think much about it, "Then I'll tell him, hey, he's coming."
Huo Heng found that the car window was only lowered a little, and he couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone inside. He pointed out something and said in an awkward tone, "Can't the car window be opened wider? It's very inconvenient to talk like this."
Shen Zhiyi looked at him without saying anything, but the car window moved and slowly lowered most of the way. The seat behind her was empty. Huo Heng couldn't tell whether he was relieved or what, "I——"
He couldn't finish his words because he saw Shen Zhiyi's hand being held by someone.
The gesture of interlocking fingers reveals obvious intimacy and possessiveness.
Ignoring his suddenly ugly expression, Shen Zhiyi said goodbye to the female guest, and the car window slowly closed as Huo Heng stared at her.
Pei Yu pinched her fingertips and said lazily, "Sorry, I accidentally touched the button."
It was obviously intentional.
Pei Yu had work to do for a short while, and Shen Zhiyi also had to go to the set, so she got back into Xiao Dong's car and took the time to catch up on some sleep.
After arriving at the place, Xiao Dong woke her up and said, "Sister, there was a phone call just now."
As he was speaking, the local number called again, and Shen Zhiyi answered the call while walking towards the set.
"Which one?"
An old and hoarse male voice came from the other end.
"I am Pei Yu's father."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned and stopped hesitantly.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
She had only heard of Pei Yu's father from other people.
"Ms. Shen, are you free to meet me? I want to talk to you."
