Chapter 8 You haven't smiled at me yet.

"Mr. Pei——"

The carved door of the master bedroom was ajar. Shen Zhiyi gently pushed the door open, but could not find Pei Yu in the living room.

"come over."

The voice came from the cloakroom. Shen Zhiyi walked over hesitantly. The door was half open, and the man's thin and tall figure could be seen. He lowered his eyes slightly, his shirt was mostly unbuttoned, and a dark blue tie was wrapped around his bony fingers. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, and his tone was slightly cold. "What's the matter?"

Shen Zhiyi stood at the door and did not go in. The dim light of the cloakroom cast a faint haziness on the man's figure. Although he did not look up, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and he looked very cold.

She said softly, "Is Mr. Pei unhappy?"

Her intuition told her that Pei Yu's cooling mood might have something to do with her. Shen Zhiyi was very sensitive in this regard. She didn't want to fall out with Pei Yu, especially when their relationship was still maintained.

The tie was thrown away casually, and Pei Yu finally raised his head. Shen Zhiyi was looking at him with an obviously confused and uneasy expression.

He admitted frankly, "Yeah."

Under the light, the man's dark pupils turned lighter, like frozen amber. He said slowly, "So?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi walked towards him, and for an instant, the two were trapped in the same light and shadow. After hesitating for a few seconds, Shen Zhiyi slowly raised his hand, and in Pei Yu's eyes, it fell on his fourth shirt button.

She had slender fingers with light pink on the tips. She deftly unbuttoned her clothes and asked in a low voice, "Did I make you unhappy?"

The two were very close. Pei Yu lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the white neck that was exposed when Shen Zhiyi lowered her head. There was a kiss mark left by him there, clearly showing his presence. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he tilted his head to kiss her earlobe in this position. His whispering voice was clearly heard by Shen Zhiyi, "From last night until now, you haven't smiled at me."

She was crying for another man last night, and today she only smiled faintly at the housekeeper.

His lips were very hot, and Shen Zhiyi's fingertips trembled due to the heat, and then she heard his answer. So he was unhappy about this?

Shen Zhiyi raised her head, but Pei Yu still kept leaning forward to kiss her. Their breathing could be heard. She looked into the man's dark and deep eyes, raised her face slightly, and touched his lips lightly. Then she turned her head away, her cheeks flushed, "I didn't mean it."

She whispered, "Don't be angry with me."

The moment she agreed to him, she was determined to live in peace with him as long as this relationship lasted. It was not her intention to make him unhappy.

"Are you trying to tease me?"

Pei Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke lazily. His fingertips slid from the side of her face to the corner of her lips, gently twisting her plump lower lip. The next moment, he tilted his head and kissed her. His voice was vague between their lips, "This is not enough."

He put a little more force on Shen Zhiyi's waist and pulled her into his arms. Noticing her body stiffening, he slowed down his movements and even spoke in a gentler tone, "Stay with me tonight."

It’s best if that second bedroom is just a decoration.

Shen Zhiyi's breathing was slightly choked, she was nervous but not surprised, wasn't this the kind of relationship they had?

"Traces," she blushed deeply, "there can't be any more traces."

She has work tomorrow.

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and placed his lips on her two straight and slender collarbones. "You can leave it where no one can see it."

The night was quiet and Shen Zhiyi agreed silently.
