Chapter 82 Return to Huating.

Hua Ting.

The butler heard the voice and came out, seeing Pei Yu's blurry figure hidden in the night. He lowered his head slightly with a cold expression. When he walked into the brightly lit courtyard, his pale red neck was exposed. It was estimated that he must have drunk a lot of wine at the dinner.

After the others went in, she quietly asked Secretary Qin, "Did you drink a lot?"

Secretary Qin nodded.

Pei Yu has a good alcohol tolerance and rarely gets drunk, but he thinks it would be better to get drunk for real.

The housekeeper couldn't help but ask, "Did you meet Miss Shen?"

Vanity Fair is the place where the two are most likely to intersect. Although they may not necessarily meet, the butler still asked.

Secretary Qin still nodded, "I met him, but I didn't say anything."

It felt like we were strangers the whole time.

The butler sighed helplessly.

It was already very late, but Pei Yu had no intention of resting. He leaned back on the sofa, covering his eyes with his hands. He looked extremely tired, with his brows furrowed, and he did not look very well.

The housekeeper was about to go back to his room to prepare the hangover medicine, but he stopped when he thought of something the servant had accidentally found when tidying up the room during the day. "Mr. Pei, I found the script left by Miss Shen in the second bedroom today. Do you want to send it over?"

Shen Zhiyi had the habit of keeping scripts and looking through them from time to time. This script must have accidentally fallen on the corner of the table and was covered by the carpet, so she didn't notice it when she left.

Her long eyelashes moved slightly, but Pei Yu did not open his eyes and asked coldly, "Who sent it?"

The butler was stunned by the question.

Of course, anyone can deliver it. If she has a lot of free time, she can also call a courier in the city...

She considered it for a moment. "I can go—"

Pei Yu put down the hand that had been covering his eyes, glanced at him expressionlessly, and sneered.

When the boss showed this attitude, it was definitely not an expression of approval. The butler immediately pretended that he had said nothing and asked, "What do you mean?"

Pei Yu stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, rubbing his swollen and aching brows. He was acting abnormal tonight and drank too much, making himself feel uncomfortable all over. He was too lazy to think about anything else, so he said something lightly and went upstairs.

"Let her get it herself."

Following the boss's instructions, the housekeeper called Shen Zhiyi the next day to inform him of the matter.

When the housekeeper called, the phone was still in Xiao Dong's bag. She was waiting for the makeup artist to put makeup on Shen Zhiyi. When she saw the caller ID, she was startled and shuddered, "Sister Zhiyi——"

While applying eyeliner, Shen Zhiyi tilted her head back and glanced at Xiao Dong in confusion in the mirror, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Dong hesitated, "There's a phone call."

After finishing her makeup, Shen Zhiyi found time to call back.

The housekeeper spoke first, "Miss Shen?"

Shen Zhiyi responded, and was a little surprised that the housekeeper would call her. After leaving Huating, she had never contacted these people again. Of course, there was no reason to contact them.

The butler said in a gentle voice, "It's like this, the maid found a script you left behind when cleaning the room, and wanted to ask if you still need it?"

"Script?" Shen Zhiyi didn't realize that she had lost any scripts, but she did think she might have left some behind. "I want it. Can you send it to me by express delivery in the same city?"

She is nostalgic and has kept these things all the time. There is no reason for her not to look for them again if they are lost.

"I'm afraid not," the housekeeper said awkwardly, "Can you come to Hua Ting to get it?"

After all, it was his carelessness that caused the trouble. Since the other party was in a difficult situation, it would be difficult to force him. Shen Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask my assistant to get it."

"You'd better come in person," the housekeeper explained, "Huating has updated its security system, and it's not easy for outsiders to enter and exit." Shen Zhiyi was silent for a moment this time. She didn't really want to go back to Huating, but since the housekeeper said so, she couldn't ask others to get it for her.

She had no choice but to nod, "Well, I'll take some time to go over there. Is this around five this afternoon okay?"

"Ok."

The crew had just resumed work for two days, and several camera directors were still working in other crews, so the filming progress could not be accelerated for the time being. After Shen Zhiyi finished filming her part, she asked Xiao Dong to take her back to Huating.

Hua Ting had not changed from half a month ago. The housekeeper was waiting at the door and smiled when he saw her. "Long time no see."

Shen Zhiyi also smiled. She actually didn’t think they would see each other again.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea first." The butler had already prepared tea and snacks. "The script is upstairs. I'll go get it."

After a while, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Shen Zhiyi turned around and found that the person coming down was not the butler.

Because he was at home, Pei Yu was wearing loose and casual clothes. The soft home clothes could not hide his sharp edges. He walked down the stairs step by step, neither fast nor slow, with a cold and pale face.

Only when he got closer did he lift his eyelids and look over, seeing the unconcealable emotions in Shen Zhiyi's eyes, "Are you surprised to see me?"

Shen Zhiyi avoided his gaze and said, "I thought you were not here."

Pei Yu said calmly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The tone was light, but the words were harsh, so Shen Zhiyi didn't say anything else.

When the housekeeper came down, he saw the two men sitting separately, neither of them speaking. The longer the silent atmosphere lasted, the colder Pei Yu's seemingly emotionless face became.

She hurried downstairs, "I brought the script."

Shen Zhiyi took the script and said, "Thank you. I'll leave first."

"Don't you want to stay for dinner?" The housekeeper tried to persuade him to stay. "The dinner is ready. Eat first."

"No," Shen Zhiyi didn't look at Pei Yu, "I'm short on time."

The housekeeper was anxious and looked at Pei Yu hesitantly, "Sir——"

Say something though.

Pei Yu stood up, but he didn't walk towards Shen Zhiyi, but towards the door. He didn't even look back, and said in a low voice, "I won't be in your way if I'm not here."

The reason why I don't want to come here and stay here for a long time is simply because I mind him.

Shen Zhiyi felt very uncomfortable watching him leave, but she couldn't tell whether it was because of Pei Yu's attitude or something else. She just felt that even if she pretended to be a stranger who didn't say a word to Pei Yu, it would be better than listening to his cold words now.

The housekeeper asked cautiously, "Let's finish our meal before leaving, okay?"

Dinner was specially prepared, and every dish suited Shen Zhiyi's taste. Pei Yu also took a look at the menu. The housekeeper thought he would dine together, but he didn't expect the final result to be like this.

Shen Zhiyi finished her meal quietly and was stuffed with a bunch of snacks by the housekeeper. Xiao Dong was quite surprised to see her carrying things out. He didn't expect that the people in Huating were so considerate in entertaining guests.

While driving, Xiao Dong suddenly remembered something, "Sister Zhiyi, have you returned the cufflinks I found in the car last time?"

I didn’t have the chance to return it then, and now I happened to come to Huating.

Shen Zhiyi was stunned by the question, turned his head to look out the window, and answered vaguely, "I forgot."

She never thought about returning it.

She didn't take any of the things Pei Yu gave her, except for the cufflink, which she kept.
