Chapter 90 Dream She was embraced in someone else’s arms.

The room was silent. Because they were too close, Shen Zhiyi seemed to be enveloped by the overwhelming agarwood on Pei Yu. He approached again and again, asking in a deep voice, "Answer me."

“Does it matter what I think?”

Shen Zhiyi finally raised her head and asked seriously, "Pei Yu, you weren't like this before. Don't you think it doesn't matter? We should part ways amicably. Our fate has ended. Don't you agree with that?"

Since they have broken up, he should just be Mr. Pei again, meet other women, and forget about Shen Zhiyi.

"We have been separated for more than a month. You are asking these questions and doing these things now. What do you want from me?"

She had tried her best not to regret her original decision, thought about him as little as possible, and pretended nothing had happened when they met. It had been more than a month, and she could barely pretend to be calm. Why did Pei Yu want to provoke her again at this time?

There were faint tears in her eyes, which flashed by and she quickly lowered her head to hide them. Pei Yu suddenly realized and took two steps back in a daze.

What is he doing?
When he let her leave Huating, he was annoyed that she gave up this relationship so easily. He felt that after so many years of persistence, it was time to end it. So he parted ways and didn't bother each other anymore. He regarded the depression and regret afterwards as only temporary and didn't want to admit that he couldn't live without her.

But what is he doing now? What does he want Shen Zhiyi to do?
Without looking at him anymore, Shen Zhiyi opened the door and left.

It was already very dark outside. Qin Xiaoran sent a car to take her back to the community. She removed her makeup and changed her clothes. After she had some free time, she stared at the cufflink in the jewelry box in a daze.

It cannot be denied that her heart was shaken the moment she asked Pei Yu what he wanted to do. Pei Yu was too abominable. On the one hand, he was cold and superior, as if he was in a different world from her and could join hands with another person at any time as long as he wanted. On the other hand, he acted as if he understood her and cared about her very much.

She was stupid and couldn't tell which side of Pei Yu was real and which was fake. She didn't want to waste her energy on a relationship that was always on the verge of collapse. It was very difficult to cut off her relationship with Pei Yu, and she didn't want to go through it a second time.

Pei Yu asked her if she hoped he would become a romantic man like his father, but could her thoughts influence the future? Just like Huo Heng, she once thought that they could support each other for a lifetime, but in the end, it turned out to be like this.

Reason told her this over and over again, but Shen Zhiyi also knew that she missed Pei Yu, missed his embrace, his warmth, and his casual smile.

Hua Ting.

The housekeeper has recently returned to her previous idle state. Pei Yu only comes back to live with her occasionally, and she is not required to do anything when he comes back, so this salary is quite easy to earn.

In the early morning, she got up as usual to drink water, accidentally knocked over the cup on the bedside, and planned to go to the kitchen to get a new one.

It was still dark at night. The housekeeper turned on the light in the living room and unexpectedly found a figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. After being frightened, he realized that it was Pei Yu.

"gentlemen?"

Why aren't you asleep yet?

The loose home clothes outlined his thin figure. Pei Yu didn't know how long he stood here quietly. He felt a chill all over his body. Just when the housekeeper thought he would not speak, he said in a low voice, "I had a dream."

Perhaps it was the nightmare that made him like this. The butler looked over and said comfortingly, "Dreams and reality are opposites."

Pei Yu looked at the silent and deep night, thinking of the dream that woke him up, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Not necessarily."

What kind of dream made him so sure it could come true?

The butler handed over a cup of warm water and asked in a gentle voice, "What did you dream about, sir?"

"I dreamed..." Pei Yu slowly turned the cup and recalled the contents of his dream. His eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in a gloomy light. He spoke in a low tone, "I dreamed that she was embraced by another man."

The word "she" instantly made the housekeeper understand who this dream was about. In fact, this was not a strange dream for Pei Yu. During the years abroad, he often dreamed of this scene, but he had no contact with her at that time. She in the dream was a vague and elusive shadow. Now it was different. He was familiar with her temperature and had traced her outline with kisses. He was familiar with every part of her, but in the dream he saw her turn around and throw herself into the arms of another man, and saw the clear smile on her face.

He woke up suddenly because of this scene in his dream.

Dreams are projections of the subconscious mind and they never lie. They tell him directly what he fears most.

Pei Yu felt his throat dry and painful after drinking the warm water. He lowered his eyes, remembering the scenes in his dream clearly. "I dreamed that she got married, but she was not living a good life."

He dreamed that she was betrayed and bullied, but he didn't even have the right to intervene. He could only watch her cry, helpless. He still felt palpitations when he woke up.

"gentlemen,"

When he said this, there was no emotion on his face, his expression was light, and even his tone was not heavy, but the housekeeper felt sad. He did not give himself and Shen Zhiyi a chance in his dream, just because he was afraid that she would suffer.

"Since you are worried, why not guard it yourself?"

Pei Yu asked, "Can I definitely make her happy?"

He himself didn't know what to do.

He didn't do well and always made his father unhappy when he was a child. Now, Shen Zhiyi is also dissatisfied with him.

"Whether you are happy or not is up to Miss Shen to judge."

The housekeeper said gently, "Sir, just go ahead and do it. If you don't do it well, just correct it. Miss Shen has a good temper and won't bother with you."

Thinking of something, a hint of smile spread across his eyes, and Pei Yu chuckled, "She has a good temper, but she is harsh on me."

Huo Heng had hurt her so many times and was always given the chance to be forgiven, but he only did something wrong once and she let him go.

"You are harsh because you have too high expectations. You pretended to be so nice in front of Miss Shen, and you rarely even got angry. But now you are being cold and sarcastic. It's normal for her to be annoyed by you."

Because they were talking about Shen Zhiyi, the housekeeper didn't worry that what she said would affect the work. She was not saying this in her capacity as a housekeeper.

Pei Yu really didn't bother with her choice of words. He pulled down the corner of his lip, his brows were gloomy, and he said with a gloomy face, "She really annoys me."

It was true that she was drawing a line in the sand and that she refused to have anything to do with him. It was also true that she really hated him now.

"Then go and comfort him," the housekeeper couldn't stand his gloomy look. The court was too empty, so it would be better if there were more people. "You have to do something to prevent the nightmare from coming true."

After a pause, he reminded, "You can do it once or twice, but not three times. If you have made up your mind, don't do anything to make Miss Shen sad. She won't give you a third chance."

These words were a reminder and also a warning. She must not learn to be as ruthless as Pei's father, nor should she provoke Shen Zhiyi with a wavering heart. She did not want a relationship that would go bad.

Pei Yu said nothing and thought of the dream again.

The last thing he wanted was to be the one to hurt her.
