Chapter 300: Chapter 300 Intentional Suppression
Pei Yansi pushed the nu towards Shen Heyu, whose initial appetite had also beco sowhat average at this mont. She casually picked two dishes and then sat in her place without a word.
Pei Yansi looked at the dishes she had chosen and sensed sothing was amiss. He gave her a deep look several tis, then added many of her favorite flavors before handing the nu to the waiter.
After the waiter left the private room, he also closed the door behind him.
The mont the door closed, Pei Yansi pulled Shen Heyu into his embrace with one swift move. He wrapped an arm around her waist, allowing her upper body to lean against his chest.
“Why are you unhappy again?” Her eyes almost had “unhappy” written in them. Pei Yansi looked at her beautiful face, pursed his lips, unsure what had upset her this ti.
Shen Heyu didn’t want to be close to him, especially now with him being so near to her. Whenever he spoke, the warm breath he exhaled ambiguously sprayed over the top of her head.
Her brows furrowed, and she subconsciously wanted to evade this sensation. She moved her chair backward, creating so distance between them.
Pei Yansi wasn’t annoyed by her actions; he simply kept observing her changes.
He thought of sothing and asked, “Are you jealous?”
Could it be that seeing Chen Lingng’s behavior towards him made her unhappy out of jealousy? Just like how he felt when he saw Lu Yi and Shen Jiangli interacting with her.
If that were indeed the case, though she might not have been very happy, he still found joy in the thought.
He disregarded Shen Heyu’s resistance and firmly pulled her into his arms.
In the spacious private room with many chairs, he insisted on having her right on him.
He cradled her face in his hands, with an extrely tender and cherishing gesture, and earnestly said, “I only have you, she was just a playmate when I was a child, nothing significant.”
Shen Heyu didn’t speak; was she shocked that he had the shalessness to think she was jealous because of him?
She hung her head down in his chest, refusing to look at him, trying to resist him silently in this way.
Pei Yansi noticed her behavior; he narrowed his eyes dangerously, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Heyu picked up on the abnormal tone in his voice.
As she was about to speak, soone knocked on the private room door. In a panic, she realized that her current position with Pei Yansi was too intimate, and she struggled to get down quickly.
Her legs were apart, seated on his, while he sat back in a soft chair, both hands encircling her waist. Seeing her wanting to flee, Pei Yansi held her even tighter.
He bent down, whispered provocatively into her ear, “What are you nervous about, we’re a legally married couple.”
Shen Heyu heard the sound of the private room door being pushed open from the outside, and after failing to struggle free, she instinctively shrank into Pei Yansi’s chest, trying to hide herself.
As the waiter entered, he saw the two’s actions and, with professional integrity, averted his gaze, carefully placing the dishes on the table before hurriedly leaving.
Sitting in Pei Yansi’s lap, Shen Heyu easily noticed his physical reaction. While she frowned, her face also turned thoroughly red, left sowhat speechless by the man beside her who really did not care about the occasion…
While she was thinking, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her. Thinking the waiter had left, she then heard the waiter ask, “Miss, who are you looking for?”
Chen Lingng’s voice replied, “A friend of mine.”
Hearing their conversation, Shen Heyu knew who she was there for. For a mont, she beca a bit nervous, not out of fear. After all, she was Pei Yansi’s legitimate wife; she had nothing to be nervous about because of this.
But she was nervous because she didn’t want anyone to see her being so intimate with Pei Yansi.
She detested the outside world’s misunderstandings.
She struggled violently this ti to break free from his embrace, her sudden resistance catching Pei Yansi completely off guard.
She managed to wriggle out of his hold.
Shen Heyu almost fell off him, staggering several steps and nearly tumbling over before Pei Yansi quickly reached out to steady her.
Outside the private room, Chen Lingng made her way around the waiter and glanced in their direction.
She caught the scene of Shen Heyu anxiously descending from Pei Yansi’s hold.
Chen Lingng frowned in dissatisfaction. In such a setting, how dare she be so close to Pei Yansi? Where did she get the nerve?
The waiter had already left, and with no concern, Chen Lingng pushed the door open and walked in. Her face was made up with delicate makeup, standing in the room before the plain-faced Shen Heyu. She seed sophisticated and outstanding, but in fact, her temperant was not as dignified and noble as Shen Heyu’s.
Pei Yansi looked at the entering Chen Lingng with displeasure. “What is it now?”
First, Chen Lingng glanced at Shen Heyu, who had already moved to sit far from him, as if she wished they were worlds apart.
She scoffed inwardly, at least having so self-awareness. She masked her views and thoughts about Shen Heyu, and simply side-eyed Pei Yansi, “Yansi, my grandfather just called, asking for you to join us at our house.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Yansi leaned back, pulling at his tie. His handso face revealed no emotion, and his dark eyes betrayed nothing as he slowly opened his mouth to speak, “Your grandfather?”
Chen Lingng rested her hands on the table in front of him, where dishes the waiter had just served sat. The temperature in the room was not low, and she had removed her winter coat, baring excessive skin around her chest.
Pei Yansi’s gaze shifted away uninterestedly.
Shen Heyu, sitting on the side and watching, was stunned by such a bold move.
Chen Lingng then said, “Yes, my grandfather said he hasn’t seen you in a long ti.” The friendship between the Chen Family and the Pei Family dates back to Pei Yansi’s grandfather’s generation.
During the Spring Festival a few days ago, Madam Pei visited an old friend’s house, the Chen Family. Since then, the two families had been sworn friends.
It was also for this reason that he was raised by Madam Pei, which led to him growing up with Chen Lingng.
The friendship of their generation was sothing Pei Yansi couldn’t refuse, especially since the Pei Family owed a great favor to the Chen Family.
But who was Pei Yansi? His gaze fixed on Chen Lingng’s face, automatically ignoring her subtle seduction. He read her intentions; the grandfather she so conveniently brought up was ant to pressure him.
He spoke coldly, “When?”
His words made Chen Lingng think she had a chance. Indeed, she had intentionally ntioned her grandfather to pressure him, hoping to force him to visit the Chen Family so she could have a chance to interact with him alone.
She said, “Tonight, grandfather invites you to join us for dinner.”
Pei Yansi was silent for a few seconds, then withdrew his gaze from her and turned to Shen Heyu, saying, “You co with .”
The silent Shen Heyu, who watched the drama unfold, was bewilderingly singled out. She pointed at herself in surprise, “?”
What is going on?
