Chapter 109: Chapter 109: One of Her Suitors.

After finishing the shoot and chatting with the director for a while, Shen Zhiyi couldn’t help but frown slightly when she saw Xu Xia standing with Duan Jiaze.

She walked over, "Jiaze."

Duan Jiaze immediately came over and took her hand.

Xu Xia’s expression was very ugly. He stared at Shen Zhiyi for a long time, then oddly laughed twice, "No wonder he can’t let go of you..."

It turned out they had an old relationship, and they even had a child together.

Shen Zhiyi: "??"

She looked down at Duan Jiaze’s guilty face, "What did you say again?"

"I didn’t say anything," Duan Jiaze shook his head, his eyes innocent, "Really, I said nothing."

"You shouldn’t listen to your uncle so much," leading a child back, Shen Zhiyi said helplessly, "He’s led you astray."

Just knows how to fool a child.

The afternoon’s shooting ended earlier, as there was a brand promotion event to attend.

Xiaodong flipped through the message history, "It should end in two hours. The brand invited many beauty bloggers this time, all big influencers."

Shen Zhiyi was reviewing the interview script prepared for the event, "Bring Jiaze over when it’s time to go to the inner field. I might not be free to watch over him. Keep him company and get him something to eat."

Xiaodong nodded, "Okay."

When the banquet in the inner field started, just as agreed, she brought Duan Jiaze in. The brand had invited many influencers, and the regulation of personnel inside wasn’t stringent. She walked in, holding Duan Jiaze’s hand, and instructed, "Don’t run around. If someone asks, just say you’re Sister Zhiyi’s."

She had Duan Jiaze sit on a small sofa and got him some snacks. The phone rang, and she found a corner to answer it.

"Don’t wander off. Call me if you need anything."

Duan Jiaze dutifully ate his food, observing the people around him—so many handsome men, he thought, so many young handsome men.

With so many people, Duan Jiaze felt overwhelmed, as if he couldn’t guard against them and secretly called Pei Yu.

The call came in on the phone held by Secretary Qin, who glanced at the caller ID, "It’s Jiaze."

Pei Yu had just finished signing a document, "Answer it."

Once the call was answered, the child’s loud voice came through, "Uncle, I can’t hold it back anymore, there are so many handsome guys here, all younger than you!"

Secretary Qin: "..."

Pei Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Secretary Qin, "Where is she now?"

At that moment, Shen Zhiyi was taking a group photo with several beauty bloggers. Descending the stairs, an exquisitely dressed man approached her and took hold of her skirt, "Miss Shen, let me help you."

He introduced himself as an actor who had starred in several web dramas and later switched to becoming a beauty doctor. Shen Zhiyi had no recollection of him and smiled lightly, "Thank you."

At the inner field, Shen Zhiyi wanted to find Duan Jiaze, but the man seemed not ready to leave, engaging her in conversation, "Could we shoot a video together later? I want to post it on my personal channel. I have over a million followers..."

"Let’s skip the video," Shen Zhiyi said. "I’m okay with a group photo."

The man called over his assistant to help take the picture, especially picky, not satisfied even after several takes, sometimes complaining that his face looked too big, other times that it looked too stiff.

He intentionally moved closer, "Miss Shen, let’s stand closer for the photo."

Shen Zhiyi moved slightly, but he reached out his hand, attempting to encircle her waist.

She sidestepped, her expression cooling, "Let’s just take it like this."

Meanwhile, Duan Jiaze had finished a piece of small cake completely, and reached for another.

"You think you aren’t fat enough?"

He suddenly looked up, "Uncle!"

Pei Yu stood in front of him, looking disdainfully at his cream-covered face, and handed him a handkerchief, "Wipe your face clean."

He looked around, "Where is she?"

"I don’t know," Duan Jiaze wiped his face obediently, "There are too many people, I can’t find her."

There indeed were a lot of people, and Duan Jiaze was right about one thing, there were many handsome men, each with exquisite makeup and trendy outfits.

In comparison, Pei Yu, who was only wearing a plain coat, seemed very casual. The cool lighting of the banquet hall shone on him, making his brows and eyes appear as clear as if they were painted. He slightly pursed his lips and extended his hand to Duan Jiaze, "I’ll take you to find her."

Duan Jiaze took his hand and quietly scoffed, what does he mean "take him to find her"? Clearly, he wanted to see Zhizhi himself.

"Miss Shen,"

After having snapped who knows how many pictures, the man wasn’t very satisfied with the photos, "My hair is messy, let’s take another one."

Shen Zhiyi was losing patience, "I have other things to do, sorry."

"Ah," the man seemed not to detect her excuse and continued to insist, "Just one more, it won’t take much of your time. We’ll be quick."

He held his phone, "I’ve followed you on Weibo, can you follow me back? Maybe we’ll bump into each other at other events. I know lots of celebrities, I could introduce you to each other—"

"Sorry," Shen Zhiyi didn’t want to talk any further, hitched up her dress a little, and turned to step away.

"Hey," the man instinctively chased after her, "didn’t you hear what I said—"

He still wanted her personal contact information.

Suddenly, his way was blocked; he looked down to see a little kid not as tall as his leg, "Where did this kid come from?"

Duan Jiaze pointed at the departing Shen Zhiyi, "From her family."

The man was confused, "What do you mean? You are Shen Zhiyi’s kid? She already has a child?"

His head was smacked like someone cracking a watermelon a couple of times, Duan Jiaze hastily denied, "No," he turned and hugged Pei Yu’s legs, "I mean, I am his family."

The man scrutinized Pei Yu, "Who are you?"

The coat’s brand wasn’t visible, but the material was superb. That watch looked familiar, but he suspected it was counterfeit.

Pei Yu spoke leisurely, poised and composed, "Me?"

He said, "One of Shen Zhiyi’s suitors."

The man paused, his gaze fell on Duan Jiaze, who bore some resemblance to him, looking like father and son. In disbelief, he asked, "You’re courting her with a kid?"

Isn’t that a bit absurd, bro?

"Is that not okay?" Pei Yu fluttered his long eyelashes thoughtfully, "After all, she’s only willing to deal with me because of the kid."

The man was dumbstruck for a while, confused, not knowing what to say.

"Uncle," Duan Jiaze looked up seriously, "you might as well give up. You’re a bit ugly, Zhizhi doesn’t like your kind."

The man: "..."

He looked at Duan Jiaze, then at Pei Yu, and asked with full confusion, "Are you relying on your face or the kid?"

The former seems more likely than the latter, if that’s the case, then Shen Zhiyi also has a bit of a love brain thing going on.

In the distance, Shen Zhiyi had already spotted them and was walking towards them. Pei Yu hooked his lips, "Maybe it’s both."

A cold gaze fell on the man, scrutinizing him critically. Pei Yu said indifferently, "You have neither."
