Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Kidnapped to See a Men’s Fashion Show.

Shen Zhiyi finished work earlier in the afternoon, removed her makeup at the film set, and received a call from Qin Xiaoran, who had been spending most of her time lately with her future mother-in-law and was so annoyed that she had a meltdown on social media.

"Sister Zhiyi!" she said excitedly, "Are you free tonight? Let’s go out and have some fun!"

Shen Zhiyi did have time, so she agreed, "Sure, shall I accompany you shopping?"

"Not shopping," Qin Xiaoran complained, "I’ve been shopping with my future mother-in-law these past few days until I felt sick. I bought so much stuff that my eyes are all blurred. Let’s go watch a show,"

At this point, she chuckled mischievously, "A men’s fashion show, recommended by a friend. I heard the models are in fantastic shape."

Shen Zhiyi had attended many fashion shows, and thinking it was just another men’s show, she didn’t give it much thought. "Sure."

Qin Xiaoran made sure to instruct, "Don’t tell Brother Pei Yu, alright? Let’s go secretly."

"Not tell him?" Shen Zhiyi laughed, "What’s there to hide?"

"Oh, just don’t tell Brother Pei Yu, please, really don’t."

She stressed it several times, and although Shen Zhiyi felt it unnecessary, she agreed anyway.

On the way to the meeting place, Pei Yu indeed messaged her asking when she would finish work.

He had been busy with a takeover deal recently, flying abroad several times, and the frequency of their meetings wasn’t as high as before, but whenever Shen Zhiyi was free, he would make time to see her.

Following what Qin Xiaoran had instructed, Shen Zhiyi didn’t tell him that she had already finished work and made up a later time instead.

Partly, she wanted to avoid making him travel back and forth and preferred he rest instead. However, she still felt a bit guilty. She rarely lied, making her quite uneasy.

Pei Yu didn’t inquire further, likely busy, responding sporadically.

"Sister," Xiaodong drove the car into the underground parking lot, "Put on your hat and mask, don’t get snapped."

There were many media at the show, not to mention paparazzi, and though getting photographed wasn’t a big deal since it was a private schedule, it’s better to have less trouble.

Shen Zhiyi nodded, pressed down her cap and bent down to get out of the car.

Qin Xiaoran had come straight from a nearby club and was already waiting in the lounge, Shen Zhiyi was surprised to see her, "Why are you dressed like that?"

Although it was a cheongsam of excellent quality, its style looked old-fashioned and conservative, which didn’t suit Qin Xiaoran’s usual fashion sense.

With a glum face, Qin Xiaoran grumbled, "Blame my future mother-in-law, she even controls what I wear. I came straight here after we parted, without time to change."

Sitting next to her, Shen Zhiyi frowned as she listened, "You seem really afraid of her?"

She had felt this for a while now, that Qin Xiaoran was too eager to please her future mother-in-law.

"It’s not that I am scared," Qin Xiaoran sighed, "We aren’t even married yet, I need to be accommodating to her, otherwise this marriage won’t happen. Once we are married, just watch if I care about her then."

Although it was a business marriage without much affection, Qin Xiaoran was fairly satisfied with her fiancé, the best among the shorter picks. Additionally, her father was set on this marriage, so she had to endure a bit longer and wouldn’t need to be so polite with her in-laws after getting married.

"Let’s not talk about this," Qin Xiaoran cheerfully took Shen Zhiyi’s arm, "How are things with Brother Pei Yu?"

Unaccustomed to discussing this with others, Shen Zhiyi felt a bit embarrassed and vaguely replied, "Just so-so."

"What do you mean by so-so?" Qin Xiaoran found her easy blushing amusing, "I heard from Qin Fang that Brother Pei Yu has been quite busy lately."

"He has been a bit."

The nature of her and Pei Yu’s jobs wasn’t stable like a nine-to-five, often one of them would be busy, and thus there were periods when they didn’t see each other often.

"My brother is the same," Qin Xiaoran shrugged, accustomed to it since it’s been this way since her dad’s time, "You didn’t tell him about watching the show today, did you?"

"I didn’t."

Shen Zhiyi was puzzled why she was so concerned about whether she had told Pei Yu, but once they were inside the venue, seeing the first male model who opened the show made everything clear.

"This..." Shen Zhiyi looked at the nearly naked body of the male model, feeling something was off, "What kind of show is this exactly?"

Qin Xiaoran was enjoying it, "It’s a lingerie show, not bad, right?"

Shen Zhiyi went dark for a moment. No wonder she was advised not to tell Pei Yu.

"This one’s good, this one has big chest muscles," Qin Xiaoran was enthusiastic, saying it was a lingerie show, but her focus wasn’t on the clothes at all. Regretfully, she added, "My fiancé doesn’t have a body this nice; his butt isn’t as perky either."

She nudged Shen Zhiyi, "How does Brother Pei Yu’s body compare to these models?"

Shen Zhiyi’s face burned, the brim of her hat almost covering her face, "I’m not looking anymore."

She was evaluating now; Shen Zhiyi really didn’t have the thick skin for it.

"Don’t be like that," Qin Xiaoran quickly grabbed her, "I won’t say anymore, we’ll just look. You can even buy a few pieces for Brother Pei Yu if you see something you like."

Shen Zhiyi was mortified, "Shut up."

She would never give Pei Yu such things, knowing well what his reaction would be...

Qin Xiaoran quieted down just for a few minutes, "...This guy really has an eight-pack, tsk tsk."

Her excitement grew; Shen Zhiyi also took a glance and couldn’t help but say, "The last two look like they were drawn on."

Many male actors do this when filming scenes that require showing off the upper body.

"Eagle eyes!" Qin Xiaoran exclaimed, quickly catching on, nudging her, "Is it because you’ve seen the real deal, so you can spot the fakes instantly?"

Her meaning was twisted, but Shen Zhiyi couldn’t defend herself.

Because she indeed had seen the real ones.

In the end, she still ended up watching the show with Qin Xiaoran, who was very satisfied, "Next time there’s a show like this, I’ll call you again."

"Let’s not," Shen Zhiyi sighed, "Aren’t you afraid Pei Yu will find out?"

Given Pei Yu’s petty nature, he would probably blacklist Qin Xiaoran completely from his social circles.

"You won’t tell, I won’t tell, how would Brother Pei Yu know?"

Qin Xiaoran was all smiles, not caring at all. She had done plenty of sneaky things behind others’ backs since she was young. Watching a lingerie show was no big deal; it’s not like it went beyond watching.

"Come on, let’s find a place to have dinner."

She linked arms with Shen Zhiyi and headed out, "You just haven’t seen enough yet, watch it a few more times, and you can be as unmoved as me."

Shen Zhiyi teased her, "You seem pretty excited though."

If they were closer, she might actually go for a touch.

Qin Xiaoran laughed, "That shows I still haven’t seen enough, need to come a few more times."

The next visit was immediately planned.
