Chapter 139: Chapter 139: You Investigated Me?

Qin Xiaoran received Shen Zhiyi’s message in the morning, and she knew something was terribly wrong as soon as she read it.

Not only did Pei Yu find out, but he also returned to the country in the middle of the night to settle scores, and it was obvious from the tone of the message that he had either instigated or even forced it.

Poor Sister Zhiyi.

"Qin Fang," Qin Xiaoran repented for two seconds, then went downstairs to find Qin Fang, who was having breakfast, "Book me a ticket to Fiji, I need to lay low for a while."

Qin Fang looked up with a speechless expression, "What, did you cause trouble?"

Qin Xiaoran told him what she had done, emphasizing the bit about Pei Yu returning to the country in the middle of the night, Qin Fang was silent for a long moment, then nodded his head, "You really did cause trouble."

And she even managed to get on Pei Yu’s bad side.

"So it’s better for me not to stay in the country for the time being," Although she was very afraid of Pei Yu, she wasn’t worried that he would do anything to her, not to mention Qin Fang, there was also Shen Zhiyi, she wouldn’t be mistreated, Qin Xiaoran mainly wanted to take this opportunity to relax abroad and avoid the agony of being dominated by her future mother-in-law, "I’ll come back after Brother Pei Yu has forgotten about this matter."

"Fiji won’t do," Qin Fang chuckled, "No wonder Brother Pei out of the blue sent me a plane ticket yesterday, forget about it, you better head to Turkmenistan."

Qin Xiaoran was stunned, "Where??"

Qin Fang couldn’t hide his gleeful smile, "The Middle East."

Qin Xiaoran: "..."

Don’t panic, she could still transfer flights, Fiji was still an option.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t know that Pei Yu had even arranged an overseas trip for Qin Xiaoran, so out of concern, she called Qin Xiaoran, but as soon as the call connected, Pei Yu came in.

He had been relatively free these past two days and simply decided to work from home, of course, at her place, and as it happened, Shen Zhiyi had most of the day off to prepare for the evening’s red carpet event, so the two of them stayed in the same space almost all the time.

Shen Zhiyi had barely waited for him to leave before making the call, but he came back with a cup of coffee.

Upon entering, Pei Yu glanced at the way she was holding her phone, and Shen Zhiyi couldn’t very well hang up in front of him—that would only make her look more suspicious.

She had no choice but to ask indirectly, "Do you have any plans recently?"

"Ha, Sister Zhiyi, don’t you know yet?" Qin Xiaoran used a tone of complaint, somewhat excited.

To remind her that Pei Yu was still nearby, Shen Zhiyi quickly interjected and reached for the cup of coffee on the table beside Pei Yu, "Cough, I’m a bit thirsty, I’ll drink your coffee."

Pei Yu, who still had his laptop on his knees, looked at her with a half-smile, "Hmm, sure."

She was quite unnatural when lying or feeling guilty.

As soon as Pei Yu spoke, Qin Xiaoran immediately stopped talking, and when she spoke again, her tone had completely changed.

"Sister Zhiyi is asking what I’m planning to do next? I plan to visit Turkmenistan, I’ve longed to be there, I’ll stay for a while."

Shen Zhiyi was taken aback, "Turkmenistan?"

That seemed to be a very conservative and closed country in Central Asia, wondering if she was planning to travel there?

She couldn’t help but cast a glance at Pei Yu beside her, who appeared calm, as if focused on his work.

After a short conversation, they hung up, and Qin Xiaoran secretly messaged her not to worry, she would take a detour to enjoy some time in Fiji, Turkmenistan? She’d act as if that wasn’t even an option.

"Done talking?" Pei Yu took the cup that she had drunk from and sipped a few mouthfuls, "Feel relieved now?"

He just issued Qin Xiaoran a little warning, the leniency was boundless.

Shen Zhiyi, taking the view of a petty person sizing up a gentleman, felt somewhat embarrassed. She took the initiative to kiss his cheek, her eyes curving into a smile, "Mmm, I’m relieved."

She hadn’t expected that Pei Yu had just given Qin Xiaoran an opportunity to go abroad and relax.

"She’s happy about it," Pei Yu, not satisfied with just a kiss on the cheek, pressed his lips onto hers and said with narrowed eyes, "She can dodge that future mother-in-law."

Shen Zhiyi was surprised and allowed him to pull her into his embrace, sitting on his lap, "How do you know everything?"

How extensive were his information channels? Not only did he have a thorough understanding of her schedule, but he also knew everything about Qin Xiaoran’s affairs. It seemed that there was nothing he couldn’t find out.

"The wedding is drawing near, yet she still has time to drag you to a fashion show, seems she’s pretty free," Pei Yu said casually, "so I just looked into it a bit."

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the time to pay attention to these things.

"Did you have someone investigate me too?" Shen Zhiyi asked curiously.

Pei Yu stiffened slightly, not expecting the question to boomerang back to him, and attempted to change the subject, "When is her wedding date?"

"The day after New Year’s," Shen Zhiyi didn’t notice his discomfort, nor was she easily sidetracked, "What did you investigate about me?"

Pei Yu didn’t want to hide it from her, but he also feared that she would mind. His face became emotionless, his answer vague, "A little."

"How much is ’a little’?"

Shen Zhiyi always had the feeling that Pei Yu knew her like the back of his hand. She hadn’t paid attention to it before, but now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that this feeling wasn’t unfounded.

Work schedules were one thing, he could find out about those from just about anybody, but he seemed to also know about her private itineraries, including her private address.

Not every single detail, perhaps, but he knew about eighty percent of it.

She shifted in his arms, straddling him face-to-face, and, seeing that he was keeping his head down in reluctance to respond, she lifted his face and asked thoughtfully, "Did you know that I once went to Huating to find you?"

That was the time she witnessed him using violence.

Shen Zhiyi hadn’t told Pei Yu that she had gone to look for him, thinking he was unaware. Now, upon reflection, she wasn’t so sure.

Sure enough, Pei Yu nodded slightly, acknowledging it.

His expression turned slightly cold, not out of animosity toward Shen Zhiyi, but because he didn’t want to remember those events. He had always hidden his violent side from her and would prefer she never found out about it for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as he wished, and that incident had occurred on the day she left him.

"I know it was Xun Zhouxing," Shen Zhiyi said softly. Her investigators weren’t as capable, and she had learned the truth relatively late. But it wasn’t hard to guess; just a little connection and it made sense. There were few other reasons that could provoke Pei Yu to such anger, apart from matters concerning her.

"Did you find out about my visit afterwards?"

"The day after you left Huating," recognizing that she didn’t seem to mind his investigation, Pei Yu relaxed, "Knowing it now doesn’t matter."

She had already left.

"What else did you investigate?" Shen Zhiyi, likewise not too keen on delving into these matters, lightened the mood with a smile, "Did you check my preferences? What style of clothes I like to wear, what food I prefer, sweet or salty..."

"Need to guess?" Pei Yu raised an eyebrow, composed and relaxed, "A few observations are enough to tell."

The extent of his attentiveness to her was evident.
