Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Please Don’t Ignore the Gentleman, Okay?

Having learned from the previous experience, Secretary Qin swiftly handed over the mobile phone when permission was obtained. The meeting continued on the computer, and Pei Yu, with his eyes slightly lowered in a cold demeanor, casually glanced at the new message.

Secretary Qin carefully observed, hoping the content of the message would satisfy Pei Yu, so that he wouldn’t have to work overtime there if Pei Yu decided to return to Huating today.

It was impossible to tell what Pei Yu was thinking, still maintaining an indifferent expression, his fingertips holding an unlit cigarette. His gaze shifted from the phone to the brightly lit night scene outside the window, and for quite some time, he said nothing.

They continued working until past midnight.

The transnational meeting finally concluded, it was still daytime there while it was the second half of the night domestically. Secretary Qin neatly packed the materials, preparing to leave work.

“Contact the driver,” the cigarette between his fingers remained unlit as Pei Yu carelessly tossed it into the trash, his eyes and voice weary, emotionlessly saying, “Return to Huating.”

When they arrived at Huating, dawn was just breaking. Pei Yu sat in the car for a long time until the streak of dawn gradually enveloped him, then he picked up his coat and headed back to the main building.

The butler had already received the news of his return and knew he still had work today, so he might not stay long and had prepared a cup of hot tea for him to refresh himself.

Pei Yu glanced at it, his expression cold as he lowered his eyes, “Get coffee.”

He didn’t like tea.

The butler stood without moving, a slight smile on his face, “This is the tea set Miss Shen brought back yesterday. Don’t you want to take a closer look?”

It was a set of white jade tea ware, warm and delicate in texture. Although Pei Yu did not like tea, it didn’t mean he couldn’t appreciate it.

He looked up, meeting the butler’s meaningful gaze, and realized that this set of tea ware was actually bought for him.

Silent for a long moment, Pei Yu drank the tea in one gulp and went upstairs.

He first went to the secondary bedroom. The bedding was neatly arranged as if no one had ever slept there. Pei Yu paused, as if remembering something, then turned around to search the master bedroom.

The empty and tranquil bedroom was filled with a faint scent of agarwood mixed with a hint of women’s perfume, making it sweet. Shen Zhiyi was sleeping soundly, half of her face hidden under the dark grey comforter, making her skin appear even whiter.

Not wanting to disturb her, Pei Yu casually sat down, leaning on the bed as he watched her sleep, his fingertips gently brushing away a strand of hair sticking to her cheek.

In the past, it took some effort to ask her to come here to sleep, but now that he didn’t return, she seemed willing to come to this empty room.

“Sleeping quite soundly.”

Pei Yu silently moved his lips, his expression listless, circling her wrist and holding it loosely, his low voice carrying a hint of resentment, “Do you care about me so little?”

Not visiting her at the hospital was okay, not replying to her messages was okay, not returning to Huating was also okay, did she really not care about anything?

Because she didn’t care, it didn’t matter.

When Shen Zhiyi woke up, Pei Yu had already left. She glanced at the tea set on the table that had yet to be cleared away and then looked at the butler, “Didn’t he say anything?”

In fact, she had waited for him almost all night, only falling into a deep sleep in the early morning. She was so sound asleep that she didn’t even know he had returned.

“He didn’t say anything,” the butler also felt worried, “I thought he had woken you up.”

Otherwise, why would he have stayed upstairs for so long.

Shen Zhiyi quietly sat on the sofa for a while, thinking about Pei Yu’s behavior these days. Perhaps because of the incident with Huo Heng, he had already grown tired and displeased with her. What would happen next?

Would he end their relationship because he was fed up?

Shen Zhiyi suddenly didn’t know what to do. She had messaged Pei Yu and sent him gifts the day before, hoping to make him happy and calm him down, but if doing nothing meant their relationship could end just like that, wouldn’t it be better for her?

“Miss Shen,” the butler bent down to tidy up the tea set, his voice tinged with helplessness, “please don’t ignore the master, will you?”

Locking eyes with her, Shen Zhiyi felt as though her thoughts had been seen through, her lips pressed tightly together as she struggled inwardly.

“The master only arrived at dawn, and according to Secretary Qin, came straight here after finishing his work, without any rest. He just sat upstairs for a while. Miss Shen, the master isn’t usually this busy; he is acting out of spite.”

The butler sighed, “Having been treated abroad for several years, his health is already not good. If he keeps pushing himself like this…”

Her words trailed off, Shen Zhiyi’s heart softened and she couldn’t help but ask, “What illness does he have?”

“I’m not sure of the specifics,” the butler gestured to his chest, “but I heard it’s a heart condition.”

A heart condition?

Shen Zhiyi’s breath hitched, Pei Yu’s occasionally pale face flashed before her eyes, making her heart ache even more. She made up her mind, “What are his duties for today?”

The film crew had wrapped up their shooting, and there were two days left before she joined Director Meng’s team. Shen Zhiyi had only a magazine photo shoot today, and her schedule was not tight.

Leaving Huating, she sat in the nanny van and discussed with Wang Feifei, “Can we move up the magazine shoot a bit?”

“It’s early enough, how much earlier do you want to make it?”

Wang Feifei was puzzled, “Do you have something else you need to do?”

As her manager, Wang Feifei knew that Shen Zhiyi neither had close friends inside nor outside the circle and led a very simple private life; apart from work, she just rested at home.

“Yes,” Shen Zhiyi named a place, “I want to visit it.”

Wang Feifei recognized the name, “Hot Spring Winery?”

A high-end and exclusive resort.

Gauging the situation, she didn’t ask further, “Okay, I’ll contact the magazine to try and arrange it earlier.”

Since Hot Spring Winery was far away, the car ride lengthy, Shen Zhiyi rushed there as soon as the shoot was over. According to Secretary Qin, Pei Yu had a meeting in the morning and was accompanying some elders to the winery for relaxation afterward; they wouldn’t stay overnight but would leave for a business trip in another province by nightfall. If she wanted to see him today, she would need to catch him before he left the winery.

“Zhiyi, that’s Song Ran’s car.”

The car window rolled down, and Song Ran, in another car, greeted Shen Zhiyi, “Where are you headed?”

They were not close, but for some reason, Song Ran’s attitude had become warmer; Shen Zhiyi politely replied, “Just a personal matter.”

“Are you going somewhere fun?” Song Ran seemed interested, “Can I join you?”

“Why bother getting cozy when we’re not close;” worried that she might actually tag along, Xiaodong preemptively objected, “I’m sorry, Miss Song, but the place we are going is by appointment only, and you can’t get in without one.”

Unperturbed by Xiaodong’s harsh tone, Song Ran still smiled and asked, “What place is that?”

Xiaodong named the place, emphasizing, “Maybe next time we can go together, Miss Song.”

The place indeed needed an appointment, and Song Ran let it go, “Alright then, have fun, Zhiyi.”

Watching Shen Zhiyi’s car drive away, she leisurely dialed a number, “…sent you the address, don’t blame me if it’s not crowded, oh and I’ve sent you the model of the bag I like.”

The person on the line responded, and she laughed, “All the effort I put into cozying up to cold faces is just to gather intelligence for you, Director Xu, you better remember my favor.”
