Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Visited by the wife of Qin Fangru.

In Jiali Hotel within the film base, Shen Zhiyi finished a night scene and returned to her room to rest when she encountered a few actors she had worked with before in the elevator area. They chatted briefly, and the others tactfully reminded her, “Huo Heng is also staying at this hotel.”

It wasn’t uncommon to run into other artists at hotels frequented by film crews, so Shen Zhiyi didn’t react much, but Xiaodong had already become anxious, looking around vigilantly each time the elevator doors opened and closed.

“Don’t be nervous, it’s no big deal if we run into him.”

Interestingly, she, the person involved, was the calmest one.

Xiaodong looked unconvinced, “Who knows if some paparazzi will sneak in to take photos and misinterpret them, and Huo Heng will definitely spout nonsense when he sees you. By the way, he hasn’t harassed you again lately, has he?”

Just after Shen Zhiyi had been injured, Huo Heng had contacted her very frequently. His messages were filled with apologies and hints of wanting to rekindle their relationship, leaving Shen Zhiyi baffled.

He was still clandestinely dating Xu Xia, so what past was there to rekindle with her?

In any case, she ignored him, avoided attending the same events as much as possible, and did not want to be dragged into another public controversy. Over time, Huo Heng’s attempts had died down as well.

“No,” she said as they exited the elevator and walked down the quiet corridor, lit only by the warm yellow lights. “I have to start makeup at five tomorrow, can you wake up for that?”

Xiaodong suddenly lost all enthusiasm, “…I can, I should be able to.”

To align with the film crew’s schedule, sometimes they had to wake up very early since makeup and styling alone took at least two hours. Every time Xiaodong arrived drowsy, Shen Zhiyi was already well-prepared, which made her feel quite ashamed.

This assistant role was a bit too slack.

Not confident in herself, Xiaodong swiped her key card and pushed open the door, seriously suggesting, “Why don’t I sleep with you tonight? That way, you can just wake me up when you get up.”

They often shared a room with the assistant when accommodations were tight on set, and Shen Zhiyi didn’t mind, “That’s fine…”

She looked up and froze. The ceiling lights lit up one by one from the entryway, revealing the tall and distinct figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Pei Yu turned to look at her and asked unhurriedly, “That’s fine for what?”

He must have just arrived not long ago, still neatly dressed, not even his tie loosened, as if he had come straight from a formal event. He had an air of sober propriety about him. His hair was combed back, fully revealing his eyes and brows, adding to his sharpness.

This was his first time coming directly to the film crew’s hotel, and Shen Zhiyi instinctively calculated how many days it had been since she had been back to Huating… well, only three or four days.

“I didn’t know you would be coming.”

Shen Zhiyi turned to Xiaodong, “I guess that’s not possible now.”

Xiaodong: “…Haha, I was just kidding just now.”

She slowly backed away and directly left the room, “Good night, good night.”

The hotel room used a faint tea fragrance, but with Pei Yu’s arrival, there was now a hint of agarwood scent, much like his own powerful presence that was impossible to ignore. Before Shen Zhiyi could speak, he had embraced her by the waist and kissed her, her instinctive reaction being to clench his dangling tie.

A few minutes later, when their lips parted just slightly, Pei Yu looked down at her fingers still clutching his tie and let out a helpless chuckle, “If you can’t breathe, do you want me to experience the same feeling?”

Breathing heavily, Shen Zhiyi released her grip after he pointed it out, feeling as though his teasing tone was mocking her poor kissing skills.

She was always passive, always compliant, and this had indulged his assertiveness.

He stroked her slender back to help her catch her breath and, holding her waist, prompted her to sit on the arm of the sofa, then leaned in to continue kissing her.

It had been nearly four days since they last met, and she hadn’t sent a single message. Although he knew she was busy filming, he still felt uncomfortable, suspecting that she was close to forgetting about him. He had no choice but to come over and make his presence felt.

The atmosphere in the room was tranquil, the voice-activated light at the entrance had gone off by itself, leaving only the warm-colored chandelier in the living room alight. Outside the hallway, a series of footsteps could be heard.

“Which room is it?”

Madam Qin’s face looked awful; she was extremely angry but had to maintain her dignity in front of others, tightly clutching her phone.

Just two hours earlier, the private investigator she had hired finally helped her find the young mistress her husband was keeping—an entertainer, and the adulterous couple was supposed to meet in the hotel tonight.

She had known from the start of their marriage that Qin Fangru was not a faithful man, and among the two of them, only she had truly invested her emotions. So over the years, she had turned a blind eye—but what else could she do? Weren’t all men like that?

But this time, she couldn’t bear it—today was their wedding anniversary. How could he be with another woman on this day?

Madam Qin was seething with rage, her anger at being humiliated even overshadowing her heartache. She called for the hotel manager, adamant about dragging Qin Fangru’s hidden mistress out into the open.

“Madam Qin, without the guests’ permission, we really cannot divulge any information.”

Mmost of the occupants in this hotel were celebrities. If information was leaked at will, paparazzi and obsessive fans would have run amok long ago.

Knowing that a hotel manager wouldn’t dare, Madam Qin didn’t bother to chat and directly contacted the hotel’s higher-ups. Before she could dial the number, a young girl passing by was on the phone, walking and talking, “…Xu… seems to be staying in 8506…”

After catching a few key words, Madam Qin realized that the room right in front of her was indeed 8506.

She sneered. Once the phone call connected, she pressured the other party to have the hotel provide her with a key card.

The hotel manager was on the verge of tears, unable to imagine the commotion that was about to ensue. “Madam Qin, since you already know the room, why not just knock on the door?”

Having them provide a key card would be like asking them to offend their guests.

Madam Qin said coldly, “To catch a cheater, you need to catch them red-handed.”

If Qin Fangru didn’t care for her dignity, she saw no need to care for his reputation.

The manager, with a pained expression, handed her the key card. Madam Qin took a deep breath and forcefully pushed open the door.

“Come out here!”

Almost in the moment the door was pushed open, Pei Yu was pushed away as well. Shen Zhiyi reacted swiftly, almost instinctively pushing the still unresponsive Pei Yu to the inside, furrowing her brows as she looked towards the door.

Madam Qin only caught a glimpse of a man’s shirttail flashing by, then she saw Shen Zhiyi, whose beautiful face and swollen lips made her once again realize the man’s betrayal, hatred glimmering in her eyes.

She had always avoided facing the fact of Qin Fangru’s infidelity, unwilling to see the faces of those he kept, knowing she couldn’t compete. But now, there was no avoiding it.

She walked in, maintaining her last bit of dignity without yelling, “Let him come out and see me. What kind of man hides behind a woman?”

Shen Zhiyi blocked her path. “Who are you?”

“Me?”

Madam Qin said with loathing, “I am the wife of the man you seduced!”
