Chapter 81: Misunderstanding
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Unfortunately, Su Ning could not say anything.
She indeed had a boyfriend, but everyone knew that Lin Tianhao was Su Yu’s boyfriend before this. Even if they had broken up, if it was revealed that he was now Su Ning’s boyfriend, wouldn’t it be obvious that Su Ning had stolen Su Yu’s man?
!!
This did not match the image she had painstakingly built!
She had already played the role of a good sister to the bone. If she were to be exposed now, her image would collapse. Even if she were to spout nonsense about someone else being her boyfriend, not only would her lie be exposed when they investigated it, but it would also be a slap to the Lin family’s face. It could be said that Su Ning was in a serious dilemma!
For a moment, she froze on the spot. She felt that her life was dark. She could not help but cry out loud.
…
Pei Tianlin and Su Yu walked out together. They bumped into someone who was in a hurry.
Seeing that Su Yu was unharmed, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief and said, “What exactly happened? You sent a message to me to call the police. I almost thought that you were in danger! Fortunately, you came out before the agreed time. Otherwise, I would’ve really called the police.”
“Thank you, Shen Qing! I did encounter danger just now, so I sent you a message in a moment of desperation.”
Previously, when Su Yu realized that the situation was not right, she immediately sent a message to Shen Qing. She told him to call the police if she did not come out in 20 minutes. She was thinking about the worst-case scenario, so she left herself a backup plan.
As soon as Shen Qing saw the message, he rushed over.
“Ah, I see. I’m relieved that you’re fine!”
After just saying a few words, he felt as if his body was about to be frozen by Pei Tianlin’s gaze.
He glanced at Pei Tianlin’s warning gaze and hurriedly said, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Without waiting for Su Yu’s response, he turned around and left.
“Be careful on the road!”
Su Yu was very puzzled about her good friend rushing over but leaving almost immediately every time. At this moment, Pei Tianlin had already let go of Su Yu’s hand and returned to the car.
Su Yu followed and got into the car as well, but she sensed that there was something wrong with Pei Tianlin’s mood. His aura was extremely cold. 1
Hence, she was careful not to approach him.
She was naturally very grateful to Pei Tianlin for helping her out at the banquet just now.
However, when he said that the two of them were just a couple and not husband and wife, she felt a little grumpy and thought that Pei Tianlin might still have reservations about her. Actually, she did not blame him for that. It was just that since he had announced that the relationship they shared was between a girlfriend and a boyfriend, she naturally did not want to overstep her boundaries. It was good to keep a distance.
After all, it was just a contractual marriage.
“Thank you for coming in time!”
“Is that so? Why do I feel that my presence was a little unnecessary?”
Pei Tianlin’s tone carried a rare trace of resentment.
As her husband, shouldn’t he be the first person she thought of when asking for help if she was in danger? Was he inferior to her friend?
In his opinion, she did not need him!
Su Yu did not understand what Pei Tianlin meant. She did not know how to respond. In the end, she still could not figure it out and could only turn to look out of the window. She pretended not to hear him.
Seeing that Su Yu did not react, Pei Tianlin felt even more uncomfortable. He had never experienced such a sour feeling in his heart.
‘Could it be that she really doesn’t need me?’
This realization made him almost unable to breathe, and his heart ached. However, he did not want to give up just like that, so he grabbed Su Yu’s hand and placed it on his lap.
Su Yu was shocked. She turned around and saw Pei Tianlin looking at her with a dark expression. “Do you really not need me anymore?”
Su Yu was stunned and a little puzzled, but she could understand what he meant now. She quickly shook her head. It was a huge surprise for her that Pei Tianlin made an appearance. Earlier, almost everyone she saw in the room was the other party’s people. No matter how calm she was, she was still afraid of being drowned by their criticisms. It was impossible for her not to be afraid.
It was just that she knew that Pei Tianlin was very busy, and their relationship was a strange one. Hence, she did not dare to have too much hope, so she reached out to her good friend instead. When she thought about how this man could casually buy over a 100-billion-yuan corporation as a gift to her, she was worried that she would be troubling him over a small matter like this. She was worried that he would blame her. In the end, it boiled down to them misunderstanding each other.
