Chapter 15: Chapter 15: ‘Meeting the Beautiful Lady.
The top floor of Nanyuan was different from the other levels: besides two restrooms, there was a large private room. Shen Zhiyi was led in by a waiter, and the first thing that caught her eye was the Chinese-style acid-stained wood-carved window. A shelf displaying antique curios stood in the outer room, and through several small compartments, she could glimpse the scene inside. With a quick glance, Shen Zhiyi saw three or four young men entering her view.
The men were gathered around a sofa, drinking and chatting; Pei Yu was nowhere to be seen, and their voices faintly reached her ears.
“It’s really rare today, how come you decided to come out and hang out?”
The man who replied had a deeper voice, “If I didn’t come out to see people, the brothers would think I’m seriously ill.”
“Ptooey, ptooey, Songzhi, stop joking around. Our Brother Pei is tough as nails, I bet he’ll continue to plague us for decades more.”
Under the men’s urging, the person who had secluded himself in a corner finally condescended to speak. His tone was the usual cool and lazy, and Shen Zhiyi could almost picture the indifferent light falling through his eyelashes as he looked down.
“So noisy.”
“Hey, if you find us noisy, why haven’t you left yet? Just you always have problems.”
Shen Zhiyi was led by the waiter to a small tea room. A Tang-style screen painted with figures of court ladies separated this area from the inner room, but she could still hear the laughter and chatter from the other side.
If Pei Yu was here for a get-together with friends, why did he ask her to come? Shen Zhiyi felt somewhat uneasy, deliberately choosing the most hidden chair to sit on. Although she did not want to eavesdrop, every word from the other side still reached her without omission.
As several friends complained about Pei Yu being boring, the waiter approached and whispered a few words in his ear; then, the man finally stood up from the sofa, straightened his shirt cuffs, his face showing a trace of pleasure.
“Hey,” Qin Fang said, surprised, “where are you going?”
Pei Yu arched an eyebrow, his tone leisurely and seemingly joking, “To meet a beauty.”
After saying that, he left his friends and walked to the outer room.
Qin Fang was dumbfounded and asked his brothers, “Where did he get a beauty to meet?”
However, everyone knew that Pei Yu would not joke about such matters.
The Pei Yu going to meet a beauty turned into the small tea room, separated by the screen and today, he was dressed rather casually in a black shirt that outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist while adding a hint of aloofness. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable, he had unbuttoned the top collar, exposing a glimpse of his collarbone.
Before Shen Zhiyi could speak, he bent down to hug her, his head tilted as he smelled the faint alcohol on her. He frowned slightly.
With the experience from last time, Shen Zhiyi quickly said, “I didn’t drink this time.”

She pursed her lips, “President Qin didn’t make me drink.”
“Hmm,” Pei Yu leaned forward to embrace her entirely, resting his hands by her sides. As he tilted his head, his jawline looked sharp and superior, he casually said, “He wouldn’t dare.”
Shen Zhiyi asked softly, “Was it your idea to ask for the script changes by the investment team?”
“Are you upset?”
Pei Yu looked down at her, implicitly admitting that he indeed had instigated the changes.
But rather than seeking praise or acknowledgment, he first asked this question
Shen Zhiyi was taken aback by the question and touched her own face, “Do I look upset?”
“No.”
Where her fingertips had touched, Pei Yu bent down to kiss, then slightly pulled back, maintaining a nearly kissing pose, “I took the liberty, afraid you’d be upset.”
Although he said he was afraid, his face showed none of it, always seeming like a jest.
Shen Zhiyi earnestly answered, “I’m not upset.”
She was just surprised because she had never thought he would do such a thing.
