Chapter 394 Because It's You
The date of my return to China was finally set for the 23rd, so I could spend a day dealing with Old Mrs. Chen and make it to the show.

When Pei Yan saw the flight information, he thought Qiu Yu was amazing; she could guess it correctly.

He considered a possibility—

Honestly, you two didn't have some kind of pre-arranged agreement, did you?

It's said that love makes people stupid, but it seems to be the opposite for Pei Yan.

But Qiu Yu felt that he had stumbled upon this by chance. After saying no against his will, he turned around and asked Fang Zheng to reschedule the events after the 24th.

"If the meeting can be held online, then it should be held online; if not, it should be postponed for two days."

"Don't bother me unless it's important. Leave a message if you need anything."

After a brief explanation, the head secretary knew without a second thought that he was going to see the boss's wife.

He wasn't as lucky as Xu Meng, who could enjoy shipping couples. Right now, he could only pray that the person went happily and came back without any surprises.

Otherwise, if you encounter any troubles, you'll only suffer the consequences yourself.

Whether or not God heard Fang Zheng's wish, everything was fine when Shen Zhaoyi and the others returned to S City.

Upon landing at the airport, Zhou Yi and Lao Wang came together. Initially, they planned to split up and have Pei Yan go directly back to the convoy.

But now, no matter what they say, the person refuses to leave.

"Trying to freeload again?"

“Yes, I’ll freeload a meal. I’ll take a taxi back later!” Pei Yan suddenly gripped the luggage tightly, afraid of being rejected.

Shen Zhaoyi had long understood his feelings; he clearly couldn't bear to part with her, but he just wouldn't say it directly.

"Alright, I happen to have something I wanted to ask you."

Secretly pleased, Pei Yan got into the car with them, completely ignoring what the other person was going to ask.

To avoid disturbing them, Xu Meng turned and got into Zhou Yi's car.

On the way back, Lao Wang's tolerance had gradually improved, and he no longer enjoyed studying the complex emotions between young people in the rearview mirror as he did at the beginning.

In the quiet back row, Shen Zhaoyi was busy getting to know the details from Cong Lang. No one expected that this old lady Chen was an "angel investor." Although she had withdrawn from the competition, she still had some reputational titles.

Ms. Shen, we've tried contacting them several times, but they've all turned us away.

Do you think there's any way to do this?

The lawyer phrased it tactfully, but what he really wanted to ask Shen Zhaoyi was whether she could find some tougher methods.

Although he acts like a rogue, you can't really confront him head-on.

"Let me think of a solution."

I will give you an answer tomorrow.

Shen Zhaoyi gave Cong Lang some reassurance, and after pondering for a moment, she clicked on Cheng Yubai's profile picture.

It's just a charm that you bought with money, like everyone else has one.

On the screen, the chat history was still stuck on those two sarcastic questions from when I first arrived in Langdu last week. I didn't want to reply then, but now it's a bit awkward.

After all, we need his help later.

As I was organizing my thoughts, a sea urchin-shaped head suddenly appeared next to me.

Pei Yan stared at Cheng Yubai's name, his tone somewhat displeased: "I'm right next to you, and you still have to find someone else to chat with?"

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. You can just live with those scandals for the rest of your life."

Shen Zhaoyi pretended to put her phone back in her bag, as if she didn't want to interfere anymore.

"Dirty secrets?" Pei Yan was jolted awake by those two words. "What does my business have to do with Cheng Yubai?"

"It's alright, I just need to ask him for a small favor."

Old Mrs. Chen has leverage, so of course she has to find someone even stronger to challenge. Coincidentally, Cheng Yubai seems to have connections in the government.

At worst, we can just give that director some sweet talk and invest some projects in him. Maybe when we get old, we can be like that Chen guy, riding on his coattails and wielding his power.
She had already planned her escape route, but Pei Yan was being stubborn at this crucial moment. "First I troubled Mu Mu, and now I need to find Cheng Yu Bai. Isn't there anything I can do to help with my affairs?"

"If you could contribute, why haven't we made any progress in over two years?" Shen Zhaoyi showed no mercy and laid out the facts.

Even at a time like this, he's still clinging to his pride. Does that mean he's not the only one suffering?

Jiang Ye's complaints, Xiao Yuan's maneuvering, and a group of people were busy and overwhelmed by this trivial matter, while the culprit even had the leisure to be jealous!

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Zhaoyi slapped him across the face.

Of course, it wasn't a real slap in the face.

Not everyone is like Cheng Yubai.

Considering there were outsiders present, it landed elsewhere with a "thud".

The pain shooting through his arm made Pei Yan's expression instantly turn aggrieved.

"I was wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"..." The previous righteous indignation turned into silence.

In fact, Pei Yan, as a victim, was also quite upset about being unjustly accused one crime after another, and at this critical juncture, he really didn't want to owe too many favors.

Especially those of your love rivals.

This group now includes Qiu Yu, Mu Mu, and Cheng Yu Bai, who will soon be included.

"Can't you just behave and listen to me?" Shen Zhaoyi sighed, giving him a slap followed by a loving caress. "Don't make things too difficult for me."

Once this matter is resolved, we must at least get Pei Yan back with the annual championship. He'll be showered with prize money and endorsements, which will be a testament to his hard work.

Back at the villa, a long-lost sense of ease washed over me; it was as if, without realizing it, I had come to regard this place as home.

Shen Zhaoyi ignored everything else and went into the living room to let the rich man fly around for a bit.

Pei Yan, who was following behind, had a stiff expression as he moved his feet and sat down in the rocking chair by the window.

Overjoyed, he almost forgot about the little guy's existence.

"Are you still afraid of birds?" Shen Zhaoyi held up the tycoon in one hand and turned around to see this scene.

Pei Yan emphasized, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't like it."

That thing loves to stand on top of your head, and the feeling of your feet and its bite is really strange. The most important thing is that you don't want to be on the bottom.

Just as I finished explaining, Shen Zhaoyi strode over and, before she even stopped, had already reached out her hand.

Strangely, when facing her, Pei Yan's usually proud reaction ability was almost useless; he could only feel the hand finally landing on his head.

"Like this?"

As Shen Zhaoyi asked the question, she rubbed her hands haphazardly without any method.

Seeing that she wasn't rejected, she concluded, "I'm still afraid of birds, it has nothing to do with where they land."

"It's related!" Pei Yan stammered, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out half a sentence—

"Because is you……"

"Chirp!" The tycoon's sudden shout interrupted his thoughts that were about to be revealed.

Pei Yan glared at him instinctively.

See? He said he didn't get along with this bird, didn't he?
Why did they have to come out at this particular time to make their presence known?

Shen Zhaoyi chuckled and let the wealthy man go, indicating that Pei Yan could continue. She wanted to hear what he had to say.

The warm sunlight shone in through the glass window, carrying the second half of the sentence into my ears.

"Because is you."

"So I don't mind anything."
