Chapter 218: Just Like This

Shen Heyu recounted her conversation with Lu Yunlan truthfully, but omitted the part about Lu Yi.

She knew very well that she couldn't let Pei Yansi hear it.

Otherwise, with his jealous nature, who knew what kind of inappropriate actions he might take.

However, Pei Yansi seemed not to trust her, casually pulled a chair over, sat next to her, and gently stroked the palm of her hand. His expression was indulgent yet ambiguously cold.

"Is that really all?" he asked softly.

"That's all," Shen Heyu firmly replied.

Pei Yansi acknowledged with a hmm, uncertain whether he truly believed her words.

Shen Heyu covertly observed him, trying to discern something from his expressions, but he never revealed his true thoughts outwardly; she couldn't make out anything.

Just when she thought this matter was over, she heard Pei Yansi say, "I hope you're not lying to me."

After he spoke, he didn't give her a chance to respond. He slightly bent down and gently kissed her forehead.
