Extreme Pampering

After that day, Shen Zhiyi never saw the young male supporting actor in the cast again. He was exposed for having a history of harassing female classmates, and his role was taken over by the director’s nephew, ending his acting career just as it had begun.

After hearing all this gossip from Xiaodong, she hung up the phone and went upstairs to help Pei Yu pack his luggage. He was going overseas, and the round trip would take nearly a week. This was the first time they had been apart for so long since getting married.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t feel much about it. She was used to traveling around frequently herself, but Pei Yu had been more silent than usual since the day he confirmed his itinerary, seemingly in low spirits.

However, because Shen Zhiyi was filming, the couple only got to see each other in the evenings, and their time together was not long. She didn’t pay much attention, as Pei Yu’s mood was always poor whenever they were apart.

It was the day Pei Yu was leaving. She had been filming night scenes and only finished work at dawn. She went back to the hotel and slept without being able to see him off, managing only to make a few minutes’ call.

Ironically, from the day after he left, the progress of Shen Zhiyi’s filming slowed down, allowing more relaxation, and she had more time to spend in Huating.

As usual, she talked to Pei Yu on the phone every night. It was still early, so she watched a horror movie with the butler. Watching it was a mistake—she was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweat.

Almost subconsciously, Shen Zhiyi touched the spot beside her—empty. Her heart rate had not yet slowed down. Thinking that Pei Yu wasn’t by her side, her mood suddenly worsened.

She couldn’t sleep anymore and walked out of the bedroom to call Pei Yu.

The call was answered by Secretary Qin, as Pei Yu was in a meeting.

"Do you need me to give the phone to Chairman Pei now?"
