Chapter 81 (2/2)

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.
