Chapter 48: An Unexpected Change

Su Yu’s beautiful face heated up slightly. This fellow actually dared to claim that she was his woman in public. What was he doing?

However, when she recalled Pei Tianlin’s cold attitude from before, her burning heart instantly turned cold.

“I have to remain calm at all times. We’re only in a contractual marriage. The time limit is three years. We share no other relationship.”

Shen Qing sized up Pei Tianlin curiously and went to Su Yu’s side to ask in a low voice, “What’s going on? What does ‘my woman’ mean?”

Smack!

Su Yu could not help but hit Shen Qing’s waist with her elbow and glare at him.

Hiss!

“Know what to say and when to say it!”

At this moment, she did not know how to explain the situation. She could not just tell Shen Qing that the two of them were legally married, right? Wouldn’t the other party explode?

Pei Tianlin glanced at the necklace Su Yu had chosen. It was priced at 30,000 yuan. The price was really low.

However, since Su Yu chose it, he would not refuse.

“I want both.”

Pei Tianlin would definitely not let his woman suffer. Since she liked this style, he would buy both necklaces.

The sales assistant was very smart this time. Before Pei Tianlin could say anything, she quickly wrapped up the two necklaces. Then, she swiped the card smoothly and returned the card with both hands.

Pei Tianlin looked at the necklaces in his hands. From the workmanship to the materials, they looked very ordinary, but since Su Yu liked them, these two necklaces were considered valuable.

After putting away the things, he looked up and saw Shen Qing approaching Su Yu. He said something to her in a low voice. They were really too close, which made him very unhappy.

Immediately, his sharp gaze landed on Shen Qing as he unleashed a cold aura.

Shen Qing was still speaking the words from just now when he suddenly felt a bone-piercing coldness.

This time, the feeling was even stronger than before. It was as if the man wanted to shred him into pieces.

He turned around and immediately met Pei Tianlin’s cold eyes.

“Haha, the weather today is pretty good!”

As he spoke, he retreated to a safe distance. He was filled with the desire to live.

As expected, after moving away, the oppressive feeling instantly dissipated.

“Su Yu, why don’t we go for a walk today?”

Immediately, Pei Tianlin’s gaze darkened. Although he did not say anything, the atmosphere was inexplicably solemn.

Shen Qing understood that if he continued to stay here, he would probably lose her life.

Hence, he quickly said, “Ah, I suddenly thought of something urgent. Su Yu, let’s set a date next time!”

Before Su Yu could say anything, he had already run far away.

Su Yu smiled as she watched Shen Qing’s figure disappear. Her originally irritable mood instantly relaxed.

All these years, Shen Qing’s existence had always been a ray of sunlight in her difficult life. She cherished their friendship very much.

As she was looking, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere beside her was a little off. She turned around and met Pei Tianlin’s deep eyes.

For some reason, she felt a little guilty under his gaze.

“Yes, well…”

Before she could finish, Pei Tianlin had already walked forward.

Su Yu’s eyes flickered slightly. She thought to herself, ‘Is it because I was too close to Shen Qing just now and we seemed a little intimate? Is this fellow jealous?

‘Hmph, he was so cold to me just now. Now, he’s jealous. Just what is he thinking?

‘Perhaps it’s because of the contract. Am I expected to save him some dignity in front of outsiders?’

Various guesses flashed past Su Yu’s mind. Seeing that Pei Tianlin was about to walk away, she hurriedly chased after him and got into his car.

In the car, Pei Tianlin did not say anything, making the atmosphere in the car abnormally solemn.

Su Yu opened her mouth a few times to explain herself, but when she saw the other party’s face, she could not say anything for some reason.

Su Yu did not know why she was a little lost when facing Pei Tianlin. Her heart was filled with frustration, so she did not explain and just stayed silent.

Suddenly, Pei Tianlin leaned over and placed a hand on her waist. His warm breath assaulted her face.

Su Yu jumped in shock and shrank back.

Pei Tianlin’s abnormal reaction today made her start protecting herself again. She did not even want to be intimate with Pei Tianlin anymore.

Facing Pei Tianlin’s pressure, however, her body did not resist at all. She could only close her eyes.

Even so, she was furious deep inside.

Wasn’t he previously cold toward her? Didn’t they agree that it was just a contractual marriage? What was he doing now?
