After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 245 - 243: I’m Still Unhappy

Qin Yun saw the push notification and instinctively frowned, her hand slipped and she clicked into it.

There were three pictures. In the first one, a woman stood in front of Pei Yan, smiling happily. Pei Yan lowered his head, his expression looked relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, appearing to be having a pleasant conversation.

In the second picture, it seemed like the woman had fallen, and Pei Yan had one hand in his pocket and was holding her up with the other.

In the third picture, they seemed to be discussing work. Pei Yan was frowning, while the woman gazed at him with eyes full of affection.

Looking at these three pictures, Qin Yun felt somewhat angry without knowing why. Although she knew Pei Yan’s character and assumed these were all deliberate hype, she still felt upset, as if her territory had been invaded.

The main point was, she really disliked seeing Pei Yan’s name alongside other women. It made her uncomfortable, though she had never experienced this discomfort before, she knew this reaction was quite abnormal.

Suddenly, she remembered what Yang Leqi said that night, seeing him with other women would make her unhappy, jealous.

Qin Yun touched her heart, which had just a moment ago throbbed with a brief pain, feeling a bit confused. Is this jealousy?

Does she like Pei Yan?

So when she normally blushed and her heart raced whenever Pei Yan got close, it wasn’t because he was being flirtatious, but just because it was Pei Yan?

If it were another man approaching, oh no, impossible. If she didn’t consent and deliberately controlled herself, that man probably wouldn’t even be near before he’d be sent flying away.

So, Pei Yan had long gained special privileges from her?

At this moment, Yang Leqi suddenly sat up in a panic and exclaimed, "Sister Yun! Quick, look at the trending topics!"

"Sorry, could you please leave for a moment, we have something to discuss." Yang Leqi said seriously to the two massage therapists.

This involves her ship! It hasn’t even sailed yet, how can it break apart!!

The two readily agreed, opened the door, and walked out.

Seeing the two had left, Yang Leqi immediately got up, sat beside Qin Yun, and analyzed the situation on her phone, "Sister Yun, it definitely isn’t true! It must be a misplacement."

"Mm." Qin Yun pursed her lips, still a bit lost in thought. So she actually liked Pei Yan all along.

But to think Pei Yan let someone take pictures!

He confessed to her last night, and today he’s ’tainted’!!

Unforgivable!!

"Sister Yun? What’s wrong?" Yang Leqi cautiously asked, seeing Qin Yun’s expression was a bit off.

The next second, Pei Yan’s call came in.

Yang Leqi saw Qin Yun’s phone ringing and reminded her, "Sister Yun, it’s Mr. Pei calling..."

She helped Qin Yun answer the call and handed it to her ear. Pei Yan’s low, slightly hoarse voice came through, "Qin Yun, give me ten minutes, I’ll explain this to you myself."

"Mr. Pei! We’re at the Xiangjiang spa." Yang Leqi quickly said, having overheard.

"Alright." Pei Yan responded and hung up directly.

Since the incident, Pei Yan had only said, "Your acting is amateurish, very pathetic."

His face remained cold, somber, and emitted an aura that warned people to keep away.

"What did Qin Yun say? Is she angry? This is all my fault, I shouldn’t have stepped in. You coming cleared the debt." Pei Yan’s manager anxiously asked.

"Pei Yan, please don’t blackball me. I just wanted to return to public view, I had no real intentions of climbing up. I can explain, really! Please trust me." Scandal protagonist Zhang Qian said, teary and disheveled.

"First tell me why, even though I deleted the photos from that person’s phone, they still appeared online?" Pei Yan’s manager asked coldly, seeing Pei Yan remained silent upon hearing Zhang Qian’s words.

"He synced them online. You know, because of that incident, nobody has approached me for auditions for quite some time. I haven’t been in front of audiences for several months. I thought this collaboration would be a chance to stir up some gossip and maintain some buzz. At night, I’d clarify it was just friendship between Pei Yan and me, nothing more." Zhang Qian explained, reminded of Pei Yan’s earlier words.

"It’s no longer up to you. If because of this, she won’t say yes to me, you’ll never appear before audiences again in this lifetime." Pei Yan said coldly, indifferent to her words.

Then he opened the car door and got in, shutting it, not willing even to share a ride with the scandalous protagonist from the photograph.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian covered her face with her hands and cried.

With no choice, Pei Yan’s manager had to join Zhang Qian in another car.

Ten minutes later, Pei Yan arrived at the spa and found their room.

Due to just having had a facial mask applied, Qin Yun’s face was smooth and fair, but her expression revealed her discontent.

The two locked eyes, neither speaking a word.

Yang Leqi was surprised to see Pei Yan arrived precisely in ten minutes, exciting her. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Then she saw Zhang Qian, who followed behind, and her expression soured, unhappily saying, "Mr. Pei, why did you bring her along?"

"Let her say it herself." Pei Yan coldly replied.

Zhang Qian realized this was her last chance, if Qin Yun wasn’t satisfied, Pei Yan would indeed ensure she’d never face an audience again.

"The news earlier isn’t true. I intentionally had someone take those photos. It wasn’t like what it showed. He was actually messaging; it’s a misplacement plus some photoshopping. After taking the photos, Pei Yan found out. Though I deleted the photos from the phone, they were already uploaded online, all my fault. Please, just don’t let Pei Yan blackball me." Zhang Qian pleaded while crying.

"Did you come together?" Qin Yun still expressionlessly stared at Pei Yan.

"No, I came in a separate car." Pei Yan answered, knowing what she was asking.

"I can vouch for that; Pei Yan rode alone, I shared a car with her. Also, the photo problem is my fault. Pei Yan told me to handle it, yet I failed, not expecting them to sync it online." Pei Yan’s manager owned up to the mistake to clear Pei Yan’s name.

"You two, please leave." Qin Yun said without so much as a glance at them.

"Alright, Sister Yun, you have a good talk with Mr. Pei, we’ll head out first." After winking at Pei Yan, Yang Leqi tactfully ushered the other two out.

Qin Yun walked closer to Pei Yan, took a sniff, and found only his scent.

"In the first photo, I was messaging you. It was just the angle that didn’t catch my phone. The second was similar; I was replying to your message when she pretended to fall. I dodged her; she didn’t touch me." Pei Yan explained.

Qin Yun looked at him with a stern face, pursing her lips, and said, "But I’m still not happy."

"I know, so what should I do to make you not mad?" Pei Yan asked softly.
