The man and woman in the room weren't doing what Su Yao had expected. They were entangled, but it looked more like they were fighting, and it was Pei Yan who was attacking.
The sound of the door opening startled both of them in the room at the same time. They turned around together and looked in Su Yao's direction.
Su Yao quickly apologized. "Sorry to interrupt. You can continue!"
The moment her voice faded, the door was tightly closed.
Both people in the room were in a daze. Pei Yan was a bit more sober, but Miao Yue's face darkened. She glared fiercely in the direction of the door. Although Su Yao was no longer there, she felt as if she could pierce Su Yao through the door.
Originally, Miao Yue had planned to drug Pei Yan and then do something with him. She had also calculated the time. It wasn't the safe period. If she got pregnant, she didn't believe Pei Yan would remain unmoved.
However, the reality was completely the opposite of what she had thought. Pei Yan actually fought with her at this moment, even with some ferocity.
Su Yao didn't go far. After her disguise, it was basically hard to recognize her. At this moment, she was leaning against the railing on the second floor like a tomboy, waiting for the people inside to come out.
She could tell at a glance that Pei Yan's mania had flared up again. But thanks to her timely interruption, no big trouble should have occurred.
This Pei Yan was really something. He completely exceeded her expectations. She had thought she would get to watch a steamy scene and learn something from it, which might come in handy for her work in the future. Well, it turned out to be a fight instead.
Miao Yue was the first to come out. Although her little scheme had been interrupted by Su Yao, the only thing she was glad about was that the divorce agreement hadn't been signed yet. She was also thankful that if Su Yao hadn't come, Pei Yan might really have killed her.
"Hey? Why are you running so fast?" Su Yao was a bit confused as she watched Miao Yue's retreating back.
But Pei Yan still hadn't come out. Su Yao's eyes dimmed. She sighed and pushed the door open again.
Pei Yan was huddled in the chair in an uncomfortable - looking position, as if this could relieve his pain.
"Pei Yan, are you okay?"
As soon as Su Yao got closer, Pei Yan pulled her onto his lap. Without even opening his eyes, he rubbed his face against Su Yao's shoulder and mumbled Su Yao's name incoherently.
Admittedly, this side of Pei Yan touched a soft spot in Su Yao's heart, but she also knew his current situation.
"Pei Yan, shall we go to the hospital? You're sick."
"I feel bad..."
When they were helping Pei Yan to the door, Su Yao accidentally noticed a miniature camera. For a normal shop, there was no need for such a camera, and it seemed to be well - hidden.
At the hospital, Pei Yan had been treated by the doctor. Now he was lying in bed with a nutrient solution drip, sleeping soundly. Su Yao quietly sat beside him.
But her mind was occupied with the matter of the miniature camera. Generally, the cameras in a shop would be placed in a prominent position to give people a sense of deterrence, and sometimes they weren't even turned on.
Su Yao sent a message to Chu Dianlan, asking him to check out the Elegant Building. It wasn't a big deal, but it bothered her.
Nearly at dawn, Pei Yan woke up. "Where is this?"
"The gates of hell. You're awake. I'll go buy some breakfast then. I have an announcement to catch later. Can you come over by yourself?"
Pei Yan glanced at Su Yao. His head was still groggy. He barely heard that Su Yao had an announcement. He pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
After a while, Su Yao came in with some congee and a few steamed buns, obviously just enough for one person.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Pei Yan asked.
"I bought this for you. I'll have better food than this when I'm on the announcement."
Both of them tacitly didn't mention what had happened last night. But just the thought of Miao Yue going to such lengths made Pei Yan's sense of estrangement towards her grow deeper.
After leaving the hospital, Su Yao took a taxi straight to the TV station. What she said about having better food than Pei Yan was just a lie. It didn't matter to her whether she ate or not, and she was already used to it.
Chu Dianlan, also known as Blue Cat, was very efficient in his investigation. He just said he would tell her when she got back and didn't say anything else.
However, the interview at the TV station caught Su Yao off guard. The fact that she had gone to see Pei Yan last night had been leaked. She had changed her clothes and makeup before going, so she thought she shouldn't have been recognized.
"A lucky fan said they saw Miss Su at the Elegant Building last night. Who were you there to see, Miss Su?"
"Hmm? Who is this lucky fan?" Su Yao didn't try to hide it. With a calm smile, she asked the female host opposite, which made the host feel embarrassed.
"Haha," the female host laughed awkwardly. "The fans are just concerned about your life."
"Then they might not be my fans. I've told my cute fans to focus more on my works and less on my life. After all, I don't even pay much attention to my own life. It's really not necessary."
No one had expected Su Yao to answer like this. It left the female host stunned, not knowing how to continue the interview for a long time.
Fortunately, Su Yao knew when to stop. She couldn't let the atmosphere get too awkward, so she gave the female host an out.
"Since it's a lucky fan, let me make her even luckier. A friend of mine is going through a divorce there. I went to persuade his wife. After all, as a woman, it's easier for me to talk to her."
Others might think it was just about persuading the couple not to divorce, but those who knew the truth understood what was really going on.
Then Su Yao continued, "Marriage is a matter between two people. Women need to be spoiled and coaxed. Otherwise, how can it work? I can't say much more. After all, this has nothing to do with me or you."
Since that day, Su Yao had gained the title of "Marriage Ambassador". Because of her words about women needing to be spoiled and coaxed, she had gained a wave of female fans.
When Su Yao returned after the interview, Chu Dianlan was just playing some illegal videos, which almost made Su Yao pull the power switch.
"Blue Cat, what are you doing? Watch them at your own place. Why are you watching them here?"
"Huh?" Chu Dianlan was exasperated. "You asked me to investigate this!"
"Oh, after all this investigation, all you've got are these?"
"Otherwise? You asked me to look into the camera matter. Do you want me to steal the camera back?"
"..."
Chu Dianlan was just joking. "Come on, don't be scared. These are just videos of illegal shooting. But I found something good."
"Huh?"
Chu Dianlan had retrieved all these videos and even sorted them out. There was all kinds of content. Then he clicked on one of them.
A familiar face appeared on the screen, Da Zhong, who had been in a car accident a few days ago.
When he opened the door, he accidentally showed a side - profile. He wasn't in that room but just passed by the door. He even stopped and leaned on the railing where Su Yao had leaned last night for a while.
"Not only this one. I found the same angle in several other videos. He was leaning on that railing."
Chu Dianlan clicked on a few more and paused them for Su Yao to see.
"Hey, where are you going?" Chu Dianlan was stunned as he watched Su Yao's suddenly departing back.
"To find Pei Yan and ask him to go there and finalize the divorce again."
One coincidence might be just that, but so many coincidences meant it was no accident.
