Shen Heyu subconsciously thought that she couldn't let him see Lu Yi.
Otherwise, even if she threw herself into the Yellow River, she couldn't clear her name. Even ten mouths wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Even though there was nothing between her and Lu Yi, Pei Yansi had always been prone to jealousy and overthinking.
She dared not be sure what he might do if he saw her with someone else.
Numerous past experiences of his outbursts had already left her apprehensive.
Thinking this, she immediately stood up from her chair and said to Lu Yi, "Why don't you go first, and I'll contact you later."
Lu Yi could clearly see the panic that she could not hide on her face the moment Pei Yansi appeared.
The fear of that man was even more apparent in her eyes.
He couldn't even imagine what Pei Yansi must have done to her to cause such fear.
Lu Yi also stood up from his chair. He didn't want to trouble Shen Heyu, saying, "I'll go upstairs, and if you need anything, just call me."
