She Asks for a Divorce Again

Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Extreme

At the same time, there was an absolutely relentless determination mixed in.

She didn’t want to remarry, did she? Didn’t she always get tangled up with other men in shady ways?

She rejected all the good he had offered her, and even when he seriously proposed they remarry, she refused. No matter what he offered, good or bad, she wouldn’t accept it.

Faced with someone like her, he could only resort to extreme measures. That way, she would obediently stay by his side, remain in his circle, and willingly wear the label of Pei Yansi.

As Pei Yansi thought of this, the malevolence in his heart grew heavier. He forcefully suppressed the urge to explode with anger, constantly reminding himself to stay calm, at least for now. He couldn’t afford to show any signs that could scare her away; otherwise, even with the most powerful tactics, he’d have no recourse.

He pulled back all traces of a smile from his face, silently gazing at her for a long while, also concealing all traces of hostility in his eyes, “It’s nothing. Just talking to myself, you’re tired too. It’s late, you should go back and rest.”

Shen Heyu heaved a sigh of relief inside her heart.

For that moment, she almost truly believed he was about to resort to the extreme measures he had used in the past.

Just as when Shen Fanshuang died, he kept her by his side through extreme measures and she endured the humiliation of being Mrs. Pei for many years.

Once relieved, she dared to sit down.

She sat back on the sofa and said, “I’ll stay with you tonight.”

After all, he got hurt so badly because of her. She had no serious injuries, and if there were any, they were just superficial.

She was willing to watch over him for the night, and if there was any way she could help, she wanted to lend a hand.

As she spoke, she curled up all her limbs and lay down on the sofa. It was just big enough to accommodate her.

Shen Heyu leaned there, her mind whirling with countless thoughts. Perhaps truly exhausted, she didn’t take long before she fell into a deep sleep.

After she had fallen asleep, Pei Yansi was still wide awake.

Although the medication made him tired and his brain foggy, constantly urging him to rest, he felt no trace of drowsiness whenever he looked at the woman curled up and sleeping on the sofa.

He didn’t know how long had passed before he finally began to feel tired.

Right before falling asleep, his mind was still filled with those crazy ideas… wanting to keep her by his side.

The best would be to make her unable to ever escape again…

Shen Heyu woke up early the next day, having not slept well on the hospital sofa.

When she looked at Pei Yansi on the hospital bed, he had not yet woken up. His face was pale as paper, and the early morning sunlight streaming through the window just happened to shine on his face.

HIs features seemed sculpted by divine forces, so strikingly handsome that even in his lifeless state, one look could captivate anyone’s soul.

She just silently stared at him until, unexpectedly, he suddenly opened his eyes at that moment.

Her heart skipped a beat at suddenly locking eyes with him.

It was as if she had been caught red-handed while snooping… Quickly, she lowered her head, turning her eyes away in an attempt to cover her tracks.

Pei Yansi seemed to read her mind, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth, “Were you spying on me?”

“No…” Shen Heyu, who hadn’t felt it was a big deal at first, now felt unbearably embarrassed upon his direct call-out, her face turning bright red.

He chuckled lightly, “Is that so? And here I thought you were spying. I wanted to tell you, if you want to look, just look. No need to be sneaky about it.”

“…” Shen Heyu, at a loss, fiddled with her pants leg and said, “I’ll go back first and then I will bring you breakfast when I return.”

She didn’t give Pei Yansi a chance to respond before she turned and left the ward.

She was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, dirty and somewhat unsightly. As she reached the hospital entrance, she saw a familiar car.

Zhao Jin got out of the car and said to her, “Miss Shen, President Pei sent me to pick you up and take you back.”

Shen Heyu looked down at her attire, but didn’t feel too embarrassed and got into the car.

Zhao Jin drove her to the Pei Mansion.

As she was about to get out of the car, Zhao Jin suddenly called out to her, “Miss Shen.”

Shen Heyu stopped, “What is it?”

“Actually… President Pei really cares about you.”

Zhao Jin chose his words carefully, saying, “Since you left six years ago, President Pei hasn’t hired another director. The later Meng Ru joined because she signed a huge contract for the company, and during the celebration banquet, she made an impromptu request for a reward from President Pei.”

“At that time, President Pei was too busy, and he really couldn’t spare the time to handle the director’s duties, so he agreed to it in front of everyone.”

“In these six years, President Pei actually…”

“His care for me was letting Meng Ru and Bai Sheng’er bully my daughter,” Shen Heyu cut him off directly, already guessing that Zhao Jin’s visit was merely to speak on behalf of Pei Yansi.

She felt cold inside. This man, no matter what, never took action himself. When he wanted to reconcile, he didn’t show any sincerity, but rather used these petty schemes.

Zhao Jin said, “Those aren’t behaviors that President Pei could control, but after they did those things, President Pei personally reprimanded them.”

“This time President Pei went to save you, you saw it yourself. He was willing to risk his life for you. Just a little more accuracy from that Chen Bo, if the vital spot from behind was hit, President Pei would have died.”

“You don’t need to say any more.”

Shen Heyu interrupted him and got out of the car.

Her mind was in turmoil.

She knew, deep down, that Pei Yansi’s desperate act last night meant it was impossible not to feel any emotional ups and downs…

But how could she easily forget what had happened six years ago?

She returned to the Pei Mansion, fortunately still having clothes there. They weren’t from six years ago, but new ones Pei Yansi had recently prepared for her, each fitting perfectly.

She took them and went to the bathroom, took a shower, and then went out to see Yuexue.

Yuexue had been moved into the nursery that Pei Yansi had recently prepared.

He had just finished it, and she had left without even taking her to see it.

Now seeing it, the nursery was lavishly and beautifully decorated, spacious, with delicate pink designs, and even had an adjoined playhouse.

Yuexue had just changed her dressings, her eyes covered with gauze, and the room was filled with a faint medicinal scent.

Yuexue was very familiar with the sound of Shen Heyu’s footsteps, and the moment she heard them, she hurriedly asked, “Mommy, is that you?”

Shen Heyu walked over to the bed and hugged her, “Yes, it’s me. Does your eye still hurt?”

“It hurts occasionally, but Uncle Bai said I’ll get better soon. In about a week, I should be able to take the gauze off.”

Shen Heyu smiled with relief but felt sorry as she rubbed her little head, “You’ve suffered, my dear. Mommy didn’t protect you well enough.”

Yuexue shook her head, “How could that be Mommy’s fault? It’s those bad people’s actions, and Mommy couldn’t foresee them. If you had known, you definitely wouldn’t have let them hurt me.”

Shen Heyu stood stunned. Even Yuexue understood something she, alas, did not…
