She Asks for a Divorce Again

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Move Away
 

Yun Lan’s words were incredibly harsh, causing Bai Sheng’er to tremble in fear.

This time, her fear was genuine.

She knew that the Lu family held considerable power and authority as well.

Unable to muster a retort, she could only look pitifully over at Pei Yansi not far away with beseeching eyes.

But Pei Yansi remained silent, lips pursed.

His gaze towards Yun Lan was none too friendly.

Amidst the quarrel between the women, he, as a man, naturally considered himself above joining in, and besides… he was preoccupied with thoughts of Shen Heyu who had collapsed and been hospitalized.

When Yun Lan saw them like that, she snorted disdainfully and left directly.

After informing Lu Yi, who still had some work to finish, she returned alone to Pei Yansi’s hospital room.

By late afternoon, as the sun began to set, its golden-red light filled the world, spilling through the hospital room window and casting a glow upon Pei Yansi’s face.

This was the scene Lu Yi walked in on.

The golden sunset bathed Pei Yansi, her skin almost translucent, with long eyelashes casting a shadow across her beautiful face.

Perhaps because she had slept enough, when he opened the door, Pei Yansi also opened her eyes.

The hospital ceiling filled her vision, and Pei Yansi was momentarily disoriented, unable to recall where she was.

Seeing her awake, Yun Lan asked with a happy smile, “Do you still feel unwell anywhere?”

Pei Yansi shook her head. She felt incredibly weak and had no strength. Moreover, there was still some pain in that place.

Lu Yi walked in, casually sat beside the bed, and said, “While your condition isn’t serious, you still need to rest properly. Otherwise, it can lead to complications. Stay in the hospital for the next couple of days. I’ll be here to take care of you whenever needed.”

Pei Yansi remained silent.

Hearing this and remembering Bai Sheng’er, who was also still in the hospital, Yun Lan felt a wave of disgust.

“Why not get discharged? Brother, you’re a doctor after all. After she’s discharged and stays at our place, you can take care of her just as well, if not better.”

A gleam appeared in Lu Yi’s eyes. He had been considering this but didn’t bring it up because of recent events.

“Let’s see what Heyu thinks?” he said, glancing at Pei Yansi as if asking for her opinion, though the anticipation in his eyes was apparent.

Pei Yansi shook her head, “This isn’t a good idea.”

“What’s not good about it? Didn’t you often stay over during college? Besides, I’m back now, and I’ll be staying with you guys. Don’t worry about it. It’s settled.”

Pei Yansi thought it over.

Their relationship was almost as close as blood; during college, she often mingled with them.

More than that, she preferred not having to return to Pei Yansi’s apartment.

It was always cold with her there alone, and most of the time, he would be out accompanying Bai Sheng’er.

The mere thought made her uncomfortable. Better to change the environment and place.

Upon hearing her agreement, Lu Yi finally showed a joyful smile, a hint of exuberance barely concealed.

By evening, Yun Lan went to the apartment to pack up all of Pei Yansi’s things, and they left together.

The housekeeper saw them but dared not ask a single question.

In the evening, President Pei returned from the company alone.

He had spent the afternoon at the hospital accompanying Bai Sheng’er for examinations, fearing she might have developed some health issues due to the shock. She kept curling up in his arms, frail and in need of his protection.

Now, his entire being was enveloped in her scent.

He was very uncomfortable as he returned to the master bedroom to take a shower and change his clothes.

But when he opened the wardrobe, he found that all the clothes that had belonged to Pei Yansi were gone.

His brows suddenly tightened as he walked out to ask the nanny.

The nanny said with trepidation, “Madam came with a very young girl and took everything away, saying that they wouldn’t be back anytime soon…”

“Who?” Pei Yansi tried to suppress the anger in his heart, though he already had a suspicion.

“I don’t recognize her…”

Pei Yansi didn’t say anything more and contacted his assistant to check on Lu Yunlan’s whereabouts, while he also checked the location of Pei Yansi’s phone.

It didn’t take long for the assistant to report that Pei Yansi was indeed with Lu Yunlan.

And the location on Pei Yansi’s phone also showed it was at the same villa area.

Lu Yi’s family home.

How delightful.

He clenched his phone tightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes amidst the brewing storm.

Pei Yansi stood up, intending to personally go to Lu Yi’s villa to fetch the person back, but before he could leave, he received a call from Bai Sheng’er.

Bai Sheng’er sobbed over the phone: “Big brother, can you come see me? I’m really scared all alone in the hospital… I just went out to get some hot water and accidentally hurt my foot…”

Pei Yansi’s brows furrowed upon hearing this; her foot injury from last time hadn’t even healed.

“Didn’t I leave someone with you? Why not call for them?”

“I… I didn’t want to trouble them, sob, sob, I miss you so much…”

Hearing her last words, Pei Yansi seemed to recall someone who had once cried and said the same thing to him.

He glanced at the location of Pei Yansi on the GPS and finally said, “I’m on my way, don’t move around anymore.”

After hanging up without even having time to change his clothes, he rushed back to the hospital.

When he arrived, he saw Bai Sheng’er sitting up in bed, one leg dangling, her pretty face utterly pale, looking pitiful.

He approached and gently rubbed her foot, “Where did you fall?”

His voice was exceedingly gentle.

Tears welled up in Bai Sheng’er’s eyes as she said pitifully, “The same spot as last time…”

Pei Yansi gently lifted her pant leg to see that the previous wound had indeed split open again; he frowned and said, “The doctor will be here soon.”

Bai Sheng’er nodded, and as she did, the tears she had been holding back finally fell, as if she was enduring the utmost pain.

It was heart-wrenching.

Pei Yansi just glanced and couldn’t help thinking that Pei Yansi had never behaved like this, she always seemed as though she never needed anyone.

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and he looked up to see Lu Yi entering.

His eyes full of hostility, he watched Lu Yi, but still stepped aside to let him tend to Bai Sheng’er.

Lu Yi didn’t say much to him either and began treating Bai Sheng’er’s wound as soon as he entered.

“Ah, it hurts,” Bai Sheng’er suddenly let out a soft whimper, and her tears began to flow.

Pei Yansi frowned upon hearing this and stared at Lu Yi: “Is Doctor Lu’s medical skills in need of improvement?”

Lu Yi replied calmly, “Who doesn’t feel pain when a wound bursts open? Does President Pei think this is a painless affair?”

Pei Yansi was about to say something else when someone else came into the ward.
