She Asks for a Divorce Again

Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Cooperation
 

Pei Yansi paused, knowing the words were addressed to him.

He asked, “What should I do?”

“Heyu has brought the child back, do you really plan to just leave it at that and let the mother and daughter continue living outside?”

Pei Yansi frowned and said, “Of course not.” Hadn’t he already brought Yuexue back?

In the future, he would find a way to make Shen Heyu stay as well.

The old lady observed the expressions on his face and, realizing something, sighed and said, “I can tell that you want her to stay, but did you ever think about how much hardship she went through when she gave birth to Yuexue?”

“Right now, she has just returned with Yuexue and is unwilling to accept you, which is normal, let alone how you treated her before. She holds resentment and grievance in her heart. It’s natural that she wouldn’t want to follow you right away, and you can’t forcibly pressure her.”

Pei Yansi listened to her words very sincerely, while simultaneously thinking that if he didn’t insist a bit more, she might never stay by his side.

What should he do then?

The old lady noticed he was listening, which was rare over the years, so she continued:

“You must clear up the misunderstandings from before, make her stop hating you, accept you, and willingly stay by your side. Only then can your family of three be happy.”

Pei Yansi, hearing this last sentence, froze.

A happy family of three.

He had actually never thought about such a thing. When Shen Fanshuang pursued him in college, he had never explicitly agreed to their relationship.

But Shen Fanshuang never got discouraged, always following behind him. At that time, he only thought she was very persistent and clearly knew what she wanted.

Yet he still had never thought about being together.

But later, he did have an ambiguous relationship with her, and just when their relationship was about to progress to the next step, she died. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about the apartment she lived in.

It was only when she died that he realized his feelings for her.

So, all these years, was it the same with Shen Heyu? He was a person who appeared cold on the outside but warm inside, hard to move. But once moved, he wouldn’t easily forget.

Nearly ten years had passed; did he truly love Shen Fanshuang that much?

And Shen Heyu… was he also realizing it too late?

He was always like this, a step behind, realizing too late.

Seeing he hadn’t spoken, the old lady wasn’t sure if he understood or not, and added, “What I mean is, you should properly apologize and pursue her earnestly, win her back.”

Pei Yansi still did not speak.

He had never done such a thing before, never felt that anyone was worth him doing so.

He watched Yuexue playing in the garden and, at that moment, felt something inside him loosening.

When it came time for lunch, Shen Heyu arrived on time to pick up Yuexue.

Yuexue had already had lunch and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.

Shen Heyu arrived while she was sleeping soundly.

And Pei Yansi was sitting beside her, quietly watching her, occasionally reaching out to fan her. It was early summer, it could get a bit hot, but turning on the air conditioning would be too cold, a rather awkward time when only manually controlled fanning seemed suitable.

The gentleness visible in his eyes was not feigned.

Shen Heyu saw it instantly, felt as if she was struck by something, as if he truly loved the child deeply.

She stepped forward, wanting to pick up Yuexue.

Pei Yansi stopped her, intentionally lowering his voice and said, “Let’s wait until she wakes up.”

Shen Heyu looked at the sleeping Yuexue and ultimately did not insist.

Pei Yansi saw the situation, grabbed her hand, and walked towards the garden outside.

When they reached the swing under the garden, Shen Heyu released his grip and said, “When will you stop randomly grabbing people?”

Pei Yansi sat on a nearby bench, pointed at the swing, and motioned for her to sit. He said, “I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

Shen Heyu didn’t want to hear him say anything and said, “If it’s about work, you can talk. But if it’s about anything else, don’t waste time.”

Pei Yansi suppressed the urge to get angry and said, “Yuexue sleeps a lot. Don’t you think that’s abnormal?”

“All children are like that,” Shen Heyu replied, pausing before adding, “Besides, Yuexue was naturally weaker than others. She needs to sleep more.”

“Why is she weaker?”

Hearing this, Shen Heyu almost laughed out of anger, “Why is she weaker, don’t you know? Have you forgotten everything Bai Sheng’er did?”

Pei Yansi paused.

“Sorry.”

“Is sorry enough?” Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Shen Heyu straightforwardly said, “I can see that you have some ideas. But I’m telling you, unless those issues are resolved, there’s no way I’m staying.”

“Yesterday’s Meng Ru, what did you do? She hit your own daughter, and you still indulged her, didn’t you? For you, your little lovers are always more important than Yuexue. Is that really the case? Do you think I would stay with Yuexue?”

“Pei Yansi, stop dreaming.”

“I, Shen Heyu, might be insignificant in front of you, with no dignity, letting you bully me six years ago. But that doesn’t mean I lack the pride of a mother, seeing my daughter bullied like this without caring.”

Pei Yansi was silent for a long time and didn’t speak.

It was as if he was contemplating her words or avoiding her question.

Just then, Yuexue woke up. Hearing voices, she came over rubbing her eyes.

“Mom…” she immediately spotted Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu gave Pei Yansi a glance, stood up, and approached Yuexue, squatting down to her height.

“Mom will take you home.”

Yuexue nodded, glanced at her father behind her, didn’t say anything, and held Shen Heyu’s hand to walk out.

Outside, the driver Shen Heyu had called was still waiting; she took Yuexue’s hand and they got in.

Pei Yansi watched them leave, thought for a moment, then got in his car and followed them. He had to know where they were living.

Shen Heyu noticed he was following, but the driver couldn’t shake him off, so she just let him.

Fortunately, he didn’t follow them into the residential area, but drove away after they left.

Pei Yansi went to the company.

When he arrived, Zhao Jin was just presenting a work report, saying, “Shen Group wants to set up a collaboration with us. The person in charge… is Miss Shen Heyu.”

Pei Yansi frowned slightly, took the collaboration documents, glanced through them briefly, and said, “Arrange dinner tonight with Miss Shen.”

“Yes.”

“What about Meng Ru?” Pei Yansi asked again.

“She’s still in the hospital.”

“She hurt her head, not her legs, right? Bring her out of the hospital and here to see me.”

Zhao Jin didn’t ask further, but he could sense the coldness in his tone.

Not daring to ask more, he immediately went to the hospital to bring the person.
