She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 258 Care

Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Care

"You’re not willing?" Shen Jiangli said, "He will take care of you, take very good care of you."

Han Manyin’s heart clenched.

She knew it would be like this.

She had imagined before that if she didn’t divorce Shen Jiangli, there would always be the risk of him sending her away at any moment.

She just didn’t expect it to come so soon.

And all of this, it all went off-track suddenly after Shen Heyu appeared.

She was unwilling.

She vaguely knew why Shen Jiangli had made this decision in such a short time.

She said, "Why," she purposely put on a pitiful act, blinked her eyes, and tears shimmered at the corners, "Did I not do well somewhere?"

When Han Manyin started crying, she looked most like Shen Heyu.

The charm between her brows was also most similar to that of Shen Fanshuang. It was the easiest to mesmerize someone.

Shen Jiangli watched her, a flicker of thought crossing his mind. He reached out and gently lifted her chin, smiling and said, "You did well." But you are not what I want.

In Shen Jiangli’s eyes, there was an undercurrent of emotion.

What he wanted was Shen Heyu. He had not made his move for so many years, thinking the two could maintain such a relationship, only to find that Pei Yansi had ultimately reappeared.

He admitted that when he saw him with Shen Heyu in his house, his thoughts changed.

Why let go.

Why could he only have a substitute.

A hint of danger, and revulsion, surfaced in his eyes.

The revulsion towards a substitute.

Han Manyin noticed this, and her heart trembled. To avoid giving herself away, she forced herself to calm down, shrinking in Shen Jiangli’s embrace, pretending to be obedient.

"I’ll listen to you," she said very obediently.

Shen Jiangli was pleased, as he liked women who submitted to him.

Gentle, easy to control, so obedient.

Unable to have Shen Jiangli, Han Manyin started to harbor other thoughts. Why should Shen Heyu have everything?

She looked down on all these men.

Pei Yansi chased after her, Shen Jiangli also schemed for her, even went so far as to regard himself as a substitute for her, keeping her by his side for a month.

Han Manyin was not satisfied,

Since she didn’t want any of them and still snatched from her, it was no wonder Han Manyin would be impolite.

Yet, Han Manyin could never have imagined that the place Shen Jiangli was sending her to would be Lu Yi’s side.

That Doctor Lu, who was very wealthy at home.

The next day was New Year’s Day.

The city was still immersed in the joy of the New Year, everywhere decked with festive lights, people laughing and playing, the ground covered with a thick layer of snow.

Shen Heyu was preparing to return to Jiang City, as initially arranged with Pei Yansi, who was to personally take her back.

However, last night another heavy snowfall came, piling the snow thick on the road, the city’s snow as if sealed.

Many roads out of the city were closed because of the slippery conditions in the snow, which were very unsafe.

This included Pei Yansi’s route as well.

They couldn’t get back for the time being,

Yuexue, learning of this, ran into the living room and onto Shen Heyu’s lap, burrowing into her embrace, her face lit with a grin as she said, "It’s like heaven wants Mommy to stay by our side, it’s fate."

Hearing her new vocabulary, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but laugh and ask, "Who taught you that, ’fate’?"

Yuexue said, "Daddy."

Shen Heyu was stunned, not expecting it to be Pei Yansi at all. She couldn’t help but glance towards the kitchen and saw Pei Yansi busy at work inside.

He didn’t seem to hear their conversation, focusing solely on what he was doing. Lately, the meals at home had all been personally prepared by Pei Yansi.

It had to be said, he indeed was a good man to have at home, although most of his time was spent working.

As Shen Heyu wandered in her thoughts, she heard her daughter by her side say, "Daddy says that you and he are destined for each other, and he will never be able to leave you."

Those words made Shen Heyu freeze on the spot.

Could Pei Yansi really say such cheesy words? She was somewhat uncertain.

She cast a doubtful look toward the man in the kitchen.

The man had just finished his busy work and was bringing out lunch for the three of them, setting it on the dining table. While he served Shen Heyu and her daughter, he looked at her and deliberately said,

"Are you that surprised?"

It was just a sentence, after all.

Shen Heyu sat at the dining table, ignoring his words.

Her daughter took her seat, beaming with joy as she stared at the dishes in front of her, lavishing Pei Yansi’s cooking skills with praise.

Pei Yansi smiled lightly, watching Yuexue’s happy little face, and as Yuexue gradually grew, he could faintly see traces of Shen Heyu in her features.

Especially when she laughed, her dimples were the spitting image of Shen Heyu’s.

Pei Yansi looked at her and felt his heart soften. She was like a grand gift that Shen Heyu had given him.

A gift unique, irreplaceable by anyone else.

Thinking this, his gaze toward Shen Heyu became increasingly tender.

Shen Heyu felt a chill in her heart from his gaze.

That look of his was like that of an obsessed man. The scariest thing was a usually cold and abstinent man, whose eyes suddenly became intoxicated, like those of a crazed stalker.

She bowed her head and ate the food in her bowl seriously.

Pei Yansi watched her quietly, a faint smile adorning his lips, a tenderness extreme to the point she had never seen before.

After lunch was over, the still young Yuexue became sleepy, and as Pei Yansi coaxed her to take her nap, he then went downstairs to find Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu was still sitting on the sofa, thinking about the sentence her daughter had told her today.

Did Pei Yansi think that he and she were fated?

Why would he think that?

At this moment, Shen Heyu suddenly realized that living here these past few days, it seemed her mind had become somewhat disordered because of him.

Even the moment Pei Yansi came to be by her side, she hadn’t realized immediately.

Until he embraced her, did she then come back to her senses, "Is our daughter asleep?" she asked.

Pei Yansi nodded, stroking her long hair. Close together, he could smell the scent on her body, a scent that brought him peace.

It was a familiar fragrance, only when holding her and savoring this scent did he feel alive.

"There’s an event tonight, I’ll take you with me."

"What event?" Shen Heyu asked, then immediately felt it wasn’t the point and said, "I’m not going."

She didn’t want to attend any event with him.

Now, she just wanted to avoid suspicion and not let others know about their relationship.

She wanted to live peacefully, avoiding everything.

That way, when it came time to leave, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

Pei Yansi quietly watched her for a few seconds, understanding what she was thinking, and he casually said, "It’s not a social companion event. It’s just a small dinner gathering."

"What kind of dinner requires your presence?" Shen Heyu retorted. In her memory, Yansi felt that with his status, he could attend or skip any dinner gathering as he wished.

There was no need for this.

Pei Yansi lowered his head, "It’s an invitation from Doctor Lu."
