She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 290: Intentional Possession

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Intentional Possession

With so many people around, he was so overt about it. Shen Heyu was astonished, trying to pull her hand back, but Pei Yansi bit down hard the moment he sensed her attempt.

It was like a punishment, but also a prevention. Preventing her from leaving.

Shen Heyu still wanted to retrieve her hand, but Pei Yan bit down even harder, and pain began to arise. Her face slightly pale, she couldn’t help but lower her voice, "What on earth do you want? Let me go."

So many people were watching.

Especially Pei Yansi, who was always the focus of the crowd, no matter where he was. At that moment, Shen Heyu could clearly feel the gazes of the people around her, all of them inquisitive, annoying, and jealous.

She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Pei Yansi just looked at her, sucking on her fingers while wearing a half-smile.

At that moment, Chen Lingmeng came over, and upon seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but frown.

Adults all knew that an action like Pei Yansi’s was akin to courting.

And that woman, the woman being courted by Pei Yansi, had a face full of disgust, disdain, and dissatisfaction.

As if Pei Yansi was some sort of trash, unworthy of her.

This thought angered Chen Lingmeng; she clenched her teeth but still controlled her temper, feigning gentleness as she said, "So this is Yansi’s companion."

Finally, Pei Yansi let go of Shen Heyu.

He straightened his tie, still wearing that half-smile as he looked at Shen Heyu and said, "Not bad." This very "Xiao Ye" of hers, not obedient at all.

Chen Lingmeng could clearly sense that Pei Yansi’s demeanor softened when facing this woman, lacking his usual fierce aggressiveness.

Especially just now—he had been cold and stringent when facing her, but now, while still speaking to her, referring to the woman right in front of him, his tone was visibly much gentler.

A woman’s intuition told Chen Lingmeng that the companion Pei Yansi had brought was no ordinary person.

At least she was the first serious competition Chen Lingmeng had encountered in a long time.

"You two really match each other," Chen Lingmeng suppressed her jealousy, trying her best to appear calm as she smiled at Shen Heyu, "I wish you a lifetime of happiness."

Shen Heyu said nothing, just glaring annoyingly at the man beside her.

Pei Yansi, as if he hadn’t seen her look, didn’t care whether she was annoyed or disdainful; for him, he would definitely not let her go.

He smiled and sat beside her, picking up a fork and feeding her the dessert in her hand.

But when he spooned it towards her, she did not open her mouth.

Pei Yansi’s eyes darkened slightly, but his face still bore a refined smile as he said to Shen Heyu, "You were snatching it just now, why not eat now?"

His voice was neither loud nor soft, audible to all those watching.

Shen Heyu glared at him discontentedly, refusing with her eyes.

She made no move.

What reputation did Pei Yansi have outside? He was the business world’s King Yama, decisive and direct in his methods.

Women usually flocked to him, and even among his peers, he was always at the peak—everyone who saw him had to nod and bow flatteringly.

Now, this initiative to feed her was absolutely jaw-dropping. That he would serve someone so actively outside was one thing, but to be rejected was another.

The dessert he fed to her hung stiffly in mid-air, making everyone watching feel awkward.

Pei Yansi’s gaze grew darker and darker. Without Heyu making any move, he said dangerously, "Is Xiao Ye misbehaving again today?"

Heyu frowned at this nickname.

But she could sense the danger in his tone; others might not detect it, but she knew him well.

With so many people around at the moment, she thought it over and, not daring to defy him, finally opened her mouth and ate the food he fed her.

Everyone around them sighed in relief. They looked at Shen Heyu discreetly, admiration in their eyes for daring to keep Pei Yansi waiting for so long. She must be no ordinary person.

Perhaps if they wanted to curry favor with Pei Yansi in the future, they’d have to please this woman first.

They all mentally noted Shen Heyu’s appearance.

Seeing her eat, Pei Yansi finally revealed a smile, a genuine and resolute one. People around were startled as no one had ever seen him smile before.

Even when dealing with reporters outside, he was always serious and aloof, maintaining a calm demeanor.

Chen Lingmeng, standing nearby, couldn’t help feeling envious when she saw this scene. She had grown up in a privileged family and had interacted quite a bit with Pei Yansi during her childhood.

They often played together as kids, and when she was very young, she had joked about marrying him. He had joked about marrying her too.

Though those were just childish words, over the years this man had become more and more outstanding and handsome, an object of admiration for everyone; she had genuinely given her heart to him.

For her career, she had gone abroad to study, thinking that she could marry him when she returned. Her family had even mentioned that hosting this family banquet was partly to sound out Pei Yansi’s feelings.

If he was willing, they would arrange the marriage between them.

Now, it seemed she had no chance whatsoever. Chen Lingmeng thought of all this, and her jealousy grew stronger.

Without a trace, she smiled at Shen Heyu, "You are truly beautiful, definitely up to Yansi’s standards. But how come I remember you saying when we were kids that you didn’t like this type?"

Chen Lingmeng’s words were skillful, positioning herself as someone who understood Pei Yansi intimately and even mentioned their childhood, suggesting they grew up together, close as childhood sweethearts.

Their relationship was definitely special.

Shen Heyu could tell, her words were full of provocation and jealousy, mostly stirring trouble.

But these things were useless to her now.

She wished Pei Yansi would just follow someone else.

Pei Yansi’s gaze had never left her, and he certainly understood what she was thinking now, his expression darkening.

He firmly embraced Shen Heyu and then said to Chen Lingmeng, "What did we understand back in our childhood about likes and dislikes? Now, all I know is she is the most important."

Chen Lingmeng’s face turned ugly.

She could easily tell that Pei Yansi was defending Shen Heyu.

And Shen Heyu was also frowning tightly, her complexion pale. When she had come here, Pei Yansi had clearly said he wouldn’t make their relationship public, but now, not only had he made it public, it was known to everyone. If she wasn’t wrong, this even made her an enemy to some.

Chen Lingmeng forced a smile that looked worse than crying, and deliberately asked, "When are you planning the wedding?"

Pei Yansi was unabashedly, "Soon, I guess."

After saying that, he looked down at Shen Heyu and smiled, "Isn’t that right?"
