She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 292: Disregard Him

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Disregard Him

Pei Yansi watched as Shen Heyu’s figure gradually disappeared into the night. He spoke in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to leave?" His voice was cold, carried through the vast night, sounding somewhat unreal.

But it was indeed real, echoing in her ears.

Shen Heyu paused, hearing the voice behind her. She could vaguely make out his expression from his tone—definitely grim, his eyes dimmed, devoid of any emotion.

Vaguely threatening.

Shen Heyu hesitated for a moment, not wanting to turn around to face him, not daring to defy him, but she truly wanted to follow Lu Yunlan.

As long as she was not with Pei Yansi, she always felt more at ease.

As she struggled to find the words, Lu Yunlan seemed to notice her embarrassment and took the initiative to turn around and say to Pei Yansi, "She has come this far, of course she’s sure she wants to leave. President Pei, you should go back first. Even if you are lovers or spouses, you should give each other some space, shouldn’t you?"

Lu Yunlan had always had the temperament of a young lady, never needing to think too much about the consequences of her actions because her family would always back her up.

So when she spoke to Pei Yansi, she did so without thinking. However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt Pei Yansi’s aura instantly drop.

He stood against the light, mostly shrouded in darkness. His expression was unclear, but one could discern that his eyes were dark and deep, like the endless night, impossible to see through.

Such a gaze involuntarily instilled fear.

Lu Yunlan felt a bit of regret, knowing full well what kind of temper Pei Yansi had, yet she dared to speak to him so brazenly.

Meanwhile, Lu Yi saw his sister’s discomfort and took the initiative to say, "We should go now, President Pei. Tomorrow we will safely bring her back."

After speaking, he waited a couple of seconds. Seeing no reaction from Pei Yansi, Lu Yi pulled Shen Heyu into the car.

The car’s heater was on, and it wasn’t cold inside; in fact, it was somewhat warm. Shen Heyu sat in the backseat and looked through the window at Pei Yansi outside.

He still stood there, motionless, his back to the light. Even though she couldn’t see his expression clearly, based on her understanding of him, Shen Heyu knew his face must be very grim.

The car started and left the scene.

As the car passed by Pei Yansi, Shen Heyu wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she distinctly felt Pei Yansi glance into the car.

His look was terrifying.

Shen Heyu felt a shiver inside.

Pei Yansi never played by the rules, and she feared he might go mad over this and find ways to torment her.

Suddenly, she regretted her impulsiveness; perhaps she shouldn’t have clung to the straw that was Lu Yunlan and so rashly left him.

If he was unhappy, she would ultimately be the one to suffer.

"Forget it," Lu Yunlan seeing her worry, comforted her proactively, knowing how fearful she was of Yansi. She said, "He didn’t say anything just now, which obviously means he consented. Don’t stress yourself out."

Shen Heyu nodded, saying nothing more.

On the driver’s seat, Lu Yi said, "Yes, last time in Jiang City, I had to rush back due to a surgery and didn’t have time to say goodbye to you. After I left, I always wanted to contact you. But when I dialed your phone, it was always turned off."

"To be honest, seeing Pei Yansi’s attitude towards you at your place that day, I was actually worried. I couldn’t reach you at all, and I was really afraid he might do something to you."

As Lu Yi spoke, he glanced at Shen Heyu through the rearview mirror, his worry evident and unmasked, tinged with another layer of affection.

Shen Heyu instinctively avoided his gaze, "I didn’t expect to meet you here, don’t worry."

At this moment, Lu Yunlan said, "But that’s not the point. The issue is, why has your phone been turned off all this time? My brother has tried to contact you so many times and couldn’t get through. We all thought Pei Yansi—"

At this point, Lu Yunlan didn’t continue, but Shen Heyu knew what she wanted to say.

Because of Pei Yansi’s actions, it would make them instinctively think that he had done something bad to her again.

Shen Heyu said, "I’m sorry for making you worry."

Lu Yunlan patted her on the shoulder and smiled, "What are we if not friends? You don’t need to say such things. What’s most important is that you must stay safe. But what are you thinking now, do you still want to stay by his side? Didn’t you already leave? Why did you come back?"

Shen Heyu sighed and shared the recent events.

However, she instinctively omitted the part about Shen Jiangli.

She didn’t want to mention Shen Jiangli at all now.

After listening, Lu Yunlan furrowed her brows tightly, "It’s hard to tell from Pei Yansi’s appearance, how could he like using such despicable and dangerous methods so much?"

Shen Heyu didn’t respond.

She herself couldn’t understand it; she had always thought that for someone like Pei Yansi, the least of his concerns would be women. Given his status, there were plenty of women who would throw themselves at him.

How could he possibly stoop so low as to use such despicable methods to get a woman?

But the fact was that it happened, and Shen Heyu saw his unknown side. What he displayed was all false.

Lu Yi had been silent all along, but he occasionally glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze deep and filled with endless fascination.

Shen Heyu quietly avoided his gaze.

Finally, they arrived at the Lu Family’s villa. As soon as Lu Yunlan got out of the car, she pulled Shen Heyu into her room. Her room was beautifully decorated, in a cute and girlish style, full of youthful spirit.

Just like their college days, they lay down on a bed together, talking about girlhood dreams.

Then the topic returned to Shen Heyu, and Lu Yunlan asked worriedly, "If he doesn’t let you go, what will you do?"

"To be honest, I haven’t thought about it. But don’t laugh at me," Shen Heyu said nervously, looking earnestly at Lu Yunlan. "If he truly could improve, treat me well, and if he made amends for his past mistakes adequately, maybe I could consider—"

Returning to his side.

But Shen Heyu felt that it was an uphill battle. Pei Yansi, being so high above everyone else, never felt he was in the wrong. How could he possibly improve?

It was a far-fetched idea.

Yet, she still vaguely harbored some hope, and this hope made Shen Heyu feel uneasy.

Perhaps the one who is loved is always at a disadvantage.

Lu Yunlan sighed deeply and said, "I’m a bit conflicted right now."

"Conflicted about what?"

"Chen Lingmeng is the daughter-in-law my mom wants. It’s possible she’ll get engaged to my brother. Originally, the Chen Family had their eyes on Pei Yansi, but obviously he’s not interested."

Shen Heyu paused, "Why are you conflicted about your brother’s marriage?"
