She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 298: Strong Presence

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Strong Presence

He imprisoned her by his side, never allowing her to go anywhere else.

Perhaps only in this way would she be able to obediently stay with him forever.

To achieve this goal, Pei Yansi was willing to resort to any means necessary.

Shen Heyu didn’t want to hear him spout such nonsense anymore.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Pei Yansi suddenly change the subject and ask, "What did you dream about?"

Shen Heyu, reminded by his question of the scenario in her dream, recalled what Pei Yansi had previously mentioned about Shen Jiangli. Calmly, she asked,

"When will there be a resolution regarding Shen Fanshuang’s matter? Shen Jiangli is still at large."

This was also an important reason why she compromised and returned to Jiang City with Pei Yansi, as she now needed his help to resolve this matter.

However, from what she could see, Pei Yansi seemed to have no news to offer her about the situation.

Pei Yansi looked deeply into her eyes and asked, "Did you dream about Shen Fanshuang?"

"Yes," Shen Heyu said unreservedly, "I dreamt that she was accusing me."

Shen Heyu didn’t continue, but Pei Yansi knew what she would have said next. He looked at her intently for a moment, then patted her cheek comfortingly and said, "Don’t worry, there will be a result soon."

She was not sure how reliable his words were, but Shen Heyu was willing to believe in his capabilities.

Noticing that she wasn’t there, Pei Yansi, frowning and agitated with himself, continued, "Get up and go out."

He was determined to take her to meet Lu Yi and Chen Lingmeng.

There was no room for negotiation.

Shen Heyu quietly watched his gaze, reading the firmness and insistence in his eyes, and she knew she couldn’t avoid it this time either.

She slowly got out of bed, her movements exposing the suggestive kiss marks on her nightgown.

Pei Yansi saw them and, thinking of last night’s craziness, his gaze darkened. He instinctively reached out to assist her but was deftly avoided by Shen Heyu as she stared at him and said, "You better stay away from me."

Pei Yansi retracted his hand without a change in expression, sat back, and refrained from assisting her further.

He just watched her with those cool, thin eyes.

He wanted to see how long she could keep up her pretense. Seeing that he made no further move, Shen Heyu finally got out of bed. Just as her toes touched the floor, she felt her legs weaken, and her body started to lean forward, almost causing her to fall.

Quick as a flash, Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, laughing softly, "Still avoiding?"

"I told you, you don’t have the strength, yet you insist on pretending."

Shen Heyu’s initial embarrassment turned into mortification at Pei Yansi’s words, her cheeks flaming red in an instant.

She struggled in his arms and said, "Isn’t it all because of you?"

Hearing this, Pei Yansi seemed to be in a better mood. With a soft smile on his face, he carried her into the bathroom.

He personally helped Shen Heyu dress and freshen up, which took over an hour.

When both were ready and left the house, it was already time for lunch.

As they got into the car, Shen Heyu, still somewhat uneasy next to Pei Yan, asked, "Is this meeting really just a simple meal to get acquainted? You won’t do anything else, will you?"

She was always worried because Pei Yansi never played by the rules, and he was so angry last night, harboring deep resentment towards Lu Yi.

Who knew what he might plan to do in such circumstances?

Pei Yansi quietly watched her for two seconds, "I don’t want to see you worrying about other men. If you really must worry, then hide and don’t let me see it."

Shen Heyu was speechless.

Once again, her perception of Pei Yansi’s petty jealousy was refreshed.

Remembering Pei Yansi’s temper, she earnestly explained, "I truly have nothing to do with him, and I hope you won’t use this to punish me or him."

"Really?"

As long as she was willing to soften and explain to him, Pei Yansi felt it was better than her saying nothing.

If she took the initiative to explain these things to him, his attitude was, of course, extremely gentle as he looked deeply into Shen Heyu’s eyes and said, "Can you give me some evidence?"

"What kind of evidence can there be for this? You don’t have any evidence that I have feelings for him, isn’t that proof enough?"

Shen Heyu was truly scared; Pei Yansi’s wild imaginations and groundless suspicions had a negative impact on both her and Lu Yi.

Just like now, he was forcing Lu Yi and Chen Lingmeng into an arranged date because of his baseless suspicions.

And Lu Yi and that Chen Lingmeng clearly had no relationship at all. But recalling what Lu Yunlan had told her last night, Shen Heyu did support Lu Yi starting a new romance.

But it shouldn’t be forced.

Otherwise, Shen Heyu would consider herself a sinner.

Pei Yansi seemed to guess what she was thinking. He didn’t press further, but said, "Then kiss me? As proof."

He was clearly seizing the moment to be unreasonable. Shen Heyu looked at his handsome face but made no move.

Pei Yansi purposefully sneered, "If you’re not even willing to be intimate with your husband like this, how can I possibly believe you?"

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette but didn’t light it, just turning his head to look at the scenery outside the car window.

He thought to himself about how exactly he could keep Shen Heyu by his side forever? He had originally planned to fairly compete with Shen Jiangli and others, but at this point, one had no status in front of Shen Heyu and the other had too high a status.

It seemed unnecessary to him.

He was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly felt a tug at his sleeve. He turned his head to meet Shen Heyu’s resolute eyes, and before he could react, she leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Her lips were gentle and soft, lightly touching, that kiss was like a feather brushing across the cheek, leaving only a tickling sensation.

This tickling, however, spread all the way to his heart.

Pei Yansi was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered. He glanced sideways, his eyes laughing as he said, "Who said it was the cheek?"

As he spoke, he pointed to his own lips.

"Here."

He shamelessly indicated to Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu looked at him for a long moment as if struggling internally, but ultimately she compromised and moved closer, dropping a fragile kiss on his lips.

Just as she tried to pull away, Pei Yansi suddenly reached out, held the back of her head, and forcibly deepened the kiss, kissing her passionately.

Shen Heyu was breathless, her hands pressed against his chest, pushing him away with her strength.

Pei Yansi benevolently released her, chuckling, "Good girl."

Shen Heyu, described by his two words, blushed and hurriedly created distance between them in the back seat of the car, as though he were some kind of flood or wild beast.

Pei Yansi didn’t mind and said contentedly, "I’ll let you off this time."
