Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Give Up On Her

"Heyu? Is that really you?"

Shen Heyu turned around and saw Lu Yi standing not far away, his eyes sparkling as he looked at her with a big smile on his face, as if running into her here was a pleasant surprise.

"Why are you also here?" Lu Yi asked, glancing left and right. Not seeing Pei Yansi by her side, he curiously asked, "Are you alone?"

Shen Heyu shook her head, about to speak when she noticed Pei Yansi had followed them out.

Pei Yansi’s cold voice came from behind Lu Yi, "If she was alone, what would you want to do?"

He was always the most jealous and possessive, Shen Heyu knew very well that he was about to lose it again.

Shen Heyu quickly walked forward, pulled him over, and began placating in a gentle voice, "I just bumped into him here and greeted him, that’s all."

She really couldn’t afford any misunderstandings now, least of all involving Lu Yi and others—she didn’t want them to suffer any bit of suppression from Pei Yansi because of her.

Pei Yansi looked down at Shen Heyu, his deep eyes were cold and difficult to read, "I haven’t even done anything yet, and you’re already protecting him."

His tone was clearly dissatisfied and even a bit overtly jealous.

Why was she guarding herself like this? In her eyes, she probably couldn’t see how guarded and fearful she was, always on alert when looking at him.

As if, if she didn’t do this, he might take some harsh action against Lu Yi?

Would she protect herself this way if it were someone else?

Shen Heyu didn’t realize how much Pei Yansi had thought in that brief moment—he’d had countless thoughts flit through his mind. She bluntly said, "I’m just considering your feelings, not protecting anyone in particular."

After all, after sharing a bed for so many years, Shen Heyu knew him well enough to know what he liked to hear. She said, "After all, we are legally husband and wife. When I interact with another man, of course I should explain to you voluntarily and consider your feelings, right?"

Pei Yansi’s brows furrowed slightly.

He stared deeply at Shen Heyu, as if trying to discern the truth in her words, but after a long look, he couldn’t see any hints.

Then, not knowing what he thought of, he suddenly burst out with a chuckle, "Is that really so?"

Was it that the explanation she just gave him had sunk in, and now, at last, she began to care about his thoughts?

Does this mean that he might soon have a chance?

A trace of joy that Pei Yansi couldn’t quite hide flashed in his eyes, and Shen Heyu caught it all. She was a bit surprised—just with that little attitude, he could be so happy? Did he really love her?

Shen Heyu nodded obediently, "Everything I said is true."

Pei Yansi’s smile grew even broader, the joy in his eyes undiminished. He reached out, affectionately rubbed her head, and said, "Good, he’s been your friend for so many years. It’s normal to exchange a few words. Have you finished talking?"

Though that was what he said, his gaze was fixed on Lu Yi.

Any observant person knew that his last sentence was clearly meant for Lu Yi.

And how could Lu Yi not see? In front of him, Shen Heyu made things up on the spot to prevent Pei Yansi from acting against him and holding a grudge—it was all an act.

Just speaking a few words to him, and she needed to be so frightened, weaving so many lies; then, when they were alone, how much harder must it be for her?

Lu Yi thought about this and felt a sense of helplessness wash over him. What could he do? He couldn’t help her now.

He revealed a bitter smile and said to Pei Yansi,

"We’ve said all that needs to be said."

Pei Yansi narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the bitter smile on his face, feeling somewhat triumphant.

Maybe Shen Heyu didn’t understand what this meant, but as a man, he was certainly clear; this was a man’s special symbol of giving up on a woman.

At this moment, Lu Yi had deeply realized that Pei Yansi didn’t belong to him, and his heart had already given her up, which was why such a bitter smile appeared.

Pei Yansi nodded, "Then we’ll be going first."

The knowledge that Lu Yi had given up on Shen Heyu made Pei Yansi feel pleased; with Shen Jiangli out of the picture and Lu Yi giving up, she could only be his.

Thinking this, Pei Yansi’s smile grew wider, filled with immense delight. Though usually reserved, he couldn’t help but reveal his joy, his eyes twinkling with happiness.

It was as if the stars above had been crushed into sparkling fragments.

After the two of them left, Lu Yi quietly watched Shen Heyu’s receding figure, his eyes full of disappointment.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at the path beneath his feet, feeling indescribably sad and lost.

Chen Lingmeng’s voice came from behind him, "Why haven’t you gone to start the car yet?"

Chen Lingmeng looked at him curiously, then followed his gaze to see the backs of Pei Yansi and Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu’s hand was tightly held by the man in a gesture of absolute possession.

Chen Lingmeng couldn’t help frowning.

"If you still can’t forget her, you should go find her. There’s no need to waste my time."

Lu Yi looked up at her indifferently, said nothing, and turned to go start the car.

The two were in a marriage arranged by their families, now in the midst of trying to get along. They had agreed to have a meal together today.

After the dinner, Chen Lingmeng had gone to the restroom. Before leaving, she had asked Lu Yi to start the car and come pick her up.

Lu Yi had left the restaurant first, but he hadn’t expected to run into Shen Heyu outside.

He drove the car to where Chen Lingmeng was, not glancing her way as she opened the door herself and sat in the passenger seat. Both remained silent, quietly looking out through the car windows.

In their hearts, they both harbored feelings for others, yet had settled for an arranged marriage due to various reasons.

The drive was silent; such a marriage was indeed meaningless, but for Lu Yi, it was the best outcome.

Chen Lingmeng turned her head to look at his profile, saying, "If you really can’t let her go, go find her."

She brought up again the matter of Lu Yi chasing after Shen Heyu.

Lu Yi didn’t take her suggestion to heart, but her persistence made him suspicious, "You seem very eager for me to go back to her, what’s your agenda?"

Chen Lingmeng, always straightforward, faced by his revealing question, didn’t weave or dodge anymore and openly said, "Because I’m just like you. I can’t forget Pei Yansi either."

"If you can win her back, maybe I have a chance. We wouldn’t have to end up in this situation, otherwise being married to someone you don’t love, how long can it really last?"

Lu Yi fell silent, considering the feasibility of her words.
