She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 335: Winding Around

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Winding Around

Pei Yansi was somewhat dissatisfied with her reaction.

Originally, he had agreed to just visit Lu Yi. But now, Lu Yi clearly wasn’t in any danger; by all logic, they should leave.

Yet she still wanted to linger here and not go.

Pei Yansi couldn’t help but overthink it, he looked at Shen Heyu’s profile and said seriously, "He’s still in a coma now. Your presence here won’t help, better to go back and rest well. Once you’ve recovered, come back and trade places with Lu Yunlan. That way, your companionship will be meaningful."

Pei Yansi spoke with graceful composure and convincing reasons, appearing very understanding.

Shen Heyu did not overthink and seriously agreed.

But she didn’t see, when no one was paying attention, how jealous and vicious the look Pei Yansi gave Lu Yi was.

How could he not know?

The extent of Shen Heyu’s concern for Lu Yi, her care, had even surpassed the way she treated him.

That made Pei Yansi dissatisfied.

He could only resort to using other methods to coax Heyu to leave the hospital.

Shen Heyu did not realize she had become the object of Pei Yansi’s focus; after greeting Lu Yunlan and stating that she would return to replace her after getting some rest tomorrow, she then left with Pei Yansi.

After getting into the car, Pei Yansi pulled Shen Heyu into his arms and held her down tightly, not allowing her to struggle. His lips neared her neck, his kiss brushing gently over her skin, "Do you care about Lu Yi?"

His voice had lowered, laced with obvious jealousy.

The warm breath he exhaled next to her ear made Shen Heyu feel uncomfortably hot and itchy. She tried to shrink away but Pei Yansi lifted her chin and kissed her deeply.

Shen Heyu clamped her teeth shut, unwilling to give in. When Pei Yansi realized her rejection, he opened his threatening eyes in dissatisfaction.

He pressed against her lips, biting down hard, a sharp pain spreading from her lips. Shen Heyu let out a cry and the moment her lips parted, Pei Yansi took the opportunity to invade her mouth.

The kiss was like conquering a city, almost forcibly snatching her breath, Shen Heyu felt suffocated.

She struggled continuously in his embrace, restless. Pei Yansi grew impatient with being pushed to distraction, and eventually, he released her.

Shen Heyu glared at him angrily, "What are you going crazy over again? Lu Yi’s already hurt like that, isn’t it normal for me to be concerned about him?"

"Even so, that’s not acceptable,"

Pei Yansi’s cold voice rang out, "My agreement to let you see him was already a compromise."

"Your worries for him, I don’t want to see them, and I especially don’t want to see you thinking about him," he said while gripping Shen Heyu’s shoulders, turning her to have her back facing him. That way, he couldn’t see her worried expression over another man.

Shen Heyu cursed him endlessly in her heart to feel some relief.

Yet thinking of Lu Yi’s current condition, she was still worried and also felt it strange. She asked Pei Yansi subconsciously, "Was that crash related to you?"

It was really odd since there weren’t many vehicles or pedestrians on that stretch of road, and it wasn’t even rush hour. Besides, Lu Yi’s driving skills were highly trustworthy, those two trucks coming out like that was indeed bizarre.

It wasn’t that Shen Heyu was intentionally suspecting him, but after thinking over it, the most suspicious person appeared to be Pei Yansi.

Hadn’t he done something like this before? To make her stay by his side, he had made a move against the Lu Family.

Who knew that with her question, Pei Yansi would erupt in anger, glaring at her coldly, "In your eyes, am I just a lowlife capable of playing such petty tricks?"

"Could it be..." Isn’t it so?

Shen Heyu looked at him, her face filled with confusion, "So, is it related to you or not?"

If it really wasn’t him, why would he be afraid to answer?

Pei Yansi’s gaze remained fixed on her, easily discerning what she was thinking.

He felt a surge of indignation and said brusquely, "It wasn’t me."

Shen Heyu frowned deeply.

She didn’t doubt Pei Yansi’s words. A man like him, no matter what he did, was always bold and resolute, not concerned about others’ opinions.

Thus, if he denied something, she naturally wouldn’t think he was lying.

Instinctively, she asked, "Then who could it be?"

Pei Yansi sized her up for a while. "Really want to know?"

Shen Heyu turned to look at him. "Do you know?"

"Maybe?" Pei Yansi raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes holding a hint of profound meaning, as if he was scheming something in secret.

Seeing that look in his eyes, Shen Heyu knew he wouldn’t tell her. She looked at him quizzically, "But you won’t say."

What’s the use of knowing?

Pei Yansi took her hand and gripped it in the palm of his. "Maybe if you offer me something nice, my heart will soften, and I’ll tell you?"

Shen Heyu turned her head, looking at him with disbelief. "What kind of ’something nice’ do you want?"

It wouldn’t be that sort of thing again, would it?

Shen Heyu’s gaze at him turned somewhat disdainful.

This man, though outwardly suave and well-dressed, seemed preoccupied with such matters daily, which she found disdainful. Not a shred of a gentleman’s demeanor, yet his appearance was so elegantly poised.

Truly a case of appearances being deceiving.

Pei Yansi could clearly see her disdain for him. He pursed his lips and his eyes dropped slightly. "I’m not like this with everyone, only with you, because I have feelings."

Shen Heyu was taken aback by his sudden down-to-earth confession. She frowned and looked at him as if she were seeing an alien, "That doesn’t sound like something you would say."

"I don’t have any such thoughts," Pei Yansi found himself defending for once. "The ’something nice’ I want is for you to come work at Pei Group."

"Again?"

Shen Heyu’s beautiful brows furrowed deeper. "You know full well that at the office, I become nothing but a gossip machine. Why would you still want me there, especially after all the unpleasantness we’ve experienced? People have memories, you know."

He might not mind the embarrassment, but she sure did, and she had no desire to face that.

Pei Yansi looked at her. "So what?"

"This time, I will clear things up and ensure you face no public pressure whatsoever. How about that?"

He tried to take a step back, to discuss and negotiate with her, hoping she would agree.

After all, he had already acknowledged their relationship. Once he admitted it, those rumors would naturally crumble.

He wanted Shen Heyu to join the company also with the idea of subtly making their relationship public.

Since she absolutely refused to announce their wedding, he might as well use this method to slowly boil the frog in warm water, binding her to him more and more.

Little did Shen Heyu know the extent of the twists and turns in his mind.
