209: Chapter 209: Prayer?

It’s Clearly a Warning!

“Penny, can we stop crying?”

The marketing director of Mu Group, Shen Peini’s office, Lin Fei looked down at Shen Peini, who was now bawling her eyes out, and it wasn’t his first time trying to get the woman to stop her sobbing.

Before today, Lin Fei had always thought the saying “women are made of water” was just a figure of speech.

But curled up in Lin Fei’s arms, Shen Peini, with her actions, showed him she truly was made of water.

Lin Fei couldn’t remember how long Shen Peini had been crying, he only knew,

“Well, why don’t you keep crying for a bit?” Seeing Shen Peini’s state and that she wasn’t going to stop anytime soon, Lin Fei tentatively asked.

“If you dare leave, I’ll go down to be with my brother.” Compared to her usual enchanting, seductive voice, Shen Peini’s was evidently tinged with sobs.

Nonetheless, it was still incredibly potent, perhaps even more so.

If Lin Fei did leave and Shen Peini, in a moment of distress, did something foolish, Lin Fei would truly be filled with regret.

After all, having worn mourning clothes for eighteen years only to have them destroyed by him, Lin Da Guanren, it was natural for him to feel some heartache.

However, one can’t dwell in sorrow forever.

Although Lin Fei didn’t mind spending some time helping Shen Peini get through this period of mourning.

But Lin Fei is, after all, a normal man, right?

As a man whose gender and sexual orientation were both decidedly normal, heaven only knows the psychological pressure and physical torment Lin Fei had endured during this time.

It was also due to Shen Peini’s exceptionally low spirits, combined with Lin Fei’s guilt for having destroyed the mourning clothes she had worn for eighteen years, that he felt at least a small bit of guilt.

“Penny, how about this, we go visit your brother and apologize to him, how does that sound?”

“You mean you’ll accompany me to go down there and find him?”

“With so many years passed, even if we went down there, your brother might not recognize us.

Let’s go to his grave and pay our respects.

I believe that as long as our sincerity is there, he will understand us.”

“It’s a long journey.”

“As long as you can let go, no matter how far, I’ll carry you.”

“In the future, will you keep going like this?”

“As long as you’re willing.”

…

“Brother, your sister has come to see you.” Shen Peini, carried all the way from Moongaze Building to her brother’s grave by Lin Fei, finally stepped out of Lin Fei’s embrace and knelt in front of her brother’s tombstone, murmuring to herself.

Lin Fei, finally having a moment to breathe, took out a cheap cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, and also lit one for Shen Peini’s brother.

Through the photograph on the tombstone, Lin Fei could vaguely picture what Shen Peini’s brother looked like in life.

Although heaven and earth separated them, it didn’t stop Lin Fei from feeling a sense of admiration for him.

The young Shen Peini, once close to drowning, was about to perish in the water when her brother, two years her junior, had courageously saved her but consequently lost his own life.

Because of guilt, Shen Peini had worn the mourning clothes for eighteen years.

That heavy burden of guilt was deeply buried in her heart.

If it weren’t for Lin Fei’s appearance, this guilt might have accompanied her for the rest of her life.

Perhaps one day, it would have crushed her.

Lin Fei wanted to eradicate this guilt for Shen Peini, regardless of the consequences, precisely because he harbored a profound sense of guilt in his own heart.

He knew well the psychological burden that guilt could bring to a person!

It was a kind of pressure that made it hard to breathe, a pain that stung inexplicably every time it came to mind.

The guilt in Lin Fei’s heart was irreparable, but the guilt in Shen Peini’s could be eradicated.

Just like now, as the woman knelt in front of her brother’s tomb, murmuring to herself.

The guilt hidden deep within her was gradually receding with every word she whispered.

As the cigarette was finished, Lin Fei stomped out the stub and took a step forward, preparing to lift Shen Peini.

After all, it was getting dark, and a graveyard was no place to spend the night.

“Brother, remember the man behind me, he is the one who destroyed the mourning clothes I wore for you.

But don’t blame him, he did it for my own good, and I hope you can forgive him.”

As Lin Fei approached, he overheard Shen Peini’s murmuring.

Suddenly, hearing Shen Peini murmuring, Lin Fei couldn’t help feeling that his care for her was not in vain, nor was it a hardship for him, Lin Da Guanren.

However, when Lin Fei heard what Shen Peini said next, his face turned completely black.

“Brother, I have to tell you, you must remember the man behind me.

Because, if all goes as planned, he will become your brother-in-law.

If one day he treats me poorly, I will come here to tell you, and you will take him down to keep you company.”

Shen Peini’s voice was very soft, and Lin Fei’s face looked very, very upset…
