Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Disdain
Pei Yansi also didn’t know the matter that ng Ru and Bai Sheng’er were up to…
ng Ru had co behind his back.
Shen Heyu felt a flicker of wavering in her heart.
Could it be that her expectations of him had been too high? After all, once he found out, he didn’t let them off.
She was silent; feeling that Yuexue had lost her sight, her other senses beca exceptionally sharp, especially now she was more sensitive to the emotional changes in Shen Heyu.
She hurriedly asked, “Mom? What’s wrong, did soone upset you?”
Shen Heyu tried to sound casual, “It’s nothing.”
Yuexue responded with an “oh,” “What about Dad?”
Shen Heyu was slightly stunned, realizing that her daughter was starting to develop feelings for Pei Yansi, she said, “He has sothing to do today.”
“Oh, I thought… He promised to co tell a story last night, but he didn’t co, and he hasn’t co now either.”
“Then Mom has to rember to tell him, no matter how busy, to rember to rest and not be like you, toiling away without eating or sleeping.”
Yuexue spoke with sincerity, a gentle smile gracing her lips.
Shen Heyu kissed her daughter’s little cheek, “When did he promise to tell you a story?”
When ntioning this, Yuexue seed to be in a good mood, her smile widening, “Mom has been very busy recently, hardly at ho during the day, or only around for a little while at night. When Dad was with , he would always tell stories.”
“He’s always the one to coax to sleep.”
Yuexue thought about it; this was a feeling she had never had before. Having a dad could be so blissful! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have trusted him so quickly, even wanting to help him convince Mom to move in here!
Of course, this was sothing Yuexue would never tell Shen Heyu.
“What else did he tell you?”
“He said he wanted to remarry Mom, that he was sorry for what he did to you, and wanted a chance to make ands, asking to help him!” Yuexue giggled, “But I didn’t agree; I wouldn’t betray Mom!”
Seeing her daughter’s triumphant expression, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but laugh.
Little did she know, this little thing had already “sold” her out long ago, even helping him to “count the money”…
Shen Heyu said, “You should rest well, Mom will co see you again later.”
Shen Yueyue nodded vigorously, sending her off with a smile.
Shen Heyu went downstairs and saw Madam Pei sitting on the sofa, with aunts in the kitchen busy at work.
After Pei Yansi’s incident, the news was completely locked down and didn’t spread outward, especially not within the family.
The old lady was getting on in years and couldn’t withstand such turmoil.
She also didn’t plan on divulging the matter, stepping forward and calling out, “Grandma Pei.”
The old lady smiled at her, unchanged from six years ago, and said, “Heyu, if you’re willing, you can still call Grandma.”
Shen Heyu smiled back but still felt it inappropriate to take up the offer, shifting the topic, “Is there soup in the kitchen?”
“Yes, the nutritionist from before—you know, after you ca back, Yansi hired them back again.”
Shen Heyu thanked her, very polite and distant. Madam Pei felt sowhat pained as she watched Shen Heyu’s retreating figure approach the kitchen.
She had always liked her, yet when it ca to the young people’s affairs, there was only so much she could get involved in.
Shen Heyu went into the kitchen, looked for the nutritious soup the aunts had prepared in advance, and took so other foods with a thermal lunch box before leaving quickly.
She feared Madam Pei would ask questions on her way out, but she said nothing, easing Shen Heyu’s mind.
She carried the items to the hospital.
In the hospital, after Zhao Jin saw Shen Heyu off, he went to et soone.
He reported everything that had happened in the car to Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi furrowed his brows deeply after hearing this, “Is that all she said?”
Zhao Jin nodded, “I feel that Miss Shen still doesn’t trust you enough.”
“No need to tell ,” he shot Zhao Jin a cold glance.
Zhao Jin realized he’d misspoken. President Pei would have certainly seen through this little matter. If he brought it up again and poked at the heart of the issue, he would be in the wrong…
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but lower his head submissively.
Pei Yansi just quietly watched him, growing increasingly irritated. He said, “You go to the company first.”
Zhao Jin, feeling like he’d been granted a pardon, hurried out and, upon opening the door, bumped right into Shen Heyu who was arriving.
“Miss Shen…” Zhao Jin called out.
Shen Heyu nodded in acknowledgnt, a polite greeting, and walked in carrying her things, with Zhao Jin closing the door behind her.
After placing the food and tonic soup she brought down, Shen Heyu also lowered the small table from the sickbed and arranged everything neatly for Pei Yansi before she said, “These were made by your aunt at ho, they should suit your taste.”
Pei Yansi was picky with his food; she had always known that.
So she didn’t entertain the thought of cooking for him.
Her phrase “from your ho” slightly irked Pei Yansi; what was this “your ho, my ho”? She really knew how to draw the line.
He sat up, pretending to say, “I’m injured and don’t have the strength. Feed .”
Shen Heyu could see that he was doing it on purpose. She said, “Your injury is on your back, not your hands!”
“The back muscles are pulling and my hands hurt.”
“…” Shen Heyu stared at him for a long while; he made a face as if his hands truly couldn’t lift.
Thinking about the deep wound he had yesterday, she finally compromised. She picked up the chopsticks from the small table and fed him, bite by bite, carefully.
Pei Yansi had a few bites and then said, “Thirsty.”
Shen Heyu put down the chopsticks and reached for the soup bowl, ladling it out with a spoon. However, as she brought the spoon to his lips, he suddenly knocked it with his hand and the spoon fell to the floor.
It made a tinkling sound.
As Shen Heyu bent down to pick it up, Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist.
“No need for a spoon.”
“Then what should we use?” she asked, looking at him curiously.
His gaze fell upon her moist lips. She had gone back once, all cleaned up, and even applied her usual lipstick; her lips were full and lustrous, darkening his eyes with desire.
Shen Heyu was no longer an ignorant young girl, she could certainly discern the improper look in a man’s eyes when he gazed at a woman. Just as she thought to move back, Pei Yansi pulled her in more forcefully.
The soup bowl in her hand was also taken by his other hand and placed on the table before him.
Then he wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing her closer to him; her head instinctively bent down.
He looked up and accurately captured her lips with his own.
Shen Heyu was stunned until half a second later when she rembered to struggle. He had just eaten, which she found extrely off-putting!
Pei Yansi rely pecked her lips lightly and didn’t deepen the kiss. When he opened his eyes and saw the disgust in hers, he lost his inclination, touched her lips gently, and then moved away. He looked at her intensely, asking, “Do you despise ?”
“…” Shen Heyu lowered her eyes, “No.”
She couldn’t even explain to herself why she lied, perhaps it was the oppressiveness in his gaze at the mont.
He saw right through what she was thinking and pointed it out directly, “Do you find disgusting?”
“…”
“Is that it?”
