Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Pouring Out Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Pouring Out Xiao Yu’s shape alone said a lot.
But Pei Yansi had never noticed it before.
That there would be such a thing on the shirt. Shen Heyu, seeing his expression, already had her answer.
Her voice deepened, like the pitiful dead leaves of autumn, devoid of any sign of life.
She said, “You never cared. I put thought into that little fish, spent most of my savings on customizing it. South African black diamonds.”
“As a gift for your thirtieth birthday, but after you accepted it, you never wore it once.”
“You threw that shirt into your rest room and never looked at it again. Until Bai Sheng’er ca over, and you put it directly on her.”
At this point, Shen Heyu paused, her gaze filled with derision and coldness as she looked at Pei Yansi before she continued, “Do you know what this represents?”
“It ans that all the care I had for you could be so easily given away. Trampled on. To you, I was nothing. Do you not find it laughable to ask this question now?”
As Pei Yansi listened, his eyes t her mocking gaze, and he couldn’t quite describe what he felt.
It was like a piece of glass shattering suddenly—perhaps the sound was not loud, but the shards of glass were enough to pierce one’s heart, causing it to bleed profusely.
He remained silent, leaning against the headboard and lighting a cigarette. It was a long while before he uttered three words.
“I’m sorry.”
Shen Heyu burst into laughter.
“Is sorry useful?”
Pei Yansi didn’t respond.
“It’s just one of many things, Pei Yansi. I used to like you. But that all ended six years ago.”
“Do you know why Bai Sheng’er captured and drugged ?”
“I was worried about you. Although you had just mistreated that day, you had been cold to for many days, and while I was pregnant with your child, you went to her house to fervently embrace her.”
But when Bai Sheng’er’s call ca through, she still went without hesitation.
And what awaited her was a nightmare.
Shen Heyu would never forget.
She said, “I loved you. But not now. Nor in the future.”
“Even if you trapped by your side, I would not feel anything for you.”
“Especially with Shen Fanshuang’s death laying between us. Do you believe it wasn’t ? You don’t. You’ve never had any feelings for ; you can’t bear to lose that bit of control you have.”
Pei Yansi fell silent.
He just quietly watched her face, feeling suddenly powerless at that mont.
This was a feeling he wouldn’t experience even in the most difficult business deals.
He didn’t know what to do, only managing to say dryly, “The matter with Shen Fanshuang, I’ve let it go.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted her by his side so much. Nor would he have spent the past six years guarding this matrimonial ho.
What he wanted, he was very clear about now.
He just didn’t know how to do what was right.
He asked directly, “What do you want to do?”
Shen Heyu didn’t answer his question, instead continuing with the previous topic, “You’ve moved on because it’s been so many years, but do you trust ?”
“You really believe it wasn’t ?”
He didn’t respond.
Sotis silence is an answer in itself.
Shen Heyu knew this would be the outco and scoffed, “If so, what’s this talk of remarriage?”
“I will believe you, but I need to get to the bottom of it.”
“That’s your own affair.”
“Co work at my company,” he said.
The subject changed so abruptly that Shen Heyu didn’t imdiately catch on; she frowned and rejected the idea, “Impossible.”
“The company needs you.”
“That’s your affair.”
Pei Yansi didn’t press further.
Seeing this, Shen Heyu got out of bed to leave. As she was leaving, she was still afraid that this man would suddenly go mad and drag her back, but it turned out she was overthinking.
Pei Yansi didn’t make any moves or even react, as if he had acquiesced to her departure.
Leaving the matrimonial ho, Shen Heyu finally felt a bit of freedom.
At least she didn’t feel as oppressed as before.
Once she was out, she began to look for her daughter.
Seeing her daughter surrounded by many and playing happily, Shen Heyu’s worries eased. At first, she was concerned that her daughter’s sowhat mature character wouldn’t blend in here.
But today’s guests seed to purposely flatter, all aware that they were attending a birthday party for Pei Yansi’s daughter, so they brought all their children of similar age to accompany her.
Seeing her daughter having fun, Shen Heyu didn’t approach to disturb her and silently watched from a corner.
Now, her life only had her daughter in it.
No father, no mother, and her sister had also long left her.
Lost in thought, Lu Yi ca over and sat down next to her, getting straight to the point, “Heyu, are you okay now?”
“I’m fine,” Shen Heyu said, sowhat insincerely.
Lu Yi studied her, but he could see her true feelings, saying, “If you’re in trouble, you must co to . I can tell you’re not happy.”
“Is he giving you a hard ti?”
Shen Heyu shook her head. She dared not talk too much about such things to others; Pei Yansi’s actions were unpredictable to her.
Moreover, the words Pei Yansi had said to Lu Yi before carrying her off still left him apprehensive.
She really worried about dragging down the people around her.
What she had was already so little; this was her only good friend, and she didn’t hope for them to suffer because of her.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Lu Yi took the initiative to guide, “I can see he’s forced you, hasn’t he? Just tell , and I can take you away without looking back.”
Shen Heyu was stunned for a mont, turning to look at him.
eting his sincere eyes, she suddenly felt undeserving; she just wasn’t worth it.
She was about to speak when she heard a cold voice behind her, “Doctor Lu, aren’t you overstepping? My ex-wife, do you need to interfere?”
Lu Yi turned around, eting Pei Yansi’s indifferent eyes.
He wasn’t afraid anymore, standing up to face him, “Ex-wife. She has no relation to you now. Anyone has the right to pursue her.”
Pei Yansi smiled, a smile that never reached his eyes, and said lightly, “In that case, according to you, you intend to pursue her?”
“Yes. We’ve known each other since college, much longer before you knew her. She has you in her heart no longer. Forced love is never sweet. President Pei, do you really need to resort to such vile thods?”
Pei Yansi scoffed.
He looked down upon Lu Yi, then mockingly said, “Sweet or not, I just need to pluck it to quench my thirst.”
“Better than soone who has no power to pluck at all.”
His final words were a direct show of disdain and contempt for Lu Yi.
