Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Younger Brother Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Younger Brother Perhaps it was because Shen Heyu rejected him so crisply and swiftly that Pei Yansi’s face darkened in an instant. Across the dinner table, Shen Heyu could feel the icy, oppressive force emanating from him.
She involuntarily tightened her neck and lowered her head, not daring to look at him, let alone et his gaze.
Pei Yansi watched her quietly. Seeing her act this way, he sneered inwardly. If she knew to be afraid, why say things to anger others?
He said coldly, “Lift your head and look at .”
Shen Heyu didn’t move, not because she didn’t want to, but because she dared not. It was quickly approaching evening, and she knew how crazy this man could get once angered by her.
She didn’t want to relive her last experience in Jiang City at all.
Head bowed, she kept silent. Pei Yansi, seeing her like this, grew even more irritated. If she had just looked up at him and explained herself clearly, perhaps he wouldn’t have been so angry.
With a loud snap.
Pei Yansi flung his chopsticks forcefully onto the table, startling Shen Heyu, who then instinctively glanced up at him.
As she raised her head, Pei Yansi seized the opportunity. He stretched out his hand, gripped her chin, and leaned over the dinner table, like a leopard lurking in the night, fixating his gaze on her, and she was his prey—vulnerable and helpless.
Pei Yansi sneered, “Weren’t you not moving? How co you dare to look at now?”
“Don’t be like this…” Shen Heyu grew scared seeing him like this, genuinely worried he could fly into a frenzy at any mont.
She was worried; her feelings for him were both fearful and affectionate, complex in nature.
Pei Yansi stared into her eyes as if seeing through her, and asked, “Why refuse to go with to pick up our daughter?”
Shen Heyu averted her gaze, not wishing to et his eyes. Was it even necessary to ask why? Of course, she didn’t want to have anything more to do with him. If she went with him, she would surely be seen, and there were so many people at the kindergarten…
She had already made the news abroad because of him, and she certainly did not want to go through that again.
Without her saying a word, Pei Yansi seed to have seen right through her as he said coolly, “Worried that people will find out about our relationship?”
Shen Heyu widened her eyes in surprise, as if questioning how he knew, and her reaction seed like a guilty concealnt.
Pei Yansi let out a cold laugh; there was a storm raging in his eyes. He stared at Shen Heyu and said, “I agreed not to have a wedding ceremony out of respect for your wishes. But now, are you even afraid of people discovering your relationship with ? What are you afraid of?”
Shen Heyu said, “Our current relationship isn’t fitting to be known by others. Besides, you’re not unaware that I’ve always wanted to avoid any entanglent with you.”
What a statent to not want any entanglent with him at all.
Pei Yansi gazed at her steadily for several seconds, his look making Shen Heyu feel utterly exposed, her heart pounding fiercely within her chest.
Finally, he seed to think of sothing and suddenly released her, then sat back in his seat, saying with a heavy voice, “Eat.”
Shen Heyu hadn’t expected him to calm down so easily. She sneakily glanced at him, saw that his face was stern and his eyes lacked discernible emotion, as if he really wasn’t angry. Still terrified, she felt sothing was amiss.
Only after dinner did Shen Heyu enter the bridal chamber, only to be embraced from behind by Pei Yansi. She had barely taken a few steps when he held her tightly from behind and casually kicked the door shut with his foot.
The sound of the door closing echoed in the room.
Shen Heyu had not had the chance to react before Pei Yansi scooped her up and carried her towards the bathroom.
Her heart pounded with panic, knowing that this man was surely going to lose his senses again. She struggled nervously in his arms, “Put down, what do you think you’re doing!”
Pei Yansi looked down at her, wordlessly, and carried her straight into the bathtub inside the bathroom. After placing her inside, he himself tore off his tie and entered the bathtub.
“…Didn’t you say you didn’t want to get involved with ? I think you haven’t sobered up yet, you can’t see the current situation clearly. Take a good look and understand who is the man involved with you…”
Pei Yansi kissed her on the back of the neck from behind her.
Heyu was unable to resist, and could only let him continue. After they left the bathroom, she felt as if she had been stripped of a layer of strength.
He laid her on the soft, large bed, and she closed her eyes tightly.
Pei Yansi lay beside her, holding her in his arms, and said with an unbelievably gentle voice, “Rest well, I will co to pick you up after work tomorrow and we will go together to pick up Yuexue from school.”
Heyu dared not refuse.
In fact, she had regretted her refusal and obstinacy towards him from the mont Pei Yansi started to throw the chopsticks, but because of pride, she couldn’t bring herself to change her stance.
Now, the only one being punished was herself. She felt so regret, so she remained silent, allowing him to hold her as she fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Heyu woke up early, but Pei Yansi was already gone from her side, as he often awoke even earlier than her.
After washing up, she went downstairs and saw Pei Yansi sitting at the dining table with two breakfast plates in front of him, clearly prepared for her.
Indeed, Pei Yansi beckoned her to co and sit down.
Heyu did not dare disobey and took a seat beside him. He watched her quietly eating breakfast, seed to think of sothing, and reminded her, “Rember what I said to you last night.”
Heyu nodded her head.
She had no room to refuse him. At tis, Heyu also felt a secret sense of relief that, thankfully, her feelings towards Pei Yansi…
She forced a bitter smile, not wanting to continue the thought, and just shook her head. Pei Yansi, noticing this behavior, furrowed his brow as if he knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t ask any more questions.
After breakfast, Heyu had planned to use the family driver, but Pei Yansi insisted on taking her himself. With no other option, she agreed.
As the car stopped in front of Shen Group’s building, many people witnessed the scene.
Heyu, with her head lowered, wanted nothing more than to minimize her presence and quickly walked into the company.
Thanks to her clinching the deal with Shao You, the company started to get busy. Heyu, uninterested in other matters, devoted herself to the work in her office. In the afternoon, she vaguely heard intense arguing coming from Shen Jiangli’s direction.
Initially thinking it was an auditory hallucination—after all, how could Han Manyin possibly have the courage to argue with him—she was startled when, just before leaving work, her office door was violently pushed open by Manyin. To say pushed was an understatent—it was more like a kick that made a thunderous noise.
Heyu furrowed her brow and looked over.
Manyin strode up to her desk and glared at her venomously, “Are you satisfied now?”
