Chapter 204: Chapter 204: The Phone Call Chapter 204: Chapter 204: The Phone Call Even though she didn’t know why, and was even more confused as to why Shen Jiangli would suddenly change so much towards her, it didn’t affect the acceleration of her heartbeat.
But when she thought of the person who had just called for money, she felt disheartened. She might be able to stay by Shen Jiangli’s side, but perhaps he would never truly have feelings for her.
In the afternoon, as work ended, the setting sun cast a swath of bright red light across the sky and earth. Shen Heyu walked out from the Shen Group building, holding the latest work docunts.
From a distance, she saw Pei Yansi’s car waiting for her by the roadside, the hazard lights flashing. The black Cayenne didn’t stand out among the multitude of million-level cars, but its continuous license plate numbers did.
He looked out the window, and upon seeing Shen Heyu walking towards him, he smiled slightly. At least she no longer pretended not to recognize him as she had done before.
Pei Yansi got out and opened the car door for her. He followed and sat down, asking with a light smile, “The docunts, are they for my company?”
His question referred to whether the docunts pertained to the business deal he had given her.
Shen Heyu nodded shyly. After all, when he first offered her the deal, she had refused.
The smile on Pei Yansi’s face grew wider. “That’s good.”
He was about to instruct Zhao Jin to drive when he noticed Shen Jiangli and Han Manyin coming out together not far away. Although they kept their distance, he could still discern the different atmosphere flowing quietly between them.
He smirked again, surprised that Shen Jiangli would even consider soone like Han Manyin.
Pei Yansi then recalled the phone call from Shen Heyu the night before.
Lu Yi had ntioned it on the other end, about collaborating with Shen Jiangli to help her get away from him. At this thought, he let out a cold laugh, his gaze settling heavily on Shen Heyu’s face.
Bewildered by his intense look, she didn’t know what had co to his mind. A bad feeling crept over her and sure enough, she heard him say next, “Besides by my side, where else do you think you can go?”
Shen Heyu furrowed her brows, not understanding why he would suddenly say that. She pursed her lips and didn’t respond.
From the rearview mirror, Pei Yansi saw the two holding hands and getting into a car.
He rembered the invitation to an event he had received that evening.
It was an invitation that required bringing a female companion, and if he rembered correctly, the guest list included Shen Jiangli.
From the looks of it, he intended to bring Han Manyin.
It wasn’t an event one absolutely had to attend, yet Pei Yansi couldn’t suppress his desire to win or his urge to declare his territory.
Maybe he should take this opportunity to announce his relationship with Shen Heyu to everyone.
With this thought, he seed to dote on Shen Heyu as he embraced her and took the docunts from her hand, “I’m taking you sowhere tonight.”
“Where,” Shen Heyu asked, following which she rembered that it wasn’t the point. She imdiately changed course and declined outright, “I’m not going.”
Having anticipated her response, Pei Yansi wasn’t annoyed. He didn’t even offer her a chance to refuse, instead instructing Zhao Jin to drive to the bar.
Hearing they were going to a bar, Shen Heyu could vaguely guess what kind of scenario awaited.
She wanted to reject the idea, struggling to get out of his embrace to open the car door and leave.
What Pei Yansi liked the least was her trying to avoid him like this.
Especially when she was resisting desperately when taken out to et people.
As if being with him was an imnse disgrace.
His expression turned cold in a flash, and he forcefully pulled Shen Heyu back into a tight hold.
“Didn’t I say, stop avoiding ?”
Pei Yansi’s voice turned several degrees colder, and his grip on her grew tighter and tighter.
Not giving her any chance to escape.
She struggled a couple of tis, but ultimately, she gave up. She tilted her head back, unwillingly fixing those dark eyes on Pei Yansi.
Her eyes were exceptionally bright, and as Pei Yansi quietly watched, he knew the glimr in them was one of disgust.
She despised him.
This was no secret, yet when he beca conscious of this fact once again, he couldn’t help but feel a sting in his heart.
“Be good, listen to .”
Even so, he was unwilling to let go, holding Shen Heyu forcefully in his arms, occasionally bending down to kiss her.
Shen Heyu had no choice but to submit to him in his embrace.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the city’s most famous hotel.
Shen Heyu glanced at the cars parked along the roadside, all of them worth at least a million.
Naturally, she knew that the venue Pei Yansi had brought her to this ti was no ordinary place.
But the more it was like this, the more nervous she felt in her heart, proving that the scenes of her being with him could be captured at any mont by soone.
She had already swallowed the scandal from overseas in silence.
But when she saw the bustling crowd outside the bar, she paused for a mont, not getting out of the car right away.
Pei Yansi waited by the car for a long ti, and seeing no movent from her, grew impatient and reached out to pick her up horizontally.
She was startled, not expecting him to be so bold, and said anxiously, “What are you doing? Put down now!”
“Shhh,” Pei Yansi, far from letting her go, instead leaned down in front of many people, his thin lips near her ear, and whispered ambiguously, “If you don’t want more people to see, then be still, don’t attract attention.”
Shen Heyu truly remained still in his arms then.
Seeing this, he smirked with triumph and walked into the bar holding Shen Heyu.
Shen Jiangli and others arrived in their car a few minutes later and parked behind them.
Upon exiting the car, Shen Jiangli imdiately noticed Shen Heyu being carried away.
Their silhouettes intertwined; to the uninford, they could be mistaken for lovers in the heat of a passionate romance, eliciting endless envy.
Han Manyin followed down from the car and walked up to his side, well aware of what he was watching, yet pretended not to understand and sweetly took his hand, whispering, “Let’s go in.”
Shen Jiangli humd indifferently, allowing Han Manyin to pull his hand, following right behind those two into the venue.
But just as they reached the entrance of the private room, a man suddenly burst out from the other end of the corridor.
The large man rushed out, grabbing Han Manyin’s wrist fiercely and stared at her nacingly, “I told you to send money ho, and you said you had none. If I hadn’t followed you, I wouldn’t have known you co to places like this.”
“If you have no money, how co you can afford to co here? Give it to now!”
Seeing this man, Han Manyin’s face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively stepped back a few paces.
Shen Jiangli noticed her reaction, squinted his eyes, and looked at the man beside him.
Then asked coolly, “And who might you be?”
