Lu Yi was just venting his discontent angrily, but an unintentional remark he made seed to jolt him awake, and he suddenly looked up, his eyes brightening at the bloodstained walls.
He repeated a phrase to himself.
"That’s right, only if Pei Yansi died would Shen Heyu be able to completely let go of him and accept ."
"As long as Pei Yansi is dead, there will be no Pei Yansi in this world, and no one would stand between and Shen Heyu."
"As long as Pei Yansi is dead, Shen Heyu will be mine, and by then, she would definitely be willing to live a good life with ."
Lu Yi repeated these words like one possessed, and the more he repeated them, the more convinced he beca. That’s right, as long as he got rid of Pei Yansi, then Shen Heyu would be his. He suddenly laughed maniacally and slapped his forehead violently with his hand.
"How did I not think of this sooner?"
All this ti, he had been trying his best to bring Pei Yansi and Chen Lingng together, but Shen Heyu still couldn’t forget him. This thod was completely ineffective, so Lu Yi had to take another path, which was to get rid of Pei Yansi completely.
As long as Pei Yansi disappeared from this world, Shen Heyu would no longer linger over him, and by then, she would definitely be willing to stay by his side.
With this thought, Lu Yi laughed wildly in delight, and he raised his hand to punch the wall, this ti out of excitent and joy.
When the punch landed, he winced in pain and his eyebrows furrowed. Looking up, he saw that his knuckles were grazed, with bloodied wounds that seed to have bits of plaster embedded in them.
Lu Yi furrowed his brow, turned around, and went downstairs to bandage his wounds.
Shen Heyu woke up in the dead of night. When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Lu Yi.
"Why are you here?" Shen Heyu was shocked to see Lu Yi sitting by her bed at such a late hour. Startled, she tried to sit up, but Lu Yi pressed down on her shoulders to stop her.
"Rest well. Do you rember what happened just now? You fainted as soon as you got back. I had the family doctor co and examine you. He said it was just exhaustion from overworking recently."
"While you were unconscious, I had soone cook a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin red porridge to replenish your qi and blood. Have so to warm your stomach and nourish your body."
Lu Yi tenderly picked up the bowl of porridge from the nightstand, and at that mont, Shen Heyu seed to regain her sense of sll and noticed the aroma of the red porridge. She glanced at the bowl of porridge in Lu Yi’s hands.
She instinctively refused, "I’m not very hungry right now, and I don’t really feel like eating anything. Just put the porridge over there, and I’ll eat it when I’m hungry."
"How could that be okay? You’ve been unconscious all night, and I guess you didn’t eat anything when you ca back last night because you were as cold as ice when you fainted in my arms, like you had just been pulled out of cold water."
"But I really don’t have any appetite right now," Shen Heyu slowly lowered her gaze, lacking the courage to look at Lu Yi’s expression, because his expression right now was quite frightening.
"If the person by your side tonight was Pei Yansi, you would probably be very happy when you woke up, right? If it was Pei Yansi who brought this bowl of porridge to you, wouldn’t you obediently eat it?"
"I think if it was Pei Yansi, even if he served you a bowl of plain porridge, you would feel it was warm and holy, right? Unfortunately, the person by your side is , and the one serving you porridge is also ."
Shen Heyu wasn’t refusing to drink the porridge just because of Lu Yi, she genuinely had no appetite. Just thinking about her daughter’s critical condition made it impossible for her to eat anything.
However, she never expected Lu Yi to say such sharp and harsh words to her.
Shen Heyu looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, but his eyes vaguely mixed with a few strands of anger. eting that gaze, she subconsciously lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn’t say anything more to Lu Yi.
Because there was no point in saying anything more to Lu Yi.
"If you want to drink this bowl of porridge, then I’ll drink it for you to see." Shen Heyu really didn’t feel like eating anything, but Lu Yi’s words were so unpleasant that they made her heart ache, and the discomfort in her heart montarily overshadowed the discomfort in her stomach.
So, she grabbed the bowl of porridge and gulped down several mouthfuls.
As she swallowed the porridge, Shen Heyu felt like what she was drinking wasn’t porridge but handful after handful of dry earth. Her stomach churned with the urge to vomit.
"You don’t have to force yourself; I know you don’t want to drink these things. I’m not forcing you. Acting like this makes it seem as though I am," Pei Yansi saw that Shen Heyu’s brows and eyes revealed a hint of joy in her smile. Shen Heyu glanced at his expression, then lowered her head and scooped another big mouthful of porridge into her mouth.
Lu Yi didn’t pay any attention to Shen Heyu’s words, just drinking porridge in big gulps, filling his mouth to the brim.
When Lu Yi saw Shen Heyu like this, he snatched the porridge bowl from her hand and slamd it onto the bedside table next to them. Then he pulled out a tissue, intending to help Shen Heyu wipe the porridge from the corner of her mouth.
But the mont he offered the tissue, Shen Heyu instinctively turned her head away, avoiding Lu Yi’s gesture. She preferred to lift her hand and wipe the porridge off her own mouth rather than let Lu Yi do it with the tissue.
Seeing Shen Heyu’s avoidance, Lu Yi’s heart went cold. He laughed, crumpling the tissue in his hand into a ball and tossing it onto the floor beside him.
He looked down, and the two fell silent for a mont, and in that instant, the whole bedroom seed to turn into an ice cave.
"Lu Yi, there’s sothing I want to tell you." After a long silence, Shen Heyu finally managed to swallow the porridge in her mouth little by little. She looked up at Lu Yi.
"Say whatever you want; there’s no one else here," Lu Yi turned his head to see Shen Heyu’s expression, feeling an ominous premonition, sensing that what Shen Heyu was about to say was not what he wanted to hear.
"I think it’s ti to end this sham marriage. It’s always been just a ga, and it should end when the ti cos, right? Moreover, we had signed a prenuptial agreent."
"Pei Yansi is going to marry another woman in a month, and at this ti, you still want to divorce . You wouldn’t still be thinking about him, would you?" Lu Yi’s heart was already filled with a fire, and Shen Heyu’s words were like adding fuel to the flas.
