Pei Yansi had spoken, and Zhao Jin, a man paid to get things done, could say no more. He could only lower his head and say, "I understand."
Shen Heyu had honestly stayed at Lu Yi’s house for three days.
On the third day, which was also the final day for her to consider Lu Yi’s proposal, Lu Yi looked forward to hearing her response. He smiled as he watched the three days pass, noticing that Shen Heyu seed haggard and had aged significantly.
"How about the matter I asked you to consider previously? It’s ti for you to give an answer now. Why haven’t you visited your daughter in the hospital these days?"
Lu Yi sat on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, leisurely savoring it.
"Lu Yi, I’m begging you, please consider Yuexue. No matter what, you once truly cared for Yuexue, you do have feelings for her, right? You wouldn’t just watch her suffer to death. She’s still so young, only three or four years old, she has such a long life ahead of her."
Hearing Shen Heyu’s words, Lu Yi frowned in dissatisfaction and set down his coffee cup.
"At this point, you’re still conducting this pointless investigation. Didn’t I make myself clear before? Spare these pointless words. I’m only giving you two choices."
"The first is to agree to my demand, sleep with , and I’ll give you the antidote, and your daughter will be saved. The other choice is to refuse, and if you do, you won’t get the antidote from or from Chen Wenzhou, and you’ll have to watch the next generation die."
Every word Lu Yi said was exceptionally cold to Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu stood frozen, a bitter smile pulling at her lips. "Lu Yi, do you really have to be so heartless? Yuexue is so good to you, and you know it. Why do you have to be so cruel to her? Even if she isn’t your biological daughter, you once treated her like one."
"Stop playing the sentint card with , it won’t work. The three days are up, and you’re just thinking of stalling. Once you’ve made up your mind, tell ." Lu Yi frowned and took a sip of his coffee, while Shen Heyu stood there, watching his indifferent deanor and suddenly began to laugh coldly.
"What are you laughing at? What’s there to laugh about? In such a predicant, you can still laugh. Do you realize your daughter is suffering in the hospital? Her life and death depend on your words now. I want to see what choice you’ll make."
"Are you delaying your answer until today because Pei Yansi is getting married to Chen Lingng soon? At this ti, you’re still thinking of remaining chaste for Pei Yansi."
Lu Yi looked at Shen Heyu with dissatisfaction, while Shen Heyu looked at Lu Yi with disappointnt and pain. eting her gaze, Lu Yi felt a jolt, as if he had been electrocuted.
"Lu Yi, by using such despicable ans, even if you have my body, you won’t have my heart. Even if you bind to you now, the mont I get the chance, I will escape from you."
"Just like before with Pei Yan. He did everything he could to keep by his side, but in the end, I still escaped, didn’t I?"
Shen Heyu stood weakly, like a reed in the wind, seemingly about to collapse with just a breath.
"Didn’t you say it yourself? I’m not Pei Yan. Pei Yan was so useless he let you escape, but I will not make such a mistake. Since I can keep you by my side, I’ve already figured out how to bind you to for life."
"Lu Yi! Why have you beco like this? You used to be so gentle and kind. If you say it’s all my fault you’ve beco like this, then why don’t you take it out on ? Please spare Yuexue. She’s innocent. She’s just a child. She hasn’t done anything wrong and shouldn’t suffer this punishnt. It’s simply unfair to her."
Hearing Shen Heyu’s words, Lu Yi, furious, threw his coffee cup and stood up from the sofa, slowly approaching her.
He walked towards Shen Heyu, forcing her to step back.
"Fair? You dare talk about fairness in front of , when I’ve been wholeheartedly devoted to you all this ti, have you ever considered being fair to ? What did my caring efforts get in return?"
Shen Heyu slowly lowered her head, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
"I’ve told you, if you hate , take it out on , but don’t harm a child. She’s always been innocent and shouldn’t be dragged into this conflict. She’s so young, she should be enjoying her carefree childhood."
"You’re wrong, she’s not innocent at all. Her mistake is being your daughter, so she should bear this fault with you. What does being young matter? It wasn’t who poisoned her in the first place. I’ve already reached out to offer the antidote, but you refuse to et the terms of the exchange."
"How can you possibly make such a demand?" Shen Heyu clenched her fists, almost biting through her lips.
"Is my condition so outrageous? One night with in exchange for your daughter’s life. It’s a deal that, however you look at it, seems far from being a loss. If you think it’s a losing deal, you can leave right now. I won’t stop you."
That day, Shen Heyu slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Lu Yi, who couldn’t et her gaze and turned away.
The two fell into a silent mont, Lu Yi then slowly turned back, his eyes intensely fixed on Shen Heyu.
"I’ve given you a chance to leave, and you chose not to! If you want to leave, the mont you walk out that door today, be ready to collect your daughter’s body. I’m telling you, my patience has limits. Will you agree to my terms or not? If you don’t, I’ll throw that antidote into the pond."
Lu Yi pressed Shen Heyu relentlessly, and under his coercion, she reluctantly, resignedly, closed her eyes and sighed.
"Don’t throw that antidote into the pond. You just want to spend one night with you, I agree."
