She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 123 - Disdain
Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Disdain
Pei Yansi also didn’t know the matter that Meng Ru and Bai Sheng’er were up to…
Meng Ru had come behind his back.
Shen Heyu felt a flicker of wavering in her heart.
Could it be that her expectations of him had been too high? After all, once he found out, he didn’t let them off.
She was silent; feeling that Yuexue had lost her sight, her other senses became exceptionally sharp, especially now she was more sensitive to the emotional changes in Shen Heyu.
She hurriedly asked, “Mom? What’s wrong, did someone upset you?”
Shen Heyu tried to sound casual, “It’s nothing.”
Yuexue responded with an “oh,” “What about Dad?”
Shen Heyu was slightly stunned, realizing that her daughter was starting to develop feelings for Pei Yansi, she said, “He has something to do today.”
“Oh, I thought… He promised to come tell me a story last night, but he didn’t come, and he hasn’t come now either.”
“Then Mom has to remember to tell him, no matter how busy, to remember to rest and not be like you, toiling away without eating or sleeping.”
Yuexue spoke with sincerity, a gentle smile gracing her lips.
Shen Heyu kissed her daughter’s little cheek, “When did he promise to tell you a story?”
When mentioning this, Yuexue seemed to be in a good mood, her smile widening, “Mom has been very busy recently, hardly at home during the day, or only around for a little while at night. When Dad was with me, he would always tell me stories.”
“He’s always the one to coax me to sleep.”
Yuexue thought about it; this was a feeling she had never had before. Having a dad could be so blissful! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have trusted him so quickly, even wanting to help him convince Mom to move in here!
Of course, this was something Yuexue would never tell Shen Heyu.
“What else did he tell you?”
“He said he wanted to remarry Mom, that he was sorry for what he did to you, and wanted a chance to make amends, asking me to help him!” Yuexue giggled, “But I didn’t agree; I wouldn’t betray Mom!”
Seeing her daughter’s triumphant expression, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but laugh.
Little did she know, this little thing had already “sold” her out long ago, even helping him to “count the money”…
Shen Heyu said, “You should rest well, Mom will come see you again later.”
Shen Yueyue nodded vigorously, sending her off with a smile.
Shen Heyu went downstairs and saw Madam Pei sitting on the sofa, with aunts in the kitchen busy at work.
After Pei Yansi’s incident, the news was completely locked down and didn’t spread outward, especially not within the family.
The old lady was getting on in years and couldn’t withstand such turmoil.
She also didn’t plan on divulging the matter, stepping forward and calling out, “Grandma Pei.”
The old lady smiled at her, unchanged from six years ago, and said, “Heyu, if you’re willing, you can still call me Grandma.”
Shen Heyu smiled back but still felt it inappropriate to take up the offer, shifting the topic, “Is there soup in the kitchen?”
“Yes, the nutritionist from before—you know, after you came back, Yansi hired them back again.”
Shen Heyu thanked her, very polite and distant. Madam Pei felt somewhat pained as she watched Shen Heyu’s retreating figure approach the kitchen.
She had always liked her, yet when it came to the young people’s affairs, there was only so much she could get involved in.
Shen Heyu went into the kitchen, looked for the nutritious soup the aunts had prepared in advance, and took some other foods with a thermal lunch box before leaving quickly.
She feared Madam Pei would ask questions on her way out, but she said nothing, easing Shen Heyu’s mind.

She carried the items to the hospital.
In the hospital, after Zhao Jin saw Shen Heyu off, he went to meet someone.
He reported everything that had happened in the car to Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi furrowed his brows deeply after hearing this, “Is that all she said?”
Zhao Jin nodded, “I feel that Miss Shen still doesn’t trust you enough.”
“No need to tell me,” he shot Zhao Jin a cold glance.
Zhao Jin realized he’d misspoken. President Pei would have certainly seen through this little matter. If he brought it up again and poked at the heart of the issue, he would be in the wrong…
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but lower his head submissively.
Pei Yansi just quietly watched him, growing increasingly irritated. He said, “You go to the company first.”
Zhao Jin, feeling like he’d been granted a pardon, hurried out and, upon opening the door, bumped right into Shen Heyu who was arriving.
“Miss Shen…” Zhao Jin called out.
Shen Heyu nodded in acknowledgment, a polite greeting, and walked in carrying her things, with Zhao Jin closing the door behind her.
After placing the food and tonic soup she brought down, Shen Heyu also lowered the small table from the sickbed and arranged everything neatly for Pei Yansi before she said, “These were made by your aunt at home, they should suit your taste.”
Pei Yansi was picky with his food; she had always known that.
So she didn’t entertain the thought of cooking for him.
Her phrase “from your home” slightly irked Pei Yansi; what was this “your home, my home”? She really knew how to draw the line.
He sat up, pretending to say, “I’m injured and don’t have the strength. Feed me.”
Shen Heyu could see that he was doing it on purpose. She said, “Your injury is on your back, not your hands!”
“The back muscles are pulling and my hands hurt.”
“…” Shen Heyu stared at him for a long while; he made a face as if his hands truly couldn’t lift.
Thinking about the deep wound he had yesterday, she finally compromised. She picked up the chopsticks from the small table and fed him, bite by bite, carefully.
Pei Yansi had a few bites and then said, “Thirsty.”
Shen Heyu put down the chopsticks and reached for the soup bowl, ladling it out with a spoon. However, as she brought the spoon to his lips, he suddenly knocked it with his hand and the spoon fell to the floor.
It made a tinkling sound.
As Shen Heyu bent down to pick it up, Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist.
“No need for a spoon.”
“Then what should we use?” she asked, looking at him curiously.
His gaze fell upon her moist lips. She had gone back once, all cleaned up, and even applied her usual lipstick; her lips were full and lustrous, darkening his eyes with desire.
Shen Heyu was no longer an ignorant young girl, she could certainly discern the improper look in a man’s eyes when he gazed at a woman. Just as she thought to move back, Pei Yansi pulled her in more forcefully.
The soup bowl in her hand was also taken by his other hand and placed on the table before him.
Then he wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing her closer to him; her head instinctively bent down.
He looked up and accurately captured her lips with his own.
Shen Heyu was stunned until half a second later when she remembered to struggle. He had just eaten, which she found extremely off-putting!
Pei Yansi merely pecked her lips lightly and didn’t deepen the kiss. When he opened his eyes and saw the disgust in hers, he lost his inclination, touched her lips gently, and then moved away. He looked at her intensely, asking, “Do you despise me?”
“…” Shen Heyu lowered her eyes, “No.”
She couldn’t even explain to herself why she lied, perhaps it was the oppressiveness in his gaze at the moment.
He saw right through what she was thinking and pointed it out directly, “Do you find me disgusting?”
“…”
“Is that it?”
