Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Truth
After he hung up the phone, Shen Heyu finally said, “Have you gone mad?” Traveling halfway around the world, asking someone to come over, just for a shirt?
Pei Yansi didn’t say anything. He took some clothes from the wardrobe and went into the bathroom.
Shen Heyu watched his back and soon heard the sound of running water in the bathroom. Without her having to say it, she knew he was going to stay the night.
She had already compromised by staying by his side; what would happen next, she already knew. She sighed—it was inevitable anyway.
She walked to the bed and lay down.
Since she couldn’t avoid it, she might as well treat it as enjoyment.
Not long after, the sound of water stopped.
Shen Heyu’s heart also picked up.
Pei Yansi turned off the lights in the room and climbed into bed.
Shen Heyu felt his just-washed, still-cool body press against her back, and his male scent quickly enveloped her.
She frowned, thinking of pushing him away, but he reached out and held her tightly.
His chin rested on her shoulder as he said, “Don’t move, let me hold you for a bit, just hold you.”
Shen Heyu truly didn’t move.
She obediently stayed in his arms, feeling his breath and heartbeat. It felt both strange and familiar.
He didn’t speak anymore, and Shen Heyu became sleepy. Although it was hard to fall asleep in his embrace, as time passed, she became overwhelmingly tired and her eyelids fought against each other as she began to drift off.
Just before she fell asleep, she suddenly heard him whisper something into her ear.
She was about to plunge into a dreamy haze but was immediately alert, asking instinctively, “What did you say?”

“Nothing,” Pei Yansi nuzzled her neck, looking very affectionate, “Sleep.”
Shen Heyu mumbled a response and fell asleep.
Pei Yansi listened to the prolonged breathing of the woman in his arms, and close to her ear, he repeated what he had said earlier that she hadn’t heard clearly, “I’m sorry.”
Shen Heyu heard nothing.
She slept deeply, dreamlessly. Though reluctant to admit it, she knew very well that since staying here with Pei Yansi, her sleep had been better than it had been in years.
When she woke up, Pei Yansi was already gone.
The bed was cold; he had left a long time ago.
She got up, washed up, and headed out, first stopping by her daughter’s room.
Yuexue was already up, playing with building blocks in her room.
Shen Heyu approached, looking at her daughter’s soft little cheeks, and couldn’t resist poking them with her index finger.
“Morning, Mommy!” Yuexue didn’t mind her mother’s action, as if she was already accustomed to it. Focused on the blocks before her, she said, “Daddy gave me this block set this morning.”
“He said that after it’s built, it’ll be a big house. Then, all three of us will live there together.”
Yuexue’s tone was filled with undeniable joy, her mouth curving up as she spoke.
Children don’t know how to hide their feelings, and Shen Heyu saw right through hers.
She could tell—Yuexue truly longed to have both parents. And who wouldn’t want that? Shen Heyu remembered how she and her sister had hoped for the same when they were young.
Unfortunately, they never met good parents.
Before she could say anything, she heard Yuexue add, “Daddy also said that I’m going to start school soon. Then I won’t be at home as often.”
At this point, Yuexue suddenly turned her head, looked at Shen Heyu with a serious face, and said, “Would you be lonely if I weren’t at home?”
Shen Heyu patted her little head. “Of course not. But you’ve just arrived. Can you adapt?”
Yuexue bravely nodded her head to show she could.

Pei Yansi was in his study, having not gone to the company today.
The door of the study was tightly closed, and no sound could be heard from inside.
He sat back on the sofa in the room, listening to Zhao Jin’s report.
“I’ve already investigated, and the person from many years ago was not Miss Shen. It was Shen Fanshuang.”
Pei Yansi’s figure stiffened. “Are you sure?”
“It should be…”
Pei Yansi’s expression turned cold, and he stared at him with an unfriendly gaze. “Should be?”
Zhao Jin hurriedly said, “I cannot be certain either, only that too much time has passed, and it took a long time even to find that segment of surveillance footage.”
“Moreover, the quality of surveillance from many years ago can’t compare to the present. The images are too blurry, and I…”
The people in the video were not only numerous but also chaotic, making it extremely difficult to distinguish clearly, compounded by the blurry quality and the darkness of night.
Although Shen Heyu and her sister had completely different styles, the woman in the video had her long hair draped loosely, making it nearly impossible to see her face clearly.
Pei Yansi seemed to grasp his meaning and directly extended his hand, saying, “Give me the surveillance footage.”
Zhao Jin quickly pulled out his mobile phone, located the video he had prepared in advance, and handed it to him.
Pei Yansi clicked play and watched as the video slowly progressed.
Although the footage was very chaotic and Shen Heyu’s long hair was loose, covering much of her face, she could still be recognized.
The person here was her.
The person he had saved before was her, not any Shen Fanshuang.
But he always remembered that when Shen Fanshuang pursued him, she had always said it was because he saved her, and she wanted to repay the favor.
Pei Yansi realized just how outrageously wrong he had been. Thinking back, it seemed possible Shen Fanshuang had heard about Shen Heyu’s incident and took on her identity to approach him.
With that in mind, could her death also have been an accident? Maybe it truly had nothing to do with Shen Heyu.
It was he who had been unwilling to believe in Shen Heyu all along.
He massaged his temples, feeling exhausted, and said, “Have you found out about the incident at the bar all those years ago?”
“I haven’t yet…” Zhao Jin said nervously, afraid of provoking his anger.
However, Pei Yansi did not say much, only instructed him with a stern voice, “Continue investigating for me. It must be thoroughly clarified.”
“Understood.”
“Have you selected the school you were asked to choose?”
He had previously instructed Zhao Jin to find a suitable school to prepare for Yuexue’s admission. She was now six years old and, at the very least, should be attending the senior class of kindergarten.
Zhao Jin nodded repeatedly; he had indeed taken care of this matter. He said, “At Little Miss’s last birthday, I noticed she got along well with a daughter from a business owner’s family, so I specifically went to look for the kindergarten that girl attends. Luckily, the school was also good. I think it suits Little Miss very well.”
“Send me the materials.”
After Pei Yansi reviewed the kindergarten Zhao Jin had found, it indeed was a very good aristocratic school. Although being an aristocracy, they did not grant favors to anyone. The students who attended were all there on their merit.
Pei Yansi thought this was a good choice, stood up to leave the study, and decided to personally ask Yuexue about her preferences before making the final decision.
