Chapter 144: Chapter 144 You’re So Good
Shen Heyu indeed felt Pei Yansi’s fingers move the next second.
His fingers slowly shifted, caressing under her neck, and after a while, he made a gesture as if he was going to choke her but didn’t.
As he did this, he also looked down at her, quietly staring into her eyes, wanting to see what he desired, whether it was fear or something else.
But her gaze was calm, void of anything, like a dead pool; it had been a long time since she had looked at him that way.
His heart skipped a beat as he eyed her delicate, pale neck in his hands, thinking that with just a little effort, he could take away her breath, make her struggle for life in his hands, control her, and make her unable to leave him forever.
Yet, when he felt the beat of her pulse, his heart skipped again and his hand eventually moved to encircle her waist, pulling her into his embrace as he said, “You really leave me no choice.”
Shen Heyu didn’t speak, just silently remained in his embrace, feeling the familiar yet strangely foreign scent of his body.
She remained unmoved, letting him hold her.
Her words were not wrong; to her, he was non-existent in her eyes, and only such disregard could allow her to keep her true self.
Otherwise, with just a little warmth from him, she feared she would mistake it as having a place in his heart like before.
Those mistakes, she did not want to repeat.
Thinking this, Shen Heyu closed her eyes and said coldly, “I mean what I say, don’t push me. Push too hard, and I might really marry Lu Yi and join forces with him against you, how about that?”
Pei Yansi frowned, his eyes dim and cold. He did not respond to her words nor give any affirmation, just silently held her in his arms.
Initially, it was a simple embrace, but somehow, he found himself wanting to kiss her, lowering his head to capture her lips.

Shen Heyu stood still, letting him make his move, as she understood too well that she could not escape under his control.
A ringing phone interrupted their kiss.
Pei Yansi, who had intended to deepen the kiss, stopped and looked down at her, saying, “Answer the phone.”
Shen Heyu took out her phone and saw an unknown number displayed; she answered, and Han Manyin’s voice came through, “Director Shen, I’ve booked the plane tickets. We leave in three hours, and President Shen will pick you up in one hour. Where are you now?”
Shen Heyu replied, “At Pei Company.”
Hearing this location, Han Manyin paused for a second before responding, “Okay, I’ll inform President Shen.”
With that, the call ended from the other side.
Shen Heyu put her phone away, and warned Pei Yansi for the last time, “I meant what I said, if you dare touch Lu Yi again, I’ll marry him and take Yuexue with me.”
Pei Yansi didn’t take her seriously; she might want to marry, but he wondered if the Lu Family would dare to accept her.
Besides, if she dared to marry, he had the guts to storm in and disrupt the wedding.
What concerned him more was the phone call, he asked, “Are you going abroad with Shen Jiangli? What for?”
“For work-related matters, Mr. Pei. Although you are now a business partner of the Shen Group, you are also a competitor. It’s like a relationship between classmates; surely you don’t think I would tell you the specifics of the job, right?”
Pei Yansi asked, “How long will you be gone?”
“I don’t know.”
Shen Heyu, holding the signed documents, turned to leave and said, “Goodbye.”
Pei Yansi quickened his steps and caught up with her, grabbing her wrist just as she was about to exit the office, preventing her from continuing out. “I’m coming with you.”
“You should stay home with Yuexue. Didn’t you say you cared a lot about your daughter?”
“Yuexue will be starting school soon, she’ll have someone with her during this time.” Pei Yansi said indifferently, for him, Shen Heyu was clearly more important, with Yuexue ranking below her.
Furthermore, she was going to travel alone with Shen Jiangli on a business trip, just the two of them—how could he possibly feel at ease? Six years ago he wouldn’t have allowed it, and he wouldn’t now either.
Shen Heyu checked the time. She hadn’t had dinner yet and needed to eat and then wait for Shen Jiangli. Time was pressing, and she couldn’t afford to waste any more of it with Pei Yansi.
Out of patience, she said, “Let go, I’m in a hurry.”
“Either you don’t go, or I go with you, choose one.”
Pei Yansi was also out of patience. He had already retreated too many steps for her today. Not only did he not let go, but he also pushed the office door shut, pulling her into the room.
Shen Heyu was pulled onto a sofa to sit down.
She frowned, unable to understand this man’s thought process. She looked at him coldly, saying nothing, and he also remained silent, the two engaging in a quiet standoff.
Shen Heyu held out as long as she could, but ultimately her patience couldn’t match this man’s. Reluctantly, she sent her flight details to him and then said, “Can I go now?”
Based on her flight details, Pei Yansi booked himself a ticket too, determined to go with her.
He announced, “You can go now, but you have to take me with you.”
Having said that, he stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
Helplessly, Shen Heyu left. After having dinner at a restaurant near Pei Company, it wasn’t long before Shen Jiangli’s car arrived.
But arriving with it was also Zhao Jin’s car.
Shen Heyu tried to get into Shen Jiangli’s car, but Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his car, saying, “We’re on the same flight, it’ll be more convenient with your ex-husband.”
Shen Heyu struggled but was forcibly pulled into the car.
Seeing this, Shen Jiangli stepped out of his car, discontent, and knocked on Pei Yansi’s window.
The window slowly rolled down, and he stared at President Pei, asking, “What’s the meaning of this, President Pei?”
“It just so happens that Miss Shen and I are on the same flight. It’s more convenient for her to go with me, especially since we have a daughter together, right?”
His last comment carried a tone of asserting dominance. Shen Jiangli’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He lowered his head to look at Shen Heyu and asked, “Do you want to get out?”
Before Shen Heyu could respond, she felt the man beside her grab her hand and occasionally squeezed the center of her palm forcefully, the warning very evident.
She remembered that Shen Jiangli’s car seemed to have Han Manyin in it. As her assistant, of course, she should go with her.
Han Manyin and Pei Yansi, both were people she didn’t want to travel with. Thinking it over, it seemed there wasn’t much to compare after all.
Especially with a man sitting next to her, glaring threateningly.
Weighing the pros and cons, she shook her head and said, “No need.”
Finally, Shen Jiangli gave Pei Yansi a glare, turned, and got into his own car.
As the two cars started to slowly drive off, Pei Yansi pulled Shen Heyu into his embrace and said, “You’re so obedient.”
