Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Confront Him
Pei Yansi spoke as if it was only natural.
But for Shen Heyu, it was not the case at all.
She frowned, her hands tightly clenched in the dark, staring at him coldly, “Are you lying to me?”
“What are you talking about?”
Pei Yansi said, “What did I lie to you about?”
He watched her quietly, a wisp of smoke escaping his lips.
The smoke dissipated, and Shen Heyu’s gaze on his face grew more and more disdainful. She said, “You clearly said before that you wouldn’t go after the people around me again, and it’s only been a few days, and you’ve broken your promise!”
“You forced me to,” Pei Yansi said coldly as he looked at her.
He stubbed out the cigarette, the smoke spreading through the room and then vanishing. He reached out, wanting to pull Shen Heyu to him.
But Shen Heyu quickly dodged.
He frowned, “What are you dodging?” After saying that, he still forcefully pulled her into his embrace.
Shen Heyu furrowed her brows tightly, unable to break free, surrounded by his scent, especially the soft touch of his shirt rubbing against her face.
It felt very cold, even though it carried his body heat.

After struggling in vain, she could only obediently stay in his arms, her eyes still filled with displeasure as she looked up at him.
“Who exactly is forcing whom?”
“You clearly promised—mmph…”
Shen Heyu’s words were cut off as Pei Yansi took hold of her chin, lifting her face, and kissed her deeply.
His kiss was intense and frenzied, forceful, with a hint of punishment and catharsis.
Shen Heyu gasped for breath from his kiss, her brow tightly knit. Her face flushed with shame and anger as she pushed forcefully against him.
The person in his arms struggled hard, and Pei Yansi let go without persisting.
“You’re resisting so much?” Looking down, he gazed deeply at her. Those cold phoenix eyes always seemed tender when looking at her, anyone would think he truly loved her…
Shen Heyu stood up from the sofa, “In any case, I’m telling you for the last time, if you haven’t stopped going after the Lu Family when I return to the country, I will definitely join forces with Lu Yi. I mean what I say!”
Having said that, she didn’t wait for Pei Yansi’s reply and left first, pulling open the door.
Pei Yansi didn’t go after her, simply listening to the sound of the door opening and closing, the resentment in his heart continuing to rise.
He stared blankly into space, his dark eyes as deep as night, wondering about something.
All he knew was that Shen Heyu seemed to really care about Lu Yi.
And she had always been keeping her distance from him.
All the effort Pei Yansi had made over so long seemed to have achieved nothing, not bringing him any closer to her—instead, he had pushed her even further away.
Lu Yi, huh…
A cold smirk appeared on Pei Yansi’s lips; if he were to let this person succeed in staying by Shen Heyu’s side, he might as well write his own name backward.
Shen Heyu left his room, still feeling a fire churning in her belly. She returned to her own room just in time to see Han Manyin and Shen Jiangli coming out of their room.
Shen Jiangli’s assistant was dragging their suitcases, Han Manyin holding hands with him.
On seeing Shen Heyu, Han Manyin’s smile diminished significantly, her clear eyes hiding animosity and resentment.
Shen Heyu chose to ignore this, having long grown accustomed to such looks.
She still had to go to President Cheng today to get the project proposal signed before she could leave. Shen Jiangli, with Han Manyin in tow, said goodbye and left early.
Han Manyin followed Shen Jiangli down to the hotel and got into the car; she never expected to so easily become his woman, to be by his side. She faintly felt that he was just playing with her.
Even Shen Heyu didn’t hold as important a place in his heart as she did.
She had to find a way to climb higher.
Before boarding the plane, Han Manyin went to the restroom. As she was preparing to leave, she received a call from Meng Ru.
Meng Ru said on the phone, “When are you guys coming back?”
“We’re about to board the plane now, Shen Heyu in a couple of days.”
Meng Ru said, “Okay, contact me when you get back. I have a plan.”
“What plan?”
“Of course, a plan to make Shen Heyu and her annoying daughter disappear.” Meng Ru’s voice carried a venomous tone.
She had been working as a director in Pei Yansi’s company and had even given up her career in the entertainment industry. But just because of Shen Heyu’s appearance, everything had reset to the starting point.
How could she be satisfied with that?
As long as Shen Heyu wasn’t there, without her and her daughter, she was sure she could return to Pei Yansi’s side.
“I’ll land in five hours. We’ll be in touch then.”
Han Manyin quickly hung up the phone. She had just recently left college, and to be honest, she had never been involved in such matters before and was somewhat afraid.
She pocketed her phone and walked out, unable to hide a look of fear on her face.
Shen Jiangli saw through her troubled mind at a glance and, seeming unconcerned after boarding, asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing.”
“Is that so?” Shen Jiangli smiled faintly, a light smile with a profound look in his eyes.
He had long been a shrewd person in society; there wasn’t much he couldn’t perceive. But he didn’t think this pertained to Shen Heyu. Instead, he lightly warned, “I don’t like women who are too smart for their good. Best not to play any tricks behind my back in our relationship.”
“It would end very ugly.”
Han Manyin nodded, pretending to be obedient, and snuggled into his arms.
Shen Jiangli always loved to play. He appeared to be warm and gentle on the surface, but in reality, he was more malicious than anyone, especially after being influenced by Western culture.
Yet Han Manyin didn’t know just how cruel he could be and didn’t take his warning to heart.

Shen Heyu quickly went to sign the project contract with President Cheng.
When she returned to the hotel, she had already booked a ticket to prepare for her departure when she heard a knock on the door. Shen Jiangli and Han Manyin had already left; without thinking, she knew who it was.
She went to open the door, and as expected, she saw Pei Yansi standing outside, with Zhao Jin behind him, dragging a suitcase.
He said to her, “Going back to the country together?”
Shen Heyu frowned, outright rejecting, “I’m not going with you.”
“Not going back, is it? Then I’ll have Zhao Jin extend the room.”
“…” Shen Heyu gave him a cold look, but he just ignored it as if he hadn’t heard and she coldly asked, “What exactly are you trying to do?”
“Go back to the country with you.”
Pei Yansi looked at her brows and eyes, seeing that she couldn’t hide her resistance to him, and laughed coldly, “Or is it that you’re waiting for Lu Yi?”
Shen Heyu had no idea how he had brought Lu Yi into the conversation and just found him ridiculous.
She no longer wanted to indulge him. Not only was he threatening and enticing her to stay by his side, but he also kept challenging her with her friends. Did he think she was easy to bully?
She stated directly, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I can feel it, you’re trying to salvage a bit of dignity for yourself.”
