“I don’t care,”
Pei Yansi said coldly, “Even if you’re pushed away, I still have the chance and means to drag you back.”
In other words, she could never leave his side.
Shen Heyu fell silent.
She could never agree to his terms.
The events of six years ago had never been forgotten by her.
She maintained her distance from Pei Yansi, staying far enough away so that perhaps his presence might seem less significant.
Several hours later, the plane finally landed.
As soon as they got off the plane, Pei Yansi gripped Shen Heyu’s hand tightly, as if scared she would escape with Lu Yi.
Lu Yi rose from his seat but stayed just outside their row and said, “Heyu, I’ll go first. See you next time.”
Hearing that, Pei Yansi turned to look at Shen Heyu with piercing eyes, keen to see how she would respond.
Shen Heyu smiled and said, “See you next time.”
Lu Yi gave Pei Yan one final look before turning to leave.
Once he was gone, Pei Yan scoffed, “You still expect to see him again?”
“Making a fuss over nothing.”
She stood up, ready to deplane, and had no intention of engaging with Pei Yansi. What she didn’t realize was that the more she ignored him, the more she fueled the jealousy and destructiveness within him.
He let go of her hand, allowing her to walk away.
He followed leisurely behind her, his pace unhurried, with Zhao Jin carrying their luggage.
Pei Yansi had already contacted a driver to wait for them outside the airport.
As soon as Shen Heyu opened the car door, she saw Yuexue sitting in the back with a pristine sheet of drawing paper in her hand.
“Mommy!” Yuexue, seeing her return, was overjoyed. She tossed the drawing paper aside and rushed forward to hug her tightly.
Surprised by her daughter’s embrace, and reflecting on her longing during the days abroad, Shen Heyu sat down with her daughter in her lap and said, “Yuexue, how have you been at school lately?”
Since Shen Yueyue had started at the new school, Shen Heyu had been abroad on business trips and hadn’t been much informed about her situation at school.
Although the housekeeper reported daily, it was not as intimate as hearing about it directly from Yuexue.
Shen Yueyue replied cheerfully, “I’m doing very well at school, and my classmates are easy to get along with, but I really miss both you and dad.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Yan entered the car from outside and heard his daughter’s voice, which finally lightened his otherwise gloomy mood.
Especially seeing in his daughter the traits of both him and Shen Heyu, the thought that she was their living symbol of union satisfied him.
Seeing Yueyue sitting on Shen Heyu’s lap, he slightly furrowed his brow and said, “Let me hold her. Your mother is tired. Don’t sit on her.”

Saying this, he reached out and took his daughter into his arms.
The driver started the car and set off for the Pei Mansion.
Yuexue sat on Pei Yan’s lap, her little hands joyfully waving around. She picked up the first sheet of paper and smiled, “Daddy, look, this is what I drew! It’s our family of three!”
Hearing her final words, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but glance over.
She saw three stick figures on the paper, childishly drawn, yet unmistakably depicting a sweet family scene: the child in the middle, with two adults holding the child’s hands.
A very common and normal drawing, the kind most children produce in their early years.
But, to Shen Heyu, this drawing seemed different.
She could tell that Yueyue truly longed for a complete family and was not averse to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was charmed by the drawing.
He took it from her and said, “Yuexue, this is so beautiful. How about you give this drawing to daddy?”
Pei Yansi was seldom this tender.
Shen Heyu couldn’t help but glance at him.
Only to see that he was not looking at the painting, but at her.
Suddenly meeting his meaningful gaze, Shen Heyu immediately withdrew her own and said to the driver, “Stop at Shen Group.”
Pei Yansi frowned.
His mood had truly been a roller coaster that day.
“What are you doing at Shen Group? You’ve just come back from a business trip, and you’re going to the company again?” Don’t you care at all about our little home?
Shen Heyu said, “What else would I be doing at the company?”
Yuexue blinked her eyes and looked at her, saying, “Mom, aren’t you coming home?”
Confronted with her daughter’s obedient manner, Shen Heyu always found herself softening; she reached out and patted her daughter’s little face, saying, “Of course, I’m coming home. I’ll be back later to be with you.”
Yuexue nodded her head, smiled, and didn’t say anything more about wanting her company.
The driver didn’t hear Pei Yansi stop him, so he obediently drove the car to the lower floor of the Shen Group building.
Before Shen Heyu got out of the car, Pei Yansi said, “I’ll come to pick you up later.”
“No need.”
She directly refused, opened the car door, and left. Before leaving, she only kissed Yuexue’s forehead and did not look back at Pei Yansi again, leaving straight away.
Pei Yansi stared at her retreating figure, his eyes growing dark.
Shen Heyu went to the company and made straight for Shen Jiangli’s office.
She knocked on the door, didn’t hear a response, and went straight in. For so many years, their way of interacting had always been like this, and she had forgotten for a moment. Upon opening the door, she saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa.
Shen Jiangli was on the sofa, and Han Manyin was sitting on him, making faint noises from time to time.
Upon hearing the door open, Han Manyin screamed and immediately got up from his lap, running into the resting room.
“…”
Shen Heyu stood frozen in place, never having anticipated walking in on this scene.
Shen Jiangli casually straightened his clothes and said to her, “Why don’t you come in?”
Shen Heyu coughed awkwardly twice, quickly gathered all the negative thoughts, and walked in. She said, “President Shen, I’m thinking of temporarily leaving the company.”
Shen Jiangli walked over to his desk, sat down, and said, “You’re leaving?”
“The Lu Family’s company is currently under attack.”
“I’ve heard of this, but what does it have to do with you?”
“It’s what Pei Yan did.”
Shen Jiangli paused.
He lifted his eyes, his probing gaze sweeping over her, and after a long while, said, “Does this have something to do with you?”
She didn’t speak, which was as good as a confirmation.
Shen Jiangli said sternly, “I’ve told you before, if there’s anything, you must come to me for help.”
“Now is the time for help,” Shen Heyu said. “I want to temporarily leave the company, help Lu Yi resolve this matter, and then I will come back.”
“I can’t just stand by.”
Shen Jiangli thought for two seconds and ultimately didn’t make it difficult for her, agreeing outright.
Shen Heyu smiled and thanked him, and he waved indifferently, saying, “You know, no matter what you ask for, I will agree.”
Those words were quite ambiguous, and Shen Heyu couldn’t help but think of the scene she had witnessed just as she came in, feeling quite uncomfortable in her heart.
She said nothing and turned to leave.
Only after she left did Han Manyin come out from the resting room. Just like before, she directly sat on Shen Jiangli’s lap and coquettishly said, “What did President Shen mean by what you said to her just now?”
