Chapter 188: Chapter 188 His Gentleness
Shen Heyu watched Han Manyin from the back seat, her eyes cold and indifferent, yet because of the alcohol, her gaze appeared blurry, lacking the usual intimidation.
Han Manyin was no longer as scared as before; she gave Shen Heyu a cold smile and was about to start the car when she saw another vehicle approach from a distance.
It was Pei Yansi’s car, with its string of distinct, eye-catching numbers on the license plate.
She hesitated, her motion to start the car coming to a halt.
The car drew nearer, ran parallel to hers, and the window rolled down, slowly revealing Pei Yansi’s handsome face.
The window of the back seat, where Shen Heyu was, wasn’t closed.
He caught sight of her, slumped in the back seat, seemingly drunk.
He got out of his car, knocked on the side door, and Han Manyin hurriedly unlocked it.
He opened the door and lifted Shen Heyu out and smelled the scent of alcohol on her, frowning as he asked, “Have you been drinking?”
With no intention of tattling and still dizzy from the alcohol, Shen Heyu replied, “Accompanying a client…”
“What kind of client is worth you drinking so much?”
“Umm…” Shen Heyu furrowed her brows tightly, feeling uncomfortable, as if the alcohol in her stomach was continuously causing havoc. She couldn’t take it anymore and began to stir restlessly in his arms, clearly unable to answer any of Pei Yansi’s questions.
Seeing her in this state, Pei Yansi gave up on getting any answers and glared at Han Manyin in the driver’s seat, as if demanding an explanation.
Feeling his stare, Han Manyin felt compelled to explain, “It was Shao You.”
Pei Yansi knew this person—Shao You was an upstart in the city who had been moving aggressively in the past two years. He often secretly opposed Pei Yansi, but since his abilities were lacking, each time he only started to show a spark, Pei Yansi snuffed it out in the cradle.
He never expected that Shen Heyu would be doing business with such a person.
Carrying Shen Heyu in his arms, Pei Yansi turned and got into his own car.
Shen Heyu was placed in the back seat and, feeling uncomfortable, twisted to try to get up, but Pei Yansi firmly pressed down on her shoulders, “Don’t move.”
Shen Heyu pouted, “Stomach, it hurts…”
Pei Yansi frowned, looking quite vexed but then said to Zhao Jin, who was driving, “Go home.”
Seeing her frown deeply, Pei Yansi held her in his arms and began to gently rub her stomach, asking with unusual tenderness, “Does it still hurt?”
Shen Heyu nodded with a soft whimper.
Initially, she just felt a bit tipsy, but as the effects of the alcohol took hold, her stomach felt like it was on fire. The burning sensation was so intense, and her insides felt as though they were churning wildly, causing her extreme discomfort and making her feel like vomiting.
Her mind wasn’t clear, so she didn’t see Pei Yansi’s gentle demeanor.
Pei Yansi held her gently and patiently, continuing to soothe her aching stomach. Soon, the car stopped outside the Pei Family mansion, and he carried her into their marital room with quick steps.
It was still noon, Yuexue was still at school, the elderly lady was napping, and the household servants were all resting, leaving the house eerily quiet.
Pei Yansi went to the kitchen and personally prepared some hangover soup. When he came upstairs with it, Shen Heyu had already dozed off due to the influence of the alcohol.
He carried the hangover soup, propped her up from the bed, and coaxed softly, “Come on, drink this soup first. Otherwise, you’ll have a severe headache from the hangover.”
Shen Heyu couldn’t comprehend what he was saying and felt weak all over, allowing Pei Yansi to handle her as he pleased. She was held in his arms, and he fed her the soup one spoonful at a time.
Shen Heyu hadn’t felt such extreme tenderness and warmth in a long time.
Curious about who the person was, she forced her eyes open amidst the haze. She saw Pei Yansi’s handsome and gentle face and stared blankly, as if uncertain, calling out, “Yansi?”
She called out his name with such affectionate intimacy for the first time, especially in a voice softened by drunkenness, laced with a hint of coquettishness.

Pei Yansi paused for a moment when she called him with that voice.
He pinched her reddened little face, “Hmm?”
“Is it really you?” Shen Heyu was somewhat surprised, a trace of sobriety flitting through her eyes, but that clarity did not last long as her gaze quickly turned hazy again.
The bowl of soup had been finished, and she began to feel heavy with sleepiness. Pei Yansi set down the bowl and carefully laid her down on the bed to rest.
He patiently pulled up the covers for her and tenderly kissed her forehead.
Only then did he turn and go to the study to attend to his affairs.
With the assistance of alcohol, Shen Heyu slept straight through to dinner time. When she awoke, she heard the cheerful laughter of her daughter from downstairs, along with Pei Yansi’s gentle words coaxing their daughter.
The distance was too far for her to hear clearly.
She lay there for a while to gather her thoughts before wanting to get up, but the room door was pushed open and Pei Yansi entered and sat on the edge of her bed. “Are you hungry?”
Shen Heyu shook her head and pressed her temples with her hand.
Seeing this, Pei Yansi asked, sensing something, “Headache?”
She nodded, and he reached out to draw her into his arms, his hands pressing on her temples, massaging.
Shen Heyu was overwhelmed by his gentle gesture.
She had never imagined that Pei Yansi could be so gentle with her.
Her eyebrows knit tightly as she tried to move away from his embrace, but he pressed down on her more forcefully and said, “Don’t move, let me help you.”
He kneaded her temples with his hands, his fingers were strong and warm. His technique was excellent, and soon she didn’t feel as much pain in her head, and her thoughts became much clearer.
As her thoughts gained clarity, she couldn’t help but think of other matters, reminding her of Bai Sheng’er, who Han Manyin had mentioned to her the night before.
She asked, “Where is Bai Sheng’er? Why haven’t I seen her since Yuexue’s eye recovery?”
After she finished speaking, she distinctly felt the man holding her pause, and his body tensed up for a moment.
He frowned, “Are you concerned about her? Or are you suspecting me?”
“What am I suspecting you of?” Shen Heyu said, “I just want to know, she was so clingy to you before, why has she suddenly disappeared without a trace?”
“This is not something you should ask.”
Pei Yansi’s voice turned cold, as if the tenderness he had shown her was just fleeting, and he said coldly, “What you should understand is that from now on she will no longer appear to disrupt your and Yuexue’s life.”
Shen Heyu had no choice but to believe it.
But what concerned her more was how he could be so certain and what he had done without being willing to tell her?
As she was pondering, she heard the man above her urging, “Get up, wash up, and eat.”
He let her go, and Shen Heyu got out of bed. After washing up, she went downstairs, where the dining table was laid out as usual with many dishes, all of which she enjoyed.
Yuexue had already gone back to her room to do homework.
The old lady was also not there; only the two of them remained in the dining room. Pei Yansi sat in his chair and said to her, “I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow, and we can go pick up our daughter from school together.”
Without a second thought, Shen Heyu directly refused, “I’ll go on my own.”
