She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 414: Bowing Down for Love

Pei Yansi actually said sorry one day, something Shen Heyu had never imagined would come from the high-and-mighty Pei Yansi, that he would bow his head to someone else.

"What did you just say?" Shen Heyu, incapable of believing, trembled her eyelashes, staring at Pei Yansi intently, for the first time since they separated, his gaze was this sincere.

"I thought you were happy during the three years we spent together, I never realized that to you, those three years were a burden and now you don’t even want to mention it, so I feel very sorry."

In the confined space of the car, every word, every sentence spoken by Pei Yansi was heard crystal clear by Shen Heyu, she felt her once-dead heart come alive and start beating again.

"I’m also sorry about today, I was too harsh just now and hurt you by accident, I’ll apply some ointment for you when we get back."

Pei Yansi’s gaze fell on Shen Heyu’s wrist, harboring a concern that was difficult to hide and impossible to fake.

Shen Heyu stared blankly at Pei Yansi looking like this.

She never thought she would see such an expression on Pei Yansi’s face, but she quickly recovered, took a deep breath, wishing she could slap herself. Surely, she must have been mistaken.

"It’s nothing." Shen Heyu took another deep breath and spoke lightly.

She slowly closed her eyes, and when the car stopped, she opened them to see the familiar villa before her.

The driver opened the car door for Shen Heyu, who looked at the peach tree in front of her and felt an unusual surge of emotion. She stepped into the villa where she had lived for several years.

She was very familiar with every inch of this place, once thinking that leaving here would grant her a new life, that she would never return to this place.

But here she was, back on her own, as Pei Yansi came to her side, stopped, and surveyed the villa.

"After you left, everything in here has been kept as it was. Although the arrangement and equipment of these things haven’t changed, without you this house lost its former meaning."

Now that the lady of the house had finally returned, Pei Yansi turned to look at Shen Heyu with a gaze filled with tender pity, within his eyes lied a profound longing.

Ever since Shen Heyu left, Pei Yansi often stayed at the company, occasionally resting at other residences, rarely coming back here, occasionally returning to reminisce about Shen Heyu. Despite his difficulty in letting go of this place, he seldom came back.

Now Pei Yansi had finally figured out why he resisted coming back here when Shen Heyu wasn’t present, because although the house remained, the lady of the house was gone.

This villa was considered home by Pei Yansi because it had family in it, not because of the luxury of the villa itself.

"It doesn’t make sense to keep my old things after I left. You’re going to feel nostalgic. If you want to start over, why not do it decisively? Throw all those old things away so you can..."

"But I can’t bring myself to throw those old things away; I’m attached to them. I just want to bring that old person back, have her live here again, return to our previous life."

Towards the end of his sentence, Pei Yansi suddenly remembered the question he had asked Shen Heyu in the car; he didn’t want to mention those three years at all.

His Adam’s apple moved silently, "If you didn’t like the way we lived these past three years, then can we start again, start fresh with the old person, is that okay?"

"How do I make you understand?" Shen Heyu sighed helplessly.

"The things you’re saying to me, perhaps I’ll never understand my whole life. So you’ll never be able to get away from me for as long as I live."

"Mr. Pei, there’s really no point in this. Even if you can keep me by your side, my heart has drifted far away. And this time, I’m only coming back to stay for three days."

"After three days, I will leave, no matter what you do. I must return to Lu Yi."

Speaking of Lu Yi, Shen Heyu didn’t know what his situation was like now, whether he had waited for the rescue vehicle or not. She frowned and extended her hand to Pei Yansi.

"Give me back my phone."

Pei Yansi laughed suddenly, "Is it so you can call Lu Yi? Even if your person is by my side, does your heart still have to fly to him?"

"Mr. Pei, I hope you understand that it’s my phone. You have no right to take my things, do you?"

Shen Heyu reminded Pei Yansi with a calm voice, her eyes devoid of any emotional ripples. Pei Yansi, meeting such a gaze, felt as if a rusted knife was cruelly stabbing his heart.

"Alright."

"I just now realized that I’m still treating you with my old attitude. I remember now, you said you didn’t like the old way, so I will change now. I will prove it to you."

Pei Yansi handed the phone back to Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu immediately called Lu Yi, only to find that his phone was turned off.

How could his phone be off? Shen Heyu immediately called Lu Yi’s friends and relatives, and not one of them knew his whereabouts.

Shen Heyu felt an inexplicable panic rising within her and immediately headed towards the exit, but Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist.

"It’s a matter of life and death, Mr. Pei. I hope you won’t throw a tantrum now. I need to confirm Lu Yi’s safety."

Shen Heyu tried to shake off Pei Yansi’s hand, but his grip on her wrist only tightened.

"If you’re worried about Lu Yi, I can have someone confirm his safety. You promised to stay with me for three days, and these three days are especially precious. I won’t allow you to spare anyone even a second."

Shen Heyu was stunned for a moment by what he just said; he actually made a concession, accepting that someone else could check on Lu Yi’s well-being.

"Alright."

"But I hope you stick to your word, no deceiving or hiding anything from me, send someone right now to confirm his safety. If he’s alright, I’ll stay by your side dutifully."

Pei Yansi called Zhao Jin right in front of Shen Heyu, "Find Lu Yi and confirm he’s physically safe, not threatened."

After hanging up, Pei Yansi looked at Shen Heyu coldly, "Is that okay now?"

"Good. Since you’ve agreed to my condition and are checking on my friend’s safety, you can let go of my hand now. I won’t leave."
