She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 417 Still in Love with Her

Shen Heyu just kept her head down, eating her breakfast, and did not interrupt Pei Yansi’s words or give him any response.

Seeing that she did not stop him from speaking, a restrained struggle rolled through Pei Yansi’s adam’s apple.

"I know you’re resistant to bringing up the past three years, and I think your desire to leave me may stem from here. You’ve said it yourself—that’s why you want to leave me."

"Over the past three years, I’ve always treated you in a way I thought was good for you, but I never considered whether you liked that way, whether you really wanted to accept my kindness."

Shen Heyu’s downcast eyes trembled fiercely.

What was Pei Yansi saying? That someone as high and mighty as him would one day confess his past to her?

Shen Heyu smiled slightly. She hid all her emotions very well. Lifting her head to look at Pei Yansi, her smile was somewhat heartbreaking.

"So what are you trying to say? You can’t possibly be telling me you realize how wrong your past treatment of me was, now feeling regretful, wanting to reflect on yourself, and promising to change those bad habits, can you?"

"If I say yes," Pei Yansi looked into Shen Heyu’s eyes. Her smile was still enchanting, but at this moment, seeing her smile only made his heart feel as if it were weighted down with lead.

"President Pei, stop dreaming," Shen Heyu directly cut off what he was saying.

"Don’t you think that treating me the wrong way for three years has left me with a deep shadow, and that it may take a very long time in the future to heal the shadows in my heart?"

"I’m sorry," Pei Yansi sincerely apologized to Shen Heyu.

When Shen Heyu heard his apology, the smile on her face froze unexpectedly, as if it was encased in ice.

"I never thought it would be such an easy thing to have the high and mighty President Pei apologize."

"I know it may be a bit late to apologize to you now, and it won’t heal the shadows I’ve left you with in an instant. The question is, if you give me a chance, I will certainly work hard to prove my sincerity."

Shen Heyu put down her chopsticks. She picked up a cup and took a sip of soda water to calm herself down.

"President Pei, stop making pointless efforts. The future is uncertain, and I’m doing very well now. I don’t want to change the status quo, nor do I want to return to my past life."

Shen Heyu’s refusal left no room for negotiation, and Pei Yansi’s eyes dimmed.

"It’s not pointless, it’s my true feelings for you. I really want to be with you, so I’m willing to re-examine myself and the relationship we had in the past." Pei Yansi hadn’t slept all night yesterday. When he woke up this morning, his mind was still very clear.

He was fully certain that when he said these words now, it was in a state of sober clarity, definitely not nonsense or a dream.

"President Pei, I’ve made my intentions very clear. I will leave here in three days. I hope you won’t devise other reasons to deliberately keep me."

"The past is in the past. We both need to look forward. You don’t need to apologize for how you treated me, nor will I forgive you."

"Am I ultimately unable to make up for the mistakes I’ve made in the past?" Pei Yansi’s eyes showed a hint of wounded emotion, and even his voice sounded mournful at that moment.

Seeing that look in Pei Yansi’s eyes, Shen Heyu’s long-dead heart suddenly seemed to come back to life, quietly beating once. After noticing her unusual reaction, she quickly lowered her head to avoid eye contact with Pei Yansi.

"If President Pei is truly aware of his past mistakes, you don’t need to think about making amends. With that time, it would be better to think about how to treat the new person coming into your life in the right way." Shen Heyu spoke calmly.

"Are you still bothered by Chen Lingmeng’s matter? I promise you, give me one more month, and I will do my best to resolve this issue."

"President Pei, what is my relationship with you now? We’re merely acquaintances. Why should I give you a month’s time? Let me tell you, if some other woman is willing to wait for you, that’s their business. I don’t care, but I definitely won’t be standing still."

"You don’t really like Lu Yi, it’s just that Lu Yi is well-suited to take care of you. He can become your life partner, but he won’t become your marital companion."

Pei Yansi’s straightforward words were said as Shen Heyu and Lu Yi’s relationship had been under his silent observation during the time she was away from Pei Yansi.

Shen Heyu laughed and subconsciously took a big gulp of water from her cup.

"President Pei, the punch Lu Yi threw at you yesterday really didn’t do you wrong. You really are a bit deserving of a beating, you know?"

After Pei Yansi uttered those words, Shen Heyu did not immediately retort.

"If you truly wanted to be with him, you wouldn’t have waited until now. Because if you want to break free, I will definitely try to find a man, your continued hesitation and ambivalence indicate that you don’t truly love him and don’t want to accept him from the bottom of your heart."

"It’s for other considerations that you accepted Lu Yi’s kindness, like his being gentle, considerate, a family caring man, and Yuexue’s liking of him. But you alone haven’t regarded him from your own perspective."

Pei Yansi also calmly stated this commentary, pinpointing the crux of the issue. Shen Heyu subconsciously reached for her cup to take a drink again, only to realize that the cup was already empty.

She simply furrowed her brows, put down the cup, and sternly warned Pei Yansi.

"President Pei, you’re stepping way out of line. This is my business and has nothing to do with you. Regardless of whom I choose or accept, you have no right to interfere. Instead of meddling in other people’s private affairs, you might as well think about your own engagement to the Chen Family’s young lady."

"I’ve had enough to eat, President Pei; you take your time."

Shen Heyu ate only a few bites, but Pei Yansi’s words had filled her with indignation. She simply stood up and went upstairs.

Just as Pei Yansi was about to rise and follow her, his phone on the table vibrated.

He picked up the phone to see that it was a call from Chen Wenzhou.

A call from Chen Wenzhou surely meant nothing good. Pei Yansi frowned and stared in the direction of Shen Heyu’s departure, then answered the call.

"President Pei, I have some details about the engagement party I’d like to discuss with you. Please come over to the Chen Jiayi now. I know you’re free at the company today, and you have plenty of time over the next three days, so don’t think about making excuses to decline."
