She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 427 Have You Ever Loved Me?

Chapter 427: Chapter 427 Have You Ever Loved Me? freёnovelkiss-com

Shen Heyu had never imagined that the high and mighty Pei Yansi would beg her to return.

Even though Pei Yansi had indeed changed significantly after their brief separation, Shen Heyu believed that while external circumstances can change easily, a person’s true nature does not.

Pei Yansi could put aside his pride to speak some conciliatory words to her, but she didn’t believe that the Pei Yansi, accustomed to superiority, would ever beg her.

"You just need to answer my question. If I begged you, would you stay?"

As he spoke, Pei Yansi had walked up to Shen Heyu, the two of them standing very close. When their eyes met, Shen Heyu could see the emotions at the bottom of his gaze.

Shen Heyu’s heart ached inexplicably.

After leaving Pei Yansi, she had lived a peaceful life—her heart had become deadened, no storm in life could stir her emotions anymore.

Yet, since yesterday when Pei Yansi forced her to return to the old place and said many unbelievable things, Shen Heyu’s heart felt like a withered sprout watered anew, seemingly revived from desperation.

Pei Yansi asked her this question with such earnestness. He didn’t appear to be joking, and from what Shen Heyu remembered, he was not someone who joked.

"President Pei, you must be joking." Shen Heyu did not answer Pei Yansi’s question.

"I’m not joking with you; I’m serious."

Shen Heyu had intended to change the subject, but Pei Yansi persistently clung to his question.

She wasn’t wrong— he seemed to genuinely be considering the possibility of asking her to stay.

"Mr. Pei, I’m not joking either. I hope you won’t talk like this anymore," Shen Heyu still avoided his question.

"Even if I begged you, you wouldn’t stay, would you?"

Shen Heyu took a deep breath, "Mr. Pei, some things once passed are past, some people once gone are gone. Let’s not keep looking back; let’s both look forward instead."

"But retrieving you has always been part of looking forward," Pei Yansi said affectionately as he gazed at Shen Heyu.

He had always hidden his love well, but now finding that Shen Heyu was resolute about leaving him, he could no longer remain aloof as he had before.

"Mr. Pei, do you know what I see when I look forward to the future?" Shen Heyu spoke in a calm tone.

"It’s me marrying Chen Lingmeng, and you with Lu Yi, raising Yuexue together."

Hearing Pei Yansi articulate Shen Heyu’s inner thoughts so precisely made her smile slightly. It seemed President Pei wasn’t confused after all?

"I must say, Mr. Pei, you are very astute, able to see right through a person. You’re right, that is indeed what I think. Since you already know my thoughts, why insist on defying my wishes?"

"What about you? Don’t you realize what I’m thinking?" Pei Yansi challenged Shen Heyu.

Confronted with his probing, Shen Heyu subconsciously averted her gaze.

Yes, she did know what Pei Yansi was thinking.

She had not let Pei Yansi have his way, so neither had he let her have hers.

"If we keep entangling like this, we both will only become more miserable, and you’ll sink deeper into the past. Why not try letting go?" Shen Heyu was still trying to persuade Pei Yansi.

"Just tell me, in the past three years, have you ever loved me?" Pei Yansi had never understood Shen Heyu’s true feelings for him.

Because he used to be on a high pedestal, what could he not obtain, what kind of woman could he not possess?

So, when he loved Shen Heyu so deeply that he couldn’t extricate himself, he naturally assumed Shen Heyu should stay by his side.

But Shen Heyu was a living person, not an inanimate object; she had her own thoughts. The past Pei Yansi had always ignored this point, leading to the situation they faced today.

"Is this question still important?" Shen Heyu paused for a moment, the vast living room seemingly filled only with her own breathing and Pei Yansi’s increasingly heavy breaths.

Hearing his sensual breathing, Shen Heyu’s thoughts were thrown into disarray, her mind conjuring up some blush-inducing images.

Shen Heyu quietly regulated her breathing, suppressing those images that bubbled up in her mind.

She turned her head to meet Pei Yansi’s gaze once more.

"It’s important. Because my heart has always belonged only to you. The reason I agreed to get engaged to Chen Lingmeng last time was to investigate her car accident. Their family claimed I had caused it, so they made me responsible for Chen Lingmeng’s latter half of life."

"Shen Heyu, to me, you’ve always been the most important person."

Pei Yansi raised his hand, grasping Shen Heyu’s shoulders.

Listening to his straightforward confession, Shen Heyu’s heartbeat quickened; she felt as though her heart might leap out of her chest.

"So right now, I really want to understand, what exactly are your feelings toward me?"

"Mr. Pei, being so insightful and seeing through people so clearly, don’t you understand my feelings for you?" Shen Heyu didn’t directly answer but countered with a question instead.

The grip of Pei Yansi’s hand on Shen Heyu’s shoulders unconsciously tightened.

"Shen Heyu, you are different from everyone else; only you, I cannot see through, not knowing your true feelings."

Shen Heyu lowered her head, her gaze falling.

"Mr. Pei, since you also can’t discern my feelings, and since we have already missed our chance, there’s no need to bring it up again."

"You may think that question is very important to you, but I don’t think it’s significant because I already have my new life."

"Shen Heyu!" Pei Yansi called out her name in a low tone.

"No matter how many times Mr. Pei asks me, no matter what methods you use to coerce me, my answer will remain unchanged; I don’t want to dwell on the past."

"So you forced yourself to come back here today, right?"

"Yes."

Hearing her unhesitant reply, Pei Yansi let out a self-deprecating laugh.

He released his grip on Shen Heyu’s shoulders and even took a step back, his eyes hiding a sorrowful look as he gazed at her.

"You can do things you don’t want to for Lu Yi, but when will you be able to do the same for me?"

Shen Heyu detected the sadness in his voice.

"Mr. Pei, you and Lu Yi are different; no one is in a position to threaten you. Even now, as the Chen family uses the car accident as leverage to coerce you into marrying Miss Chen, I believe in your capabilities. If you don’t want to marry her, that marriage will ultimately be called off."

"Since you know I won’t end up marrying Chen Lingmeng, why can’t you give us a chance to start over?"

"Do you really need to be fixated on going back to the past?"
