She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 83 - : Return to the Country
Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Return to the Country
Shen Heyu moved to a new house with Yuexue, and Pei Yansi had not come to find them since.
Days passed quickly, time flew like an arrow, and the years slipped by like a shuttle.
Six years later, thanks to Shen Heyu’s meticulous care, Yuexue, who was frail at birth, had been well-nourished. Although she still had congenital deficiencies, was prone to sickness and had a weak digestive system, she had grown healthy and plump, her radiant appearance akin to a porcelain doll, eliciting affection from everyone.
Shen Heyu had been working at Shen Group all these years, gaining a considerable reputation in the industry and eventually leading her own team.
Recently, Mr. Shen was considering returning to their homeland to expand their business and gradually shift their operations back domestically, but he needed to establish a connection.
The most influential player in the domestic business sector was the Pei Family.

Establishing a connection and collaborating with the Pei Family was the simplest approach. However, attaining cooperation with the Pei Family was not easy, and Mr. Shen planned to send competent personnel back home to assess the situation before making a decision.
During the meeting, when Mr. Shen asked this, few responded, as there were hardly any locals present.
All eyes turned to Shen Heyu.
A woman who had always been on bad terms with Shen Heyu in the company said, “President Shen, you’ve been taking such good care of Heyu, and since she is originally from our country, why not send her?”
“Also, I heard her child’s father is in the homeland, right? It would be good for the family to reunite. It’s been six years since Heyu last visited, hasn’t it?”
Hearing this, Shen Heyu nodded casually out of politeness.
Mr. Shen asked, “Heyu, would you be willing to go?”
Shen Heyu thought about it, she owed a lot to the Shen family for their years of support, and she ought to reciprocate. Besides, her homeland indeed called to her.
She nodded, “I can do that.”
With that, it was decided; that evening, Shen Heyu went home and discussed it with Aunt Ning, who decided to return to the homeland with them.
The next morning, Shen Heyu set out early.
Shen Yueyue, being very sensible, didn’t linger in bed either and got up with her, rubbing her sleepy eyes, she asked, “Mom, are we leaving now?”
“After breakfast, we’ll go.”
Shen Yueyue nodded and followed Shen Heyu to the bathroom, dutifully picking up her toothbrush and cup and earnestly began to clean herself.
Shen Heyu watched her, her small head only reaching her waist, looking adorable with her earnestness.
Her features greatly resembled Pei Yansi’s, who was exceptionally striking, the type to dazzle in a crowd.
This made Yueyue look even more beautiful and cute. Even though she resembled Pei Yansi more, she inherited Shen Heyu’s beauty, which didn’t make her look too masculine.
Seeing her like this, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but worry—if Pei Yansi happened to see Yueyue during this trip back to the homeland, who knows what trouble might arise?
Abroad, Shen Jiangli helped keep their secret, but in their homeland, most of the influence belonged to Pei Yansi…
“Mom, what are you thinking about?” Shen Yueyue spat out the foam in her mouth and noticed her mother had been watching her.
She couldn’t quite understand that look, but she felt it wasn’t very happy. Growing up, she had become increasingly perceptive—perhaps it was because she lacked a father’s presence, allowing her to sense some of Shen Heyu’s emotions more acutely.
Shen Heyu ruffled her head, “It’s nothing.”
Shen Yueyue responded with an “okay” and continued to wash up intently. After breakfast, Shen Heyu took her daughter’s hand and followed Aunt Ning onto the company’s car that was sent to take them to the airport.
They had booked a morning flight. Five hours in the air, and when they landed, it was just time for lunch.
Lu Yunlan, having heard that she was coming, had been waiting at the airport early.
Five hours later, Shen Heyu, holding Yueyue’s hand, walked out of the airport.
The flow of people in the airport was too heavy, and as they brushed shoulders with others, Shen Heyu worriedly held Yueyue’s hand tighter.
Shen Yueyue had barely taken a few steps when she stopped and said, “Mommy, I need to use the bathroom.”
Shen Heyu glanced at the restroom not far from them, led her towards it, and instructed Aunt Ning to take the luggage and find Lu Yunlan first.
When Yueyue reached the door, she said to her, “Mommy, just wait for me here! I’m already a big kid, I can go to the bathroom by myself.”
Shen Heyu was hesitant to let her go alone, but before she could speak, Yueyue had already entered.
Shen Heyu, feeling helpless but knowing Yueyue liked to be independent, didn’t follow her in. Instead, she stood anxiously by the door, afraid that Yueyue might exit and get lost without her seeing.
As she stood guard, a tall figure emerged from the men’s restroom on the other side.
Pei Yansi had just returned from an international business trip. The consecutive five-hour flight had left traces of fatigue around his eyes, but it couldn’t hide his striking features.
Six years had passed; he was now in his thirties, yet he didn’t look old at all. He seemed more like he was in his late twenties, which was partly due to his naturally fair skin.
He leaned against the door frame away from the nursing room, pulled out a cigarette, and was about to light it when he suddenly saw a child dashing out, her voice crisp and sweet as she called out, “Mommy, okay, let’s go!”
The voice was too sweet, tender, prompting Pei Yansi to eventually not light his cigarette and instinctively glance in the direction of the voice.
That glance made his tall frame visibly sway, his eyes slightly squinted. Pei Yansi’s probing gaze settled on the figures of a woman and a little girl not far away.
Shen Heyu, wearing an autumn trench coat that made her figure look even more slender and tall, was holding a little girl’s hand.
Six years without seeing her, she hadn’t changed much, but having become a mother, the coldness and distance that once dominated her features were replaced by softness and affection, making her look even more graceful.
Pei Yansi heard his own inexplicable heartbeat, his eyes landing on the little girl beside her.
As he looked, his heart skipped a beat.
How could this child look so much like him?!
He paused, unsure of his own thoughts, perhaps because the child was simply the spitting image of his own feminine side. He threw away the unlit cigarette and walked towards the mother and daughter.
Shen Heyu, intent on her path, didn’t notice someone approaching until a tall, lean figure stood in front of her, almost completely blocking the light from outside.
“Shen Heyu?” A familiar male voice came from above.
She froze for a moment, her heart skipping a beat. She turned her eyes forward.
She looked tiny before him. Lifting her eyes, she could only see his attractive Adam’s apple and above that, a pair of cold eyes.
Instinctively, she tightened her grip on Yueyue and took a step back, protectively lifting Yueyue off the ground and holding her in her arms.
Avoiding him.
Clearly.
