His gaze was sharp, deep, and somber. She didn’t know what he was thinking, but she read turmoil in his eyes, which he deeply concealed.
He hadn’t told her that Shen Fanshuang had pursued him using the same incident.

The story she told was exactly the same as what Shen Fanshuang had told him before.
However, when Shen Fanshuang spoke of it, it was with delicate sobs, emanating a frightened demeanor that seemed to need his protection.
He had been uninterested in Shen Heyu from the start because her false strength irritated him.
Thus, the vulnerability exhibited by Shen Fanshuang eventually led to her winning him over after a long time.
He looked at her gravely and asked, “Who else have you told about this?”
Shen Heyu didn’t understand why he asked, but she honestly replied, “Only Shen Fanshuang.”
She met Lu Yunlan during their junior year in the dormitory, so she didn’t know that by then, over a year had passed, and she hadn’t mentioned it to Lu Yunlan.
Pei Yansi seemed to want confirmation and asked, “Only Shen Fanshuang knew from the beginning to the end?”
“Yes.”
Pei Yansi’s expression turned slightly cold.
He dared not be sure who was lying between them. That night, the light was dim, and he hadn’t really clearly seen her face, only knowing she was feigning strength, which he disliked.
Later, when Shen Fanshuang appeared, claiming he had saved her, he recalled that girl. Her features did bear some resemblance, yet they lacked any strong flavor.
So, had he mistaken her? After all, the sisters did look alike, and he had not seen Shen Heyu clearly that night. When Shen Fanshuang appeared a year later…
He, a haughty young master, couldn’t possibly remember everything accurately.
Pei Yansi fell silent, faintly guessing what might have happened but lacking solid proof to be certain; he had to wait for the results from Zhao Jin.
Shen Heyu scoffed, “You don’t believe me, right?”
Pei Yansi remained silent.
Silence was his answer, and Shen Heyu knew it. She felt bitter inside but maintained a normal appearance, the false strength emerging again in her expression.
It was all too familiar.
She said, “President Pei, let’s look at the business documents.” She hinted meaningfully at the contract he had laid aside.
Possibly impatient from her urging, Pei Yansi swiftly picked up the document and signed his name without looking.
“Agreed to the partnership.”
“I’ll be leaving then,” Shen Heyu said as she got up to leave.
Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist, “The food hasn’t arrived yet.”
Just as he spoke, the waiter pushed in the small cart and served the dishes, all her favorites. He proactively served her rice and picked dishes for her, saying, “I’ll take you back after you finish eating.”
Shen Heyu looked at him for a long moment, seeing that refusal was futile, so she earnestly started eating.
Pei Yansi watched her continuously.
What he didn’t say was that it wasn’t about mistrust, but about not daring to hastily make any promises… but in the end, he still didn’t trust her.
He didn’t understand why, but with Shen Heyu, it always felt as though a veil separated them. Was it because she was too aloof, and he too arrogant to lower his dignity to actively bridge the distance?
He only knew that he seemed to have missed something.
If Shen Fanshuang was lying…
Pei Yansi felt troubled and restless.
Soon, Shen Heyu finished a bowl of rice, “I’m full now. Can I go?”
Pei Yansi took the car keys, “I’ll drive you.”
Shen Heyu didn’t refuse, after all, she had secured the project she wanted.
She got into his car and noticed that it wasn’t Zhao Jin driving today, but Pei Yansi himself.
He dropped her off outside the Pei Mansion but didn’t get out of the car. Shen Heyu didn’t know where he was headed next, and she didn’t have the mind to ask. She hoped he wouldn’t come back to join her in the evening.
Shen Heyu simply walked away.
Seeing her not even uttering a word, Pei Yansi felt somewhat stifled inside. Once her figure had completely disappeared from his sight, he turned the car around and headed to another residential area in the city.
That residential area was where he previously held Bai Sheng’er “captive.”
He had hired a maid to attend to her daily needs, but her situation now… was no different from being in prison.
He hadn’t sent her to prison, purely out of consideration for her having donated her corneas to Yuexue.
Bai Sheng’er, unable to see, had just finished her dinner not long ago when she heard the door open. Thinking the maid had returned, she didn’t speak.
Not until she heard Pei Yansi’s voice, “It’s me.”
The female character paused.
The dark days had driven her to despair. Every day was tough, and each day she longed for Pei Yansi to come for her. Finally, in her dark world, the voice she had long awaited rang out, and she wept with joy, hastily saying, “Brother Yan Si…”
“You’ve finally come for me. You still care about me, don’t you? Please, take me away. I don’t want to stay here anymore…”
Pei Yansi looked at her.
The light in the room was very bright, shining on her face that looked strikingly similar to Shen Fanshuang’s.
He suddenly became very silent. More importantly, now knowing that Shen Fanshuang might have deceived him, seeing the female character’s face, so similar to Shen Fanshuang’s, filled him with disgust.
He said coldly, “I gave you a shirt before. Where is it?”
That shirt was very expensive, and he could bet she hadn’t thrown it away.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here.
After all, she had been involved with him, and he could easily discern some of her traits. When it came to money, she certainly wouldn’t let it go easily.
The female character paused, unable to recall at the moment, “What?”
“The shirt’s cuffs were made with South African black diamonds. Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”
The female character remembered then. The shirt was expensive, and she surely knew it. Just the South African black diamonds alone were enough for her to buy an apartment.
For money, she later sold the shirt…
She said, “Well, didn’t you say I could dispose of it as I wished? Are you asking for it back now?”
“I only said you could dispose of it, I never said it was a gift. Why can’t I take it back?” Pei Yansi began his shameless sophistry.
A joke, that shirt was a gift from Shen Heyu to him. Even if he had given it away, he would shamelessly ask for it back.
The female character stammered.
He ran out of patience, “You have one minute. If you can’t tell me, you lose even the right to stay here.”
She dare not anger him, and cried, “If I tell you, will you keep me by your side?”
Pei Yansi let out a cold laugh.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t see it.
The gleam in his eyes was already very dangerous as he said coldly, “If you wish, you can.”
He wasn’t going to take her; he would send her straight to prison. What she had done was enough for her to spend another three to five years behind bars.
Bai Sheng’er spoke tremulously, “I—I sold it…”
“Sold to whom? Give me the transaction records.” He would chase it to the ends of the earth just to get it back.
