Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Cooperation Turns into Competition
Watching Pei Yansi’s dismissive expression in the face of her rejection, and his feet, shuffling eagerly as if he still wanted to come closer.
Shen Heyu suddenly remembered a scene just like this one, where Pei Yansi had been outside her sister’s room door.
Back then, her sister leaned against the door, wearing a sweet smile as she looked at Pei Yansi’s demeanor, her actions seemingly half-hearted and yielding…
Shen Heyu shook her head, the subtle affection in her gaze quickly fading away. It was replaced by a hint of disgust and estrangement.
She spoke out once more to emphasize, “You can move Han Manyin to another room, but please distinguish between different occasions. I don’t like people who can’t separate personal matters from work, and the issues they cause! You are, after all, the president of a major company. Our two companies are in a partnership, so I would ask you to be mindful of your image so as not to lose the confidence of your partners.”
Having said that, she stepped back, and with a “bang,” she closed the room door, nearly slamming it on Pei Yansi’s nose.
He instinctively recoiled, but inside, a strange feeling arose.
Before, he had been able to approach Shen Heyu, even touch her. Although she was cold to him and looked indifferent, her lack of rejection actually signified a sort of tacit consent.
From this, Pei Yansi faintly sensed that Shen Heyu’s attitude towards him had begun to change.
It let Pei Yansi know that his efforts had not been in vain. But how could things suddenly…suddenly fall back to square one?
No, it wasn’t just a return to the starting point; it was worse than before. Where did it go wrong? Had he really crossed the line between professional and personal, angering Shen Heyu?
Pei Yansi moved his feet aside, recalling Shen Heyu’s character.
No matter when, she always kept professional and personal matters separate, a person clear about both love and hate.
He noticed the difference between her and Shen Fanshuang… Shen Fanshuang did not have such a strong sense of the bigger picture and the overall situation.
Thinking this, Pei Yansi took another step back. He thought, perhaps respecting the other person could win them over more effectively?
But inside him, a strong sense of losing control surged once again.
Pei Yansi stared at the firmly shut door in front of him as if it were a chasm that separated him and Shen Heyu by a great distance.
He lifted his foot and kicked it. Only he had the right to say no, only he had the power to reject.
But just as his foot was about to hit the door, the door suddenly opened on its own, revealing a crack… His kick unavoidably landed on the stomach of the person opening the door.
Pei Yansi was startled and, fearing he had hurt Shen Heyu, exclaimed, “Heyu!” He rushed inside. However, he only saw Han Manyin on the ground.
While Pei Yansi was looking for Shen Heyu to offer her a room change, Han Manyin inside had overheard their conversation.
Han Manyin had hoped to use Shen Heyu as an opportunity to get close to Pei Yansi, unaware that Pei Yansi was actually planning to move Shen Heyu away.
Han Manyin was resentful at heart, and as soon as Shen Heyu closed the door, she slipped over to the door while Shen Heyu left for the bathroom.
She even casually tugged her pajama collar wider on both sides and leaned against the door, her legs crossed. She toyed with a lock of hair beside her temple, a picture of allure, and cracked the door slightly open.
She was just about to coquettishly call out, “President Pei~~~”
But then she got kicked flying out by a sudden large foot. The pain was so intense that Han Manyin couldn’t even cry out. She could only clutch her abdomen, curling up into a ball.
All her allure, all her seductiveness, all her charm were now replaced by tears, snot, and spit.
But what came next… made her heartache blossom with joy.
Pei Yansi thought he had kicked Shen Heyu. He thought Shen Heyu had changed her mind and was willing to move to another room. He thought she must have cared about him a little to have opened the door.
But it was his own foot that kicked her. Pei Yansi was so annoyed he could have turned green. Seeing the person fall down, covered by a white robe flipped over her face, curled up there, her hair in disarray, she was quite a mess.
Pei Yansi felt a great pang in his heart. He hurried over, picked the person up, and walked towards the bed. He wanted to see how badly she was hurt from his kick, and she shouldn’t be lying there with her bare legs exposed; what if someone saw her?
The noise from his kick was too loud. What if Shen Jiangli came by? That wouldn’t do. Heyu was his, Pei Yansi’s; he couldn’t let Shen Jiangli get a glimpse of her.
So he carried her towards the bed, thinking how to get a doctor over as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Shen Heyu, who had finished washing her face, was just coming out from the bathroom. What she saw was Pei Yansi carrying Han Manyin towards the bed.
Han Manyin’s robe was all disheveled, revealing too much. And Pei Yansi’s gaze lingered on those jade legs.

Shen Heyu threw down the towel in her hand coldly and said to Pei Yansi, “You really aren’t picky. What’s the matter? Did you want to show me how many people you can have since I rejected you? Scum!”
Having said this, she picked up the room card that had fallen to the floor due to Pei Yansi’s urgency, slammed the door, and walked out.
Pei Yansi turned around at the sound and saw an angry and cold figure leaving. He stood there, stunned.
Just then, Han Manyin felt her lover’s manly strength and thought she had finally succeeded in taking her place. Despite the pain, she wrapped her jade arms around him.
That’s when Pei Yansi finally realized who he was holding. His eyebrows furrowed intensely, and veins popped. He fiercely threw her to the ground and turned to run out.
All he could think was, “It’s over, it’s over, the misunderstanding has gotten worse.”
Out in the corridor, Shen Jiangli stood with his arms crossed, leisurely enjoying the scene.
He waved at Pei Yansi who rushed out and cheerfully said, “Hey, President Pei. Try to keep up appearances, will you?”
Pei Yansi came to an abrupt halt. He straightened his legs, steadied his waist, and with a stern face, he stepped toward Shen Jiangli. He warned, “Shen Jiangli, whatever misunderstandings exist between me and Shen Heyu are none of your business. You’d best keep your distance. Otherwise, our cooperation could turn into a fight—it’s not impossible!”
With that said, he turned and strode toward Shen Heyu’s new room, looking like an indefatigable rooster.
Shen Jiangli watched and burst out laughing, bending at the waist. Truth be told, Shen Jiangli only had a slight fondness for Shen Heyu, like the surprise of a bright moon emerging after clouds suddenly part.
