Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Appointment
Shen Heyu slept deeply that night.
When she woke up the next day, it was already noon. There was no one else on the bed; the places where her daughter and Pei Yansi had been were already cool to the touch.
It seemed they had gotten up very early and left.
After Shen Heyu freshened up in the room, she went downstairs, only to see the housekeeper serving lunch. “Mr. Pei has gone to the company, and the young miss has gone to school. This is the lunch Mr. Pei instructed us to prepare for you,” the housekeeper said to her.
Shen Heyu looked at the dishes on the dining table.
Each item was an expensive, nutritious supplement.
She knew these were prepared by Pei Yansi; she remembered being malnourished six years ago. He had even specially put together a team of nutritionists for her.
Shen Heyu sat at the dining table and ate her meal earnestly. No matter her relationship with Pei Yansi, she couldn’t skip meals; she still understood some basic principles.
While she was eating, her phone was placed by the table.
With a “ding,” the phone sounded a text message alert. The housekeeper, who just happened to be passing by, inadvertently glanced at it.
Shen Heyu saw that it was a text from Lu Yi.
“Heyu, are you free this afternoon to meet up? I’ll be waiting at our usual spot,” the message read.
Upon seeing this message, Shen Heyu frowned. She thought about the warning from Pei Yansi the day before; he had already been angry with her for not keeping a proper distance, resulting in him taking action against Lu Yi’s family.
So this time, she didn’t really want to go.
Just then, another message came in: “I have something I need to talk to you about.”
Shen Heyu hesitated upon seeing this, but after a few minutes, she still replied with a “fine.”
The housekeeper, while arranging the dishes on the table, had managed to see the contents on her phone unnoticed.
Shen Heyu put down her phone and looked up just in time to meet the housekeeper’s gaze. She asked dissatisfiedly, “What did you just see?”

“Nothing,” the housekeeper said and went into the kitchen.
Shen Heyu watched her departing figure and ultimately didn’t say anything; she didn’t believe Mr. Pei would have a housekeeper to spy on her.
But she was also worried that she might tell Mr. Pei.
However, she wasn’t certain what she had seen.
In the afternoon, Shen Heyu changed into a casual outfit and left to keep her appointment.
The place she and Lu Yi considered their old spot was a famous coffee shop near the university town.
Back when she was in university, she often gathered there with him and his sister.
When Shen Heyu arrived, it was exactly three o’clock in the afternoon.
Lu Yi seemed to have arrived much earlier and was sitting in a corner, with a cup of coffee placed in front of him.
Shen Heyu walked over, sat opposite him, and after ordering a cup of coffee from the server, she asked, “Doctor Lu, what did you want to talk about?”
Lu Yi observed her; she was dressed simply and wasn’t wearing makeup, but even so, she was striking. She was beautiful with delicate features. At first glance, she might not seem dazzling, but the more one looked at her, the more unforgettable she became.
He said, “I know that being with Pei Yansi is all out of helplessness for you, and it’s even because of my family’s situation. I want to tell you that if you’re willing, I can abandon everything, give up the company, and take you away from here.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Heyu paused, unsure of what to say.
Just then, the server brought the coffee, interrupting the flow of their conversation. After the server left, Shen Heyu remained silent.
Seeing her silence, Lu Yi felt somewhat disheartened. He lowered his eyes and said, “You don’t want to?”
Shen Jiangli had also brought up this matter before, but she had never taken it seriously.
More importantly, she didn’t want to implicate anyone else because of it.
The matter with Mr. Lu’s heart donor had already been weighing on her mind.
She said, “Let’s just leave it at this for now. I don’t want you to disrupt your life with Yun Lan because of me.”
Everyone knew that Pei Yansi was not to be trifled with, and Lu Yi knew this better than anyone, but the words Pei Yansi said yesterday had indeed provoked him.
He looked at Shen Heyu seriously and said, “I’m serious. I thought about it all night. The company has been taken from us, my dad’s surgery is going to be successful soon, and if worse comes to worst, we can take our family and leave this place with you.”
“That way, Pei Yansi won’t be able to manipulate you.”
Shen Heyu remained unmoved.
She had escaped before, but it hadn’t been effective.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw a tall man enter the café.
The man was wearing a well-tailored suit and had an incredibly handsome face that stood out, and he headed straight for them as he walked through the door.
Shen Heyu frowned.
Pei Yansi strode up to the two of them, pulled out a chair, and sat down beside them. He looked up at Lu Yi with a mocking gaze and said, “It seems you really aren’t too busy, huh? Is the Lu Family’s company not in enough of a crisis?”
Lu Yi hadn’t expected him to show up here. Even under such circumstances, he still maintained his cold demeanor, but his handsome face had a gentle smile.
However, there was no warmth in his eyes.
Pei Yansi stared at him and met his ambiguous gaze, then chuckled, “Or should I put a little more pressure on the Lu Family? Just to prevent you from being so idle all the time and always thinking about meeting my wife.”
Lu Yi stirred his coffee in front of him and said, “She’s not doing this willingly, this marriage can be deemed invalid by law.”
“Is that so?”
Pei Yansi laughed again, looking deeply at Lu Yi with an even colder expression on his face and said, “That would imply you understand my wife better than I do? I wasn’t aware she was unwilling.”
After saying this, he turned his gaze from Lu Yi towards Shen Heyu, his dark eyes fixating on her.
Shen Heyu met his icy stare, and although he was smiling, his smile only made one’s skin crawl.
She heard his chilly and low voice in her ear, saying, “Are you truly unwilling?”
Shen Heyu could see the threat in his eyes and the warning in his tone.
It seemed as if merely saying ‘unwilling’ would cause him to immediately flip the table over.
Shen Heyu felt a tingling on her scalp, and under such a gaze, she finally faltered, “I am willing.”
This answer clearly pleased the man, some of the coldness in his eyes dissipated, and he turned his head once more to look at Lu Yi beside him and said, “Do you hear that now?”
Lu Yi furrowed his brows. How could he not know that even the words she just said were unwilling?
Pei Yansi did not wait for his reply. He stood up and at the same time, grabbed Shen Heyu’s wrist, all pretense of a smile fading from his face. He stared at Lu Yi and said, “Do you remember the words I said in the hospital? Lu Yi, you’ve truly angered me this time.”
His patience had been completely shattered.
He pulled Shen Heyu with him and strode away.
Shen Heyu could feel his intense anger.
