She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 211 -

But Pei Yansi understood Shen Heyu.
Even if she acted obedient and repeatedly said she wouldn’t go back to see Lu Yi, he still wouldn’t believe that she was telling the truth.
She had a habit of lying to him.
Yet, he had to admit, even if they were lies, he enjoyed hearing them. He liked hearing any loyalty from her lips, the words with no thoughts of other men.
That way, he felt like, in her heart, he still had a place.
But…
That’s why, knowing she was lying, Pei Yansi purposely had someone watch her in secret.
The old lady hadn’t been discharged from the hospital yet, and Pei Yansi hadn’t allowed her to accompany her, since officially they weren’t married, and her staying at the hospital would certainly draw gossip.
He considered her, more because he didn’t want her to overexert herself.
Shen Heyu was sent back to the old house.
Only she and Yuexue lived in the house, while Pei Yansi stayed with the old lady in the hospital.
In the evening, since Pei Yansi was absent, Shen Heyu once again took on the task of coaxing Yuexue to sleep.
Yuexue slept in her arms while she read her a storybook.
Yuexue seemed to be listening intently but suddenly interrupted Shen Heyu and asked, “If great-grandma doesn’t get well, will daddy be sad?”
Shen Heyu frowned, she certainly didn’t think, like the older generation might, that Yuexue was cursing the old lady.
On the contrary, it was just a subjective expression of concern.
She then seriously said, “Grandma is just old and a bit weak at the moment, she won’t stay unwell.”
It seemed to finally reassure Yuexue, who nodded and said, “Then I’m relieved. That way she and daddy will both be by my side, and mom too, and daddy won’t be sad.”
She had been worried all day about how she would comfort him if daddy were sad.

From her words, Shen Heyu could vaguely sense her dependence on Pei Yansi and her fondness for their complete family.
But Shen Heyu wouldn’t lose herself for anyone, even if that was her daughter.
She must first be herself, then a mother, then a wife.
So for now, she could only temporarily put Yuexue aside. If she had to choose, being with a father like Pei Yansi would probably be better for her development.
Shen Heyu made up her mind.
She had already reached a decision.
Perhaps in the future, when she and Pei Yansi truly reconciled, she could once again be a good mother.
Yuexue didn’t know what she was thinking, as she drifted off to sleep in her arms.
Shen Heyu looked at her daughter’s face, so similar to Pei Yansi’s, and felt tenderness in her heart, she leaned down and kissed her daughter, saying, “I’m not a good mother.”
Yuexue, deep in sleep, heard nothing.
Shen Heyu got up from her bed, silently left, careful not to make any noise that could awaken her daughter.
She returned to the bridal room.
The room still bore traces of their life together, a wedding photo hanging above the bed, incredibly beautiful.
The photo was taken when she was still young, not just her, Pei Yansi also looked very young, the photo already felt aged.
Yet the love in her eyes for him hadn’t been concealed by the years.
In the photograph, she wore a pristine wedding gown, smiling at the photographer’s request, although because of Pei Yansi’s oppression, her smile wasn’t very genuine.
But the affection in her eyes for the man was unmistakable.
It was clear.
She felt a pang of sorrow and sat deeply sighing by the bedside. She didn’t know why her thoughts always changed, perhaps because she was still in love with Pei Yansi, always feeling insecure in her heart.
Adding to that, today’s visit to Shen Fanshuang’s grave and seeing the photo of her smiling sister like a blooming flower made her suddenly realize that this was the woman Pei Yansi had loved; he had never felt the same way about her.
A sense of inferiority, an unwillingness, a love unattained—all crazily devoured her heart. She couldn’t bear it, being forced to suppress herself by his side, while his heart housed someone else.
She was unwilling to be anyone’s substitute.
Even if it was possible, Pei Yansi had not recognized Shen Fanshuang in her.
Shen Heyu pulled out her cell phone and dialed Lu Yi.
The time was neither too early nor too late, a few minutes past ten.
The call was quickly answered.
“Heyu?” Lu Yi’s voice contained an unmistakable joy.
He hadn’t expected her to still reach out to him, thinking that after Pei Yansi had taken her from the hospital today, she would never have a chance to meet him again.
But she had made the call.
What followed made Lu Yi even more delighted; she asked on the phone, “The words you spoke in the hospital room today, do they still hold?”
What words?
Lu Yi, of course, remembered; it was his collaboration with Shen Jiangli to get her out of Pei Yansi’s side, and they had already strategized everything, not giving Pei Yansi a chance to hurt or deceive her, or even find her.
Lu Yi laughed and said, “Of course they hold, have you thought it through?”
Shen Heyu nodded.
Then she realized that Lu Yi on the other end of the phone couldn’t see her and said, “Tomorrow, the usual place, I’ll meet you there.”
“Okay.”
Both understood each other, not mentioning any specific time to meet.
When Shen Heyu was in college, there was a coffee shop next to the university; she often went there with Lu Yunlan, and after getting to know Lu Yi through Lu Yunlan, the three of them frequently met at that coffee shop.
And the timing was always at two in the afternoon.
Old time for afternoon tea, old place.
Shen Heyu thought, this time, there mustn’t be any mistakes.
She didn’t pack anything, didn’t bring any luggage, because she was afraid that if she packed these things, Pei Yansi would find out.
Then it would turn into another false happiness.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Pei Yansi was still watching over the old lady.
The old lady was of advanced age and had already fallen asleep at this hour, additionally deepened by the medication taken.
Pei Yansi looked at Zhao Jin in front of him.
He had arrived just a few minutes ago to report on Shen Heyu’s situation.
Zhao Jin said, “Miss Shen made a call to Lu Yi. Then said they would meet at the usual place, no specific time mentioned.”
Pei Yansi hummed faintly.
His hand secretly clenched into a fist, unable to imagine that Shen Heyu still intended to meet Lu Yi.
Fortunately, he knew her well and had someone watch her in secret beforehand; otherwise, if he had truly believed her lies, wouldn’t she have escaped again?
Just that Pei Yansi didn’t understand why she was always so disobedient, so unruly, always wanting to leave his side no matter what.
He really couldn’t figure it out, and casually asked Zhao Jin beside him, “Why do you think she always wants to leave, and still doesn’t trust my feelings for her?”
Zhao Jin was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected him to suddenly seek advice on matters of the heart…
