She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 129 - Birthday

Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Birthday

Chen Bo pushed open the door of the hospital room, and Shen Heyu was stunned.

Was she played?

She turned her head, her sharp gaze fixing on Chen Bo as if waiting for an explanation.

Chen Bo, embarrassed by her stare, looked down and said, “Today the young miss was brought to the hospital, saying that it’s time to check if the stitches can be removed.”

“…” Shen Heyu let out a cold laugh, “Yansi truly knows how to impress.”

Chen Bo said, “Actually… it’s just because Miss Shen doesn’t trust President Pei.”

Shen Heyu ignored his words. She just couldn’t trust him, even if Yuexue was his daughter. How could she, with his cruelty, his madness, ever feel at ease leaving Yuexue alone in his hands?

But she couldn’t help wondering if she really…

“Mommy?”

Her daughter’s voice broke through her thoughts at that moment.

Shen Heyu quickly walked into the room, closing the door behind her to keep Chen Bo from watching inside. Chen Bo stood by the door like a dutiful guard.

She approached the bed and touched Yuexue’s head, whose bandages had already been removed.

Her eyes weren’t as bright as before, they were still in recovery, but without the bandages, Shen Heyu’s mood lifted, “Can you see things clearly now?”

Yuexue shook her head, “I can see a bit, but it’s still blurry. Daddy said that in a couple of days it will get better. I need to start getting used to the light slowly, otherwise it’ll be hard to adapt later on.”

Shen Heyu nodded, her eyes slightly reddening, her hand caressing her daughter’s eyes, feeling a tightness in her heart.

Now that Yuexue was back by her side, could she… take her and quietly run away?

Yuexue then asked, “Where’s daddy?”

Shen Heyu felt that she really cared about Yansi, and sat by her side, “Why are you asking for daddy as soon as you wake up? Don’t you love mommy anymore?”

Yuexue hugged Shen Heyu, “I love both, and I hope that daddy and mommy can always be with me. Daddy is very kind to me.”

Shen Heyu knew nothing of Yansi’s kindness towards Yuexue.

He had endured the pain in his back, bringing Yuexue here to have her stitches removed. Her primary doctor certainly knew best, and to prevent Yuexue from noticing his injury, he sat by her side and read her stories for a long time.

He thought the stories were utterly boring, but seeing his daughter listen with such interest, he found them quite amusing.

Yet this single sentence from Yuexue made Shen Heyu waver. Her daughter really hoped to have a life with her father, so…

Yuexue, not hearing her speak, whispered, “Does mommy dislike him, and doesn’t want him to be with us?”

What she meant by dislike was simply not liking, without the complexity of adult emotions, just the simple affection and aversion between children.

Shen Heyu did not reply. She added, “If that’s the case, I will go with mommy.”

Although daddy was nice to her, she missed Shen Heyu more, as she had been the one by her side for the past six years.

The little girl had straight away forgotten the promise she’d made to Yansi to create opportunities for her mommy and daddy.

Shen Heyu shook her head, “Whatever Yuexue likes, I like as well.”

Yuexue smiled.

At that moment, Chen Bo knocked and entered, saying, “President Pei says that the young miss can be sent home to recover.”

Bringing Yuexue to the hospital for the stitches removal was originally a tactic to coerce Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu stepped aside to make way, and Chen Bo moved forward, lifting Yuexue horizontally and leaving with several bodyguards.

Before leaving, he turned to her and said, “President Pei says that he wants you to go see him.”

Shen Heyu looked displeased but still nodded.

After Yuexue had been taken away, she returned to Yansi’s hospital room. He had just finished dealing with a work document, his mind filled with images of Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu came in, and he beckoned to her, “Come to my side.”

She walked to the bed, and he promptly pulled her down to lie beside him.

The small hospital bed was very cramped, and with her lying down, the two of them pressed tightly together.

Shen Heyu felt the warmth emanating from his body, familiar yet strange. He whispered in her ear, “Have you seen our daughter?”

“Mm.” She wasn’t very willing to engage with him.

He noticed, but said nothing. Simply holding her like this, he felt contented.

He couldn’t even explain why.

This feeling was unprecedented.

As he held her, it didn’t take long before he felt dampness on his chest. Frowning, he looked down and saw she was crying.

He felt displeased, reached out to lift her chin, and stared deeply into her eyes.

“Is it so humiliating to be with me?” So much so that it brings tears to your eyes.

Shen Heyu choked up, “How long do you want me by your side? I need a deadline.”

“Deadline?” Pei Yansi smiled, quietly gazing at her face, wondering how she could be so naive. “There is no deadline.”

Shen Heyu looked up at him in his arms, “Why? Do you plan to keep me bound to you for a lifetime?”

“It’s not impossible.”

She got angry, reached out to hit him again. Pei Yansi, quick as a flash, grabbed her wrist, “This is the umpteenth time you’ve tried to hit me.”

Shen Heyu felt uncomfortable being held like this, couldn’t break free, and eventually gave in.

She simply lay directly on top of him, hoping to use her weight to press down on him, better to kill him that way; then she would be free.

Pei Yansi didn’t know what she was thinking, just felt the person in his arms curl up even more, and he was too pleased to hold back, so he hugged her tightly.

He asked, “When is Yuexue’s birthday?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Pei Yansi grew somewhat angry, “Or is it that you don’t want to say?”

Shen Heyu heard the threat in his voice and grew a bit colder. She remained silent for a while, but finally said, “It’s coming up. In seven days.”

“Just one day apart from yours?”

Pei Yansi paused, after finishing he could hardly believe it; how could he remember Shen Heyu’s birthday so clearly?

Shen Heyu also paused but remained silent.

“We’ll have a big celebration.”

Having a big birthday celebration for Yuexue seemed unproblematic on the surface, but upon closer inspection… wasn’t his hidden agenda to announce it to everyone in the city?

She knew all too well, once Yuexue and she were branded with his mark, when would there be a day of escape?

She flatly refused, “I don’t agree.”

Pei Yansi understood she saw through his intentions, and he understood her temperament, being gentle was utterly useless.

He said softly, “Do you have a choice?”

Shen Heyu was silent for a while before saying, “Do you really have to push me this hard?”

“How can it be called pushing you?”

Pei Yansi feigned innocence, but his eyes were coldly assertive, “I am giving Yuexue an identity, and I am giving you a status. My daughter can’t always carry the last name Shen.”

“It doesn’t matter what her last name is, but… she must be included in my Pei Yansi’s household register.”

Not just Yuexue, but she must be included too.
