She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 339 Pretending to be Sick

"Fine," Lu Yi smiled weakly, his face pale and his breathing labored. "I thought President Pei didn’t dare."

He didn’t say anything more to Pei Yansi and closed his eyes as if to rest.

Pei Yansi watched him, although Lu Yi wasn’t smiling, Pei Yansi still inexplicably felt that he was boasting, taking pride.

All because of Shen Heyu’s concern for him.

Suddenly, he felt very discontented and didn’t want to see Lu Yi so complacent. He said deliberately, "Indeed, she worries about you, but what of it? You must also know, when she saw me appear, how eager she was to let go of your hand."

His words struck a chord, and the next second, Lu Yi’s eyes snapped open, dull and lifeless.

Of course, he knew that the hand Shen Heyu had been holding just a moment ago, released his own as if it were something venomous, the moment Pei Yansi arrived.

It was an inequality in their relationship.

She didn’t have a legitimate identity to get close to him or perhaps, he had no status by her side.

Seeing his expression, Pei Yansi finally felt a sense of triumph, "I managed to drive away Shen Jiangli, and I can drive you away, too."

"She can only be mine in this lifetime. None of you should even think about touching her."

When he said this, there was a certain grit to his teeth, and his eyes took on a crimson hue.

Lu Yi just watched him silently, much calmer in comparison.

He said faintly, "President Pei, one day you’ll understand, such forceful actions will not last long."

"Although she is by your side now, there will come a day when she will leave. Even if she can’t leave you due to your power, she will spend her days thinking about how to escape. What’s the meaning of such feelings?"

Pei Yansi’s words had hit his sore spot, and what he was saying now, wasn’t it the same?

Pei Yansi felt a sudden pain in his chest, so stifling, as if he heard something shatter inside his ribcage.

He knew too well that with his methods, he could never keep Shen Heyu. And Lu Yi was right, Shen Heyu was indeed thinking every day about how to get away from him.

She avoided him like a venomous serpent.

Pei Yansi didn’t want to admit it. He scoffed, looking at Lu Yi, "Well, let’s just wait and see whether she cares about me or not."

No sooner had he spoken than the door to the ward was pushed open by Shen Heyu.

Almost simultaneously, he immediately lay down on the couch beside him, clutching his abdomen, showing an expression of agony.

Shen Heyu walked in to see such a scene: Lu Yi with his eyes closed, seemingly not yet awake, and Pei Yansi leaning on the sofa, looking extremely pained.

She hurried forward to support Pei Yansi with one hand, "What’s wrong with you?"

Her tone was impatient and lacking worry.

In a spot unseen by Shen Heyu, Lu Yi opened his eyes, watching Pei Yansi with an amused look.

The latter, stimulated by his smile, clutched his stomach, his face contorting even more painfully, "My stomach hurts so bad, Heyu, I think I might have appendicitis..."

"Weren’t you fine just a second ago?"

Although Shen Heyu thought it strange, she didn’t dare delay and quickly went to call a doctor.

Pei Yansi quickly grabbed her hand, "Just let me stay in this ward, after all, you have to accompany Lu Yi and keep an eye on me. Running back and forth between us, how tiring."

Shen Heyu gave him a peculiar look, feeling something was off, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

She nodded and obediently went to call the doctor.

The nurses followed his orders, adding another bed to the room, where Pei Yansi was placed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Seeing that Pei Yansi really had an IV hooked up, Shen Heyu stopped overthinking and earnestly asked the doctor beside her, "Is his condition very serious?"

The doctor hummed, and it took a long time before he said, "Quite serious, even more so than appendicitis."

Shen Heyu let out a sound of surprise, "Why? What’s the problem?"

The doctor hummed for a long time, and, when she couldn’t see, exchanged an intense look with Pei Yansi, after which the doctor spewed a bunch of professional jargon that sounded extremely sophisticated and high-class.

The less Shen Heyu understood, the more she believed the illness was serious.

She furrowed her brows tightly and said to the doctor, "Then I’ll have to trouble you a lot more."

The doctor pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, "This is all part of our job, Miss Shen, please rest assured."

After the doctor had left, he mentioned a time for the appendectomy, prompting Shen Heyu to make arrangements.

Shen Heyu nodded, pulled up a chair, and sat between the beds of Lu Yi and Pei Yansi, allowing her to look after both sides.

Pei Yansi groaned in his bed, extending his hand, "Can you hold me?" His tone was unexpectedly a bit pitiful.

Very strange.

Heyu felt an inexplicable feeling of eeriness but still extended her hand to hold his, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Pei Yansi nodded repeatedly, "It hurts."

Shen Heyu managed a forced smile and consoled him, "It’s okay, it will be better soon after the surgery."

Pei Yansi hurriedly agreed, grasping her hand and not letting go. If she tried to break free, he would claim he was in pain.

After a few back and forths, Shen Heyu gave up trying and let him have his way.

On the other side, Lu Yi closed his eyes but upon hearing the professional terms the doctor had used, he almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.

This Pei Yansi’s acting was quite something, but exaggerated enough to only scare laymen.

However, seeing that Shen Heyu was completely leaning toward his side, and somewhat neglecting him, Lu Yi’s heart made hundreds of turns and chose this moment to come to.

His fingers stirred slightly and he continued with the same tactic from his nightmare, weakly crying out, "So thirsty..."

Shen Heyu, unaware of the deceptive depths of these two men, heard Lu Yi’s voice and believed he had awoken; without a second thought, she harshly let go of Pei Yansi’s hand.

She hurriedly turned around, her face showing eagerness and concern, poured a cup of hot water for Lu Yi, and personally helped him drink it.

Pei Yansi watched them from his bed with a grim face.

Shen Heyu looked up to meet his icy gaze and explained, "You saw it too, he can’t take care of himself right now. You don’t expect me to help him drink water as well, do you?"

Pei Yansi replied almost through clenched teeth, "No!"

He didn’t dare say anything now because he had joined the ranks of pretend patients.

If his act was exposed, he wouldn’t fare any better.

Lu Yi opened his eyes and after drinking a cup of hot water, looked at Shen Heyu tenderly, "Have you been by my side the whole time?"

She awkwardly scratched her head, "Not really, Yun Lan just left this morning."

"It hurts so much..." Pei Yansi suddenly cried out.
