She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 88 - : Delighted to be a Father

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Delighted to be a Father

Pei Yansi frowned at her words.

“When have I ever let anyone bully you?”

Shen Heyu didn’t speak, or rather, she didn’t want to have any more ties with this man. She held Yuexue and sat on the other side, as far away from him as possible.

Pei Yansi sensed that something was amiss and pulled out his phone to make a call.

Shen Heyu couldn’t hear the voice on the other end, but she could vaguely guess who he was calling from his conversation.

“Where are you supposed to pick up the young miss? What’s going on?”

“…”

“Meng Ru?”

“…”

“Find out what happened and bring that person to me.” After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at Shen Heyu again, his eyes complex.

“I’ll have Meng Ru come and personally apologize to you.”

“If apologies were effective, the problems of this world would be too easy to solve.”

Shen Heyu retorted coldly, holding Yuexue and unwilling to say anything more. Pei Yansi knew she was upset and said no more.

The two of them remained silent. There was some traffic congestion on the road, and the journey to the hospital was not very smooth. After crying, Yuexue became tired and fell asleep in Shen Heyu’s arms.

Shen Heyu held her the entire time, her hand growing sore and uncomfortable.

Pei Yansi noticed this and reached out his hand, “Let me hold her for a while.”

Shen Heyu looked for a while and, because her hand was indeed too sore, carefully handed Yuexue into his arms.

It was the first time Yuexue lay so obediently in his embrace.

Pei Yansi lowered his head and stared at her face, which resembled his own. His daughter lay softly in his arms, sleeping soundly, occasionally smacking her little lips.

Very cute.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a strange feeling, as if something had filled it completely: holding his daughter in his arms with his daughter’s mother sitting beside him.

It was just that the mother had a bit of a temper and didn’t seem to think too highly of him.

He reached out and rubbed Yuexue’s chubby little face, but one side of her cheek was swollen and red. It was an eyesore to look at.

Thinking that Meng Ru had caused it, a cold and dangerous look flickered in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Heyu thought he wanted to harm their daughter and warned him coldly, “If you dare to hurt my daughter, I’ll fight you with my life.”

Pei Yansi frowned and lowered his voice, “She is also my daughter; do you really see me as that cruel in your eyes?”

“What else? When she wasn’t even born yet, have you forgotten what you did? She couldn’t even compare to a Bai Sheng’er!”

Those past events, she had never actively thought about them in these six years and believed she had long forgotten those unpleasant memories.

But seeing Pei Yansi, she realized that those hurts had always been in her heart; they just needed a trigger to be exposed and torn open.

Pei Yansi was that trigger.

Pei Yansi didn’t say anything more. He knew he was in the wrong and simply held Yuexue in silence.

After a while, the car arrived at the hospital. Shen Heyu was eager to take Yuexue from Pei Yansi, but he dodged her, “You’re tired, let me do it.”

He was tall and strong, easily holding his daughter with one hand, while continuously holding onto Shen Heyu’s hand with the other.

Shen Heyu struggled in vain, and eventually let him do as he pleased.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Yuexue was taken to the dermatology department. After being prescribed some medication, she temporarily went to sleep in the baby ward.

Shen Heyu inquired about her condition with the doctor and then visited Lu Yunlan’s ward.

She had injured the back of her head and was somewhat comatose for a while but had since woken up.

“Heyu, are you and Yuexue alright?” As soon as Shen Heyu entered, Lu Yunlan’s first concern was for their well-being.

Hearing this, Shen Heyu’s eyes reddened. “Can’t you care about yourself first!”

“Hey, I’m tough-skinned and hard-fleshed. Of course, I’m more worried about Yuexue and you.”

Shen Heyu sat by the bed and said, “It’s nothing serious; worry about yourself first.”

Lu Yunlan nodded and said, “So what do you plan to do now? From the looks of Pei Yansi, I doubt he’ll give up easily, after all, it’s a child of the Pei Family.”

“Even if Yuexue is a daughter, the Pei Family with its large business would definitely not let their child be alone outside.”

Shen Heyu firmly stated, “No matter what they do, I won’t hand over Yuexue to them.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the door to the ward was pushed open.

Both of them turned to look and saw that it was Lu Yi.

Lu Yi, wearing a white coat, came in. Since he was the one who took care of his sister when she was brought in, there was no need for him to ask about his sister’s condition first. He addressed Shen Heyu, “Heyu, it’s been a long time. I had surgery today and didn’t go to the airport to pick you up. You’re not mad at me, right?”

Shen Heyu gave a polite smile. “Of course not. I feel guilty that Yunlan got injured because of me.”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Yi sat beside her and looked at her, saying, “What are your plans now? I’ve heard all about what’s happened with you and Yuexue. If you don’t mind, you could temporarily stay at my place—the one with my parents.”

“That way, even Pei Yansi would have to be a bit more cautious. I could publicly claim that Yuexue is my child.”

Shen Heyu furrowed her brow; she had not forgotten that she came back to work and the first connection she wanted to make for the Shen Family was with the Lu Family.

Having a good friend like Lu Yunlan’s help would make things easier.

It was just that she had been delayed by Pei Yansi and still hadn’t had the chance to report to Shen Jiangli.

She said, “Thank you, I will consider it. I don’t want to burden you.”

“How can you say it’s a burden?” Lu Yunlan interjected. “Anyway, since you don’t want to go back to Pei Yansi, just use my brother as a shield for now. He’s more than happy to help!”

As soon as she finished speaking, an icy male voice came from the direction of the doorway, “My child with Pei Yansi is not someone the Lu Family can claim so casually, is it?”

The people in the ward looked towards the source of the voice.

Pei Yansi stood at the doorway, with Zhao Jin following behind him. He was wearing a sleek black business suit, which accentuated his forbidding and ascetic demeanor. His chiseled features were exceptionally handsome, and his eyes were deep-set and striking.

He walked in and sat naturally beside Shen Heyu, saying, “Yuexue is awake. Aren’t you going to see her?”

Shen Heyu frowned, stood up, and left to find Yuexue.

Only three people were left in the ward.

Without glancing at Lu Yunlan on the hospital bed, Pei Yansi turned his gaze to Lu Yi and said in a cold voice, “Doctor Lu, you truly are dedicated. After all these years, you’re still fixated on her. You had designs on her when she was my wife, and now that she’s my ex-wife, you’re still not giving up.”

“Or perhaps, Doctor Lu has a fondness for playing the father?”

Lu Yi, displeased, met his hostile gaze and said, “My words remain the same as before, Mr. Pei. If you’re incapable of protecting your wife and daughter, then let someone who can do it.”

“Heh.”

Pei Yansi let out a cold laugh, stood up to leave, and said frostily when he reached the doorway, “Since Doctor Lu is so capable, maybe he should think about how to protect the Lu Family next…”
