Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Nothing Was Seen
“There’s nothing…” Shen Heyu tried to cover up but ran out of options, unable to fathom why Pei Yansi could grasp her every move so clearly.
Even her thoughts were often guessed entirely accurately by him.
Pei Yansi stared at her intently for a few seconds, knowing in his heart that she was lying.
But it didn’t matter.
He wasn’t truly interested in hearing how she cursed him internally.
After applying the ointment to Shen Heyu, he placed the items on the nightstand and turned off the room’s light before lying down with her in his arms.
He embraced her in an utterly possessive manner.
“You were frightened today,” he cooed in a low voice.
Shen Heyu wasn’t quite accustomed to this.
She said nothing.
But her mind uncontrollably flashed back to the last time she had been abducted by Chen Bo, when her life had hung by a thread, just like today.
It was Pei Yansi who had rushed forward, heedless of his own life, to shield her from the knife.
Now, it seemed that vicious scar still lingered on his lower back.
Thinking of this, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but gently reach out and stroke Pei Yansi’s back.
The moment she touched him, she distinctly felt the large frame of the man shudder, but she didn’t stop, continuing to stroke his back until she felt the harsh circle of scar tissue under her fingers.
Suddenly, Pei Yansi reached out and grabbed her, his voice hoarse, “What are you doing? If you want it, just tell me directly, there’s no need to torment someone like this.”
He spoke very seriously, with no trace of jest.
Shen Heyu inevitably blushed at his words.
Fortunately, the room was dim, and nothing could be discerned. She quickly withdrew her hand, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Isn’t that it? Then what are you continuously touching?”
“Nothing.”
Shen Heyu now just wanted to quickly move past this topic.
Pei Yansi fell silent for a few seconds, then seemed to finally understand her intention.
He felt she was probably feeling pity for him and was delighted, hugging her tight and kissing her forehead.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be scars like this anymore. If there have to be any, they’ll be only because of you.”
Shen Heyu didn’t speak.
She curled up in Pei Yansi’s arms and quickly fell asleep.
Pei Yansi listened to the steady, prolonged breathing of the woman in his arms, and his heart seemed to settle with her.
But he felt no sleepiness.
Especially when he thought of Shao You.
Seeing Shen Heyu sleeping soundly in his arms, he got out of bed quietly and went to the study.
The study was quiet, with only the chirping of crickets in this season.
He took out his phone and dialed Zhao Jin’s number.
He said on the other end, “Have someone clean it up nicely; best to make sure he never comes out.”
Without needing to ask, Zhao Jin knew what he meant. He said, “It’s just that Shao You, if we’re getting technical, can only be charged with abduction and attempted murder. The sentence won’t be much.”
“Then find a way to make him make a mistake. The resort is already in the eye of the storm, isn’t it? Add some more fuel to the fire.”
This time, Shao You had truly angered him.
Zhao Jin didn’t say anything else but agreed and hung up the phone.
The next morning, when Shen Heyu woke up, her daughter had already gone to school.
She had just taken a seat at the dining table downstairs when she saw Pei Yansi entering from outside, dressed in casual home clothes.
He had exchanged his black business suit for attire that made him look much gentler. The oppressive air of a superior had dissipated quite a bit, making him seem rather approachable.
Devoid of aggression.
His already resented face was now stunningly handsome.
For a moment, Shen Heyu was somewhat dazzled by his appearance, which made him seem young. In that instant, it felt as though they had returned to their university days, back to her own youth.
Pei Yansi noticed her gaze.
He pulled out a chair and sat down beside her, picking up the breakfast in front of him. He didn’t look at her but instead asked in a seemingly casual tone, “Do I look good? You’ve been staring at me for quite a while.”
Shen Heyu’s face turned a slight red, and she hurriedly turned away her gaze.
As if avoiding something, “I wasn’t looking at anything.”
“You weren’t looking, but your eyes are darting around?” Pei Yansi’s voice contained an undeniable hint of amusement.
Shen Heyu furrowed her brows slightly, suddenly feeling like a child caught doing something naughty, with an obvious attempt to deny the presence of three hundred taels of silver right here.
“Let’s eat, then I’ll drive you to the company.” Fortunately, he finally changed the topic.
But it was something she very much resisted.
She flatly refused.
She had thought she could muddle through as before, that he would consider her feelings, but this time, he was unyielding.
“Given the number of enemies I have lately, for your safety, I will personally drive you to and from work from now on.”
“You could have bodyguards follow me.” Shen Heyu didn’t deny the fact that he had many enemies, nor would she joke about her own safety. But she wanted a better solution – anything to avoid being with him.
“I don’t trust anyone else with this.”
He swiftly blocked every last route of escape with his direct approach.
During the conversation, he glanced at the bruise on her neck as if to subtly remind her of something.
“Does it still hurt?” he suddenly asked.
Shen Heyu shook her head honestly. Although the bruise looked dreadful, the pain wasn’t that intense, especially since he had treated it last night.
After breakfast, just as Pei Yansi had said, he insisted on dragging her into his car.
The driver, as always, was Zhao Jin.
As the car was moving, his cell phone suddenly rang. The car’s Bluetooth activation filled the compartment with a sound that was deep and yet clear.
He pressed to answer.
A strange man’s voice came from the phone: “Brother Zhao, are you sure you want to do this? The woman is crying terribly, saying she wants to see President Pei.”

Shen Heyu could vaguely hear someone crying through the Bluetooth even as the man spoke.
It wasn’t hard for her to guess where the cries were coming from.
Bai Sheng’er’s.
Although she couldn’t see, she could recognize the distinct voice.
Shen Heyu discreetly glanced at the man sitting beside her to see that his expression remained normal, his eyes still carrying a trace of desolate indifference.
He seemed entirely unconcerned by the cries coming from the phone.
Zhao Jin stole a look at Pei Yansi’s expression through the rearview mirror and could nearly guess his thoughts on the matter. Speaking into the phone, he said, “Our President Pei isn’t someone you can see just because you want to. Do as I’ve instructed.”
This response effectively closed off all escape routes for Bai Sheng’er.
Shao You had claimed in the police station that everything was his doing. If it really came down to it, her own punishment would be even harsher than his.
She was not willing to accept this.
Why did things end up this way after all the twists and turns?
She must find a way to turn the tables with Shen Heyu. By any means necessary.
