She Asks for a Divorce Again

Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Injured
 

The night market was noisy, crowded with people coming and going.

A man wielding a short knife grabbed a woman by the roadside, threatening her with the blade to hand over her money. As the throng of the night market surged, many good Samaritans rushed forward to help the woman break free.

But the thug was aggravated by this and yelled out something. Suddenly, more individuals armed with short knives emerged from the crowd, apparently part of an experienced and prepared robbery gang.

Shen Heyu heard the disturbance and instinctively wanted to keep her distance. She was a woman after all, and it was better not to get in the way.

However, she had only taken two steps back when one of the thugs, who had been in this line of work for many years and could tell at a glance that her clothes were valuable, came at her with his knife raised to strike.

Pei Yansi was quick to act, and before Lu Yi could, he grabbed Shen Heyu and pulled her into his arms.

But the thug’s knife was already in motion, and even as he swooped in to save her, the blade still came swinging towards him.

Shen Heyu was startled and before she could react, she was dragged to the ground by Pei Yansi, who had fallen with her. Then, she felt something warm flowing down, dripping onto her neck.

She frowned and looked up to see Pei Yansi’s face gone pale and a deep wound suddenly on his arm, so deep it almost exposed the chilling white of bone.

“President Pei?!” Shen Heyu cried out with concern, but saw that the thug behind them was still trying to advance. However, several men, including Lu Yi, stepped forward and subdued the assailant, and soon after, city management and security arrived to take the criminal away.

As the chaos finally settled down, Shen Heyu helped Pei Yansi up from the ground, staring at the wound on his arm with a frown, “Why did you jump in like that, President Pei?”

Pei Yansi scoffed, “I saved you, and this is how you talk to me?”

Shen Heyu didn’t respond. She indeed felt she shouldn’t be saying such things, but his actions were so unusual. He always seemed to hate her, wishing she would just die, yet now he came to her aid.

But this was not the time for such discussions; the blood on his arm was still flowing profusely, and the three of them hurried back to the hotel.

Doctor Lu, being a physician, also went to Pei Yansi’s presidential suite to treat and bandage the wound properly.

By the time everything was taken care of, it was very late. Doctor Lu packed up his medical kit and said, “It’s late; just make sure not to get the wound wet, and you’ll be fine.”

Pei Yansi didn’t like him, but after all, he had bandaged him up, so he just gave a faint nod, “Don’t bother.”

He was clearly showing his guest out.

Lu Yi didn’t mind, and turning to Shen Heyu said, “Heyu, let’s not disturb President Pei any further.”

Shen Heyu nodded, thinking that was probably what he wanted, for her to leave him alone. She stood up, ready to follow Lu Yi out.

She hadn’t even taken a step when Pei Yansi grabbed her wrist. She turned back, dissatisfied, and met his deep, dark eyes.

“Did I say you could leave?” His tone was cold, his gaze unfriendly.

“But aren’t you supposed to be resting?” Shen Heyu was puzzled, looking into his profound eyes.

He was silent for two seconds, “We are husband and wife, is it so strange that you stay to take care of me?”

He clearly said this for Lu Yi to hear.

Lu Yi frowned slightly, his gaze shifting between the two before settling on Shen Heyu. He didn’t volunteer to ask her to leave, considering she was indeed someone else’s wife.

The decision was in Shen Heyu’s hands.

Shen Heyu looked at the two men in front of her, hesitating for a second, then said to Lu Yi, “You go ahead, I’ll walk you out.”

She indeed had to stay behind and take care of Pei Yansi.

Her words didn’t disappoint Lu Yi much, as he had prepared himself mentally, and he nodded, “No need to see me off; it’s too late. You all rest.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Shen Heyu watched him leave until the room door had closed. Only then did she turn back, only to hear Pei Yansi saying at this moment, “You can’t bear to let him go? Watching for so long?”

Shen Heyu looked down to meet Pei Yansi’s mocking eyes, and before she had a chance to speak, she heard him say, “It seems you two have a pretty good relationship.”

She frowned and didn’t respond to his words—as far as she was concerned, he was just being unreasonable.

She changed the subject, “Let’s wash up and sleep.” She really didn’t feel like dealing with him and turned to leave.

Pei Yansi, unsatisfied, said, “My hand is injured; how can I wash myself?”

Shen Heyu caught the deeper meaning in his words, “What do you mean by that?”

“Doctor Lu already said that my wound can’t touch water,” Pei Yansi said as he stood up, grabbed her wrist, and headed toward the bathroom, “So, you help me.”

Shen Heyu was pulled into the bathroom. The presidential suite’s bathroom was spacious, with a large bathtub in the middle. Since the wound couldn’t touch water, he obviously couldn’t shower.

Pei Yansi casually went toward the bathtub and told her, “Run the water.”

Shen Heyu stood still for two seconds, but eventually bent down to help run the hot water. As she bent down, Pei Yansi happened to be taking off his pants.

The trousers fell in layers, piling up underneath.

They had already done things much more intimate, but Shen Heyu’s ears couldn’t help but turn red when she saw him like this. When she got the hot water ready, Pei Yansi, unbuttoning his shirt, said, “Can’t move my hand, help me with this.”

“Your left hand is fine.”

“I can’t get the right sleeve off.”

Shen Heyu, helpless, bent down to help him take off his shirt. With the shirt falling away, his muscular chest was revealed.

His physique was great, with distinctly visible abs. His tanned skin, dotted with droplets of water, was very sexy.

Shen Heyu uncomfortably averted her gaze, slowly wiping his body. Halfway through, she noticed a change in his body. Before she could react, he pulled her forcefully into the bathtub with him.

…

Bai Sheng’er had always been staying in the hotel arranged by Pei Yansi.

She thought by finding a way to send Shen Heyu out on a temporary business trip, she could have more time with Pei Yansi. Little did she know, he followed her too.

Bai Sheng’er was furious but forced herself to endure it. Yet, during the seemingly endless nights, the thought of Pei Yansi being with another woman made her extremely uncomfortable.

Unable to help it, she called him.

But after several calls with no answer, on what seemed like the umpteenth call, someone finally picked up. Pei Yansi’s voice was somewhat hoarse and satiated, “What’s the matter?”

Upon hearing his voice, Bai Sheng’er knew something was off.

They definitely did it!

Her head heated up with grievances, and choking back sobs, she said, “I had a nightmare, I really miss you, Brother Yan Si, when are you coming to see me…”
