Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Bold Confession

Pei Yansi didn’t wait for Zhao Jin’s answer, and with a flash of dissatisfaction, he looked up and glanced at Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin, almost subconsciously, immediately straightened up.

He looked at Pei Yansi and said, “I think, I mean I feel…” he emphasized his own opinion, fearing his words might anger Pei Yansi and result in no good for himself.

“Maybe, it’s because President Pei’s emotions are too restrained, and his methods too domineering. Women like gentleness, considerateness, and passionate, straightforward romance. You’re so reserved that she can’t feel your love, of course she wouldn’t believe in your feelings for her.”

Pei Yansi frowned and said, “My love for her?” Is it that obvious?

He looked up at Zhao Jin with a dark expression in his eyes, yet revealed nothing out of the ordinary, “How would you know my feelings for her, did I ever say?”

“…” Zhao Jin was at a loss for words—hadn’t he just mentioned it himself?

Pei Yansi didn’t continue questioning but instead said, “Since you can perceive my feelings for her, why can’t she, why wouldn’t she believe?”

Zhao Jin remained silent.

Because the conversation had come full circle.

Pei Yansi was thoroughly perplexed. It was as if he was talking to himself, yet also following up on what Zhao Jin had said, “If I were to seek your advice, how could I be less reserved and achieve straightforwardness and romance?”

Zhao Jin didn’t know either.

He was a bachelor himself, a lifelong single at that, but he remembered an advertisement he had seen before, ‘a gift for a girlfriend that moved her to tears’.

He recalled the tagline and said, “Boldly confess, bravely declare love.”

“…” Pei Yansi felt asking was the same as not.

He told Zhao Jin, “Forget it, you can go back.”

Zhao Jin let out an “ah”, “What about Miss Shen…”

“I will handle it myself.”

Was he supposed to show this side of unrequited love to him?

Of course, he intended to personally ‘retrieve’ Shen Heyu.

After Zhao Jin left, the hospital room quieted down. Pei Yansi sat alone on a chair, gazing out at the vast night from the window, a sudden and genuine sense of powerlessness washing over him.

He truly didn’t know what to do, in order to make Shen Heyu believe in his feelings for her. Although it wasn’t necessary to constantly express himself, he still believed…

He wished she would stay by his side for good.

To always be with him, and he would always be good to her, by her side, something so simple, yet why was it so hard?

With his head bowed, Pei Yansi thought about Shen Heyu meeting Lu Yi tomorrow, and he couldn’t suppress the surge of hostility within him, his eyes storming with rage.

*

Shen Heyu still didn’t know that Pei Yansi was aware of her actions.

She had a restless sleep all night, with a sense of anxiety she couldn’t place. Her night was plagued with nightmares.

One moment she dreamed she had run away, the next she dreamed that Pei Yansi had captured her and taken her back, and then she saw him grabbing Yuexue to threaten her, to make her stay by his side forever…

It wasn’t until the sky began to brighten that Shen Heyu finally emerged from those groggy nightmares.

When she came to, it was already noon, and because of the poor sleep, she felt completely drained.

Shen Heyu got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, she felt everything around her was strange.

The maid had already prepared lunch, and Yuexue had gone to school.

Seeing her heading out directly, the maid asked in surprise, “Miss Shen, aren’t you going to eat something?”

She had indeed not eaten for a day; she had not eaten yesterday after coming back because she had no appetite. She slept through the morning, her stomach felt empty, but perhaps she was already past the point of hunger.

She no longer felt the pangs of hunger.

She said, “No need.”

“You didn’t eat last night, Miss Shen. Anyway, your health is the most important thing…”

The auntie looked troubled and said, “Also, Mr. Pei asked us to take care of you and specially prepare nutritious meals for you. If you don’t eat, when he asks later…”

They wouldn’t be able to explain themselves.

Even if Pei Yansi wouldn’t take his anger out on them, he would certainly lose his temper. After all, he was the capitalist.

Shen Heyu understood this principle and ended up sitting at the dining table, seriously eating her meal. Sometimes, that’s how it was after hunger passed; you wouldn’t have an appetite until you actually started eating, and then just one bite could reignite your hunger.

After Shen Heyu had lunch, she felt much stronger, and her heart wasn’t as anxious as before. She went out, drove herself to the cafe next to the university.

The university town was far from there, almost crossing the entire city.

By the time she arrived, it was already half-past two.

She was worried that she had arrived too late and Lu Yi might think she wouldn’t come and leave.

But when Shen Heyu got there, she saw Lu Yi sitting in a corner, waiting for her.

His facial expression looked very anxious, constantly looking around, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

Shen Heyu hurried over to him and said, “I’m sorry, I’m late.”

Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the dark circles under her eyes and asked, “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Shen Heyu nodded, “I was restless.”

After sitting down, she looked around, making sure that no one from Pei Yansi’s side had followed, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yi felt a pang of heartache.

He said, “Pei Yansi has already made you so sensitive.”

Shen Heyu responded, “He hasn’t tortured me.” In fact, since she returned to the country, she could clearly feel the changes in Pei Yansi’s feelings for her.

She believed more that the reason she ended up like this was due to her own sense of gain and loss, overthinking, and not living happily enough.

Hearing her say this, Lu Yi said nothing more, not asking if she was defending Pei Yansi, only stating, “Have you really thought it through? If you’re willing, I can leave with you.”

“I’ll take my family and Lu Yunlan with me and won’t give President Pei any opportunity to threaten you.”

It was impossible for Shen Heyu to say she wasn’t touched.

Her eyes became a little moist as she asked, “Am I worth it?”

“Whether you’re worth it or not, I decide,” said Lu Yi very seriously. Actually, what did it matter if she were worth it or not?

What he valued more was his willingness to sacrifice for her, as long as he could help her.

Shen Heyu heard his answer and nodded, “Thank you.”

“Heyu,” Lu Yi cleared his throat, looking at her seriously, “you know, I’m doing this voluntarily, you don’t have to thank me.”

Shen Heyu managed a difficult smile.

It was hard for her to describe her feelings at the moment; she felt as if she were a… troublemaker to others.

She was about to speak when she saw, through the transparent glass door of the cafe, a familiar car pulling up and parking by the curb.

Shen Heyu was taken aback.

Pei Yansi had come. Her heart raced with anxiety; he was here to catch her.
