She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 69 - : Nursery Room

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Nursery Room

Pei Yansi stepped outside and ran straight into the old lady, who asked, “How is Heyu doing?”

“There’s no more danger,” he said gravely, but thinking about the box of medication that had been swapped, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

He hadn’t closed the door tightly, so the conversations outside could be heard by Shen Heyu in the room.

The old lady spoke reproachfully and with visible dissatisfaction, “Don’t think I don’t know, this has to do with that Bai woman. Though I’ve already given her a telling-off today, I didn’t go all-out.”

To spare him from having to come back to her to demand an explanation.

She continued, “But you’d best remember what your priorities are, who your legal wife is. If she can harm your own child today, she could harm your doting grandmother tomorrow.”

...

Pei Yansi said, “You’re being too harsh.”

“Am I really? Look at Heyu lying in bed right now. Doesn’t she hurt? Am I wronging Bai Sheng’er with what she’s done?”

Hearing this, Pei Yansi didn’t reply. He vividly remembered Shen Heyu weeping in the hospital room, how her tears fell into the palm of his hand, their scalding heat, and how pale and bloodless her face was.

Seeing his silence, the old lady knew she had made some impact and pressed on, “Now that you’ve seen it with your own eyes, what do you plan to do about Bai Sheng’er?”

“Let it be for now,” Pei Yansi said indifferently, as he might have had reservations about Bai Sheng’er, but it had never reached the point of punishment.

However, he didn’t share his personal worries and simply walked past the old lady to leave.

Shen Heyu, inside the room, heard the conversation outside and could discern the deeper meaning in his words, which was that he wouldn’t do anything to Bai Sheng’er.

Today’s incident was just her bad luck.

Pei Yansi took Zhao Jin outside to prepare many baby essentials and quickly returned to set up the nursery in the old residence.

He was busy until nightfall, arranging two rooms—one styled for a daughter and the other for a son—each showing careful consideration in every detail.

However, there was no time for renovation.

At night, as before, Pei Yansi gave Shen Heyu some soup to drink, washed up, and then lay down beside her.

He said solemnly, “The nursery is now ready, so you can’t say I’m not concerned about the child anymore. Take good care of it.”

“The nursery is ready, but what about Bai Sheng’er? Do you plan to just let her be? Is the pain I suffered today what I deserve?”

Shen Heyu’s words made Pei Yansi pause.

He didn’t expect her to question him; bearing a child indeed seemed to embolden her quite a bit. He turned to look at her quietly, his eyes narrowing into a half-mocking smile after a long moment, “Don’t speak to me in that tone.”

“Did I say something wrong? Can’t I compare with her in your heart?”

Pei Yansi stared into her eyes, his glance growing colder and colder.

Like frost spreading, Shen Heyu felt a chill from his gaze; usually, she would never say or question these things with him.

But now she was pregnant.

And she finally understood just how unstable one’s emotions could get during pregnancy.

As she was thinking, she suddenly saw a cold smile form on the corner of his lips as he said, “She is incomparable, are you satisfied now? Or do you think you have the power to make me punish Shengsheng for your sake?”

Shen Heyu hadn’t spoken yet when she heard him add three more words, short and indifferent, yet they were like a handful of sharp blades, all piercing into her chest.

“You’re not worthy.”

“Even if you are carrying my, Pei Yansi’s, child, you’re not worthy.”

Shen Heyu felt her heart turn cold halfway, tears swirling in her eyes again. She was emotionally unstable at the moment, and upon hearing his heart-wrenching words, she couldn’t hold back.

Seeing her about to cry again, Pei Yansi felt a surge of irritation, threw off the blankets, got out of bed, pulled on the clothes next to him, and walked out the door, “You rest by yourself. I’m not coming back.”

The sound of the door closing came.

The bridal room fell silent, and Shen Heyu could only hear her own sorrowful heartbeat. The room was spacious and silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop; outside, the autumn wind blew in gusts, rustling the trees in the garden.

She lay in bed alone until the early hours, but simply could not fall asleep. In her drowsy state, her cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

She picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, it was Pei Yansi.

Of course, she wouldn’t hang up his calls at any time and answered, “What is it?”

However, there was no response from the other side. Shen Heyu watched as the call duration ticked by second by second, reaching the ninth second when she ran out of patience, just as she was about to hang up, she heard a panting from the other side.

“Brother Yan Si… don’t…”

Shen Heyu stiffened. She could distinguish that this was Bai Sheng’er’s voice, a voice she could never forget in her lifetime.

“Fanshuang…” Pei Yansi’s deep voice came from the other side, followed by a rustling noise, indecipherable sounds transmitted through the phone.

Shen Heyu felt a pang in her heart as if her abdomen began to ache faintly again, but she knew it was heartache.

While she was at home pregnant with his child, he was outside cooing with Bai Sheng’er, and most importantly, the person he was fond of was the very one who had hurt their child not long ago.

Shen Heyu’s body trembled, almost unable to hold the phone; she fiercely hung up the call.

The moment she hung up, the phone slipped from her hand, rolled into the bed, and the phone’s screen touched her elbow, sending a cold chill through her.

Unable to help herself, tears started falling, wetting the entire pillow.

She cried herself to sleep, then woke up in nightmares. The next day, she woke with tear-stained eyes.

Shen Heyu looked at the gloomy skies outside—one of the early autumn rains had started, and the temperature in the room felt cold.

Pei Yansi still hadn’t returned, the space beside her was empty. She should have been accustomed to it by now, but when she thought about what she had heard last night, she couldn’t help feeling a void in her heart.

The maid entered with breakfast, slowly watching her eat before leaving. During this time, the old lady also visited her several times, and although she showed concern, that couldn’t compare to the companionship of the child’s father being at home.

She made several phone calls trying to get Pei Yansi to return, but none of the calls got through.

Not wanting to upset Shen Heyu, she didn’t tell her about this.

After eating and taking her medicine, Shen Heyu slept drowsily in bed all day, and when she woke up in the evening, outside had completely darkened.

She checked her phone, it was ten o’clock at night. However, Pei Yansi still hadn’t returned, not even a single phone call or message.

Just as she was feeling lost, a call from Pei Yansi appeared on her phone, and for some reason, she deliberately waited a few seconds before answering.
