She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 77 - He’s Coming

Chapter 77: Chapter 77 He’s Coming

Pei Yansi left the apartment, and Zhao Jin and the others cleared everything out, even packing up all of Shen Fanshuang’s old belongings. Overnight, the apartment had become an empty house.

He left the matter to Zhao Jin and the others to handle, including handing Bai Sheng’er over to the police.

He had thought that after dealing with these issues, he would be able to rest well upon his return, but when he lay on the marriage bed he once shared with Shen Heyu, he seemed to faintly smell her hair fragrance.

Pei Yansi felt an emptiness inside him; his sleep was extremely light, and in his daze, he wasn’t even sure if he had fallen asleep.

Over the next few months, Pei Yansi lived alone in his own apartment, occasionally returning to the marital home he had shared with Shen Heyu.

The room had been cleaned up, the items inside unchanged, everything was as if she was still there. But only he knew that there would never be traces of her there again.

...

For several months, aside from work, he had no interest in anything on ordinary days; his demeanor had become even more oppressive and somber than before.

It seemed as if the days had suddenly become bewildering, walking through life like a zombie.

Autumn passed quickly, and by early winter, the city’s weather had turned very cold, small flakes of snow had begun to drift down from the sky.

As the year neared its end, Pei Yansi’s company was becoming busier, preoccupied with things like arranging holidays for the staff.

He was so busy that he was hardly seen. This day, as usual, when he left the house, the old lady was already waiting in the dining room.

“Not having breakfast again?” the old lady called out to him as she saw he was about to leave directly.

He glanced at his watch, saying, “I don’t have time.”

The old lady said, “Heyu isn’t here, and you’ve kept that director position vacant, unwilling to find someone to help. Look at what you’ve become over these two months!”

“Come and eat breakfast before you leave!”

The old lady’s tone was firm. Pei Yansi looked at her for two seconds before finally sitting down next to her. The maid quickly added tableware for him.

Seeing him comply, the old lady sighed and then said, “Hire a director to help you.”

“I don’t need it,” Pei Yansi said. “I can manage.”

In reality, Zhao Jin had indeed recruited a few, but none had ever passed the probation period; none met his standards.

The old lady observed his reaction for a long while before saying, “It seems that you feel the people you hired previously didn’t sync well with you, right?”

Pei Yansi paused and didn’t deny it, nodding instead.

She sighed, saying, “No one is born in sync with you. Think about it, when Heyu was here, why were you able to work so well together?”

He said nothing, but he seriously began to think about it in his heart. He rarely had such serious thoughts about her contributions to the company.

“Maybe it wasn’t that you two were in sync, but that she was always carefully respecting you, accommodating you, coordinating everything with you.”

Pei Yansi’s heart quivered.

He didn’t admit it, but neither did he deny it. After a long while, he put down his chopsticks and said, “I’m full.”

Having said that, he got up and left, not turning back no matter what else the old lady said.

Getting into the car, Zhao Jin was already waiting and planned to go directly to the company, as usual. However, he heard Pei Yansi’s voice from the backseat, “Hold off on that director position for now.”

“Ah?” Zhao Jin said. “But that will make the president’s office very busy; it might be difficult to operate.”

“I said to hold off, shift the duties to me,” he declared.

Zhao Jin saw his expression through the rearview mirror and quickly agreed, not daring to say more.

The same year-end wasn’t nearly as lively or festive overseas as it was domestically.

Shen Heyu busied herself with the Shen Group’s company, grudgingly working in the director’s position for months, rapidly securing her place within the company and gaining recognition from the veterans.

As time progressed, her abdomen had also gradually started to grow.

After the new year, when spring arrived, her due date was approaching.

She hadn’t continued staying at the Shen Family residence but had gone out to buy a house and moved out. As her due date neared, she stopped going to work and, with Shen Jiangli’s influence, got a year’s maternity leave.

Living alone, Shen Jiangli took great care of her.

By the end of spring, Shen Heyu was already nine months pregnant, scarcely able to move about. Shen Jiangli came by to take care of her as usual, this time bringing many ointments with him.

While taking out the ointments, he said, “This is for your abdomen, it can help prevent stretch marks, remember to use it morning and evening. Moreover, since your due date is soon, I’ve booked several gynecologists who will come by tomorrow.”

Shen Heyu nodded, “I really appreciate all the help these days.”

Shen Jiangli smiled and said, “Why thank me? Who knows, maybe this child will even call me dad in the future.”

Shen Heyu laughed at that, “At most, he could call you uncle.”

Hearing this, Shen Jiangli seriously looked at her, scrutinizing her pallid face for a long time before saying, “Heyu, I’m serious. If you’re willing…”

“I’m serious too, you can only be the uncle. You know I don’t think that way, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be about you. I don’t want to hold you back.”

Shen Jiangli forced a smile, pretending it was all the same to him, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, respect your opinion. But no matter when, if you ever need help, you can always ask me.”

Shen Jiangli finally nodded again, smiling, “Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?” he said. “I have more news for you, there’s a big project at the company that needs early preparation. We’ll open it up to various industries in six months, are you interested?”

“What are the conditions for the candidacy?”

“No conditions, my dad is personally selecting people. You’re so capable, you’ll definitely be selected. But you’re about to have your baby soon, right? My dad is worried you won’t want to, so he’s considering others too. What do you think?”

Shen Heyu calculated the time in her mind. In six months, her baby would not yet be weaned, but skipping a few days for baby formula wouldn’t be an issue, and they would also hire a nanny to help at home.

Her time would definitely work.

She nodded, “I’ll take it.”

Shen Jiangli wasn’t surprised, as if he had known she would agree from the beginning. After staying a while longer, he left.

Shen Heyu reclined alone on the sofa, idly scrolling through her phone, when suddenly she received a text from Lu Yunlan: Heyu, Pei Yansi is coming to Shen Group!

Shen Heyu was startled by the message and quickly replied: Coming for what?

[To inspect a project. Your due date is approaching, right? I’ll also come to see you then, and we’ll talk.]

Reading the message, Shen Heyu felt a bit uneasy. When she had divorced Pei Yansi, she had deceived him, claiming that her child was no longer alive. But if he came and saw…

She had no idea what that unpredictable man might do!
