She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 151 - Excessive

Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Excessive

Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Excessive

President Cheng, almost sixty, preferred passionate young people. In today’s society, where interests prevail, everyone has turned into a realist, and emotions have almost entirely disappeared from the business mind. He believed that emotions were actually the most precious and worth pursuing.

Because they could prove that a person had lived.

Life is not a money-printing machine; it should have its own vivid colors.

As President Cheng was reflecting on this, the office door opened again.

Pei Yansi arrived.

He barged in without knocking, only to see Shen Jiangli half-encircling Shen Heyu.

And Shen Heyu… seemed to be enjoying it a bit.

This fanned the frustration that Pei Yansi had been feeling all morning straight to his forehead. He emotionlessly said to President Cheng, “Sorry, you and President Shen can continue. Heyu and I have an urgent matter to deal with.”

Having said that, without waiting for President Cheng to recover from his surprise, Pei Yansi took a long stride over, unceremoniously grabbed Shen Heyu, and pulled her up. He tightly gripped her wrist and forcefully led her out of President Cheng’s office.

All the way to the pantry.

Shen Heyu didn’t struggle. Although her wrist hurt terribly, this was someone else’s company, their turf, and many eyes from outside the cubicles were watching. It wouldn’t do to have a conflict with Pei Yansi here and now—it would only make her the butt of others’ jokes.

She tried to keep pace with Pei Yansi. The moment they entered the pantry and Pei Yansi closed the door after him, Shen Heyu coldly looked at him and said, “Let go!”

She really thought Pei Yansi was regressing, becoming more childish by the moment. With such an important collaboration and project negotiation at stake, he was still acting so carelessly, preoccupied with nothing but sentiments of love.

Pei Yansi released her. The coldness in Shen Heyu’s eyes deeply hurt him, and he felt her growing more distant from him.

However, his letting go wasn’t because of her attitude, but because he realized he had hurt her without consideration.

Ignoring the feeling of his heart breaking, Pei Yansi took Shen Heyu’s wrist and saw the light purple bruises on her fair skin, which only intensified the ache in his heart.

“Heyu, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just want to tell you, you are mine, you are Pei Yansi’s woman. No matter where you are, please remember this and maintain your propriety!”

Shen Heyu: “Are you sick? I am me, an independent, autonomous, free-spirited individual. Pei Yansi, I’m warning you, don’t think that just because we’ve slept together it means anything. It represents nothing, except…”

The last part, except that you’re a freebie, she held back, swallowing it before it could leave her mouth. Instinctively, she didn’t want to use such language to hurt Pei Yansi’s pride, nor did she want to demean herself with those words.

“What does it represent? Except that you won’t ever get intimate with any other man, not even getting too close, right? Is that your promise? Fine, I’ve heard it. Now leave,” Pei Yansi finished her sentence for her, his mood instantly soothed.

Silently, Shen Heyu gave him a look, observing the pleasure rising in his deep dark eyes and the reflection of her own cold self. Silently pursing her lips, she turned and opened the door, returning to continue business discussions with President Cheng.

After reentering, Shen Heyu apologized to President Cheng. As she tried to sit back down, Pei Yansi beat her to it. He forcefully guided her to a single sofa on one side, while he himself sat next to Shen Jiangli.

President Cheng’s gaze flicked between the three, finding them highly amusing.

After finishing the business discussion, President Cheng addressed the trio, “This project is very important to me. It signifies a new beginning and a better future for our three companies. I hope you all take it seriously. Do not let personal emotions interfere with the project itself.”

Pei Yansi coolly nodded in response, then stood up, pulling Shen Heyu to her feet.

Shen Heyu gave her earnest assurance to President Cheng, promising the project would proceed smoothly and she would maintain her meticulous work ethic.

Shen Jiangli smirked, slowly rising, then casting a sidelong glance at Pei Yansi before telling President Cheng, “Rest assured, we don’t have a habit of risking our companies on a whim.”

President Cheng beamed like a plump chrysanthemum. Today’s youth were truly intriguing.

But his good mood only lasted until they sat down in the hotel’s private dining room.

While waiting for their meal, Pei Yansi pulled his chair close to Shen Heyu, draped his arm around her waist from behind, and leaned on her somewhat lazily.

As for President Cheng, he turned on the TV in the luxurious room to watch the news—a daily routine he kept no matter how busy he was.

In the moment he switched channels, he flipped back to the gossip channel, which mentioned Pei Yansi taking his girlfriend to a business negotiation.

The report was ambiguous, with no clear images, but it generated an allure of mystery.

After watching, President Cheng continued flipping channels, chuckling, “The news nowadays, especially the gossip, is nearly all speculation. Look at that; it’s just a teaser to pique the public’s curiosity. Now, President Pei, maybe you should be preparing to make a costly statement?”

Pausing, he put down the remote and seriously added, “President Pei, it would be wise to pay attention to this matter. As they say, such things can affect the stock market if not contained, which none of us want to see happen.”

Pei Yansi clearly understood his implication.

He was worried that the rumors could impact their collaboration.

Pei Yansi had been patient with President Cheng all day out of consideration for Shen Heyu, knowing how much she valued the project, not just for her professional dedication but also out of responsibility towards Shen Jiangli.

And now President Cheng thought he could treat Pei Yansi lightly?

He laughed coldly, replying nonchalantly, “What’s there to handle? Let them talk.”

The more they talked, the better. He wished everyone knew right now that Shen Heyu was his ‘girlfriend.’

Shen Heyu frowned, glancing at him with the urge to kick him out, but her good manners held back.

She coldly said, “Mr. Pei, watch your language.”
