She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 78 - : Intrusion

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Intrusion

Thinking about all the chaos, Shen Heyu felt somewhat disordered inside.

Although she had not been at the company recently, there was no guarantee that her colleagues wouldn’t talk in a way that Pei Yan might hear. If he wanted to find her, it would be easy.

The next day, Shen Heyu received a call from Lu Yunlan saying she had arrived. Soon after, the doorbell rang.

She went to open the door for Lu Yunlan, supporting her pronounced waist.

“Why did you come so early, why didn’t you call me to pick you up?” Shen Heyu opened the door and led her inside.

Lu Yunlan, carrying a mix of large and small bags with items she had personally brought to avoid exposing her whereabouts, explained.

...

They were all maternity and baby products, including a sizable maternity bag.

As she closed the door, she said, “Your belly is already so big, how could I let you come pick me up? I’ve come here so many times, I know the way.”

Shen Heyu sat on the sofa and asked, “You said Yansi came too, what’s going on?”

“There’s a project in the Shen Family, pulling in collaborators. His family’s business and influence abroad are so vast, many people are longing to get a piece of that lucrative market. Yansi being who he is, of course, wouldn’t miss out and also came.”

“Right, my brother also came. Our family is involved too, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known.”

“Did Doctor Lu also come?”

Lu Yunlan nodded and took out a series of items she brought, explaining one by one how to use them to Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu listened patiently.

When Lu Yunlan finally finished explaining, suddenly, the sound of the doorbell was heard again.

Both women in the room became alert at once, exchanging wary looks.

Lu Yunlan got up to open the door, peered through the peephole, and saw it was Lu Yi. She signaled Shen Heyu with her eyes, and after receiving permission, opened the door.

“Brother? Why did you come here, are you tracking me?” As soon as the door opened, Lu Yunlan couldn’t help but accuse.

Lu Yi frowned, looking past her into the room. His eyes settled on Shen Heyu, sitting on the sofa with a prominent belly, and he said, “I’m not tracking you, I am protecting you. It’s not like being back home. You came to see Heyu, why didn’t you tell me?”

Saying this, he walked past his sister into the house.

Lu Yunlan closed the door and followed him, saying, “It’s not that I didn’t tell you, it’s that Heyu didn’t want too many people to know.”

Lu Yi walked up to Shen Heyu and lowered his gaze to her face.

Her features softened with pregnancy, a unique tenderness obvious in her expression that only a mother could exude. Her cheeks were plumper, and her figure was not as slender as before, clearly malnourished.

“Heyu, long time no see.”

Shen Heyu, listening to his voice deep as broken jade, felt her heart skip a few beats, a familiar thrill of alarm from the past.

“Doctor Lu.”

“You came out here alone, why didn’t you tell me? Don’t you trust me anymore?”

Shen Heyu shook her head.

“Is this child… Yansi’s?”

She nodded, “But he doesn’t know, I’m worried…” That’s why she didn’t want to tell too many people, not because she was deliberately hiding him.

He had once helped her, and she didn’t want her benefactor to misunderstand.

But with these words, Lu Yi had already grasped the deeper meaning and smiled, “I’m not blaming you. It looks like you’re close to your due date, right? Yunlan and I will stay here with you.”

Shen Heyu’s nose tingled with emotion.

At that moment, another round of doorbell rings sounded from outside.

The three of them exchanged odd glances; Lu Yi took the initiative to walk to the door. Looking through the peephole and seeing the person outside, his posture noticeably stiffened.

Sensing his reaction, Shen Heyu felt a bad premonition.

Lu Yi didn’t open the door. The doorbell rang a few more times, much more urgently than before, highlighting the impatience of the visitor.

Then Pei Yansi’s voice came through the door, “Shen Heyu, I know you are here. What, your little lover can see you, but you can’t see your ex-husband?”

He had just left the Shen Group when he saw Lu Yi sneakily following behind his sister. Why would a brother need to tail his sister?

Thinking of Lu Yunlan’s relationship with Shen Heyu, he guessed why; despite knowing it was wrong, the thought of not having seen her for so long propelled him to follow her here.

Separated by a door, Shen Heyu felt her scalp tingle upon hearing his voice; even after nearly a year apart, she knew the man’s stubborn nature well—he wouldn’t give up until he achieved his aims.

She had no choice but to signal Lu Yi to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Pei Yansi’s gaze shifted, ignoring the Lu siblings and focusing on Shen Heyu sitting on the couch.

Having not seen her for nearly a year, he hadn’t expected to be greeted with such a scene—her with a pregnant belly, sitting on the couch, a man standing by her side, appearing to be the father of the child…

Pei Yansi felt as if struck by lightning, his gaze darkened as he stared at Shen Heyu’s belly and said, “I remember, at the time of our divorce you said there was no baby. So, whose is this?”

He didn’t enter but stood by the door, his gaze oppressive enough to seem to fill the room, making Shen Heyu uncomfortable from head to toe.

She swallowed her discomfort and said, “It’s none of your business.”

Before Pei Yansi could reply, Lu Yi spoke first, “President Pei no longer has the right to inquire about Heyu’s personal life, does he?”

He looked fleetingly at Lu Yi, a mere glance that brushed over him like a feather before settling back on Shen Heyu.

Calling her “Heyu” as if they were close.

He said, “Did you get pregnant after coming here?” His question was unmasked, a storm seemed to rage and crash within his eyes.

Shen Heyu’s heart trembled, she certainly could not let him know the truth, and she nodded.

Pei Yansi scoffed, good for her. Since the divorce, and it hasn’t even been a year yet, she was pregnant with another man’s child, visibly so!

He tried to keep his outward appearance normal, not showing a speck of his emotions, and after a few seconds of a hostile exchange of glances with Lu Yi, he turned and left without a word.

His departure was decisive, his black suit making his entire demeanor appear cold and indifferent, ascetic and superior.

Upon leaving, he closed the door, took the elevator to the ground floor, and got into the car waiting by the roadside.

Zhao Jin stealthily observed his expression through the rearview mirror, seeing his face as dark as iron and his gaze unwelcoming, with an aura as chilly as sub-zero temperatures around him, causing him not to dare to speak or ask more.

The more Pei Yansi thought, the more he felt resentful. She was visibly pregnant, and with someone else’s child. He had been influenced by Bai Sheng’er back then, but he had never truly doubted whose child it was initially.

But this one…

Pei Yansi snorted coldly, “Let’s go.”

Zhao Jin immediately drove away, heading back to the hotel they had booked in advance.

After he left, Shen Heyu finally felt relieved, never having expected him to find her here.

His appearance was like a summer storm, quick to come and quickly gone, leaving no other trace, and Shen Heyu’s life returned to tranquility.

Half a year later, she finished her work at the Shen Group, preparing to return home for a bidding conference. This time, the Pei Family would be the biggest bidder.

She worried she might meet that man again.
