Chapter 216: Seven-Day Promise
Shen Heyu lay beneath Pei Yansi, completely pinned down on the bed, the soft mattress deeply indenting due to their movements.
Their proximity was close so that the heat of Pei Yansi’s breath sprayed onto her face and neck, as if he was inhaling deeply in her neck crevice, craving her scent, enjoying her aroma.
Shen Heyu was frozen by his actions.
She had thought that this time, with Lu Yi’s and Shen Jiangli’s help, she could have finally left Pei Yansi, never again having to stay by his side like a worthless clown.
It didn’t matter if she lacked freedom; she didn’t even possess love.
At that thought, considering the man currently on top of her, so familiar yet so strange, Shen Heyu furrowed her brow, ever more uncertain about what she should do.
She closed her eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners.
Pei Yansi, buried quietly in her neck, suddenly felt her tears falling, wetting the pillow. He lifted his head, placing both hands beside her body, his dark eyes fixing on her.
"Why are you crying?" he asked. Is being by my side really that painful? You even cried.
Hadn’t she been the one who loved him previously, hadn’t she been the one who said she wanted to stay by his side? That was why he had married her, keeping her close.
