Chapter 336: Straight to the Point
Shen Heyu weighed her options, but it seemed she couldn’t find a better solution. Pei Yansi had a piercing gaze, sharp in seeing through both matters and people. Perhaps he could really find the truth behind Lu Yi’s car accident.
Shen Heyu thought for a while and felt it wasn’t entirely unfeasible. However, before that, she wanted to get more from him, so she said, "That would be too much of a loss for me. The effort I’d have to put in is both mentally and physically taxing."
"What else do you want?" Pei Yansi looked at her, unsurprised. If she had agreed so easily, she wouldn’t be Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu said, "Lu Yi and I have been good friends for so many years. Now that this has happened to him, I cannot just sit by and do nothing. I want to be able to see him whenever I wish, and to stay by his side for as long as I want."
After hearing her words, Pei Yansi’s face visibly darkened at an observable speed. Truthfully, he was unwilling, not just unwilling, but even somewhat repulsed.
After all, she still wanted to be by Lu Yi’s side. Pei Yansi felt a bit bitter inside. He said to her, "I’m arranging for a caregiver to look after him. You don’t need to worry yourself by going to his side."
Shen Heyu rejected his suggestion without any surprise. "A caregiver is a caregiver, and I am me. If it were me lying in the hospital today, he would never just sit idly by."
"Must it be this way?" His voice deepened, carrying a touch of disappointment. Although subtle, Shen Heyu noticed it, and her heart inexplicably quickened a little upon sensing that hint of loss.
Since when did she become so attuned to his emotional shifts, whether good or bad?
At the same time, his pull on her feelings became more apparent, which was not a good sign.
