Chapter 415: Can’t Let You Leave
Pei Yansi’s Adam’s apple rolled as he let go of Shen Heyu’s wrist one finger at a time. This time, he used a clever force, careful not to hurt Shen Heyu, perhaps learning from past experience.
"Since I’ve already followed you back, where will I be staying tonight?"
"You’ll stay in your old room, you shouldn’t need me to show you the way. But if you’ve forgotten, I don’t mind escorting you back to the bedroom."
"No need, it’s only a short walk. Besides, Mr. Pei also said that I’ve only been gone for three months, not three years. I remember it very clearly."
Shen Heyu stepped past Pei Yansi and walked back to her old bedroom, step by step. The moment she pushed open the door, she was surprised to find her room preserved exactly as she had left it, even the blanket had not been moved.
Now back here, Shen Heyu felt a flood of emotions, and for a moment, she couldn’t discern which one prevailed.
She took a deep breath, quickly told herself that things were no longer as they had been three years ago, then proceeded to wash up as if nothing was wrong before lying down in bed to sleep.
Lying in bed, Shen Heyu couldn’t fall asleep no matter what she tried.
Pei Yansi sat in the living room all the while, smoking one cigarette after another. When dawn came, Zhao Jin returned and, seeing the ashtray full of cigarette butts, couldn’t help but softly remind Pei Yansi.
"President, why smoke so much? It’s bad for your health. I just went to check on Lu Yi; he was just dead drunk. He has already been taken back to his place; there’s no danger."
