Chapter 36: 36 Chapters Kiss
All eyes in the hospital room turned at the sound, spotting Shen Heyu standing by the door, holding a meal box in her hands.
Her illness seemed to have improved, clad in a simple set of home clothes, her hair casually tied into a low ponytail.
Strands of hair slipped down beside her temples, accentuating her beautiful face.
She paused when she saw the scene inside the room, apparently not expecting to find Pei Yansi there.
Pei Yansi silently observed her, his gaze falling onto the meal box in her hands.
Lu Yi was the first to speak, smiling as he approached her, taking the meal box from her hands, “Did you bring this for me?”
...
Shen Heyu nodded, “It’s late, Yun Lan mentioned you’d need a night snack, and since I had some free time, I brought it over for you.”
In truth, it had all been prepared by Lu Yunlan, who mentioned she wanted to catch up on some drama and asked her to make the delivery.
Lu Yi didn’t concern himself with the underlying reasons; her personal delivery made him very happy. He smiled and said, “Thank you, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble.”
Shen Heyu shook her head, “This is nothing compared to what you’ve done for me.”
Lu Yi smiled, then glanced at Bai Sheng’er and said, “Since President Pei doubts my medical skills, I’ll find another colleague to take care of Miss Bai’s wounds. For now, I’ll take a break for a night snack.”
With that, he prepared to leave, intending to eat with Shen Heyu.
He wielded significant authority in the hospital, and so for cases that didn’t necessarily require his intervention, he could delegate to others. His priority was to perform surgeries that could save lives, rather than waste time here watching the love scene unfold between Pei Yansi and Bai Sheng’er.
However, upon seeing him about to depart, Pei Yansi stepped forward unhappily, blocking his path, positioning himself in front of Shen Heyu.
He spoke coldly, “If you want to change doctors, that’s fine, but as for my wife, Doctor Lu, you better stay out of it.”
After finishing his words, he promptly took Shen Heyu and left.
He paid no mind to Bai Sheng’er’s calls from behind.
Lu Yi frowned as he watched the two of them leave, feeling dissatisfied though he had no other recourse; they were the true husband and wife in name, and if he felt jealous, he couldn’t find a proper status to justify it.
The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more he regretted allowing Shen Heyu to go off on her own to pursue academic research.
Shen Heyu was dragged away by Pei Yansi without explanation. At that time of night, the hospital corridors weren’t crowded, but she still preferred not to make a scene and attract attention.
Pei Yansi pulled her into a stairwell.
The lighting in the stairwell was dim, and Pei Yansi stood against the wall, the cold white wall behind him setting off his already cold demeanor.
“What do you mean by this?” he was the first to confront Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu, her face expressionless, didn’t even look up at him and simply asked, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh, you don’t know?”
Pei Yansi couldn’t help but snicker, she left without a word with someone else, and moreover, she followed Lu Yunlan to Lu Yi’s family. Regardless of the nature of their relationship, Pei Yansi never believed in pure platonic friendships between men and women.
Especially because men understand men best, how could he possibly not know what Lu Yi was up to?
He spoke in a cold tone, “You just run off without a word with other men, have you consulted me? Have you forgotten who your legal husband is?”
Shen Heyu was not in the mood to speak much to him now; she had a fever that hadn’t completely subsided. Though the fever had broken, her body was still weak, and without paying him any attention, she turned to leave.
But such an action, to Pei Yansi’s eyes, was nothing but a deliberate evasion.
He sneered, “You sure have grown a bigger temper, is it because you’ve got an old flame now, and thinking he can have your back, you start showing me attitude?”
Shen Heyu’s footsteps halted, his words were simply too ugly to hear, “I hope you’re being reasonable.”
“What reason? Is it the reason that you, as my wife, moved out without saying a word to another man’s house, or is it that you have a secret crush on Lu Yi, something that started back in college?”
“Pei Yansi! You’re insane!”
Shen Heyu, provoked by his words, turned around and yelled at him.

Pei Yansi was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected that she would still yell at him because of another man. His face grew cold and silent. He suddenly grabbed Shen Heyu’s wrist, pulled her into his embrace, then took hold of her chin to lift her face, and bent down to kiss her deeply.
Shen Heyu frowned, clenching her teeth tightly, refusing to succumb.
But he had his ways of bending her to his will, reaching out to pinch her chin, squeezing just enough to hurt. Shen Heyu, in pain and by instinct, opened her mouth, and he got his way.
His kisses were wild and rough, with an air of venting and punishment. Shen Heyu almost couldn’t breathe from the intensity of his kissing.
She struggled, but her hands were caught by him, raised high above her head, leaving her with no chance to resist.
It was a long time before he finally let her go.
Shen Heyu was still dazed, nearly asphyxiated; it took her a long time to recover her senses and she said coldly, “This is unreasonable.” Lunatic!
Angry, she turned to leave, not wanting to stay a moment longer, or rather not wanting to see him at all.
She quickly left the place, and on her way out, she saw a nurse hurrying by, seemingly with an urgent matter.
Shen Heyu didn’t pay any attention and left by the elevator.
Pei Yansi did not follow her. He touched his lips, thinking about the kiss just now.
Some of the anger in his heart had dissipated.
He also took the stairwell, instructing his people to keep watch over Bai Sheng’er and didn’t plan on going back; he went straight to his apartment.
Bai Sheng’er was alone in the hospital, but there were bodyguards brought by Pei Yansi outside for her protection. She was furious in her heart, unable to believe that Shen Heyu’s presence had made him walk away.
Even for the whole night, he didn’t reply to any of her messages.
This gave her a sense of crisis.
When she woke up in the morning, she took out her phone wanting to see if Pei Yansi had replied to her texts, but upon opening it, she saw a trending topic on the Big Eyes app.
#GroupPresidentKeepsANewbieOutOfEntertainmentCircle?#
Bai Sheng’er’s heart skipped a beat, that sense of crisis creeping up once more; she quickly clicked to investigate.
Indeed, in the video, Pei Yansi was holding a woman and kissing her wildly.
From the footage, one could see his ferocity, and the woman’s frailty. The woman had her back to the camera, her face unseen, showing only her petite frame tightly held in his arms. To endure his kiss, she arched her neck, creating a beautiful curve.
The comments below the main text were all speculations about the identity of the woman!
Bai Sheng’er recognized at a glance that the person in the video was Shen Heyu!
She had seen her wearing that outfit in the hospital room just now!
Bai Sheng’er thought of something, she captured a screenshot from the video, then went on a shopping app, searched for the same clothes, and bought an identical outfit.
She was going to replace that identity!
