Chapter 226 Her Illness

Shen Heyu couldn't refuse Pei Yansi.

Deep down, she still thought that if she behaved obediently enough these few days, if she acted sweet and docile enough to dispel his suspicions, maybe when the seven-day agreement came due, he would truly let her go.

In the end, she agreed.

She saw visible joy in Pei Yansi's eyes, a beautiful smile curving at the corners of his mouth. Seeing him like this, Shen Heyu subconsciously thought that she probably couldn't escape what he wanted to do tonight.

After all, every time he thought about that matter, he had the same happy yet restrained expression.

What she hadn't expected was that the man tonight was unexpectedly well-behaved. He simply held her as they fell asleep and didn't do anything else to her.

Shen Heyu couldn't sleep in his arms.

It had been a long time since he had treated her so tenderly, even the way he held her was cautious, as if afraid she would shatter.

He'd never been like this before.
