Chapter 335 Thinking about my wife? You're asking for it!

Xie Nanzhi looked in the direction of the sound, her pupils dilated.

She never imagined she would meet him here.

Shen Xu.

Shen Xu was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with a large luxury brand logo. He walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to her without any hesitation.

Shen Xu smiled faintly, resting one hand on the back of Xie Nanzhi's chair, then looked at the man opposite him, "Is this your current man?"

Xie Nanzhi remained calm and said, "After spending several years in prison, how come you're still so annoying when you get out?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu's smile deepened, and he tapped his fingertips lightly on the back of the chair, making a rhythmic tapping sound, as if he were deliberately tapping Xie Nanzhi.

He tilted his head, his gaze sweeping over Xie Nanzhi's delicate profile. "Hateful? But you loved me so much back then."

These words were meant to disgust Xie Nanzhi, but rather to be said to Wei Chizheng on the other side.

However, Shen Xu underestimated Wei Chizheng.

Xie Nanzhi sneered, "Shen Xu, you're bringing up such old, trivial matters now? Don't you find it ridiculous?"

Shen Xu has been out for a week, using this time to get to know the current state of the port city.

Xie Nanzhi, whom he had previously disregarded, had become the richest woman in the country. She had also married the former heir of the Wei family and had three children.

However, the Shen family went bankrupt, Xie Xiyan died, and even the once arrogant Pei Jingchuan became a prisoner awaiting judgment.

So much has happened in just a few short years.

Shen Xu's hatred for Xie Nanzhi was like a burning flame. "Xie Nanzhi, I was your first love after all. People say that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. We've been together for so long, how can you not feel any affection for us?"

Wei Chi listened intently, fiddling with the knife and fork in his hand.

Suddenly, a cool voice, tinged with restrained anger, spoke, "Mr. Shen, how do you expect Nanzhi to hold onto past affections?"

At that moment, Shen Xu's attention finally turned to him.

He looked Wei Chizheng up and down, his gaze finally settling on the diamond ring on his ring finger. He sneered, "I never expected that you would end up with Xie Nanzhi. I suppose you contributed quite a bit to the Shen family's bankruptcy back then."

Wei Chizheng raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Shen isn't so stupid as to be beyond redemption."

Shen Xu glared angrily, "Wei Chizheng, don't go too far."

Wei Chizheng retorted, "So what if it's excessive?"

Xie Nanzhi abruptly interrupted their conversation, her voice several degrees colder than before, "Shen Xu, now that you're out, behave yourself. The grudges between us are now settled."

As she finished speaking, Xie Nanzhi glanced at Shen Xu, her eyes devoid of any emotion, only displaying a cold indifference that kept people at a distance. "So, please leave now and don't disturb our meal."

Shen Xu showed no intention of getting up. "Even if we're even, Xie Nanzhi, you bankrupted the Shen family and put me in jail. You think you can get away with just saying we're even? You're dreaming."

Xie Nanzhi sneered, staring directly at Shen Xu, and said, word by word, "You are the one who bankrupted your Shen family, and you are also the one who put you in jail. Shen Xu, with your current abilities, you can't touch me. Making an enemy of me would be a very unwise choice. Wouldn't it be better if we all just kept to ourselves and didn't bother each other?"

Looking at Xie Nanzhi's cold and composed expression, Shen Xu felt that her anger had been suppressed by her domineering nature, replaced by a complex mix of emotions.

He remained silent for a moment, then slowly looked at Wei Chizheng opposite him, his eyes filled with disdain.

He pressed his hands on the table, staring intently at Wei Chizheng. "Xie Nanzhi, Wei Chizheng, I will not let this go so easily. I will make you pay the price."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Xu let out a scream, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood wafted over.

Xie Nanzhi didn't even see when the knife and fork that Wei Chizheng had been playing with pierced Shen Xu's hand.

Shen Xu's hand was pinned to the table, a steel fork piercing his palm and embedded in the surface, blood dripping down the wound.

Wei Chizheng remained unfazed, straightening his slightly wrinkled suit. "The premise for us to pay the price is that you have the ability. Shen Xu, if you're a smart man, you should go far away. Of course, if you insist on being stupid, I can't guarantee whether you'll have a chance to get out of there next time."

Shen Xu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and could only glare at them fiercely.

Seeing this, Xie Nanzhi stood up, picked up her bag from the back of the chair, and said to Wei Chizheng, "Let's go to another place."

After saying that, Wei Chi obediently walked to her side and took her hand.

The two then walked straight towards the restaurant entrance without even glancing at Shen Xu.

Shen Xu stood there, watching Xie Nanzhi's resolute back. His intact finger clenched into a fist, the knuckles turning white from the force.

He watched Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chizheng walk out of the restaurant side by side, their figures gradually disappearing around the street corner, his eyes filled with an almost ferocious emotion.

"Xie Nanzhi, I won't let this go."

...

Stepping out of the restaurant, the sweltering heat made Xie Nanzhi feel uncomfortable.

However, compared to these, Xie Nanzhi's attention was entirely focused on Wei Chizheng.

She could clearly feel Wei Chizheng's tense back, his arms tightening slightly to keep her within a safe range, and even his breathing was a little rapid.

She was clearly jealous, but she was trying to act all generous.

Xie Nanzhi found it amusing. As she approached the car, she gently tugged at Wei Chizheng's sleeve, her voice softening, "Wei Chizheng, are you unhappy?"

Wei Chizheng didn't speak, but Xie Nanzhi scoffed and lightly touched the bulging veins on the back of his hand with her fingertips. "Look, the veins are bulging. Don't you know it hurts me?"

Wei Chizheng looked up, his eyes still filled with lingering anger, but when he met Xie Nanzhi's gentle gaze, his tone softened involuntarily, "Wife, I just can't stand those flies buzzing around you. No matter what their intentions are, my intentions are the same."

He paused, his Adam's apple bobbing, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. "I want to kill them."

She knew what kind of person Wei Chizheng was; just now at the restaurant, he had only crippled one of Shen Xu's hands, which was already a great restraint.

She gently held Wei Chizheng's hand, her fingertips lightly stroking his reddened knuckles. "You're really jealous."

Wei Chizheng's expression was still not good.

Xie Nanzhi's eyes suddenly turned serious. "Wei Chizheng, Shen Xu was indeed an experience of mine in the past, but that's all in the past."

She tilted her head, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Wei Chizheng, you're the person beside me now, and you're the person I want to continue this journey with."

Xie Nanzhi knew that Wei Chizheng was somewhat insecure, and that unease had lasted for so many years that he would get anxious at the slightest disturbance.

Xie Nanzhi gently shook his hand, "Besides, we're married now. I'm Mrs. Wei now. Who would dare to covet Mr. Wei's wife? That would be courting death!"
