Chapter 49 Take your flowers and get out.

Slightly tipsy, Zhou Mubin sobered up instantly and looked at Xie Nanzhi in surprise, "Xie Xiyan is amazing! I didn't even have a clue, but she's already found out?"

Xie Nanzhi was also curious. Logically speaking, Zhou Mubin had been in the mixed legal circle for so long, his connections were unmatched by ordinary people, yet Xie Xiyan had taken the lead over him.

She frowned, picked up the glass of red wine in her hand, took a sip, and felt a little depressed.

Seeing this, Zhou Mubin comforted her, "Nanzhi, don't worry, I'll think of another way."

Xie Nanzhi nodded and clinked glasses with him.

At the hospital.

Pei Jingchuan lay in the hospital room, his forehead wrapped in thick gauze, his face dark and frightening.

Xie Xiyan, who had accompanied him, stayed by his side the whole time, but her attempts to please him did not earn her a response from Pei Jingchuan. He remained impatient with her.

Xie Xiyan made up her mind; Pei Jingchuan was her last lifeline, and she was determined to hold on to him tightly.

Xie Xiyan poured him a glass of warm water in a flattering manner and carefully handed it to him, saying, "Jingchuan, have some water."

In a VIP ward, each person has access to several tens of square meters of space.

Pei Jingchuan glanced at Xie Xiyan casually, his brows furrowed. "I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?"

She's not deaf, how could she not hear?

Xie Xiyan smiled slightly. She remembered that Pei Jingchuan loved her smile the most. And today, in order to see him, Xie Xiyan had specially worn the Suzhou embroidery cheongsam that he liked.

Her curvaceous figure was accentuated by the cheongsam, and the high slit of the skirt subtly revealed her fair and straight legs, sparking endless imagination.

“I know you don’t want to see me, but you need someone to take care of you now. As long as you recover, I will leave without you even having to say anything. I will definitely not… I will not get in your way.”

The two grew up together, and Xie Xiyan had him completely under her thumb since they were in the orphanage, and this time would be no exception.

He couldn't stand seeing her looking wronged, so as long as Xie Xiyan grasped this point, Pei Jingchuan would never escape her grasp.

As expected, although Pei Jingchuan's expression was still unpleasant, at least he didn't say those words about kicking her out again.

Xie Xiyan got her wish and seized the opportunity to ask, "Jingchuan, were you hurt by Nanzhi?"

Pei Jingchuan's brows furrowed even more, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

It seems she guessed right.

Only that bitch Xie Nanzhi could injure him and escape unscathed.

What is it about that bitch that makes Pei Jingchuan, who has been fawning over her for over a decade, suddenly fall for her?

Xie Xiyan was driven mad with jealousy, but she couldn't show it on her face. She leaned closer with heartache, sat down on the edge of the bed, and was about to lean in when Pei Jingchuan suddenly dodged away.

Xie Xiyan failed and took a deep breath while gritting her teeth.

Pei Jingchuan's gloomy voice came from beside him, "Chen Xu is asking you for a divorce?"

Xie Xiyan was taken aback, not understanding the purpose of his question. "That's right. From the beginning, Shen Xu didn't love me. Now that Nan Zhi has made a glamorous comeback, Shen Xu no longer wants to be with me."

Pei Jingchuan's gaze was sinister, and even Xie Xiyan felt a chill when he looked at her. "Don't worry, I won't let you get a divorce. I will help you keep your position as Mrs. Shen. You will always be Mrs. Shen."

No, she didn't want to.

Xie Xiyan was eager to explain, "Jingchuan, I regret it. Three years ago, I thought the person I liked was Shen Xu. Now I realize that the person I love has always been by my side. From the very beginning, I have the best love in the world. It's just that I realized it too late."

To prove her feelings, Xie Xiyan disregarded her reserve and threw herself into Pei Jingchuan's arms. "Jingchuan, I love you. I was blinded by my past ignorance. I was wrong. I want to turn back. Please give me a chance."

His tall figure remained motionless, and only his voice, chilling to the bone, could be heard: "Xie Xiyan, I don't love you anymore."

Or rather, he never loved her.

Pei Jingchuan only recently realized something: his feelings for Xie Xiyan were those of childhood sweethearts. The two had grown up together, relying on each other for survival, so he was used to protecting her.

Pei Jingchuan would do his best to fulfill any wish Xie Xiyan had. Since she liked Shen Xu, Pei Jingchuan helped her become Mrs. Shen.

But if the person were Xie Nanzhi, Pei Jingchuan found that he couldn't do it; he couldn't fulfill her wish.

The thought of Xie Nanzhi marrying Shen Xu in the future, the two sleeping neck to neck every night, and her bearing children for Shen Xu almost suffocated Pei Jingchuan.

Thinking about it for even a second longer makes my heart ache terribly.

He would never give Xie Nanzhi up in this life, no, in the next life, the life after that, or for all eternity.

Xie Xiyan froze, unable to believe her ears.

She slowly released her grip, staring blankly at Pei Jingchuan.

Compared to Xie Xiyan's shock, Pei Jingchuan remained expressionless. "Xie Xiyan, just be a good Mrs. Shen. Don't think about anything else."

...

Pei Jingchuan was hit by a bottle by Xie Nanzhi and ended up in the hospital. Zhou Mubin was all prepared to go and get her, but Pei Jingchuan did nothing, leaving him worried for nothing.

To be honest, Xie Nanzhi didn't expect Pei Jingchuan to let it go so easily. Given his vengeful nature, it shouldn't be like that.

However, it's best not to cause her any trouble, so as not to distract her.

Two days after the welcome dinner, Xie Nanzhi began preparing to visit the transportation company she had just acquired.

It's time to put the bidding process on the agenda.

She chose a business suit, a style Xie Nanzhi rarely wore, and she always felt a little awkward wearing it.

After applying exquisite makeup in front of the mirror, Xie Nanzhi chose a suitable bag and walked out of the hotel in ten-centimeter high heels.

Xie Nanzhi was naturally beautiful; she was breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup, let alone when she was carefully dressed up.

As Xie Nanzhi was heading to the hotel parking lot and reaching for the car door, a figure suddenly darted out from behind her.

"Nanzhi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Xu held a bouquet of fiery red roses in his hands, his bright smile facing the sun, which made him look a little red, and he looked rather comical.

Xie Nanzhi frowned, her good mood ruined by Shen Xu. "Shen Xu, if you're going to act up, please go somewhere else. Don't ruin my mood."

Xie Nanzhi reached for the car door, but Shen Xu slammed it shut and blocked her with his body. "Nanzhi, do you remember our first date? I gave you a bouquet of red roses like these. I will never forget your charming appearance back then. That smile has healed me for a lifetime."

Xie Nanzhi remembers that Shen Xu was still a bit naive back then, and he would even blush when he gave her flowers.

Xie Nanzhi once thought they would spend their lives together, but Shen Xu ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and was blinded by all the allure, leading them down the same path.

She might feel some emotion, but after so many years and so many things she's been through, Xie Nanzhi's heart is no longer troubled.

"Take your flowers and get out."
