Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 562: Can’t Think Anymore
She nodded and said okay.
Although the policeman was dead, his tragic death made Ji Wan very nervous.
That night, Ji Wan hardly slept a wink.
Chi Wenyan's embrace was hot and his heartbeat was steady, but what was imprinted in her mind was the calmness of his words "He's dead" and the lingering, bloody sense of control over him.
After dawn, Chi Wenyan had already gone to the company.
In the huge villa, only she and the children were left.
Ji Wan looked at his slightly pale face in the mirror and patted his cheeks hard, trying to dispel those dark thoughts.
no.
Can't think about it anymore.
She took a deep breath and walked downstairs.
In the living room, two little guys were having a lot of fun playing with a pile of Lego bricks.
"Mommy. Look, this is the princess castle I built for my sister." When Dabao saw her, he immediately raised a crooked but imaginative work in his hand.
"Wow, Dabao is amazing."
Ji Wan's heart was instantly filled. She walked over, took the two children in her arms, one on each side, and kissed their little faces hard.
Children's world is pure and clean.
She just wants to keep this purity.
Ji Wan stayed with the children the whole morning.
She turned her cell phone to silent mode, completely isolating herself from the outside world, and concentrated on accompanying them in building blocks, reading picture books, and playing hide-and-seek.
The child's laughter was like the most effective healing medicine, finally giving her nerves, which had been tense all night, a moment of relief.
Just as she and the children were rolling around on the carpet, the doorbell rang suddenly.
"Who is it?"
Ji Wan stood up and saw a bright and pretty face through the video doorbell.
It’s Lin Chuxia.
She opened the door and Lin Chuxia came over like a butterfly, carrying bags of gifts in her hands.
"Sister-in-law. I'm here. I missed you so much."
Lin Chuxia's enthusiasm was like a little sun, instantly dispelling the remaining solemnity in the living room.
"Slow down, slow down." Ji Wan smiled and supported her, "Why are you free to come here today?"
"Of course I have to. My brother, who values women over sisters, has hidden you very well. If I don't come, he will forget that he has a sister." Lin Chuxia complained while stuffing the gift into the servant's hand.
"I bought the latest toys for Dabao and Xiaobao, and the latest bag of the season for you. Do you like it?"
She took out a limited edition handbag from an exquisite bag as if presenting a treasure and waved it in front of Ji Wan.
"You spend a lot of money every time you come here." Ji Wan said this, but he felt warm in his heart.
"This is not a big deal. The pocket money my brother gave me is for me to honor my sister-in-law." Lin Chuxia winked and spoke with confidence.
Ji Wan was amused by her and pulled her to sit on the sofa, "Come and sit down, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dessert for you."
"Sister-in-law is the best."
The two children also gathered around and called her "Little Auntie" sweetly.
Lin Chuxia held one in each hand, hugged them and kissed them several times, and the living room was suddenly filled with laughter.
Ji Wan looked at the heartwarming scene in front of him, the smile on his lips deepened, but deep in his eyes, a complex emotion flashed across his face.
"Sister-in-law, have you not had enough rest recently? I see that you look a little pale." Lin Chuxia played with the children for a while, but still keenly noticed that something was wrong with Ji Wan.
Ji Wan's hand holding the juice paused slightly.
"No, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." She changed the subject casually, "What have you been busy with recently? Have you finished filming the new drama?"
"Don't mention it. I'm exhausted, but we finally finished filming." Lin Chuxia collapsed on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's still comfortable here, sister-in-law. My brother is really good. He protects you so well. You don't have to worry about anything."
As she spoke, she suddenly sat up straight, lowered her voice, and leaned close to Ji Wan's ear mysteriously.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard something."
"The police officer who bullied you in that country a while ago met a very miserable end."
Ji Wan's heart sank suddenly.
Lin Chuxia continued in a tone of gloating admiration, "My brother is like this. He usually looks cold, but if anyone dares to touch him, he will definitely make them die an ugly death."
"He is your personal Superman, keeping all dangers out of your sight."
Lin Chuxia spoke with great joy.
The color on Ji Wan's face was fading away little by little.
Her fingers, which were holding the water cup, turned slightly white due to the force, and her fingertips were cold.
Exclusive Superman?
Keep all dangers out of sight?
These words were like a poisoned knife, piercing Ji Wan's heart with precision.
Lin Chuxia was still talking excitedly: "My brother is so awesome, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, a true ceiling for domineering CEOs. Sister-in-law, you really found a treasure."
Ji Wan's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
My throat felt like it was filled with lead, dry and astringent.
Her head was buzzing, and Lin Chuxia's words kept echoing.
"It ended tragically."
"It will definitely make the other party die in an ugly way."
She had always thought that Chi Wenyan was just ruthless in his business methods, but she had never expected that in those corners unknown to her, he used such a bloody and cruel method to remove the so-called "obstacles" for her.
This feeling of being protected not only did not make her feel a bit safe, but instead was like an invisible giant net that enveloped her tightly and suffocated her.
What she saw was not some exclusive superhero.
But he is a strange man hiding in the darkness, with great skills and cold-blooded ruthlessness.
That man is her husband.
He is the father of her child.
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? What's wrong with you?"
Lin Chuxia finally noticed the paleness of her face and pushed her worriedly.
Ji Wan suddenly came back to her senses, the cup in her hand shook, and the cold juice splashed on the back of her hand, making her shiver.
"I...I'm fine."
She forced a smile that was uglier than crying, put down the cup, and her voice trembled unnoticeably.
"Just a little tired."
"Look at you. I told you to get some rest." Lin Chuxia frowned distressedly. "My brother is really something. He only knows how to work and doesn't even spend more time with you."
Ji Wan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the fear and confusion surging in her eyes.
She is feeling a little complicated now.
…
At the same time, in a secret private nursing home on the outskirts of the city.
In the dim room, only a dim wall lamp was on, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Zhao Xiyue stood by the bed, breathing rapidly, her eyes burning with crazy anticipation, staring intently at the person on the bed with a bandaged head.
