Chapter 611 Don’t

Su Jiujiu leaned against his face, held his arm, and smiled at him gently and charmingly.

"No...don't go! Wen Yan!"

She wanted to catch up, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move. She watched them walk further and further away until they disappeared into the thick darkness.

"No--!"

A shrill scream pierced the silence of the night. Ji Wan suddenly sat up in bed, her pajamas soaked with sweat. Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were filled with lingering fear. "Wan Wan!"

Chi Wenyan, who was beside her, woke up the moment she screamed. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his long arms, pulled her back into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here!" His big hands stroked her back again and again, using his body temperature to warm her cold body.

Ji Wan was trembling all over. She clutched Chi Wenyan's arm tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw, crying incoherently: "She took you away,... You don't want me anymore,... Wenyan,... You don't want me anymore..."

"Nonsense!" Chi Wenyan's heart felt like it was being tugged by an invisible hand, causing him to ache terribly. He held up her tearful face, forcing her to look into his eyes. He spoke clearly and forcefully, word by word, "Look at me, Ji Wan! I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere! I don't want anyone else but you!"

His eyes were as firm as a rock, carrying an unquestionable strength, which gradually dispelled the panic in Ji Wan's eyes.

"I only want you, from beginning to end, only you."

He lowered his head, his hot lips pressed against her tear marks, his voice hoarse but solemn, "I swear, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you again. No one."

Chi Wenyan's oath still echoed in her ears, every word carrying a scorching warmth, branded in her heart. However, the fear in Ji Wan's eyes did not completely dissipate, but settled into an icy chill.

Nightmares are fake, but the woman walking in the world with her face on her face is a real threat.

She could no longer passively hide in Chi Wenyan's arms to seek comfort. She wanted to cut off the poisonous thorn in her heart with her own hands.

"Wen Yan," she stepped back from his embrace, the fragility in her eyes replaced by a resolute determination, "I want to go see her."

Chi Wenyan's brows knitted together instantly, and he subconsciously refused: "No, she is a lunatic now, it's too dangerous."

"It's precisely because she's crazy that I have to go." Ji Wan's attitude was extremely firm. "As long as she keeps that face, I won't have peace. This matter must be resolved by me personally."

Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, Chi Wenyan's heart ached and softened. He understood that this was her inner demon, and if it was not broken, it would always be the source of her midnight terror.

He was silent for a moment, and finally gave in: "Okay. I'll go with you."

"No," Ji Wan shook his head, "You can't go. This is between me and her."

She looked at him with a scorching gaze: "Wen Yan, believe me. I am no longer the Ji Wan who was manipulated by others."

In the end, Chi Wenyan agreed.

He arranged Su Jiujiu in an absolutely private apartment and surrounded her with his bodyguards to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

When Ji Wan pushed open the heavy door and saw the woman sitting on the sofa in the living room, his stomach instantly churned.

That face was the one she saw in the mirror every day. The same eyebrows, eyes, lips, and nose. Even the curve of the lips when smiling was imitated perfectly.

But at this moment, there was a smug and provocative smile on that face.

"Ji Wan, you finally dare to come and see me?" Su Jiujiu stood up and walked towards her slowly with an elegant posture, as if she was the master here.

She was wearing a long dress similar in style to Ji Wan's, and her voice was deliberately imitated to be soft and gentle.

"I thought you would just hide behind Wen Yan and cry."

Ji Wan just looked at her coldly, watching her use her face to say vicious words, the feeling of nausea almost bursting through his throat.

"Wearing someone else's clothes, bearing someone else's face, using someone else's voice, Su Jiujiu, how does it feel to be a fake?" Ji Wan's voice was calm, but like an ice-hardened knife, piercing straight ahead.

Su Jiujiu's smile froze for a moment, then became even more distorted: "Fake? Soon, I will be the real thing. Men are the same even when the lights are off. Wen Yan will soon not be able to tell who is who. By then, everything you have, including the position of the Chi family's young lady, will be mine!"

"Really?" Ji Wan suddenly smiled. The smile was bright, but it was chilling to the bone.

She stepped forward step by step until they were almost face to face.

"You probably don't know," Ji Wan lowered his voice, each word clearly reaching Su Jiujiu's ears, "Chi Wenyan is a mysophobe. He won't allow anyone else to touch anything he's touched. And if someone hasn't touched something, no one else can touch it, even if they try their best."

"You're talking nonsense! That night..." Su Jiujiu's face changed drastically and she retorted sharply.

"That night?" Ji Wan's eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule. "You know best whether he touched you or not. How dare a fake who has never touched a man yell at me?"

"You!" Su Jiujiu's most painful spot was touched. She instantly became furious and raised her hand to hit him.

Ji Wan's eyes flashed, and he was the first to arrive, grabbing her wrist accurately.

“Bang!”

A loud and crisp sound exploded in the silent room.

Ji Wan used all his strength and slapped Su Jiujiu hard on the face.

Su Jiujiu's face was slapped to the side. Five clear fingerprints quickly appeared on her fair cheek, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She was completely stunned and looked at Ji Wan in disbelief.

"This slap is for myself. You make me sick." Ji Wan shook off her hand, his voice cold as ice.

"You dare to hit me?!" Su Jiujiu came back to her senses, covering her burning face with her hands. The venom in her eyes almost turned into reality. "Ji Wan, I will kill you!"

She rushed over like a madman.

Ji Wan just looked at her indifferently and took something out of her handbag.

It was a dagger with a cold gleam.

Su Jiujiu's movements came to an abrupt halt. She looked at the sharp dagger, and the madness in her eyes was finally replaced by fear: "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Ji Wan slowly raised the dagger, pointing the sharp tip at the face that looked exactly like his own. "Don't you like this face? Don't you think that with it, you can get everything?"

Her voice was soft, yet held a chilling cruelty.
