Chapter 312: Go to sleep, baby
"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi let go of her slightly, kissed her on the cheek twice, and then asked patiently and gently, "Why can't you sleep? Are you feeling unwell or is there something on your mind?"
"I have something on my mind." Xie Zhaoyuan said honestly.
Pei Xingzhi stretched out a hand and gently held her cheek: "Tell me about it."
Xie Zhaoyuan turned and looked at him: "I told you, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry." Pei Xingzhi smiled, and the look he gave Xie Zhaoyuan was so gentle that it seemed to melt.
"As long as you stay by my side, I won't be angry no matter how you act up. I just want you in front of me, as long as you are happy, nothing else matters."
Xie Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows: "Then I will say it?"
"Don't worry." Pei Xingzhi scratched her nose and touched the small mole on the tip of her nose with his fingertips. "Just say whatever you think. Your husband will never be angry with you."
"...Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan organized his words in his mind and said in a dull tone: "I'm still thinking about Qin Wushuang's death."
"I know." Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her. There was no complaint in his words, only understanding and heartache. "Ayuan never thought that he would die, and he never thought that he would die so... suddenly and tragically."
"...Yes." Xie Zhaoyuan sighed softly, "I never thought that he would choose such an end for himself."
"Actually, I haven't thought about it." Pei Xingzhi's eyes were a little dazed. "I thought that a shameless, cunning and treacherous person like him would rather live a lifetime than think about dying."
"But I didn't expect that he had already thought of a way to die. Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed by the secret for too long, and he no longer wanted to bear it."
"...He deserves it." Although Xie Zhaoyuan has not yet accepted his suicide, he feels that this is the fate he deserves.
"He did something like this, even if he died five more times, he couldn't atone for his sins."
"I know." Pei Xingzhi said again, "I understand what Ayuan means. Ayuan is not pitying him, but he just hasn't realized that he is already dead."
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan nodded, "I just didn't react, and I didn't fully accept it. Because in my heart, Qin Wushuang is a bastard who absolutely doesn't want to die."
"Yes, he is a bastard." Pei Xingzhi smiled and turned her face to face him. "But now that the bastard is dead, let's not think about him anymore, okay?"
The words were said gently, but Xie Zhaoyuan heard a hint of sarcasm in them: "Didn't you say you wouldn't be angry? Why do you speak in this tone now?"
"Humph," Pei Xingzhi laughed coldly and said frankly, "I only promised that I wouldn't get angry, but I didn't promise that I wouldn't get jealous."
"Hmm?" Xie Zhaoyuan was unable to refute.
Pei Xingzhi rubbed her face, but it was not as soft as before.
"Ayuan, have you not been eating well recently? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: "I eat well, three meals a day basically on time, and try to eat enough. But I don't know why, I just lost weight."
"Maybe it's because I'm worrying too much and missing someone too much."
"Silly girl." Pei Xingzhi looked at her with pity, then lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips. After the kiss, he let her go.
But in fact, he still wanted to continue kissing, but considering that Xie Zhaoyuan's body and mood had not recovered yet, he did not dare to do anything too extreme.
"Pei Xingzhi, let's talk about yourself." Xie Zhaoyuan turned over and shoved himself firmly into Pei Xingzhi's arms. "What have you been busy with recently? I heard from Qin Wushuang that you have already had sex with Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi?"
"Yeah!" Pei Xingzhi couldn't help but look proud when talking about this matter. "I followed our plan and released all the evidence step by step. Now Lu Yibai has been targeted by the inspection team. The stock price of Lu Group has been plummeting, and the market value is also evaporating."
"I roughly calculated that as of today, the market value of Lu's Group has evaporated by nearly 50 billion! If this continues, his company will be declared bankrupt."
"Beautiful!" Xie Zhaoyuan's eyes widened with excitement, and he couldn't help but give Pei Xingzhi a thumbs up. "So what are you going to do next?"
Pei Xingzhi held her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it again and again: "He already knew about Fang Bo's hand over to me. He couldn't bear such pressure, so he came directly to me and wanted to make a deal with me."
"Trade?" Xie Zhaoyuan narrowed his eyes. "What does he want to exchange Fang Bo for you?"
Pei Xingzhi: "He gave me the decision-making power and said that as long as I asked him to do it, he would do it if he could. He showed great sincerity."
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Then how did you reply to him?"
Pei Xingzhi took off his glasses and put them casually beside the pillow, letting the world blur in his eyes, leaving only a clear image of Xie Zhaoyuan.
"Of course I agreed to his request! He was so sincere, how could I refuse him?"
"Humph..." Xie Zhaoyuan was amused by his affectation, "Then how did you agree to it?"
Pei Xingzhi: "I told him that the conditions he offered really tempted me, and I would seriously consider it and give him an answer. He was coaxed by me and has been waiting for my call on his phone these days."
"He is waiting for your call, then who are you waiting for?" Xie Zhaoyuan asked knowingly.
Pei Xingzhi responded in a cooperative manner: "I'm waiting for you. When you come back, we will give Lu Yibai a big gift together."
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "What about Qin Sisi? How did you deal with her?"
Pei Xingzhi: "I first asked Ji Mingxuan to give her a notice of prosecution, and then asked Lu Yibai's assistant to tell her that Fang Bo was still alive. She was scared and she should want to run away now."
"Run?" Xie Zhaoyuan's expression changed instantly. "Where does she want to run to?"
Pei Xingzhi touched her face soothingly: "No matter where she wants to run, she can't run away. Qin Wushuang is dead, and the Qin Group is in chaos. Qin Feihong is in no mood to care about her now, and she definitely doesn't dare to tell Qin Feihong about Fang Bo's affairs."
"So even if she wanted to run, she could only run away secretly by herself. She is not a calm person. She definitely couldn't think of any good way to escape in this situation."
"Ah..." Xie Zhaoyuan understood, "So it's a dying struggle. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"Of course she is nothing to be afraid of." Pei Xingzhi pulled the quilt and wrapped Xie Zhaoyuan tightly. "In front of my wife's extreme intelligence, all her struggles are in vain."
"Go to sleep, baby. Your husband is by your side."
