After Cui Ziqi left, Xia Wan flipped through the original novel.
I roughly guessed that the "old thing" in the Cui family that Cui Ziqi was talking about was his aunt, Cui Nan.
In the original novel, Cui Nan was the only person in the Cui family who was kind to Cui Ziqi.
She would protect Cui Ziqi and repeatedly persuade Cui Jiyang to treat Cui Ziqi better...
It can be said that all the kindness Cui Ziqi received in the Cui family came from Cui Nan.
But for some reason, in the original story, when Cui Ziqi went mad and took revenge on the Cui family, he didn't spare Cui Nan either.
This suggests there might be some hidden story behind it.
Curiosity drove her to get out of bed and press her ear against the door to listen to what was happening outside.
Unfortunately, the bedroom door was too soundproof; she could only vaguely hear low voices outside, but not clearly.
She had no choice but to sneak open a crack in the door, trying to hear the conversation outside.
But Cui Ziqi was as clever as a dog; she opened the door just a tiny crack, and his gaze immediately fell upon her.
She hates it.
I hate that the bedroom door faces the living room.
Under the varied gazes of the three men, she could only awkwardly open the bedroom door and greet them casually.
Cui Ziqi's face darkened the moment Xia Wan appeared at the door. He threatened coldly and defiantly, "Tell me, what kind of death do you want?"
Dare not rest? Dare to throw off the covers and get out of bed?
Have they forgotten their status as patients?
He was very unhappy.
Xia Wan was speechless.
The first time he met Cui Ziqi, he was holding a gun and asked her how she wanted to die.
The difference is that there is no murderous intent in his eyes now.
Cui Nan was surprised that Xia Wan and Cui Ziqi were sleeping in the same room when she suddenly heard her nephew's words, and her head was buzzing.
Does anyone talk to their girlfriend like that?
She was about to give him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, the girl at the bedroom door let out a coquettish "Oh dear!" and walked a few steps to Cui Ziqi.
She grabbed Cui Ziqi's hand, which was resting on the armrest, and shook it, saying, "I really don't want to sleep anymore. You can't force me to sleep."
"Cough cough..."
Zuo Cheng, who was standing nearby, choked on his own saliva and coughed incessantly.
What sleep? What inappropriate words? There are outsiders here!
Xia Wan turned her head and saw Zuo Cheng's face flushed red from suppressing a cough, then turned her head to see the woman on the sofa looking at her with a mocking expression.
Several black lines flashed before her eyes.
“I meant real sleep. He said injured people need more rest.”
Zuo Cheng then realized he had misunderstood.
He chuckled awkwardly, "I...I'll go get some water."
He turned and went to the kitchen, fleeing this place of trouble.
Cui Ziqi remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on Xia Wan's hand that was holding his, lost in thought.
Cui Nan, on the other hand, was still smiling as he looked at Xia Wan.
"Good morning! I'm Cui Nan, Ziqi's aunt. Just call me aunt, like Ziqi does."
"aunt!"
Xia Wan didn't hesitate and called out directly.
Cui Nan was very happy and reached out to Xia Wan, "Come to your auntie, let me take a good look at you."
Xia Wan looked down at Cui Ziqi with a smug raise of her eyebrows, let go of his hand, and sat down next to Cui Nan.
Cui Nan held her hand, looked at her carefully, and praised her wholeheartedly with a smile:
"You're so beautiful! What's your name? How long have you known Ziqi? How did you two get together?"
"What's it to you?"
Before Xia Wan could speak, Cui Ziqi, standing next to her, retorted coldly.
Xia Wan winked at him, "This is none of your business, don't say anything."
Cui Ziqi looked furious, and Cui Nan thought he was about to explode.
Unexpectedly, he just snorted coldly, crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa, sulking like a child and refusing to look at Xia Wan.
Surprised, he looked at Xia Wan with a more thoughtful expression.
Xia Wan turned to Cui Nan and said, "Auntie, my name is Xia Wan. He has a terrible temper, so just ignore him."
Cui Ziqi, standing to the side with a cold expression: ...
He's not dead yet! He can hear me with both ears!
Cui Nan smiled and glanced at Cui Ziqi, who dared not speak out against her anger.
He clicked his tongue twice. "Now I believe Ying'er's words. Ziqi cares a lot about a little girl."
Xia Wan just smiled and didn't answer her question.
"Auntie, you're visiting so early. Have you eaten yet? You didn't even tell us beforehand. We haven't even started preparing."
"I've already eaten, no need to trouble yourself." This girl is much more polite than Ziqi.
Seeing the white bandage on her forehead, she asked, "How did you hurt your head?"
"Hey, it's nothing. It was just that Cui Ziqi's heartless brother and sister hired people to beat him up."
"..."
A casual question led the conversation astray.
Cui Nan paused in his movement to examine her wound, looking at her with slight embarrassment.
"Are you sure it was Xu Ze and Ying'er who hired them?"
But Cui Xuzhe was just taught a lesson by Cui Ziqi yesterday, and even Cui Jiyang couldn't get any benefits from him. How could he make a move against Xia Wan so quickly?
Xia Wan nodded very firmly.
“Yesterday, Ziqi told his dad that if I get even the slightest injury, he will blame it on Cui Xuzhe and Cui Ying. I’m not wrong to say that.”
Her sweet voice was very sincere.
Cui Ziqi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
The little rascal is quite adept at learning and applying what he learns immediately.
Cui Nan, who originally wanted to get closer to Xia Wan, felt her heart sink when she heard Xia Wan's words.
His expression also softened. "So, you mean you were there yesterday in the warehouse when Ziqi splashed gasoline on Xu Ze?"
Xia Wan shook her head. "To be precise, I was the one who poured that can of gasoline."
