Chapter 11 Aren't you afraid I'll really kill her?
Jiang Cheng was stunned, somewhat surprised that President Pei could still think of his wife at this moment.
That's really rare.
The hospital is not far from the police station, about a 20-minute drive.
Pei Jingchuan strode out, casually adjusting his cuffs and hem, and stepped into the police station.
Pei Jingchuan's innate aura made him stand out immediately. Someone stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are you here to report a crime or to conduct some business?"
Standing tall and imposing in the center of the hall, Pei Jingchuan began, "I'm here to bail Xie Nanzhi out."
He was the one who had the maid call the police yesterday. Xie Nanzhi's reckless and insane actions must be punished.
He also needs to give Xie Xiyan an explanation, and calling the police is the best way to handle it.
Pei Jingchuan thought that Guan Xie Nanzhi would learn a lesson that night, and teach her what she should and shouldn't do.
He can pamper her and indulge her, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed.
To prevent Xie Nanzhi from becoming arrogant and lawless in the future, relying on the child in her womb.
The police officer was puzzled. "The Xie Nanzhi you mentioned was released on bail by Attorney Zhou yesterday. She's no longer with us."
Pei Jingchuan's tone turned serious, "What did you say? She's already been released on bail?"
The police officer was even more certain, "That's right, it was Attorney Zhou who came to bail him out personally."
Xie Nanzhi actually asked Zhou Mubin to help her. No wonder she was so fearless in attacking Xiyan at the Xie family. She must have already made the worst-case scenario plan.
With Zhou Mubin's power, getting Xie Nanzhi released on bail would not be difficult; it was all part of Xie Nanzhi's plan.
This woman!
Pei Jingchuan's brows furrowed tightly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
After a long while, he turned and walked towards the door. The bright sunlight shone on his profile, highlighting his perfect and cold features, but his expression was sinister.
After getting into the car, Pei Jingchuan ordered Jiang Cheng to return to the Cloud Top Villa immediately.
All the way there, Pei Jingchuan kept thinking about how he should give Xie Nanzhi a hard time when they got back.
Since she found out she was pregnant, her personality has changed drastically. Was her previous gentleness just an act for him? Is Xie Nanzhi's true nature as the Xie family said, vicious and ruthless?
Pei Jingchuan took a deep breath, his face turning ashen.
She should be given a good warning, not to go too far, and not to think that having a child gives her a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Pei Jingchuan's brows nearly snapped, and his heart clenched. "Jiang Cheng, hurry up and open it."
Jiang Cheng: "Yes, President Pei."
Pei Jingchuan rushed back to the Cloud Top Villa, and it was already afternoon.
He climbed the stairs to the second floor, gently pushed open the door to the master bedroom, and found Xie Nanzhi sitting quietly on the balcony.
A gentle breeze stirred the pale yellow gauze curtains, making the silhouette on the balcony appear and disappear.
Pei Jingchuan suddenly thought of a saying: "Peaceful times and a stable world."
He didn't love her, but he didn't want to disrupt their current harmonious and peaceful life; this stability was good enough for him.
Xie Nanzhi didn't move when she heard Pei Jingchuan's footsteps.
She was no longer the Xie Nanzhi who could be happy all day just by hearing his smile, and who always looked forward to being with him day and night.
When love burns out, only regret remains.
Pei Jingchuan moved closer and sat down in the wicker chair beside her. "I really underestimated Mrs. Pei."
Bathed in the warm sun, Xie Nanzhi remained expressionless, neither sad nor happy. "President Pei isn't at the hospital with Miss Xie. Did he come here specifically to confront me? What? Does he want to drag me here to apologize? Isn't President Pei afraid I might accidentally kill her?"
Pei Jingchuan's pupils dilated, and he was instantly enraged. "Xie Nanzhi, do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you? Just because you're carrying a child, you think you can act with impunity?"
Xie Nanzhi sat up straight, her gaze cold. "President Pei is overthinking it. I don't have the fortune to gain status through my child."
Pei Jingchuan couldn't understand what was wrong with Xie Nanzhi. She had been perfectly fine for the past three years, but since she became pregnant, she had changed, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
Could it be that they're getting a divorce? Pei Jingchuan immediately dismissed the guess.
Three years of getting along gave Pei Jingchuan the confidence that Xie Nanzhi loved him so much that she could never leave him.
Besides, she's carrying his child; how could she possibly have other thoughts?
He must have acted rashly in the heat of the moment these past two days, which displeased her, and she's just throwing a tantrum.
Pei Jingchuan's gaze fell on her flat stomach. Thinking of Xu Mo's instructions, Pei Jingchuan softened his tone.
He took the initiative to walk up to Xie Nanzhi and ease the tension. "It was my fault. I shouldn't have hit you no matter what. But you shouldn't have hit Xiyan so many times. Nanzhi, I know you don't like her and feel that she stole the Xie family's love for you and stole Shen Xu. But she is the Xie family's biological daughter. It's understandable to love her. Shen Xu's final choice of Xiyan only shows that he doesn't love you enough. None of this has anything to do with Xiyan."
How come I never noticed before that Pei Jingchuan is a master of PUA?
Their ability to lie through their teeth is also top-notch.
Xie Nanzhi's heart was stabbed open, bleeding profusely, and she was numb with pain.
Since that's the case, then none of us should have an easy time.
She looked ahead and said, "I don't hold a grudge against Xie Xiyan, but it's true that I love Shen Xu. Pei Jingchuan, do you know how much I love him? I fell in love with him the moment he saved me when I was eight years old. If it weren't for that car accident three years ago, we wouldn't have separated."
It's true that Pei Jingchuan doesn't love her, but as a man, listening to his wife talk about her feelings for another man would still make him feel uncomfortable.
As expected, Pei Jingchuan's face darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "You still love him?"
Love him?
How could that be?
From the moment Shen Xu and Xie Xiyan got together, she tainted him in her heart.
However, compared to her "dear" husband, Xie Nanzhi now feels that Shen Xu is much cleaner and clearer.
"I guess he doesn't love her anymore."
This ambiguous answer fueled Pei Jingchuan's anger, making his breathing heavy. He suppressed his rage and asked, "Am I not good enough to you?"
Before Xie Nanzhi could react, Pei Jingchuan had already bent down, cupped her face, and kissed her.
His passionate advances were more domineering than ever before. Their lips intertwined, his tongue tracing hers. Pei Jingchuan seemed to want to prove something, but the resistance of the woman in his arms made him uneasy.
Pei Jingchuan, panting heavily, his desire aroused, stared intently into her captivating eyes. "Nanzhi, we haven't done it for days. Come sleep with me for a while, okay?"
Having learned of his disgusting deeds, Xie Nanzhi could never let him touch her again.
Xie Nanzhi's face was pale, a mixture of physical and psychological rejection. "Pei Jingchuan, I don't want to."
The man's brows furrowed even deeper. He gripped the armrests with both hands, lowered his body, and exuded a unique masculine charm. "Still angry, huh?"
Pei Jingchuan stretched out his strong arms and wrapped them around her slender waist, lifting her into the air with a slight effort. "Nanzhi, don't refuse me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't hurt our baby..."
