Chapter 2 Blatant Provocation
Xie Nanzhi behaved as usual, but Pei Jingchuan was even more considerate towards her, presumably because of the child in her belly.
After all, Pei Jingchuan's body was special; he was born with antibodies against eggs, and he thought he would never have his own child. Now that Xie Nanzhi was pregnant with his child, just as Xu Mo said, it was a blessing from heaven.
Pei Jingchuan didn't love her, but he was determined to have this child. Before the child was born, she, the vessel, couldn't be harmed in any way.
Pei Jingchuan helped her sit down and instructed the nanny, "Madam is pregnant. From now on, you must be extremely careful about everything concerning Madam's clothing, food, housing, and transportation. There must be no mistakes whatsoever."
The aunt nodded hurriedly and began preparing the food needed for the pregnant woman.
Pei Jingchuan leaned down and kissed her forehead, his large hand stroking her flat stomach. "Nanzhi, I never thought I would become a father. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. From now on, you and our child are the most important people in my life. I love you."
Listening to his words, I felt a pang of pain, but also a touch of irony.
She and her child are the most important people to him. Where does that leave his beloved Xie Xiyan?
Pei Jingchuan, since you enjoy acting so much, I'll act one last show with you before I leave.
The next morning, Pei Jingchuan went to the company early.
Following Pei Jingchuan's instructions, the aunt made sure to include nutritious meals in all three meals to ensure that the body did not lack any nutrients.
The aunt placed the bowl in front of her and handed her chopsticks. "Madam, this morning's dish is bird's nest porridge. Directly in front of you is steamed cod with egg, to your left is stir-fried lettuce, and to your right is corn shumai."
Xie Nanzhi put down her chopsticks, looked straight ahead, and said, "Auntie, could you help me post this on WeChat Moments? I want to share the happy news of my pregnancy with everyone."
Auntie, "Of course you can."
Xie Nanzhi smiled slightly and took out the report from yesterday's checkup. "Auntie, please take a picture of the ultrasound report for me and caption it, 'Looking forward to your arrival. For the rest of our lives, through every meal and season, you will be the meaning of my and Dad's lives.'"
The aunt did as she was told and quickly posted on Xie Nanzhi's WeChat Moments: "Madam, the moment I posted it, the husband liked it immediately. It seems that the husband really dotes on you."
Xie Nanzhi smiled faintly and remained silent.
Whether you love someone or not.
No one knows better than her.
After a quick breakfast, Xie Nanzhi went for a walk in the garden.
The yard was full of tulips, their fragrance delightful.
This wasn't her favorite flower, but it was Pei Jingchuan's absolute favorite. Now that she thought about it, Xie Xiyan was the one who loved tulips the most in her memory.
So these flowers were planted solely for Xie Xiyan's enjoyment from beginning to end.
A gust of cold wind blew by, blowing away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, feeling as if a piece of her heart had been torn away.
She gave a self-deprecating laugh and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
After a while, she sat on the swing, picked up her phone, and called her only best friend.
She asked her best friend to help her apply to art schools abroad, and booked a flight abroad in half a month. Most importantly, she asked her friend to help her find a cornea donor.
She only gave herself two weeks to handle everything in the port city.
In the following days, Pei Jingchuan either asked people to prepare a nursery or bought all kinds of toys and baby supplies. He also bought a book called "How to Be a Good Dad".
It's clear he really cares about this child, but I wonder if this child means as much to him as Xie Xiyan.
Xie Nanzhi wasn't idle either; she disposed of all the gifts Pei Jingchuan had given her over the years.
There were birthday gifts, wedding anniversary gifts, Valentine's Day gifts... even the ring that Pei Jingchuan personally put on her finger at their wedding, which she treasured, was sold.
She doesn't want a man who doesn't belong to her.
She doesn't want what doesn't belong to her.
——
That evening, Xie Nanzhi received a call from Xie Xiyan.
Xie Xiyan told her on the phone that Pei Jingchuan had drunk too much and asked her to pick him up.
Logically speaking, it seems ridiculous to ask a blind woman to pick up a drunk man and take him home. Unless Xie Xiyan has something she wants to do.
It seems Xie Xiyan couldn't sit still after seeing her post on WeChat Moments.
"By the Water" is a well-known entertainment club in the port city.
Xie Nanzhi was blind, but she could roughly guess what kind of chaotic scene it was from the sounds. She frowned slightly, as she really disliked this kind of occasion.
Xie Nanzhi was standing at the entrance, about to call Xie Xiyan, when she heard someone calling her.
"You must be Sister Nanzhi. Sister Xiyan asked me to pick you up here."
Then, the woman walked over and familiarly took Xie Nanzhi's wrist. "Sister Xiyan said that the blind person who came in with a cane was Sister Nanzhi. She was right."
You can tell whether a person is friendly or hostile just by listening to them speak.
This woman is clearly Xie Xiyan's dog.
Xie Nanzhi calmed herself down and simply smiled faintly. A woman of this caliber wasn't worth her time and effort to deal with.
The woman led Xie Nanzhi upstairs to a large, upscale private room that could easily accommodate dozens of people.
However, after entering the room, the woman made an excuse to go to the toilet and ran away.
The noisy commotion and the strong smell of tobacco made Xie Nanzhi nauseous, but what bothered her most was the unease brought on by the unfamiliar environment.
Because she is blind, she doesn't even have the confidence to go out.
Yet that woman, despite wearing her glasses, could swagger around the city without restraint, even turning around and mocking her for being blind.
Xie Xiyan, what gives you the right?
Just then, amidst the noise, she heard voices chatting, and she even heard her own name.
"I really don't know what Jingchuan was thinking back then, how could he marry that blind woman who was rejected by the Shen family?"
"Hehe, that's a mystery, nobody knows. If you ask me, Jingchuan and Xiyan are a better match. Look how pleasing to the eye they are together."
"That's right, and Xi Yan is the real daughter of the Xie family. They are a perfect match. How can that fake daughter and the real blind man compare?"
"Hehehe, maybe it's because that little blind man is so good in bed that Jingchuan can't get enough of him. When Jingchuan and the little blind man get divorced, I'll try it out and see just how good he is in bed."
As everyone knows, Xie Xiyan was the real daughter of the Xie family who was switched at birth by the nanny, while Xie Nanzhi was the nanny's biological daughter.
Everyone says that Xie Nanzhi owes Xie Xiyan a debt, including her parents who raised her, her former fiancé with whom she was engaged, and almost forgetting, her husband Pei Jingchuan.
Xie Nanzhi stood still, unable to see or hear anything.
However, the fact that he could say such things so openly at Pei Jingchuan's gathering suggests that they have a good relationship in private.
This also confirms another fact: Pei Jingchuan often brings Xie Xiyan to their gatherings, and this is not the first time they have joked about her, so they know where Pei Jingchuan's bottom line is.
He doesn't care, which is why they dare to act with impunity.
Xie Nanzhi felt a strange chill, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
However, the next second, Xie Nanzhi walked in the direction of the sound, grabbed a glass from the table, and threw the wine directly at the source.
