Chapter 7 I want to torture her severely
"I just heard from the emergency room that the Xie family's precious daughter is injured. Is that true?"
"Really, I just came from there. The Xie family is really something else. Miss Xie only suffered a minor injury, but the whole family came out of their way. I heard that Mr. Xie was negotiating a project worth hundreds of billions, but when he learned that his daughter was injured, he put down his business and rushed to the hospital. And Miss Xie's husband was busy running around, calling all the experts in the city to come and consult on Miss Xie's case overnight. He really loves Miss Xie to death."
"Sigh, it's true that people with the surname Xie have different fates. Our OB-GYN just admitted a patient with the surname Xie. She just had an abortion and there's no one with her. Her husband is nowhere to be seen either. She looks so pitiful."
"That's really pitiful. Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go."
...
Xie Nanzhi listened to the sound of dripping water, which sounded particularly jarring in the lonely night.
She bit her lower lip hard, afraid she would burst into tears.
Shen Xu didn't attend the Xie family banquet tonight; I heard he was away on a business trip. If I'm not mistaken, the "husband" the nurse mentioned should be Pei Jingchuan.
He truly loved Xie Xiyan to the extreme.
The more she learned how much Pei Jingchuan loved Xie Xiyan, the more she felt it was a mockery of her past belief in a happy marriage.
Three years of devoted care and heartfelt devotion. To cater to his preferences, she, who was allergic to flour, worked her way up until she developed an immunity. Worried that he might feel unwell after drinking alcohol at social events, she specially researched a hangover remedy tailored to his constitution. Since he was picky about coffee, she searched the world for his favorite flavor. Because of his sensitive stomach, she meticulously planned and prepared the daily menu for their family…
Ultimately, all of this was worthless in Pei Jingchuan's eyes.
Since that's the case, she'll grant their wish.
This will also prevent us from having to sneak around all day, unable to see the light of day.
After being observed in the hospital overnight, Xie Nanzhi was still very weak when she was discharged early in the morning. Coupled with her eye problems, she had to be extra careful with every step she took.
After finally reaching the bottom of the building, she stood by the roadside and kept waving.
It was probably rush hour, and there were very few empty taxis. Xie Nanzhi waited for fifteen minutes but still couldn't get one.
With her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, Xie Nanzhi was about to give up when a car stopped in front of her.
Then, the car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face.
The man's voice was deep and sexy, his gaze unfathomable. "Madam, where to?"
Xie Nanzhi was overjoyed; she had finally waited for an empty car.
She groped her way forward, bent down and peered out the window, "Cloud Top Villa."
Then they heard the man get out of the car. As he opened the door, he draped his clothes over Xie Nanzhi's shoulders.
Her instinctive reaction was to decline, but the man's attitude left no room for argument: "You just came from the hospital, so I suppose you don't want to go back to the hospital because of a cold."
It got colder last night, and it's definitely chilly this morning. I was already shivering as I stood by the roadside.
Xie Nanzhi accepted the man's kindness and said softly, "Thank you, Master."
Xie Nanzhi got into the car smoothly, and the warm interior quickly warmed her frozen body.
Looking in the rearview mirror, the man saw that her delicate skin had an unhealthy pallor, and her lips were ashen. A sinister glint flashed in his deep eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly without him noticing.
Xie Nanzhi naturally couldn't see the man's unrestrained and bold gaze; she only felt that she had met a good person.
She never imagined that one day the warmth she received would not come from her family or her husband, but from a stranger.
The journey was smooth. Xie Nanzhi paid the fare before getting out of the car, saying, "Keep the change."
The man stared intently at Xie Nanzhi. His indifferent face seemed calm, but a hint of suppressed sadness could still be seen.
A few seconds later, the man took the money from Xie Nanzhi's hand and said, "Thank you."
Xie Nanzhi did not linger and left in a hurry.
Watching Xie Nanzhi enter the gate, the man took out his phone and coldly ordered, "Cancel tonight's flight. I'll be staying in Hong Kong for the time being..."
"Yes, Second Master."
Having just undergone an abortion and having barely slept the previous night, Xie Nanzhi looked exhausted.
Just then, one of the private investigators Xie Nanzhi had contacted earlier replied, agreeing to take the case, but at a very high price. Just as they said, the person she was investigating was the wealthy and powerful Pei Jingchuan; a slight misstep could cost her her life.
Xie Nanzhi readily agreed. Money was not an issue; the key was that he was the only detective agency willing to take the job so far.
The car accident three years ago, and the medical malpractice involving collusion with the hospital—Pei Jingchuan and Xie Xiyan are determined to give her an explanation for each and every one of these incidents.
Afterwards, Xie Nanzhi paid the first installment and went to the bedroom to get clean clothes, only to find that she was still wearing the coat that the driver had kindly lent her earlier.
I got off the bus in such a hurry and I was so distracted that I forgot to return it.
Xie Nanzhi thought that if the driver remembered, he would probably come back to look for it. She draped her coat over the foot of the bed and went into the bathroom.
After a quick cleaning, Xie Nanzhi lay down.
She was really too tired and exhausted.
About an hour later, Pei Jingchuan returned with the sound of the car engine being turned off.
He didn't get a chance to sleep last night while taking care of Xie Xiyan at the hospital, and his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. After sending Xie Xiyan back to the Xie family, Pei Jingchuan rushed back.
Xie Nanzhi did this in front of so many people, she should give Xiyan an explanation.
As Pei Jingchuan entered, the servants hurriedly came forward to fetch him slippers and take his coat.
"Where is your wife?"
The aunt didn't think much of it. "Madam just got back not long ago. She seems to have fallen asleep. Pregnant women are like that; they're always sleepy."
Pei Jingchuan frowned. "Did Madam just get back?"
The aunt was stunned for a long time. Didn't the gentleman know?
Last night, the Xie family held a family dinner. The wife and husband did not return. She assumed that they were staying at the Xie family's house together, but just came back separately.
But judging from the man's tone, things didn't look good.
The aunt dared not hide it and nodded.
Suddenly, she could clearly feel that the temperature around Pei Jingchuan was about to drop to freezing point.
Then, Pei Jingchuan strode upstairs.
Pei Jingchuan arrived on the second floor and pushed open the bedroom door.
It was broad daylight, and the curtains were drawn.
He could vaguely see the woman on the bed in the dimly lit room. He casually pulled back the curtains, and the whole room instantly brightened up.
The woman lying on the bed seemed dissatisfied in her dream, her brows furrowed and unable to smooth them over for a long time.
Pei Jingchuan stood by the bed, looking at his wife of three years. She was wearing a pure white silk nightgown, and her long, black hair was loosely covering half of her small face.
He could see a patch of snow-white skin revealed by her slightly open neckline, and he knew all too well how beautiful the view below was.
It must be admitted that Xie Nanzhi has a good figure.
Although he didn't love her, he really liked this body.
Pei Jingchuan still remembers that on their wedding night, he touched Xie Xiyan with the intention of punishing her on her behalf. He wanted to take revenge on her and torture her severely.
Pei Jingchuan was stunned.
Is this her first time?
I don't know why I softened at the time, and then I couldn't stop myself!
He slowly sat down, and couldn't help but touch her eyebrows and eyes. "As long as you don't provoke Xi Yan, you will be Mrs. Pei for life."
Finally, Pei Jingchuan decided to wait until she woke up before saying anything more.
Just as he turned to leave, he paused.
Pei Jingchuan saw a jarring sight at the foot of the bed: an outer garment draped there.
A men's coat.
