Chapter 178 Your husband is here, he's come looking for death.
Is it his fault?
She wanted to kill him.
Xie Nanzhi clenched her fists, which were covered in a layer of sweat. "What do you think?"
Pei Jingchuan knew what was going on, but he was unwilling to admit it, and even less willing to take the blame upon himself.
Pei Jingchuan was using reverse manipulation, putting his arm around Xie Nanzhi's shoulder and pulling her into his arms. "Anesthesia always carries risks. Even surgery requires you to sign a liability waiver. Your health has always been poor, so I didn't expect these side effects. But Nanzhi, you really don't need to worry. Even if you can't see, can't paint anymore, and have no ability to survive, you still have me. I will never abandon you."
Pei Jingchuan kissed his hair like a pervert, squinting his eyes as he said, "In this world, only I will never leave you. No one can love you like I do."
Xie Nanzhi was disgusted to the extreme. Every second of her feigned friendship with Pei Jingchuan felt like an eternity. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and would give up her will to live.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Nanzhi said softly, "Yes, no one in this world loves me more than you. Why did it take me so long to realize this?"
Pei Jingchuan opened his eyes, his pupils filled with surprise.
He loved how well-behaved she was, just like before, trusting him wholeheartedly.
Sure enough, breaking her wings was the most effective solution.
If he had known this would happen, he should have done it earlier.
Pei Jingchuan coaxed her, "Shall we eat? You're too thin, you should eat more."
Xie Nanzhi nodded, and Pei Jingchuan smiled.
She ate half a bowl of rice, but it tasted bland to her.
The expectation I once had has come true, but because I missed that time, it has lost its meaning.
However, Xie Nanzhi's compliance today improved Pei Jingchuan's mood considerably, so much so that when she asked to have her shackles removed, he agreed without hesitation.
Although she couldn't move freely, at least her legs were freed.
Unable to see, Xie Nanzhi's world once again turned into darkness, but at the same time, her senses became unusually sharp.
Pei Jingchuan would come to see her from time to time to talk to her and pass the time.
In the blink of an eye, the sun set in the west, and the birdsong in the forest subsided. After changing his clothes, Pei Jingchuan lay down beside her, just like before, like a loving couple.
The large hand stroked her lower abdomen, bringing not warmth, but chill.
Then she heard, "Nanzhi, shall we have another child? Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll love any child that's between you and me. We'll raise him to adulthood and raise him as the heir of the Wei family. Once the Wei family is handed over to him, I'll be responsible for staying with you, watching the stars, the moon, the changing of the sun and moon, and the ebb and flow of the tides."
Listening to Pei Jingchuan's words, Xie Nanzhi could almost feel the stinging pain of lying on the operating table, as the cold instruments ripped a life from her body.
Her face paled a shade lower, and her lower abdomen throbbed with pain. "Pei Jingchuan, we could have had a lovely child."
That child was Xie Nanzhi's pain, and also Pei Jingchuan's regret.
His later ruthless pursuit of Xie Xiyan was likely partly due to this child.
That was a child he had finally gotten, a gift from heaven. If it weren't for Xie Xiyan, how could it have happened...?
Thinking of this, a fierce glint appeared in Pei Jingchuan's eyes.
It's too good for her to die like this.
"You know what? I've even thought of a name for him: Tianci (Heaven-Sent). It might sound a bit old-fashioned, but he's a treasure that God has given us, but..."
Unable to continue, Xie Nanzhi's voice choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Pei Jingchuan's heart was broken, and he was in unbearable pain. His heart was being torn apart. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to the child, Nanzhi, I'm the one who's sorry to you."
Do you feel guilty?
Is it painful?
Xie Nanzhi wanted to amplify these emotions in him.
Her voice hoarse from crying, Xie Nanzhi continued, "Pei Jingchuan, do you know what I went through to have this child? I've taken the bitterest medicine in the world and endured the most needle pricks. For a while, I lost my sense of taste because of the medication, and the needles made my stomach swollen. Xibei even said that there wasn't a single patch of good skin on my stomach, and there was nowhere to insert the needles. But in order to have a child that belongs to us, I was willing to endure any hardship and suffer any pain. But what was the result? I'm nothing but a joke."
The problem of infertility lies with Pei Jingchuan, but Xie Nanzhi is the one suffering, so he naturally feels bad about it.
Pei Jingchuan was indeed even more remorseful. "Nanzhi, I will make it up to you. Trust me."
Judging from his voice, he sounded like he was about to cry.
Pressing her advantage, Xie Nanzhi said directly, "Pei Jingchuan, I don't want to become blind. I don't want to live in darkness forever. I don't want to not even know what our children will look like in the future."
Given her selfish and self-serving nature towards Pei Jingchuan, even if her eyes had a chance to heal, Pei Jingchuan was unwilling to let her regain her sight.
Because only in this way can she be better controlled, and no one will have any ulterior motives towards a blind person.
Pei Jingchuan paused, seemingly pondering Xie Nanzhi's words.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Only after Pei Jingchuan said "Come in" did the man dare to push the door open and enter.
The man walked over quickly, leaned close to Pei Jingchuan's ear and whispered something. Xie Nanzhi's attention was completely drawn when she heard those three words.
Pei Jingchuan's gaze fell on Xie Nanzhi, as if observing her reaction.
Seeing that she didn't show any emotional fluctuation, Pei Jingchuan became more generous and asked, "Want to know what he just told me?"
Xie Nanzhi replied expressionlessly, "Not interested."
She wasn't interested, but he was.
Pei Jingchuan held her in his arms and said affectionately, "Wei Chizheng has woken up, but he's on his way to his death."
Xie Nanzhi couldn't understand what he meant.
What does it mean to be on the road to death?
Full of questions, Xie Nanzhi didn't ask any more. "I want to rest."
Pei Jingchuan became interested and stared into her eyes. "He came to find you, half-dead. My people told me that he has already reached the Southern and Northern Frontiers."
Her palm tightened suddenly, her nails digging into her flesh. The stinging pain kept Xie Nanzhi calm. She asked, "So we're in Southern Xinjiang."
"Indeed, the misty forests of southern Xinjiang."
Xie Nanzhi finally reacted, surprised, "The Misty Forest? The Misty Forest where no one can leave alive?"
Pei Jingchuan twirled a strand of her long hair around his fingertip, his lips curving into an excited smile. "That's right, it's that Misty Forest. However, they're too stupid to get out. We'll be safe and sound. I just don't know if your husband will have the chance to get in, or even leave."
Pei Jingchuan gazed at her skin inch by inch, the scene he had witnessed outside the hotel that night resurfacing in his mind, and his eyes changed color.
Suddenly, Pei Jingchuan rolled over and pinned her down.
