Chapter 15 Pei Jingchuan, never to be seen again!
Xie Xiyan was stunned, her mind a little blank.
What does it mean when the game is over?
Mosel wasn't one to drag things out; he turned to leave.
Xie Xiyan hurriedly caught up, forcing a smile, "Mr. Mosil, what do you mean by this? What game?"
Mosel put on his hat, stroked his beard, and said in a serious tone, "Well, since you're so naive, I'll tell you the truth. Just a couple of days ago, my last disciple finally acknowledged me as her master. She asked me to come here for a free meal today, so here I am."
What?
Xie Xiyan even wondered if she had misheard.
Mosier is a great artist in the art world, with his artistic achievements being second to none in the field. Three years ago, Mosier, who had not taken on any apprentices for more than a decade, suddenly announced that he would be taking on a final disciple, but three years have passed and no one has been chosen yet.
Xie Xiyan thought that no one Mosier could possibly want, and she thought she was sure to get the position. Even before she answered the phone, she thought that she was the only one who could be the last disciple.
Xie Xiyan couldn't accept this outcome. "You asked to meet me just to play me? You never intended to take me as your disciple?"
Mosel's attitude was notoriously eccentric in the industry. Seeing Xie Xiyan's bad attitude, his attitude also turned cold. "Heh, do you think I accept just any Tom, Dick, or Harry? Miss Xie, I'm not trying to be mean, but your artistic skills are not even as good as one of my little apprentice's toes. If my little apprentice hadn't asked me to come see you, do you think I would have come willingly?"
Xie Xiyan was furious. Seeing this, Pei Jingchuan naturally stepped forward and blocked Mosier's path. "Mr. Mosier, as long as you take Xiyan as your apprentice, I am willing to give you 100 million as support for your future art exhibitions."
Mosel looked at Pei Jingchuan, listened for a while, and then laughed, "Oh, Mr. Pei, I do value talent, but not the kind of wealth you're talking about. Even if you gave me a hundred million, or even all your assets, I still wouldn't be interested."
Mosel, haughty and arrogant, looked Pei Jingchuan up and down, shaking his head repeatedly.
He muttered to himself, "Tsk tsk tsk, not good enough, not even a single hair on his head."
Mosier curled his lip in disgust and turned away.
As soon as Mosel left, Xie Xiyan broke down, crying out, "Jingchuan, what should I do? Please help me think of a way! I really want to become Mosel's apprentice. This is my only wish, and you promised you would help me fulfill it."
Pei Jingchuan also felt it was a bit tricky. Before answering the phone, he thought it was a done deal, and he never expected such a change to happen.
Pei Jingchuan couldn't bear to see Xie Xiyan sad, so he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. "I will never break my promise to you, Xiyan. I will make you get what you want, no matter what the cost."
Xie Xiyan held her head high, her watery eyes evoking pity in people.
She threw herself into Pei Jingchuan's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her face against his chest. "Jingchuan, you're the only one in this world who's truly good to me. If I hadn't married Shen Xu, would we be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Jingchuan interrupted her, "Xi Yan, there are no 'what ifs.' I married Xie Nanzhi, and I will be responsible for her for the rest of my life. Besides, she is carrying my child."
This was a child he had finally had after so much hardship. Pei Jingchuan cherished Xie Xiyan, but he also had high hopes for this child from the bottom of his heart.
He was going to be a father in the near future, and the thought of it softened Pei Jingchuan's heart.
However, this was not the scene Xie Xiyan wanted to see.
In her heart, Pei Jingchuan could only ever be a dog she could boss around for the rest of his life. How could this dog possibly develop its own independent consciousness?
Xie Xiyan would never allow such a thing to happen. All the attention and favor from everyone should belong to her alone.
Her eyes were filled with malice, all because of that little bastard in Xie Nanzhi's belly, he deserved to die.
A moment later, Xie Xiyan pressed her temples, her face contorted in pain, and leaned softly against Pei Jingchuan's chest. "I thought I would become Mosier's apprentice today, and I originally planned to give myself this good news as a gift, but... Jingchuan, I'm so sad, so sad that I'm going crazy."
Pei Jingchuan felt sorry for her and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.
Xie Xiyan, emboldened by the alcohol, kissed him on the lips. Pei Jingchuan was caught off guard and his body stiffened abruptly.
Perhaps he was drunk too, because in the end he couldn't bring himself to push her away.
Their lips met, their breaths quickened, and Xie Xiyan wrapped her arms around his neck, her watery eyes alluring, "Jingchuan, how much do you love me?"
Pei Jingchuan's breathing was heavy as he spoke his heart, "For you, I'm willing to give up my life."
He had been clear about his feelings for Xie Xiyan since they were at the orphanage, but why did another face flash through Pei Jingchuan's mind when he said those words?
Clubhouse.
After Xie Nanzhi arrived at the private room, she asked the people Pei Jingchuan had invited to celebrate her birthday to leave.
Because she knew that Pei Jingchuan wouldn't show up tonight.
The large private room now felt empty, with Xie Nanzhi all alone.
She sat quietly in the corner, as if she had become one with the night.
As time passed, Xie Nanzhi's ashen face gradually lost all traces of emotion.
Compared to Xie Xiyan, she was merely an insignificant NPC. And this marriage, from beginning to end, was a one-woman show for her.
Xie Nanzhi didn't leave simply because she wanted to see this farcical marriage through to the end, to give it an imperfect conclusion.
After a long while, as she heard the clock strike twelve downstairs, she smiled slightly.
Pale and powerless.
Xie Nanzhi's lips curled up, her voice filled with a sense of suppressed sorrow and vicissitude. It turns out that a person really can wither away overnight.
She said to herself, "Xie Nanzhi, happy birthday."
Three-year marriage, now over!
It's over for us too!
Pei Jingchuan, goodbye forever!
A bitter taste spread through her heart. Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips, picked up her feet, and left.
In the dead of night, all was quiet.
Xie Nanzhi walked out of the clubhouse and strolled along the riverbank. The cold wind could dissipate her body heat, but it could not dispel the mist in her eyes.
She walked aimlessly forward, and just then, brilliant fireworks lit up the opposite bank of the river, and she heard passersby talking about it.
"Oh my god, blue fireworks! Whose domineering CEO is proposing to me?"
"Sister, someone's live streaming from the other side of the strait. I saw the female lead, she's so beautiful! Who's that rich girl? I'm so envious!"
"I don't know who it is, but the comments say it looks like it's the female lead's birthday. My god, these aren't just fireworks, they're overflowing with love."
"Oh my god, they're hugging and kissing! They're such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
Xie Nanzhi stood to the side, listening to the sounds of fireworks, a gentle smile on her face.
Isn't it wonderful?
Such love is indeed enviable.
Just as Xie Nanzhi was about to go back, her phone rang.
It was the special ringtone she set for Pei Jingchuan.
Xie Nanzhi answered the phone, and her lips tightened the moment she heard the voice.
"Xie Nanzhi, did you see the blue fireworks? Jingchuan is celebrating my birthday. It's not far from the club, I know you can hear it."
"By the way, Jingchuan won't be going back tonight. He'll definitely be keeping me company through the long night, so you'll just enjoy it all by yourself."
Blue fireworks illuminated the riverbank, and Xie Nanzhi's hands trembled slightly as she listened to the gasps of amazement around her, her nails digging into her flesh.
She looked across the river, her face pale and almost translucent, but her tone was extremely calm, "If you like it so much, then I'll give it to you."
Xie Xiyan was stunned. "What...what do you mean?"
Xie Nanzhi's gaze was deep and unfathomable. "Xie Xiyan, I'm giving Pei Jingchuan to you for free. Please accept this."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Nanzhi dialed another number, "Old Zhou, give me a ride later, I'm going to the airport."
