Chapter 48 I love you, but you want me dead.
Pei Jingchuan remained silent, but his arms tightened around her.
Not having achieved her goal, Xie Nanzhi frowned, calmed down, and continued to ask, "You knew perfectly well that Xie Xiyan was the one who caused that car accident. Three years ago, you didn't hesitate to find someone to take the blame for her, and three years later, you still didn't hesitate to kill Liu Chen for her. Pei Jingchuan, do you love her that much? If so, why did you bother to provoke me?"
Xie Nanzhi's heart was in her throat. She hoped that Pei Jing would give her the answer she wanted, and her clenched palms were covered in cold sweat.
But Pei Jingchuan didn't fall for it. "Nanzhi, are you jealous?"
Jealous?
Ha, do you still think of her as that clueless idiot she was three months ago?
Xie Nanzhi died three months ago, buried with her love for him in a pitch-black abyss.
Xie Nanzhi neither admitted nor denied it. "Xie Xiyan plotted against me and took my cornea. I will definitely settle this score with her. I know she is your precious darling, and you are definitely wholeheartedly protecting her, so please stop bothering me."
Pei Jingchuan still didn't react, and Xie Nanzhi was getting impatient. Just as she was losing patience, he suddenly snatched her phone away.
Because it happened so suddenly, she didn't even have a chance to react.
Pei Jingchuan looked at his phone screen, which showed that it was recording.
The next second, Pei Jingchuan slammed his phone to the ground, his cold gaze fixed on her, a self-deprecating smile curling his thin lips.
"Nanzhi, I love you so much, yet you want me dead?"
Xie Nanzhi underestimated Pei Jingchuan's counter-surveillance capabilities. After all, someone who has walked a tightrope for years has never had any trouble, so how could he be an ordinary person?
Xie Nanzhi stared at him cautiously, adopting a defensive posture.
Suddenly, Pei Jingchuan lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. She instinctively bent her knee to strike his lower abdomen, but Pei Jingchuan was already prepared and easily dodged.
Pei Jingchuan forced her to back away, pinning Xie Nanzhi against the wall.
Beneath his fierce gaze lay pain and struggle. Pei Jingchuan leaned down to look at her, "I saw you with Shen Xu..."
After a pause, Pei Jingchuan's eyes turned bloodshot as he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Outside the restroom, you were holding his waist, were you kissing?"
Xie Nanzhi was taken aback.
Outside the restroom?
The only man she encountered outside the restroom was Wei Chizheng.
It seems that Pei Jingchuan only saw her being close to a man, but didn't see the man's face, and mistakenly thought that the person was Shen Xu.
She found it ridiculous; she'd have to be crazy to choose between a pile of garbage and a turd.
Xie Nanzhi laughed mockingly, her words dripping with sarcasm, "Pei Jingchuan, you're sick."
Pei Jingchuan was so jealous his heart was about to explode. No one could understand how painful it was for him to see Xie Nanzhi hugging "Chen Xu" around the waist, the two of them so intimate.
He wished he could kill Shen Xu.
Especially when he thought about how Xie Nanzhi had asked him if she still loved Shen Xu before she left, and her answer was ambiguous, Pei Jingchuan felt a surge of frustration.
Xie Nanzhi is Shen Xu's fiancée. If it weren't for her blindness, they would have been married long ago, and maybe even had children.
So, is it because of Shen Xu that she is unwilling to forgive him and unwilling to turn back?
She still loves Shen Xu, and even wants to relive her past with him?
No, he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
Her reddened eyes gleamed with jealousy, and Pei Jingchuan's heavy breath fell on her cheek. "Nanzhi, you are mine. I will never allow you to be with Shen Xu again, never."
After saying that, Pei Jingchuan leaned down to kiss her lips, and Xie Nanzhi, in her haste, bumped her head into his nose.
A sharp pain shot through her nasal cavity. In the instant Pei Jingchuan's mind wandered, she seized the opportunity to break free of her control, her dark eyes glancing at the red wine displayed on the wine rack.
A sinister glint flashed in Xie Nanzhi's eyes. Without a moment's thought, she grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it down on Pei Jingchuan's head.
With a loud crash, the red wine spilled all over the floor.
Xie Nanzhi glanced coldly at the disheveled Pei Jingchuan, her thin lips curving into a smile. "This is something I wanted to do to you the last time I saw you."
Xie Nanzhi threw away the remaining half of the wine bottle, wiped her hands, and left gracefully.
As for Pei Jingchuan, blood mixed with red wine dripped down his cheeks, but he stood motionless, like a wooden puppet unaware of pain.
But from a distance, those reddish eyes seemed to be gleaming.
The woman who used to try her best to cheer him up when she sensed he was down is now attacking him.
She loved him so much, she clearly... loved him so much, how could she...
Pei Jingchuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
Xie Nanzhi quickly ran out of the lounge and bumped into Wei Chizheng, who was coming upstairs, just as she reached the stairwell.
Why is your forehead covered in sweat?
Xie Nanzhi composed herself. "It's nothing, I just cracked open someone's head, and their adrenaline spiked a bit."
Wei Chizheng glanced at something behind her, his expression turning cold. Without saying anything more, he said, "Okay, let's go."
At first glance, there seems to be no problem.
Xie Nanzhi only realized what was happening as she walked downstairs. "Don't tell me, you came all this way just to find me?"
Wei Chizheng did not deny it. He stood straight to one side and said, "I didn't see Pei Jingchuan, and I couldn't find you, so I came to check."
Suddenly, Xie Nanzhi looked into his eyes.
Then Wei Chizheng added, "After all, we are allies, and for me, I don't want to lose Miss Nan as a partner for the time being."
Xie Nanzhi's mind went blank for two seconds.
What is she expecting?
She's insane!
After a moment, Xie Nanzhi nodded. "Yes, I understand. By the way, have you found the person Mr. Wei wants to see?"
Wei Chizheng remained expressionless, but his eyes were very deep when he looked at her. "Yes, I found her and met her. I came here to say goodbye to Miss Nan."
Perhaps it's because they've been spending more time together lately, but Xie Nanzhi has forgotten the scene of their first meeting, and her fear of him is gradually dissipating.
Xie Nanzhi smiled and waved playfully, "Goodbye, Mr. Wei."
Suddenly, Wei Chizheng's icy face broke into a smile, and he awkwardly mimicked her gesture, "Goodbye, Miss Nan."
It's unclear who left first, but when Xie Nanzhi looked back, Wei Chizheng was nowhere to be seen.
About five minutes later, the ambulance arrived and took away Pei Jingchuan, who had fallen into a coma.
This concludes tonight's banquet.
After the guests left, Xie Nanzhi, Xi Bei, and Zhou Mubin nestled on the balcony, each holding a bottle of wine as they admired the moon.
Xibei, who had drunk the most, said drunkenly, "I wonder which brave man actually smashed Pei Gou's head. It's really gratifying."
Xie Nanzhi tilted her head and looked her over. "Is it possible that the warrior you're talking about is sitting right next to you?"
Xibei was stunned, her brain not quite processing what was happening. Her gaze darted between Xie Nanzhi and Zhou Mubin before she finally chose an answer, "Old Zhou?"
I'm impressed.
Given two choices, there's a 50% chance you'll choose the wrong one.
Xie Nanzhi patted her, "Baby, go wash up and go to bed."
Xibei grinned, "I can guess this right, I'm a genius."
Zhou Mubin complained, "Xibei, promise me, never drink with anyone other than me and Nanzhi."
Xibei, "Why?"
Xie Nanzhi joked, "The image of a genius girl is easily shattered."
Xibei tilted her head and pondered; it was clear she was really drunk.
However, Xie Nanzhi was very clear-headed. She gently nudged Zhou Mubin with her shoulder, her relaxed smile fading, and she said with a hint of seriousness, "Xie Xiyan has found out who my biological father is."
