To a certain extent, Li Zishan knew this woman very well, even better than those classmates in school who thought they were close to her.
Hostility either brings prejudice or transcends prejudice and brings understanding that far exceeds longing.
The knife was placed on her neck, which was as fragile as a lotus root. If her hand loosened even a little, the flower would wither.
Including the naked confrontation with Li Zishan at home, all of these were part of creating pressure, stemming from Wang Jinling's absolute confidence in herself as a woman.
However, Li Zishan was a little nervous, but did not feel that scared.
She didn't think Wang Jinling would kill her.
"I really hate that bastard more and more." Wang Jinling said with a charming smile.
"You hate him, so why are you holding a knife to my neck?" Li Zishan rolled her eyes. "And you're naked, aren't you ashamed?"
Wang Jinling smiled slightly and said, "Because you aided and abetted the evil."
Li Zishan blinked, his face speechless.
Seeing that she had nothing to defend herself, Wang Jinling continued, "You're not stupid. Do you really not understand what that guy wants? He's the greediest person in the world. You and I are all part of his great ideal."
Are you willing to let him control you like this and never leave him?"
"If you really hate him for this, aren't you the one who understands this best?" Li Zishan pointed out, "Why don't you leave?"
Wang Jinling said lazily, "He originally belonged to me. You are the one who came uninvited, little girl. I am not like you. I can kill him at any time."
"You're lying." Li Zishan pursed her lips and said, "You don't leave him because you can't live without him."
Wang Jinling asked with interest, "Oh? Why do you think so?"
"Because I am the same, and so is Lin Xueyan." Li Zishan sneered, "Don't you understand him yet? He won't ask anything of you. On the surface, he gives you the choice of staying or leaving. In reality, he is the one with the least self-awareness."
"Well—you're right, that's even more reason for me to kill you." Wang Jinling suddenly admitted, "He destroyed everything for me. I have no career, my family has collapsed. I even have no place to come from. Just imagine, no one will remember how I grew up.
He keeps saying he wants to make up for all I've lost, but he doesn't belong to me alone. What should I do now?
Li Zishan suddenly stopped talking, bit her lips, turned her head away, and looked as if she was ready to kill or chop him up at will.
"I hate clever women like you the most." Wang Jinling suddenly released her restraint, moved away from Li Zishan, and sat on the armrest of the sofa with her legs crossed.
Li Zishan sat up and was silent for a while before suddenly saying, "Have you and Lin Xueyan discussed this privately?"
"She's not as threatening as you." Wang Jinling held her hair up, her wrist supporting her cheek as she spoke, "And she doesn't care how many women he has. You're different."
Li Zishan didn't say anything, just sat opposite and straightened his clothes.
Wang Jinling suddenly said, "Why am I so afraid of you? I really don't understand."
"You're so annoying." Li Zishan wrinkled his nose and said.
"Maybe there are still some unsolved mysteries in those memories." Wang Jinling said to herself, then shook her head.
Li Zishan suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Wang Jinling heard the frivolous tone in the smile and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Nothing, I just thought of something funny."
Li Zishan suddenly remembered what her husband had told her: in his two lifetimes, Wang Jinling had held a knife to his neck as many times as a palm, but never took anyone's life.
Wang Jinling was about to ask something, but suddenly rolled her eyes impatiently and said to the door, "What are you doing sneaking around like that? Are you used to stealing people?"
“…”
Outside the door, Chen Tinghan opened the door with his key and stood outside with a wry smile on his face.
"I don't remember giving you the key." Wang Jinling suddenly sneered twice: "It seems that the foot-washing maid is not honest. She needs to be punished."
Chen Tinghan would not help her explain this problem. The more he explained, the more suspicious it became. He dragged his luggage into the house and said helplessly:
"During this period of time, you should go back to Wanghai once, right? It would be nice to go back and take a look."
"What am I going back for? To see my dad being criticized and shot at some point?" Wang Jinling said, "Or should I go back and see you guys dancing?"
Chen Tinghan's heart skipped a beat. If Wang Jinling was teasing him and Li Zishan about their performance at the ball, then there was nothing to be afraid of. The most frightening thing was that she had a hidden agenda. It was pointing to the part of him that he felt guilty about.
He thought of the night he danced hand in hand with Shi Zirui, and the vague, unfathomable beauty and ambiguity.
Damn, what a scumbag. Chen Tinghan cursed himself in his heart, but then he felt that it was not a big deal. He was just brushing up on his dancing skills, not sleeping with Shi Zirui.
However, Li Zishan got angry at this time. She looked at Chen Tinghan with a smile, and her eyes seemed to question him: "She can talk so naturally and habitually even when naked. They are really like an old married couple."
He suddenly woke up, coughed twice and said, "Put on some clothes. It's not good and you'll catch a cold easily."
"Hmph." The two women snorted coldly at the same time.
Later, although Li Zishan was reluctant, she took the initiative to go downstairs to buy some daily necessities to give them some time.
Wang Jinling pulled out a nightgown and put it on. Chen Tinghan sat down next to her and suddenly said, "I've almost finished taking care of things over there."
