Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Divorce
Good men don't fight with women.
Xie Jin narrowed his peach blossom eyes and placed Yu Rong in front of him. "Tomboy, if you want to fight, let Yu Rong accompany you. I'm a dashing man, and I won't play those back-and-forth games with you. Our Miss Yin is still well-behaved and lovely. You must be hungry. Let's go, Xie, take her to eat something delicious."
Yin Ruizhu was sitting in a chair in the corner of the lobby in a daze. Suddenly she heard someone calling her and stood up subconsciously. "Is the poison cured? How is Ah Xu now? Can I see her?" As she said that, she got up and went upstairs. How could she go upstairs at this time? Xie Jin quickly reached out to stop her.
"The poison has been removed, but my sister-in-law's vitality has been damaged. She needs to recuperate and recuperate. It won't be too late for you to eat something first and then see her later."
Everyone watched as Li Zhan was carried out of the room. In order not to affect Nan Xu's reputation, they had to say that Li Zhan and the princess had a grudge against Nan Xu and had given her a deadly poison. Duan Wenpei, who had made extraordinary contributions, was detoxifying Nan Xu in the room.
Yin Ruizhu believed it, and now with Xie Jin's guarantee, she finally felt relieved for her friend.
"Okay. Thank you all for saving Ah Xu." She nodded to everyone, performed a man's bow, turned around and sat back.
The shopkeeper watched intently and hurriedly asked the waiter to bring the food. He then went forward to inquire about the arrangements for those in the room and those imprisoned in the lower-class rooms. Xie Jin waved his hand, pointed at Liu Hui who was standing silently aside, and indicated that he had something to ask him. He then sat down and went to have dinner with Yin Ruizhu.
Liu Hui was accustomed to Xie Jin's playboy temperament. He gave the shopkeeper a few instructions and turned to arrange the rest of the matter with Yu Rong. As he passed by Xiao Jing, he heard her muttering sadly, "Do all men in this world only like gentle and beautiful ladies from wealthy families, and hate women like us who are fighting for our lives in the pile of death?"
Liu Hui looked up at the building and shook his head quietly.
Bad fate...
*
Nan Xu was woken up by hunger.
She slowly opened her eyes, and gradually regained consciousness. She was shocked to feel pain all over her body as if it was falling apart. Memories of herself before she lost consciousness came flooding back. Nan Xu stared blankly at the gray-white bed curtains above her head, tears streaming down her face.
She lost her virginity, and the person who hurt her was Li Zhan.
brute...
Despair and hatred intertwined, feeling the warm weight of the man buried in the crook of her neck, Nan Xu silently touched the pillow on the bed... After a struggle between her conscience and her desires, she pressed down hard on her side with lightning speed.
Her strength was too weak and her speed was not fast enough. When the pillow just touched the head with loose hair, the strong and powerful arm had already risen up and tightly grasped her slender wrist.
A magnetic, hoarse voice lazily sounded from behind the pillow, with a hint of blushing melancholy, "Are you going to murder your husband so soon?"
Hearing the voice that couldn't be more familiar, Nan Xu was startled and quickly threw away the pillow, revealing the handsome face that had been turning over and over in her mind.
"Duan Wenpei." She was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into his arms aggrievedly, hugged his neck tightly, and called his name again.
"Duan Wenpei!"
Tears flowed like a flood, carelessly splashing on his neck and collar, burning his heart. He tilted his head and kissed her eyes, whispering to her, "I'm here, I'm here, Ah Xu, it's okay, it's okay."
"Don't be afraid, I beat the bad guys away, no one is bullying you, don't cry, it makes me sad..."
His patience seemed endless. He whispered in her ear over and over again, gradually calming her fluctuating emotions.
After crying for a while, Nan Xu finally calmed down by lying on his neck.
She sorted out the whole story and asked him in a muffled voice, "You...you and...I..."
Nan Xu felt she should face the facts calmly. At least that man was the one she loved now, and also her husband. Although she still felt bothered by his previous actions and words, when she truly held him in her arms, she felt that perhaps there were other reasons. She would listen to his explanation, and as long as he said it, she would believe it.
Seeing that she was shy and timid, Duan Wenpei stroked her hair and laughed.
Her chest vibrated, and her prone body also rose and fell slightly. Nan Xu understood what he was laughing at, blushed, and punched him with her fist, "Don't laugh!"
Duan Wenpei grabbed her rebellious hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, "Okay, I won't laugh."
He said he wasn't laughing, but his body was telling the truth. Seeing Nan Xu was about to hit him again, he quickly stopped laughing and gently coaxed the beauty in his arms, "I really don't laugh anymore, Ah Xu, don't be upset."
Nan Xu loosened her fist and pulled his ear, but he didn't move.
Duan Wenpei knew what she meant. He patted her back and whispered to her in her ear what had happened one by one, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep.
"Li Zhan has ulterior motives. He conspired with Jingyi to use a vile drug to make you..." He didn't say the rest of the sentence. They both understood. Seeing that she didn't react when he mentioned Li Zhan, Duan Wenpei curled his lips and continued, "After I learned that he had abducted you, I sent people to track down Li Zhan and rushed back overnight. Finally, we stopped him at the last moment."
"Ah Xu, your body won't lie to you. We are already a real couple."
Nan Xu's face turned red again, and even her ears gradually became hot.
"I know." She buried her head even tighter, but Duan Wenpei really wanted to see her.
"Okay Ah Xu, lift your head and let's talk properly, okay?"
Nan Xu bit her lip, loosened her arms, and then hugged him back like a quail.
"No, let's just say that."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled twice.
Duan Wenpei felt the stiffness in her body, and hurriedly lifted her up in his arms. While dressing her, he ordered food to be sent in from outside.
After a while, Liu Hui came in with the waiter carrying the food. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Nan Xu touched her empty stomach, picked up the chopsticks and started eating with relish.
Duan Wenpei saw the incense she brought in and smoked some with her.
"Eat more of this. I asked them to make it specially for you to nourish your body. This place is remote, and there aren't many good ingredients. Just make do with it for now. I'll ask them to make some better food when we move to another place later."
As she watched the red date and white fungus soup being scooped into her bowl and listened to his words, Nan Xu subconsciously thought of the marks on her body. The shyness and uneasiness she had previously forgotten due to hunger surged back into her heart. Nan Xu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and ate silently, ignoring him.
Duan Wenpei's gentle gaze followed her every move, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones and blood, and he could never get enough of looking at her.
Nan Xu felt uncomfortable being stared at. She swallowed a spoonful of soup and started talking for no apparent reason. "Jingyi and Li Zhan, what are you going to do?"
Although their behavior is shameful, their identities also determine that even if the matter is exposed, nothing can be done to them.
But she really wanted to know Duan Wenpei's attitude.
Duan Wenpei stirred the porridge in his bowl and asked, "What do you want them to do? I'll do whatever you say."
she?
Nan Xu put down the spoon, sat up straight and looked at him, saying word by word, "I want them to understand the helplessness and pain I felt at that time."
Duan Wenpei stared at her without saying anything for a long time.
Nan Xu raised an eyebrow, remembering Jingyi's words before she fainted. Duan Wenpei's schemes and calculations were always solely for his own benefit and purpose. He'd said she was his wife in name only before, but what about now? What excuses, what kind of necessity, would he find to perfunctorily appease her?
Duan Wenpei naturally didn't know that Nan Xu had recovered from the ambiguous atmosphere just now. He subconsciously bent his index finger and tapped the table, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head with some disapproval.
"It's possible, but not now."
"Why? I'm not in Kyoto now, so I won't be as vicious as them. They are husband and wife, and I just want them to have a taste of the medicine. It's not excessive."
Duan Wenpei held her hand helplessly. "I know, I know you hate me, but we're about to enter Shu, Ah Xu. This trip involves not only you and me, but also Jingyi and Li Zhan, as well as the secret guards sent by His Majesty, and the people of Shu waiting for food relief. This is a serious matter, and we've already delayed our journey. The most important thing now is to enter Shu as soon as possible. As for the princess and Li Zhan... I promise you, after the matter in Shu is over, you can do whatever you want with them."
The light in Nan Xu's eyes gradually dimmed as he explained.
She slowly pulled her hand away from Duan Wenpei's hand without moving. Duan Wenpei seemed to notice and held it tighter.
"A Xu, please believe me."
Nan Xu looked at their clasped hands and sneered inwardly, "Believe? I'm willing to believe you, but are you really going to do what you say?"
Duan Wenpei was a little confused, "When did I fail to keep my promise?"
Nan Xu looked at him coldly, "Let me ask you, who is the murderer who buried Yu Ming alive?"
So that's what he was asking. Duan Wenpei caressed the hand in his hand and soothed her, "Liu Hui seemed to have said before that he had a clue, but since we were about to enter Shu, I didn't ask any more questions. I guess there's still no definite clue."
He moved the stool towards her, wanting to be closer to her. "I am responsible for Yuming's matter. Don't worry, when I find out the real culprit, I will definitely not let him off."
"It's Jingyi."
"What?"
"I'm telling you, your subordinate Yu Rong has already found out that the real murderer is Jingyi, Princess Jingyi who drugged me and wanted to ruin my innocence." Nan Xu suddenly stood up and pulled her hand away the moment he lost consciousness.
"Now that I've told you who the real murderer is, how are you going to punish him?"
She looked at him in disappointment, and backed away again and again, staying away from him as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.
"Duan Wenpei, don't look at me like that. I don't believe Yu Rong didn't tell you, and I don't believe you don't know either."
"And why you are reluctant to tell me, why you are reluctant to tell me the truth, only you know."
What did he know? He had no idea about this matter. Liu Hui did tell him about what he had found out about the Big Buddha Temple incident, but he...he thought...he was really focused on entering Shu and didn't take it to heart.
But, he can explain...
The long silence of the person opposite was an indisputable fact and irrefutable evidence in Nan Xu's eyes.
From joy and ecstasy to disappointment and numbness, Nan Xu felt that she needed to be alone and quiet.
She no longer hesitated, turned around and pushed the door open.
Seeing that the door was already half opened, a gust of irresistible wind suddenly blew from behind, and the palm of my hand was slightly numb. The door was pushed closed with a "bang" by the strong wind.
Nan Xu was a little angry and was about to turn around to question, but someone suddenly approached and grabbed her hands and clamped them tightly against the door.
"Is that how you look at me? Huh? You won't even listen to a word I say?"
His warm breath sprayed on her face and neck. Her mind felt like it was being stabbed, and those broken images flashed through her mind like electric shock. Nan Xu's earlobes blushed involuntarily. She turned her head away, avoiding his domineering shackles, and pretended to be calm. "It's not that I have to see you this way, but because of what you did, I have to see you this way. Duan Wenpei, people should know themselves."
"Self-knowledge? Haha, my self-knowledge, you've already experienced it yourself. Ah Xu, am I not doing well enough, not being honest enough? Fine, then I'll let you see whether my heart is red or black!"
He separated her five fingers and crossed them together. He held her hand and pressed it against his heart. She resisted, but in the face of his absolute strength, it was like a drop in the bucket.
Just as he pressed her hand on the beating heart, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss it.
He searched for her lips clumsily and forcefully.
Nan Xu didn't want to, so she hid when he chased her. When she couldn't hide, she looked at him sadly, "You can't do this, Duan Wenpei, let me go, I don't want to do this now!"
"Are you unwilling, or are you still thinking about Li Zhan? Even if he wants to destroy your innocence?"
He pressed the tip of his nose against her face, as if trying to see through her.
Nan Xu was stunned and asked him in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"What did I say? Ah Xu, ask yourself, have you ever let go of your childhood sweetheart? Otherwise, why would you keep calling his name while you were unconscious? Why did you doubt me after only listening to his and Jingyi's one-sided words? In the final analysis, you haven't let go of him, because his place in your heart has never changed, and you believe in him."
“Bang!”
Nan Xu didn't have much strength, and this time, Duan Wenpei didn't cooperate by turning his head.
"Did it touch your heart?"
“Bang!”
Duan Wenpei touched his cheek, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, a dangerous and excited light dancing in the depths of his pupils that he himself had not noticed. He lowered his head and searched for her lips...
It's like this again! It's like this again!
They only rely on their own powerful strength to bully the weak.
But the love she wants is not just possession and control.
Nan Xu was driven to desperation and blurted out, "If you continue like this...divorce! Duan Wenpei, I want to divorce you!"
He paused, "What did you say? Say it again."
His tall figure completely enveloped her, and the coldness in his eyes completely turned into burning flames, as if he wanted to burn her to ashes and melt her into his body.
"Haha, you want to leave after sleeping? Okay," his hot lips brushed against her ear, bewitching her word by word, "unless you kill me with one arrow like you did back at Tianxiang Tower."
After saying that, he kissed her lips madly.
