The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

This time, I didn't struggle or resist; I obediently opened the door to the master bedroom.

Perhaps because I had just vomited blood, my face was too pale. I saw a hint of surprise flash in Shen Zhixia's eyes when she first saw me.

The surprise quickly vanished. She walked into the master bedroom, casually closed the door, and coldly questioned, "Ji Nanchen! Tell me, why did you hit Xu Jin today?"

"Don't you know everything?"

I asked back calmly, without showing much emotion on my face.

She clearly only believes what Xu Jin says, so why bother asking me?

"I did what happened to Meng Jinghuai, it has nothing to do with him, you don't need to take your anger out on him!"

"He was supposed to attend an art exhibition today, but because you hit him, he couldn't go! When I took him to the hospital to treat his wounds, do you know how many wounds he had on his body?"

As Shen Zhixia questioned this point, a hint of anger flashed in her dark eyes.

When they were at the hospital for a check-up, Xu Jin, afraid that she would worry, made an excuse to let her leave. It was only when she insisted on staying that she realized how badly Ji Nanchen had beaten her.

The bruises and welts on his skin were strikingly visible against his fair complexion.

And the culprit behind all of this is Ji Nanchen!

Shen Zhixia was finally enraged and slapped me across the face. "Ji Nanchen, you knew perfectly well that Xu Jin was in poor health and couldn't beat you, yet you deliberately beat him up like this. You're so malicious!"

I took a hard slap from her and staggered back several steps before I regained my balance.

I covered my burning cheeks, my dark eyes meeting Shen Zhixia's angry gaze.

"It's all my fault for not killing him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia's pupils contracted sharply, and her gaze towards me became even more piercing. "The one who deserves to die is you!"

"No matter how much I deserve to die, I would never stoop so low as to become a male mistress and seduce a married man! No matter how much I deserve to die, I would never be so malicious as to plot against him..."

Before I could finish speaking, Shen Zhixia impatiently interrupted me.

She said, "Xu Jin didn't seduce me! I was the one who pursued him!"

I shuddered, feeling as if a giant hand was squeezing my chest, making it hard to breathe.

Xu Jin did not seduce Shen Zhixia; she was the one who pursued him.

Just like how she wholeheartedly loved Pei Jin back then.

Before I could react, Shen Zhixia slapped me again, and her next words were like daggers to my heart.

"Ji Nanchen, you're the despicable one. You know I have someone else in my heart, yet you still stubbornly stay by my side, using the guise of loving me to pester me. I just beckon you with my finger and you wag your tail and come crawling to me, clinging to me like a pitiful worm."

"In the years we've been married, I've been having affairs, changing men one after another, and the whole world knows I've cheated on you. But what have you done? You've just pretended not to know and haven't been willing to divorce me?"

"You know perfectly well that I can't forget Pei Jin, yet you pretend not to see or hear it. Over the years, you haven't been deceiving yourself and fooling yourself, have you?"

I froze, feeling as if I had fallen into an ice cave, the cold around me making me want to curl up.

I clearly said I didn't care about Shen Zhixia anymore, so why does my heart still hurt so much?

It turns out she knew about all my efforts over the years; she just watched me revolve around her like it was a joke.

I don't know when, but the smell of rust assaulted my nose again. I reached out and casually wiped my hand, only to find it covered in blood.

Shen Zhixia frowned in disgust and said irritably, "Don't play the victim with me, it disgusts me!"

nausea?

I slumped to the ground, reached up and vigorously wiped my still-bleeding nose, and gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Shen Zhixia, if you find me disgusting, why don't you divorce me?"

"As long as you divorce me, I promise I'll never appear in front of you again. You and Xu Jin can live your lives however you want, it's none of my business..."

Before I could finish speaking, Shen Zhixia shouted sharply, "Enough!"

"Ji Nanchen, what kind of trick are you playing now? Is it a strategy of diplomacy followed by force? Or a feigned retreat to advance?"

She stared at me coldly, then grabbed my chin and said, "Ji Nanchen, let me tell you, don't even think about divorce. I will never divorce you!"

"A disgusting person like you should live in hell, never to see the sunlight again. Only that would make me a little happier!"

I stared at her blankly, my face ashen.

I opened my mouth to explain, but I hadn't done anything wrong. Why was she torturing me like this? But I knew she wouldn't believe me.

She never believed me.

Seeing my distraught state, Shen Zhixia coldly reached out and patted my cheek.

“Ji Nanchen, come with me later to apologize to Xu Jin. He’s so kind. As long as you sincerely apologize to him, he will definitely forgive you.”

"Should I tell him to go apologize to him?"

I looked up and met Shen Zhixia's gaze. My eyes were bloodshot, but she found them utterly ridiculous.

She said, "Ji Nanchen, what do you mean? Even now, you still won't admit your mistake?"

My pupils contracted sharply, and I suddenly felt a tickle in my throat. The taste of blood kept rising in my throat. I wanted to cough, but I knew I couldn't.

I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, and stared blankly at the woman in front of me.

"Shen Zhixia, the biggest mistake I ever made in my life was falling in love with you. I shouldn't have humbled myself to the dust because of liking you, and I shouldn't have lost myself because of liking you!"

"The way things have developed between us is entirely my own fault!"

Unfortunately, there's no turning back.

Otherwise, I would never fall in love with you again!

My eyes stung, and tears instantly streamed down my face. As I lowered my gaze, I felt a wave of darkness wash over me.

Seeing this, Shen Zhixia felt her inner turmoil intensify. "Ji Nanchen, are you going to apologize or not?!"

"Don't go!"

This time I answered very decisively.

Xu Jin was the mastermind behind Zhang Guifen's murder. You want me to apologize to the murderer? What's the difference between that and killing me?!

Shen Zhixia seemed shocked that I hadn't given in yet. She took a deep breath and threatened me with a sneer.

"Ji Nanchen, I just taught you a lesson this morning, and you've already forgotten it by this afternoon?"

"If you don't apologize to Xu Jin, I can't guarantee what I might do!"

I laughed self-deprecatingly, then roared like a madman, "If you kill Meng Jinghuai, then I'll go and die with him, is that enough?"

"No, haven't you always wanted me dead? How about I jump off here right now and pay for Pei Jin's life?"
