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

My heart was suddenly stabbed.

However, in my opinion, her behavior was much more normal, because someone like Shen Zhixia only ever cares about Xu Jin's feelings.

Seeing that my attitude had softened a bit, she immediately pointed to the disinfectant and cotton swabs on the bedside table, "I put these on the bedside table. You can come over and disinfect them before going to the guest room."

Shen Zhixia has a rather strong personality. She has already patiently talked to me so much tonight. If I refuse her again, it will only make her angry.

It's just disinfection; I don't need to go against her.

Thinking of this, I stopped lingering and let Shen Zhixia pull me to the bedside to sit down.

Shen Zhixia lifted my clothes and was stunned when she saw the dense scars on my back.

She had considered the possibility of getting injured by jumping off the building, but she never imagined I would be injured so badly.

My back was covered in red scabs, with blue and purple blood clots crisscrossing around it, making it look extremely creepy.

She was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, picked up the disinfectant and cotton swabs, and carefully disinfected my wound.

When the disinfectant touched my back, I couldn't help but shudder and unconsciously clench my teeth.

I know I have scratches on my back; I must have gotten them when I jumped off the building.

Logically speaking, so many days have passed, and the wound on my back should have scabbed over by now. But just when it was about to scab over, I chose to undergo chemotherapy.

The recurring pains after chemotherapy made me unconsciously hunch over.

I tried to curl up to reduce the pain, but this only caused the wound on my back to tear open again and again, which is why it hasn't scabbed over yet.

After Shen Zhixia finished disinfecting me, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's a little better than jumping off a building."

After saying this indifferently, I immediately put down the clothes I had lifted up. "Thank you for disinfecting my wound. Get some rest."

After I said that, I got up and left the master bedroom.

This time, Shen Zhixia didn't stop me.

I breathed a sigh of relief after I entered the guest room next to the master bedroom.

I don't want to love Shen Zhixia anymore, but I'm not sure if I'll still waver when faced with her doing something like that.

Thankfully, nothing happened tonight.

That night, I calmed down and drew for two hours before going to bed.

I had just turned off the lights and gone to sleep when someone suddenly opened the door a crack, and a familiar scent wafted in.

It's Shen Zhixia.

What is she doing coming here so late at night?

Before I could figure out why she suddenly ran over, my body had already reacted.

I closed my eyes, and my ears involuntarily perked up.

Shen Zhixia quietly closed the guest room door, crept to the bedside, then pulled back the covers and lay down beside me.

I stiffened up, my body rigid, and listened intently to the sounds around me.

She first reached out and touched my forehead, as if to check if I had a fever.

The next second, she reached out and gently wrapped her arms around my waist.

Just as I was panicking and at a loss, her slightly teasing voice rang in my ear, "Are you pretending to be asleep?"

The warmth of her breath filled my ears, and my heart pounded faster and faster.

I frowned and opened my eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Zhixia tightened her grip around my waist and said matter-of-factly, "I came over because I couldn't sleep."

A chill ran through me, and my racing heartbeat slowly calmed down.

"If you miss Xu Jin, you can give him a call."

"Fighted."

Shen Zhixia answered my question softly, but it sent a chill down my spine.

So what does she mean now? Is she seeking comfort from me because Xu Jin isn't here?

I felt a dull, painful pain in my chest, but then I realized, what do I have to be upset about? Haven't I been doing this for the past three years?

Like a lonely woman confined to her chambers, I prepared meals at home every day, eagerly awaiting Shen Zhixia's return, hoping to win her love.

But I got nothing.

So I realized it.

I closed my eyes slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "His room should still have his scent on it. You can sleep in the room."

Shen Zhixia frowned, and her voice when she spoke again carried a hint of surprise.

"You want me to sleep with Xu Jin?"

I was taken aback for a moment when I heard this, then laughed sarcastically, "Haven't you slept with Xu Jin enough?"

Shen Zhixia did not answer.

I waited for ages, and just when I thought Shen Zhixia wouldn't answer me, she spoke.

"I have never slept with Xu Jin."

I was stunned for a moment, and even doubted whether I had heard correctly.

I quickly found my voice, "Didn't you two sleep in the same room just a few days ago?"

They're both adults; I don't believe they could have slept in the same room and done nothing.

Moreover, I saw faint red marks on Xu Jin's neck that day.

Shen Zhixia raised an eyebrow in the darkness, and explained again with rare good temper, "Ji Nanchen, nothing happened between me and him."

what?

Nothing ever happened between Shen Zhixia and Xu Jin?

What were those red marks on Xu Jin's neck that day?

I opened my mouth as if to ask something, but then I felt there was no need to ask any more questions.

So many rumors have circulated between Shen Zhixia and Xu Jin, but she has never explained anything to me. She doesn't care about my feelings at all. Now that I've decided to let her go, why should I care about so much?

In the darkness, Shen Zhixia waited for a long time but didn't hear the person next to her continue asking questions. Her dark eyes were filled with shock.

She leaned slightly closer to Ji Nanchen.

"Ji Nanchen, aren't you shocked?"

I shifted to the side slightly and replied indifferently, "What's between you two is none of my business."

Shen Zhixia was slightly taken aback, and her voice sounded somewhat wistful when she spoke again.

"Your attitude surprised me a bit. I thought you would be happy to know that I didn't cheat on you."

"Shen Zhixia, I'm not someone who will forget the slap I was given just because you gave me a sweet treat."

Although I may have been that kind of person in the past, I won't be anymore.

After all these years, it's time for me to wake up from my love-struck ways.

During my silence, Shen Zhixia thought a lot.

She hadn't expected that even after speaking to Ji Nanchen so politely, he would still be so ungrateful.

She felt that Ji Nanchen had changed.

He used to only have eyes for her, and he would unconditionally forgive her no matter what she did, instead of treating her coldly like he does now.

Shen Zhixia suddenly remembered what Ji Nanchen looked like when she first met him.

At that time, he stood tall and looked at her with tenderness, saying, "Shen Zhixia, don't cry. You deserve all the beautiful things in this world."

At first, they were friends and quite close.

She knew that Ji Nanchen was Pei Jin's roommate, so she often learned about Pei Jin through Ji Nanchen, and he told her everything without reservation.

Later, he also subtly reminded her that Pei Jin might not be the same as she imagined. Every time she heard this, she would react like a fox whose tail had been stepped on, arguing back furiously.

Later, Pei Jin died. She knew that Ji Nanchen was also there that night. She couldn't accept Pei Jin's death, so she transferred all her resentment onto Ji Nanchen.

But if Ji Nanchen is truly innocent, then what she has done over the years...
