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

I pursed my lips and denied it coldly, "No, I just don't want you to touch me."

Her hand has touched Xu Jin, and she's touched many men. Why should she touch me again?

I used to love Shen Zhixia so much that I lost all reason, so I begged her to come home and to see me. But now I don't love Shen Zhixia anymore.

I don't want to have any further entanglement with her.

Shen Zhixia's previously listless expression instantly changed, turning gloomy and terrifying.

"Ji Nanchen, say that again!"

"I can wipe it myself!"

I stared calmly at the woman standing by the bed, my hands unconsciously clenching under the covers.

Shen Zhixia is crazy; I'm afraid she'll lose her mind and go completely insane.

But she didn't.

She stared at me angrily, remained silent for a long time, and then turned away.

After taking off my clothes, I struggled to wipe my body with a towel before changing into new clothes.

Later, Shen Zhixia silently helped me walk towards the master bedroom.

My body stiffened slightly, and I said gently, "Help me to another guest room to sleep."

“I am your legal wife, you should sleep in the master bedroom.”

Shen Zhixia looked at me forcefully, her hand tightening slightly as if she would forcibly drag me there if I didn't go to the master bedroom to sleep.

I sighed helplessly, "Shen Zhixia, can't we get along peacefully?"

"If you behave well, we can coexist peacefully."

After saying this, Shen Zhixia helped me walk directly towards the master bedroom.

This time I didn't struggle, because I knew it would be useless.

After she helped me to sit down on the bed in the master bedroom, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead.

Ji Nanchen looked much thinner, but he was still quite heavy.

I propped myself up on my hands and moved a little further onto the bed, then lay down flat.

When Shen Zhixia looked up, her gaze fell directly on my lips. Her brows furrowed slightly. "Ji Nanchen, how did your health deteriorate so much?"

"Stomach bleeding, fighting, jumping off a building, catching a cold from being caught in the rain. Even if Shen Zhixia were any normal person, her health wouldn't be in good shape after experiencing so much in such a short period of time, right?"

After hearing what I said, Shen Zhixia immediately fell silent.

After a long while, just when I thought she wouldn't speak again, she spoke again.

"If taking freelance work is too tiring for you, then stop drawing design drafts and take a good rest for a while."

"You don't need to pay back that money."

They were husband and wife, and the money was considered their joint property, so Ji Nanchen didn't have to pay it back.

Shen Zhixia meant well when she said those things, but they sounded incredibly ironic to me.

When Zhang Guifen was in debt and I couldn't repay it, I thought about borrowing money from Shen Zhixia. But I still haven't forgotten what she said in her office that day.

She said, "Ji Nanchen, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve lately, all sorts of strange and endless ones. What's the point? Money?"

"I'm not your ATM, why are you asking me for money in all sorts of different ways?"

“Ji Nanchen, I’m not stupid. I won’t let you fool me a second time after you’ve fooled me once. I’m not your ATM. If you need money, go get a loan yourself.”

Now that Zhang Guifen is dead, what's the point of her saying all this?

It's only 800,000. If I work hard, I can still pay it back.

I clenched my fists tightly at my sides and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Guifen is my mother, and I should be the one to pay back the money she owes."

"Ji Nanchen, I'm worried that your body can't take it. Can't you tell?"

Are you worried about my health?

I laughed sarcastically. I'm terminally ill now. What's the use of worrying about my health? I'm beyond cure.

"I know my own body well."

After saying this in a cold voice, I directly told her to leave, "Shen Zhixia, thank you and Xu Jin for what happened today. It's getting late, you should go home and get some rest."

This time, Shen Zhixia didn't say anything and turned to leave the master bedroom.

"boom!"

She slammed the door to the master bedroom shut.

After Shen Zhixia left, I let down my guard and lay helplessly on the bed.

Just when I thought I could finally get some rest, Shen Zhixia made a surprise return.

After she entered the master bedroom, she locked the door from the inside. Then, as she walked towards me, she explained why she had just left.

"The guest room floor was a bit dirty, so I just asked Wang Ma to go and clean it up."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to the bedside.

The dim lighting in the master bedroom made Ji Nanchen's face appear even paler.

Shen Zhixia threw off the covers and lay down right next to me.

My body stiffened instantly, and I stammered, "You... why are you lying down?"

"I'm your wife, isn't it a normal thing for me to sleep with you?"

Shen Zhixia spoke with righteous indignation, and even reached out to put her arm around my waist, "Ji Nanchen, you're sick, so don't resist anymore, just go to sleep."

I opened my mouth to refute, but I was just too tired.

Finally, I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when I woke up, there was no one beside me.

I picked up my phone to check the messages. As soon as the screen unlocked, a flood of messages came in, the top one of which was from Su Jinyun.

[Ji Nanchen, do you remember Lin Wanruo, your kindergarten teacher? In two days it will be the anniversary of her death, and also the 15th anniversary of her husband founding the Happiness Orphanage. You must attend.]

Teacher Lin Wanruo.

I haven't seen this name in so long; it's been sealed away in my mind along with that memory, untouched for so long.

Teacher Lin Wanruo is a very good teacher and she is the savior of me and Su Jinyun.

I used to have a very hard life and my family was very unfortunate. When I was in kindergarten, I met a good teacher - Teacher Lin Wanruo.

She cared for me meticulously, applied medicine to my wounds, and even drowned herself to save me and Su Jinyun from drowning.

The day she drowned was my birthday.

After she drowned, her husband, Li Jingtao, did not choose to remarry. Instead, he chose to continue her dream and founded the Happiness Orphanage.

As the director, Li Jingtao took in many homeless and unwanted children at the Happiness Orphanage.

He once said, "All children in this world are pure, so he is willing to unconditionally embrace these children and give them a home."

He and Teacher Lin Wanruo are both great.

But the world is very realistic, and not many people are willing to do good deeds unconditionally and without expecting anything in return. So after Li Jingtao founded the Happiness Orphanage, he lived in poverty.

After I started working, I donated money to the Happiness Orphanage every month. I wanted to do something within my power.

Suddenly, I realized that I hadn't celebrated my birthday in a long time.

It seems like no one has ever remembered to celebrate my birthday.

I vaguely remember that on my birthday two years ago, Shen Zhixia was exposed by paparazzi for having an affair with a popular young male celebrity at a hotel. I rushed to the hotel like a madman, searching for her in every room.

Finally, when I found her, she opened the door with her hair all messy. "What are you doing here?"
