"This……"

Xu Jin looked at Shen Zhixia with feigned helplessness, opened her mouth as if to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Shen Zhixia sighed helplessly and softened her tone of voice.

“Xu Jin, you did nothing wrong. You shouldn’t have let him bully you. Look at these injuries on your body. If someone hadn’t stopped Ji Nanchen’s violence in time, your injuries would have been much worse.”

Shen Zhixia paused here, her gaze falling on the bandaged wound on Xu Jin's forehead, "Does the wound on your forehead still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Jin lowered her eyes and gently shook her head, saying in a low voice, "Xiaxia, I feel that Nan Chen really likes that Dr. Su."

"He likes her?"

Shen Zhixia asked a question with a half-smile, her hands unconsciously tightening at her sides.

Xu Jin nodded gently. "Nan Chen has always wanted to divorce you, and he even asked me to persuade you to divorce him as soon as possible, so that you can both be at peace and stop torturing each other."

Mutual torment?

Shen Zhixia unconsciously clenched her teeth, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her originally complicated gaze was now filled with sharpness.

"Ji Nanchen, don't even think about it! I will never divorce him, and he can forget about being with anyone else for the rest of his life."

Hearing the expected words, a flash of malice crossed Xu Jin's eyes, but when she looked up at Shen Zhixia again, her eyes were full of worry.

"Xiaxia, don't you think he did this to me on purpose?"

"on purpose?"

The smile on Shen Zhixia's lips vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy and dark look in her eyes.

Xu Jin clenched her hands nervously, her palms damp with sticky sweat. "Xiaxia, he might be trying to escalate the conflict between you by hurting me, so that he can get a divorce from you."

Shen Zhixia took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging anger in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "He is simply delusional."

After her anger subsided, Shen Zhixia reflected on what had happened to Ji Nanchen recently and suddenly understood.

No wonder Ji Nanchen was fine before, but lately he's been causing all sorts of trouble; it turns out he's determined to divorce her.

However, it was no use for him to be determined to divorce her; she would absolutely never divorce him!

Sitting next to her, Xu Jin's heart skipped a beat when she saw Xiaxia's cold expression. "Xiaxia, will you... will you divorce him?"

"No, Ji Nanchen should spend the rest of his life atoning for his sins. He doesn't deserve happiness."

Shen Zhixia's dark pupils were filled with a terrifying ferocity, and the temperature around her body dropped lower and lower.

The hope that had risen in Xu Jin's heart was instantly shattered. She trembled and looked at Shen Zhixia pitifully, "Then is it possible that there will never be a possibility between us?"

Shen Zhixia reached out and played with Xu Jin's slender fingers, her tone noticeably softening as she spoke again.

"Don't overthink it. As long as you're good, I'll never leave you."

"really?"

Xu Jin's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped the last straw, and she looked at Shen Zhixia with clear and bright eyes.

Shen Zhixia's heart softened, and she smiled as she reached out to pinch his cheek. "Yes, I'll buy you whatever you want, and I'll go with you to do whatever you want."

"it is good."

Xu Jin obediently agreed, but a look of loneliness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Shen Zhixia naturally knew what he cared about. She suddenly withdrew her hand and grasped Xu Jin's fingers. "Xu Jin, if Ji Nanchen were not my husband, I would have no reason to torment him."

“You’re different. You’re sincere to me. I know you won’t leave me, so things are fine as they are now.”

Hearing this, Xu Jin was dissatisfied, but upon reflection, she realized that Shen Zhixia's words were not without merit.

He humiliated and tormented Ji Nanchen in front of Shen Zhixia's beloved, watching him suffer a fate worse than death. It was still better than being bored every day.

After he understood, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, as long as Xiaxia has me in her heart, that's enough."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia smiled and rubbed and played with his fingers.

"After a while, I'll take you to Chengzhou to see the autumn leaves you've been longing to see."

"it is good."

Xu Jin's eyes were full of information, and her tone was clear and detailed in her reply.

The next second, as if remembering something, he looked at Shen Zhixia sitting by the hospital bed with trepidation, "Xiaxia, if you don't agree to divorce Nan Chen, will he... continue to cause trouble?"

"He doesn't have the guts."

If Ji Nanchen dares to cause trouble again, she will definitely not be lenient with Meng Jinghuai and the others.

After chatting with Xu Jin for a while, Shen Zhixia fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that he was asleep, she got up and went to the living room to deal with the backlog of work from the company.

As darkness fell, Shen Zhixia went to see Ji Nanchen outside the intensive care unit that night.

He remained unconscious, his eyes tightly closed, as if he were asleep.

That night, Xu Jin's words echoed in her mind, and she re-examined the relationship between Ji Nanchen and Su Jinyun.

Her intuition told her that Su Jinyun and Ji Nanchen must have a past that was not to be told, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so excitedly when she mentioned Su Jinyun at the villa last time.

But if Ji Nanchen really cares about Su Jinyun, then what about everything he did for her in the past?

Shen Zhixia stared at Ji Nanchen with dark eyes, her hands unconsciously clenching at her sides. Was all of Ji Nanchen's concern and attentiveness towards her in the past just a lie?

She clearly and truly felt his care...

Two days later, Ji Nanchen passed the critical period and was transferred to a regular ward.

When Shen Zhixia received the message, she was handling company matters in the living room of Xu Jin's hospital room. She was hesitating whether to go see Ji Nanchen now when Xu Jin spoke first.

He said, "Xiaxia, let's go see Nanchen together. His condition was so critical when he was brought to the hospital that day. I won't feel at ease if I don't go see him."

"You don't blame him?"

"It's not his fault."

Xu Jin gripped the water glass tightly in her hand nervously. "Xiaxia, no matter why Nan Chen treats me, it can't erase the fact that he saved me in the past."

As he said this, he seemed to see the displeasure in Shen Zhixia's eyes, and quickly tried to smooth things over.

“I promise you, if he bullies me again after today, I will not just sit there and take it. I will definitely fight back.”

After hearing the answer that satisfied her, Shen Zhixia got up, took Xu Jin's hand, and went with him to the ward across the street.

When I opened my eyes in the ward across the hall, the first thing I saw was the snow-white ceiling.

The next second, I heard footsteps outside the door.

I instinctively closed my eyes.

I don't want to see Shen Zhixia.

Soon, the door opened, and the person who came in was not Shen Zhixia.

Judging from the footsteps, it sounded like an elderly person.

She sat down by the bedside, picked up a cotton swab from the bedside table, moistened it in a glass of water, and gently moistened my lips. "Mr. Ji, a lot has happened recently. Please wake up soon."
