Chapter 08 We Disappeared Like This

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Jiang Chengxi suddenly picked up the pillow beside him and fiercely threw it at Wang Weiwei, pointing at the door, and shouted, "Wang Weiwei, are you crazy? Are you out of your mind? Get out of here, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

She smiled faintly and said, "I am Mr. He's friend." She turned off the faucet and her gaze paused on the faded stains, lost in thought for a moment. Finally, she looked up and said, "I have heard from people around Mr. He about his preferences. Mr. He likes girls who are content and simple. However, many people cannot achieve this, so they ultimately fail to win Mr. He's favor."

It turned out that it was all true. Wang Weiwei did not deceive her, nor did He Peicheng deceive her. She just refused to believe it all along. Even when she really saw Mingdao, she still deceived herself and refused to believe it.

Little Nine also knew that Jiang Chengxi was not in a good mood. The entire He family knew that Mr. He and Mrs. He were not getting along, and it was very bad.

His breathing was rapid, and it sprayed hot and heavy on her sensitive neck: "Darling, do you like me or not?"

He Peian glanced at her diagonally and smiled coldly, "What? Now you're pretending to be confused when it's clear to me?"

If it were a normal day, Jiang Chengxi would definitely have started a battle with the food as soon as she sat down. But at this moment, when she saw these cold and raw items, she felt her stomach churn, as if Sun Wukong was somersaulting inside. She covered her mouth in disgust and rushed into the restroom in the private room.

Where is she now? What is she doing? Jiang Chengxi occasionally thinks about her. But she knows that she has nothing to do with her anymore. The person who used to grow up with her and could share all the secrets in her heart without reservation, has nothing to do with her anymore.

Chu Jingfeng showed a compassionate expression and said, "What should we do? This guy is already acting foolish without even drinking any alcohol." Nie Zhongzhi crossed his arms and smiled without saying a word, while Jiang Zhengnan played with his wine glass and remained silent.

Hepei'an also knew when to stop. He snorted coldly and turned to enter the bathroom. Jiang Chengxi heard the sound of the door closing, and only then turned his head. Did he let her go or not? It didn't matter to her. She didn't waste her brain cells anymore and went to bed.

Her name is Chen Yan. I have been pursuing her for over three months. However, currently, there are three other people also pursuing her. The first one is called Zhong Wenyu, the second one is called Tang Jiang, and the third one is called Xu Yongzhe. These three names, I believe you should be familiar with, right?

Jiang Chengxi turned his face away. His tone was slow: "Jiang Chengxi, either give me an explanation now, or never explain it again." Jiang Chengxi turned his face to the side, silent, and the two of them faced each other in silence in the bathroom.

Jiang Chengxi looked at him, with a bewildered look in his eyes, obviously not understanding his meaning.

Jiang Chengxi suddenly widened his eyes, and there was a blank space deep in his pupils.

Now, she has really succeeded in keeping him from coming home. In the past, she had always wanted him not to come home so much, and today she has finally succeeded. Congratulations!

Hè Péi'ān sniffed his clothes and indeed smelled a faint fruity fragrance. Because the scent was very light and mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, he didn't notice it at first. It should be the scent left by the beauty who had leaned on him at the Nie Zhongzhi Club earlier. Although he pushed her away immediately, she leaned on him too fast and still got some of her scent on his clothes. He didn't expect her nose to be so sensitive that she could smell it right away.

I estimate that even He Peicheng himself did not expect it. The woman he invited has now truly fallen in love with He Peian!

Jiang Zhengnan and Louis Zhou, among others, were amused to the point of laughter by them.

Nie Zhongzhi drank while observing from the sidelines. Later, when he saw Chu Suifeng's foolish appearance, he laughed extremely "subtly" and said, "As the saying goes, 'where there's a husband, there's a wife.' Chu, have you learned something new today?"

He averted his gaze from her face, as if even a second glance disgusted him: "Jiang Chengxi, then I'll make it clearer: Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted! I will divorce you tomorrow! Now, get out of here, get out immediately!"

As I grew up, I realized that parents are innate and cannot be changed...haha...Do you know that during that time, I was constantly envious, jealous, and resentful of you? I always told you not to wait for Lu Yihang because he is unreliable. Do you know how I found out?

Under the popular science of Wang Weiwei, Jiang Chengxi finally realized. It turned out that He Peian's friend group were all influential figures, among them, Jiang Zhengnan, whom Wang Weiwei had actually popularized knowledge with a long time ago, the one who was supposed to get along well enough with He Peian to wear the same pants. And that Nie Zhongzhi is also well-known, young in age, yet one of the top figures on the Hurun Rich List. As for Chu Suifeng, Louis Zhou, and others, the information about each of them is quite startling.

He Peian suddenly turned around, his gaze firmly fixed on her, as if trying to see through her: "Yes, I will marry her. I will marry her right away!"

After a while, He Peicheng spoke quietly, "Chengxi, now that things have come to this point, are you interested in watching a play with me?"

Finally, it was spoken out. She no longer needs to live in fear. However, she also knows that from now on, there will be no turning back between her and him.

He Peian whispered in Jiang Chengxi's ear, "I'll play a few hands with them later." This simple sentence, I don't know if it can be considered as an explanation to her.

Jiang Chengxi said coldly, "He Peian, you are dirty yourself and yet you think others are just as dirty. Even a rabbit knows not to eat grass near its burrow! You know very well that Wang Weiwei is my best friend, and yet you... How dare you lay a hand on her?" She let out a few mocking laughs and then slapped her forehead, saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I had too high expectations of you... How can you have any sense of propriety and integrity with such low character?"

She took a good shower and then went downstairs for dinner.

Jiang Zhengnan gave a faint smile and said, "He, you didn't handle this matter properly! Today, I can't help you either!"

Ignoring has escalated to the stage of contempt! This is a fundamental issue and is very serious.

She even disdains to call his name and uses Mr. He as a substitute. Mr. He Peian cannot describe the anger and sadness he felt when he heard it just now.

Wang Weiwei let out a shocking and awe-inspiring sigh over the phone: "Jiang Chengxi, why does a creature like you still exist in this world! People who are second-rate, pretend to be second-rate, but you, you are truly second-rate, second-rate in appearance and behavior!" After a pause, she continued, "For these names, you should look them up on Baidu for general information. If you want accurate details, check Wikipedia."

He Peian's gaze fell slowly on her, and he walked slowly over, sitting down by the bed, lazily crossing his arms and giving Jiang Chengxi a faint smile, as if the matter had never happened at all: "Go ahead, take your time to speak."

Amidst this suffocation, He Peian slowly pulled out his hand and said, "Jiang Chengxi, at this point, do you think I will still believe your endless nonsense?"

He Peian stopped and said, "So, should I really go?"

Jiang Chengxi took a while before uttering a few words: "Xiao Jiu, where is he?"

Pregnancy! Divorce!

Jiang Chengxi thought that if the person now was her mother, Shi Su Jing, she would probably have slapped her father a long time ago. But, as a daughter-in-law, how could she dare? So she could only remain silent.

She stood up unsteadily and climbed into Xiao Jiu's car: "Drive... Drive quickly..."

Could it be that he wants to talk to her about the appearance of the woman in the photo? Jiang Chengxi looked up in surprise, understanding what He Peicheng meant. It seemed that He Peicheng could see her confusion and did not explain, only asking, "Do you think she is beautiful?"

Wang Weiwei looked at Jiang Chengxi with concern, then glanced at He Peian who seemed to be anticipating the storm. Finally, she picked up her bag and left without saying a word.

She ordered several pots of clear wine, slowly poured herself a glass, drank it in one gulp, and the mildly spicy wine slid down her throat and into her stomach, feeling warm.

Jiang Chengxi smiled for a moment and gently said, "I see. So, will you marry her?"

However, she also knew that her relationship with Wang Weiwei for so many years was over, just like a drop of wine cannot return to the original grape. She, like Wang Weiwei, can never go back to their youth.

As for the following words, He Peian didn't listen at all. He saw the person in the mirror slowly take a step back, with an unprecedented sense of despair and desolation in his eyes.

Jiang Chengxi shed tears, big drops falling one by one, and replied in a calm tone, "I love everything Dad cooks."

He Peian and Wang Weiwei! What a ridiculous and absurd plot! It actually happened to her.

However, over the phone, Wang Weiwei asked a very strange question: "Chengxi, why did you follow He Peian to Luohai when you were doing well?" This question touched a sore spot for Jiang Chengxi. She held the phone, extremely indignant: "He asked me to go east, can I dare to go west? Even if I have the intention, I don't have the courage!"

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't hold back anymore, covering her mouth, silently shedding tears for a long time. Finally, she went into the bathroom, forced a smile at the disheveled reflection in the mirror, and said to herself: "Jiang Chengxi, nothing is insurmountable, nothing is impossible to overcome. Everything will pass, everything will pass!"

Jiang Chengxi gradually realized that he might never set foot here again.

Jiang Chengxi smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't speak in riddles in front of wise people. Although I am not very smart, I know that He Peian can't hide anything from you, Xiao Ding, and Xiang Nianping." At this point, she lowered her voice for the first time and said, "Take me with you."

Jiang Dexi didn't know how long the roaring sound had been echoing in her ears. When she came to her senses, she saw the convertible top of He Peian's car slowly opening.

That night, He Peian was obviously in a very good mood. When he returned to the hotel, he passionately kissed her with great enthusiasm. He was so moved that his kisses were urgent and heavy, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Jiang Chengxi couldn't believe that he could calmly raise his head and look at He Peian in a daze. He spoke woodenly, "I'm sorry for disturbing you. But next time, it's better to do this kind of thing indoors. It's not appropriate to do it outside!"

She is facing them face to face without any obstacles at the moment.

Jiang Chengxi pushed open the door of the restroom, where a beautiful woman was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. Jiang nodded slightly at her, and the woman smiled back at her, as beautiful as a blooming flower. Jiang used water to wipe off the dark stains on her clothes. For a while, neither of them spoke, and the restroom was quiet.

Jiang Chengxi shook his head. Wang Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness I'm not pregnant this time!" She couldn't help but mutter, "Jiang Chengxi, I've seen people who are stupid, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You should be more cunning and stop talking about wanting to divorce He Peian every day. But if you get pregnant, you'll never be able to leave him for the rest of your life..."

He Peian also froze, for a long time, before getting up coldly saying, "Jiang Chenxi, you have become bolder." He hadn't used this tone for a long time, and Jiang Chenxi remained silent. The room suddenly fell silent.

What else can the two of them say in such a situation?

She gently closed her eyes, the water temperature was just right. If possible, she would lie down like this forever, lying down until the end of time, which wouldn't be bad.

Walking and stopping like this, we wandered around for a whole afternoon. Jiang Chengxi didn't buy a single piece of clothing, nor did she even try anything on. Xiao Jiu followed her silently.

Wang Weiwei burst into laughter, her voice sharp yet desolate: "Yes, I am drunk, but my mind is clear... Jiang Chengxi, oh Jiang Chengxi, only a fool like you in this world would be willing to treat me as a good friend..."

Jiang Chengxi lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly to Wu Jie, "Please ask Miss Wang to leave. Tell her I don't want to see her."

A pitch-black sky, I don't know when snowflakes started to fall, swirling and falling chaotically with the strong wind.

Wang Weiwei stood quietly behind her for a while before saying, "Chengxi, now that things have come to this point, let me make it clear to you. Once it's clear, we will have absolutely no relationship whatsoever."

She had just picked up her chopsticks when she heard a car driving into the yard, emitting a long and sharp screeching sound of sudden braking. She looked up and saw a red sports car through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the dining room.

Jiang Chengxi kept biting his lips, and finally opened his mouth. But his response was irrelevant: "He Peicheng, I want to ask you something."

Wang Weiwei laughed heartily for a while before finally stopping, and then walked towards her step by step with a sweet and gentle tone, just like before: "Not bad, Chengxi. You've been following He Peian for almost half a year, and you already have the manner of Mrs. He. Congratulations. However, there is something I must tell you."

He Peian closed his eyes sourly, not knowing how long had passed. When he opened his eyes again, there was no emotion in his eyes. He pulled her down from the railing, turned around, and faced away from her.

Hè Péi'ān looked at Jiāng Chéngxī's face, which was full of wonderful changes, and gently pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that made people's hearts beat faster: "If I weren't here, how could I have heard such a wonderful conversation just now?" After speaking, he turned his head expressionlessly and said, "Miss Wáng, I'm sorry, please go back first. There's something my wife and I need to discuss."

He Peian was probably a little drunk. As soon as he entered the room, he passionately kissed Jiang Chengxi. Jiang Chengxi had just fallen asleep and was awakened by his actions. This person is always like this, always causing trouble!

This is a new property, and the occupancy rate is not high. Looking out from the car window, only a few households with dim lights can be seen not far away. There is a flower stand in the garden, and in the winter, the withered branches and leaves sway in the wind.

The crowd burst into laughter.

However, he was completely oblivious to even the slightest pain!

He Peicheng could clearly see the blood on Jiang Chengxi's face fading away bit by bit across the table. He pushed the remaining three photos in front of her and said, "The one in formal wear is Zhong Wenyu, the handsome one in the sun is Tang Jiang, and the refined and elegant one is Xu Yongzhe."

She calmed down and stared at Jiang Chengxi motionlessly. In the darkness, even though Wang Weiwei's subtle expression couldn't be seen, Jiang Chengxi knew that she was smiling. Because she had achieved her goal, she was smiling, laughing so joyfully and freely.

In the darkness, only the faint laughter of He Peian could be heard as he said, "Since you won't speak, I guess I won't go anywhere either." After saying that, he pressed forward and engaged in all sorts of mischief.

Jiang Chengxi turned his head and made a face of grievance, saying, "Tell me, where are you going to fool around?"

Wang Weiwei has gone mad. How could she think that He Peian dotes on her? Jiang Chengxi looked at her in the darkness, feeling it was simply unbelievable.

Finally, she, who was almost frozen and on the verge of losing consciousness, got on the car blankly and said, "Xiao Jiu, let's go home."

That night, Jiang Chengxi stayed in the guest room, feeling drowsy and unable to sleep.

Now, when she saw Jiang Chengxi give such an order, she had already figured it out in her mind, so she responded, "Yes," and then went to the living room.

Jiang Chengxi, you fool... Back then, after you kissed Lu Yihang, you came and told me how much you liked him. When he kissed you, you were both flustered and delighted. You said it felt like there were many little rabbits running around in your heart, and that your heart was about to jump out... Look at me, after so many years, I still remember it so clearly... When I heard you say that, I felt jealous. I am not inferior to you in any way, so why does Lu Yihang like you and not me?... Look at me, after so many years, I still remember it so clearly... When I heard you say that, I felt jealous. I am not inferior to you in any way, so why does Lu Yihang like you and not me? You know, often, jealousy is like a devil, hiding in the darkest corners of the heart. It slowly expands, like a balloon getting bigger and bigger, until it bursts with a bang... Do you know what I did that night? You know, often, jealousy is like a devil, hiding in the darkest corners of the heart. It slowly expands, like a balloon getting bigger and bigger, until it bursts with a bang... Do you know what I did that night?

Jiang Chengxi then got up and washed up, and changed clothes. While changing clothes, she suddenly realized that she had gained a lot of weight recently, and it took her a long time to choose a black A-line skirt. Black makes one look a bit slimmer. After carefully examining herself from left to right, she felt that she could go out.

Shi Su Jing was completely unaware and kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay. Also, what other dishes would you like to have? I'll ask your dad to prepare them a day earlier."

Chu Suifeng hummed and laughed carelessly: "There is a saying, right? It's called 'showing off your love, dying fast!'"

Jiang Chengxi lowered his head, using chopsticks to stir the noodles in the bowl intermittently. After pondering for a while, he stood up and said, "Wu Jie, please invite her to the living room upstairs."

Niè Zhòng's extreme cooperation, nodding and bowing: "Yes, Uncle. Yes, Uncle."

Hahaha... He Peian looked up and laughed silently. Unexpectedly, he, He Peian, has been smooth sailing these years, dominating the entire Sanyuan City, yet he actually fell into her hands.

Niè Zhòngzhī: "Hè, you're almost there, don't provoke our brothers!"

Jiang Chengxi gazed at her. Such a beautiful woman, such a good friend. The two of them used to hold hands and go to the restroom together after class. How did they end up in such a situation?

Nie Zhong poured a glass of wine for Jiang Chengxi: "Sister-in-law, how do you like it here?" Jiang Chengxi sincerely praised.

Jiang Chengxi heard this and slowly closed her eyes. Although it was dark in front of her, her heart became calm instead. She finally understood why Lu Yihang left without saying goodbye. She finally understood why she, who had always had a good alcohol tolerance, would drink to the point of losing consciousness.

Later, she stumbled on a stone under her feet and fell to the ground.

Jiang Chengxi's eyelashes trembled incessantly, not only because of the cold, but also because she was afraid of what he would say next. He Peian lowered his head, his lips touching her ear, and said very softly and slowly, "I was only trying to make He Peicheng suffer and torment him."

Knowing that what He Peian said was a fact that she had known earlier, but in that instant, Jiang Chengxi still felt a heartache. However, she managed to smile and asked him, "From what I know, He Peicheng has pursued more than just me. So what about the others? Why didn't you marry them?"

He Peian hugged her waist and chuckled softly, saying, "If I don't touch you, who else should I touch?"

This guy is probably really drunk! He actually said these things! Kang Chengxi's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, feeling extremely awkward and wanting to leave.

Jiang Chengxi, it turns out that you were considering divorce from the beginning. You kept coaxing him, saying that you would marry him, and she never thought about finding a second one. She coaxed him into a daze, as if she were enchanted. These days, he just wants to go home as soon as he finishes his work.

Hearing his own voice, He Peian's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Jiang Chengxi, since you have been so frank, I will also be frank with you. Haven't you always wanted to know why I went to such lengths to marry you back then?"

The woman he was holding in his arms turned out to be Wang Weiwei!

Chu Suifeng: "Good, who's afraid of who!"

Jiang Chengxi furrowed his brows and scratched his hair, then said slowly, "Wei Wei, you've said so much, are you trying to say that He Peian has identified me?"

Wang Weiwei took a few puffs of cigarette forcefully, coughed a few times due to excessive force, and then began to speak: "The words I said in your bedroom that day were also intentional. When I parked, I saw He Peian's car parked in the garage... Later, when I entered the bedroom, I heard some movement in the bathroom, and I knew he was in there... Also, this time, it was the same. I seduced him in various ways..." She used various methods to get close to He Peian.

The whole world seems to have returned to the Ice Age, with nothing but coldness all around.

Wang Wei's figure was engulfed in complete darkness. Jiang Chengxi heard her take out a cigarette and the sound of her lighter igniting it. He could also see, from the corner of his eye, a faint flicker of crimson between her fingers, trembling slightly.

Jiang Chengxi replied to her with a few words: "Wang Weiwei, have you been drinking or taking drugs?!" How could He Peian possibly believe her? Has a part of Wang Weiwei's brain temporarily short-circuited?

He Peian coldly spat out a word, "Get out," and then spat out two more words, "Far away."

During these days in Luohai, there were banquets every day. He Peian enjoyed himself every night and would not return until the early hours of the morning. Jiang Chengxi, on the other hand, was bored in his hotel room, repeatedly pressing the remote control from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning, in a continuous loop.

Jiang Chengxi squatted in the corner, feeding the little turtles in the glass tank. She knew Wang Weiwei came in, and she knew she was drunk, heavily intoxicated. However, she kept her back turned towards her.

During the meal that day, Jiang Chengxi also had a few glasses of red wine. With the slight drunkenness and the annoyance of being awakened, she became angry for no reason. She reached out and pushed hard. With a snap, He Peian, who was unprepared, was pushed off the bed and fell onto the carpet.

He Peian's smile was ambiguous: "Chu, don't believe me? Then why don't I let your sister-in-law play a few rounds of poker with you? Nowadays, as soon as you make a move, you know whether you have it or not."

After she hung up the phone, she was still puzzled.

"Pa!" A crisp slap echoed in the room, followed by a deathly silence.

No one has ever deceived him like this! Never!

She paused for a moment, looked up, and met the gaze of the beautiful woman. Then she asked softly, "Hello, are you Mr. He's girlfriend?"

He Peian's mood has slightly improved, but his tone is still not good: "What does that mean? Blaming me for leaving you alone in the room every day?"

These days, He Peian has been leaving work very early every day. This afternoon, he left even earlier and went home around three o'clock. As a result, Wu Jie said that his wife had gone out at noon and said she had made an appointment with Miss Wang before leaving.

Furthermore, at the last class reunion in the bar, how could someone with such a high alcohol tolerance like you get drunk? Have you never suspected it? It was me, your good friend, who spiked your drink with drugs. I just wanted to set you up with someone else... How was that night? You had a great time with He Peicheng, didn't you? Do you know how I knew it was He Peicheng? Because that night, I slept with Lu Yihang, tried various positions, and did it many times... He has improved his skills after mixing abroad, and made me feel so good...

There is one more thing I need to tell you... Jiang Chengxi closed his eyes and revealed the secret buried deep in his heart, "And... He Peian, I also had a relationship with He Peicheng."

There are dedicated waiters responsible for dealing and shuffling the cards. Jiang Chengxi and Chu Suifeng played several rounds of Texas Hold'em. Under the repeated training of He Peian, her combat power has become stronger day by day. After a few rounds, she achieved remarkable results and gained recognition from others.

She clenched her teeth, but still couldn't restrain the trembling of her teeth. Hehehehe, she seemed to be able to hear that trembling sound. After a long time, she heard her own voice faintly echoing in this space, like the sound of the wind, and then disappeared without a trace: "If it wasn't me that He Peicheng was pursuing at that time, would you still marry her?"

From now on, she and Wang Weiwei will never be able to open this door again.

But now I know, all of this is fake. Only a fool like me would believe that she likes him. How foolish!

The late night outside is already below zero, and the cold north wind feels like arrows shooting from all directions.

When the car arrived at the entrance of Mingdao, the sky had already darkened completely. After not coming for a while, Mingdao still looked the same. Jiang Chengxi was alone in the private room, flipping through a list of enticing pictures, but they didn't arouse her appetite. So she instructed the waiter to let the manager decide. As a result, when the waiter in a kimono brought the dishes, the table was filled.

This time, Jiang Chengxi was a little annoyed and said, "As you wish."

Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at him in disbelief.

Both of them remained silent, looking at each other for a while. Jiang Chengxi lowered his gaze. Hei Peian's mouth slightly curved, "I heard that Mr. He likes girls who are content with what they have... Also, Mr. He likes to eat instant noodles!"

He Peian smiled slowly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually became stronger, as if he understood everything: "Jiang Chengxi, you know there is no way to divorce me, unless I don't want you or I die. So... these days, do you wish for my death every day, just to give yourself freedom? When I was injured, did you wish for my death, huh?"

She seemed to see He Peian squinting at her coldly, as if not. In front of Jiang Chengxi, it was like a curtain, completely empty.

Wang Weiwei has arrived, ordered a table of dishes, and waved to her as she entered, saying, "Hurry, everything ordered is what you like."

Louie Zhou laughed heartily and said, "Nie, your idea is good, I agree."

No, it's not true. Surely, she must have been mistaken.

A hot and spicy pain in the throat, she hoarsely said, "Xiao Jiu, stop the car."

This idea kept flashing through his mind. His gaze fell on Jiang Chengxi's face, and at this moment, she actually closed her eyes lightly, calm as if bathing in a gentle breeze.

Next to the mirror, there is a European-style chair and a corner table. On the table, there is a bouquet of flowers and two silver frames. Hei Peian felt his vision darken and instinctively reached out and grabbed something.

Jiang Chengxi's heart was filled with anxiety, and her intuition told her not to listen any further...! "Don't listen any further" - she knew it all too well. Everything had already happened, and was still happening. There was no longer any point in trying to stop it!

Jiang Chengxi felt like he was suffocating and dying, choking as he pushed him: "He Peian... I can't breathe..." In an unprecedented move, He Peian obediently moved away and gently kissed her ear: "Darling, don't move..." This guy is really drunk tonight, that's why he's murmuring so gently to her as if in a dream.

After a while, he finally realized that he was holding a photo frame in his hand. The sharp silver corners of the frame were pressing tightly against his soft palm. He loosened his grip slightly, only to see that the corners of the frame had deeply imprinted on his skin, leaving behind a trace of blood in the moment he relaxed.

Jiang Chengxi lifted the quilt and got out of bed barefoot. He grabbed his collar and pulled it up to his nose, saying, "Smell this and tell me whose perfume it is." Then he turned his head away, pretending to be aggrieved and angry.

The way of Nie Zhong: "He, if you want to leave, it's fine. Today, just consider yourself defeated and leave a card here."

There is a hand-painted Japanese artist on the cup, white porcelain with black patterns. In this world, perhaps only this color can last forever. ... As for the rest, hehe ....

Originally, she really wished to die every day. In that moment, He Peian truly wanted to let out a long howl to the sky. He was cautious of everyone around him, except her. He was indifferent to everyone around him, except her.

When He Peian came back late at night, this was the scene he saw: Jiang Chengxi was wearing pajamas, propping his chin with his hand, sitting cross-legged on the bed, and staring at the TV.

She suddenly realized that this was the real He Peian!

Why did I marry you? You know it best in your heart, and there's no need for me to say more. I have never liked you, not even a bit. He Peian, I hate you so much! In these days, everything I did with you, everything I said to you, was not sincere. Now that I've made it clear, it feels refreshing. I won't have to pretend anymore, won't have to please you and go along with you every day.

Jiang Chengxi shook his head slowly and said, "Wang Weiwei, please stop talking. You're drunk..."

He Peian stated the facts: "Indeed, there were quite a few. However, you were the only one who was not tempted before. Do you remember the one named Zhong Wenyan? Tang Jiang? Including the one named Xu Yongzhe later? They were all sent by me. The three of them, with three completely different types of handsome men, combined with deliberately created identity and power, have always been invincible and advantageous when it comes to the women around He Peicheng." He Peian's voice paused for a moment, and then he uttered the last few words, "Except for you! And the one you saw tonight at Mingdao." The three of them, with three completely different types of handsome men, combined with deliberately created identity and power, have always been invincible and advantageous when it comes to the women around He Peicheng." He Peian's voice paused for a moment, and then he uttered the last few words, "Except for you! And the one you saw tonight at Mingdao."

She looked at the door with teary eyes. She knew that she and Wang Weiwei were finished!

She can certainly choose to stay in a hotel, but she dares not. She has never been able to afford to provoke He Peian. If he comes home and finds her not there, he will definitely go to her house to look for her first. By then, the secret will also be exposed.

Wang Weiwei burst into laughter again, laughing so much that her body swayed: "Yes, Jiang Chengxi. I am sick, I am lowly, I have been sleeping with many men since I was sixteen. But what about you? Where do you think your moral high ground lies? Apart from your husband He Peian, you have also slept with other men! You are not any cleaner than me."

Half an hour after the order was given, his car arrived downstairs.

He Peian was above her, against the light, staring at her in this posture as sharp as a blade, even his voice was as sharp as a blade: "Jiang Chenxi, say it again."

Back home, as usual, I lit some aromatherapy and various candles, and then took a bath. I don't know if it's the weather getting colder or something else, but Jiang Chengxi felt like all his energy had been drained, completely exhausted like never before.

Unfortunately, this guy not only got drunk but also got drunk and confused. He bit her neck and wouldn't let go, asking, "Do you have it?" Her neck was itchy and numb, and the slight pain could be ignored. But if they continued to stalemate like this, in the end, they would probably have to "cede territory and pay compensation" and "sign an unequal treaty" under the rule of power and hegemony. The impoverished and weak Jiang Chengxi could only reluctantly respond with a few "uh" and "um" to get through it.

Xiao Jiu is probably under orders. Now he has become her driver, following her in and out. Seeing Jiang Chengxi staring intently at the clothes in the shop window, he went up and asked, "Mrs. He, should I go and swipe the card?"

One evening, they were hosted by a person named Jiang Zhengnan. During the gathering, Jiang Zhengnan raised a toast to her and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, tonight my brothers and I are having a game, can we borrow you for a while?"

He Peian's voice was hoarse, with an indescribable allure. Jiang Chengxi's body softened in the sound of his beloved voice.

On this day, Jiang Chengxi wandered aimlessly in the shopping mall alone, stopping in front of a display window. Although it was still winter, the window was filled with various bright colors such as light pink, goose yellow, three greens, and tender blue, which were almost dazzling to the eyes. At first glance, they were even more beautiful than the flowers on the branches.

After that day, Wang Weiwei had made many phone calls to apologize to her, saying that if she hadn't been so nosy, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. She also asked about her and He Peian, but the answers were evasive and vague, probably out of fear that she was being abused at home.

Miss Wu has always been sharp-minded. Although she doesn't know exactly what happened, she noticed that Mr. He Peian has been absent for a long time, and Mr. Jiang Chengxi seemed lost and dispirited that day. After returning, he slept in the study. Naturally, she understood that Mr. He and his wife are currently in a serious cold war.

On this day, Wang Weiwei, who could no longer bear it, used her phone's ringtone to wake her up from the bed and said, "How come you're lazier than me now? Get up and come with me to Mingdao for a meal. Your family's free card shouldn't go to waste."

Wang Weiwei has never said whether He Peian actually slept with her or not. However, it doesn't make much difference. Even if He Peian didn't sleep with Wang Weiwei, perhaps he has been sleeping with other women all along. Isn't it the same?

She didn't know why she said these things to this girl. Maybe she had drunk too much.

When He Peian took off his suit and walked past the television, she didn't even blink. This was a blatant disregard. He felt annoyed and pretended to cough twice, but Jiang Chengxi still didn't react.

Jiang Chengxi couldn't help but recall the words his mother and Wang Weiwei had said years ago: judging solely by He Peian's appearance, there would be many girls willing to pursue him. Coupled with his wealth, it would be an endless stream of suitors, with no possibility of fear or hesitation.

One afternoon, He Peian called and said to her, "Pack up, you'll accompany me to stay in Luo Hai for a few days."

He Peian pursed his lips, looking at her without any ripples, temperature, or expression, as if he was gazing at her, and as if he was pondering. Jiang Chengxi bravely reached out his hand and slowly held his hand.

After arriving in Luo Hai, she had a phone call with Wang Weiwei and reported the situation in Luo Hai. As a result, Wang Weiwei exclaimed in surprise, "What? Whom did you meet?!"

He Peian's lips suddenly tightened like a blade. He walked step by step towards her, seething with anger, and sneered, "Jiang Chengxi, tell me the truth, did you plan all of this? Did you make Wang Weiwei seduce me and then take the opportunity to divorce me?"

Jiang Chengxi: "Smell yourself, what's the smell on your body?" She casually threw the pillow over, "You were sneaking around outside, you should clean up before coming back."

The sky has already darkened, but not a single light is turned on in the living room, making the whole room pitch black.

It's done. He really heard everything. Jiang Chengxi's whole body went limp like a pile of mud. If she hadn't leaned against the bed, she would have collapsed on the ground by now. She really wished she could just faint and pass out. But no, she still leaned straight against the bed, her whole body like being hit by a petrification spell, unable to move at all: "Pei An, listen to me explain..."

At dusk, the lingering sun resembled blood, like spilled strawberry jam, sickeningly sweet to the point of suffocation. Jiang Chengxi's face turned pale as he leaned back against the chair.

Her tears fell down silently.

Little Nine hesitated and said, "Mrs. He, I really don't know."

At this moment, the woman sensually wrapped her arms around He Peian's neck, tilted her head back, and passionately met him with fervor... Her profile was exquisitely beautiful, rivaling that of any popular celebrity. However, Jiang Chengxi seemed to be struck by lightning, completely stunned: "Vivi?"

He Peian has now regained his usual tone: "Where did you see me stealing food with your own eyes?"

Wang Weiwei reached out and gently touched her own hot and painful cheek with her fingertips, chuckling softly, "Also, Chengxi... why do you think He Peian married you?"

Luyihang is already a stranger to her. It no longer matters whether she knows or doesn't know the secrets inside.

During dinner on the second day, He Peian politely declined the invitation from Nie Zhongzhi and others at the table. Chu Suifeng laughed carelessly and said, "Ha ha ha, now that you have clothes, you forget your brothers. He, your character is starting to have problems."

The woman blushed and responded with a hesitant "Um, who are you?"

After a long time, with a bang, the door gently closed. This small sound of the door seemed to knock on Jiang Chengxi's heart.

He Peian remained motionless, letting her hold onto him, and remained silent. The oxygen in the air seemed to gradually dry up, and Jiang Chengxi felt as if she were the fish on the verge of drying up and dying on the beach. She timidly called out, "Peian..."

Jiang Chengxi heard Wang Weiwei's suppressed voice slowly ringing in the dim light: "Jiang Chengxi, I am a filthy, despicable, selfish, and narrow-minded cockroach, so a person like me only deserves to live in darkness for a lifetime, right? But your husband He Peian is not any better. Do you know how he took over the He family back then?" Wang Weiwei's voice, with a hint of smile, sounded coquettish and charming, but it brought an inexplicable fear to Jiang Chengxi's ears. But your husband He Peian is not any better. Do you know how he took over the He family back then?" Wang Weiwei's voice, with a hint of smile, sounded coquettish and charming, but it brought an inexplicable fear to Jiang Chengxi's ears.

Jiang Chengxi stared at her and shouted, "Wang Weiwei, shut up, shut up!"

She held the small porcelain cup, played with it for a while, and poured herself another cup. She didn't know how many pots of sake she had drunk, only that her vision had become a bit blurry later. She picked up some sashimi, but the chopsticks slipped and fell onto the soy sauce dish. The white undershirt and green knitted jacket were both splattered with black sauce.

He Peian stopped talking, stared at her for a few moments, and then turned and entered the bathroom.

This statement is indeed reasonable. Wang Weiwei couldn't refute it either. After a moment of silence, she said, "Jiang Chengxi, have you ever heard of such a saying: When an unmarried man brings an unmarried woman to meet his parents and friends, it means that he has made up his mind about her. He wants to announce to the world that this woman is his girlfriend, that he has chosen her, and that he wants to marry her."

Thinking about the words "认定" that had been lingering in her mind, Jiang Chengxi swallowed her saliva and quietly said, "No, that's not what I meant." Even if she had the courage, she wouldn't dare admit it like that!

She wiped it with a wet tissue, but it was still very obvious. So she got up, put on her shoes, and prepared to go to the bathroom to freshen up.

He Peicheng: "Do you want to ask me about what happened at the bar that night?" Jiang Chengxi's face turned even paler, and she saw He Peicheng nod slowly. "Yes, Chengxi, that person was me."

He Peian sat down beside her: "Jiang Chengxi!" But he saw her startled and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost: "You... you..."

After the meal, Jiang Zhengnan arranged for someone to send Jiang Chengxi back to the hotel. He Peian then went to Nie Chongzhi's club with Jiang Zhengnan, Chu Suifeng, and a few others.

Jiang Chengxi's face turned pale, and he trembled as he asked, "Sister Wu? Sister Wu, are you inside?"

Jiang Chengxi suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar. She held onto a tiny glimmer of hope, hoping that he hadn't heard, hoping that he couldn't make out what she said... She tried to force a smile, her facial muscles trembling, and asked, "Pei An... What are you doing in there?"

After sitting down in the coffee shop, He Peicheng handed a photo to Jiang Chengxi and asked, "What do you think of this girl?"

Even though she has already cut ties with Wang Weiwei, Jiang Chengxi still couldn't stand the way He Peian spoke about her. She retorted, "Seducing... He Peian, you really know how to flatter yourself, don't you? The person by your side, Xiang Nianping, is a hundred times better than you. Seducing him is even better than seducing you!"

Facial muscles kept twitching on He Peian's face. He knew that as long as he let go, she would fall down like snowflakes. As long as he let go...

When Deng Hepeian came out, Jiang Cheng was in a drowsy state, almost falling asleep. Feeling Deng Hepeian's warm body leaning over, she quickly turned over, pretending to be angry and said, "Don't touch me."

He Peian's gnashing expression told her that every word he said was true. Jiang Chengxi stepped back two steps, feeling as if her heart had turned to ashes: "He Peian, since we've come to this point. If you want me to tell the truth, then I will tell you the truth: Every word you heard me say to Wang Weiwei in the bathroom last time was true. I did indeed plan and scheme in every possible way to divorce you. Every day I was married to you, I was thinking about how to divorce you! If you want me to tell the truth, then I will tell you the truth: Every word you heard me say to Wang Weiwei in the bathroom last time was true. I did indeed plan and scheme in every possible way to divorce you. Every day I was married to you, I was thinking about how to divorce you!

Louis Zhou echoed with interest: "Brothers, this is the first time in these years that He Ke has taken the initiative to admit defeat. This opportunity is not easy to come by. As they say, it's better to seize the day than to wait for it. So let's learn from our sister-in-law today."

Jiang Chengxi turned his face slightly and looked at the smooth marble floor like a mirror. He said lightly, "No need, Xiao Jiu. I don't like it at all."

Later, for a period of time, the memory was completely blank. When Jiang Chengxi came to his senses, he only knew that he was in the car driven by Xiao Jiu, with the constantly passing trees and street scenes outside the window.

Although Sister Wu despised Wang Weiwei in her heart, she still maintained her composure and said, "Please wait a moment." She then turned back to the restaurant and faithfully relayed the message to Jiang Chengxi.

He Peian raised a wine glass and sat down with Jiang Chengxi. Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Chengxi felt a little embarrassed and wanted to discreetly brush off his hand, but He Peian held him tightly and refused to loosen his grip.
