After soaking for more than half an hour, Nanzhi dug around in Huo Sijue's closet for a long time before taking out the most inconspicuous item from the bottom and throwing it to Leng Lie.
There was a shower curtain between them, and Nanzhi gave him a clean bath towel, "Wipe it clean and put on clothes."
She took a deep breath, feeling relieved after having committed a crime.
After Leng Lie got dressed, he walked out barefoot. Although he was about the same height as Huo Sijue, his body was thinner and not as strong as Huo Sijue. The white pajamas on him looked empty.
In this comparison, Nanzhi actually felt a little indescribable, feeling pitiful.
While she was pitiful and cold, she was also very ashamed of herself.
Even though he is being manipulated and he can't get away, he still worries about him in his mother's heart. This is mean!
Thinking of this, Nanzhi's brows knit together instantly.
She said in a bad breath, "Go back after soaking. It's best to have a warm sleep to nourish your body."
"good."
She didn't expect Leng Lie to agree so readily, and just as she felt a little better, she saw him groping his way onto the bed.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Nanzhi is going to collapse, that's where she sleeps!
"I'm going to sleep here." Leng Lie was a bit rogue.
"What about my mother? What will I do if she comes in later?" Nanzhi stood there angrily with her hands on her hips and her hair not even drying yet.
"This is what you should worry about, I'm going to rest."
Nanzhi:? ? ?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
She was almost losing her temper because of the coldness. Besides regret, she still regretted it!
The cell phone suddenly rang at this time. Seeing Jiang Weiwei's phone number, Nanzhi's nervous palms became unsteady and he almost dropped the phone to the ground.
She locked the door and went to the balcony to avoid the cold weather before she dared to answer: "Wei Wei..."
Nanzhi's voice is as small as a mosquito.
"You still know how to answer the phone? I thought you never wanted me as a friend again!"
"What? Did Huo Sijue tie your hands? Did the man hold your arm down? You didn't even fart when you left. Do you know how many times I called you?"
"Nanzhi, you are very good. If you don't want my brother, don't even want me and the medical center. Is my brother a monster? Are you afraid of being like this?"
Jiang Weiwei cursed and vented his anger for several days.
She couldn't wait to rush over and pry open Nanzhi's head to see what was inside!
"Get rid of it. My brother wants to elope with you. He doesn't even want the family property. You just leave like this?"
"gone?"
Jiang Weiwei broke the big house!
She couldn't stop scolding her. Nanzhi opened her mouth several times but was blocked. She glanced at the bed cautiously. Simply, I was cold and tired after soaking for so long, so I was sleeping peacefully now.
"Wei Wei, she is your biological brother and I don't want to cause harm to her."
Friend, don't bully me.
Everyone in the capital knows that Jiang Jinxing will be in a high position in the future. Even if all the upper-class ladies are crowded out, she will not be in trouble.
"You're not smart, are you?" Jiang Weiwei was tired of scolding.
"My brother likes you. He just likes you. Others are chasing him to get rid of him. Now he is about to give you his heart. Aren't you happy?"
Jiang Weiwei's neck turned red with anger, "Nanzhi, if you still recognize me as a friend, you should make it clear to Huo Sijue. Don't fucking harm my family every now and then. My dad is so angry that he has high blood pressure. He doesn't care. My brother was crippled because of his fate!"
"The Su family is now asking for help. Either my brother will kneel down and apologize, or the wedding will be held in advance."
"My dad chose the latter."
"I don't believe it. He, Huo Sijue, didn't do this. If he hadn't sent my brother back and put pressure on the Su family, how could the Su family be like this and still keep going?"
Jiang Weiwei's curses became more and more unpleasant. Nanzhi held the phone, her joints turning white.
She gasped, "I know."
"You have no idea!" Jiang Weiwei scolded angrily.
"You don't know that my brother has loved you for so many years. You don't know that he has guarded his body for you. You don't know that he gave up everything for you."
"Do you know what these mean?"
"It means that apart from you, there will never be a second woman in his heart in this life."
"If you still feel a little guilty, tell Huo Sijue clearly and ask him to stop focusing on the marriage between the Jiang family and the Su family. Even if you don't love him, at least don't force him to marry another woman, Tu Zeng pain!"
Su Ling had already changed her mind, but Huo Sijue intervened. Now that the Su family is riding a tiger, they can only force the Jiang family to get married quickly in order to save face.
Jiang Jin was unable to find love, and now he was completely dragged into the water for a woman.
Jiang Weiwei is going crazy!
Hearing this, Nanzhi finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She clenched her fists until her nails were embedded in her flesh and bit her lip, "Don't worry, I'll ask him now."
When Nanzhi hung up the phone, Jiang Weiwei was still scolding.
What she was most afraid of was delaying Jiang Jinxing's future and affecting her relationship with Weiwei, but in the end it ended up like this.
Nanzhi huddled at the corner of the balcony and dialed Huo Sijue's number.
After waiting for a long time, the man's hazy and hoarse voice came, "What's wrong?"
Nanzhi's eyes were red, and the moment she heard his voice, tears fell almost instantly, "Don't you believe me?"
One sentence made Huo Sijue frown.
It was late at night here in Los Angeles. He turned on the desk lamp, took out his gold-rimmed glasses and pushed them up the bridge of his nose. He asked extremely seriously, "Why do you ask?"
"Why did you interfere in the marriage between the Su family and the Jiang family?" Nanzhi burst into tears, choking with grievance.
"I'm sorry enough for Jiang Jinxing. Can you please stop doing this? If I insert a woman you don't love and force you to get married and spend time with her, will you be happy?"
"You can kill someone with just a nod, but you have to torture him for the rest of his life..."
Nanzhi's voice was nasal, "You should let him go. He has done nothing wrong. I am not worthy of him."
After she said the last sentence, she cried completely.
She has not dared to call Weiwei these days, just because she is afraid that she will still hate her. She didn't even expect that Huo Sijue and others had already gone to Los Angeles and were still pressuring the Su family to get married.
Nanzhi thought that as long as she was obedient and didn't go anywhere during this period, Huo Sijue would calm down...
"You're crying." Huo Sijue's voice was gentle, and there was unbreakable pity in his eyes.
"Jiang Jinxing knew you before me, has been with you longer than me, and knows you better than me..."
"Then should I love him?" Nanzhi asked, "You don't know what love is."
There was silence for a long time, and Huo Sijue said in a deep voice, "Maybe I really don't know."
Nanzhi was his "first love" for more than thirty years. In his opinion, as long as a man is powerful and treats a woman a little better, a lot of people will be willing to flock to her.
In Huo Sijue's eyes, Nanzhi was different, but he was too afraid that Nanzhi would be the same as other women.
"As long as you promise me that you will never see him again, I will let go."
This is Huo Sijue's final bottom line.
He would never allow his woman to meet a man who had a peep at her.
"I promise!" Nanzhi said quickly, fearing that Huo Sijue would regret it.
The sliding door of the balcony was suddenly pushed open from the inside. With tears still hanging in Nanzhi's eyes, she saw a cold face staring at her like a hawk.
She was so frightened that she quickly hung up the phone.
"I've disturbed you." Nanzhi smiled, and fearlessly wiped away her tears before going in.
As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, a cold hand grabbed her waist tightly and dragged her to the bed.
Under the tremendous pressure, Nanzhi groaned, as delicate as a cat, and especially alluring.
"Call your ex-husband?"
Leng Lie clasped Nanzhi's hand with both hands and pressed her tightly under him.
"I don't like it." He leaned into Nanzhi's ear and said in a low voice.
It was such a soft voice, but there was always a biting coldness when it came out of his mouth.
"There is something wrong at my friend's house, and only Huo Sijue can solve it." Nanzhi deceived him, half-truthfully, "You just finished taking a bath, if you don't pay attention to keeping warm now, the cold air will enter your body and aggravate your condition."
Seeing Leng Lie still unmoved, Nanzhi struggled a few times and shed tears again. The grievances in my heart were like an opened jar, all spilled out at this moment.
Seeing that Nanzhi remained silent and her breathing gradually became heavier, Leng Lie reached out and slid his hand across her face, frowning suspiciously, "Are you crying?"
"Did I scare you?" He panicked for a moment.
Leng Lie doubted himself, so he touched it again and put the crystal water droplets to his lips, which made him more sure.
He suddenly let go.
Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and cried timidly.
What did she do wrong?
Huo Sijue was unwilling to let him go, and neither was Leng Lie. Jiang Jinxing, the only one who was sincere to her, also ended up being forced.
She slowly moved her body and huddled beside the bed, crying with restraint.
Leng Lie had never seen a girl cry before. He stood there helpless and uneasy like a child, completely different from before.
"Did I hurt you?" Leng Lie said uneasily, "I didn't mean it."
Seeing that Nanzhi still didn't respond, he carefully groped for Nanzhi's direction, held her face, and wiped away her tears with his thumbs.
Nanzhi was like a puppet, letting him manipulate her but never said a word.
Leng Lie was annoyed. After stomping back and forth a few steps, he sat on the edge of the bed, approached her and said cautiously, "I'm sorry."
These three words finally allowed Nanzhi to regain some clarity.
She looked at the strange yet familiar man in front of her in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Leng Lie's cheeks were slightly red, and he knitted his brows as if he was extremely shameless but afraid that Nanzhi would be sad. He weakly said again, "I'm sorry."
All along, no matter how threatened he was, Nanzhi was like a spring, seemingly invading everything. But she cried...
Leng Lie didn't know why he suddenly felt uneasy and irritable because of this woman.
I was irritable but didn't dare to vent, and in the end everything turned into being cautious.
