Chapter 159 Why does she know something that didn’t happen?

"I just feel a little pain, it's okay, go to sleep!" Shi Wan said with a trembling voice.

Zhan Xu sat up and took her into his arms.

She lay in his arms, limp.

Zhan Xu gently stroked her back for a long time, then asked, "How about we sleep separately?"

Hearing his reluctance, Shi Wan unconsciously buried her head in the crook of his neck and said angrily, "Are you tired of sleeping with him already?"

She wanted to take this opportunity to start a quarrel, but Zhan Xu's reaction gave her the most direct answer.

Shi Wan's whole body was frozen, not daring to provoke him even a little.

Zhan Xu raised the corners of his lips slightly, without saying anything, he raised his hand to turn off the lights, and just held her until she fell into a deep sleep.

He put her down very gently and got up very gently. He put on a bathrobe, walked out of the room, and sat down on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The sofa was custom-made, and this position was also Shi Wan's favorite, especially in the villa abroad. She always liked to curl up on the sofa, either staring at the lake outside the window, or reading or watching TV shows.

During the years when she studied abroad with him, Zhan Xu was actually very busy. He was so busy that he had no time to play with her or eat with her, but they lived an unusually comfortable life.

Every time he came home, he could see her curled up on this sofa.

When he carried her back to the room, she would wake up dazedly and murmur, "Why did you come back just now?"

But she didn't listen to his explanation and fell into a deep sleep again, as if she had forced herself to wake up just to make sure he got home safely.

At that time, Zhan Xu knew that they could live a good life.

Can……

The smile on Zhan Xu's lips was very bitter. He took out his cigarette out of habit, put one in his mouth, and paused to light it. After a moment, he threw the cigarette and the cigarette box into the trash can, and then dialed a number.

Pei Cheng's call finally got through.

Pei Cheng answered the call slowly, but he still got through.

It was rare that Pei Cheng took the initiative to speak first: "Have I convinced you?"

His voice was still weak, but it carried a hint of sadness that was easily noticeable.

Zhan Xu was about to take a cigarette out of habit. He glanced at the trash can, pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, and asked lightly: "Aren't you sad?"

Pei Cheng smiled lightly, "If you feel bad, then deal with the Jin family as soon as possible."

Zhan Xu leaned back on the sofa: "With your ability, it is more than enough to destroy the Jin family. Why put your hope on me? Why do you have to implicate an innocent girl?"

"I can kill the entire Jin family, but I want to uproot them completely. And she is not innocent anymore."

Zhan Xu chuckled sarcastically: "Not innocent? If you hadn't attacked her at the beginning, the problems of the Jin family wouldn't have been discovered until recently. You know my ambitions. If it weren't for you, what three major families would there be today? The Jin family and the Pei family should have been kicked out long ago. Why is it like this now?"

What Zhan Xu said was right, and Pei Cheng also knew that the 18-year-old Zhan Xu’s first goal was to swallow up the Pei family. If the Pei family had not felt the crisis, they would not have taken the risk to attack Zhan Nanyi.

Pei Cheng's move was an accidental success. If he had attacked Zhan Nanyi, Zhan Xu might not have stopped so easily.

Zhan Xu suppressed his arrogance. He knew that it was also his fault for being young and frivolous. He was too young to have imagined that the so-called unclean things could be such dirty means. He also never thought that such a thing would happen when she was out of his sight for only ten minutes!

Zhan Xu stood up, went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice water, raised his head and took a big sip, then asked calmly: "How did she know something that hasn't happened yet?"

Pei Cheng was stunned for only a moment, then chuckled helplessly. Even if Shi Wan wanted to hide it, he would definitely expose the flaws unintentionally.

What's more, the opponent is Zhan Xu.

Pei Cheng remained silent for a long time.

Zhan Xu asked again: "Why?"

If it was just about Cheng Xiaoxian's scientific research, Zhan Xu could still understand that Pei Cheng was willing to reveal the initiative for the sake of national affairs, but Lu Zhixia was participating in a variety show, no matter what she would encounter, Pei Cheng would not harm his body for such a trivial matter as Lu Zhixia.

Pei Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally chose not to say anything and hung up the phone.

Zhan Xu was slightly stunned and did not fight back. Pei Cheng's evasive attitude was obvious.

He looked towards the master bedroom. Why?

The next day, when Zhan Xu went out, Shi Wan was still sleeping.

After a while, Shi Wan's phone lit up, and it was a message.

She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't care at all.

Zhan Xu was driving when he received a call. The other party said, "After seeing your car coming out, the man sent a message and then left."

"Keep staring."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Xu turned the car around and went back.

When I returned home again, Shi Wan was still sleeping. She had no idea that he had left and came back.

Zhan Xu picked up her phone which was charging, unlocked it, and checked the latest message she received.

"If you want to know the real cause of your grandfather's death, come and participate in "One Against a Hundred". No more waiting."

Zhan Xu frowned. This "One Against a Hundred" was the variety show that Director Li mentioned yesterday. Li Yao was going to participate and Lu Zhixia was also joining.

Who is this variety show setting up for?

Since he knew that Mr. Fu's death was not an accident, Zhan Xu naturally had ways to investigate the matter thoroughly, so there was no need to let Shi Wan take risks.

He was about to delete the message, but looked at Shi Wan again, gave up, put the phone down, and walked out silently again.

He wanted to see Shi Wan's reaction when he heard the news.

I slept until the afternoon, and the first thing I did was check my missed calls and messages.

Zhan Xu: "Call me when you wake up, I'll have someone bring you food."

Shi Wan was half asleep, squinted her eyes and smiled, and replied: "I want something sour!"

Soon, Zhan Xu called and said casually, "I want a daughter more."

Zhan Junxiong and his assistants who were sitting in the office suddenly held their breath.

Zhan Xu paid no attention to the people around him. He was talking on the phone and looking at documents.

Shi Wan said disdainfully: "Tsk! If my son hears this, he will be angry!"

As she spoke, she exited the chat interface, checked WeChat, and then checked her text messages.

Suddenly, she froze.

Zhan Xu noticed the change in the atmosphere on her side, and said nonchalantly again: "I would have done IVF earlier, a boy and a girl would be perfect."

Shi Wan didn't say anything more and hung up the phone silently.

Zhan Xu stopped being nonchalant and frowned slightly.

Zhan Junxiong was about to ask whether it was true or not, but was silenced by the cold air surrounding Zhan Xu.

After a moment, Zhan Xu put his phone aside and said to his assistant, "Check Director Sun and the cast list of "One Against a Hundred"."

The assistant couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Shi is pregnant, why are you still going?"

Zhan Xu was slightly startled, his brows relaxed instantly, and he almost couldn't hold back his smile, and said lightly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Zhan Junxiong wanted to take the opportunity to ask something, but then he shut his mouth again.

This son is too opinionated and he can't get a word in.
