Chapter 19 Pei Lie's Dark History

I don't know how long it was before the door opened.

Zhan Xu was still wrapped in a bath towel, holding the door handle, with a gloomy look in his eyes, looking at Shi Wan from afar.

Shi Wan rubbed his face in confusion and smiled: "You didn't eavesdrop on my phone call, did you?"

"I heard you crying."

Shi Wan laughed. Zhan Xu knew how to pick on people. Shi Wan often cried in front of him, but those were just cries of being naughty and not acting like a spoiled child. This time was the first time she really cried.

Shi Wan crawled over and hugged his thighs: "So you must become a man who can stand tall and upright, so that I can have a solid thigh to hug! Okay?"

She looked up at him expectantly.

He lowered his head, his eyes filled with mixed emotions, as if he was struggling.

After their eyes met for a moment, Shi Wan smiled, "Don't worry! I'm here! Just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor!"

After saying that, she got up and went to wash up.

Zhan Xu suddenly pulled her back.

Shi Wan turned to look at him.

Zhan Xu just looked at her with complicated eyes, but one thing was very clear: he was reluctant to leave.

Shi Wan was puzzled. Did he understand something?

After a long time, Zhan Xu slowly released her wrist and said lightly, "You sleep in this room."

After saying that, he walked to another room and closed the door.

Shi Wan watched his figure disappear into the darkness before turning around and going to the bathroom.

He prepared everything for her, bath towels, bathrobes, and even makeup removal wipes...

The smile on Shi Wan's face froze. Zhan Xu actually had another woman?

Otherwise, how could there be even makeup removing wipes?

She raised her hand and patted her stiff smiling face, without caring about anything else, and went to take a shower and go to bed.

When he woke up the next day, Zhan Xu had just come out of the gym, and his white sports shirt soaked with sweat showed off his body clearly.

If it weren't for that pack of makeup remover wipes, Shi Wan would really suspect that he was seducing her again. No wonder he was such a good kisser, it seemed like he had kissed countless women.

What a shame! I gave him my first kiss!

Shi Wan shook her head. She didn’t want to worry about such a small matter. What was a first kiss? The scene of Zhan Xu disregarding his future for her was still before her eyes. Why should she care about these small things?

"Get up so early?" Zhan Xu asked puzzledly.

In the past, I would never get up until midnight.

"There's a lot to do, so I can't sleep in." Shi Wan rummaged through the refrigerator, trying to find something to eat.

But there was nothing to eat, only drinks, so she gave up.

"What would you do without me?" Shi Wan sighed helplessly.

When they were abroad before, Zhan Xu was not like this. His refrigerator was always stuffed full. Zhan Xu could cook, and when they didn’t go out to eat, Zhan Xu would cook.

But now...

Zhan Xu laughed, "What would you do without me? You can't even cook."

"I will buy it!" Shi Wan retorted.

"I'll buy it too!" Zhan Xu replied casually, took out his cell phone, dialed a number, then turned and went to the bathroom.

Shi Wan curled up on the sofa again, flipping through the address book, looking for the person he was going to meet today.

Just as he was about to call Pei Lie, there was a sudden message from his high school classmates group.

"I heard Shi Wan is back, let's get together?"

Shi Wan gave up on the call and clicked on the group message. The sender was the squad leader Qin Bingyu.

Shi Wan felt a headache. Qin Bingyu was even more of a green tea girl than her. She had suffered a lot at the hands of Qin Bingyu.

But it would be nice to get together. I was worried that I couldn't find an excuse to ask Pei Lie out.

Not long after, Pei Lie was the first to reply: "What time? Where?"

"It's my private club. I'll give her a call to ask about the time."

"Sure, I'll notify the group." Pei Lie replied.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you guys please not launch surprise attacks? I'm in Country S!" The speaker was Shi Wan's little fanboy, Qin Shuochen.

He and Zhan Rongchuan were from the same class, and the reason he was in this group was because Qin Bingyu used the back door to let him in.

Seeing someone so excited to see her, Shi Wan smiled widely. She quickly typed: "It will take ten hours for Country S to come back. You can make it. I'll wait for you."

Qin Shuochen screamed in voice: "Sister, wait for me!!!"

Qin Bingyu tagged Shi Wan: "What time are you free? This way I don't have to call you."

"Anytime, no work for the moment."

"Then let's go at seven o'clock! If you don't know the address, just ask Zhan Xu." Qin Bingyu replied.

Shi Wan laughed. Qin Bingyu was really afraid that Pei Lie would misunderstand, so she had to mention it.

"OK!" Shi Wan replied.

Then many people in the group began to respond, including Jiang Yifeng. After all, the three major families went to visit the two major families, and it would be a waste not to go. If you can get some resources, it will be profitable. Even if you can't, it will not be a loss to meet the handsome men and beautiful women of their class.

After exiting the group chat, Shi Wan called up the video saved in the cloud.

The habit of taking videos to leave embarrassing evidence was all thanks to Zhan Xu. If they hadn't known that they could control Zhan Xu with just a small video, they wouldn't have taken videos to leave embarrassing evidence for no reason later.

Now I won’t ask for too much for these precious videos.

Alas... What a pity that she didn't encounter the embarrassing moment of Qin Bingyu, otherwise Qin Bingyu would not dare to go against her.

Shi Wan opened the folder with notes about Pei Lie, and there were two of them.

One was when everyone was poisoned by mushrooms on Shi Wan's birthday in the first year of high school. Pei Lie got a red bed sheet from somewhere and draped it over himself. He stood on the railing on the second floor of Shi Wan's house, full of scholarly vigor, and wrote passionately: "Follow me to destroy the demons! Save the people! Kill!"

He thought he had transformed into a heavenly soldier, so he jumped from the second floor wrapped in a bright red bed sheet, fell to the ground with his hands and knees broken, and suffered facial injuries.

Shi Wan was sick that day and did not eat mushrooms, so he saw this scene of demons dancing wildly.

Their home surveillance camera captured high-definition footage.

Shi Wan's condition worsened due to laughter, so he copied the surveillance video of this scene.

She was kind enough to send a copy to Pei Lie, intending to threaten Pei Lie not to pay attention to Qin Bingyu, but she didn't expect that it would scare Pei Lie so much that he didn't dare to come to school for five months for fear of embarrassment.

How could Pei Lie, who was always serious and had a poker face, accept the leak of such a childish video of himself?

So Shi Wan was determined to win tonight.

Shi Wan was smiling when a warm breath came from behind her and enveloped her.

She looked up and saw Zhan Xu's slightly frowned brows.

"The Zhan family and the Pei family are both in contact with the Jin family." Zhan Xu said lightly.

"Huh?" Shi Wan was puzzled.

"Jin Tiantian is twenty years old this year. She is the only daughter of the Jin family. Both the Zhan family and the Pei family want to marry into the Jin family." Zhan Xu explained patiently.

"Then what? What does it have to do with me?" Shi Wan looked confused.

Zhan Xu laughed, "That's nothing."

The doorbell rang and Zhan Xu turned around to get the takeaway.

The takeouts that rich people order are all different. They are specially delivered to private houses. Shi Wan suddenly felt sad. What kind of takeout did she eat after returning to China in her previous life? She ordered pre-prepared dishes that cost 20 or 30 yuan.

Look at Zhan Xu's breakfast...

Bird's nest, sea cucumber porridge, mushroom soup...

"I'm not pregnant, is it necessary to take so much supplements?" Shi Wan asked.

Zhan Xu coughed lightly and said, "If you want to deserve this treatment, I don't mind cooperating."
