NOVEL NEXT Chapter 164
Quan Zhisui stepped out onto the terrace and leaned on the railing, letting the cold wind blow against her face.
The problems and the pointer weren't coincidences—Wei Shixu had intentionally set them up. He really knew how to make things complicated, meticulously planning every detail. He had anticipated her psychology, calculated the force she would use to turn the pointer, and even the slightest movements when passing her the book.
Curling the pages?
Quan Zhisui didn't know; she didn't have the genius IQ of a top scorer in the Gaokao, China's college entrance exam!
Why did he bring up those questions?
Why did he keep reminding her over and over again?
Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends…
They had been in a relationship once, back in high school…
Fights, jumping off buildings, kissing…
Venture capital, business battles, overturning chessboards…
So many things had happened between them!
Heart-wrenching.
Her mind kept replaying his voice, the things he had said…
‘What? Thinking about getting married?’
‘There are many countries where you can get married at eighteen. Want to go? Marry me.’
‘Let’s get married.’
He had unexpectedly proposed to her twice—once on their eighteenth birthday and once after the college entrance exam.
Quan Zhisui covered her face with her hands, memories churning in her mind, refusing to be suppressed.
Was Wei Shixu toxic?
The Wei family were born bad seeds!
She sat alone on the terrace, trying to sober up, for a long time.
Until Li Fei pushed the door open and came to find her: “Boss sister~ Sister~”
Quan Zhisui glanced at her and said, “You’re drunk.”
Li Fei, in her drunken haze, asked, “I’ve never seen you get drunk, though. What’s your drinking capacity like?”
Quan Zhisui replied, “I can knock all of you out.”
Li Fei, already drunk and collapsed on the sofa, blurted out without a care, “Boss, you actually had an ex-boyfriend? Did you… sleep with your ex-boyfriend?”
Quan Zhisui frowned slightly, the strong smell of alcohol overwhelming.
She left the terrace and entered the room.
By now, everyone on the couch was either crumpled or asleep, several of them completely gone.
Xia Yun was barely standing, staggering with disheveled clothes, mumbling incoherently.
Yan Rong was rubbing his temples in a daze, and the next moment, Xia Yun fell into his arms…
Yu Zetian and Yu Dong'er were mysteriously lying together, completely passed out.
The scene was a bit…
Chaotic?
Quan Zhisui had always known these people liked to have a wild time privately, but she never participated or interfered. However, today, everyone was completely intoxicated, behaving in disarray with their clothes in disarray, hugging and holding each other inappropriately.
No wonder Li Fei had asked her that question.
Quan Zhisui raised an eyebrow; had she been gone for so long? What had happened?
Just then, someone walked up to her and handed her a glass of warm water.
Quan Zhisui turned her head and saw Wei Shixu, his gaze clear and composed.
Everyone in the room was in a drunken stupor, yet he showed no signs of being affected, his entire appearance pristine and untouched.
“What did you do?” she asked.
Wei Shixu spoke casually, “Oh, those women were trying to flirt with me, and the men were egging them on. I got mad.”
Quan Zhisui: “…”
Wei Shixu continued, “And I drank too, you told me to, so I drank the pure stuff. They just couldn’t handle their games or the alcohol.”
He dragged everyone else down in one breath!
After causing trouble, he had the nerve to wag his tail, seeking approval!
Quan Zhisui warned, “Don’t provoke trouble just because your liver function is good!”
Wei Shixu looked at her, enunciating each word: “It’s my liver, and my kidneys.”
Quan Zhisui met his gaze, her emotions suppressed, hidden beneath the surface.
Wei Shixu smiled, offering the glass forward: “Drink some warm water. You’ve been drinking too.”
Quan Zhisui drank the water and turned to leave the club.
Wei Shixu followed behind her: “There’s still a lot of content in that book, like kissing for thirty seconds, sitting on laps, and taking off clothes… it wasn’t about truthfulness most of the time; they were deceiving you.”
Quan Zhisui paused, looking at him.
Wei Shixu smiled, his expression slightly dangerous: “Your club members… they have a wild time privately.”
“I never joined in,” Quan Zhisui suddenly blurted out.
She didn’t know why she said it, as if trying to explain something.
Wei Shixu replied, “I just wanted to clarify. A few of them were looking at you with the wrong intentions, using that book as an opportunity.”
Quan Zhisui didn’t speak; she knew who he was talking about.
Wei Shixu continued, “So I’d rather annoy you and make you leave the scene, don’t play.”
Quan Zhisui looked at him: “Then what about you? You knew I could handle it, I wouldn’t fall for it, but you still brought up those three questions. It wasn’t just to make me leave; what are you trying to do?”
Wei Shixu was honest: “I wanted you to relive the process of us being in a relationship.”
Quan Zhisui continued walking, staying silent.
Fine, he succeeded.
Wei Shixu followed close behind: “You can get revenge on me.”
Quan Zhisui: “Sooner or later.”
Wei Shixu asked as he walked, “What floor do you live on?”
Quan Zhisui: “None of your business!”
Wei Shixu: “If you don’t tell me, I’ll buy the whole floor.”
Quan Zhisui: “25!”
Wei Shixu: “Why do you like the number 25? Is it because it’s my birthday?”
Quan Zhisui: “It’s my birthday!”
The clicking of their footsteps grew faster, and she even skipped the elevator, taking the scenic garden stairs all the way down, intending to walk home.
Because she didn’t want to be in a confined space with Wei Shixu.
“Quan Zhisui,” he called out from a meter or two behind her.
She immediately picked up her pace!
Wei Shixu suddenly changed his tone: “Zinian.”
Quan Zhisui abruptly turned around, her eyes flashing with intensity: “Who do you think you are to call me that?”
Wei Shixu smiled and approached her: “Why are you walking so fast? Don’t you know I’m not in good health, I can’t keep up?”
Quan Zhisui almost laughed in anger: “You’re not in good health?”
She stepped forward, her tone sharp:
“I’ll take you to heal, you stole my master! You lived in my little courtyard for two months, washing away all that dark filth.”
“Do you think you can repay the grace of Creation with money?”
“Your control freak tendencies! You were calculating from the start! Even a drinking game could be twisted by you!”
“Now you’re telling me you’re not in good health? Are you pretending again? How ridiculous, Wei Shixu!”
Her anger burst out all at once!
Everything from before and now…
Wei Shixu lowered his eyes, his black pupils faintly gleaming.
He chuckled softly: “Yes, I owe you.”
Quan Zhisui turned to leave…
Swish!
Wei Shixu grabbed her wrist, letting go just before she could swing her arm at him.
Quan Zhisui’s gaze was fierce: “What else do you have to say?”
Wei Shixu looked at her intently: “You owe me too, and it’s not something that can be settled with just a kneeling ceremony.”
He had researched it, swearing to the ancestors was the highest level.
The oath taken and the words spoken out loud… they were true.
Unpaid romantic debts.
Can you repay them? Quan Zhisui.
Quan Zhisui studied the person before her, and after three seconds, she proposed: “How about we fight?”
Wei Shixu laughed outright: “Why are you so cute?”
Quan Zhisui frowned: “I’m talking about a duel, a fight to the death, where’s the cute part?”
Wei Shixu: “Your ferocity is cute.”
Quan Zhisui turned again, not bothering to engage with him.
He’s delusional!
This time, Wei Shixu didn’t follow. He watched her figure disappear down the corridor, dressed all in black, her posture aggressive, keeping everyone at bay.
Internally, she was afraid.
Of what?
