Chapter 299: A dangerous confrontation (1)

Nana was feeling horrible for Jinhai for how he was blamed. The only thing that she felt was about how bad would Jinhai take this after knowing everything.

Jinhai slightly stiffened as he heard what she just said. A dangerous and killing aura enveloped him. His black orbs were shrouded in darkness as if he wanted to destroy the whole world. The intent in his eyes was crystal clear.

He now really wanted to kill Huian.

Nana softly tightened her arms around him as she buried her face in his chest.

Jinhai snapped out of his stupor. The lethal and bloodthirsty feeling slowly washed away as he felt his little wife’s embrace.

Jinhai rested his chin on her head and asked, “What did she say?”

Nana bit her lower lip. “I…don’t know what is wrong with her. I thought we could move on. But then she started blaming you all of a sudden for everything. She said that you let her fell from the balcony that night and that you purposely did that for your revenge.”

“Ho…”

“Yes. She said that you-“

Nana suddenly paused. She never told anybody what happened between Huian and her that night they were kidnapped.

“Nana?”

Jinhai gingerly asked as he saw Nana stop talking.

Nana slowly said, “Um…actually, it is related to the night when Tang Suyin, Huian, and I were kidnapped.”

When she said everything that had happened, Jinhai looked at her, shocked.

“What!? Huian did that to you?”

Jinhai had no choice but to fake disbelief and acted as if this was the first time he was getting to know everything.

He gritted his teeth in rage. “How could she!? How dare Huian leave you behind? You…you were so close to losing your life…”

But the terror that he felt just now when he recalled Nana lying in the shed, blood flowing out from her head and turning unconscious in his arms was all too real.

Nana sensed his fear and got even more furious with Huian.

It is clear that Jinhai just learned everything about it. How could it be planned beforehand?

Jinhai said, “I want to confront her right now! I will not let her go for this!”

Nana stopped him and said, “It’s okay, Jinhai.”

“It’s not okay, Nana! You could have died!”

Nana held his face between her hands and bent it to her level. She then softly planted a kiss on his lips.

“I am here right now, right? I am standing in front of you all well. That’s what matters. And now everything is going well with our and the Xiang families. Just… forget it now.”

Jinhai quietly stared at her. He cupped her face and deepened the kiss. Nana clutched his hair from behind as he swiftly slid his tongue inside, wrapping hers with his. He seized her mouth with lips and tongue.

As they separated, Jinhai saw her lipstick slightly smudge outside. With his thumb, he gently wiped it off from the corner of her lips.

He asked, “What else did she say?”

Nana exclaimed in utter resentment, “You won’t believe how more she could frame you! She said that those men who raped Tang Suyin were actually yours. You ordered them to do that. You planned the whole thing, and that’s how you knew what Huian did to me. And then she said something about letters. She saw those ocean blue papers in my purse and said that you were the man behind who sent her threatening letters after your wedding anniversary with her. Then she claimed that you already knew that Huian tricked you into the marriage. And that you are hiding many more secrets. I mean, how is that possible?”

This whole time, Jinhai was completely expressionless. He was silently listening to every word that Nana said and, in turn, everything that Huian spilled out.

His posture and the light in his eyes, everything said that a storm was brewing inside him.

“I see…”

Jinhai looked at her, distressed and hurt. “Nana…” he quickly grabbed her hands and said, “Do you believe her? I…I don’t know anything what she is talking about. Please don’t trust her,” he begged, “I think that she still doesn’t want us to be together. That’s why she wants to plant this misunderstanding between us. Please…I don’t want to lose you…”

Jinhai’s gaze and voice were desperate and pitiful. His forehead was creased into thin lines.

Nana widened her eyes. “Jinhai! How could you even think that I would trust her? I know you are innocent. I cannot believe that she can go to such lengths. She didn’t even think about how you would feel with all these accusations. You are childhood friends, after all.”

Jinhai asked, “Really? You trust me?”

Nana pouted and flicked on his forehead. “Stupid. Who would I trust if not you?”

Jinhai smiled and kissed her forehead. He hugged her so tightly as if she would disappear any moment if he left her.

He softly mumbled in the nape of her neck. “Thank you…”

Nana pursed her lips. “What should we do? Should we tell everybody about this? Although I feel bad for Uncle and Aunt Xiang. They think that she has changed for the better. They would get so hurt.”

Jinhai wrapped his arms around her waist. “Don’t worry about it. I think that we shouldn’t bother with it now. Tonight has been so wonderful for you. Let’s not ruin it.”

Nana thought about it and nodded.

Jinhai said, “Everybody is waiting for you. You go ahead. I will join you in a few minutes.”

The hall was just around the corner.

“En.”

As Nana started walking away, the air around Jinhai instantly froze. The warm and gentle light in his eyes was replaced by bloodthirst and ruthlessness. He clenched his fingers into a fist. He turned and saw in the direction of the room from which Nana just came out.

He narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“Now, it’s time to make you learn your lesson, ex-wife…”

—

Huian was resting her head in his hands, tired and defeated. She didn’t know what to do. She had no idea how to make Nana believe her.

And Nana looked like as if she would never want to meet her again. It was clear.

“If I just had any one of those letters…then Nana would have believed me.”

“What letters ex-wife?”

Huian froze. The blood from her face instantly drained, making her look as white as a ghost. She started trembling badly in place.

Huian slowly raised her head to meet the gaze of the man that bore into hers as sharp needles.

She turned pale.

She went blank.

She gaped at Jinhai as she saw his expression, devoid of any emotion, but it still carried such pressure that it made her lower her head in defense. It was instinct and a conditioned reflex.

Jinhai said nothing. He simply walked back, clutched her wheelchair handles, and started rushing it forward.

Huian widened her eyes.

“W-Where are you taking me?…L-let me go…Stop!”

“A very familiar place, ex-wife. You will recognize it as soon as we get there.”

Huian desperately struggled in her wheelchair, but it was, if no, use.

Jinhai stepped out of the room with her, forcefully dragging her wheelchair outside.

He didn’t care how terrified she was and just kept going.

Jinhai opened the door, and the cold air brushed past his face.

It was the terrace.

Huian begged. “Jinhai…let me go! Stop it.”

Jinhai sped her wheelchair so fast that she thought she would fall from it. She recalled how she fell from the balcony and how much did it hurt when she crashed into the ground.

“No…please stop…”

Jinhai kept on increasing the speed faster and faster, and just as they were about to reach the edge of the terrace, Huian tightly shut her eyes.

The two small wheels in the front went beyond the edge of the terrace just a little, and it stumbled the wheelchair in a tilted position towards the front.

Huian felt so horrified that not even a word came out of her mouth. Her forehead trickled with sweat. If she moved even a little bit, then she was at the danger of sliding down. Realizing this, she tightly clutched the handles.

The images of her falling from that height that night came flashing past her mind.

Jinhai chuckled sinisterly. “Should I let go of your wheelchair just like how I let go of your hand that night, Huian?”

Huian’s jaw tightened. She glared at Jinhai with tears in her eyes.

He coldly looked at her. “First, I warned you in the hospital and then tonight, but it didn’t affect you at all. I guess you assume that I have become too soft? Or perhaps I still treat you as my friend?”

Jinhai moved the wheelchair, and it trembled in that position, leaning to fell.

“You told Nana everything. But what did you get from her? She didn’t even trust you.” He sneered.

“But now I cannot allow you to spout nonsense anymore.”
