After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

"Were you just having dinner together? Then why were you smiling so happily at him?"

"He even put his arm around you as you left, and now you won't even smile at me!"

Chen Jingyan became increasingly agitated; Nan Shu had never seen Chen Jingyan like this before.

Seeing Chen Jingyan on the verge of exploding, a hint of worry and fear flashed in Nan Shu's eyes.

Chen Jingyan caught the fleeting fear in Nan Shu's eyes, and his anger was completely ignited, his reason being swallowed up by his rage.

"Why are you afraid of me? I'm your husband!"

Chen Jingyan stepped forward, looked at Nan Shu who was so close to him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Nan Shu's shoulder, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

"We're not anymore. Didn't I already send you the divorce papers?"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Chen Jingyan sneered.

"Last time you agreed to have dinner with me to trick me into signing the divorce papers. What about this time? What's your motive?"

Chen Jingyan's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but pinch Nan Shu's shoulder harder, causing her to feel a sharp pain.

"Chen Jingyan, let go! You're hurting me!"

Nan Shu struggled fiercely, trying to pry Chen Jingyan's hand away.

In Chen Jingyan's eyes, Nan Shu's struggle was proof of her disdain.

Chen Jingyan sneered, and before Nan Shu could react, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Nan Shu's neck.

A strong feeling of suffocation came over her, and Nan Shu almost fainted.

"Since you don't want to be with me, then let's die together!"

Chen Jingyan gradually increased the pressure on his hands, and Nan Shu's face instantly turned red, and she lost all her strength.

"Chen Jingyan...are you crazy...?"

Nan Shu's voice grew weaker and weaker, but her will to survive made her reach out and push Chen Jingyan.

Even so, Chen Jingyan's hands showed no sign of relaxing.

Nan Shu felt her mind go blank, and the scene before her eyes began to spin.

Her outstretched hand fell limply to her sides; she no longer had the strength to resist.

Seeing Nan Shu like this, Chen Jingyan suddenly came to his senses.

He released his grip in terror, and Nan Shu immediately collapsed softly to the ground.

Chen Jingyan panicked and quickly reached out to hug Nan Shu.

"Nan Shu, how are you, Nan Shu!"

Chen Jingyan shook Nan Shu in his arms, feeling very worried, fearing that something might happen to her.

"I'm sorry, Nan Shu, I'll take you to see a doctor right away!"

After saying this, Chen Jingyan picked Nan Shu up and carried her to the hospital.

Just then, Nan Shu slowly opened her eyes and spoke firmly and slowly.

"Put me down."

Chen Jingyan had sobered up considerably. Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, he immediately put her down and looked at her with a nervous expression.

Nan Shu took small sips of fresh air, the pain in her neck making her very uncomfortable.

A glaring red stain on his neck reminded Chen Jingyan of what had just happened.

Chen Jingyan could hardly bear to look at the marks he had left behind; he just stared blankly at his own hands.

What happened to him just now? He almost killed Nan Shu.

"I'm sorry, Nan Shu, I didn't mean to..."

Chen Jingyan looked up at Nan Shu, his eyes filled with regret and pleading.

As he spoke, Chen Jingyan subconsciously took a step toward Nan Shu.

Nan Shu was still in shock when she saw Chen Jingyan's actions. She was startled and immediately took a step back, looking at Chen Jingyan warily.

Noticing Nan Shu's actions, Chen Jingyan felt deeply hurt.

"Nan Shu, please don't blame me, okay? I really didn't mean it. I swear I'll never do it again. Please forgive me, okay?"

Nan Shu stared intently at Chen Jingyan in front of her, feeling that this person had become so unfamiliar that she could hardly understand him anymore.

"I almost died just now."

Nan Shu touched her neck, her tone complicated.

"I'm sorry, I think we shouldn't see each other again."

Nan Shu was afraid that Chen Jingyan would lose control of his emotions again, so she turned around and left the private room before Chen Jingyan could react.

Once outside the restaurant, Nan Shu felt her legs go weak.

She leaned against the wall and managed to get to the roadside, where she simply hailed a car.

Just then, a taxi passed by and stopped steadily on the side of the road. Nan Shu was afraid that Chen Jingyan would catch up, so she immediately got into the taxi.

When Chen Jingyan chased after her, Nan Shu had already disappeared.

The fear and resistance in Nan Shu's eyes before she left flashed through his mind, and he felt extremely remorseful.

At the same time, some inexplicable emotions quietly surfaced in my heart.

Chen Jingyan couldn't help but clench his fists.

Nan Shu was still in shock the whole way.

She never imagined that going out for lunch would almost cost her her life.

Having encountered this situation for two consecutive days, Nan Shu couldn't help but wonder if she should check the Chinese calendar before going out these days.

Back at the Qi family home, Nan Shu was still thinking about what had just happened.

In the living room, Qi Yuye heard a noise coming from the doorway, so he put down the documents in his hand and looked up in that direction.

Nan Shu walked in absentmindedly, her face pale.

"I heard from Wang Ma that you went out for lunch. Why are you back so soon?"

Qi Yuye's voice suddenly rang out, catching Nan Shu off guard and startling her.

Seeing Nan Shu's strong reaction and obvious fright, Qi Yuye frowned slightly.

"What happened? You don't look well."

Nan Shu snapped out of her daze, looked at Qi Yuye sitting on the sofa, and forced a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just that the friend I was supposed to meet didn't show up at the last minute, so I came back."

Nan Shu was afraid that Qi Yuye would notice something, so she made up a reason.

Qi Yuye narrowed his eyes, his tone somewhat displeased.

"Nan Shu, do you think I'm an idiot?"

Qi Yuye stood up and walked to Nan Shu. Looking at Nan Shu's pale face, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Nan Shu's hand.

As expected, Nan Shu's hands were ice-cold.

Qi Yuye frowned slightly.

"Why is it so cold?"

Qi Yuye's gaze swept over Nan Shu, then suddenly stopped on the collar that Nan Shu had deliberately pulled up.

Through the gap in the collar, Qi Yuye could clearly see a hint of red peeking out.

Before Nan Shu could react, Qi Yuye reached out and pulled down her collar.

A clear pinch mark appeared, and Qi Yuye's brows immediately furrowed.

"What's going on?"

There was a hint of worry in Qi Yuye's tone that even he didn't notice.

Nan Shu paused for a moment, then subconsciously pulled her collar tighter.

Seeing the worry and hidden anger in Qi Yuye's eyes, Nan Shu felt a little worried. If she told the truth, would Qi Yuye harm Chen Jingyan?

Chen Jingyan had done her a favor after all, so this was her way of repaying him.
