Chapter 263: She tricked her Chapter 263: She tricked her Shang Hexing’s expression suddenly turned cold. “I will take full responsibility for Wen Zhi’s follow-up treatment, just inform Nian Xun. After that, he need not trouble himself anymore.”

Having said that, Shang Hexing walked around the front of the car and got in from the other side.

Aunt Xu immediately tried to pull open the car door, but it was already locked. She had no choice but to tap on the window, “Miss Wen, you can’t go. If you leave, I won’t be able to explain to Mr. Nian. Miss Wen, Miss Wen…”

The car window was being tapped repeatedly, and the person tapping was very anxious, not moderating the strength of the taps.

Wen Zhi intended to roll down the window, but despite pressing the button several times, it did not work. At that moment, Chen Jinhai’s voice came from the front, “Miss Wen, it’s me who locked it.”

Shang Hexing glanced at her. “Are you regretting leaving with me?”

Wen Zhi shook her head to explain, but Shang Hexing immediately signaled Chen Jinhai, “Roll down the window.”

“Okay.” Chen Jinhai promptly did so.

Outside, after Aunt Xu shouted a few times, the window finally rolled down.

“Miss Wen!” Aunt Xu gripped the window ledge tightly.

Wen Zhi looked towards Aunt Xu, “I will explain the reasons to Nian Xun.”

“But you’re suddenly leaving with this man, I’m not comfortable with it.” Aunt Xu had never seen Shang Hexing before and was worried Wen Zhi might be deceived, “Moreover, you are still ill.”

Wen Zhi gave Aunt Xu a slight smile, signaling her to be at ease. “I’m fine, really good.”

Aunt Xu shook her head, “No, no, it’s not okay. I’m not comfortable with you going with this man.”

“Aunt Xu, he is my ex-husband.”

As Wen Zhi finished speaking, Aunt Xu also instantly fell silent.

Shang Hexing’s gaze fell on Wen Zhi, this time he readily accepted the identity of ‘ex-husband.’ He even thought that if he had known earlier that Wen Zhi had lost her memory, then his current identity would definitely be her existing husband.

At that moment, realizing the relationship between Wen Zhi and Shang Hexing, Aunt Xu’s expression could rightly be described as bewildered.

She looked at Wen Zhi, then turned to the man sitting beside her.

Even though she could tell from the man’s dress and demeanor that he was someone of no simple status, probably a prominent person.

But Aunt Xu never imagined that this distinguished-looking man turned out to be Wen Zhi’s ex-husband!!!

“Aunt Xu, rest assured, I am just leaving with my ex-husband for a while. He is not a bad person, and I will explain everything clearly to Mr. Nian.” After speaking, Wen Zhi waved her hand, and then the car window slowly rose.

Aunt Xu’s hand, which was grasping the window ledge, immediately let go. She stepped back and stood aside.

Shang Hexing said, “Drive.”

“Ah, wait a second!” Wen Zhi suddenly grabbed Shang Hexing’s arm.

He turned his head.

Wen Zhi felt guilty, but she had just remembered, “I forgot something very important.”

Shang Hexing asked, “What is it?”

“It’s very important, I have to take it with me,” Wen Zhi said.

At that moment, Chen Jinhai urgently reminded, “Mr. Shang, we don’t have enough time.”

Wen Zhi said, “Just three minutes, I need just three minutes…”

Chen Jinhai replied, “It’s not possible, Miss Wen, we really don’t have enough time. The item won’t get lost here; it can be collected next time.”

Seeing Chen Jinhai’s anxious expression, Wen Zhi dared not insist and had to compromise, “…Alright then, let’s go.”

Chen Jinhai sighed in relief. Just as he was about to start the car, Shang Hexing’s voice came through, “Go get it.”

Upon those words—

Both Chen Jinhai and Wen Zhi looked at Shang Hexing simultaneously.

The former was flabbergasted.

The latter was stunned.

“But Mr. Shang…” Chen Jinhai wanted to say they really didn’t have enough time, as the flight would take off in twenty minutes and the journey past would take more than twenty minutes.

At that moment, Wen Zhi also showed consideration, “Let’s not take it. Chen Zhu is right, the item won’t get lost there. It’s fine to pick it up next time.”

Shang Hexing said, “There won’t be a next time to come back.”

The implication was that he wouldn’t allow Wen Zhi to return here again.

Chen Jinhai understood Shang Hexing’s intention and had to hold his tongue.

Shang Hexing pressed the car door button for Wen Zhi: “Go.”

Wen Zhi’s heart was not quite calm, but she dared not delay and immediately got out of the car.

Calm was restored inside the car.

At that moment, Shang Hexing took out his phone and made a call: “The 8:20 flight to Licheng is delayed by fifteen minutes.”

Chen Jinhai, listening intently, felt profoundly moved.

Mr. Shang never made exceptions, nor did he easily exploit any connections. Holding a high position, he was always very cautious in his actions and words.

But between mobilizing the special police in Lin City, intercepting Shang Jing at the airport, and now causing the plane’s delay…,

The few exceptions he had made seemed to be all because of Miss Wen.

Time passed, minute by minute.

In less than three minutes, Wen Zhi came out, waving a small box in her hand and smiling, “I’m here, I’m here.”

A smile curled the corners of Shang Hexing’s lips.

But soon, the smile on his lips was suppressed as a Bentley approached. Through the glass, he saw Nian Xun in the back seat of the opposite car.

The Bentley stopped, the door opened, and Nian Xun stepped out with long strides, came down from the car.

His face looked terrible, and with a bang, he slammed the car door and walked inside, just as Wen Zhi emerged. Nian Xun stretched out his hand to stop her and quickly pulled her close, his hoarse voice laced with anger, “Where were you going?”

Wen Zhi looked at Nian Xun incredulously: “… Nian Xun, what are you doing here?”

Nian Xun’s face looked very upset: “If I hadn’t come, were you planning to just go with him?”

Wen Zhi was nervous: “No, it’s not me, I… ”

She faltered, and at that moment another arm grabbed her; she turned her head and saw Shang Hexing’s face.

He had also gotten out of the car.

“Let go!” said Shang Hexing.

Nian Xun met Shang Hexing’s gaze and said, word by word, “The one who should let go is you, Shang Hexing.”

The two men confronted each other, the atmosphere tense and hostile.

Wen Zhi, caught in the middle, felt a déjà vu, but the situation ultimately arose because of her, forcing her to shout, “Calm down! Can I decide for myself?”

Nian Xun huffed and let go of his hand.

But Shang Hexing did not let go; instead, he pulled Wen Zhi to his side, his possessiveness palpable.

Nian Xun scoffed, “She might not go with you.”

Yet, Wen Zhi remained silent.

One was a benefactor who had helped her with treatment expenses and efforts.

The other was her gentle ex-husband, still harboring lingering feelings for her.

She had to choose one.

However, at that moment, Wen Zhi’s inner balance still leaned toward Shang Hexing, and she could only say to Nian Xun, “Nian Xun, I might need to leave for a while, but I will come back, I promise.”

She knew Shang Hexing didn’t plan to let her return here, but now that she had promised, she had to come back.

Upon hearing this, Nian Xun didn’t get angry but simply asked, “Are you sure you want to go with him?”

Wen Zhi nodded, even saying, “He’s my ex-husband.”

“Ex-husband, haha, did this man deceive you while you were amnesiac?” Nian Xun’s tone was full of mockery.

Wen Zhi was stunned and immediately turned to look at Shang Hexing.
