Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Qin Nanyi’s Resentment
In the exquisitely decorated apartment, Qin Nanyi soaked in the bathtub, with white foam crowding and floating on the surface, covering her beautiful body.
By the side of the bathtub was a bottle of red wine. Qin Nanyi slowly sipped it, one cup after another, seemingly trying to drown herself in intoxication.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of urgent knocking came from outside the door.
Qin Nanyi frowned. The only one who would come looking for her this early in the morning was him... nobody else.
She slowly emerged from the water, casually wrapping herself in a bath towel. Her steps, unstable from the alcohol, took her some time to reach the door and open it.
On the other side, Du Wenbo stood, livid with anger. As soon as the door opened, he pushed it even wider with a smack!
"Qin Nanyi! Why didn’t you come home?!"
Du Wenbo roared loudly. When he saw the suggestive marks all over the skin exposed on Qin Nanyi’s shoulder, his anger intensified. He stepped forward, grabbed the bath towel, and tore it away - indeed, her waist, chest, and legs were all covered in red and purple marks!
Qin Nanyi lost her balance and fell to the floor, shivering as she made contact with the cold floor.
"Did you spend the night there again?!" Du Wenbo’s eyes filled with disbelief, "Qin Nanyi! We’re married! Do you understand that?!"
Qin Nanyi, annoyed, rubbed her temples. She had drunk a lot, and Du Wenbo’s bellowing was buzzing in her head, making her very uncomfortable...
Seeing that she showed not a hint of shame, Du Wenbo was even more furious and slapped her hard across the face!
"Slut!"
After being hit, Qin Nanyi laughed mockingly, a sneering expression spread across her face, "How is hitting me going to relieve your anger? You should go beat up my lover, shouldn’t you?"
Du Wenbo’s expression faltered.
Qin Nanyi continued, "He really wore me out last night, you’d best beat him to death. But what good would that do? The leader’s favorite isn’t just him - without him, there will be another, haha... You’ll find it hard not to wear this cuckold’s cap."
"You... you... you bitch, I’ll kill you!"
As he spoke, Du Wenbo raised his hand to hit her again, but Qin Nanyi’s laughter grew even more intense, "Hahaha! Du Wenbo! Who do you think you are? Your father was at the party too, he watched me being taken away with wide-open eyes and didn’t say a word. Even your father approves, what right do you have to hit me?!"
"Du Wenbo! Let me tell you! You’re just a pathetic loser who can’t keep his wife! Nobody takes you seriously! If you were worth a damn, they wouldn’t drag me out to entertain guests! Go on, hit me! Come on, hit me in the face! That Superpower User is quite fond of me now, you might as well kill me and see what becomes of you! Hahaha—"
Quivering with rage and eyes bloodshot, Du Wenbo glared at the stark naked Qin Nanyi, not comprehending how things had turned out this way!
Was it since Qin Sheng fell from power, or since Duan Shuhua fell ill? His wife became a tool for the leader to woo talents...
He truly loved Qin Nanyi!... Why? Why did it turn out like this?!
"I’m going to kill you... I’m going to kill you..."
Du Wenbo wrapped the bath towel around Qin Nanyi’s neck and kept tightening it—
Yet Qin Nanyi showed not the slightest fear on her face, instead taunting, "Is that all the strength you have? Du Wenbo, you can’t strangle someone to death like that..."
Du Wenbo’s hands trembled as he tightened his grip around Qin Nanyi’s neck even more, tears welling up in his eyes, his heart filled with immense pain! He truly loved Qin Nanyi, but why, why had they come to this point today?
"... right... just like that... put more strength into it..." Qin Nanyi’s words became laborious, coming in fits and starts.
The sensation of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and Qin Nanyi painfully closed her eyes, yet her heart was relishing the sensation of being on the brink of death. Now, she was a joke! She had lost her parents’ protection, married a man she didn’t love, and had been treated like a prostitute by her own uncle, paraded before those men... 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Just die.
Death would be a relief, no more facing all this—the incompetence of her father, the severe illness of her mother, the foolishness of her husband... She had enough!
Her neck was suddenly released, and Qin Nanyi collapsed on the ground, coughing violently.
"Cough!... Du Wenbo... cough, cough cough! What, you don’t even have the strength to strangle a woman to death? You spineless wretch!..."
There was no sound behind her.
Qin Nanyi turned her head to look, and her heart jolted!
Du Wenbo had fainted on the ground, and behind him was Han Jiaojiao!
Han Jiaojiao had knocked Du Wenbo unconscious, picked up the towel in his hand, thrown it on Qin Nanyi, and then walked to the door unhurriedly and locked it...
"Han Jiaojiao?" Qin Nanyi wrapped her body with the towel, skeptically standing up, almost believing she was hallucinating from being drunk, "What are you doing here?... How did you get in?!"
Han Jiaojiao found a chair and sat down, with an expressionless face she sized up Qin Nanyi. She had witnessed an interesting show and was now somewhat indecisive, unsure of how to deal with Qin Nanyi.
Kill her outright? That wouldn’t be satisfying...
Likewise last time, send her off to become an Empress to the Alien Species? But, it seemed a bit difficult to take Qin Nanyi out of the base.
"You’re here to kill me?" Qin Nanyi looked at her sarcastically, "To come all the way to the Yunan Base, you really went to great lengths."
Han Jiaojiao tilted her head and said coldly, "After what you did, did you really think I’d let you off the hook?"
Qin Nanyi was first taken aback, then laughed. "Yes, unfortunately, I slipped up and didn’t manage to kill you!"
Qin Nanyi thought Han Jiaojiao was referring to the time they left Beicheng and she had sent someone to snipe Han Jiaojiao.
But what Han Jiaojiao was actually referring to was the time Qin Nanyi had injected herself with the Alien Species virus and then deceived Han Yi.
"What, you came alone?" Qin Nanyi looked at Han Jiaojiao with a smile brimming in her eyes, "Quite brave. I always thought you’d forever hide behind your brother and act coy."
Han Jiaojiao furrowed her brows, "You’re not worthy to mention him."
Qin Nanyi raised her voice and laughed, "I’m not worthy? Hahaha... If it weren’t for your meddling! He was supposed to be with me! We grew up together! We were almost engaged! And what about you? What are you? You’re nothing but an ingrate raised by the Han Family!"
Perhaps because of the alcohol, her emotions became agitated. She pointed at Han Jiaojiao and rebuked, "What makes you so special? On what grounds?! Why don’t you, such a useless waste, drop dead! Where is Han Yi?! Call Han Yi to see me!! Do you want to see me dead?! Fine, let Han Yi come and kill me! Come on!!!"
"You’re drunk," Han Jiaojiao said quietly, watching her.
Scalding tears welled up in Qin Nanyi’s eyes as she lunged at Han Jiaojiao, hands tightly grabbing Han Jiaojiao’s shoulders, shouting loud, "Yes, I am drunk... I truly wish I could stay drunk forever! My father is old and neglects his duties, my mother was sent to the hospital with a heart problem, and I still have to force a smile and accompany those disgusting men! And there’s Han Yi... And him! I dream of marrying him, yet he sent me off to another man’s bed! Why has it come to this?! It’s you! It was you who ruined me! Han Jiaojiao! What gives you the right to kill me?! You should be the one to die! You!!! —"
Qin Nanyi completely lost her senses and grabbed a vase from the table, smashing it towards Han Jiaojiao’s head!
