Kapitel 11: Chapter 11 Verbal Thanks Are Worthless to Him

When Qiao Zhiyi woke up, there was no one by her side.

He was not there, and she felt a lot more relaxed as a result.

After washing up, she came out just in time to see Shi Jingzhou walking in from the balcony outside, holding a mobile phone in his hand.

When their eyes met, she quickly looked away.

"Come here," Shi Jingzhou said as he took off his bathrobe, revealing his back.

Qiao Zhiyi's feet refused to move.

For some reason, his look, his gesture, a word, even his breathing filled her with a sense of dread.

No one had ever given her such terrifying pressure.

She wanted to run away.

Resigned, she walked over to him and saw the wound on his back; she carefully helped him change the bandage.

Shi Jingzhou lay on the bed, acutely aware of her caution.

Hmph, scared of him, yet gritting her teeth to come closer—she really was in a tough spot.

"Are you really that afraid of me?"

Qiao Zhiyi's hand trembled slightly, touching his wound, and the fright left her face pale.

She was scared.

In her twenty-some years, she had never been so scared of anyone, nor had anyone ever put such immense pressure and fear on her.

She admitted that every time she saw his face, fear would naturally surge.

"Got the guts to take someone's place in marriage, but not the guts to face it?" Shi Jingzhou sneered, "Life is long, and you'd better work on that courage. I don't want to be left a young widower."

Biting her lips, Qiao Zhiyi wished the lotion in her hands were a knife so she could stab him once more in that wound.

After treating his wound, Shi Jingzhou picked up a black shirt to wear, dressing in front of Qiao Zhiyi without any sense of modesty, zipping his pants, and buckling his belt all in one go.

His appearance might have been ruined, but his physique was beyond reproach.

Qiao Zhiyi wasn't unfamiliar with the male form, and she knew what kind of build attracted attention.

She knew better; if Jingzhou's face hadn't been damaged, she certainly wouldn't have been the one marrying him.

People's initial recognition of each other is based on sensory perception.

She wasn't someone who despised the poor and loved the rich, nor was she someone who judged a book by its cover. However, in any aspect, Shi Jingzhou made it impossible for her to feel any sense of closeness towards him.

She wanted to escape, the further away from him, the better.

Shi Jingzhou handed her a dark-colored tie.

Qiao Zhiyi hesitated for a few seconds before taking it, unable to understand why he dressed so flamboyantly every day. With that face, he didn't dare to walk the streets openly. Was it necessary to be so meticulous?

Approaching him with the tie, she reached out her hand.

The man was tall, with a straight posture, and she had to tiptoe as well as maintain a distance from him. Tying his tie was a challenge and a torment for her.

"Did someone disturb your mother yesterday?" Shi Jingzhou looked down at her coerced expression, displeased.

Qiao Zhiyi paused, "No."

How did he know?

Was it surveillance, or...

"Mr. Sen Ge will visit the hospital tomorrow."

"Really?" Qiao Zhiyi's eyes lit up, and she pulled the tie a little too tightly around his neck.

She quickly let go and stepped back two paces, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Shi Jingzhou narrowed his eyes and adjusted his tie, his tone unfriendly, "Early in the morning, you've thought about doing me in a few times, haven't you?"

Qiao Zhiyi dared not breathe heavily; he had actually noticed.

Actually, it was only when she was changing his bandage that she had those thoughts. Just now, she was truly just too excited.

"I didn't," Qiao Zhiyi said, needing something from him, she had to lower her stature and quickly went over to help him with his tie again, "I was just too excited. Thank you, Mr. Shi."

Qiao Zhiyi's eyes were shining as she looked at him now.

She had waited several days and finally had heard the definite news.

In this matter, she should be grateful to Shi Jingzhou. Without Shi Jingzhou, there was no way she could have engaged Dr. Sen Ge's services.

Even though she studied medicine herself, she would never have been able to meet such an authoritative expert, even with all the money she had.

There was hope for her mother now.

Qiao Zhiyi felt joy from the bottom of her heart, and a trace of a smile emerged on her face and in her eyes.

Shi Jingzhou noticed the change in her and was almost humming a tune.

In front of him, she really didn't hide any of her little schemes.

"Qiao Zhiyi," Shi Jingzhou called her.

Qiao Zhiyi stood up straight, looking at him.

She couldn't fathom the thoughts of this man; his face showed no expression, and she could only read emotions like happiness or anger from his eyes.

Of course, in their days together, she had never seen anything that resembled "happiness" in his eyes.

An innocent gaze that appeared particularly pure, just like a spring, so clean that it made one want to spoil it.

Her delicate lips curved up, emitting an enticing luster.

Shi Jingzhou's throat moved slightly as he lowered his head to capture her lips.

Qiao Zhiyi's pupils widened in shock; her hand was still holding his tie, making it seem as though she was the one forcing him.

Just as she was about to push him away, a sudden pain shot through her lips, and she closed her eyes tightly.

"Verbal thanks are worthless to me," Shi Jingzhou had already let her go, looking at the fresh red beads of blood on her lips with satisfaction, he hooked the corner of his mouth, "Using my resources always comes with a price. Any objections?"

Asking after the deed if there were any objections was really despicable.

Qiao Zhiyi decided to think of it as a dog bite. After all, they had already kissed before; one more time wouldn't make a difference.

She shook her head.

To cure her mother's illness, she was willing to risk everything.

Shi Jingzhou snorted coldly and left.

Qiao Zhiyi let out a heavy sigh of relief, standing in front of the mirror she saw the blood on her lips had already clotted. Gently wiping it away, she thought, 'What a pervert that man is.'

Once her mother was cured, no matter what it took, she would make sure to end this marriage.

...

Qiao Zhiyi went to a nice private gynecology and obstetrics hospital in Jiang City for an interview, which had been recommended by her teacher.

After the interview, she was in a great mood.

She sent the good news to a friend abroad and planned to buy a bouquet of flowers from the florist for Mrs. Wang.

"Qiao Zhiyi," Bai Yue walked over from the side.

Qiao Zhiyi politely said, "What a coincidence, Miss Bai."

Bai Yue sized her up; though her clothes were out-of-date, she wore them well due to her good foundations. Aside from her attractive figure, she also had a face that was beautiful even without makeup, exuding a simple elegance coupled with an air of pride that was eye-catching.

"Jingzhou does not love you," Bai Yue got straight to the point.

Qiao Zhiyi pressed her lips together and stated the fact, "I don't love him either."

When Bai Yue saw the injury on her lips, fury arose within her, "If you don't love him, why would you marry him?"

"I remember Miss Bai is also married. You have a husband, yet you're fixated on Shi Jingzhou. Your words and actions express love for Shi Jingzhou. If Miss Bai loves Jingzhou, why did you marry someone else?" Qiao Zhiyi asked her calmly.

Bai Yue was left speechless.

Qiao Zhiyi did not intend to embarrass her or make an enemy of her. She might need Bai Yue's help to get free from Jingzhou.

"I mean no offense; I was just thinking that we are in the same boat and you should understand what it means to be helpless. If you truly love Jingzhou, then be with him openly and honestly. Of course, I'm not encouraging you to have an affair within your marriage. I'm just reminding you that you only have the right to pursue him if you're single."

"Your deep love for him—I believe that you'll do everything in your power to be with him. Miss Bai, if you love him, then be with him," Qiao Zhiyi wished Bai Yue would take Jingzhou away immediately.

She would be unrighteous, on the one hand, wanting to use Jingzhou's connections to save her mother, and on the other, unwilling to waste her life on a marriage with no prospect of happiness.


Kapitel 12: Chapter 12 Compassion and Sympathy for Him

Qiao Zhiyi arranged the flowers in the vase and chatted with her for a while.

Wang Shulan didn't ask any more about why Shi Jingzhou hadn't come, but just repeated her old tune, telling her to never mistreat herself no matter what she did.

"Mom, don't worry about me, I know what to do," Qiao Zhiyi said as she handed her mother a slice of apple, "Our good days are still ahead of us."

Wang Shulan smiled, looking through her as if seeing her deceased husband, "If your father were still here, seeing you like this now, he would surely be content. He never wished for you to be extremely rich, only that you would be happy. Zhiyi, a person should first take care of themselves, then others."

"Mhm, I remember," Qiao Zhiyi said, looking down as she ate her apple.

She would be happy.

She would also make sure her mother and brother had good lives.

Qiao Zhiyi didn't leave until Wang Shulan grew tired.

She went downstairs and then doubled back to use the restroom.

"Such big news as being pregnant, are you sure you won't tell Park Bom?"

"Why tell him? It might not even be his."

The moment she heard that voice, Qiao Zhiyi stopped in her tracks while opening the door.

It was Bai Yue.

"You still like Shi Jingzhou, don't you? Didn't you say his face was no longer bearable to look at?"

"Heh, as ugly as Shi Jingzhou looks now, only a blind person would like him. I used to drool over his good looks. Now I don't want to glance at him even once."

The disdain in Bai Yue's tone was clear, no need to see her face to know her expression.

Qiao Zhiyi was surprised to hear such words from Bai Yue's mouth.

If she despised him so much, why keep up an appearance of deep affection?

"Then why do you keep going to see him, acting like you're harboring lingering feelings?"

"A man I've discarded can't be picked up by someone else. Whether it's Shi Jingzhou or Park Bom, if they've ever been associated with my name, Bai Yue, they belong to me."

Qiao Zhiyi furrowed her brow.

After they left, Qiao Zhiyi came out of hiding.

So, affection could be feigned so naturally.

She had thought Bai Yue's feelings for Shi Jingzhou were genuine, but it turned out...

Why doesn't she become an actress? She'd certainly win an Oscar.

With Shi Jingzhou's disfigured looks, even if his family were wealthy, it would be difficult to find someone who genuinely wanted to spend a lifetime with him.

For some reason, she felt a faint sense of pity for him.

She walked outside and saw Bai Yue go to the gynecology department with a friend.

Back at Pu Garden, she noticed Shi Jingzhou's car already parked in the garage.

The words Bai Yue had said weighed slightly on her spirits.

Inside the house, Shi Jingzhou sat on the couch with his legs crossed, looking at his computer. He glanced at her, "Where did you go?"

"The hospital," Qiao Zhiyi replied, taking off her coat and heading to the kitchen.

Uncle Xiang wouldn't let her help and brought some washed fruit to the living room.

Qiao Zhiyi was absent-minded, glancing at Shi Jingzhou's face from time to time. What kind of explosion had ruined his face this way?

If he hadn't been disfigured, would Bai Yue be his wife?

Was his disregard for Bai Yue because he didn't want to burden her, so he intentionally treated her coldly?

"Why are you looking at me?" Shi Jingzhou caught her scrutinizing gaze, his eyes filled with too many strange things.

Qiao Zhiyi quickly looked away, grabbing a banana and peeling it hastily before taking a bite.

She ate too quickly and choked.

Flustered, she covered her mouth and forced herself to swallow.

Shi Jingzhou's eyes narrowed, he set down the computer, his gaze dark and piercing, leaving Qiao Zhiyi nowhere to hide.

She mechanically ate the banana, bite after bite, her mouth bulging.

"Qiao Zhiyi, could you possibly look any uglier?" Shi Jingzhou couldn't stand it anymore.

How could a woman eating look so graceless?

Qiao Zhiyi covered her mouth until she swallowed it all, then burped and quickly stood up, making a tactical retreat, "I'm going to the kitchen."

"Stay right there!"

"…"

Qiao Zhiyi's body reacted faster than her mind.

"Turn around."

Clutching the hem of her garment, Qiao Zhiyi slowly turned around.

This man was terrifying, always looking as though he wanted to devour someone.

Even in such a state, his temper was still so foul. Once her mother's illness was cured, she definitely wouldn't submit to his tyranny.

"What did you mean by the way you looked at me just now?" Shi Jingzhou sat leisurely, waiting for her explanation.

If he hadn't seen it wrong, her gaze held pity and sympathy.

Heh, she actually dared to look at him with such eyes, simply asking for death.

Qiao Zhiyi wanted to bite her lip, but upon touching the spot he had bitten, she immediately released it.

In his presence, she truly couldn't stand up straight.

"Nothing," she said, not looking into his eyes.

His eyes were poisonous, inescapable in his presence.

If his face hadn't been ruined, and coupled with those eyes, he could have made countless women fall for him.

Shi Jingzhou crossed his arms and watched her with a cold gaze, "I'll give you one last chance."

It was a blatant threat.

All the pity and sympathy she had felt for him before had gone to hell, fed to the dogs.

How could anyone feel a shred of sympathy for someone with such a terrible character and temper?

The saying that someone pitiful has a hateful side wasn't wrong at all.

"I just think that God is too jealous. You could have had everything beautiful, but he took it away. If your face hadn't been disfigured, you would have married a very beautiful and graceful, gentle and virtuous wife. Not someone as plain as me."

Qiao Zhiyi wouldn't feel a tinge of other emotions for him ever again.

This person, simply wasn't worth it.

Bai Yue wanted to play him, and he deserved it.

Shi Jingzhou narrowed his eyes, not believing a word of her sincere speech.

Before this sudden sentiment, who knows what she had filled her mind with.

From the initial acquiescence to the covert resistance later on, she was definitely not a submissive person.

"Plain and unremarkable?" Shi Jingzhou murmured these words, his gaze settling on her chest.

Qiao Zhiyi instantly understood what he meant and quickly crossed her arms over her chest, both embarrassed and annoyed, yet she had nowhere to hide.

Shi Jingzhou hummed lightly, "Since you understand, you'd better behave and not play any tricks on me."

Qiao Zhiyi's scalp tightened, feeling still too green.

The people she had met before were never like Shi Jingzhou, never had such strong presence and oppressive feeling, not even teachers had ever made her feel such pressure.

She wanted to be a tiger, but in front of him, she was just a lamb under the tiger's claws.

He said let go, and he let go; he said eat, and he would eat.

If resistance was impossible, then adaptation was the only choice. Once used to it, it would be less unbearable.

In the evening, Shi Jingzhou still lay on the bed as before, waiting for her to change his dressing.

Every time Qiao Zhiyi saw those scars on his back, she was curious what he had done to acquire so many scars.

"How did you get these wounds?" Qiao Zhiyi was afraid of him, but she was also very curious.

What kind of explosion had ruined his face?

How did he get this new injury?

No normal person could have so many scars.

Shi Jingzhou, with his eyes closed, said, "Don't ask about what you shouldn't know."

Qiao Zhiyi: "..."

It was her who had spoken out of turn.

The person who gave him that cut should have been more ruthless, to have killed him would have been much better.

As a widow, she could have inherited the estate, spared herself decades of struggle, and become a young and wealthy widow. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Lost in delightful thoughts, she didn't notice the force of her hands.

Upon hearing a "hiss," she realized what she had done, but by then she was already flipped over, her back slamming heavily onto the bed, her panicked eyes met by that fierce face.
