Chapter 96: My Heart Shattered Into Pieces

Wang Chuan walked into Pei Nanli's room, which he had never visited in his past life.

Since it was not his own home, the door was naturally left slightly ajar.

"Are you feeling better?" Wang Chuan asked Pei Nanli, who was sitting on the bed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chuan caught the pillow Pei Nanli threw with his right hand.

"Get out!"

Wang Chuan found a chair to sit on and remained silent.

The room instantly fell quiet; after a few minutes, Pei Nanli looked at Wang Chuan and actually closed her eyes to rest.

"Wang Chuan, leave immediately!"

Pei Nanli was about to say the words "despicable, shameless, and vulgar," but she noticed the door wasn't fully closed and didn't want her mother to hear; her mother would surely come in later asking, "What are you two doing again?"

"I saved your life; kissing you once counts as repaying some of the debt! Last time, who told you to run down the emergency stairs?"

Wang Chuan walked to the bedside and said in a low voice.

"Or, you can go out and tell your mother clearly that you don't like me; that what she saw of us being together every day during our four years of university was all fake."

"You~~!" The words on Pei Nanli's lips were blocked, and she could not speak.

Wang Chuan continued asking: "Last time you said you wouldn't date me and would wait until after graduation. I want to ask, after graduation, should we date?"

After speaking, Pei Nanli did not answer immediately; she pressed her lips together and lowered her head. That day, she had indeed been deceiving him; deceiving him was truly immoral.

Wang Chuan smiled lightly: "I know your answer."

"What do you know?" Pei Nanli asked, then felt a bit of regret.

She thought, Wang Chuan is such a smart person; could he not know the answer? Perhaps he just still likes her now and is willing to endure it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that; let's talk about serious matters. In ancient times, saving someone required giving oneself in marriage; I only kissed you once, which is not enough. I need your help with something."

Wang Chuan explained the matter of registering a company.

"Opening a company, becoming a shareholder?"

"Yes, your mother agreed too. We are going to register tomorrow."

"I don't know how to do business."

"Your equity is only 1%; a limited liability company requires at least two shareholders. You are needed as the other shareholder just for the purpose of registering the company."

Pei Nanli replied: "If I agree, are we even then? After registering the company, can I withdraw?"

"No problem, you just transfer your equity away."

"I agree." Pei Nanli spoke up.

"You have the day shift tomorrow; I'll find you to sign."

After speaking, Wang Chuan opened the door, said goodbye to Ning Hui on the living room sofa, and left.

Ning Hui came to the room door and said to Pei Nanli: "Xiao Li, Wang Chuan is leaving; you should see him off for Mom."

The two walked into the elevator; Wang Chuan pressed the button for the first floor and muttered to himself: "Pei Nanli, do you know? I come from the future."

Pei Nanli was stunned; she didn't know why Wang Chuan suddenly said that. Moreover, coming from the future? Did he think she was a three-year-old child?

"In the future, after you marry someone else, my heart shattered into pieces!"

Hearing "marry someone else," her heart gave a thud. Was she marrying Fang Yuan? How did Wang Chuan know? Did my mother tell Wang Chuan? That's impossible!

She lifted her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Chuan.

That sorrowful look made Pei Nanli subconsciously clutch her chest: "It hurts so much! Why does my heart hurt so much!"

Pei Nanli frowned, seeing Wang Chuan's mouth corners and nostrils twitching slightly, emitting a trembling voice.

"Really~~ my heart is shattered, falling~~ everywhere; it took me~~ ten years~~ to gather it all, and I became a heartless person."

Ding-dong, the first-floor elevator doors opened; Wang Chuan ignored Pei Nanli no more, walked out, and said, "This time I will stop you from getting married!"

Pei Nanli saw small pearls falling from the corners of his eyes.

Creak, creak, the first-floor main door groaned; Wang Chuan vanished from sight.

Wang Chuan walked quickly through the residential area, heading toward the main gate.

After Rebirth, he should have fiercely retaliated against Pei Nanli.

But his very first thought was, "You and I are strangers; no need to disturb each other." Because the ten years of pain in his past life had also shaped his past self.

His past self had no opportunity to vent the pain buried deep and long forgotten.

What he said today after Rebirth was spoken on behalf of the past Wang Chuan, his past self.

After speaking, the Pei Nanli before his eyes was no longer the Pei Nanli of his past life.

Nor was she the only one for his post-Rebirth self.

"Master, go to Mingzhou First Hospital." Wang Chuan opened the rear car door and climbed in.

The summer heat was blocked by the car windows; the air conditioning chilled and swirled inside the car.

The trees and streetlights along the street rushed backward, like life's time flowing rapidly in reverse, making Wang Chuan drowsy.

Wang Chuan was woken by the taxi driver and saw the main gate of Mingzhou First Hospital.

Getting out of the car, he stretched his arms. Beep-beep, he received a text message from Li Wei: "Chuanzi, if you're returning to the dormitory, bring two portions of wontons for me and Luo De."

Crossing the road, Wang Chuan went to a late-night food stall and asked the Boss for two bowls of wontons to take away.

A familiar white figure disappeared into an alley; Wang Chuan walked forward, wanting to confirm if it was her.

Arriving at the alley entrance, he looked up; the streetlights in the alley were mostly broken, and visibility was poor.

"Don't hit my younger brother! Don't hit my younger brother!"

Then, several screams rang out; in the dim light, five people surrounded two individuals. One was Shen Mianshuang, and the other was her younger brother, Shen Xiaobing.

To protect her beaten younger brother, Shen Mianshuang was kicked in the chest and instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Doctor Shen! I have already called the police!" Wang Chuan took several quick strides into the alley, helped Shen Mianshuang up, and glanced at Shen Xiaobing, whose head was bleeding profusely.

"If you don't leave now, the Police Officers will be here any minute," Wang Chuan said, shaking his Mobile Phone, which had already run out of battery.

The five men, dressed like petty thugs, showed no fear. "So what if the Police Officers come? Repaying debts with money is heaven's justice!"

Wang Chuan had already made up his mind: when the time came, he would seize the opportunity to drag only Shen Mianshuang away and let her brother fend for himself.

After all, Doctor Shen Mianshuang, on her very first day as an intern, had shown him great concern.

"Wait!"

The five petty thugs scattered, and one man emerged from the dark alley, revealing his face.

'Damn, this person... why does he look so familiar?' Wang Chuan focused his gaze to take a closer look.

"Doctor Wang, it's you." The man pointed to the stud in his ear. "My boss is Xin Yisheng; my nickname is Ding Ge. I'm very grateful to you for the Suturing last time."

Wang Chuan remembered now; this was one of Ding Ge's men who had been present when he performed the Suturing for Xin Yisheng previously.

"Shen Xiaobing, today, out of respect for Doctor Wang, I'll give you two more days."

With a broad smile, Ding Ge led the five thugs away arrogantly.

Shen Xiaobing spat out a mouthful of bloody Water, stumbled to his feet, and forced a smile as he said to Shen Mianshuang, "Sister, this Doctor Wang is a good Friend of yours, right?"

His open mouth was filled with blood. "Could you ask him to speak to Ding Ge on my behalf and lend me another ten thousand? This time, betting on football, I'm sure I can earn it all back."

Slap! Wang Chuan, standing nearby, lashed out with a palm strike across Shen Xiaobing's face, causing him to stagger and fall seated on the ground once more.

"Your sister was kicked in the chest, yet you show no concern!"
