Chapter 905: Chapter 905: Ke Zhibin, I Wish You Well for the Rest of Your Life
Hen Nianzhen surveyed the familiar sights of the bedroom; over the years, every corner of the home bore traces of her presence.
The eye drops she used to apply every night still sat on the bedside table, her jewelry box remained on the desk, the coat she draped over the balcony chair hadn’t been picked up by anyone, and the room was still filled with the scent of her favorite perfume.
These traces were as if she had never left, still living in this world.
Hen Nianzhen let out a low sigh and turned to the man beside her, "I know the video on the Black Mandala Net has been deleted. You should live your life well from now on.
If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you by coming up here. If you meet a suitable woman, don’t foolishly trust her and offer everything on a platter."
Ke Zhibin looked somewhat innocent: "When have I ever.."
Hen Nianzhen let out a cold laugh: "Hah!"
Ke Zhibin really felt wronged and began to defend himself: "I’ve never been too good to you either. With two sons to consider at home, I couldn’t offer you much in the way of funds, nor did I indulge every one of my wife’s whims like others do. How is that treating you well?"
He was quite self-aware in this respect; he hadn’t been generous with Hen Nianzhen.
"What you consider as not much money is enough for ordinary people to spend for several lifetimes. What it means to you or to me is one thing, but others in the circle wouldn’t think the same, money is the most enticing.
You also gave me considerable power, allowing me to serve as the Vice President of Yahuang Entertainment, and entrusted me with handling billions in company funds, a few times even handing over the company seal to me without precaution.
Before Yihui and Xiaoming had their incidents, you never doubted me. If I were so inclined, I could bankrupt your company in minutes; calling you a fool is actually giving you too much credit!"
Hen Nianzhen spared no mercy in her mockery.
After all, they were a couple that had lived together for many years, and Ke Zhibin could hear the faint resentment in her words.
He sighed and looked at Hen Nianzhen apologetically, "Sigh, don’t blame me. I only have Yihui and Yiming for sons, and will not have other children in this lifetime.
Knowing they were in trouble, I resented you deep down, and the words I said were mostly unpleasant. But they are my life; if something were to really happen to them, it would be as if the sky had fallen."
Hen Nianzhen had many means at her disposal over the years, and never used them on the Ke Family. That was her greatest kindness.
She rolled her eyes: "I know you treasure your sons, and I haven’t touched them. Just because I didn’t doesn’t mean nobody else will in the future. Be more vigilant."
Ke Zhibin shook his head and said seriously, "There won’t be any more."
Hen Nianzhen noticed something odd: "Hmm?"
Ke Zhibin met her puzzled gaze and explained, "I won’t seek anyone else. Wait for me in the Netherworld after I die, and if you haven’t reincarnated by then, let’s continue living together."
"Pah!"
Hen Nianzhen was instantly enraged.
She darted out from under the covers, hands on her hips, glaring furiously at Ke Zhibin.
"You shameless man, so you were harboring this thought! I was wondering why you didn’t divorce me, it turns out you were waiting for this. After living a lifetime with you in the Human Realm, you still want to curse me in the Netherworld?"
By the end, Hen Nianzhen’s beautiful eyes were red with anger, looking particularly alarming and chilling.
Ke Zhibin felt intimidated, his hands gripping the covers tightly, and he murmured in a low voice, "If you’re not willing, we could just keep each other company in the Netherworld, not doing what husband and wife do."
Hen Nianzhen sneered, pointing at his nose: "You wish!"
Ke Zhibin simply thought she was too lonely in the Netherworld and tried to say something comforting, not expecting to anger her instead.
He also knew that despite Hen Nianzhen’s claims of numerous handsome men in the Netherworld, there were few with whom she could genuinely confide.
Hen Nianzhen’s lips curled up mockingly as she spoke in a strange tone: "Don’t think about being husband and wife with me in the Netherworld, we’re not from the same world, being with you is boring."
Ke Zhibin suddenly remembered something and asked out loud, "Do you still remember the noble from Northern England who bought you back then?"
Hen Nianzhen’s expression paused briefly, her face momentarily unnatural.
Her voice was desolate as she said, "He’s dead."
"Dead?" Ke Zhibin was startled and quickly caught on, "Have you two been in touch all these years?"
Hen Nianzhen shook her head, "No, after leaving Northern England, I never spoke a word to him again. It was always his butler who kept in contact with me."
Ke Zhibin heard the regret in her voice and asked, "How did he die?"
Hen Nianzhen’s eyelids drooped slightly, and the Puppet Power around her body released a low pressure, her tone indifferent, "Congenital heart disease."
Ke Zhibin said dryly, "Sorry."
He sensed that Hen Nianzhen was quite saddened, and although it felt very strange, a polite "sorry" still slipped out.
Hen Nianzhen’s eyebrows rose slightly as she continued, "A month ago, I received a call from the butler, knowing he was about to die. After not seeing him for more than a decade without saying a word, that man left me with just two words before he left, ’goodbye’, haha... When a person is dead, where does the goodbye come from?"
"Since that man is dead, can’t you find him in the Netherworld?"
Upon hearing such naive words, Hen Nianzhen laughed, a laugh that carried the innocent tenderness of a child.
"He was born in Northern England, which is in the western territories. The Netherworld could not accommodate a Puppet like him."
When she spoke of that man from the past, her words became unavoidably abundant, "He was only fifty when he died. When I met him, he was in his prime, the golden age for a man, but it was a pity I only accompanied him for one year.
He was a man of good character and manners, kind to people, a very gentlemanly man. He was also a very lonely person. During my lifetime, I always thought about having the opportunity to thank him in person.
If it weren’t for his hidden support all these years, I wouldn’t have been able to avenge myself after returning to my country. Sadly, the only regret now is that I will not have the chance, not in this life or even in reincarnation."
Ke Zhibin’s feelings were complex and difficult to discern as he bluntly asked, "Did you like him?"
Hen Nianzhen was taken aback, but swiftly shook her head without much hesitation, "No, I respected him a lot. I have been grateful countless times that I fell into his hands back then."
So many years of obsession and remembrance could not be summed up by the word ’like’, nor did it have much to do with romantic feelings.
In the most desperate moment of her life, that man emerged, shining with a brilliant light, illuminating her way forward, bringing hope to her bleak existence.
He was her lifesaver, something to remember at the bottom of her heart for a lifetime.
Ke Zhibin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself at a loss for words.
Looking at the sky outside, Hen Nianzhen smiled and said to the person sitting on the bed, "Ke Zhibin, I should go now. Here’s to your good life in the days to come."
Ke Zhibin showed reluctance, and with a touch of sorrow, he pressed on, "Will you come again?"
Hen Nianzhen shook her head, "This time, thanks to Miss Qin, I was able to come up to find you by getting hold of Black and White Impermanence. There won’t be a next time."
Watching her soul fade, Ke Zhibin spoke the words on his lips, "If there’s anything you want, you can send me a dream. Since Miss Qin is so capable, I will find her to help, to make things a little better for you down there.
And you, don’t shortchange yourself. It would be good to find a male Puppet you like to keep you company. It’s too lonely being alone."
Hen Nianzhen laughed softly, "You’d better take care of yourself, and not let the little demons outside hook away your soul, forgetting that you have two sons."
Ke Zhibin guiltily touched the tip of his nose, knowing there was no way to remedy his dark history.
Under his watchful eye, Hen Nianzhen’s soul became more and more translucent.
As her soul was about to disappear completely, he called out, "Nianzhen, take care of yourself."
"I know."
Hen Nianzhen’s relieved voice, tinged with a laugh, drifted through the room, reaching the ears of Ke Zhibin.
In the empty room, only he was left in the end.
