Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

Chapter 88 Listening to a Man's Heartbeat

She absolutely couldn't get caught, so Tian Zhixia softened slightly, "You've already taken the things back, what more do you want?"

"Not pretending anymore?" Jiang Liwu asked indifferently.

Tian Zhixia's face turned pale at the sarcasm. "Even if you call the police, they can't arrest me. At most, they can give me a verbal warning. After all, wood carvings aren't worth much money and don't meet the criteria for filing a case."

"Besides, I didn't steal the wood carving in the first place; I picked it up."

"You're very knowledgeable. What about secretly filming, stalking, tailing, illegally obtaining other people's hotel room information and travel information, and burglary?" These crimes were learned from Xiang Rui. Since Xiang Rui could say them, there must be evidence.

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhixia's eyes widened suddenly, flustered and wary. She thought that if Jiang Liwu could say it so accurately, there must be evidence. So she immediately stopped being arrogant and said, "Sister and brother, I'm sorry, can we handle this privately?"

"I'm still a child." Tian Zhixia hunched her shoulders and hugged her bag tightly, making her look even thinner and more pitiful.

Jiang Liwu was not fooled by her feigned weakness. "Looking at children older than me?"

Her face contorted slightly, and Tian Zhixia bit her lip. "If you don't believe me, I'll show you my ID card."

Shang Tingyan came to Jiang Liwu's side, while Tian Zhixia looked down and rummaged through her bag.

The next second, she suddenly pulled out a bottle of pepper spray and sprayed it fiercely at Jiang Liwu's face. The extremely strong and pungent smell of pepper spray mixed with wasabi rushed out, and even from an arm's length away, Tian Zhixia herself coughed twice from the choking.

Jiang Liwu was already on guard against her. When she noticed that Jiang Liwu paused when she took out her bag, she raised her hand and turned her face to block her.

Shang Tingyan reacted quickly, shouting, "Be careful!" He shielded Jiang Liwu while delivering a powerful and domineering kick.

His legs were extremely long, and he kicked Tian Zhixia several meters away in one go. Tian Zhixia flew backward, and the spray also slipped from her hand. She crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a painful cry, and almost vomited blood.

Shang Tingyan held Jiang Liwu tightly in his arms, the pungent smell of smoke swirling around him, most of it settling on his back.

The first thing Jiang Liwu smelled wasn't the pungent, spicy scent, but rather the cool, steady woody cedar aroma and the aggressive scent of hormones emanating from the man.

I could clearly hear the man's heartbeat, one beat after another, steady and powerful.

Jiang Liwu was stunned, and then she unconsciously became a little greedy, nuzzling her head closer, wanting to hear more of the man's heartbeat.

Before the world restarted, the man's heartbeat faded in her arms, but now his vibrant life force gives her a sense of peace and contentment.

Seeing Jiang Liwu's affectionate gesture, Shang Tingyan felt a burning sensation in his chest. He remained calm and composed on the surface, but his heart was beating faster.

After a while, once the dust had settled and the pungent smell had mostly dissipated, Shang Tingyan finally released the person. "I apologize for the offense. Are you alright?"

Jiang Liwu met the man's deep-set, handsome eyes and shook her head. "It's nothing."

She pinched her index finger with the rounded tip of her nail to steady herself.

Look at the people on the ground.

Tian Zhixia's face was contorted with pain and deathly pale. She clutched her chest with one hand and her head with the other for a long time before finally sitting up, sweating profusely from the pain.

Her original plan was to use pepper spray to shake off the two men, but unexpectedly, not only were they unharmed, she was almost kicked to death.

At this moment, Tian Zhixia fully realized the difference in strength. Looking at the two of them, she dared not play any more tricks. "I was wrong. I won't run away anymore. I really didn't lie to you about my age."

Jiang Liwu, however, did not believe her and looked at her with her arms crossed.

Shang Tingyan's leather shoes crushed the spray can, and his gaze turned cold and indifferent.

Tian Zhixia obediently took out her ID card and tossed it over listlessly.

Just as Jiang Liwu was about to look, Shang Tingyan beat her to it. After getting the ID card, he didn't look at it himself but handed it to Jiang Liwu.

Holding the ID card between two fingers, her gaze fell on the age. It was indeed younger than her, by a full four years. What puzzled her was that this paparazzi and stalker could completely rely on their age to be arrogant and unrestrained, so why was she still afraid?

Could it be that their identity is different?

Indeed, she doesn't look sixteen at all; twenty-six would be more appropriate.

Jiang Liwu looked at the photo on the ID card, her gaze falling on Tian Zhixia's face. There was an 80-90% resemblance, and it was indeed her, because the ID card was genuine and there were no signs of forgery.

"Your name is Tian Youtian?"

Tian Zhixia nodded weakly, "Mmm." Yeah, right.

"Open your bag and see what's in it."

Tian Zhixia unzipped the zipper.

Jiang Liwu saw that most of the items inside were used trash, each item neatly placed in a transparent sealed bag.

Tissues, gloves, strands of hair, toothbrushes, buttons, chewing gum...

Jiang Liwu frowned as she looked at it.

“I have no father, no mother, no brothers, and I was a wild child since I was a child. No one cared for me. I was disliked and hated. I had no friends. I didn’t have any special skills. I was bad at everything I did. I felt that life was particularly meaningless. One day I saw Yan Wenyu on the big screen. He was so clear and dazzling. The clear sky couldn’t compare to him. He was like a ray of light that appeared in my life. His existence suddenly made me not want to give up on this world.”

“I started to like him madly, and became obsessed with him, but it still wasn’t enough. I appeared in every corner of his life, picking up things he had used to ease my longing. I wanted to be noticed by him, but I was also afraid of being caught by him, because I didn’t want Yan Wenyu to hate me.”

“But your behavior has already crossed his line, and you have seriously affected his daily life.” Jiang Liwu’s beautiful eyes were indifferent, and she did not feel any pity for Tian Zhixia’s sob story.

Tian Zhixia's body stiffened and her lips trembled as she said, "I know, but I couldn't control myself. I know I was wrong, and I will never bother him again." She covered her face, her voice trembling with tears, and her shoulders shook.

Jiang Liwu looked at her calmly, "I hope you can keep your word."

Tian Zhixia looked up, her eyes red and swollen, but there were no tears. "Take these things with you too." She pulled some things out of her bag.

Jiang Liwu looked away, a chill creeping up her spine. She felt that the stalker fans were indeed crazy and perverted. Who in their right mind would treat trash like treasure and keep them like specimens?

"No need." Yan Wenyu didn't need it either, not to mention he had severe mysophobia.

"Then, let these be my last mementos, since I can never get close to him again."

Tian Zhixia zipped up her zipper with great sadness, but secretly rejoiced.
