Chapter 265: 244: The name on the invitation should be written by me. Wen Renche paused for a moment, letting out a mocking laugh. The wound at the corner of his mouth stretched wider, fresh blood seeping out incessantly. He slowly raised his head, his voice that had been as gentle as a breeze suddenly turning much darker: "The name on the invitation should be written by me." Even with one standing and one crouching, even with the other looking down from above, the aura he carried lost not a fraction of its strength. It was as if the two of them were standing on the same line, with no one being special in that fleeting moment. Shi Wei arched his sharp brows, those ink-drenched, pitch-black peach blossom eyes entirely void of light. He suppressed the urge to strike again, carrying the posture of someone above it all, as if Wen Renche was no more than air to him: "You don’t stand a chance." Another loud crash echoed as the door was slammed open. Shi Wei’s departing figure, graceful and indifferent, silently mocked the man still clinging to those cold, lifeless pieces of artwork. As if declaring to him that he was the ultimate victor. But in truth... This confrontation was a pyrrhic victory for both of them. A black Maybach roared through the bustling streets, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The man in the driver’s seat gripped the steering wheel with hands steeped in icy hostility, ignoring the traffic lights as his foot pressed the accelerator to the floor. Shi Wei felt terrible. This suffocating unease overwhelmed him the moment he saw that wall filled with paintings. It was as if vines had wrapped tightly around his entire being. He pretended it didn’t matter, pretended he didn’t care, pretended he could accept the shared history between the girl and Wen Renche. But the relentless ache in his heart reminded him, every second, just how agonizingly jealous he was—jealous to the point where he could scarcely breathe. Before arriving at the Wen Family estate, he was unwavering. He was certain the girl loved him, and only him. But the cruel, blood-stained reality before his eyes left him without a shred of certainty. Worse, it birthed a feeling he’d never known before—fear. He feared that Wen Renche’s words were true. He feared Wen Renche would destroy their wedding. He feared even more that Wen Renche might take her away, making her vanish from his world, leaving him unable to ever find her again... "Buzz, buzz, buzz—" The phone on the passenger seat vibrated endlessly. Shi Wei acted as though he didn’t hear it. When he snapped back to himself, he had already driven to the Headquarters building. Turning his head, his gaze fell on the screen displaying three missed calls from her—saved under the name "Wife"—and lingered for a long time. Eventually, he picked up the phone. His finger hovered over the dial icon for an instant, the faintly cool touch feeling magnified infinitely. Shi Wei hesitated. He suddenly didn’t know what to say, or how to face her. It was as if he had stepped into a labyrinth, unable to find the path back to light and warmth; yet still refusing to turn back, unwilling to remain at a standstill. Shi Wei sighed powerlessly, his defined fingers pressing against his furrowed brow. Through the car window, his gaze met the towering buildings crowded with passersby, and he couldn’t help but picture her moments with Wen Renche vividly. Jealousy surged once more like an unstoppable tide, drowning even a man who could swim, leaving him nowhere to escape. Understanding that he couldn’t calm himself down anytime soon, Shi Wei ultimately chose not to call her back. But to prevent her from worrying, he opened the pinned chat on WeChat and sent her a message. Receiving her reply, Shi Wei tossed the phone aside, closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply, trying to sort through the chaotic thoughts that tormented him. Shortly after, he drove away from the area.
