"We can reschedule for another day, it's no loss at all."

Nan Zhi shook her head, her eyes full of interest, then glanced at Song Yiming and said:

"Could you please take Xi'er home in a little while?"

This was exactly what Song Yiming wanted to hear, and he readily agreed. Qin Xi'er: "..."

I feel betrayed by my sisters.

Nanzhi didn't intend to stay any longer and immediately said goodbye to the two of them.

Qin Xi'er tried to reach out and grab her, but she couldn't touch her face or sleeve.

Nanzhi runs faster than a rabbit.

What a joke! Nan Zhi still remembers that time she drew a fortune stick; Qin Xi'er's was "It came without any effort."

Isn't that right now? It comes so easily, without any effort at all. The way Song Yiming looked at Qin Xier was unmistakable.

"Tsk tsk tsk, young lady, when are you going to switch careers and become a matchmaker?"

Meow Meow Machine complains, and Nan Zhi laughs heartily.

"If there's a chance."

Meow Meow Machine: "......."

"Miss Qin, I'll play with you."

Song Yiming took two steps forward and walked up to Qin Xier.

Qin Xi'er glared at him fiercely, "I don't need it."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Song Yiming quickly followed behind her, feeling that he would probably be following her for the rest of his life.

......

"Shen Xingmian, Shen Xingmian, what a juicy piece of gossip!"

After leaving, Nan Zhi went straight to the Shen family's office, rushed into Shen Xingmian's office, and excitedly began to speak.

Shen Xingmian was on the phone, sitting at her desk. Hearing the noise, she looked up at Nan Zhi, then said into the phone:

"I understand, Auntie, that's settled then."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Nanzhi ran over and threw herself into his arms, looking up at him with a smile as bright as the sun.

"Shen Xingmian, do you know what Song Yiming has been up to lately?"

Shen Xingmian raised an eyebrow and shook her head.

"I understand now that he's pursuing Xi'er. This Song Yiming probably genuinely likes Xi'er, so I can rest assured."

Shen Xingmian raised his hand, bent his index finger, and helplessly flicked the girl's nose, "Where do you get so much attention from others?"

Nanzhi chuckled and wrinkled her nose. "Do you want me to care about you more?"

Shen Xingmian looked down at her without saying a word.

The Xiyue Group in Country M has been under attack lately, so he'll probably have to go there.

He now knows who the other party is, but he is unwilling to take action against him unless absolutely necessary.

Thinking about all this, Shen Xingmian unconsciously frowned. Nan Zhi looked at him, blinked in confusion, and then asked:

"Shen Xingmian, is there something you need?"

Shen Xingmian remained silent for a while before finally speaking to Nan Zhi:

"I might be going to the United States in a few days."

Nanzhi asked in confusion, "Why?"

"There's been a problem at Xiyue Group, and I need to go there personally to handle it."

Upon hearing the name Xiyue, Nanzhi felt a mix of emotions.

He loved her so deeply that he built a business empire for her, named it after her, and now he is also working hard for this company.

Nanzhi's smile could no longer be maintained.

Shen Xingmian could sense her emotional fluctuations.

"It will only take a week, not long. I will finish it as soon as possible."

He assumed that Nanzhi didn't want him to leave, so he spoke up.

Nan Zhi nodded slightly, stepped away from Shen Xingmian's embrace, and said:

"I'm fine. Company matters are more important. You can handle it."

Even so, how could Shen Xingmian not sense Nanzhi's emotional changes?

He frowned, suddenly realizing he had misjudged Nanzhi's thoughts.

"Zhizhi, what are you hiding from me?"

It was a statement of fact. Nanzhi looked up at him and smiled. "There's nothing else going on. But you, you shouldn't be hiding anything from me."

Shen Xingmian stared intently at her expression, not missing a single detail.

Even if it was just the slightest bit strange, and even if Nan Zhi tried her best to hide it, Shen Xingmian still noticed it.

There is probably no one in this world who understands Nanzhi better than Shen Xingmian.

He reached out and pulled the girl closer, looked up at her, and asked seriously:

"No matter what happens, Zhizhi, remember, I'm here for you."

Nanzhi was suddenly touched by his words; their relationship wasn't something that had developed overnight.

Nan Zhi always remembered Shen Xingmian's kindness to her, but it was precisely because of her affection and the depth of her love that she couldn't pretend that Mu Xiyue had never existed.

"Shen Xingmian, have you ever liked other girls before?"

After thinking for a while, Nanzhi decided to ask.

Shen Xingmian was taken aback, then chuckled helplessly, staring at Nan Zhi, and said:

"What are you thinking about? Of course not, it's just you from beginning to end."

Nanzhi felt as if her heart had been suddenly clenched, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Why? Why did you lie to her?

After a long while, Nanzhi broke free from Shen Xingmian's hand and smiled, "That's good."

This time, Nan Zhi tried her best to disguise it well; she didn't want Shen Xingmian to notice anything amiss.

Having found a reason with Shen Xingmian, Nanzhi left the Shen family.

She walked along the street, exuding an air of dejection.

Nanzhi didn't know how long she had been walking, and she didn't even notice that a car suddenly stopped beside her and the window rolled down.

"Miss Nan."

Nan Zhi turned her head and saw Gu Ying instead. She immediately became very defensive.

Gu Ying looked at her calmly, then smiled and said:
