Chapter 215 Why marry someone else?

An ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the air, especially when Xie Nanzhi's luscious red lips inadvertently brushed against the corner of his mouth, causing Wei Chizheng's pupils to widen slightly.

Seeing that Wei Chi couldn't answer, Xie Nanzhi smiled alluringly, "Steven, does your fiancée know that you're being so attentive to another woman?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough to throw Wei Chi into a state of mental turmoil.

But in this ambiguous tug-of-war, Wei Chizheng voluntarily entered the game, saying, "Nanzhi, tell me about my past."

Ever since he met Xie Nanzhi that night and heard her say those things, he has been intentionally or unintentionally testing Mu Jiaojiao recently. At the same time, he has also asked a trustworthy person to investigate.

He had never thought of investigating these things before, but now he wanted to know what had happened three years ago and what kind of past he had with this woman.

Xie Nanzhi released her grip, a half-smile on her face. "Why don't you ask your fiancée?"

Wei Chizheng straightened up, adjusted his clothes, and his black suit was perfectly wrinkle-free. "Miss Nan likes to ask questions she already knows the answer to?"

Xie Nanzhi laughed, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. "You've discovered I'm better than your fiancée?"

Mu Jiaojiao rarely talked to him about the past, and when she did, her words were full of holes.

For example, Wei Chizheng recently suggested meeting a mutual friend, but Mu Jiaojiao refused, saying everyone was too busy.

Her words, "We'll talk about it another time," have been met with an indefinite delay.

Wei Chizheng knew she was lying.

They're just too lazy to expose it.

He was not repulsed by Xie Nanzhi's approach; in fact, he was delighted.

He kept a straight face and said seriously, "Let's talk, Miss Nan, don't keep touching me."

Xie Nanzhi was fearless. She held her head high, her neck line neat and smooth, curving gently into her shoulder, like hills kissed by moonlight. Her collarbone was slightly sunken, rising and falling gently with her breath, like a half-empty cup of wine, its flickering light concealing an indescribable allure.

She wore a champagne-colored satin dress with two buttons undone at the neckline, revealing a small patch of fair skin. The fabric clung to her body, outlining the curves of her slender waist, and then draped loosely over her hips. As she walked, the hem of the dress brushed against her thighs, like a cat's paw gently scratching at the heart.

Wei Chizheng's throat bobbed instinctively, and the next second, Xie Nanzhi stood on tiptoe and kissed his Adam's apple.

Pressed close to his chest, Xie Nanzhi could clearly feel his heart pounding violently, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

She lifted her hazy eyelashes, and her captivating face was reflected in Wei Chizheng's pupils, revealing her allure and sexiness.

Wei Chizheng stared at her intently for a moment, then suddenly, several images flashed through his mind. He abruptly pressed his head down, his expression pained.

Xie Nanzhi was also shocked. This scene was too similar to her previous illness. Could Mu Jiaojiao be lying to her?

His illness was never cured at all?

Xie Nanzhi's face suddenly turned pale, a stark contrast to her alluring demeanor just moments before. She immediately stepped forward and anxiously asked, "What's wrong? Don't scare me. I'll take you to the hospital right now. Just hang in there."

A few seconds later, the intense pain subsided, and then Wei Chi stared intently at Xie Nanzhi, as if he wanted to see a hole through her.

Xie Nanzhi was still nervous; this expression couldn't be faked. "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

She was extremely anxious, but Wei Chizheng was mute.

He remained silent, while Xie Nanzhi was extremely anxious. "Let's go to the hospital, right now."

After saying that, Xie Nanzhi grabbed his arm and tried to pull him forward, but she couldn't move him.

Wei Chizheng stared intently at Xie Nanzhi, his dark eyes piercing through her. After a long while, he said, "We were once in love, weren't we?"

Xie Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and her breath caught in her throat.

"What...what have you remembered?"

Xie Nanzhi asked cautiously, but Wei Chizheng's gaze was burning like fire.

Then Wei Chizheng spoke calmly, "You married someone else while wearing a wedding dress, and I was in pain. I called you Zhizhi, and I kissed you..."

Several fragments flashed through his mind, and he could only make out Xie Nanzhi's face. These scattered fragments made Wei Chizheng realize something.

They did know each other, and not only did they know each other, he also loved her very much.

Wei Chizheng frowned, his tone questioning, "Why did you marry someone else? Was I not good enough?"

Perhaps caught up in the emotions of his recent memories, Wei Chi grabbed her wrist forcefully, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the ring on her ring finger, finding it increasingly jarring.

Wei Chizheng questioned, "Since you chose someone else, why are you trying to seduce me now?"

Xie Nanzhi was taken aback by his question.

He recalled some fragments and pieced together such an absurd plot. Xie Nanzhi was annoyed and casually shook off Wei Chizheng's entanglement.

Did you eat fertilizer? Your grip is so strong, it's made her wrist red.

Xie Nanzhi glared at him. "I won't scold you because you said you have amnesia, but please come and question me again after you have fully recovered your memory."

Xie Nanzhi glared at Wei Chizheng, losing all interest in continuing to feign politeness with those old fogies.

After uttering a furious remark, Xie Nanzhi turned and left.

Wei Chizheng was left standing there in a daze. He looked at his hand, wondering if he had used too much force and hurt her.

And what about your tone? Was it not very nice? Did it annoy her?

Wei Chizheng felt uncomfortable and looked bewildered.

After a while, Wei Chizheng returned to his private room, and several of his capable subordinates glanced over at him.

The leading man hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wei Chizheng up, saying, "Mr. Steven, we're all on the same side. If we can't drink it, we won't."

Wei Chi sat down in confusion, pondering for a while, "What? You thought I went out to throw up?"

Um, isn't that right?

Although the group didn't speak, their eyes betrayed their thoughts.

Wei Chi chuckled lightly, understanding the situation.

I can't think of any other reason why I haven't come back from the bathroom for so long except that I went to throw up.

With a casual glance, Wei Chizheng said, "I ran into a friend and said hello, which is why I was delayed a little."

Everyone was stunned by Wei Chizheng's amiable expression and the smile that unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Immediately, Wei Chizheng noticed that their expressions were off. "What's wrong?"

The man closest to Wei Chizheng said, "Mr. Steven, I never knew you could laugh like that."

He is usually very serious and rarely smiles. Even when he does smile, it's a formulaic smile. This is the first time I've seen him smile so genuinely.

Did he smile?

Wei Chizheng was also puzzled.

Just because I saw her?

——

After leaving the restaurant, Xie Nanzhi told the old men in the private room that she wasn't feeling well and was going home first.

Sitting in the car, she subconsciously reached for a cigarette, but then remembered what Wei Chizheng had just said, and silently put it back.

Suddenly, the phone next to me rang.

Then, Wang Shufen's urgent voice came through the phone, "Nanzhi, come to the hospital quickly, Zhengbao has fallen ill."
