Chapter 246 Wei Chizheng, Don't Touch Him

Huang Yaozu's appearance was even more explosive than Jin Moli's.

As everyone knows, Huang Yaozu is Xie Nanzhi's number one suitor, and today the person in question is also here. What a deadly battleground this is!

Xibei poked Zhou Mubin with her finger and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Are you crazy? You have a girlfriend, don't you know how to show off? You have to start a fight to add to the fun?"

Zhou Mubin slapped his forehead, realizing he had caused trouble. "Didn't I forget about this? It's my fault."

They've gotten along well over the years.

I always try to invite them to any dinner parties, but Zhou Mubin came back late last night and was so groggy that I forgot about it.

Xibei quipped, "Men in love really do have zero IQ."

As she spoke, Xibei stepped forward, since she was the only one who was superfluous. "Mr. Huang, you're late. You should at least be punished with three drinks."

Xibei called out, "Come on, let's come over here and have a good drink."

From the moment he entered, Huang Yaozu's gaze was fixed on Xie Nanzhi. Only when Xibei spoke to him did he finally put his mind at ease.

Huang Yaozu smiled slightly, "Alright, I'll punish myself with three drinks."

Huang Yaozu followed Xibei to drink the penalty cup. He drank three cups in a row, and then refilled his cup again.

Before Xibei could react, he had already walked towards Wei Chizheng with his wine glass in hand.

"Mr. Wei, this glass of wine is for you."

At this moment, Wei Chizheng held a cigarette between his fingers, the rich smoke floating against the dark gold wallpaper.

His sharply defined profile was accentuated by the intricately designed crystal chandelier in the private room, the dim light making him appear as enigmatic as a shadow.

Then, Wei Chizheng picked up the bone china cup in front of him and poured himself a glass of wine.

Wei Chizheng parted his thin lips slightly and casually raised his glass, "Nanzhi's friends are my friends, Mr. Huang, this glass is for me to toast you."

After saying that, he drank the glass of wine first, and then sat back down.

Wei Chizheng pulled Xie Nanzhi's hand and placed it on his lap. The ambiguity between them overflowed with light and shadow, which stung the eyes of the man in front of him.

Wei Chizheng asked in a low voice, "Wife, don't forget to invite General Manager Huang to our company's annual party."

Xie Nanzhi met his gaze and thought to herself, "He's being generous now." "Okay."

Wei Chi smiled indulgently, oblivious to everyone else, "Wife, you're so cute, but you're even cuter at night."

Among the room full of adults, everyone knew that Wei Chizheng's words had a hidden meaning.

He leaned back gently, the sofa sinking in slightly, the toes of his Italian handmade leather shoes catching the light of the crystal chandelier.

The cigarette between her fingers burned with a scarlet flame, the ash piling up half an inch but not flicking off. When her peripheral vision fell on the man opposite her, he looked like the surface of a lake covered with a thin layer of ice.

Huang Yaozu's face was extremely pale. He casually found a seat, draped his suit jacket over the armrest, and rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt to his forearms, revealing his wrist bones.

Huang Yaozu finally spoke, "Mr. Wei, you should still show women the most basic respect, don't you think?"

Suddenly, the entire private room fell silent.

Wei Chizheng chuckled, but a closer look would reveal the anger in his eyes. "It seems that Mr. Huang must have a lot of respect for Miss Liu."

Wei Chizheng's voice was shrouded in the smell of smoke, devoid of any emotion. When he looked up, the shards of light from the crystal chandelier fell into his pupils, but without a trace of warmth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yaozu's face darkened even more.

The light spots refracted by the crystal chandelier swayed between the two of them, like knives hanging in mid-air.

Huang Yaozu raised his hand and pressed it against the rim of the glass. The coolness of the ice seeped into his palm. He tilted his head slightly and subconsciously looked at Xie Nanzhi's reaction.

But her expression remained calm, without the slightest ripple.

After three years, Huang Yaozu thought that he was at least different in her heart. It seems that he overestimated his importance in her heart.

Wei Chizheng frowned slightly; he really wanted to gouge out Huang Yaozu's eyes.

However, for Xie Nanzhi's sake, he wouldn't do that. "When Mr. Huang and Ms. Liu get married, don't forget to send an invitation to me and Nanzhi. I wish you both a long and happy marriage with many children."

The last few words, Wei Chizheng's tone was drawn out very lightly, yet carried the sharpness of an ice-cold blade.

Silence fell over the private room again, with only the occasional wisp of air from the air conditioner vents causing the delicate chains hanging from the crystal chandelier to tinkle almost inaudibly, like someone in the shadows gently plucking a taut string.

Seeing that things were about to escalate, Zhou Mubin, as the host, immediately stepped in to balance things out. "Mr. Huang, let's have a good drink together. It's been a while since we last drank together."

Xi Bei grimaced as she listened, truly finding the words of a wise man to be profound.

Fortunately, Zhou Mubin took Huang Yaozu aside, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

Wei Chizheng casually raised his eyes, his deep gaze indifferent.

The dim light cast flickering shadows on his face, illuminating his handsome features in half of the light and half in the shadow.

Xie Nanzhi asked, "Are you angry?"

Wei Chizheng smiled faintly, "I can't bear to part with it."

These were Xie Nanzhi's words to Xibei just now, and now he's actually mimicking them quite well.

Xie Nanzhi said, "I didn't know he would come back."

Wei Chizheng gently ruffled her hair. "He's the one who's upset, not me. Why are you blaming yourself?"

After a few rounds of drinks, Wei Chizheng told Xie Nanzhi that he was going to the restroom and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Xie Yuanyang followed him out.

Xie Nanzhi saw it all, but pretended not to notice.

A few minutes later, in the dimly lit corridor, Wei Chizheng leaned against the wall, smoking with his eyes downcast. At that moment, Xie Yuanyang walked over.

He stood opposite Wei Chizheng, took out a cigarette, and said, "Can I borrow a light?"

Wei Chizheng tossed him his lighter, which Xie Yuanyang lit and then returned. "Is this all it takes to make you feel bad?"

Wei Chizheng raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. "What, did you come out of the way on purpose to mock me?"

Xie Yuanyang: "It's not that bad, but there are two things I want to say to you."

Seeing that Wei Chizheng remained silent, Xie Yuanyang continued, "Although Nanzhi has no feelings for Huang Yaozu, she at least genuinely considers him a friend. Over the years, Huang Yaozu has also helped Nanzhi a lot."

Wei Chizheng suddenly smiled, "So?"

Xie Yuanyang said seriously, "Wei Chizheng, don't touch him."

The next second, their eyes met.

...

Not long after, Wei Chizheng and Xie Yuanyang returned together. By then, Huang Yaozu had already left.

With no one in the way, Wei Chizheng's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

However, Xie Nanzhi didn't stay where she was; instead, she ran to Xibei's side.

Even with Zhou Mubin gone, Xibei's venomous tongue didn't stop. "Sister Baizhou, could you cook some porridge for me and Nanzhi tomorrow? I'm curious, what kind of porridge could turn Old Zhou into an idiot?"

Jin Moli bit her lip, looking completely innocent. "Xibei, I have no grudge against you, why are you humiliating me like this?"

Several rounds had already taken place before this.

Xi Bei couldn't stand her tactless remarks any longer, which is why she spoke rudely. Xie Nanzhi even came over, afraid that Xi Bei would cause trouble.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Jin Moli continued, "Could it be that you've always had a crush on Zhou Lu, and that's why you can't stand seeing us happy and are making things difficult for me?"
