Chapter 269 Such a harmonious love triangle?

Tie Tou paused for a moment, looked at Wei Chizheng in surprise, and after a few seconds nodded, "Don't worry, Second Master, I know what I'm doing."

Wei Chizheng reached out and patted his shoulder, then walked away first.

Tie Tou frowned slightly and followed.

Inside the private room, the three women created a lively scene. As soon as Wei Chi entered, he saw Xie Nanzhi smiling, and his gaze softened instantly.

He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

It was already late at night, and the fireworks and firecrackers outside weren't as intense anymore. The night was getting thicker and thicker. He leaned against the sofa, his eyelids feeling like they were made of lead, sticking together one after another.

Xie Nanzhi was playing a drinking game with Xibei when she suddenly felt the sofa sway slightly.

When he looked up, he saw Wei Chizheng with his eyes half-closed, his eyelashes casting faint shadows under his eyes, and his voice was hoarse from sleepiness, "Wife, I'm sleepy."

Xie Nanzhi put down her wine and let Xibei and Qin Yin play first.

She moved closer to him, and just as she was about to say something, he gently grabbed her wrist.

He didn't use much force; his fingertips, still slightly warm, slid slowly down her forearm, finally resting his head on her shoulder like a large, weak dog.

"Honey, let's go home."

Wei Chizheng whispered, his nose brushing against her neck, causing a ticklish sensation.

Even his breath carried a faint scent of alcohol, mixed with his usual sandalwood and tobacco aroma, which he gently sprayed onto her collarbone.

Xie Nanzhi pushed him to sit up straight, and as soon as her hand touched the back of his neck, he pressed it down with his own hand.

Taking the opportunity, Wei Chizheng buried his face even deeper into the crook of her neck, his hair tickling her chin. His voice was muffled, as if he were coaxing someone, "Wife..."

As he spoke, his fingers began to wander and tug at the hem of her clothes, his fingertips brushing against the fabric with a hint of unconscious dependence.

His eyes were slightly lowered, but he still gently tapped her shoulder with his forehead. "Wife, I missed you."

Wei Chizheng acted coquettishly without restraint, completely disregarding how others viewed him.

Xi Bei complained, "I said, Mr. Wei, that's enough. So many people are watching."

Wei Chizheng ignored her.

Mulin and Xibei said, "You've known our Second Master for a while now. He's just like this, we can just ignore him."

Xibei raised an eyebrow and muttered, "Who says 'we' are you?"

Mu Lin paused for half a second, then said dryly, "I thought we were all friends, but I didn't expect Miss Xi to be so pedantic about words."

Xibei chuckled, a little embarrassed, "Hehe, don't be so sensitive, I just said it casually, my friend."

Mu Lin subconsciously looked at Xi Bei, who was staring at him intently.

Her beautiful big eyes blinked, making Mu Lin's heart skip a beat. He quickly averted his gaze and said, "Okay, I understand."

Xibei, ever the nonchalant one, nudged him lightly with her elbow and said, "You're not angry anymore, are you, my friend?"

Mu Lin looked a little embarrassed and avoided eye contact, saying, "It's not that bad."

Xibei laughed, "I knew it! You're not such a petty person. Come on, let's have a drink and wish my friend a Happy New Year."

Xibei was holding a wine glass.

Looking at her radiant appearance, Mu Lin felt a strange feeling well up inside him. "Happy New Year, my friend."

Xie Nanzhi's cheeks were slightly flushed. The man on her shoulder stopped moving. Listening to his gradually steady breathing, she felt her shoulder getting a little numb from his pressure, but her heart felt full of something soft.

This man, who usually commands everything with a flick of his wrist, was now like a boneless ball of cotton, gently placing all his weariness and dependence on her.

Xie Nanzhi's heart softened. "Okay, let's go home."

With that, Xie Nanzhi helped Wei Chizheng to his feet, said goodbye to the others, and left.

After the two left, Tie Tou asked in confusion, "Wasn't Second Master quite sober just now? How did he suddenly become so drunk?"

Tie Tou isn't cunning; he's straightforward and honest.

I reckon he was the only one who didn't realize that Wei Chizheng was faking being drunk and sleepy.

Mu Lin teased, "Then you don't understand, Second Master, this is called intoxicating fragrance."

Tie Tou: "So, your sister-in-law has alcohol on her?"

Everyone in the room laughed when he said that.

Not long after the two left, the group dispersed.

Just as we arrived at the door, Mu Lin said it was on his way and he could deliver Xi Bei's food.

Perhaps it's just a habit, but it seems that every time he drinks, as long as Mu Lin is there, it's him who drives him home.

Thinking about it this way, he's actually not a bad person.

Xi Bei, a carefree man, drunkenly wrapped his coat tighter around himself. "Mu Lin, you're a really nice guy. Here's what I'll do: after the New Year, I'll introduce you to my cousin. She's a top student, good-looking, and comes from a good family. You two will definitely get along."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lin's face immediately fell. "Who needs your introduction? With my looks, women would be throwing themselves at me."

With that, he got into the car first.

Just then, Qin Yin's boyfriend arrived.

Qin Yin said to Tie Tou, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up. Goodbye."

Tie Tou grunted in response and looked at the man in the distance.

The man smiled at him as a greeting, and Tie Tou nodded, watching Qin Yin get into the car.

The whole thing was so harmonious it was almost unbelievable.

Only Xibei's worldview was shattered. By the time she came to her senses, Tie Tou had already gotten into the car and left.

She quickly got into the car, and Mu Lin sat with her in the back to wait for the designated driver. Xi Bei's curiosity had reached its peak, "Wow, Qin Yin has a boyfriend?"

Mu Lin raised an eyebrow. "Yes."

Xibei cursed, "Damn it, Tie Tou is a bastard."

Mu Lin stared in astonishment, turning to look at Xi Bei, "Have you ever seen such a harmonious love triangle?"

Xibei muttered to herself, "You're right, but does Tie Tou really have no feelings for Qin Yin? That can't be right. Tie Tou rarely gets close to women, so logically, that shouldn't be the case."

Mu Lin scoffed, "You know so much, how come you're still single?"

After her initial surprise, Xibei regained her composure and said, "I'm not like you ordinary people. I'm a fairy who doesn't eat the food of this world."

Mu Lin suddenly remembered what Wei Chizheng had told him about Xi Bei's lack of "love," and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, Mu Lin laughed again, "You don't want to be in a relationship at all?"

Xibei shook her head. "I still prefer to fall in love with the data in the lab. It's so cute. Oh no, you're making me want to go to the lab again. Mulin, why don't you take me to the lab? I want to see if the mold in the petri dish has grown yet."

Mu Lin, "..."

He finally understood what it meant to flirt with a blind man.

Mu Lin refused without hesitation, saying, "It's the New Year, why go to the lab? Go home."

Xibei, "Your tone is just like my dad's."

Mu Lin: "Stop, I'm not that old."

Xibei: "Yes, yes, yes, not old, that's called maturity."

Mulin was completely speechless.

This girl probably has no intelligence whatsoever, only IQ.

When I got home, it was already late at night, and the maid had already gone to bed.

The entire villa was silent, with only the red lanterns filling the courtyard highlighting the unique atmosphere of the evening.
