Chapter 62 Anyone who dares to touch my wife, I'll kill them.
Upon hearing this, Xie Nanzhi's eyes widened, and she sobered up halfway.
"Don't talk nonsense, we have no relationship whatsoever."
The manager, clutching the wine bottle, tilted his head and pondered, "Huh? It's not President Nan's new love interest? We got all excited for nothing. You know, we were discussing it on the way back. We were roughly divided into two factions: one supporting you and President Pei, one supporting you and your new love interest, and some hoping you'd be the only one happy. President Nan, hey, what are you doing here…?"
Xie Nanzhi couldn't stand such a boring discussion, so she decided to run away. "I'm going to the restroom."
After saying that, Xie Nanzhi walked out the door without stopping.
Afterwards, she stumbled downstairs to pay the bill, and sent a message to someone she trusted, telling them that the bill had been paid and she was going home.
Xie Nanzhi really had a great time drinking today; she drank more than usual.
As Xie Nanzhi stepped out of the Water and Sky Garden, a car was parked right at the main entrance. Upon seeing Xie Nanzhi come out, the driver immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Nan, Second Master asked me to take you home."
Xie Nanzhi rubbed her eyes and thought for a few seconds before recognizing Mu Lin.
She swayed and mumbled, "You're Mr. Wei's man, aren't you?"
Mu Lin smiled and said, "It's good that you still recognize me, Miss Nan. Please get in the car."
Since learning that she had been deceived by Pei Jingchuan for three years, Xie Nanzhi rarely trusted anyone else, but Wei Chizheng was an exception.
Xie Nanzhi inexplicably trusted him and, without much thought, got into Mu Lin's car.
Mu Lin closed the car door for her, helped her get in, fastened her seatbelt, and then deliberately turned up the air conditioning temperature. Before they set off, Second Master had repeatedly reminded her that the air conditioning shouldn't be too cold, as Miss Xie's cold hadn't gotten better yet.
Mu Lin's mouth moved faster than his brain, and he blurted out, "If you're so worried, why don't you go yourself?"
To everyone's surprise, Wei Chizheng immediately responded, "I'm afraid I'm overestimating my willpower."
At the time, Mu Lin didn't quite understand what those words meant, but now he understands them completely.
Miss Xie, slightly tipsy and unguarded, leaned against the car window with her eyes half-closed. Tsk tsk tsk, I must say, the Second Master might really lose control.
Mu Lin put aside his random thoughts and stepped on the gas.
Xie Nanzhi had drunk quite a bit, but she was still conscious. As the car drove smoothly along the road, the neon lights outside the window reflected on her slightly flushed face. "Why are you alone? Where is Mr. Wei?"
Mu Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up. "Our Second Master is entertaining clients. He also asked me to pass on a message to Miss Nan: you already owe him two meals."
She remembered that she had invited him to dinner after returning from H City, and there was another meal after winning the bid, making it two times in total.
Xie Nanzhi originally wanted to invite Wei Chizheng to celebrate with them, but he declined. Wei Chizheng said that she wasn't sincere enough and that she should at least host a separate banquet.
So, Wei Chizheng left after dropping her off to meet his colleagues. What Xie Nanzhi didn't expect was that he would keep Mu Lin behind just to take her home?
Wei Chizheng's mystery, strength, meticulousness, and thoroughness made her increasingly curious about him.
What kind of person is Wei Chizheng?
After arriving home safely, Xie Nanzhi took a quick shower and went back to her bedroom. She collapsed onto the bed, and her phone vibrated beside her pillow.
Xie Nanzhi picked it up and glanced at it; it was sent by Wei Chizheng.
Are you home yet?
Upon seeing this message, Xie Nanzhi felt inexplicably happy. She rolled over onto her stomach and typed on the keyboard: "I don't believe Mu Lin didn't report this to you."
Wei Chizheng replied instantly: "I reported it, I just wanted to confirm it again."
Xie Nanzhi smiled as she stared at a line of text on the screen: "I'm back. Just lay down. Wei Chizheng, thank you."
She lay back down, placed her phone on the bedside table, and fell asleep with a smile.
Compared to the atmosphere on Xie Nanzhi's side, Pei Jingchuan's side seemed much more desolate.
He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, where he could overlook the entire port city at a glance.
Jiang Cheng stood behind him and reported, feeling a sense of oppression in every molecule of the air. "President Pei, the dock has been taken over by Madam. Should we arrange for someone to take action?"
With long eyebrows that stretched across his brow bone, Pei Jingchuan's face was filled with a murderous aura. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, turned around, and crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
What do you think?
Jiang Cheng lowered his head, but his tone was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Last night, Pei Jingchuan had him arrange for someone to take the person to the dock. No matter who it was, as long as they were brought there and given a good "education," they would surely be able to get the other party to back down.
But now, this person is the wife...
Jiang Cheng was also confused and didn't know what to do next.
Pei Jingchuan caught a glimpse of Jiang Cheng out of the corner of his eye and whispered, "Anyone who dares to touch Madam, I'll kill them."
He had hurt Xie Nanzhi once and already regretted it deeply, so how could he possibly hurt her a second time?
Pei Jingchuan took a deep breath and sat down. He lit another cigarette and said coldly, "Nan Zhi must have spent a lot of money acquiring this transportation company. Knowing her as I do, she definitely doesn't have enough funds to buy the dock. So, her next step will definitely be to take out a bank loan. Jiang Cheng, do you know what to do?"
Jiang Cheng understood. "I understand, President Pei."
Pei Jingchuan squinted, leaning back gently in his chair. In the quiet night, his frantic longing for her was ever-present.
He loved her, loved her gentleness and thoughtfulness, loved her dedication and selflessness. But now, this aggressive, glamorous, and arrogant woman was even more attractive to Pei Jingchuan.
He thought that the only woman in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him was Xie Nanzhi.
He will never let go of her.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Jiang Cheng walked to the door and saw the person on the video call. "President Pei, it's Miss Jian."
Pei Jingchuan slowly opened his eyes, and Xie Nanzhi's beautiful image flashed through his mind, causing him to frown.
Jiang Cheng thought Pei Jingchuan didn't want to see Jian Yao, so he said, "President Pei, I'll go and get rid of Miss Jian."
He was about to open the door when Pei Jingchuan said, "Let her in."
Jiang Cheng's pupils dilated slightly, but the look of disbelief vanished in an instant. "Okay."
Jiang Cheng opened the door and let Jian Yao in. The little girl skipped past Jiang Cheng and ran straight towards Pei Jingchuan.
Approaching him, Jian Yao looked like a wounded fawn, sobbing and pleading, "President Pei, tonight when I got off work, a bad guy followed me, and I'm too scared to go home alone. Besides, I don't have many friends in Hong Kong, so... could you please let me stay for one night, just one night?"
Pei Jingchuan looked at the face in front of him that resembled Xie Nanzhi by seven-tenths, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. He remained silent for a long time.
Jian Yao was about to drop more bombshells when Pei Jingchuan surprisingly nodded, "Then stay."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng decided not to linger any longer.
As the door slammed shut, Pei Jingchuan grabbed Jian Yao's chin and stared at her intently. "Don't say a word. If you dare utter another word, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."
Jian Yao was startled, but for the sake of future wealth and glory, she could endure anything.
She nodded, and Pei Jingchuan was very satisfied.
The next second, he leaned down and kissed the face he had longed for day and night, murmuring tenderly, "Nanzhi..."
