Chapter 89 You think I'm such a despicable person?

Soft, carrying Wei Chizheng's unique scent, blended into her breath.

Xie Nanzhi was shocked. She didn't know if it was because she had been drinking and her mind was a beat slower, or for some other reason. In any case, Xie Nanzhi did not react immediately.

Then she felt the scene she had only experienced in her dream: Wei Chizheng was involuntarily... sucking.

Xie Nan suddenly snapped out of her daze and shoved the overly audacious man in front of her away.

Then, Wei Chizheng let out a muffled groan and subconsciously pressed his hand to the left side of his chest.

Xie Nanzhi belatedly realized that he was still injured, and that the push must have aggravated the wound.

She was somewhat worried, but ultimately said nothing.

Wei Chizheng paused for a few seconds, panting as he looked at her. Her cheeks were flushed with a captivating pink, and her red lips, kissed until they were luscious and tempting, more alluring than a peach just picked from a tree.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he savored the faint aroma of wine on her tongue. Even the usually composed and calm man seemed at a loss for words.

The man who had bumped into Wei Chizheng had stumbled into the men's restroom. He tensed his muscles and took a step back, saying, "Sorry."

Xie Nanzhi feigned composure, "Unexpected, but understandable."

The kiss was unexpected.

But what about going deeper?

Xie Nanzhi didn't say anything to avoid making things awkward for both of them. Wei Chi nodded and said, "Miss Nan, I came to tell you that I won't ruin your plans."

I just happened to see Xie Nanzhi walking towards the restroom, and Wei Chizheng followed her.

He was afraid she would overthink things, so he was eager to reassure her.

Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips. "Okay, I understand. To avoid arousing Pei Jingchuan's suspicion, let's not let him know that we know each other for now."

Wei Chizheng shared the same thought, but hearing Xie Nanzhi say it made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After a moment's thought, Wei Chizheng suddenly asked, "You still have feelings for him?"

Xie Nanzhi frowned, truly disgusted by Wei Chizheng's idea. "Mr. Wei, do you think everything I've done is a ploy to get Pei Jingchuan's attention? Is that how you think I am?"

No, it isn't.

In Wei Chizheng's heart, she was the best.

Wei Chizheng said, "I was overthinking it, but Pei Jingchuan really isn't good enough for you."

Without thinking, Xie Nanzhi blurted out, "Then who does Mr. Wei think is worthy of her?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Chizheng was stunned.

It was only then that Xie Nanzhi realized that her question was inappropriate, making it seem as if she was interested in Wei Chizheng.

Xie Nanzhi hurriedly explained, "Mr. Wei, I just asked casually, I absolutely didn't mean anything by it. Um, I'll be going now, my friend is still waiting for me."

Xie Nanzhi left in a hurry, her steps were all jumbled.

She hurried towards the Bamboo Grove Garden, and as soon as she sat down, a message popped up on her phone. It was from Wei Chizheng.

Xie Nanzhi gripped her phone tightly, her once calm heart stirred by those few words.

Then Zhou Mubin asked in surprise, "Hey, Nanzhi, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

Xie Nanzhi feigned ignorance, "Really? It's alright."

Xibei chimed in, "Yes, absolutely."

Feeling guilty, Xie Nanzhi made up a random excuse, "The alcohol was too strong, and I'm a little tipsy."

Xie Nanzhi did indeed drink two cups of liquor, which was a reasonable explanation, so Xi Bei and the other man did not press the matter further.

Speaking of which, Xi Bei and Zhou Mubin drank quite a bit, definitely more than Xie Nanzhi.

I don't know how the conversation turned to relationships, but Zhou Mubin talked about how difficult it is for men, while Xibei listed a lot of difficulties for women.

Xie Nanzhi sat across from her listening. As she listened, she rested her chin on her hand and asked earnestly, "Old Zhou, if a man tells a woman, 'This is my first kiss,' what does he mean?"

Just now, Wei Chizheng's message read: "Nan Zhi, this is my first kiss."

Xie Nanzhi was at a loss; her mind was completely blank.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mubin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Who did you kiss?"

Wasn't he drunk?

How come my brain still reacts so quickly?

Xie Nanzhi denied it, saying, "It wasn't me, it was a friend of mine."

Xibei crossed his arms, ready to interrogate him, "This is a typical case of 'making friends out of thin air,' confess the truth."

Xie Nanzhi was somewhat flustered. "There's nothing to confess. You two both know I have a few male grasshoppers around me, so how could it be me?"

Xibei stroked her chin, pondering, "Old Zhou, that seems to make sense."

Zhou Mubin stretched his legs out casually, leaned back slightly, and exuded the languid air of a playboy, completely lacking the elite demeanor that lawyer Zhou should possess.

With a toothpick dangling from his mouth, Zhou Mubin analyzed the problem seriously, "...most likely she wants to sleep with your friend."

"Pfft!" Xie Nanzhi spat out a mouthful of green tea, and Zhou Mubin was innocently caught in the crossfire. "Nanzhi, why are you so agitated?"

Xie Nanzhi handed Zhou Mubin a few tissues, saying, "No, I just choked."

Zhou Mubin was disgusted. "Pah, I don't believe you for a second."

Xie Nanzhi gave an awkward laugh a few times, then turned the page...

About an hour later, Xie Nanzhi and the other two helped each other out of the private tavern. Judging from how unsteady their gait was, they had all drunk quite a bit.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Pei Jingchuan and Wei Chizheng, who also seemed to have just come out, standing by the roadside exchanging greetings and saying goodbye.

Xibei subconsciously complained, "When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause you to choke. Nanzhi, let's avoid the dog to prevent getting any bad luck on us."

Xi Bei linked arms with Xie Nanzhi and strode off in another direction, but now that Pei Jingchuan had seen them, how could he just stand by and watch Xie Nanzhi leave like that?

Pei Jingchuan's eyes followed Xie Nanzhi's figure, and he said anxiously, "Mr. Wei, my wife has gone out. I'm worried about her going home alone. I'll go see her off."

Unexpectedly, Wei Chi calmly replied, "I thought it was a gift from President Pei."

Upon hearing this, not only was Pei Jingchuan shocked, but Xie Nanzhi, who also heard the voice, couldn't help but take another look.

Pei Jingchuan chuckled lightly and asked teasingly, "Mr. Wei, I remember we were drinking tea, weren't we? Did you get drunk from drinking tea?"

Wei Chizheng remained expressionless and pressed the spot where his wound was. "I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable. Would it be too much for you, President Pei, to give me a ride?"

Seeing this, Xie Nanzhi suddenly remembered the push she had made earlier, and wondered if her wound had reopened.

Her brow furrowed, and a strange feeling rose within her.

In the end, Pei Jingchuan could only watch helplessly as Xie Nanzhi and the other two left, while he reluctantly went to see Wei Chizheng off.

Pei Jingchuan's face darkened. "Of course it's not excessive."

Jiang Cheng was in charge of driving, while Wei Chizheng and Pei Jingchuan sat in the back.

Since getting on the bus, Wei Chizheng has been glued to his phone, a smile always on his face.

Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but wonder, "The person who can make Mr. Wei smile so happily must be someone very important. Is it a woman?"

Wei Chizheng turned his head to look into his eyes, curled his lips, and said in a deep voice, "She is my lover. If there is an opportunity, I would be very willing to introduce President Pei to her."
