When Nan Xia moved to her rival's law firm, the entire city was in an uproar. Song Yanzhi, a legendary figure in the legal world, was known as her nemesis, but what people didn't know was t...
Chapter 61 Is this golden bachelor's marriage going to fall through?
No girl had ever been fierce to him before. When she was fierce, she was truly fierce, but Shen Yan found it quite amusing.
"..." Nan Xia looked at him unconsciously, thinking he would just make things up, but she didn't expect him to be so sincere.
Is being fierce cute? Is rolling your eyes cute? Nan's mother suppressed a laugh, finally understanding – beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?
My daughter is so lucky!
Outside the restaurant window, the man sitting in the luxury car watched the way Nan Xia looked at that other man, and his fingers slowly tightened—
It feels like something precious that has always belonged to me is slowly slipping from my grasp.
He won't allow it!
Hmph, she said she came to buy things with her mother, but she was clearly sneaking off to have dinner and date that man! Song Yanzhi stared at her with cold eyes, wishing he could bore holes in her.
"Go and find out the exact location of the house Nan Xia just bought," he coldly ordered the bodyguard in front of him.
"Yes, Young Master Song," the man replied.
"Also, I'll be driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom to and from get off work from now on." He's always been low-key and doesn't like to flaunt his wealth, but what can you do when those two, mother and daughter, are so obsessed with money?
I'm impressed.
When I saw that guy surnamed Shen driving a Rolls-Royce, my eyes widened!
“...Yes,” the bodyguard replied again.
"Go and find out Nanxia's mother's preferences as soon as possible," Song Yanzhi ordered coldly.
"...Yes." The bodyguard noted down all of his requests. Was he being provoked?
Inside the restaurant, Nan Xia felt inexplicably uneasy, as if someone was watching her. She looked around the window but didn't see anyone she knew.
Shen Yan placed a piece of freshly grilled beef tongue on her plate. "What are you looking at?"
"It's okay." She shook her head slightly and deliberately put a piece on his plate as well: "You should eat it yourself. You've been taking care of us all this time and haven't even eaten much yourself."
“I don’t mind if you feed me,” he joked.
"You really dare to make demands." She laughed. They weren't even a couple. Didn't he feel awkward?
"I was just kidding. I'm happy that you put food on my plate."
Just as Shen Yan finished speaking, a girl in a yellow dress with shoulder-length short hair walked up behind him and suddenly yelled angrily in a high-pitched voice.
"Brother Yan, who is the woman next to you?!"
Luckily, someone called him and said he was having dinner with a woman here. Sure enough! Thank goodness someone told me!
Immediately, all three looked towards the sound. Nan's mother sized her up and down, noting her delicate yet arrogant demeanor, which made her seem unlikable.
"Ayan, who is she?"
"She's just my little sister. Her family and the Shen family have been friends for generations, so she's a bit disrespectful. I'm sorry." He quickly explained, afraid that the mother and daughter would misunderstand.
He had barely finished speaking when the little girl immediately retorted.
"What little sister? I'm clearly your fiancée! How could you go on a date with another woman behind my back? I'm going to tell your parents about this!"
“I didn’t agree.” Shen Yan glanced at her coldly.
The young girl frowned, annoyed, and glanced at the woman sitting next to him who was prettier than herself and calmly drinking red wine, unlike those disreputable women.
To say that they deliberately sabotaged their relationship.
“Our parents have long agreed to this marriage. I am now your fiancée. How can you two-time me?”
"I already said I didn't agree, so get out of here, or I'll get angry!" Shen Yan glanced at Nan Xia, stood up from the sofa, and angrily dismissed her.
"You'd better come with me right now, or else... or I won't let that woman get away with it, hmph." She glared angrily at Nan Xia, who was still sitting on the sofa calmly eating.
How could she not be angry?
Is it because Brother Yan is protecting her?
Shen Yan was really annoyed by this persistent little girl. If he didn't take her away, she would definitely keep bothering him here.
He then turned to Nan Xia and explained, "Don't misunderstand, I really didn't agree to the marriage alliance with her. I'll take her back first."
Nanxia didn't care whether he had other women around him or whether he was engaged; she only approached him to get the account books.
She looked at him and smiled, saying:
"You don't need to explain to me. Aren't we more than just friends now? Then hurry up and take her home. Making a scene here isn't a good thing."
Hearing her say that, Shen Yan was a little disappointed. He had been too hasty. He should deal with this little girl first to prevent her from causing trouble again next time.
He called her out, and after she got into the car, he said to her in a solemn and deep voice:
"I told you before, I only see you as a younger sister, and I will never marry you. Do you understand?"
The little girl grabbed his hand, feigning pitifulness, shook it, and said in a coquettish tone.
"But I love you... I don't care, I'm going to marry you in this lifetime! By the way, who is that woman?"
Hmph, how dare she try to steal my husband? She's asking for it!
"You'd better not mess with her. If you dare to cause her trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shen Yan warned her, disgustedly threw her hand away, started the car, and drove her away from there, lest she run back to the restaurant to cause trouble for Nan Xia and her daughter.
Inside Song Yanzhi's car, watching Shen Yan being taken away by his fiancée, a cunning smile finally appeared on his lips.
The gloom from before vanished completely.
As an ex, he was doing this for his ex-girlfriend's own good. It's better to find out now that he has a fiancée than later! Besides, those two elderly people in the Shen family are no pushovers.
That couple were both cunning and ruthless.
She assumed that because Shen Yan had a good personality, his parents would be easy to get along with.
Stupid woman!!!
Song Yanzhi looked expectantly at Nan Xia in the restaurant, only to see her calmly leaning back on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, swirling it gently in her hand—
Not angry at all.
Why isn't she angry with that man?
Nanxia took another sip of red wine, put down the glass, picked up a fork, and put a piece of fruit salad in her mouth. After eating the roast meat, she wanted to eat some of this to cut through the grease.
Nan's mother was both angry and disappointed. She had asked him if he had a girlfriend and if he was married, but she hadn't asked if he had a fiancée!
I just missed asking one question.
She crossed her arms and stared at her daughter, unable to hold back her question, "Don't you have any other emotions? How can you still eat?"
"What emotions should I have? He and I are just ordinary friends now. You're the one who's treating him like a rich husband." Nanxia ate another piece of fruit.
“His parents have already arranged the marriage, I think this golden opportunity is going to fall through…” Mrs. Nan sighed regretfully.
"Just treat him as my friend, and don't give him a hard time. He's my business partner now."
She gave another reminder, but still didn't reveal Shen Yan's identity to her mother.
If his mother finds out, she will definitely dislike him, which will be detrimental to his plans.
"Don't you like him even a little bit?" Nan's mother asked, pursing her lips.
"No."
Although she didn't have any feelings for him, she still had a good impression of him. He was a nice person, and Nanxia always felt a little guilty whenever she saw him.
