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 65 Attorney Song personally intervenes to break up the illicit couple!
"...Yeah, I just want to be with him, so what? He's just an ex-boyfriend, and he's so nosy."
Nan Xia chuckled, but that smile froze instantly in Song Yanzhi's eyes.
She felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the man and was about to get off him when he suddenly turned around and pressed her down onto the sofa!
Nanxia pushed him hard, "What are you doing? Get off me..."
Suddenly, Song Yanzhi reached out and slid his fingertips from her fair and bright face to behind her ear, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
The movement looked gentle, but the fingertips carried a restrained force, so hot that Nanxia unconsciously shrank her neck.
He stared intently at the woman beneath him, his voice cold and domineering as he uttered two more words: "No."
Nanxia knew he was always domineering, but she never expected him to be this domineering!
It's been over two years since the breakup, and she still won't allow herself to get close to other men? That's really crazy...
What, are you saying that only officials are allowed to set fires while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?
"Ring ring—" Her phone suddenly rang, and she angrily shoved him. "It must be my mom calling me back. Aren't you getting up?"
Song Yanzhi looked at her and had no choice but to get up from her. Nan Xia took out her phone from her handbag, glanced at the number flashing on the screen, and paused.
It was actually a banquet...
It's best not to let this domineering man find out.
"Why didn't you answer?" Song Yanzhi silently took in the fleeting look of panic on her face.
"I don't want Mom to know I'm still here. I'm leaving." Nan Xia hung up, picked up her bag, and was about to leave when he suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Change my medicine first."
She frowned slightly, tapped the screen a few times to mute the ringtone, placed it upside down on the coffee table, and went to get the first-aid kit.
She quickly applied medicine and bandaged the bastard's wound, unlike how gentle she was last night.
Seeing her anxious expression, Song Yanzhi became even more suspicious. Was it really her mother who called her?
"It's bandaged up." After saying that, she picked up her things and left. She took out her phone after entering the elevator; Shen Yan had just called again, but thankfully it was on silent.
She called back and asked, "What's up?"
"Nanxia, could you come pick me up? I drank a bit too much at a business dinner tonight," Shen Yan asked, her voice slurred with intoxication, as she sat in the private room.
Nanxia really wanted to say, "Don't you have assistants and bodyguards?"
"Send me your location."
“Okay.” Shen Yan was just trying it out, but she didn’t expect her to agree. She was overjoyed and immediately told her the name of the nightclub and the room number.
There was no traffic at night, and she arrived at her destination in half an hour.
When I pushed open the door to the private room, a pungent smell of smoke and alcohol hit me. Inside, there were quite a few fat, big-eared bosses.
Each of them was sitting next to a beautiful young lady.
Chen Yan sat alone in the middle of the sofa, without a single woman beside him.
A group of business owners saw Nan Xia walk up to President Shen and teased, "Isn't this Attorney Nan? Are President Shen and Attorney Nan a couple?"
"Stop joking, Attorney Nan is my friend," Shen Yan said to them.
"Since Attorney Nan is here, why don't you have a few drinks before you leave?" A boss poured her a glass and handed it to her.
"I'm here to pick him up. I can't drive after drinking, sorry," Nan Xia said with a formulaic, indifferent smile, clearly disliking social obligations.
Shen Yan took the boss's cup and threw it on the table unhappily. "She's not here to drink with you. We'll be leaving now. Please make yourselves at home."
After saying that, he took Nanxia's hand and walked out with somewhat unsteady steps.
As they left the nightclub, Shen Yan rubbed his forehead and suddenly said:
"Want to walk with me for a while? I'm feeling a bit dizzy and want to get some fresh air. I wish I could have a cold drink right now."
"So much to do." Nanxia said to him, but still walked with him on the road. There was a milk tea shop right ahead.
The city is quieter and more beautiful at night than during the day, with colorful neon lights everywhere, making it easier to calm one's heart.
Shen Yan looked at the woman walking quietly beside him with her arms crossed, and his heart was pounding uncontrollably—was this what it felt like to be moved?
So this is what it feels like to like someone.
In the car not far behind them, a lighter spun three times between the man's fingers, the flame popped up with a "whoosh" and then went out.
His eyes were fixed on the two people strolling on the road. His knuckles slowly rubbed against the lighter, his eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes, and his cold eyes narrowed slightly.
She did indeed come to see that man again—
After hesitating for a moment, I opened the car door and walked straight over!
Nanxia went ahead and bought two iced drinks, giving one of them to Chen Yan: "Here, you can go back now, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Shen Yan wanted to walk with her a little longer, but before he could speak, a male voice suddenly came from behind him: "What a coincidence? What are you doing here, Young Master Shen?"
The two turned around, and Nanxia looked at the man walking towards them, silently pursing her lips. Was it really a coincidence? Could he have been secretly following me?
"Is Young Master Song also out socializing tonight?" Shen Yan didn't suspect him, assuming it was just a coincidence.
"I came out to buy some things, but my car broke down. I saw you guys here, so I came over to hitch a ride." Song Yanzhi lied very naturally.
Shen Yan didn't know what to say when she heard his words, since she wasn't the one driving.
“You can take a taxi.” Nanxia knew he was lying, but she didn’t dare to call him out on it. What if he suddenly said that she and he had an ambiguous relationship?
"I'm not used to it, it won't take up too much of Attorney Nan's time, let's go." Song Yanzhi suppressed his anger, said in a deep voice, and walked towards her car.
The two people behind had no choice but to follow.
As soon as the car was unlocked, he got into the front passenger seat.
Shen Yan could only sit alone in the back. Nan Xia glanced at the man beside her, but dared not speak out in anger. She started the car and drove away.
"Where does Young Master Shen live?" Song Yanzhi asked.
"Jingming Mansion." His father called him, telling him he had to go back. He guessed that little girl had tattled on him to his parents.
Song Yanzhi leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, lit a cigarette, and narrowed his cold eyes through the smoke. He spoke in a low voice to the woman driving.
"Send Young Master Shen here first."
Nanxia turned to look at him, and could only endure it—
The three people in the car didn't say a word. The atmosphere in the car was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Nan Xia didn't like this feeling and silently stepped on the gas pedal.
When Shen Yan saw that the man was sitting in the passenger seat, she felt a little displeased. Could it be that he also wanted to pursue this woman?
But aren't they mortal enemies? Can't they get along?
I heard that ever since Nanxia became a partner of Dingxin, the two of them have been fighting each other in court, arguing until they are red in the face.
She must be overthinking it. This man could never pursue her, and they could never be together.
-
It was almost eleven o'clock, but the lights were still on in Jingming Mansion.
The living room, with its strong Chinese style, is both imposing and composed, giving off a sense of oppression at first glance.
"You're back?"
Shen Shaohui, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, glanced at his son who walked in and asked in a low voice.
