Even the strongest girl has moments of weakness.
Nan Zhi suddenly realized that Shen Xingmian was her weakness.
Unbeknownst to her, this man had become so important in her heart.
Seeing the tears in Nan Zhi's eyes, Shen Xingmian's eyes flashed with panic.
Then, he reached out and pulled the girl into his arms.
"What are you thinking? How could I possibly think like that?"
Nanzhi was held in his arms, smelling his familiar scent, which felt so warm and safe.
Nan Zhi sniffed and spoke in a muffled voice:
"You don't care if I go abroad? You don't care if we don't see each other for two years?"
So that's what it was about.
Shen Xingmian couldn't help but chuckle. He lowered his head and lightly kissed the top of the girl's head; it still smelled of jasmine.
"How could I not care?"
The man chuckled, then continued:
"Otherwise, why do you think I haven't contacted you for so long?"
Nan Zhi was still somewhat confused when Shen Xingmian's cold voice continued:
“The Shen family is too large; I can’t just abandon them without a word.”
"Miss, he means he wants to go to the US with you."
The Meow Meow Machine spoke excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi finally realized what was happening. Her eyes lit up, and she jumped out of Shen Xingmian's arms.
So, are you going with me?
Her eyes shone like stars, and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom.
She radiated a dazzling light, causing Shen Xingmian's eyes to darken.
He stretched out his index finger and gently stroked the girl's delicate nose.
"Um."
A single word completely shattered Nam Gyi.
She jumped up excitedly and hugged Shen Xingmian's neck.
Fearing the girl would fall, Shen Xingmian deliberately held her back.
Nanzhi lowered her head and looked at the man's god-like face.
With a soft "muma," he covered Shen Xingmian's lips with his own.
The man's body stiffened, a dark glint appearing in his eyes.
Nanzhi was completely unaware of what was happening and excitedly showered him with praise.
"Shen Xingmian, you are like April in the human world, you are my love, my warmth, my hope."
Shen Xingmian: "......"
The girl, so beautiful and charming, chattered away with lovely words.
Shen Xingmian stared at Nan Zhi's face, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
"Zhizhi, you..."
Just as she was about to say something, Nanzhi jumped down with a plop.
She jogged a few steps and arrived at Shen Xingmian's desk.
Looking at the pile of processed and unprocessed documents on the table, Nanzhi frowned.
Then, he raised his head, tilted it, and with a bright smile on his lips, asked:
"So, you've been working overtime for the past ten days or so?"
Shen Xingmian: "......"
After a long silence, he looked at the girl and spoke:
"It's Hu Lai..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nan Zhi spoke calmly:
"Don't use Hu Lai as an excuse. He's hopelessly stupid, but doesn't it hurt to use him as an excuse every time?"
Shen Xingmian: "......"
Hu Lai, who had just reached the door, thought: "..."
"Nanzhi, who are you calling stupid? As expected of you, you're a wicked woman. You must have slandered me to Lao Shen quite a bit, right?"
Hu Lai stood at the door, looking furious, as if he was about to explode with anger.
Nanzhi: "..."
It's definitely not good to talk badly about others behind their backs.
But it would be embarrassing if you were caught talking badly about someone.
Nanzhi almost bit her tongue.
Indeed, one should not speak ill of others behind their backs.
A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed her face.
He quickly composed himself and looked at Hu Lai.
He opened his mouth with a smile:
"Hey? You've misunderstood me, Hu Lai. What I just said wasn't meant to be an insult."
Then she glanced at Shen Xingmian.
"Shen Xingmian is trying to make you take the blame again. I only spoke up because I couldn't stand by and watch."
He took a few steps toward Hu Lai, his smile genuine.
"I didn't mean to say you're stupid. It's that he thinks you're stupid and a scapegoat, so I argued back. I was doing this for your own good."
As she spoke, Nanzhi became dejected and sighed, saying:
"I never expected you to misunderstand me like this. I'm so heartbroken."
Seeing Nan Zhi's sincere expression, Hu Lai began to believe her somewhat.
He asked again, "Is everything you said true?"
Nanzhi nodded emphatically, "Why would I lie to you?"
Hu Lai: "...Have you lied to me enough already?"
Nan Zhi: "..." She raised her head and looked at Hu Lai seriously:
“I was wrong before, but this time I’m really telling the truth. You can ask him if you don’t believe me.”
As he spoke, he pointed his index finger at Shen Xingmian, who was watching the show from the side.
Shen Xingmian: "......"
"Miss, you're definitely a drama queen."
Meow Meow Machine was dumbfounded. Nan Zhi can even act? That's incredible!
Nan Zhi looked at Shen Xingmian with smug satisfaction.
He stood there, looking at me with a half-smile.
Nanzhi crossed her arms and glared back.
Shen Xingmian: "......"
Hu Lai looked heartbroken as she stared at Shen Xingmian, her face filled with disbelief.
"Old Shen, in your heart, am I just a fool? Or a scapegoat?"
Shen Xingmian was silent for a moment, then looked at Hu Lai with a calm gaze, raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Aren't you one?"
