"Zhizhi, what are you doing?"
Bai Xiaolian stared at the computer screen, looking puzzled.
Nan Zhi smiled and made no attempt to hide it, "I'm writing a novel, and I plan to publish it in a while."
"Writing novels, Zhizhi, you're so amazing. I know it's very difficult."
Bai Xiaolian was surprised, but also a little interested, and joked:
"Could you let me see your novel?"
Nan Zhi nodded, "Of course you can. If you're interested, you can come in and take a look yourself. The study door is always open."
"I'm just curious about what you wrote, Zhizhi. Maybe I can give you some advice."
Nan Zhi readily agreed, "That would be even better. Actually, I write romance stories."
Bai Xiaolian was taken aback. "Romance story? What kind of romance story?"
Nan Zhi glanced at the screen with a smile, then remained silent for a long time before speaking:
"It's just a story I made up, nothing special."
Bai Xiaolian nodded as if she understood, "Then cousin, you continue creating, I won't disturb you anymore."
Just as he turned to leave, he seemed to remember something else.
Asked:
"Mr. Chen, would you like some milk? Would you like me to bring you a glass?"
Nanzhi glanced down at the milk on the table, then smiled and said:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."
Having known Bai Xiaolian for so long, Nan Zhi has come to know her quite well. She is a very well-behaved girl from a poor family. If she didn't have such parents, she might have been very successful.
So when she brought Bai Xiaolian a glass of milk, she didn't think much of it and never suspected anything.
Bai Xiaolian walked out with a gentle smile on her lips, then went to the kitchen to get a new glass of milk, and went straight to Shen Xingmian's study.
"Knock knock knock"
"Mr. Shen, my cousin asked me to bring you a cup of hot milk."
Bai Xiaolian knocked on the door and said timidly.
"Enter."
The person inside spoke concisely, saying only one word: Shen Xingmian was in a video conference, but upon hearing that it was Nan Zhi who had sent it, he made an exception and allowed Bai Xiaolian to enter.
Otherwise, he would really dislike such outsiders.
Shen Xingmian was wearing headphones and listening to the work reports from the people in the video.
He didn't even glance at Bai Xiaolian.
Bai Xiaolian walked over with small, quick steps, placed the milk on the table, hesitated for a long time, and then, as if having made up her mind, spoke:
"Mr. Shen, you should drink it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold soon."
Shen Xingmian didn't hear her words, after all, she was wearing headphones and Bai Xiaolian's voice was low.
Seeing that Shen Xingmian remained unmoved, Bai Xiaolian took a deep breath, walked around the desk to Shen Xingmian's side, secretly clenched her fist, then picked up the cup of hot milk and handed it to Shen Xingmian.
"Mr. Shen, please have some milk first."
A glass of milk suddenly appeared in front of Shen Xingmian, and he instinctively leaned back.
The people on the other end of the video call naturally saw a pair of hands.
Shen Xingmian glanced to the side and saw that it was Bai Xiaolian. His face immediately fell.
He reached out and turned off the live stream, then was about to stand up.
Bai Xiaolian was terrified when she saw him like this.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me wipe it for you."
A cup of warm milk was poured onto Shen Xingmian's chest.
The white shirt was soaked with milk and still warm, but thankfully not too hot.
Bai Xiaolian quickly took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe Shen Xingmian's clothes.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Xingmian stood up with a sullen face.
They dodged it directly.
"Get out of here."
Bai Xiaolian bit her lip, her body trembling slightly. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."
It's easy to imagine how flustered Bai Xiaolian was when she did something like this for the first time.
However, Shen Xingmian had no good feelings towards her whatsoever. He usually only treated her out of respect for Nan Zhi, but now this woman was clearly plotting against him.
Thinking of this, Shen Xingmian's gaze sharpened considerably. He looked at her calmly and said:
"Whatever your purpose, please leave my house as soon as possible."
Bai Xiaolian looked at Shen Xingmian in disbelief. This was the first time she had made a mistake. She had cooked and cleaned for them for so long before, and she had done quite a lot.
But what I got in return was, "Please leave as soon as possible."
This dealt a severe blow to Bai Xiaolian's self-esteem.
"I really didn't mean to, Mr. Shen. My cousin asked me to bring you a glass of milk. I was worried it would get cold, so I thought I'd let you drink it sooner."
Shen Xingmian's expression was cold as she said indifferently to Bai Xiaolian:
"Don't make so many excuses. As my wife's cousin, you should keep your distance from me, but what you're doing now is something I find utterly disgusting."
Regardless of Bai Xiaolian's mood, Shen Xingmian continued:
"I won't tell Nanzhi about this. I don't want her to be sad or upset because of someone like you. Of course, I won't force you. Once you find a place, leave as soon as possible."
Bai Xiaolian stared at Shen Xingmian in disbelief. This was the first time Shen Xingmian had spoken so much to her, yet every word pierced her heart.
She is someone who is looked down upon because she has no power or influence.
No matter how good Nan Zhi is, her Nan family is not a wealthy or noble family, yet she has won the favor of the Shen family and received praise from so many people.
Even her mother was determined to make sure she got along well with Nan Zhi, to curry favor with Nan Zhi, and not to anger her.
These were the words her mother said to her before sending her here.
Bai Xiaolian initially ignored her mother's words, remaining true to her original intentions and treating Nanzhi with sincerity.
But why? The injustice of fate, the exhaustion of work, and the contrast with Nanzhi repeatedly plunged her heart into the mire of inferiority.
She felt envious and jealous, but didn't want to show it; Nanzhi was very good to her.
"Don't worry, I'll move out as soon as possible."
Bai Xiaolian lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you for not telling Nanzhi."
After saying that, Bai Xiaolian turned and left.
Nan Zhi was completely unaware of this, and didn't hear Shen Xingmian say anything when she went to sleep that night.
The next day, Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian were not home, so Bai Xiaolian took a day off to pack her luggage.
After finishing, I went to Nanzhi's study.
She turned on her computer, and on the desktop was a folder called "My Husband is Very Thoughtful," which contained a novel written by Nan Zhi.
Bai Xiaolian was initially shocked by the novel, but eventually became completely engrossed in it, and before she knew it, two hours had passed.
When she came to her senses, she was already completely absorbed in it.
The first time she saw this type of novel, she was transported into a book and became entangled in love and hate with the male supporting character.
You can see some of the ways Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian get along from it, but Bai Xiaolian just thought that she had added their daily life into it.
Staring at the words on the screen, a bold yet terrifying idea suddenly arose in Bai Xiaolian's mind.
"If only she had written all of these."
