Chapter 58 The Unexpected Ambiguity
The following day, Xie Nanzhi returned to the port city.
Fearing that Luo Meijuan would retaliate again, she brought Wang Shufen back to Hong Kong as well. Now that there were two of them, Xie Nanzhi couldn't continue staying in a hotel, so she rented an apartment and moved in that same day.
Living under the same roof made Xie Nanzhi feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Wang Shufen wouldn't bother her. She was busy during the day and only came back to sleep at night, sometimes not even seeing her for a whole day.
Before we knew it, it was time for the bidding at Dejia Wharf.
Xie Nanzhi approved a company-wide afternoon off to relax and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
However, Xie Nanzhi didn't leave. She stayed alone until evening before preparing to leave. After leaving the company and getting into the car, her phone rang as she fastened her seatbelt.
Xie Nanzhi saw the note flashing on the screen and answered it after a while.
Xie Nanzhi cleared her throat. "Mr. Wei, is there something you need?"
Then a deep, sexy male voice came from the phone, "Miss Nan, could you please bring me the suit I lent you last time?"
Suit?
Xie Nanzhi took a few seconds to recall the incident.
That time she rode in Wei Chizheng's car, it was too cold inside, so he kindly lent her his suit jacket to wear. At the end, he even said, "Miss Nan, I have a cleanliness obsession. Please return the clothes to me after they are washed." If Wei Chizheng hadn't asked about it today, she would have forgotten about it.
Xie Nanzhi countered, "Now?"
Wei Chizheng said softly, "Yes, thank you for your trouble, Miss Nan. I'll send the address to your phone."
It seems they didn't give her a chance to refuse at all.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Nanzhi drove to the dry cleaners. She hadn't asked about the suit after it was delivered, and if she hadn't received Wei Chizheng's call, she probably wouldn't have remembered to pick it up.
After a lot of trouble, Xie Nanzhi arrived at Wei Chizheng's location, by which time it was completely dark.
Standing outside the "Water and Sky in One Color" club, Xie Nanzhi called Wei Chizheng. She thought that since he was here, he must be entertaining guests, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her, an outsider, to go over.
The call was immediately disconnected, and a message popped up right afterward.
[If you can't leave, Miss Nan, please bring it up.]
Looking at the line of text on the screen, Xie Nanzhi's temper gradually flared up. She felt like she was a errand girl and really wanted to put a QR code in front of him and make him pay hundreds of thousands of yuan for running errands.
Top floor private room.
Wei Chizheng sat in the most prominent position, his slender hand holding his phone. He looked at the single word "good" on the screen and the corners of his lips turned up.
The man next to him saw this scene clearly and couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Wei, whose news did you see that makes you so happy?"
Wei Chizheng smiled faintly and remained silent, turning off his phone screen and placing it on the table. He leaned back on the sofa with his straight back, playing with the red ribbon on his wrist with one hand.
Seeing this, the man became even more curious. After all, Wei Chizheng was a man who rarely smiled and always had a mysterious and unfathomable image. This sudden smile would surely make anyone want to ask him more questions.
The man continued, "It seems she is undoubtedly Mr. Wei's confidante. I really don't know what kind of woman could catch Mr. Wei's eye."
His dark eyes slowly turned to the door, and Wei Chizheng's deep and mysterious face appeared even more charming under the light.
She was not some kind of confidante.
That was his fate.
A few minutes later, Xie Nanzhi arrived at the top floor and found the private room where Wei Chizheng was. She knocked on the door before entering.
The moment the door opened, Xie Nanzhi saw a gaze fixed on her. Following the gaze, she saw Wei Chizheng sitting in the middle.
He still stared at her openly, and Xie Nanzhi really couldn't resist his sudden enthusiasm. She quickly withdrew her gaze and walked towards him.
"Mr. Wei, your clothes."
Wei Chizheng took the suit jacket and said casually, "Since you're here, why don't you sit down for a while?"
Xie Nanzhi raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat puzzled.
She was thinking, "Isn't this guy pushing his luck a bit?"
Before Xie Nanzhi could answer, Wei Chizheng had already pulled her hand and sat her down. He smiled and said, "I've been drinking. Take me home later, Zhizhi."
Xie Nanzhi was stunned. His voice was already deep and slightly hoarse, and with the addition of alcohol, it had an extra touch of masculine sexiness.
He gazed at her tenderly, calling her "Zhizhi" affectionately, and Xie Nanzhi's ears turned red.
She felt that Wei Chizheng was trying to seduce her.
Just then, the man in the same private room joked, "So Mr. Wei has this side to him? Hahaha, I've really seen something new today."
Clearly, they misunderstood her relationship with Wei Chizheng.
Xie Nanzhi was wondering whether she should explain, but to her surprise, Wei Chizheng, taking advantage of his drunkenness, leaned directly against her.
His muscular frame, clad in a white shirt, pressed close to Xie Nanzhi, and through the thin fabric, one could feel the burning heat of his skin.
Especially when his casual, warm breath fell on her neck, Xie Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat.
Then, Wei Chizheng casually said, "Zhizhi, how much of a chance do you have of winning the bid at Dejia Wharf tomorrow?"
So he knew she was going to participate in a bidding process early the next morning, why did he bother her in the middle of the night?
No, Wei Chizheng isn't that kind of bored person. Besides, his behavior tonight is quite different from his usual behavior.
Xie Nanzhi seemed to realize something, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw several men on the side, who were indeed looking at her with surprise.
Xie Nanzhi understood Wei Chizheng's intention. "If the bidding process is fair and just, I'm confident in myself. I'm just afraid there might be some shady dealings involved..."
Wei Chizheng's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the people next to him to hear clearly, "Don't worry, no one dares to slander my people."
Upon hearing this, Xie Nanzhi instinctively looked over, and Wei Chizheng's gaze met hers. She felt as if she were seeing a blazing flame suppressed by a layer of ice. Just as she was about to delve deeper, Wei Chizheng had already looked away.
He smiled and casually picked up the coat Xie Nanzhi had given him, draping it over his arm. "Gentlemen, I can't hold my liquor, so I'll be leaving now. Have fun, and put it on my tab."
Upon hearing this, the group quickly and politely saw them off.
Wei Chizheng stood up and leaned half his body on Xie Nanzhi. Her scent lingered in his nose, and his cold and sharp eyes softened.
"Zhizhi, let's go."
Here we go again.
No one has ever called her that before.
Whether it was because his voice was particularly pleasant or not, Xie Nanzhi didn't feel offended; instead, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.
Xie Nanzhi hummed in agreement and then wrapped her arms around his waist to help him leave the private room in full view of everyone.
Stepping out of the "water and sky blending into one color," the overwhelming dampness and sweltering heat make one feel extremely uncomfortable.
Now that there was no one else around, Xie Nanzhi blurted out, "Can you walk by yourself?"
Wei Chizheng was tall and slender. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Nanzhi's calm face. "Miss Nan, I've had too much to drink. I'm not lying to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Nanzhi let go of her hand.
She saw that Wei Chi was standing firmly, and her eyes were smiling.
See, there's not much, is there?
He also said he wasn't lying to her.
Xie Nanzhi's mood suddenly brightened, and she joked, "You're not calling me 'Zhizhi' anymore?"
The two were about ten centimeters apart. Wei Chizheng put his hands in his pockets and glanced at her. He slowly took half a step forward, making the already short distance even closer. In the instant he lowered his head, it seemed that he touched the tip of her nose.
Wei Chizheng smiled enigmatically, "What? You like me calling you Zhizhi?"
