Chapter 131 Nan Zhi, Can You Stay With Me a Little Longer?
The black umbrella shielded her entire body, and as the light dimmed, the man stood beside her.
Xie Nanzhi glanced at him sideways, "What are you doing here, Mr. Wei?"
Wei Chizheng held an umbrella in one hand and casually put the other in his pocket. The two walked in sync. He said casually, "I was running some errands and happened to pass by and saw your car parked on the side of the road, so I came over to check. I didn't expect you to actually be here."
In this gloomy, rainy weather, what kind of urgent matter would someone choose to travel in such weather?
Xie Nanzhi drew a big question mark.
Besides, there's nothing within a ten-kilometer radius of this suburb, so why would he come to a place like this to do business?
Xie Nanzhi drew another big question mark.
Stepping out of the courtyard, they walked side by side on the country road. Perhaps it was the rainy atmosphere, but Xie Nanzhi felt that this stroll in the rain carried a hint of ambiguity.
Especially when they didn't speak, the allure that arose with the dampness was like a net, enveloping Xie Nanzhi.
She coughed lightly. "What brings you here?"
Picking up people.
However, it's not appropriate to say this to Xie Nanzhi.
Wei Chizheng looked her over with a half-smile, staring at her for a few seconds before a thin smile curved his lips. "Miss Nan, am I not a thing?"
Xie Nanzhi was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
She blinked, suddenly remembering her complaints with Mu Lin.
This Mulin actually filed a complaint.
As expected, like master, like servant; she's been betrayed by Mu Lin.
Xie Nanzhi's face flushed red and then turned pale. She puffed out her cheeks and kicked at the small puddle in front of her.
Seeing her cute and amusing appearance, Wei Chizheng's smile deepened. "Miss Nan, why aren't you saying anything?"
Xie Nanzhi retorted, "You want to hear me make excuses?"
Wei Chizheng paused for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Can I interpret this as 'giving up in the face of adversity'?"
I can't just beat her up because of a joke.
Wei Chizheng doesn't seem like the type to hit women.
Xie Nanzhi muttered softly, "At worst, you can scold me too, I won't get angry."
That's incredibly clever.
Wei Chizheng's eyes were full of doting affection.
If he weren't so short-lived, he would definitely want to possess her for life.
pity……
The light in Wei Chizheng's eyes dimmed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he remained silent.
The two drove their own cars back to downtown Beijing. It was already quite late, but the rain had stopped.
Xie Nanzhi originally wanted to drive straight back to the hotel, but Wei Chizheng parked his car in front of hers, prompting Xie Nanzhi to curse him as being crazy.
Watching Wei Chizheng get out of the car, she rolled down the window. "Is there anything else?"
Wei Chizheng didn't stand on ceremony at all, "I'm hungry, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
Xie Nanzhi replied decisively, "I'm not hungry."
Wei Chi reached into the window, unlocked the car, and then got in through the passenger door. “I know a late-night diner that you’ll definitely like.”
Xie Nanzhi stared at him, one hand on the steering wheel, and said, "Mr. Wei, it seems I have already rejected you."
Wei Chizheng adhered to the principle of arguing even when there was no reason. Being able to spend even one more minute with her was a gift from God. He smiled and said, "You only said you weren't hungry, you didn't say you weren't going."
Xie Nanzhi, "..."
Just as Xie Nanzhi was speechless, a gurgling sound suddenly came from inside.
Wei Chizheng glanced at her stomach, his dark eyes full of smiles. "Your stomach is protesting, Miss Nan. Let's drive."
Speechless and embarrassed.
Xie Nanzhi blushed.
I'm so annoyed.
Her belly is so disappointing.
In the end, Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chi managed to get into Midnight Diner, which is similar to a private kitchen. There is no menu or fixed dishes; what you eat depends on what the chef makes for you.
However, to Xie Nanzhi's surprise, there were quite a few people here at midnight.
Judging from the looks of it, they are all white-collar workers who have been working overtime until this late, and they are looking forward to a comforting late-night snack after a long day.
Xie Nanzhi thought, perhaps this is the meaning of life.
Xie Nanzhi found a seat and sat down, and Wei Chizheng sat down next to her.
It was at this moment that Wei Chizheng took off his black coat, and Xie Nanzhi realized that the fabric of his pure white shirt was completely soaked on the left shoulder.
She remembered that when they were sharing an umbrella, he had tilted most of the umbrella towards her...
A strange feeling stirred within her.
While waiting for their meal, Xie Nanzhi would inadvertently meet his gaze, only to quickly look away again.
Xie Nanzhi frowned. She always felt that Wei Chizheng was giving her a signal that he was interested in her, but she had asked him once unintentionally before.
Wei Chizheng's answer was firm: he never meant that.
Holding the lemonade in front of her, Xie Nanzhi took a sip absentmindedly; she couldn't afford to be presumptuous anymore.
After waiting a few more minutes, the owner brought Xie Nanzhi a bowl of tonkotsu ramen. The owner stretched the noodles himself, and the broth was also made by the owner that day. She took a small sip and the taste was enough to amaze her taste buds.
Then, Xie Nanzhi took another big bite. Perhaps she ate too fast, because she accidentally got soup all over the corners of her mouth. Just as she was about to wipe it, someone beat her to it.
A tissue fell onto the corner of her mouth, and Wei Chizheng's handsome face drew closer, filling her entire pupils.
It's really beautiful.
How can there be such a handsome man?
She snapped back to reality and realized how dangerous her thoughts were.
Xie Nanzhi immediately snatched the tissue from Wei Chizheng's hand, saying, "I can do it myself."
He has someone he truly loves in his heart, how could she think such nonsense?
She wiped herself off quickly and finished the bowl of noodles as fast as she could.
Compared to her wolfing down her food, Wei Chizheng ate much more elegantly, chewing slowly and carefully, without even a speck of oil on his lips.
Xie Nanzhi was getting a little impatient. When she looked again, it seemed that his face hadn't decreased much.
She wanted to say that even the concubines in the ancient imperial palace didn't have his graceful demeanor. Taking a deep breath, Xie Nanzhi picked up her bag and said, "Mr. Wei, please enjoy your meal. I'll be going now."
Xie Nanzhi was about to get up when her hand, which was hanging by her side, was suddenly grabbed.
Xie Nanzhi glanced over subconsciously, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Then Wei Chizheng said, "Nanzhi, can you stay with me a little longer?"
The two locked eyes.
For some reason, Xie Nanzhi couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She must be crazy.
She sat down again without saying a word, regretting her behavior. Xie Nanzhi didn't look at Wei Chizheng, but a faint smile appeared on Wei Chizheng's lips.
The two didn't exchange many words until Wei Chizheng finished his late-night snack and elegantly wiped his mouth.
Xie Nanzhi countered, "May I ask if we can leave now?"
Wei Chi nodded.
He slowly stood up and draped his suit jacket over his arm.
Seeing Xie Nanzhi walk ahead first, Wei Chizheng called out to her, "Nanzhi."
Xie Nanzhi was devastated. This person just wouldn't stop.
She turned around, and in the next instant, Wei Chizheng suddenly grabbed her hand.
Xie Nanzhi's body tensed.
