Chapter 314 Still Has Lingering Feelings for That Scumbag
Wei Chizheng tightened his arms around her, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and greedily inhaled her familiar scent.
That was the belief that sustained him through countless dark nights.
Even before, Wei Chizheng had thought that if she were really gone, he would definitely go and be with her.
He was afraid it would be too dark there, afraid she would be scared, afraid she would be lonely, and he couldn't bear to let her walk alone in the dark.
After a long while, Wei Chizheng's emotions finally calmed down.
"Wife, I want to eat the noodles you make." He suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with a lingering tenderness. "Yangchun noodles." Xie Nanzhi felt sorry for him; even now, there was still lingering fear in his eyes. "Okay."
She was about to get up when Wei Chizheng stopped her.
He looked at her, his eyes serious and determined. "Wife, let's go together."
Xie Nanzhi smiled, her gaze gentle.
The warm kitchen lights dispelled all of Wei Chizheng's unease.
Wei Chizheng stood beside her, not saying a word, just watching her profile, watching her skillful movements, watching her beautiful face in the steamy air.
Xie Nanzhi didn't eat the steaming bowl of noodles. The two of them sat together, and even without saying a word, they felt exceptionally at ease.
Xie Nanzhi thought about it carefully and realized that this unique sense of security was something that no one but Wei Chizheng could give her.
Even before Xie Xiyan appeared, when she was the daughter of the Xie family, this had never happened.
After dinner, Xie Nanzhi learned about Wei Huaibo's situation from Wei Chizheng.
There's not much time left, just a few days.
Wei Chizheng wasn't that grief-stricken, but after all, he was his biological father, and he still felt some strange emotions.
As they chatted, Wei Chizheng mentioned Pei Jingchuan.
This was the first time Wei Chizheng had brought up this person in front of her.
The two sat side by side, and Wei Chizheng turned to look at her. "This time, he's in for a lot of trouble, but a death sentence might not be enough."
Xie Nanzhi knew all too well how difficult Pei Jingchuan was to deal with.
Xie Nanzhi nodded. "Yes, I know."
Xie Nanzhi was deep in thought, pondering how to ensure Pei Jingchuan had no chance of turning things around, when suddenly, the man beside her wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Honey, I don't like it when you think about other men."
Xie Nanzhi snapped out of her daze and looked at him in surprise; the two of them made eye contact.
Wei Chi's jealous streak kicked in again. "Wife, don't tell me you can't bear it?"
How could I not be able to bear it?
Pei Jingchuan had caused her to lose her sight and deceived her feelings. Later, he caused Wei Chizheng to lose his memory for three years. Xie Nanzhi remembered every single one of these things clearly.
How could I not be able to bear it?
Xie Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. "What? In your heart, am I such a soft-hearted person, or do you think I still have feelings for that scumbag?"
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Chizheng forcefully tightened his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. "You dare?"
Xie Nanzhi laughed, with a hint of provocation, "Wei Chizheng, what kind of old-fashioned jealous person are you?"
Wei Chizheng met her gaze, lowered his head and kissed her lips, "Wife, I just can't feel confident around you, what should I do?"
What does it mean to love deeply?
Perhaps it's about always seeing the other person's strengths and always feeling the need to catch up with them.
Upon hearing this, Xie Nanzhi returned his kiss. After a long while, she looked at Wei Chizheng with deep affection and said, "Wei Chizheng, you are so good that I'm afraid I wouldn't be interested in anyone else but you."
...
That evening, Wei Chizheng went to take a shower, and Xie Nanzhi received a call from Zhou Mubin.
Zhou Mubin sighed, "Thank God you didn't come back today, Nanzhi. You have no idea how glad I was when I saw the news about the plane crash that you changed your mind at the last minute."
Xie Nanzhi was unable to return in time. She originally wanted Xibei to visit Wang Shufen at the hospital for her, but she went to another city temporarily, so she sent Zhou Mubin instead.
Zhou Mubin only learned about the news by chance while browsing short videos, and immediately called Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi said, "I never expected that plane would have an accident."
Zhou Mubin said, "Nanzhi, do you know how I feel right now? I just can't describe it. I'll donate money tomorrow to accumulate more merit for you."
Xie Nanzhi chuckled, "You really are my childhood friend."
Zhou Mubin: "That's right."
Xie Nanzhi sat on the sofa, listening to the sound of the flushing water in the bathroom. "By the way, does your girlfriend know you're at the hospital?"
Xie Nanzhi didn't want to trouble Zhou Mubin, frankly speaking, because of Jin Moli.
There was no other way, so they put him in charge.
Mentioning Jin Moli, Zhou Mubin said somewhat listlessly, "Can she still control me?"
Xie Nanzhi teased, "Oh my, straightening your back now?"
Zhou Mubin was annoyed. "I'm not talking to you anymore. We'll talk when I get back."
Xie Nanzhi: "Okay."
Even after hanging up the phone, Zhou Mubin's brows remained furrowed.
For some reason, Zhou Mubin felt that Jin Moli was not the same as before, so he has been attending various social events lately. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to go home.
She wanted to come to the hospital today, but Zhou Mubin didn't agree.
It was late at night, and Wang Shufen went to sleep. She had a caregiver to look after her, and Zhou Mubin finally came out of the inpatient building.
He lingered outside the door, first lighting a cigarette and leaning against the car door to smoke, not wanting to go back, but not knowing where to go.
As the evening breeze blew, Zhou Mubin smoked several cigarettes in a row when suddenly, one of his cronies called him.
Zhou Mubin answered the phone casually, "What's wrong?"
"Hey Zhou, let's hang out! I've finally found someone to help me with that thing you asked me to do last time."
Zhou Mubin asked in confusion, "What did I tell you? I don't know anything about it."
Her friend raised her voice, "It's about that time you asked me to find a partner for Assistant Cui, you've already forgotten?"
Now that you mention it, Zhou Mubin does have a vague recollection of it.
When Cui Xiao went on a blind date last time, Zhou Mubin felt that the person was a good match for her, so he contacted people to help Cui Xiao find a marriage partner.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Zhou Mubin would have forgotten about it.
Zhou Mubin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked, "Any leads?"
"I've got it! The person is right here with me, Brother Zhou. If you have time, come over and give him your opinion. If you think he's suitable, I'll give him Assistant Cui's contact information."
Since he had nothing better to do, Zhou Mubin agreed, "Send me the address."
The location wasn't far, and Zhou Mubin arrived at the drinking party in no time.
They were all rich second-generation heirs from Hong Kong, people from the same circle, and Zhou Mubin was already used to this kind of gathering of spoiled rich kids.
As soon as he appeared, his friend stood up and greeted him, "Brother Zhou, over here."
Bright lights and bustling activity, yet smoky and chaotic.
Zhou Mubin walked in the direction his friend was heading, and someone nearby, being perceptive, made room for him.
As soon as Zhou Mubin sat down, his friend couldn't wait to introduce the man next to him to Zhou Mubin, "Brother Zhou, this is the Mo Ziqian I was talking about. What do you think? Isn't he super handsome?"
