Chapter 340 Are you a tapeworm in my stomach?
Wei Chizheng still harbored resentment about the three years she missed. He had no idea how she managed to get through it all on her own; even he might not have been able to do as well as she had.
Xie Nanzhi looked up at the man to her side and reached out to take his hand that was on her shoulder.
His hands were rough, with calluses on his knuckles from years of holding a pen, yet they always gave her the most reassuring sense of security.
Xie Nanzhi said, "Wei Chizheng, I am very happy to have given birth to them. Because they are my and your children, I have never regretted it."
The warm, pale yellow light cast a soft shadow on Wei Chizheng's face. He didn't speak, but simply leaned down and gently hugged her.
His chin rested on the top of her head, and his warm breath landed on the crook of her neck.
"Zhizhi, I owe you for the rest of my life."
Xie Nanzhi's heart felt as if it had been soaked in warm water, melting completely. She smiled and whispered, "Then I'll punish you by making you good to me for the rest of your life."
Wei Chizheng let go of her and reached out to tuck the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear. "One lifetime isn't enough. I want lifetimes to come."
As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down to kiss her lips. The moment their lips touched, it wasn't a fierce act of plunder, but rather a tender exploration.
Wei Chizheng's lips gently brushed against the corner of her lips, like a feather brushing against her heart, and then he gently pressed down to hold that softness between his teeth.
Xie Nanzhi subconsciously tensed her back, but his arms wrapped around her waist even tighter. His palms pressed against the fabric of her lower back, and the warm touch seeped through the fabric, making her skin tingle. She unconsciously shrank into his arms.
For an old married couple, this kind of thing happens naturally.
Wei Chizheng's fingertips gently caressed the curve of her waist, the friction against the soft fabric sending shivers down her spine. His other hand instinctively cradled the back of her neck, his knuckles lightly brushing against her earlobe, causing her to involuntarily turn her head.
Xie Nanzhi looked at him, her watery eyes filled with an ambiguous light. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingertips unconsciously digging into the collar of his shirt, her fingertips brushing against the warm skin of his neck, clearly feeling the beating of his pulse.
Their breaths gradually intertwined, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them.
Wei Chizheng tilted his head slightly and kissed her deeper, his tongue gently parting her teeth. Instantly, Xie Nanzhi's fingertips tightened, and her waist trembled slightly involuntarily.
Perhaps sensing her nervousness, Wei Chizheng slowed his movements, moved his lips to the corner of her lips, and gently pecked at them, while his thumb continued to gently circle her waist, as if to soothe her or tease her.
"Zhizhi, do you know how beautiful you look when you're moved?"
So beautiful that he was captivated, obsessed, and unable to resist...
Wei Chizheng even wondered why her figure was better than before she had given birth, even though she had two children.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't resist his temptation, her porcelain-white face turning bright red. "Wei Chizheng, can you please not talk at a time like this?"
He chuckled softly, his breath brushing against her flushed lips, "Are you shy?"
She didn't speak, but buried her face in the crook of his neck, her nose brushing against his Adam's apple, feeling it roll slightly.
Wei Chizheng pulled her into his arms, pressing her chest tightly against his, so they could clearly feel each other's intense heartbeats.
Xie Nanzhi was also groping, her fingertips gently sliding down his spine. When she touched his waist, Wei Chizheng's body stiffened abruptly. He then lowered his head and bit her earlobe, his voice hoarse, "Zhizhi, if you call it a stop now, your husband won't listen."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
...
The next morning, Xie Nanzhi was woken up by a phone call from Zhou Mubin. When she woke up, Wei Chizheng had already left.
She glanced at the time in a daze; it was past nine o'clock.
Zhou Mubin's tone was somewhat anxious, "Nanzhi, I want to discuss something with you."
Xie Nanzhi leaned back on the pillow, her eyes still closed. "Anything but asking you to arrange a meeting with Cui Xiao is fine."
Zhou Mubin's face darkened. "Damn it, are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"
Xie Nanzhi opened her eyes and said speechlessly, "A lawyer as dignified as Zhou, what else can you ask me for help with besides matters of the heart?"
Zhou Mubin, with a shameless and ingratiating tone, pleaded, "Nanzhi, please help me this once. For the sake of our childhood friendship, I'm begging you."
Xie Nanzhi said bluntly, "Hey Lao Zhou, what exactly are you trying to do? If you really like her, then show some sincerity and pursue her. If you don't have that intention, then you should go somewhere cool and stay away."
Zhou Mubin fell silent.
Actually, he's been thinking about this problem too.
During this period, it never stopped.
Zhou Mubin thought he was just unwilling to accept it. She had liked him for so many years, how could she just stop liking him like that?
So he didn't go to see Cui Xiao for the past two months, thinking that he would naturally let it go with time, but that's not the case at all.
That's how we got the phone call we have today.
Zhou Mubin: "I don't know, Nanzhi, I really don't know."
Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath and said gently, "Old Zhou, you need to understand your own heart first. That's more important than anything else. That's all for now, I'm hanging up."
Xie Nanzhi hung up the phone hastily, and Zhou Mubin tossed his phone onto his desk, his stern brows never relaxing.
Just then, the HR manager knocked and came in. "Attorney Zhou, it's time for the interview."
Zhou Mubin hummed in agreement, "I'll be right there."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Mubin appeared in the reception room on time.
He and two HR employees served as interviewers, interviewing candidates for his assistant position.
The first interviewee was a recent graduate from a top-tier university (985 Project), with zero work experience, eloquent, and most importantly, young, beautiful, and full of energy.
Zhou Mubin glanced at it, then frowned in disgust. "Next."
The second one has ten years of work experience and is clearly a capable and strong woman. She used to be a secretary for a top ten company abroad and is also quite good-looking.
Even so, Zhou Mubin still shook his head.
The third is a male assistant who has been working in the legal field for many years, but he has never passed the bar exam, which is why he has been working as an assistant.
The fourth one was young, capable, and good-looking, but unfortunately, Zhou Mubin still didn't like her.
After going through the list, none of the ten assistant candidates carefully selected by the HR department met Zhou Mubin's standards.
The HR manager was speechless, but dared not lose his temper, so he could only say tactfully, "Attorney Zhou, this is the seventh batch of people we've selected for you in the last few months. Don't you like any of them?"
Zhou Mubin rubbed his temples, his eyes cold. "Do you think anyone is qualified for this position?"
The HR manager smiled and said, "Attorney Zhou, we'll only know once we try, and several of the interviewees have very good resumes."
Zhou Mubin suddenly stood up. "Are you sure you're not wasting my time?"
