Chapter 47 Nanzhi, I just want to hug you
Xie Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xie Xiyan had gone far away. However, thinking back to the conversation she had just overheard, her beautiful brows furrowed.
She never expected Xie Xiyan to target her biological father.
A deep voice suddenly drifted over, "Miss Nan, have you had enough of hugging?"
Only then did Xie Nanzhi remember the man whose waist she was holding.
Xie Nanzhi looked up and quickly let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now, so..."
Xie Nanzhi looked apologetic and embarrassed. But what was he doing here? Could he also be here for a "blind date"?
Her gaze held a hint of surprise. "Mr. Wei, what are you doing here?"
Wei Chizheng changed his clothes. Although it was still a black suit, there were subtle differences in the style. He paired it with a dark blue shirt, and the sapphire blue cufflinks exuded nobility.
His gaze fell on Xie Nanzhi, and after a pause, he said softly, "I'm in the meeting room upstairs, and I just happened to come over to see a friend."
Oh, I see.
As long as it's not a large-scale "blind date" with her, it's fine.
Xie Nanzhi smiled slightly and took her leave, saying, "Then go find your friends, I'll be going now."
Xie Nanzhi lifted the hem of her light blue skirt, her pearly attire shimmering under the crystal chandelier, making her look like a mermaid about to swim away from him.
Wei Chizheng grabbed her wrist uncontrollably, the blue hem of her skirt echoing his sapphire blue cufflinks. His heart raced as he watched her turn her head.
Xie Nanzhi, "What's wrong?"
Meeting her gaze, Wei Chizheng clenched his fists, his Adam's apple bobbing. He could feel an unprecedented tension within him. "If it had been another man just now, would you have hugged him too?"
Xie Nanzhi was taken aback.
The strange thing is, is this question even important?
Seeing how serious Wei Chizheng was, Xie Nanzhi also thought about it seriously and then gave him a serious answer.
Yes, I will.
Her actions were entirely instinctive; she would have done the same if it had been a strange man.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chizheng released his grip.
Whether it was Xie Nanzhi's imagination or not, she seemed to see disappointment on his face.
Just as Xie Nanzhi was about to continue investigating, Wei Chizheng stared at her intently and said, "Pei Jingchuan is here too."
Xie Nanzhi subconsciously looked back, but there were too many guests, and she did not see Pei Jingchuan in her line of sight.
Just then, Xie Nanzhi felt a hand under her chin, gently turning her gaze straight ahead.
She held her head high, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt.
Then Wei Chizheng said, "Miss Nan."
Xie Nanzhi casually removed his hand, her brows furrowing slightly. "What does Mr. Wei want to say?"
Seeing the woman's displeased expression, Wei Chizheng didn't ask any further questions. "Never mind, it's nothing."
Hands in his pockets, a tall and imposing man. He looked incredibly powerful, but the melancholy on his face seemed out of place.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't understand him, but she didn't need to try.
After all, aside from having a common goal, they would have no further interaction.
He didn't want to say more, and Xie Nanzhi didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions. "Then you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."
Wei Chizheng remained calm and composed, nodding, "Okay."
Xie Nanzhi walked forward step by step. She could vaguely feel Wei Chizheng's gaze lingering on her, making her feel uneasy and instinctively quickening her pace.
After wandering around for a while, Xie Nanzhi found a place to rest, and Xi Bei, whom she hadn't been able to catch a glimpse of, appeared.
Xi Bei sat down next to her with a smug smile, like a matchmaker. "Nan Zhi, is there anyone you like? How did your chat with Brother He go?"
Xie Nanzhi, holding a glass of juice, looked Xibei up and down. "Are you changing careers?"
Zhou Mubin and Xibei have already discussed it, and Xie Nanzhi already knows the true purpose of the welcome dinner.
So Xibei chuckled and said, "Oh, isn't this all for your own good? Besides, love is a woman's nourishment. You can live without marriage, but you can't live without love. You can live without a husband, but you can't live without a man."
Xie Nanzhi: "Hehe, I laughed."
Xibei took her arm and said coquettishly, "Really, would a good sister lie to you? Tell me quickly, is there anything that can make your heart flutter?"
Xie Nanzhi shook her head without even thinking, "Ugly and deformed."
Xibei muttered to herself, "It shouldn't be like this. How could it be someone ugly? Look at the one on the right, oh my god, how handsome he is! Handsome beyond compare! But I don't know such a handsome man. This shouldn't be."
Xie Nanzhi glanced at him curiously, and following Xi Bei's direction, she saw a handsome face.
Wei Chizheng.
Her pupils gleamed with an unnatural panic, and Xie Nanzhi coughed violently, "Cough cough cough..."
Xibei asked worriedly, "What happened? Did she choke?"
Xibei handed her a tissue, and Xie Nanzhi hurriedly looked away, her face flushed, whether from choking or something else, it was hard to tell.
"Nanzhi, a handsome guy is looking at you."
Xie Nanzhi ignored her, but her actions were noticeably less composed than usual. "I've noticed you're talking a lot more tonight."
Xie Nanzhi stood up and casually said, "I'm going to rest in the lounge for a while."
It's true that I wanted to rest, and it's also true that I wanted to find some peace and quiet.
Xie Nanzhi had already decided when she would go downstairs.
She went up to the second floor, found the lounge, pushed open the door, found a seat, and turned up the air conditioning temperature.
She relaxed and closed her eyes to think about the problem.
No one in this world is immune to curiosity about their origins, and Xie Nanzhi was no exception. She was even considering whether she should go and meet Wang Shufen.
Just then, the door to the lounge was opened.
Xie Nanzhi suddenly opened her eyes, her brows furrowed. She then stood up, avoiding the gaze of the man walking towards her, and hurried away.
Just as they were about to pass each other, the man reached out and blocked her path.
Xie Nanzhi's eyes were icy cold; she didn't even glance at him out of the corner of her eye. "A good dog doesn't block the way. Doesn't President Pei even understand this basic principle?"
Pei Jingchuan blocked her path, his tall figure as immovable as a majestic mountain.
Seeing that he couldn't understand human language, Xie Nanzhi had no intention of communicating with him. She planned to walk around him, but Pei Jingchuan suddenly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
Three months of agonizing longing were finally fulfilled at this moment. He tightened his arms around her, his heart pounding in his chest. "Nanzhi, the last time I saw you, I wanted to hug you like this."
When you hate someone, even their breathing becomes something to vomit.
Smelling the scent that once made her feel most at ease, Xie Nanzhi felt physically nauseous. "Pei Jingchuan, let me go, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Pei Jingchuan doesn't want to let go, and he never intends to let go in this lifetime.
Regardless of Xie Nanzhi's attitude, he was determined to keep pestering her, saying, "I just want to hug you."
Unfortunately, all she wanted to do was get him in.
However, Xie Nanzhi suddenly had another idea, and she quietly switched the phone in her palm to the recording function.
Xie Nanzhi sneered, "Pei Jingchuan, the person I saw in H City was you, wasn't it? You also orchestrated Liu Chen's car accident, didn't you?"
