Chapter 213 Did We Know Each Other Before?
Wei Chizheng paused for a moment, then said, "If you can't sleep, go for a walk downstairs."
This was the first time in three years that he had lied to Mu Jiaojiao. As for the reason, Wei Chizheng couldn't explain it. He just subconsciously didn't want her to know that the woman lived next door.
Mu Jiaojiao walked gracefully over, wanting to put her arm around his waist, but Wei Chizheng instinctively dodged.
Mu Jiaojiao's hand remained suspended in mid-air as she met Wei Chizheng's gaze with confusion. "What... is wrong?"
Wei Chizheng stood with his hands in his pockets, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Jiaojiao, were we really boyfriend and girlfriend before?"
Instantly, Mu Jiaojiao's face turned pale. She asked in a panic, "Steven, do you think I would lie to you? Besides, you've seen the photos; they're proof that we're together."
Three years ago, the first person Wei Chizheng saw after waking up was Mu Jiaojiao. She said she was his fiancée, and Wei Chizheng didn't believe her at first, until Mu Jiaojiao showed him a photo.
Those were group photos of them, many of them. The person in the photos was indeed him. Wei Chizheng even went to get them authenticated. The photos were genuine, with no signs of Photoshop manipulation.
Gradually, Wei Chizheng began to believe what she said.
But three years have passed, and Wei Chizheng still has no feelings for Mu Jiaojiao, even though she has taken the initiative more than once, he has not even the most basic reaction.
But that woman only needed a casual glance or a flirtatious remark to ignite his masculine desires.
Moreover, his feelings for that woman were different; he would get very angry when he saw her being ambiguous with other men.
The urge to provoke the other person's anger.
Mu Jiaojiao panicked and tried her best to prove, "Steven, did someone say something to you? It was Nan Zhi, right? Steven, don't believe anything she says. That woman is scheming. She can't stand to see me doing well. She just wants to seduce you."
Just as Xie Nanzhi said, it was Mu Jiaojiao who was slandering her from beginning to end.
This made Wei Chizheng's heart tip in Xie Nanzhi's favor a little more. He frowned and said, "Go to sleep. I have things to do tomorrow."
After saying that, Wei Chizheng returned to his bedroom without looking back.
But Mu Jiaojiao was destined to be sleepless that night.
She knew all too well what Xie Nanzhi's appearance meant. The lie she had woven for three years was crumbling. Mu Jiaojiao knew that if she didn't take action, she would lose this man forever.
The thought of Xie Nanzhi made Mu Jiaojiao grit her teeth in hatred.
Setting up a branch office is not a simple matter, especially since there are many things to do in the early stages. Wei Chizheng left home early in the morning.
He took the elevator to the underground parking garage, and almost as soon as he stepped inside, he saw Xie Nanzhi leaning against the hood of the car.
The pale pink chiffon blouse was adorned with layered ruffles at the cuffs, which fluttered in the wind. She wore a smoky gray pleated skirt that reached her knees, making her bare calves appear even whiter.
Noticing Wei Chizheng's gaze, Xie Nanzhi teased from afar, "Aren't my legs white and straight?"
Wei Chi snapped out of his daze, averted his gaze, and walked straight toward his car.
However, Xie Nanzhi had no intention of letting him off so easily. She actually followed Wei Chizheng and got into the car even faster than him.
Wei Chizheng, his face grim, said speechlessly, "Get out of the car."
Xie Nanzhi smiled playfully, "My car is restricted from driving today, can you give me a ride? I'll treat you to breakfast."
As she spoke, Xie Nanzhi took out the xiaolongbao she had prepared beforehand, presenting them to the public like a treasure, "I made them myself, you'll definitely like them, try them."
Her eyes were bright, and she had dimples when she smiled. Wei Chizheng suddenly had an idea: he didn't want to disappoint her.
Wei Chizheng picked up a steamed bun as if possessed and took a bite. The soft and glutinous bun skin wrapped around the tender and juicy meat filling, and the outer skin was soaked in juice. He never knew that this kind of snack in China could be so delicious.
In just a few bites, Wei Chizheng swallowed a steamed bun.
Xie Nanzhi handed him the bun promptly; seeing him put the last bite into his mouth, she handed him the second bun.
Before long, Xie Nanzhi finished all the buns in her lunchbox, but Wei Chizheng still felt like he wanted more.
Xie Nanzhi smiled brightly, "Isn't it delicious?"
Yes, it suits his taste perfectly.
But how did she know he would like to eat steamed buns?
Wei Chi asked a question he had wanted to ask last night, "Have we known each other before?"
Xie Nanzhi wasn't in a hurry. He was so smart that he didn't need her to say anything more.
Xie Nanzhi fastened her seatbelt and sat up straight. "If you don't believe me, there's no point in me saying anything more. But there's one thing I can tell you clearly: I like you, I like you a lot, and I would never hurt you. Also, no matter who's by your side, no matter how many women you have, I will take you back, at any cost."
For a moment, Wei Chizheng felt a tightness in his chest. This feeling was strange and something he had never experienced before.
Until Xie Nanzhi kissed his cheek and said softly, "Let's drive."
Wei Chizheng was taken aback for a moment, then stepped on the gas.
Not long after, Wei Chizheng parked his car downstairs at the Nanzheng Group building, an entire building that belonged to Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi unbuckled her seatbelt, and Wei Chizheng casually asked while holding the steering wheel with one hand, "Nanzheng is coming. Nan is you, but who is Zheng?"
Xie Nanzhi paused, her hand resting on the car door. Standing beside the door, she said, "My love."
Wei Chizheng looked at the ring on her ring finger. It must have been a gift from her husband. Was her husband and her lover the same person?
Just then, Mu Lin's voice came over, "President Nan, President Nan."
Xie Nanzhi turned around and saw Mu Lin running over in a daze. Xie Nanzhi was speechless. She shouldn't have told him that Wei Chizheng had brought her to the company.
Mu Lin greeted Xie Nanzhi perfunctorily, "Good morning, Ms. Nan. The person in the car must be Mr. Steven."
Xie Nanzhi crossed her arms and gave him a disgruntled look.
Mu Lin had already turned into a sycophant and rushed to the window. When he saw Wei Chizheng's face, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. "You, you must be Mr. Steven. You are indeed a handsome man."
Mu Lin stared at Wei Chizheng like a madman, while Wei Chizheng looked at him with obvious disgust.
It's true what they say, like boss, like employee; they're all such awful people.
Wei Chizheng frowned. "Hello."
Mu Lin pressed his hands against the car window, craning his neck inside, eagerly trying to get close to him. "Mr. Steven, I admire you very much. My name is Mu Lin, please remember me."
Wei Chizheng gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Mu Lin was reluctant to leave. If Xie Nanzhi hadn't pulled him out, he didn't know how long he would have been embarrassed.
Mu Lin stared longingly in the direction Wei Chizheng had left. Xie Nanzhi really wanted to kick him. "Mu Lin, that's enough."
Mu Lin's eyes were red. "It's been three years. I can't believe I can still see Second Master and Sister-in-law. Do you know how excited I am? Waaah, I missed Second Master so much."
Xie Nanzhi muttered something about being spineless before getting down to business, "You said you've found out the inside story of Yanta Tower?"
