Chapter 255 It's a bit difficult to pursue her.
In the bar, all three of them drank quite a bit, especially Zhou Mubin, who drank a lot of alcohol on his own.
Presumably, Cui Xiao's actions also made him uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, a woman wearing sunglasses was observing. The moment she saw Xie Nanzhi and Xibei, resentment flashed in her eyes.
About half an hour later, Xie Nanzhi quietly sent a message to Wei Chizheng.
Have you finished talking with Mulin?
Wei Chi replied instantly: "Okay, I'm waiting for you in the car."
When his wife finally came out, Wei Chizheng finally had a smile on his face.
Mu Lin guessed the general idea, "It seems I can retire now."
Wei Chi glanced in the direction of the exit and casually said, "Let's go, don't bother seeing me out."
Mu Lin grinned, "Second Master, your way of discarding me after I've served my purpose is too obvious. I'm not leaving today, I'll just be a third wheel and dazzle you to death."
Wei Chizheng looked at him silently, his eyes full of meaning, "In these three years, Nanzhi has really spoiled you all too much."
Mu Lin said smugly, "My sister-in-law is kind."
Indeed, Xie Nanzhi was very lenient with them, unlike Wei Chizheng who had been so strict before.
As a result, Mu Lin revealed his true nature, becoming incredibly mischievous, even daring to make fun of Wei Chi.
Wei Chizheng was amused and smirked, "I have a feeling you have ulterior motives."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lin's expression became somewhat unnatural, and upon closer inspection, his ears were even a little red.
However, Mu Lin vehemently denied it, saying, "How could that be? Second Master, please don't talk nonsense."
It was just a joke before, but looking at it now, it seems like I guessed right.
Wei Chizheng added, "When Nanzhi mentioned it last time, she said that it was Xibei's first kiss. Mulin, you didn't lose out."
Instantly, Mu Lin's face turned as red as a crab, and he didn't dare to meet Wei Chi's gaze. "You're talking as if no one is the same."
Wei Chizheng raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
Mu Lin's eyes darted away. "I've had plenty of girls chasing after me, but I don't fancy any of them. In all these years, have you ever seen me have a girlfriend?"
It seems there really isn't one.
Wei Chizheng countered, "Never had a girlfriend and still has your first kiss, there's no conflict."
Mu Lin was furious and completely flustered. His face flushed as he tried to prove his innocence, "Second Master, am I the kind of person who would do such a thing? Besides, I'm afraid those women might have diseases. I'm so young, unmarried, and don't have any children yet. How could I be so foolish? Besides, giving my first time to those kinds of women feels like a huge loss."
Wei Chi nodded, agreeing with Mu Lin's idea.
Just then, Xie Nanzhi and her group came out, and Mu Lin and Wei Chizheng got out of the car together.
Wei Chizheng could only see Xie Nanzhi. He walked up to her familiarly, took the bag from her hand, and asked, "Do you need me to carry you to the car?"
Xie Nanzhi chuckled, "The fruit wine I'm drinking isn't very strong, it's not enough to make me unable to walk in a straight line."
Zhou Mubin clicked his tongue, "Tsk tsk tsk, you two stop showing off your love here and get out of my sight right now."
Wei Chizheng knew Zhou Mubin's purpose in inviting them out for drinks, and deliberately teased, "Isn't Lawyer Zhou and Miss Jin all lovey-dovey? You can't even get to be the one being affectionate with them."
Zhou Mubin frowned slightly. To be honest, he hadn't thought about Jin Moli since he learned that Cui Xiao had left the company.
"Mr. Wei, please stop teasing me."
Zhou Mubin was in a bad mood. He sighed and then said to Xie Nanzhi, "I called a designated driver. Should I deliver Xibei, or will you?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Chizheng introduced, "Mu Lin, would it be alright if you delivered Xi Bei to him?"
Mu Lin's eyes brightened slightly. "If Miss Xi agrees, then I naturally have no objection."
Xibei generously said, "I don't want to be a third wheel, Mulin, then I'll have to trouble you."
Mu Lin scratched his head and chuckled, "It's no trouble at all, it's on the way. Let's get in the car first."
Without any hesitation, Xibei said goodbye to Xie Nanzhi and the others, and got directly into Mulin's car.
Mu Lin hurriedly followed and gentlemanly opened the passenger door. Xi Bei was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so gentlemanly."
Xibei had drunk some wine, and her cheeks were flushed a peachy pink, with a hint of drunken red at the corners of her eyes. When she spoke, her voice trailed off softly, as if it had been soaked in honey.
Mu Lin slammed one hand on the car door and put the other in his pocket. "There's a lot more you haven't thought of yet. You'll discover it slowly in the future."
She thought for a moment, blinking her wet eyes but unable to recall the second half of the sentence. She could only gently tap her temple with her fingertip and mutter softly, "Slowly discover? How do I discover it?"
Xi Bei had drunk too much and hadn't noticed it before, but now that the wind was blowing, he felt a bit tipsy.
She got into the car, and Mu Lin got in too.
She looked out the window, and Mu Lin reminded her several times to fasten her seatbelt, but Xi Bei was completely oblivious.
Just then, Mu Lin leaned closer, his arm wrapping around her slender waist. Xi Bei froze, turned around abruptly, and their lips accidentally touched.
A jolt of electricity coursed through Mu Lin's body, and he quickly sat up straight. "I... I called you, didn't you hear me? Seatbelt."
Compared to Mu Lin's flushed face, Xi Bei was much calmer. She said "Oh" and pulled over the seat belt to fasten it.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but Xibei gave him the illusion of a dull, beautiful woman.
To be honest, it's rare to see this side of this academic genius, and Mu Lin found it inexplicably endearing.
He followed Xibei's gaze to Yue Xiang outside the window, "Look, the moon is drunk, just like you, and its face is red too."
Xibei blinked, her long hair reaching her waist. "It seems that it really is true."
After saying that, she stretched out her finger to reach for it, tilted her body, and her hair brushed against her cheek, like a kitten that had stolen a drink of milk. Her eyelashes fluttered, and a smile that hadn't faded from the corner of her mouth still lingered.
Mu Lin stared at her, mesmerized; he had never seen such a lovely girl before.
She possesses a mind smarter than others, yet also has such an innocent and carefree side.
Especially when she laughed, her shoulders swaying, a faint scent of wine wafted from her hair, like the sweetness of an entire spring hidden within.
So cute.
Mu Lin's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
Wei Chizheng was driving, and Xie Nanzhi asked, "Are you trying to bring Mu Lin and Xi Bei together?"
Wei Chizheng did not deny it, saying, "Mu Lin is interested in Xi Bei, let's try to make contact."
Xie Nanzhi joked, "It's rare to see President Wei, who seems so detached from worldly affairs, acting as a matchmaker. However, it might be a bit difficult for Mu Lin to pursue Xi Bei."
As Wei Chizheng drove, he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xie Nanzhi leaned back in her chair, relaxed. "Xibei doesn't understand emotions. In other words, she's only interested in academics and doesn't care about anything else. If you put her in a fantasy drama, she'd be completely devoid of romantic feelings."
Wei Chizheng, "It can be like this?"
Xie Nanzhi nodded. "She has never been in a relationship, which has worried her parents the most, but their urging has been ineffective. Later, her parents took her for a checkup, and that's what the doctor said."
