Chapter 364 Even a mosquito bite makes you a rival in love.
Jian Yao added, "I thought, since I have money now, more than enough to last several lifetimes, I might as well give birth to a child and raise it. If you can raise a cat or a dog, why can't you raise a child?"
I almost forgot that Jian Yao has always been a pragmatic person.
This includes her initial determination to keep Pei Jingchuan by her side, even at any cost. Later, she proactively sought cooperation with Wei Chi.
She didn't love Pei Jingchuan, but she loved herself very much.
Therefore, Jian Yao lives a more enlightened life than anyone else, embracing simplicity and doing what needs to be done.
With Wei Chizheng by her side, Xie Nanzhi slept soundly during the several-hour flight. When she opened her eyes again, they were almost at the airport.
Wei Chizheng held her hand as they walked through the airport terminal.
Before they even stepped outside, they heard Nianzheng and Nianchi's voices, especially their daughter's sweet little voice, "Mommy, Daddy, I miss you so much, I need a big hug."
Nianzheng stretched out her little arms, and Wei Chizheng bent down and picked her up. "Why do you feel like you've gotten heavier again?"
At the same time, Xie Nanzhi also took Nianchi's little hand.
Wang Shufen brought them here. "Zhengbao has had a good appetite lately, so she's been eating a lot. Look, she's almost a little chubby."
When Nianzheng was picked up by her father, her little legs kicked happily in mid-air. Her chubby little hands wrapped around Wei Chizheng's neck, and she buried her face in his neck and rubbed against him. Her babyish voice was soft and sticky, "I'm not fat. It's just that the dress Uncle Huang gave me makes me look fat!"
As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her little chest, revealing the fluffy hem of her dress, which made Wei Chi chuckle softly. He gently flicked her little nose with his fingertip, "Our Zhengbao is right, it's the clothes that make you look fat, not you. But, you said Uncle Huang bought this dress?"
Nianzheng nodded, "That's right, Uncle Huang bought it for me. My sister Yueyue and I have the same outfit. Uncle Huang said it's a best friend outfit."
Wei Chizheng thought to himself, "Staying together as best friends, all they do is this useless stuff every day."
Isn't he just trying to curry favor with Nianzheng and get her to speak for him?
Last time, his daughter even suggested that he and Huang Yaozu share a wife. What a scheming man.
Wei Chizheng poked Nianzheng's little face, "Zhengbao, we'll throw this dress away when we get back. We're not going to wear a dress that makes us look so fat. When Daddy has time, he'll take you to pick out a new dress. Then you can give it to Yueyue, and the two of you can wear matching outfits. It'll definitely look better than this one."
Nianzheng was overjoyed. "Wow, Daddy's idea is great! Let's make it a happy decision then!"
Nianchi, standing to the side, was much more composed than his younger sister. When he took Xie Nanzhi's hand, he first looked up at her face carefully, then quietly tightened his grip on her hand and whispered, "Mommy, is Daddy going to be jealous for the rest of his life? Even buying a dress is such a big deal?"
Xie Nanzhi smiled slightly and stroked his soft hair. "Who knows? Why is he so insecure about himself?"
Nianchi immediately nodded, adding like a little adult, "Who told Daddy to be so love-struck? Let alone the dashing Uncle Huang, he'd think even a male mosquito biting you was a rival in love."
Wang Shufen stood beside them, listening to their conversation, her smile almost overflowing. She reached out to straighten Xie Nanzhi's collar, which had been ruffled by the wind. "It's all because Xiao Wei cares about you, Nanzhi. It's not easy for a woman to meet a man who truly loves her. You're lucky."
Xie Nanzhi smiled and agreed, her gaze sweeping over Wei Chizheng beside her.
He was holding his daughter with a gentle smile, Nianchi was holding his hand tightly, and his mother was chatting away about everyday things. The airport hall was bustling with people, but at this moment, Xie Nanzhi's heart was filled with peace and warmth.
On the other side, at the law firm.
Sun Lu has been working at the law firm for a few days. To be honest, she has a strong learning ability; she can learn many things about the job after being taught only once.
Compared to Cui Xiao, Sun Lu clearly had too many thoughts on her mind. Even Zhou Mubin could see her unease, and her other colleagues could understand it even better.
However, Zhou Mubin didn't say anything, and everyone turned a blind eye. Besides, although Sun Lu didn't have much social experience, she was very good at handling interpersonal relationships.
She always smiles at everyone, calling everyone "sister" and even treating everyone to milk tea. So, people don't particularly like her, but they don't dislike her either.
On this day, the legal services provided by the law firm and a company were due to expire in one month. In principle, they should have renewed the contracts three months in advance, but there was no sign of renewal.
Sun Lu personally called them, and the other party's attitude was very clear: they did not intend to renew their contract and had already found a new candidate.
Sun Lu is competitive and always wants to achieve something. Besides, she can't lose a partnership after only a few days on the job.
At noon, she bought a small cake for a senior lawyer and subtly inquired about the matter, saying, "Sister Liu, I'd like to ask you about something."
"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to answer it," said Attorney Liu. "Well, go ahead and ask."
During lunch break, most people in the office went out to eat, and a few went out to run errands. Only Attorney Liu usually brought her own lunch, so she took this opportunity to subtly probe her.
"How did the editor-in-chief of the Gangcheng People's Publishing House come to agree to sign this contract in the first place?"
Attorney Liu casually remarked, "Oh, you mean this contract? I remember it. Their editor-in-chief is quite a difficult person; it took Assistant Cui half a month to sign it. So, it seems to be expiring soon."
Sun Lu nodded. "That's right, it's about to expire. I called Editor-in-Chief Ma, and he said he wouldn't renew it. I didn't know this before, and now I'm so worried."
Attorney Liu comforted her, "Don't worry. Editor-in-Chief Ma is a bit difficult, but if Assistant Cui could secure such a high-priced contract, you certainly can too. At worst, you can ask your sister to help. With her around, there's no contract you can't get."
This last sentence is the one that Sun Lu has heard repeated the most recently.
That's why Sun Lu didn't want to admit defeat so easily.
What Cui Xiao can do, she can definitely do too.
Sun Lu asked, "My sister and Editor-in-Chief Ma have a very good relationship?"
Attorney Liu said, "Assistant Cui and Editor-in-Chief Ma didn't know each other before, but she has the ability to make people who don't know her become good friends with her. You have to admire Assistant Cui for that; she is really capable. Our law firm has reached its current scale, and she definitely deserves some credit for that."
But they've exaggerated the status of an assistant to an absurd degree.
Sun Lu was unconvinced, but she smiled and said, "My sister is very outstanding, and I want to emulate her. Thank you, Sister Liu, your lipstick color looks really good today. I won't disturb your meal any longer; I'm going to get back to work now."
"come on."
Back in her office, Sun Lu called Cui Xiao.
