Chapter 63 Doesn't your ex-boyfriend have any sense of boundaries?
“You don’t really need to explain this to me. We’re just friends,” Nanxia said with a smile.
Shen Yan was silent for a moment, then looked up at her and asked seriously, "What if I fall in love with you at first sight and want to pursue you?"
"Mr. Shen, we've only known each other for a few days, and I don't know you very well. If you pursue me, I'll feel a lot of pressure and I'll be disgusted." She deliberately delayed, not wanting to talk about feelings with him.
Shen Yan nodded understandingly, knowing that she wasn't so easy to win over. "Then let's remain friends for now?"
"Of course, I have a very good impression of you," Nan Xia said.
"Really?" Shen Yan's mood instantly brightened upon hearing her words. So, his chances of winning her over were still quite high, right?
"How about coming over to my place for dinner tonight? Try my cooking."
"Tonight... I have to work overtime, maybe next time."
Nan Xia hasn't yet turned down her mother's offer, and she doesn't dare to agree to it. Her mother is very persistent, and she doesn't know if she can turn down the offer to go to Song Yan's house.
What were the man's intentions in inviting the mother and daughter to his home?
In the law firm's lobby, Song Yanzhi strode in with one hand in his pocket. Two secretaries immediately greeted him respectfully, "Attorney Song, you've arrived?"
"Hmm, Nanxia was here this morning?" He stopped and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Shen from Ruifeng is in her office right now," the secretary replied.
Song Yanzhi frowned slightly. Was that man here to explain things to her? He already had a fiancée, what was there to explain?
Could she have fallen for a man who already has a fiancée?
He returned to his office, deliberately leaving the door open. A few minutes later, he saw the woman and Shen Yan pass by the door together—where were they going?
Going on a date during work hours?
Song Yanzhi's handsome face turned slightly cold.
Nan Xia had arranged to meet a major client from the law firm downstairs, but she was only going downstairs with Shen Yan.
Her former colleague gave her information on five major clients in total. She only managed to sign one last time, and she hopes this one will be successful as well.
She had just gotten into her car when her phone rang. She took it out, glanced at it, and answered, "Attorney Song, is there something you need?"
"Going on a date during work hours?" Song Yanzhi asked in a businesslike tone.
"What, are you jealous?" Nan Xia asked, raising an eyebrow and smiling. She had glanced at him when she passed by his office earlier. What had he been doing this morning?
Where did you rescue your mother?
"If you have so much free time, then find a way to take on more cases and earn money on your own. Don't always think about marrying into a wealthy family."
Song Yanzhi spoke with displeasure and aloofness, then suddenly remembered that he also came from a wealthy family, and immediately added:
"If you want to marry into a wealthy family, you should first see what kind of people the other party's parents are. Do you think the Shen family's parents would approve of you?"
"What business is it of yours, Attorney Song, who I marry? Stop worrying about it." Nan Xia pouted at her phone, wanting to go over and slap him a few times. He's such a busybody.
Doesn't she have any sense of boundaries as an ex-boyfriend?
"I was just trying to be helpful," Song Yanzhi said awkwardly.
"You're not jealous because Shen Yan is richer and has a better family background than you, are you?" Nan Xia asked him with a smile, guessing.
She never thought about marrying into a wealthy family. If she had, she would have agreed to marry all those bosses and rich second-generation heirs who pursued her before.
They wouldn't choose Song Yanzhi, who has an ordinary background.
She always felt that Song Yanzhi, like herself, was just very famous, but did not belong to the wealthy class.
Song Yanzhi was so angry at her words that he laughed... Shen Yan is richer than him? Has a better family background than him? Which eye of hers saw that?
Go to the hospital right away and get a checkup!
Don't delay!!
"I'm not talking to you anymore. Just do your own thing and stop being envious of others. And stop meddling in my private affairs."
Nan Xia hung up the phone after speaking, started the car, and drove off.
There's no time to ask now why he invited my mom to his house for dinner.
Hearing her words, Song Yanzhi's chest heaved a few times; he was so angry he almost vomited blood! He pushed up his glasses and smiled.
That stupid woman—
She really should get her eyes checked!

In the afternoon, after get off work, Nanxia was still discussing the lawsuit with her last client. She had met with all four of Ruifa Liancheng's clients today.
Three contracts were successfully signed.
The last one had a good relationship with Qin Hao and didn't want her to poach his partner. No problem, she turned around and signed a contract with his younger brother, who was fighting with him for the family fortune.
He then fulfilled his promise and transferred 400,000 yuan to his former colleague. One should always be honest and trustworthy.
Nan's mother called her several times to urge her to hurry up, and the client, seeing that she was constantly on the phone, finally said that they would talk again tomorrow night.
Nan Xia drove up to Song Yanzhi's apartment building, saw her mother's car, walked over, knocked on the window, and said directly:
"Don't go to Song Yan's house. It's not a good idea to go to someone's house for the first meal. Just invite him to dinner outside."
Nan's mother got out of the car, carrying a fruit basket and an Armani bag, which contained the gifts she had carefully selected that afternoon.
"That won't do. Attorney Song has already texted me saying dinner is ready and asking when we'll arrive. Wouldn't it be too offensive to say we're not going now?"
“He’s my colleague, so it’s okay to offend him. I’ll call him and ask him to come out for dinner.”
Nanxia took out her phone as she spoke, but before she could make a call, her mother suddenly snatched it away! She grabbed her hand and dragged her into the living room.
"Since you're already here, hurry up and leave, what are you dawdling about?"
Nan Xia frowned, somewhat helpless. That man would probably pretend he wasn't very familiar with her, right?
And Zhizhi, he'll probably be locked up first, right?
Once upstairs and out of the elevator, Nan's mother was amazed by the spacious, bright, understated yet grand lobby. Look at that rockery, how beautiful it is, shrouded in mist.
There's also a fish pond where the goldfish are plump, big, and very beautiful!
“This place is much bigger than our new house,” Mrs. Nan exclaimed.
“Hey, this front hall design is nice. Do you think we should also build a rockery and a fish pond? To bring good luck!” she asked, nudging her daughter.
"Do you know how much this whole set will cost? Don't bother with all that, just buy a few chairs and put them outside," Nanxia said to her mother.
"Don't bother buying chairs, just sit on the floor," Nan's mother said, glancing at her.
Nanxia couldn't help but laugh when she thought of that scene.
The living room door was open, and Zhizhi suddenly heard her voice. Wagging her big tail, she excitedly rushed out and pounced on Nanxia!
It licked and hummed softly.
I was incredibly excited.
Nanxia stood stiffly, not daring to touch or coax it, and stiffly turned her head to glance at her mother—
Seeing her staring at him and the dog with a look of astonishment, he racked his brains for an excuse.
Achoo!
Nan's mother sneezed upon smelling the dog, stepped back a few paces, and questioned her in surprise.
"Is this Attorney Song's dog? Why is it so affectionate with you?"
