Chapter 201 Song Yanzhi suspects she is pregnant...
"I think Miss Nan still has feelings for you. She doesn't really dislike you. Look, she even accepts your bodyguard and your help," the bodyguard advised him.
Song Yanzhi looked at her sitting in the restaurant, without saying a word...
As if sensing something, Nan Xia unconsciously looked out the shop window and sure enough, she saw Song Yanzhi's car by the roadside. Although the car windows were dark, she couldn't see if there was anyone inside.
But her intuition told her that the man was sitting inside, watching her and Shen Yan—
She frowned slightly without realizing it. It was already noon, wasn't he going to eat?
Shen Yan followed her gaze outside and saw Song Yanzhi's car. He felt a pang of jealousy and discomfort; his previously gentle tone suddenly turned somber.
Are you still entangled with him? Are you trying to use this opportunity to break up with me and go see him?
"If I really thought that way, do you think you'd still be sitting here? If I really thought that way, I'd already be sitting in his car." Nan Xia glanced at him coldly, her tone displeased.
Hearing her words, Shen Yan believed her and realized she shouldn't have been jealous. Her tone softened slightly: "I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have doubted you..."
She glanced at him, picked up her glass and took a sip of water. At that moment, the waiter brought out the dishes they had ordered one after another.
He glanced out the shop window, frowned. What was that man standing there looking at? Was he still thinking of taking her back?
He picked up his chopsticks, deliberately placed some food in her bowl, and then apologized, "I really know I was wrong, don't be angry..."
"I'll fetch it myself. You should try to win over my mom. Right now, she's the one who doesn't approve of us." Nan Xia thought to herself that she would only hand it over if she could put him down first and then get him to produce the account book.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll try my best to make your mother forgive me. So you're not angry with me anymore?" Shen Yan asked.
"Who said I'm not angry? Your mother is bullying me too much. It's one thing for her to look down on me and treat me like a servant, but I can't tolerate this kind of insult to my mother," Nan Xia said in a deep voice.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I will definitely talk to her. From now on, we won't live with her anymore. We can also go abroad..." Shen Yan said, caring about her feelings.
My mom's personality is hard to change, but I can stay away from her. Maybe when they have children, she'll treat Nanxia better for the sake of her grandchildren?
Looking at this man who had been genuinely good to her, Nanxia felt incredibly guilty. She felt terrible for deceiving his feelings like this.
But she couldn't stop—
"If I hurt your family, will you hate me?" she asked, looking at him.
“What can you do to them? It’s usually my parents who hurt others; they’ve never suffered any loss themselves,” Shen Yan said with a smile.
“I was saying if…” she asked again.
"I believe you wouldn't hurt them for no reason, right? They must have hurt you first, so it's only right that you retaliate. Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side, and I'll protect you," Shen Yan said to her.
She was probably thinking about whether she could retaliate if her family treated her badly in the future, right? Of course she could.
Hearing his answer, Nanxia felt her guilt lessen considerably. "Are you telling the truth?"
“Of course it’s true.” He nodded.
"I hope that one day you will truly understand me..." She looked at him with deep eyes.
"Of course it will." Shen Yan laughed. The harm she was referring to was probably just saying a few harsh words to her parents, right? And even biting her own teeth.
He sometimes argues with his parents.
As Song Yanzhi watched them gaze at each other from inside the car, his heart ached even more, and his fingertips trembled slightly involuntarily.
My heart felt like it was being constantly pricked by needles, the pain was suffocating.
He tried to forget her, but found that he couldn't do it at all. Her image was in his mind all the time, and he suffered from severe insomnia at night.
When I close my eyes, all I can think about is her.
Song Yanzhi's nose felt a little sore; she really shouldn't know what to do—
"Ring ring..." His phone suddenly rang, and it rang for a long time before he came to his senses. He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was Gu Xiaoxing.
After a moment of silence, he pressed the answer button: "Hello—"
"Yanzhi, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat together?"
Gu Xiaoxing originally wanted to be reserved and wait for him to take the initiative to ask her out, but after two days, he didn't call her at all or pay any attention to her, so she couldn't wait any longer.
"You eat by yourself." Song Yanzhi wasn't in the mood for dinner and was about to hang up when she suddenly said, "Give me a chance, okay? Please don't be so cold to me... I really like you..."
"Then I'll give you an address, come over." Song Yanzhi hung up the phone and sent her the restaurant's address.
He wanted to go in and see what Nanxia and that man were talking about. Had they made up?
He didn't want them to reconcile at all! He couldn't bring himself to wish them well—
Gu Xiaoxing lived nearby and arrived here in about ten minutes. Seeing his car, she jogged over and stood by the car door, saying:
"Yanzhi, I'm sorry I'm late. Are you hungry?"
As Song Yan stepped out of the car, he uttered two words in a low voice: "Let's go."
The two entered the restaurant together, and he deliberately walked to Nanxia's table and said, "Can we share a table? It's almost time for me to go to work, and there's no time to order now."
"Sit down." Nan Xia glanced at the two of them and uttered those two words as if possessed. Perhaps she felt a little awkward seeing him sitting outside for so long.
Was he sitting outside waiting for this Miss Gu, or was he looking at me?
"Maybe I'm overthinking it?" she belatedly thought to herself.
Because it was a two-seater sofa, Song Yanzhi could only sit next to Shen Yan, while Gu Xiaoxing sat on Nan Xia's side. Suddenly, she noticed that he kept glancing at the female lawyer, which made her even more hostile towards her.
Because Song Yanzhi was there, they had no choice but to endure it.
"Hello, Attorney Nan, my name is Gu Xiaoxing, you can just call me Xiaoxing. You are even more beautiful than on TV. I have always admired you. You have achieved so much at such a young age, you are amazing!"
"We didn't have a chance to have a drink together last time we met at the bar, so how about I offer you a toast now?"
Gu Xiaoxing spoke ingratiatingly, then immediately beckoned to the waiter to bring a few more wine glasses. She deliberately praised Song Yanzhi in front of him to win his favor.
"I have to go to work this afternoon and can't drink, I'm sorry." Nan Xia politely declined. Did this woman genuinely admire her, or was she putting on an act for Song Yanzhi?
His inexplicable enthusiasm made her very uncomfortable.
"You won't get drunk from just one drink," Gu Xiaoxing said enthusiastically. Seeing the waiter bring over glasses, she poured three glasses and pushed one towards Song Yanzhi across from her.
She handed her another cup, saying in a slightly coquettish tone, "Attorney Nan, I'm a huge fan of yours, I really admire you, you won't refuse me, will you?"
