Chapter 54 Catching them in the act! Their separation wasn't exactly clean, was it?
"No, get up quickly, what if someone comes in and sees you? Don't you care about your image?" Nan Xia suddenly realized that this was the important point.
Was she afraid of being seen by Shen Yan?
Song Yanzhi glanced coldly at the woman beneath him, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes. He released her, straightened up, put one hand in his pocket, and maintained his aloof demeanor.
Nan Xia kicked him in annoyance. Just as she was patting her clothes off, her phone rang. She picked it up and glanced at the number; it was an unfamiliar number.
She answered the call immediately, "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me. Shall we grab a drink after get off work?" Shen Yan asked.
"Just send me the address." She glanced at the man opposite her, quickly finished speaking, and hung up, clearing her throat as she said this.
"A client asked me to talk about a lawsuit tonight, so I won't be able to take care of you. Eat your food by yourself, and be careful when you take a shower; don't touch tap water."
Song Yanzhi heard everything Shen Yan said, but didn't expose her. He sat down, crossed his long legs, leaned back in his chair, picked up the hot water, and took a sip with deep eyes—
-
After get off work in the afternoon.
Nan Xia went home first to change her clothes and put on light makeup before driving to a high-end bar.
As soon as she entered, she saw the man at the bar. He was wearing a white shirt with the collar slightly open, holding a glass of whiskey on the rocks, sipping it casually.
He exudes the charm of a mature man while sitting there.
Shen Yan saw her walking towards him in a red halter dress, her long straight hair casually draped behind her, her full and sexy red lips, her aloof steps, and her indifferent gaze that made men unconsciously want to conquer her.
Men are naturally drawn to challenging prey.
“Attorney Nan looks beautiful tonight. Did you dress up especially for me?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You wish! I'm dressing up for myself. After wearing business attire all day, a change of style will make me feel better."
Nanxia deliberately didn't give him face; she hadn't dressed up for him in the first place.
I sat down on the high stool next to him, ordered a strong cocktail from the bartender, took a small sip, and tasted the refreshing fruity flavor, followed by a burning sensation in my throat.
That's really exciting.
"..." Shen Yan smiled upon hearing her words, but was also slightly disappointed. She was quite interesting, taking the initiative to start a conversation with a woman for the first time.
Is your dog named Zhizhi?
"Mmm," she replied.
“The name is unique and quite nice… I think they like each other, so why don’t we let them be together? We shouldn’t deprive them of their right to find a mate,” he said.
"Zhizhi was just temporarily tricked by your lecherous dog, she definitely doesn't like your dog." Nanxia picked up her wine glass and took another sip.
"How do you know it doesn't like it?" Shen Yan asked.
"I'm its 'mom'! Marriage is a major life event that parents should decide!" How could she let her dog be with her enemy's dog?
"Do you look down on my dog? Or do you look down on me?"
"You're actually a really nice person..."
Nanxia's impression of him wasn't too bad. She had been quite unfriendly to him yesterday, but he had always been very gentle and didn't argue or quarrel with her.
He didn't say a single harsh word, and he kept trying his best to solve the problem; he wasn't irresponsible at all.
If he weren't Shen Shaohui's son, she would be willing to be his true friend.
"Is this a subtext that they look down on me?" Shen Yan was a little hurt. She thought that her conditions, figure, and appearance were not bad at all.
He was actually rejected by a woman.
"Cough... Of course not, Mr. Shen is such a good catch, my Zhizhi is not good enough for your dog." She quickly lied and explained.
"I think she's good enough for me, why are you thinking so much? It's settled then, bring Zhizhi out after get off work tomorrow." He raised his hand and ruffled her hair, speaking domineeringly.
Nanxia was stunned. Why was he rubbing my head?
Don't you think this gesture is a bit too intimate?
It was probably an accidental movement on his part; it wasn't intentional.
"Oh right, where's the money?" Nan Xia reached out her hand without any hesitation, having almost forgotten about it. Ten million for one trip was such a good deal.
We can buy a big house now. I wonder how my mom is doing with the houses she's looking for lately?
Helpless, Shen Yan slapped the prepared check into her hand. This woman was actually a little money-grubber. It was strange. He clearly hated greedy and snobbish women, so why didn't he hate her?
Moreover, she was even greedier than other women—
Nanxia glanced at the amount and happily put it into her bag.
Her eyes caught sight of two familiar faces entering through the entrance, and she immediately raised her hand to cover her face!
Why is that man here instead of staying home to recover from his injuries?
Song Yanzhi saw her as soon as he walked over. Seeing her guilty and evasive manner, his eyes darkened slightly, and he deliberately called out to her:
"Wasn't Attorney Nan supposed to be meeting a client? Why is he drinking here?"
Damn, the lights here are so dim, and there are flashing lights constantly dazzling my eyes. There are also so many people. How could he recognize me?
Nan Xia was forced to turn away, forcing a smile as she explained, "The client had something come up and cancelled, so we came here for a few drinks."
"But you, your injuries haven't even healed, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yubai, standing behind, touched the tip of his nose. What could they be here for? To catch them cheating! Their relationship wasn't exactly clean, was it?
No wonder this man didn't urge Nanxia to leave the law firm.
Song Yanzhi didn't reply to her. He sat down on the bar stool next to her and said in a deep voice to the bartender, "A glass of whiskey, please."
"Don't listen to him, give him a glass of juice!" Nan Xia called the waiter. "His injuries haven't healed yet, why would he want to drink alcohol?"
Hearing her words, Song Yanzhi felt a tiny bit better, but the next moment, the woman said, "Once you're healed, you can do whatever you want."
“Give me whiskey,” he said in a deep voice.
The waiter looked at the two of them and, as requested, gave the customer a glass of whiskey on the rocks.
Nan Xia frowned at him, picked up her cup, took a couple of sips, and ignored him, letting him do as he pleased.
Shen Yan looked at the two of them, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing slightly. What was their relationship?
"Song Shao and Attorney Nan are more than just colleagues?" he asked tactfully.
“We’re just colleagues! He injured his arm because of me, so I’m taking care of him,” Nan Xia answered quickly, afraid that Song Yanzhi would say something inappropriate.
It's best not to show off in front of him anymore. Keep a low profile, and it's best to contact Shen Yan secretly.
She could tell that Shen Yan had a good impression of her; otherwise, he wouldn't have paid her ten times to ask her out.
She's not stupid.
"..." Song Yanzhi turned to look at her, a cold glint in his eyes. Was she so afraid that he would affect her and that wild man?
Jiang Yubai watched the three of them, drinking and silently enjoying the gossip... How interesting!
Hearing her say that, Shen Yan relaxed and asked curiously, "How did he get injured because of you? How serious was it?"
