Chapter 29 Shock, she wronged him?
Nan Xia was stunned by her words!
My heart skipped a beat.
That night, he went to meet this vixen, not to discuss how to deal with me, but to warn her not to touch me.
Did I wrong him?
Was he tricked into drinking by this vixen that night?
I actually left without paying any attention to him—
"You really have no relationship at all?" Madam Feng asked again, looking at her with a deep gaze.
Nan Xia ignored her words. At this moment, she felt guilty towards the man. She went back to her ward to change her clothes, sent a message to her mother, and then left.
-
Dingxin Law Firm.
Nan Xia went to Ruifeng first and then found out that he was at the law firm handling other cases that day.
When she entered the law firm, she made a point of observing her colleagues' reactions. Seeing that they didn't point fingers at her or gossip in hushed tones, she felt relieved.
It seems he didn't spread the word about what happened that night.
"Clang—" She didn't knock, but pushed open the door to Song Yanzhi's office.
The tall, imposing man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, making a phone call, glanced back, his brows furrowing slightly.
Nan Xia walked up to him, ignoring whether he was on a serious call or not, and suddenly hooked one finger around his belt, tugging at it with a combination of loosening and tightening—
Song Yanzhi looked down at her actions, stunned... He suddenly waved her hand away coldly and continued to communicate with the client on the phone in a serious and formal tone.
Nan Xia was secretly annoyed and grabbed his tie with one hand, suddenly pulling him in front of her!
"Ugh..." He groaned uncontrollably, his eyes coldly fixed on the woman. What exactly did she want to do?
He tried to pull her hand away from his tie, but she gripped it even tighter. His brows furrowed, and he could only say to the person on the phone:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I have some urgent business to attend to. Let's talk later."
He hung up the phone after saying that, then tugged at his tie, which she still held tightly, and said coldly:
“Attorney Nan, this is a law firm. If you want to flirt with men, go to a nightclub.”
Nan Xia grabbed her tie and shook it, then asked with a smile, "Attorney Song, you're not angry that I went to a hotel with another man, are you?"
His sudden coldness made it hard for her not to be suspicious.
"You're overthinking it. Who you book a room with is none of my business," he said in a deep voice, one hand in his pocket.
Am I overthinking things? Okay, she nodded, and then said,
"I came here out of kindness to thank you. I already know that you warned Mrs. Feng and even beat her up for my sake. Thank you for taking me to the hospital."
“I went to warn her only because you are now a partner in my law firm.” Song Yanzhi’s tone was very cold, and he looked away from her face.
Upon hearing his words, Nanxia felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment. She loosened his tie, smiled, and said:
"Anyway, I'm grateful that you took me to the hospital, and thank you for your hard work these past few days. I'll try my best to make up for it by working overtime. Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"
"No need." He refused directly, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyes, and his profile looked a bit colder and harder than usual.
Nanxia unconsciously curled her fingertips, feeling a strange tightness in her chest, and was a little unaccustomed to his cold attitude.
That sense of alienation was like a needle chilled to ice, gently and subtly piercing her heart.
She suddenly smiled again, "Okay, then you go ahead and get back to work."
After saying that, she turned and left his office.
Don't be love-struck, it'll ruin your career! Besides, people don't even like your type! She silently told herself.
She went straight to Ruifeng, intending to get off work overtime.
night.
Around 11 o'clock, Nan's mother dialed the girl's number, but it was switched off! She hadn't even fully recovered from her cold, what was she busy with again?
It's so late, why aren't you home yet?
Having no other option, she dialed her daughter's colleague's number.
Song Yanzhi had already been lying in bed and was almost asleep when his phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. He opened his eyes impatiently.
It's so late, who could it be?
The ringtone was still ringing loudly. He sat up, turned on the desk lamp, picked up the phone and glanced at it. He immediately recognized it as Nanxia's mother's phone number.
What could she want by calling me so late at night?
"Hello, Auntie, what's up?" he asked, his voice slightly sleepy and hoarse.
When Nan's mother heard how polite he was and how pleasant his voice was, how could anyone dislike him? Was there something wrong with that girl's eyesight?
"I just wanted to ask, are you and Nanxia still working overtime? It's almost midnight already. There's no way to finish this work. She's not fully recovered from her cold yet, what if it gets worse?" she said with some resentment.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Song Yanzhi frowned and simply replied, "I'll give her a call."
“Her phone is off,” said Nan’s mother.
"I'll go take a look, you don't need to rush." He hung up the phone, got out of bed, and got dressed.
In Ruifeng's conference room.
Right now, Nan Xia is sitting alone in the conference room, focused on her review work. She has slept for several days in a row and is not sleepy at all.
There are cameras everywhere in the company, so even if she, an outsider, stays in the company, they are not worried about anything.
She was typing away on her laptop when the door behind her suddenly creaked open. Startled, she turned around, but relaxed when she saw it was Song Yan.
"What are you doing here so late, Attorney Song?" she asked casually.
“Your mother called me. Stop working and go home early.” Song Yanzhi walked up to her and snatched the contract from in front of her.
Nan Xia glanced at her watch; it was only midnight. Since she wouldn't be able to sleep anyway, she decided to work for another hour. She then retrieved the contract he had taken.
"I've slept for several days, I'm not sleepy now, you can go back."
She's not even better from a cold, what's she doing acting up?
Song Yanzhi removed the contract from in front of her, saved the file on his computer, and pulled her up from her chair!
She was secretly annoyed and shook off his hand, then looked at the man and smiled.
"Didn't Attorney Song say he wanted to keep his distance from me? Why is he meddling in my affairs again? If you're going to keep your distance, then at least do it properly!"
If it weren't for seeking revenge for her father, she wouldn't have joined his law firm, nor would she have gotten so close to him.
Song Yanzhi stared at her intently, unsure of what to say for a long while.
"Go and check on your little assistant."
She picked up her things and walked out, ignoring the man behind her. However, she pressed the access button at the front door for a long time, but the door wouldn't open!
I pounded on the door a few more times, but it still didn't respond.
broken?
Song Yanzhi also came out and saw that she had been pressing the doorbell for a long time without opening it. He went over and pressed it a few more times, but there was still no response. He said calmly:
"Let's go back to the meeting room. It's too late now. The maintenance crew won't be here until tomorrow."
