Xiang Nanzhi's gaze didn't fall on the box at all; instead, she looked up at Song Ze, who was a completely different person from Shen Shixun.
"I've called you today to clarify some things with you."
"how?"
She hadn't contacted him for a long time, and Song Ze thought she was happy because she knew he and Jiang Yao had officially broken up, so she took the initiative to ask him out to try and rekindle their old relationship.
“Song Ze…”
Have you ordered yet?
"I've ordered what I want to eat, you order yours."
Why should we distinguish between "yours" and "mine"?
Xiang Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable after hearing his words. She had a sudden feeling that she and Shen Shixun were husband and wife, and although she met with Song Ze to clarify some things, she also felt guilty about having an affair.
"It's better if we keep things clear between us."
She's married after all; what does Song Ze mean by saying all this?
The man didn't argue with her too much, and ordered a few more dishes, saying, "Thank you, that's all."
"These are all your favorite foods, would you like to try some more..."
"No need, I have things to do after dinner."
Xiang Nanzhi looked at him, her expression calm.
"Do you know about Jiang Yao? She fainted at my doorstep and has had a fever for several days."
"Really? Are you feeling better?"
Do you still care about her?
Song Ze sensed a hint of jealousy in Xiang Nanzhi's rhetorical question, and the man chuckled, "Are you unhappy?"
"What I mean is, since you still care about her, how could you let her end up like this? You must know that the Jiang family treated her badly."
"I only care about her because we've known each other for a while. Being with her is because I haven't figured out who I really love yet."
"Then why did you sleep with her?"
“Nan Zhi, I…” Song Ze was so shocked that he couldn’t speak for a few seconds, “It’s because I didn’t recognize my own feelings.”
"Song Ze, no one should make excuses for what they have done."
Song Ze stood up and sat down next to her. "In your eyes, this is the kind of person I am. I did sleep with her, but at that time I hadn't yet realized my own feelings."
Xiang Nanzhi frowned, suddenly feeling that this man was really hypocritical.
What was wrong with her to like a man like that?
Looking at Song Ze with today's standards, he has nothing to offer except for his good looks.
"I don't really want to get involved in your affairs. I just want to tell you, don't come looking for me again. I don't like you anymore."
Song Ze stood there, stunned. Xiang Nanzhi stared at him intently, his eyes devoid of any superfluous emotion, simple and pure.
“I told you before that we’d contact each other again once we’d both calmed down, but I’ve already calmed down. There’s no need for us to contact each other anymore. You can live your life, and I’ll live mine.”
After about half a second, Song Ze suddenly laughed and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, it just means we shouldn't contact each other anymore. I don't want to contact you anymore, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I'm a married woman, and I'm pregnant now. If you had any moral compass, you wouldn't have asked me out so often, and you wouldn't have kept saying those things to me."
"But I truly love you. If I didn't love you, how could I have crossed ethical and moral boundaries..."
Xiang Nanzhi couldn't stand his moral blackmail any longer and suddenly stood up. "I hereby officially announce that we are over. Don't come looking for me again. If you bother me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, Xiang Nanzhi didn't want to waste any more words with him.
She can't settle down and live a peaceful life with Shen Shixun if she doesn't clean up her own mess.
Shen Shixun never brought up his relationship with Song Ze, but his silence didn't mean he was unaware of it. He was a man of principle and would never use this to put her down or upset her.
As Xiang Nanzhi stepped out of the private room, she felt a sense of relief. Not long after, she was suddenly pulled back by a strong force. Before she could react, Song Ze pinned her against the wall and kissed her.
He was almost furious, not caring whether Xiang Nanzhi would get angry, and while kissing her, he restrained her hands, "Have you been lonely all these years since I touched you?"
"Did Shim Sehun kiss you like that too?"
Song Ze wasn't lying about one thing: he now has a desire to conquer Xiang Nanzhi and an impulse to want her.
He used to find it annoying to even glance at her when she was clinging to him and trying to please him, but now he no longer sees those emotions in Xiang Nanzhi's eyes. The way she looks at him makes him feel resentful.
In another private room, Zhang Yandong brought Shen Shixun out to meet a client. The two of them each lit a cigar. "I found someone who can teach you anything you don't understand. I also plan to have you handle my new project with Xiang Ciyuan later on."
Thanks.
"No need to thank me, we're brothers."
After walking a few steps, they saw a man and a woman. Zhang Yandong was nearsighted, and at a glance, he saw the man pressing the woman down to kiss him. From this angle, it looked incredibly wild. He laughed and said, "Let's go that way."
Shen Shixun froze on the spot, his blood seemed to freeze, his mind went almost blank, and he rushed over based on his body's memory, pulled the man away, and immediately kicked him.
Xiang Nanzhi was terrified. Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. She desperately rubbed her reddened lips.
Zhang Yandong only saw clearly at this moment. He looked at Shen Shixun, then at the woman sitting on the ground against the wall, and said in surprise, "You, you... Xiang Nanzhi..."
Xiang Nanzhi wished she could find a hole to crawl into and subconsciously looked at Shen Shixun, only to see his profile.
Song Ze reacted and immediately swung his fist at him, but Shen Shixun dodged it. He grabbed the man's shirt collar and kicked him. Song Ze tried to retaliate, but he punched the man in the face, leaving an immediate bruise.
Xiang Nanzhi was quite frightened, but he couldn't stop her. He sat on the ground, still shaken and not yet recovered.
Song Ze brought two people who were about to go over to pull them away, but Zhang Yandong quickly stopped them and said with a smile, "Let's talk things out, don't resort to violence."
After saying this, the person in front of him punched him hard, and then threw the person behind him over his shoulder.
"President Song..."
"You gigolo, you dare hit me?"
Song Ze's face was swollen from the beating. Shen Shixun kicked him hard, and a cracking sound was heard, as if something had broken. Song Ze groaned, and Shen Shixun kicked him again, making the same sound once more.
Zhang Yandong dealt with the two bodyguards brought by Song Ze, and the fighting sounds outside the private room quickly attracted the attention of others.
Song Ze was beaten so badly that he vomited blood and couldn't get up at all; he was completely paralyzed on the ground.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Zhang Yandong pulled Shen Shixun aside. Shen Shixun was still kicking the man on the ground hard, without saying a word, but each kick was harder than the last.
Xiang Nanzhi was wearing a sleeveless white dress today, with a loose design, and her hair was a little messy. She couldn't believe what had happened.
Song Ze kissed her, and Shen Shixun saw it.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to cry.
"Sehun, let's go."
Zhang Yandong called out to him, but the man ignored Xiang Nanzhi, who was slowly getting up by supporting himself on the ground, and turned to leave.
"It's not what you see..."
She tried to call out to him, but the man didn't stop. "Shen Shixun!"
