She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

After I ordered Zhou Hanzhi to leave, the expression on his face froze. He looked at me intently, and a sense of...grievance suddenly arose in his dark eyes.

As if I had said something to hurt his feelings.

But why is he aggrieved?

What did I say wrong?

He originally went to see Lin Xixi with some supplements. He shouldn't be sitting on my sofa at this moment, and he shouldn't ask me for water.

He should go upstairs and ask Lin Xixi for some water.

I turned my face away, not looking into his eyes, took two steps back, and said indifferently: "Mr. Zhou, please."

"You are just like this..." Zhou Hanzhi sighed softly, a look of loss on his face, and his tone was obscure.

"Assistant Zeng, please help Mr. Zhou and help him out." I interrupted Zhou Hanzhi and directly asked Zeng Zhi for help.

Zeng Zhi has been following Zhou Hanzhi's footsteps. Just now, Zhou Hanzhi broke into my door and Zeng Zhi followed him in. However, he hasn't spoken a word from now on and just stood aside waiting.

But I think his assistant performed poorly today. He is usually very smart, but today he just watched Zhou Hanzhi walk into the wrong room without reminding him.

Zeng Zhi's reaction was even slower at this moment. Not only did he not step forward to help Zhou Hanzhi up, he also looked at me and whispered, "Sister-in-law, please give Mr. Zhou a cup of hot water. Mr. Zhou is not here to see Miss Lin today. He is here to see..."

"Zeng Zhi!" Zeng Zhi had only said half of his words when Zhou Hanzhi, who had been lying on the sofa, suddenly moved. He shouted at Zeng Zhi.

Zeng Zhi looked flustered and immediately shut his mouth.

Zhou Hanzhi stood up. The light from the living room fell on his eyelashes, casting a dark shadow. His eyes were so dark, like an impenetrable fog.

"Sorry to bother you, Manager Meng." He looked at me silently for a while, nodded his apology, and then walked out.

Zeng Zhi followed him and left.

I stood there for a long time without moving, looking at the wide-open door. It was pitch black outside, like a gap in my heart, letting in a cold and empty wind.

But all I could think about was Zeng Zhi's words.

Zhou Hanzhi didn't come to see Lin Xixi.

Who was he here to see?

Recalling the time when I ran into Zhou Hanzhi in the parking lot, he parked his car next to my spot, and when he saw me he followed me upstairs...

As soon as a certain guess came to my mind, I cut it off.

Impossible! The person Zhou Hanzhi came to see today must be Lin Xixi.

Didn’t he just interrupt Zeng Zhi and deny what Zeng Zhi said?

Wake up, Meng Nanxu.

After a long time, I finally gathered my thoughts, walked over, and was about to close the door, but I found that there were some new things in the room.

These are the boxes of supplements that Zeng Zhi was carrying just now.

It contains bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin, both of which are expensive brands.

My first reaction was to pick up these boxes of supplements and chase after him. Zhou Hanzhi came to visit Lin Xixi specifically, so he carefully selected so many expensive supplements to make the beautiful lady happy, but he forgot the things here with me. What will he use to please Lin Xixi when he sees her later?

But Zhou Hanzhi and Zeng Zhi were no longer seen in the corridor. According to the time, they should be in Lin Xixi's room upstairs.

I sighed silently in my heart.

In the end, I still have to make a trip to deliver these things to Lin Xixi.

I carried my things upstairs and soon arrived at Lin Xixi's door.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xixi's door was closed and the lights inside were off, as if no one was in the room.

I was a little surprised and looked around, but I didn't see Zeng Zhi.

It seems that there is no way to hand the things over to Zeng Zhi.

I curled my fingers and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly stopped.

Lin Xixi had previously misunderstood that Zhou Hanzhi and I were entangled, which affected her relationship with Zhou Hanzhi and caused her to lose control of her emotions. If I knocked on the door and told her that Zhou Hanzhi forgot the supplements he brought for her at my place, she would misunderstand me and Zhou Hanzhi again after knowing that.

It doesn’t matter if she misunderstands Zhou Hanzhi, because Zhou Hanzhi always has a way to appease her. But if she misunderstands me again, I’m really worried that my neck will be broken next time.

What's more...

It was only ten o'clock now. As soon as Zhou Hanzhi came up, the lights in Lin Xixi's room went out. Maybe the two of them were doing some intimate things between lovers in the room. Zeng Zhi might have walked away for this reason.

If I knocked on the door rashly at this time, I would disturb their good thing.

At this moment, Zhou Hanzhi should be hugging Lin Xixi...

I suppressed the bitterness in my heart, withdrew my hand that was about to knock on the door, let the cold wind blow away the turmoil in my heart, then turned around and went downstairs.

That night, although my room was very quiet, I slept very uneasily.

In my dreams, I always see Zhou Hanzhi's face full of grievance and loss, the thick mist in his eyes, and the figures of Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi entangled together...

So when I was woken up by a series of phone calls, it was already bright outside the window.

It was Yan Dong who called. His tone was anxious and nervous: "Nan Xu, I was drunk at Feng's house last night, and my phone was out of battery and turned off. I just charged it, so how come I didn't hear from you that you were safe? Are you okay now? Where are you?"

Then I remembered that Zhou Hanzhi had disturbed me last night and I had actually forgotten the appointment with Yan Dong. When I came back, I forgot to report to him that I was safe, which made him worry.

I said sheepishly: "I'm at home, nothing happened, I just forgot to send you a message when I came back last night."

"I'm glad you're okay. I'm on my way to your place now. How about we have breakfast together later?" Yan Dong was obviously relieved on the other end of the phone.

I was about to say no need to bother, but he seemed to have guessed my reply and rushed to say, "I drank too much last night, and my stomach felt uncomfortable when I woke up this morning. I just wanted to drink a bowl of soothing porridge. Nanxu, just think of it as accompanying me, okay?"

He said he felt uncomfortable, so how could I refuse his request? So I agreed and made an appointment with him to meet at Ruxuan.

I hung up the phone, got up, packed my things, and drove to Ruxuan.

Yan Dong was already waiting for me at the door. As soon as he saw me, he came over, took off the scarf from his neck and put it around my neck.

He frowned slightly, and said in a self-blaming and apologetic tone, "It's my fault that I didn't remind you once. Your neck is injured and needs to be taken good care of. How could you leave it exposed to the cold wind?"

The scarf was wrapped around my neck, still carrying his body temperature and scent. I felt warmth in my heart and looked up at him and smiled.

In fact, he reminded me on the phone to wear a scarf, but I forgot because I was in such a hurry to go out. Yandong is really a very gentle person. He would rather blame himself than blame me.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant laughter came from behind me.

"Hanzhi, look, I said Sister Nanxu would choose Professor Yan. They look so loving and perfect together."
