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

At the moment, I didn't want to drink or taste the food. I just wanted to leave quickly, but Lin Xixi seemed to see through my thoughts. She poured a glass of wine and handed it to me first, saying very attentively: "Sister Nanxu, this wine is fruit wine. It's not strong and won't make you drunk."

The wine glass was already in front of me and I couldn't leave now, so I could only nod and take the glass.

Lin Xixi gave one of the remaining two glasses of wine to Zhou Hanzhi and smiled happily: "It just so happens that the bottle of wine can hold three glasses. One glass for each of us, and neither of us will drink too much."

There was tenderness but also some helplessness in Zhou Hanzhi's eyes when he looked at her. I just felt that smile was dazzling, so I lowered my head and didn't look at it.

As my eyes fell on the beautiful crystal glass in front of me, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Lin Xixi was originally very wary of me, always suspecting that there was some kind of relationship between Zhou Hanzhi and me. She probably didn't want me and Zhou Hanzhi to have too many opportunities to interact. Her suggestion that I come over for dinner in the afternoon was just a superficial effort, but why did she insist on inviting me up to sit with her in the evening?

It can't be that she really did it just for me to check her learning results, right? Lin Xixi wouldn't do that.

They wouldn't just want me to be a part of their erotic play. That kind of trick is too boring and childish.

I looked at the slightly red wine in the glass and my heart moved.

Lin Xixi wouldn’t put anything bad in my wine glass, right?

Just at this moment, there was a gurgling sound coming from the kitchen. Lin Xixi cried out and ran to the kitchen quickly: "I almost forgot, I still have a soup that's not ready yet."

As soon as she left, I immediately looked up and took a closer look at the wine glass on her seat. I don't know if it was because I had doubts in my heart, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the color of Lin Xixi's wine seemed to be different from mine.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Zhou Hanzhi's low voice asked in his ears.

Only then did I realize that my behavior was too obvious, and I immediately looked away: "It's okay."

Zhou Hanzhi looked at me in confusion and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a series of cell phone vibrations. He picked up the phone, took a look, then stood up and walked away.

At this time, Lin Xixi was still serving soup in the kitchen, while Zhou Hanzhi went directly to the balcony to answer the phone. I was the only one left at the table. I picked up my wine glass and stretched it towards Lin Xixi's position, but paused, turned and moved towards Zhou Hanzhi's position.

I successfully exchanged my wine glass with Zhou Hanzhi's.

I'm not sure if Lin Xixi put anything bad in my wine glass, but I've suffered a loss at her hands once before, so I have to be more careful.

Lin Xixi likes Zhou Hanzhi very much, and she also longs to marry him. Whether from the emotional or interest perspective, she would never give Zhou Hanzhi anything bad, so I think exchanging wine glasses with Zhou Hanzhi is the safest move.

However, just as I changed the wine glass, Zhou Hanzhi came over from the balcony.

After he sat down, he looked down and then looked up at me. My eyes were also on him at this time. Our eyes met and I quickly looked away, trying to make my expression look relaxed and natural.

Fortunately, the three wine glasses were exactly the same, and the wine we drank was from the same bottle, so Zhou Hanzhi didn't seem to notice anything.

Coincidentally, Lin Xixi also brought the last pot of soup to the table, and dinner officially began.

Lin Xixi raised her glass and toasted me first: "Sister Nanxu, since I joined our company, you have been the one who helped me grow. You have taught me a lot in work and life. I have benefited a lot. I have always respected you in my heart. I toast you a glass."

"I don't deserve it. I am the one who should respect you. If it weren't for you, Mr. Zhou wouldn't have invested in our project, and I wouldn't be where I am today." I was also very polite.

I watched Lin Xixi drink the wine first, and then I took a sip.

Lin Xixi raised her glass to toast Zhou Hanzhi again: "Hanzhi, I want to thank you. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. Thank you for making me feel deeply loved, and thank you for making me your exception."

Preferences and exceptions.

Isn't it true? Zhou Hanzhi was unprecedentedly gentle, doting, and partial to Lin Xixi. He gave her all his goodness. That was true love.

Love can nourish people.

Although Lin Xixi also did not come from a high-class family and did not even have any extraordinary abilities, Zhou Hanzhi's love allowed her to wear famous brands, allowed me to add luster to her graduation project, and even her temperament had a bit more of the dignity of a rich lady. He really raised her into a little princess with love.

Unlike me in the past, I licked Zhou Hanzhi like a dog, and even served Shen Hualan like a servant. My love burned myself, and finally killed the person who loved me the most in the world...

I am full of holes and broken into pieces, but in Zhou Hanzhi's eyes, I am still not worthy of respect and love... in the past.

My heart ached again, and I needed to use my fingertips to pinch the pain in my palms to suppress the surging emotions at the moment.

Faced with Lin Xixi's affectionate confession, Zhou Hanzhi didn't say much, just nodded and took a sip of wine.

But when he was drinking, he glanced at me. I avoided his gaze guiltily and took a bite of the food and ate it.

I think, even if Lin Xixi really put something bad in my wine glass, it wouldn't be a deadly poison, otherwise she would definitely be involved in a lawsuit. It would probably just be something that would make people uncomfortable for a while.

So even if Zhou Hanzhi drank that glass of wine, it wouldn't kill him.

But I still carefully observed Zhou Hanzhi's behavior after drinking. He looked the same as before, and there was nothing abnormal.

I felt relieved. It seemed that I was overthinking. Lin Xixi didn't put anything in the wine at all.

I raised the glass with confidence, drank it all, and stood up to say goodbye: "Manager Lin's food is great. I said that Manager Lin is very talented. Well, I'm a little sleepy, so I won't disturb Manager Lin and CEO Zhou's date. I'll go back first."

I don’t know if it was because I drank too much wine, but I felt a little dizzy the moment I stood up.

Lin Xixi also noticed this and quickly reached out to help me: "Sister Nanxu, are you okay?"

Zhou Hanzhi also frowned and looked at me, with worry in his eyes.

I calmed myself down, waved my hand to indicate that I was fine, maintained my balance, and said goodbye and left Lin Xixi's house.

However, when I reached my floor, I felt an indescribable irritability and depression in my chest, and my body was getting hotter and hotter.

What's going on? Is this a physical discomfort caused by the emotional upheaval?

I opened the door and rushed straight to the bathroom.
