Chapter 26

Fei Nanzhou didn't come back until 7 o'clock in the evening, and Xu Zhi was already so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

She blamed it all on him, saying he had no conscience.

"Can't you eat it yourself first? Do you have to wait for me?" His expression was hard to explain, but after looking at her twice, he looked like he was too lazy to argue with her. He turned his back to her and loosened his cuffs.

Xu Zhi was about to yell at him aggressively, but saw that he had already unbuttoned his shirt and hung it aside naturally.

His back is broad and flat, with a standard inverted triangle, the muscles are tight, and the spine line is smooth and powerful, extending to the shoulder blades, just like a standard model in the human body exhibition area.

Her eyes gradually opened wide, she whispered "Rogue" to him and covered her eyes.

After a while, she quietly opened a crack and took a peek.

It turned out that he had changed into a suit and was standing in front of her, looking at her with his hands folded. As soon as she raised her eyes, he caught her.

The gap between her fingers quickly closed again, and she said in an obvious way: "I didn't peek."

Fei Nanzhou smiled and said nothing: "Let's go, ancestor."

He actually called her "ancestor"... Xu Zhi's face Hong Hong felt that she was not worthy of this title: "Don't call me that."

"Aren't you my ancestor?" He actually had the leisure to tease her.

"No!" From now on, if he marries a wife and she marries another person, who kind of ancestor is she?

Wasn't he also "sister" when he introduced her to others?

Maybe he himself knows that her other identities are not as important as his sister's identity.

He took her to a famous local Sichuan restaurant.

He didn't like Sichuan food, but he ordered a bunch of spicy food for her, which made Xu Zhi feel a little bit uncomfortable: "Let's eat something lighter next time. It's boring for me to eat alone."

He said it didn't matter, he didn't Good appetite.

Xu Zhi was suddenly curious: "Did someone make you drink when you were at a dinner party?"

She held a piece of twice-cooked pork in her hand, thought about it, and bit off the sperm in disgust, leaving the fat meat and green pepper on the plate.

Fei Nanzhou looked at her series of actions in a funny way and said, "Chinese drinking culture is actually a kind of obedience test. Do you think I need to drink wine forced on me by others?"

Xu Zhi was speechless, "Oh, who?" Dare you feed him? So how can someone who has no vision still survive in the circle?

After all, she was still worried: "Is the company really okay?"

He stopped stirring the sweet soup and smiled gently, unable to tell the truth: "What do you want to ask?"

He raised his head, "Are you concerned about me? Are you concerned about your ex-boyfriend?"

Xu Zhi felt stagnant for a moment, feeling trapped in his bottomless eyes.

He looks dignified and kind on the surface, but he always feels like there is an undercurrent surging.

She smelled danger: "Of course I care about you!"

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Then just wait and see what happens, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

He could always make her angry.

Xu Zhi felt that he was worrying blindly. Just like Xie Chengan said, as long as he didn't fall, what was he afraid of? He always makes a comeback.

But this game is obviously about the man's self-esteem, and his character will not give up easily.

Kong Lingqi's targeting and Qu Xiao's defection still gave him a little trouble.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Zhi received news that Qu Xiao had transferred the Huarui shares he held to Shen Cong at a very low price. The meaning of each is self-evident.

In the new round of meetings, she criticized him several times about the promotion of new products. There was only one central idea, and it was not suitable for the launch of new products at the moment.

But more than half of the people at the meeting thought this was a good time, and she left angrily holding her documents.

In the evening, Mu Yao invited her to have steak at a Western restaurant near the China World Trade Center Phase 3.

Xu Zhi drove over and parked for half an hour. After sitting down, he poured himself three glasses of lemonade and drank it.

"Slow down, why are you so angry?"

"Is it so obvious?" Xu Zhi cut off a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mu Yao took out a mirror from her bag and faced her: "Look at it yourself."

The girl in the mirror was really angry, like a white bread bun.

The expression on her face gradually faded, and she leaned her head on the dining table in a depressed manner. Her slender fingers imitated Fei Nanzhou's example and tapped twice on the table.

"Are you having trouble at work?" Mu Yao wrapped a small lunch bag for her, stuffed a whole slice of cheese in it, and handed it to her.

Xu Zhi took a bite, chewed it for a while and then said coolly: "I can't stop it, I can only be furious."

She smiled: "The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is, so you should worry less."

Xu Zhi padded his fingers . He held his chin, noncommittal.

"Shen Cong still likes you?" Mu Yao slowly cut the steak.

"Absurd." He always kept things business-like at work and didn't even give her any face. It was even worse when it came to personal matters, and he never came to see her.

"Onlookers are confused by the authorities." Mu Yao took a bite of beef and stopped talking.

People like Shen Cong are deep in the city. The more they care, the less likely they are to show it on the surface.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fei Nanzhou came to pick her up in person, and the two of them returned to their hometown together.

Family dinner, no outsiders.

The car drove around in the alley for a few times and stopped under a locust tree. The midday sun shines from the south, and a large group of shadows of trees swaying in the wind falls on the place, creating a cool and cool place.

"I remember there used to be a stage here and a lake over there." Xu Zhi pointed to a covered bridge in the west.

Half of the vermilion wooden bridge deck has been demolished, and the rest is still under construction. Several workers are busy with their heads down, sweating under the sun.

"The control has been strict in the past two years, and private buildings and other phenomena have to be rectified. In the past two years, all the pavilions in my grandfather's courtyard were demolished, but he was very angry. My father refused to help him for such a trivial matter. To clear the muddy water, he moved back to his hometown in Suzhou in a rage." He led the way and told her some interesting stories over the years.

"He has always cherished feathers." Xu Zhi said.

In my impression, his father didn't smoke or drink. Except for his bad temper when he was young, he didn't have any bad habits, let alone promiscuous relations between men and women... These things were completely insulated from his father.

But people who are too noble always feel like they are trying to gain fame.

"What you said is exactly the same as what grandpa said, but the meaning is completely opposite." Fei Nanzhou chuckled.

Xu Zhi also smiled.

It's funny to imagine someone like his dad being scolded all the time.

But Fei Pucun didn't get angry easily. Later he got tired of it and moved directly back to Dong'anfu, not even bothering to come back during the holidays.

It seems like a trivial matter, but Xu Zhipinlai has a different flavor.

When she left twelve years ago, his father was not as brilliant and promising as he is now, and his temperament was not as calm as it is now. Now that the mountains are rising, he is no longer restricted by the Yao family, and his relationship with the Yao family is also quite tense. subtle.

Underneath the calm, an undercurrent surges.

It was a rare occasion for the old man to come back from his station, with his face glowing and his sleeves rolled up, basking in the sun and feeding the fish in the yard.

After retiring from the second line in the early years, he lived in seclusion and stayed at Yuquan Mountain to recuperate. However, despite his status, travel was still very difficult. The inner and outer courtyards of an old house were as big as iron links. Xu Zhi and Fei Nanzhou were both interrogated when they came in. Shen Qian, who had always been arrogant, bowed his head and accepted the examination obediently.

Xu Zhi met the old man when he was a child. He was kind and kind, energetic, and his back was always straight.

He was also dressed simply, the cheapest old-fashioned linen shirt, and a silver watch on his skinny wrist.

But Fei Nanzhou was extremely submissive in front of him, and instead of being a bit domineering like usual, he smiled and called "Grandpa."

The old man lost the fish food and turned around and asked why he came so late.

"There's a traffic jam on the road."

Seeing him looking at the girl next to him, Fei Nanzhou explained: "This is Zhizhi."

It was obviously mentioned on the phone. The old man looked at her briefly, then nodded with a smile and said softly : "You've grown up, you're a big girl now." He

then casually asked her a few questions about her studies and work, without involving any privacy.

Xu Zhi quickly answered one by one.

"Okay, don't catch her and ask questions. She's timid." Fei Nanzhou saw her nervousness, patted her shoulder and asked her to go in with Shen Qian first.

Xu Zhi gave her a grateful look and slipped into the house.

Fei Nanzhou looked at her back and smiled. When he turned around and saw the old man looking at him with deep meaning, he knew he couldn't hide it from his eyes.

But he didn't want to explain anything, he just said: "Zhizhi is a very important person to me."

Mr. Fei didn't want to comment, so he took a sip from the teacup brought by Adjutant Chen and looked at the gold pattern on it: "You "Dad, do you know?"

Fei Nanzhou said, "I will tell him when I can."

Fei Wenshi finally looked at him seriously, not as an angry person, but more like a look. There was a piece of unrepaired bamboo in the corner. It grew wildly and scattered patches on his shoulders. It was so silent that it made him breathless.

The atmosphere was tense, and Adjutant Chen hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over: "My eldest son, I never ask anything about your business, but you should think twice before doing anything about this matter. If this is exposed, you will inevitably be poked in the back by others, criticizing your morality. It doesn't look good on Director Fei's face to corrupt, rob, and taint his adopted sister."

Fei Nanzhou said nothing, his face was cold, and there was a feeling that the light was extinguished in his eyes.

During dinner, Yao Yanlan saw that she was a little reserved and kept serving her food.

"Zhizhi, you also liked this squirrel mandarin fish before."

Xu Zhi thanked him and lowered his head to eat.

The atmosphere at the dinner table is not serious, but it is not as casual as ordinary people.

Where Mr. Fei and Fei Pu exist, they must talk about some current affairs.

Over the years, the relationship between Fei Pucun and Yao Yanlan has been weak. Yao Yanlan couldn't get in the conversation, so she just joked with Xu Zhi and asked her if her work was going well recently.

Xu Zhi said it went very smoothly.

Yao Yanlan frowned when she heard what kind of technological product research and development she was engaged in. She said how can a girl do this? She also asked her if she had any thoughts about entering the high-end game. Didn't she also work as a translator before? He also said that if he had any ideas, he could ask her for help.

Xu Zhi said no need, she was fine now, and she didn't even go ashore before taking the public exam.

Yao Yanlan smiled: "You have had good grades since you were a child. As long as you calm down, you will not be in trouble. Sometimes you are restless."

Xu Zhi was embarrassed by her comment and said she would take the exam again when she had time.

Yao Yanlan: "Girls, don't work so hard. By the way, do you have a partner?"

The chopsticks in Xu Zhi's hand stopped for a moment, and she smiled and said no.

Fei Nanzhou also put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at her one more time.

-On

the way back, Fei Nanzhou drove his own car.

From time to time, broken shadows passed by outside the window, like broken starlight, flickering on his face.

It made his face look even more grim.

Xu Zhi was chatting happily with Mu Yao. After chatting for a while, he realized that something was wrong with him. He said hesitantly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about something." His tone was gentle, but he looked at it. Nothing comes out.

However, Xu Zhi just felt that something was abnormal about him, as if something had happened to him.

In the past, he had laughed off everything about the company and didn't worry about it at all.

But she looked at him for a while and didn't dare to ask any more questions, and continued to lower her head.

The car stopped at some point, and a large shadow fell over the head.

Xu Zhi instinctively sensed danger. She looked up and saw that he had unbuckled his seat belt and leaned half over to restrain her in the passenger seat.

He was stroking her cheek, his broad palm touching her cheek closely, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.

She couldn't see his face clearly in the backlight, but she felt that his eyes were dark and fixed on him.

Xu Zhi was a little scared: "Brother..."

It seemed that he could hear his slightly heavy breathing in his ears, and Xu Zhi's heart beat faster and faster.

In the suffocating silence, he began to kiss her from the corner of the lips, his hands caressing her cheeks, squeezing them gently. Xu Zhi was stiff for a while, then softened, leaning slightly towards him and leaning into his arms.

The clear and delicious smell of him filled her breath, invading her senses. At this moment, the world was quiet, and only he was clear.

She fell into his arms, her little hands clutching his shirt tightly.

Until a car sped up in front of her and the bright lights hit her face. She immediately pushed him away and hid behind him like a frightened ostrich.

The car stopped side by side with them, with the windows rolled down, and the man in the car greeted Fei Nanzhou: "What?"

This skillful tone sounded like he was an acquaintance.

This man was in his thirties and looked a bit ruffian. He looked behind him curiously and said teasingly: "Hey, the old iron tree has blossomed? I haven't seen you looking for a woman in so many years. I thought you were a eunuch?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Fei Nanzhou noticed Xu Zhi's nervousness and said a few perfunctory words before leaving.

But the other party drove his car in front of him, blocking his way.

"What do you mean?" Fei Nanzhou's face turned cold.

"Don't mind, it's just curiosity. Why don't you introduce your sister-in-law to me?" Zhou Lei raised his eyebrows at him and looked towards the car.

Xu Zhi hid next to Fei Nanzhou again, her black hair sliding down to cover half of her face.

The light in the car was dim, and only half of her small face could be vaguely seen. She had a pointed chin and very white skin. She must be a beauty.

"Have you seen enough?" Fei Nanzhou's face became increasingly gloomy.

Since they met, Xu Zhi has never seen him change his face like this. The calmer he is, the more angry his brows are.

Normally he was quite polite to these guys.

"No, I'll just give in." Seeing that he was really angry, Zhou Lei quickly put away his playful expression and stepped back to make way for him.

Xu Zhi didn't say anything to Fei Nanzhou for a while, and kept his head lowered in silence.

The light outside the window occasionally passed over her face, like the reflection from a blade.

Cold and dazzling, just like the light just now.

She had never realized so clearly that she could not be seen in the sun.

But she didn't say anything, and Fei Nanzhou didn't mention it.

When he arrived at the residence, he got down first, walked around to the passenger seat, leaned in half of his body, unbuckled her seat belt, and took her out of the seat.

Xu Zhi hooked her arms around his neck and pressed herself firmly into his arms, as obediently as a child.

His heart seemed to be pricked by a needle. He was always good at dancing and eloquent, but he couldn't say a word at this moment.
