Chapter 57: Why Is She Here Again?

As soon as she got off work, Xia Nanxi stepped out of the elevator and saw the person she least wanted to see.

Gong Jinyu was sitting in the lobby, scrolling through his phone, looking like he was waiting for someone.

He was wearing a white T-shirt, his hair looked casual and messy, adding a touch of laziness to his appearance.

It was rush hour, and everyone passing by would glance at him.

Zhang Aidi happened to walk beside Xia Nanxi. When she saw Gong Jinyu, her eyes lit up.

“Wow! So handsome!”

As soon as she spoke, Gong Jinyu looked over.

When he saw Xia Nanxi beside Zhang Aidi, he smirked and raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Aidi thought Gong Jinyu was paying attention to her. She grabbed Xia Nanxi’s arm, excitedly.

“Nanxi! He saw me, he saw me! He… he’s coming over to me!”

Xia Nanxi awkwardly smiled. She had planned to slip away secretly, but now it seemed like she had no chance.

Gong Jinyu strode up to her and sighed, “You really have no conscience. I sent you so many verification messages today, you didn’t accept my friend request, and you even blocked me.”

Xia Nanxi frowned. She had received a friend request from a stranger today, but the verification message was so flirtatious and cheesy, she thought it was a scammer and blocked him directly.

Now it seemed like she shouldn’t have just blocked him, she should have blacklisted Gong Jinyu’s account.

Zhang Aidi, standing beside them, opened her mouth in surprise. She didn’t expect the handsome guy to be looking for Xia Nanxi!

Almost instantly, Zhang Aidi’s gaze changed from surprise to a state of eating melon.

Zhang Aidi could already guess who ordered the flowers and breakfast today. She nudged Xia Nanxi with her elbow and whispered, “Nanxi, this guy is so handsome!”

Xia Nanxi didn’t intend to respond. Instead, she put on her motorcycle helmet and walked out on her own.

Gong Jinyu immediately followed.

“I know a great French restaurant, I’ve already made a reservation. Would I be honored to have dinner with you?”

Xia Nanxi didn’t even look at him, she got on her motorcycle, leaving only a trail of exhaust fumes for Gong Jinyu.

“Xia Nanxi, do you think you can make me give up this way? I like you just like this!”

Gong Jinyu’s voice came from behind.

Xia Nanxi twisted the throttle, unable to help but curse.

What the hell! Was Gong Jinyu trying to pick a fight with her? How could she see him everywhere she went!

On the side of the street, inside a Rolls Royce.

Zhan Chengyan watched all this unfold.

“Wang Dong, how did that guy get into the company!”

He narrowed his eyes, his whole body radiating a dangerous aura.

Wang Dong couldn’t help but shiver. He had already told the security guards that if they found Gong Jinyu within a hundred meters of the company, they had to report it and find a way to get rid of him.

He didn’t expect the security guards to be so useless, they couldn’t even keep an eye on one person.

“President, I’ll go find a way to get rid of him right away!”

Zhan Chengyan sneered, “This is the first time, I hope it’s the last. If I see Gong Jinyu harassing company employees again, you can get out of here with him!”

Wang Dong was speechless. He knew that Xia Nanxi was related to the president, otherwise he wouldn’t be so angry because of Gong Jinyu.

Gong Jinyu and their president were notorious rivals. After all, they were both famous figures in the upper circles of Huadu.

Wang Dong got out of the car and respectfully watched the car drive away.

When he turned back to look for Gong Jinyu, Gong Jinyu was already gone.

…

When Xia Nanxi returned home, Zhan Chengyan had already come back.

He was sitting on the sofa, looking down.

Xia Nanxi had already calmed down and sat beside Zhan Chengyan, asking, “What’s wrong? Did something bad happen at work?”

Zhan Chengyan was still a little upset, but when he saw Xia Nanxi, those emotions had vanished.

He shook his head and pulled Xia Nanxi to sit down.

“I have to go out to take care of some things, I’ll be back late, I’m a little worried about you being home alone.”

Xia Nanxi thought something had happened. Hearing this, she quickly said, “Don’t worry about work, I’m an adult after all, what’s there to worry about being home alone?”

Zhan Chengyan wanted to say something, but he paused, then rubbed Xia Nanxi’s nose and smiled, “Even if you’re an adult, I still have the responsibility to protect you. Don’t open the door if you see strangers, wait for me, I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

Zhan Chengyan got up and put on his coat. After a few more words of advice, he left.

Xia Nanxi touched her nose, her face had turned red at some point.

She immediately rushed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face.

“Xia Nanxi, calm down! Calm down! He’s your legal husband, what are you shy about!”

Looking at herself in the mirror, Xia Nanxi tried to calm herself down.

She took a deep breath and called Jiang Can.

Soon, Jiang Can’s car stopped downstairs.

As soon as Xia Nanxi got in the car, Jiang Can noticed something was wrong.

“What’s wrong with you? Did that Zhan Chengyan bully you? Where is he now? I’ll go get revenge for you!”

Jiang Can was grumbling and about to get out of the car.

Xia Nanxi quickly stopped her.

“No! How could he bully me? Let’s go, let’s go out and eat something delicious!”

Jiang Can looked at Xia Nanxi until she was sure she wasn’t lying, then started the car.

When people are unlucky, everything will be annoying and troublesome.

They hadn’t driven far when they hit a traffic jam.

Jiang Can sat in the car and gradually lost her patience. Who knew that the next second, their car’s rear end would make a close encounter with the car behind them.

She leaned forward slightly under the force of gravity.

“Traffic jam and still driving forward, is this person blind?”

Jiang Can got out of the car and walked to the back of the car angrily. Xia Nanxi followed.

The driver of the car behind was initially a little apprehensive. After all, he had hit an Audi, and his car was just a beat-up Wuling.

Seeing that the people who got out of the car were two girls, the driver visibly straightened his back.

“It’s nothing serious, just a little bit of paint scraped off. You guys drive four rings, you’re rich, I don’t need to pay for this little thing, right?”

Jiang Can looked at the rear end of her car, her brows furrowed. The traffic was already slow, and the paint was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

But this was her new car, she hadn’t driven it for long, and now the rear end was scratched, she just couldn’t feel comfortable with it.

Plus, the driver of the car behind was so arrogant, she couldn’t swallow this.
