Chapter 145: Chapter 63 (part 1)

Thump thump thump!

Ning Wan suddenly felt the blood rush to her head. It was a perfect explanation of what 'euphoria' meantTo be more precise, the rush of joy after victory. 

As if Fu Zheng had not had enough, he looked into her eyes, and then leaned over to kiss her again.

This kiss lasted even longer. Fu Zheng was already breathing unevenly, though still keeping himself under control. But when the kiss went deeper and deeper, he finally retreated as if trying to restrain something. Soon after, he glanced back at Ning Wan and quickly lowered his head to give her a little peck.

After letting her go, the man standing before her blushed a little, then immediately pretended to be cool and calm, and said to Ning Wan with an air of composure, "It really never crossed my mind that I would encounter the 'unspoken rules' of the workplace one day."

Embarrassed, Ning Wan explained stubbornly, "It's probably just that at Zhengyuan, 'when the upper beam isn't straight, the lower beam is crooked'. There's Jin Jianhua, and Gao Yuan too, it would be more impressive if I hadn't learnt anything after working here for so many years. I'm just imitating what I've learnt, there's nothing wrong with that."

Fu Zheng first looked stunned, and then embarrassed. Who knew if the reason he was embarrassed was due to Gao Yuan, but he patted Ning Wan's head somewhat helplessly, and then bent down slightly so his eyes were level with Ning Wan. "I have something to tell you about Gao Yuan."

The moment Ning Wan heard Gao Yuan's name, alarm bells rang inside her mind. "Did he lay hands on you before me?! I'll help you beat him with a stick!"

“……”

Fu Zheng looked as though he was trying hard not to laugh, while at the same time having a headache. "Forget it, I forgot that you're not sober yet. When you've come to your senses, there are some things that I need to tell you."

But what drunk was rational? Ning Wan continued inquiring about Gao Yuan almost obsessively. "Did that old goat lay hands on you?! He-- he didn't sleep with you, did he?!? Or... or did y-you sleep with him?!"

Fu Zheng eventually collapsed under her interrogation. "I swear, Gao Yuan and I are absolutely innocent. I haven't slept with him, and he hasn't slept with me, okay?"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Ning Wan muttered, "That's good... Anyway, I definitely like you more than Gao Yuan."

She said this, felt aggrieved, and couldn't help but mumble, "This is my second confession..."

Although it was said very softly, Fu Zheng keenly grasped onto the most important piece of information. "The second?"

His confused demeanor was an obvious confirmation that Ning Wan's cherry confession had failed.

Ning Wan was a little disheartened and a little excited at the same time. "You really didn't see it!"

If he had seen it, he would surely have agreed earlier! So she did have charm after all!

Fu Zheng looked really surprised and persuaded further, "How did you confess?"

"Have you not gone home recently? You didn't eat the fruit I bought you last time, did you?"

Fu Zheng paused and finally realized that when Ning Wan said 'home', she meant the second-hand house in Yuelan Community. He could only nod.

That's what I thought! flitted across Ning Wan's face before she changed the subject shyly. "Well, it's okay, you didn't know. Anyway, I've already confessed to you again." Saying so, she seemed to think of something and stared at him. "So if you haven't been home for so long, where did you live?" She paused. "If you didn't go and find Gao Yuan, did you go looking for some other rich woman?"

Fu Zheng was simply helpless. "No, you're the only rich woman I've met who's been willing to keep me."

Fu Zheng had grown up looking like this, yet only she and Gao Yuan had given him an offer of unspoken rules? That wasn't scientific, was it?

But if no one had offered, then so much the better. This way, she could have him all to herself.

"Anyway, you're mine now! There's nothing good about Gao Yuan! The senior partner I'm about to follow will make much more than him! Just you wait, I'll study a bit and steal a bit and in the future I'll definitely be bigger and stronger than Gao Yuan!"

Ning Wan's promises had become slightly incoherent. "In the future I'll steal all the senior partner's cases to provide for you! Don't you worry!"

However, Fu Zheng didn't seem greatly touched by her solemn, bridge-burning pledge. Instead, he couldn't help but laugh and even persuaded, "Wouldn't the senior partner be sad if he heard you saying that? Aren't you pretty fond of this senior partner? Don't you feel guilty stealing his cases to raise another man?"

That was indeed a problem. But due to being drunk and currently having limited analytical ability, Ning Wan came up with no ideas even after having thought hard about it. In the end she no longer felt like thinking and simply asserted irrationally, "The senior partner isn't in love with me or anything like that, is he? You're following me, and you'll be mine in the future. No matter how good the senior partner is, he's not the lady of the houseNeiren: 'The person inside the house'. A term that men in ancient China used to refer to their wives at home lmao..."

"The senior partner will be heart-broken to hear that. Hasn't he been giving you special treatment for a long time now?"

"I'll treat him like my mentor, and only the two of us need to know what I just said to you," Ning Wan boasted. "If it never reaches his ears, how can he be broken-hearted?"

How odd. It was the moment in which they had just defined their relationship, so what was Fu Zheng thinking? Why talk about senior-partner-this and senior-partner-that when the two of them were going to fly together hand-in-hand in law and politics in the future?

No, how had she forgotten? Fu Zheng hadn't gotten into the senior partner's team! So he did still mind deep down? Was that why he kept talking about the senior partner?

She and Fu Zheng were now in a boss-subordinate romance, one in which the man was weak and the woman was strong. Ning Wan had seen this sort of thing on Weibo before. The woman had to make sure the man felt like he was being respected, lest his pride be bruised--

"Fu Zheng, don't feel like you're inferior! You're only thirty, and thirty is still very young. Why, this senior partner might already be seventy or eighty! By the time you reach his age, you may have surpassed his achievements!"

These were obviously consoling words, yet Fu Zheng's expression had not brightened up. Instead there was a somewhat intriguing look on his face. "I hope you'll still be able to say this when you meet the senior partner in person."

He regarded Ning Wan with some pity: "Okay, okay, let's leave it at that. I'm afraid that if you keep talking, you'll be upset once you come to. Ning Wan, you really can't hold your drink."

?

What was there to be upset about? She had gotten her hands on Fu Zheng thanks to Shao Lili's advice to confess boldly, and passed the senior partner's written examination. This was to have celebrated success in both career and love. She was over the moon!

At the same time, the classic side effect of being drunk emerged - a drunk never admits that they've had too much.

"I'm not drunk," Ning Wan immediately retorted. "I don't smell of alcohol at all!"

Although she had mistakenly drank an alcoholic cocktail just now, its contents really weren't enough to call it 'strong'. It was merely that a single glass was enough to show Ning Wan's true colours. But the one whose true colours had been exposed refused to admit it.

"You do."

"What?"

Fu Zheng's lips curled as he chuckled and repeated, "You do smell of alcohol."

Ning Wan couldn't help herself. She sniffed her sleeve, "Where? I don't... "

Before she could say what she didn't, Fu Zheng leaned close beside her ear. His tone is gentle, like a wild and unpredictable vine, his wet, warm breath twining up to brush her ear. It was a very gentle action, yet before Ning Wan could react, those vines had already reached out their lush, luxuriant branches and conquered her lands.

"I tasted it." Fu Zheng's voice was as ambiguous as a snake. He kissed Ning Wan's ear. "On your mouth."

Ning Wan felt like she was on fire. For an instant she thought about making a break for it. She had always thought before that Fu Zheng was a fool, so how was it that she now felt like he was dangerous? It seemed as though her normal composure could only be restored if she stayed far away from him.

 

In the end, Fu Zheng walked Ning Wan home. It was a journey of only ten minutes, yet it took Ning Wan and Fu Zheng nearly half an hour. If it wasn't Ning Wan pouncing on him for a kiss, it was Fu Zheng bending to offer one, helpless to resist. That night, Ning Wan lived as though she were a foolish king. Fu Zheng's brilliantly handsome face was close at hand for her to look at at all times, and she followed his figure with glistening, starry eyes. And predictably, every time she looked at him like that, she would receive a kiss.

Whenever she accidentally got drunk, Ning Wan's moods were amplified. She could never tear her thoughts away from her horrible father, and when she sobered up she would often feel depressed and downcast. This time, however, her eyes were full of the new boyfriend she had just plundered, and there was no room in her mind for those old and wretched memories.

Never before had Ning Wan known that being drunk could feel so good. Everything was a kaleidoscope of colour, buoyant and light. Her heart seemed to be packed with cotton candy, just teetering on the edge of being too sweet.

Everything was perfect just like this. There was no need for wealth or career or anything else. So long as Fu Zheng was there, Ning Wan felt like the happiest woman in the world.

The last thing she remembered was kissing Fu Zheng up against the door of her apartment. He whispered hoarsely in her ear that he still had a secret to tell her, but she had already promised to raise him, and she wasn't allowed to deny that it happened or go back on her word.

Of course she wouldn't deny it, and she would never go back on her word.

Was he joking?! How could she possibly regret the man she had worked so hard to catch via drunken coercion?!
