I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Using This to Test the Cadres?

***

“Whoa”

But an inappropriate exclamation suddenly rang out, extinguishing the desire in her heart as she looked at Xia Zhichu beside her, whose eyes carried a teasing look and wore an auntie’s smile.

Nan Zha only felt that she was somewhat of an eyesore.

Although she wasn’t embarrassed enough to be shy, being interrupted like this made her lose that mood. She glared at Xia Zhichu who was still smiling.

With a red face, she bent down to pick up Bai Ning, trying to prevent her gaze from looking downward. Nan Zha quickened her pace and walked toward the guest room nearby.

The two who hurriedly entered the room didn’t notice the resentful gaze from not far away.

………………

Perhaps Bai Ning was indeed a bit tired. After all, she had experienced intense physical activity. She fell asleep shortly after lying on the guest room bed.

Looking at Bai Ning’s peaceful sleeping face, although Nan Zha’s face was still somewhat flushed, she had basically calmed down.

Although Bai Ning’s appearance just now was very tempting, when she thought about who had caused it, Nan Zha couldn’t show a smile on her face.

“Have you figured out how to deal with Nan Ziyue? Do you need my help?”

Seeing Nan Zha’s gloomy expression, Xia Zhichu asked tentatively. What Nan Ziyue did tonight truly disgusted her. If it weren’t for Bai Ning’s good luck, this matter might have become serious.

“No need, I’ll handle it personally.”

Nan Zha refused. The Nan family had already suffered greatly after losing the Xia family’s investment, and tonight she had also boarded the big ship that was the Jiang family.

Dealing with Nan Ziyue was simple, it only required some basic methods.

But her target was the entire Nan family. Everything needed to be planned carefully, and she might not even need to act herself, the Jiang family would probably make a move.

“Then what are you doing now?”

“I’ll stay here and watch over Bai Ning. After she wakes up, I’ll take her to the hospital for a checkup to see if there are any aftereffects.”

Although the banquet hadn’t been going on for long, Nan Zha was no longer in the mood to participate. After all, such an incident had occurred, and her ultimate purpose for attending the banquet had also been coincidentally achieved just now, so the banquet no longer held any meaning for her.

Rather than going downstairs to exchange fake pleasantries with that crowd, she’d rather stay here and accompany Bai Ning as she rested.

“Alright, I’ll go down first. My dad is still downstairs. Let me know when you’re ready to leave.”

Although Xia Zhichu didn’t want to go to the banquet either, obviously her family wouldn’t allow it.

She could only mutter as she walked outside. She didn’t understand why her father still paid so much attention to her when her two brothers were already so excellent.

However, since Nan Zha was leaving later, she would run away with Nan Zha. After sending Bai Ning to the hospital, she planned to go play at her bar.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhichu’s steps became much lighter.

Nan Zha sat quietly beside her.

Looking at the sleeping Bai Ning, the corners of Nan Zha’s mouth showed a slight smile.

She silently guarded beside Bai Ning, quietly appreciating Bai Ning’s sleeping face.

Looking and looking, she gradually became lost in thought.

Her slightly childish face looked nothing like someone who had already graduated, it wouldn’t be surprising to mistake her for a high school student.

“Mmm~”

Making a cute murmur in her sleep, Bai Ning turned toward Nan Zha’s direction.

Her initial position was lying flat, but after turning over, she was now lying on her side. Perhaps because it was a bit hot, the blanket was also pushed off during the turn.

Because she was wearing Jiang Xiyue’s clothes, they were inevitably somewhat loose.

Even though Bai Ning was wearing the smallest size, compared to her petite figure, it was still a bit too large.

So when she turned over, some things were inevitably exposed.

[Nan Zha secretly delighted, feedback value +106]

“Gulp”

The sound of swallowing saliva rang out, seeming quite obvious in the quiet room, but fortunately only one person was awake.

Looking at Bai Ning’s snow-white skin exposed outside, Nan Zha somehow felt her mouth becoming dry.

She had seen it like this several times before, but perhaps because of Bai Ning’s seductive appearance just now, her view of this beautiful scene had also changed.

With a completely red face, she looked for quite a while, then patted her cheeks and forcibly suppressed the urge to reach out. Nan Zha carefully pinched Bai Ning’s collar and pulled it up to cover the exposed spring scenery.

This was really too much of a test for cadres.

If she didn’t have such strong willpower now, she might really not be able to resist.

Looking at the sleeping Bai Ning, unconsciously, Nan Zha also felt a trace of drowsiness creeping into her mind.

The relaxation after high tension made her feel somewhat unable to bear it. Now in this quiet environment, drowsiness unknowingly came over her.

Glancing at Bai Ning who was sleeping sweetly, Nan Zha smiled. This way she could rest well inside.

Lying down beside Bai Ning, as the clock hands in the room moved, Nan Zha gradually fell into dreamland.

………………

“Do you feel better now?”

Looking at Bai Ning who still seemed somewhat confused, Nan Zha asked gently. She had woken up earlier than Bai Ning because Jiang Xiyue had asked her to go to the banquet scene downstairs.

At the banquet scene, the Xia family announced the termination of cooperation with the Nan family. Nan Ziyue’s face turned green, and then immediately after, Jiang Xiyue announced the matter of cooperating with her.

The people at the scene, whether they were from Yun City or from outside Yun City, all began to take her seriously.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she severely humiliated Nan Ziyue. The hatred in Nan Ziyue’s eyes was almost overflowing, but this was just the beginning, Nan Zha would make her pay a heavy price.

After handling the matters downstairs, she hurried back to the room and woke up Bai Ning.

“Pretty much, there’s nothing seriously wrong anymore.”

Rubbing her somewhat dizzy temples, Bai Ning responded.

Although Nan Zha was a bit tired, she hadn’t slept long. After a short rest, she woke up and looked at the time, feeling it was about right, so she woke Bai Ning up.

It was already evening now, and only the emergency department was left at the hospital. Logically, it would be better to go tomorrow morning, but Nan Zha was still a bit worried and planned to go take a look tonight, then do a thorough examination tomorrow.

“We’ll go to the hospital later for a checkup first.”

“Ah!?”

Hearing about going to the hospital, Bai Ning’s face showed a resistant expression, and she immediately refused.

“I’m not going. I’m really fine now. I just feel dizzy because I just woke up.”

The drug’s effects had long passed. After all, she hadn’t been holding it in, she had already released it just now, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

“Be good, let’s go check it out together.”

With a serious expression, Nan Zha’s tone left no room for refusal.

“Oh.”

Pursing her lips and looking at Nan Zha’s serious expression, Bai Ning responded quietly.

“Alright, we’ll go home after checking at the hospital later. Tonight was my fault, if I hadn’t let you come to participate, this wouldn’t have happened.”

[Nan Zha guilty, dejected, feedback value +205]

Hearing this, Bai Ning looked surprised. She hadn’t expected Nan Zha to apologize to her. Although her expression was somewhat stiff and her voice was small.

But judging from the system’s notification sound, she was sincerely expressing her apology for what happened today.

“It’s, it’s fine.”

This was the first time Nan Zha had such a gentle attitude toward her, making her somewhat unaccustomed to it. Besides, Nan Zha had said not to let her come, but she had insisted on coming herself, so she couldn’t blame Nan Zha entirely.

“Don’t worry, I’ll settle accounts with Nan Ziyue. She’ll pay the price for what she did.”

Seeing that Bai Ning didn’t seem to hold any grudge against her and even looked a bit shy, Nan Zha breathed a sigh of relief.

When mentioning Nan Ziyue, the smile completely disappeared from Nan Zha’s face.
