46: Chapter 46 A Night for Two

Seeing that Skaff and Gu Nan were tactful enough to leave, Miss Xia was very satisfied.

Zhang Shan, on the other hand, felt very helpless! They were supposed to be brothers, right! Leaving him behind to face this woman alone was truly desperate. Just wait until he got back; he would see how he would deal with Gu Nan.

Xia Wei silently moved to Zhang Shan's side, watching him. She had developed a strong curiosity about him. He was too mysterious. Other than knowing he was a friend of Moriarty, she knew nothing else.

Xia Wei knew this was dangerous. For someone whose identity was unknown, she knew that getting close to him carried a high degree of risk.

But wasn't there an old saying: curiosity killed the cat? And she was that cat.

When a woman starts to get curious about a man, it means she is definitely interested in him. She definitely has motives.

"Miss Xia, it's getting late. Let me take you back. Since they've all left, I'm not really at ease letting you go home alone." Zhang Shan tried his best to act like a gentleman.

The weather is unpredictable.

The damn weather really left Zhang Shan speechless.

A moment ago, the sky was clear, and now it was pouring rain. To make matters worse, Gu Nan had driven off with the car.

Damn Gu Nan, just you wait.

The rain poured down.

There were clearly several umbrellas there, but Xia Wei was being difficult and insisted on sharing one with Zhang Shan. For the sake of his damn gentlemanly demeanor, Zhang Shan endured it!

The rain soaked Xia Wei's clothes, revealing her exquisite figure. Zhang Shan could only look around randomly, trying to keep his eyes straight ahead.

"Brother Moriarty, what do you think will happen between those two tonight? I'm so curious, really. Doesn't it look like Miss Xia has taken a shine to Brother Robinson tonight?" Gu Nan displayed the characteristics of a gossip-monger to the fullest.

"Hehe, I also think Miss Xia has taken a shine to Brother Robinson." Moriarty might have been influenced by Gu Nan, as he had become much more curious about this gossip.

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, though?" Gu Nan was truly worried.

"Xia Wei has significant influence in Zhili Country. From what I understand, she is the daughter of a high-ranking government official. But she also has a certain amount of influence in the underworld. She is not a simple person. If she cooperates with us, it will be very beneficial for us." Moriarty analyzed it logically.

"Tsk, then doesn't this depend on Brother Robinson's charm? If they get along well, this won't be a problem at all."

Moriarty nodded in agreement.

Truly, Gu Nan was worthy of being the king of gossip. Who knew how he could be so gossipy as a killer?

"Robinson, to be honest, I'm really interested in you." Xia Wei was the first to break the silence.

"It is my honor to have Miss Xia interested in me. But I am very curious, what exactly about me interests you, Miss Xia? Is it my appearance, or something else?"

"Hmm~ What if I said I was interested in everything about you?"

"Then I'm sorry, I'm not very interested in you."

"You make me lose face like this. I've said it to this extent, and you're still rejecting me? Is my charm not enough, or am I not worthy of standing by your side?" Xia Wei was a little angry.

"Miss Xia, how should I put this? Today is the first time we've met. You don't know me, and I don't know you. I don't know if you're joking or serious. But to someone who just met you, anyone would think this is just a joke." Zhang Shan felt helpless; women were really too hard to deal with. He was afraid of hurting her if he said the wrong thing, but he was also afraid she would misunderstand his intentions.

"I know I'm being a bit abrupt. But, I really do like you. I like you just because of your face. I'm a sucker for looks. The first time I saw you, I felt like you were my type, that you suited my taste." Xia Wei explained so much to someone for the first time.

"Although I don't know you or your background, I'm willing to spend time getting to know you. So please, don't keep me at arm's length. Sometimes I might even be able to help you." Xia Wei stood under the umbrella, looking at Zhang Shan just like that.

"Miss Xia, I can tell you very clearly. I used to be a hitman. I specialized in killing. Whoever paid more, I could kill. If one day someone paid me enough to kill you, I would absolutely kill you without mercy."

Xia Wei shrugged and suddenly started laughing.

"Robinson, you underestimate me, don't you? If I were afraid of such things, why would I have said I liked you right from the start? Do you think Moriarty is a good person? The people he associates with aren't simple either. As for me, you only see my surface. You don't know me either. Actually, we can give ourselves a chance. You get to know me, and I'll get to know you."

Zhang Shan really didn't want to argue with her anymore; he felt it was too hard to talk to women. They didn't reason with you at all; they just did things their own way. Too terrifying!

"Miss Xia, I understand what you mean. We can get to know each other, but please don't say you like me the moment you see me. That sentence is too fake. And it's too easy to scare me away; my little heart can't take it." Zhang Shan put on a startled expression.

Seeing him like this, Xia Wei couldn't help but giggle. When she laughed, it was as if the whole world had brightened up with the arrival of spring.

"Miss Xia, do you smile at everyone like that?"

"What, are you jealous? Haha, I only smile like this at you. Don't you feel honored?"

Actually, Zhang Shan just wanted to say that she looked beautiful when she smiled. He didn't expect her to misunderstand it as him being jealous.

"Miss Xia, we've arrived at your place. It was my honor to see you home. I wish you a good night's sleep, I'll take my leave now!"

"Oh my, you really are a gentleman! Why don't you come in and sit for a while? There's no one at my place, you know!" Xia Wei teased Zhang Shan.

"No, Miss Xia, you should go back quickly. I won't be going to your place. After all, we aren't that familiar yet." Zhang Shan refused without mercy.

After saying that, he hailed a taxi and sped away.

Xia Wei watched the back of the taxi and nodded. This person could still be trusted.

Just now was just a small test she had given him. If he had stepped through their door, she would absolutely not have let him live past the next day. It seemed this person's character was still passable.

In the taxi, Zhang Shan carefully recalled the little moments of being with Xia Wei.

This woman was setting traps for him everywhere. If he hadn't been too cautious, he definitely would have fallen into her schemes.

This woman was not simple. If they could become friends, it would absolutely, absolutely be beneficial to him. If they became enemies, the consequences would be unimaginable.
