Are You Crazy? He's only an Intern Lawyer?-Chapter 76 - 75 Honest Zhang Wei, Xiao Baihe is Really Fragrant

“What’s next, shall we go straight to my office?”

Jessica looped her arm through Zhang Wei’s after walking out of the restaurant, and then continued to ask.

Accompanied by a beautiful woman, what man would choose to end the day?

Zhang Wei didn’t consider himself a youngster, but with such a rare opportunity…

“Oh, Jessica, shopping and dining with you is such a delight, but I can’t keep you occupied for too long, so let’s head back.

After all, opportunities like this, though rare – very rare indeed – will come again since we have time…”

“It looks like I need to notify Cui Xi again to reschedule some appointments for this afternoon.

As you said, chances to have you shop with me are few and far between.”

Jessica evidently didn’t catch the hidden intent in Zhang Wei’s words and went along with his suggestion.

“So, we continue?”

Zhang Wei feigned hesitation on the surface, but inside, he was secretly delighted.

He let Jessica cling to his arm, and the two of them hit the streets again, heading to a nearby bustling commercial street to start their shopping trip.

At the same time.

After Zhang Wei had left the restaurant.

Three heads bowed low, huddled together discussing something.

“Have they left yet?”

“Seems like they have.”

“Then let’s not hide anymore, hurry and follow them!”

Xia Qianyue, Xiao Baihe, and Mo Yuzhu cautiously popped their heads out, confirming that Zhang Wei and Jessica were on their way again, and followed along.

“Oh, that foreign chick is looping arms with Zhang again!”

Mo Yuzhu, with a slightly ajar mouth, watched the pair nearly glued to each other from not far away.

For any woman, there’s nothing more infuriating than watching your boyfriend cozy up with another beauty.

Especially when that woman has such significant…

assets!

“Where are they going?

This street doesn’t look like the way back, does it?”

Xiao Baihe also noticed something; she saw Zhang Wei and Jessica did not head straight back to United Financial Building.

Up ahead, Zhang Wei and Jessica, while wandering around, actually wandered into another commercial street.

Xiao Baihe and Mo Yuzhu exchanged glances, then both looked towards Xia Qianyue in the team.

At this moment, Xia Qianyue’s face had turned stone-cold, like the ice outside a window during the harsh winter, chilling to the bone.

“Xia Hanhan, you better be careful, that guy seems to be enjoying himself a little too much~”

Xiao Baihe chuckled, clearly stirring the pot.

“Let’s catch up and see!” suggested Mo Yuzhu, quietly trailing behind Zhang Wei and his companion.

Following this, they witnessed scene after scene of what looked like a couple’s “date” at the commercial street.

“My gosh, this store looks nice, shall we try it?”

“Sure.”

“Zhang Wei, do you know how to shoot?

I want that cat plushie.”

“Leave it to me!”

“This claw machine looks amazing, the plushies inside are so cute.

My knight, can you help me?”

“How could I refuse when you ask like that!”

“Hmm, is this a photo booth?

We’ve been playing for so long, shall we take a picture to capture this wonderful moment?”

“If the beautiful princess requests it, how could a knight refuse?”

“Zhang, you really have a way with words~”

Finally, Jessica and Zhang Wei emerged from a photo booth.

They had a great time and took quite a few intimate photos, just like a real couple.

“Jessica, is all this really just a test, because I feel that…”

Looking at the selfies in his hand, Zhang Wei felt excited but also a little disheartened.

“Of course, what else did you think?” Jessica merely smiled faintly, her response wrapped within that smile.

“Alright then, let’s head back…”

After more than two hours of fun at the commercial street, the pair set off to return to the United Financial Building.

And just after the two had left the shopping street, three heads peeked out from a store at the corner of the street, arranged in a “1” formation.

“They are heading back!”

“No duh, they had their fun, of course they’re heading back!”

“Zhang Wei…”

Mo Yuzhu and Xiao Baihe looked at Xia Qianyue with complex gazes.

For the latter, those past couple of hours had been utter torture.

“Xia Hanhan, you better be careful.

Men can change hearts after stirring up trouble with other women outside!”

Xiao Baihe snorted coldly, as though she was very experienced, tersely reminding her.

She considered herself quite knowledgeable about men.

Because at the Procuratorate Headquarters, she had seen plenty of men “making mistakes.”

Divorce, affairs, and even the most extreme cases…

All these men had one thing in common: they told more and more lies after their first lie.

Eventually, the men grew tired, felt that dealing with their current wives was too exhausting, didn’t intend to lie anymore, and showed their ferocious side.

Often by that point, the wife was no longer the person he had once vowed to love forever!

Xiao Baihe had seen many men betray their so-called vows and commit deplorable acts.

She was worried that Zhang Wei might do the same!

Of course, when it came to fighting ability, a hundred Zhang Weis probably wouldn’t be a match for Xia Qianyue.

“Will Zhang Wei change his heart…”

Xia Qianyue stopped talking and buried her head in Mo Yuzhu’s chest.

“Hanhan, don’t be scared.

Maybe Zhang Wei was just playing the field, right?”

Mo Yuzhu patted Xia Qianyue’s back and, after consoling her, couldn’t help but retort to Xiao Baihe, “Another thing, what are you talking about?

You don’t even have a boyfriend, acting like a love guru in front of us?”

“A boyfriend?

That’s just because I don’t want one.

If I were willing, the men chasing me could line up from Dongfang Capital to Longdu!” Xiao Baihe huffed and turned her head away, no longer looking at the two.

“Tsch, bragging without a draft!”

Mo Yuzhu huffed in response, then comforted Xia Qianyue again, “Hanhan, don’t be scared; you’ve got me.

If worst comes to worst, I’ll go abroad to get surgery and become a man to accompany you!”

“Pfft, Yuzhu, just forget it!”

Hearing this, Xia Qianyue couldn’t hold back her expression and burst into laughter through her tears.

“What, you despise me?” Mo Yuzhu pouted, feeling indignant.

I am trying to comfort you with good intentions, and you actually despise me?

It looks like we can’t be good sisters…

“Come on, let’s follow them!”

Xia Qianyue showed a smile on her face, but there was still a tinge of sadness in her eyes as she pointed at the two people ahead.

Mo Yuzhu and Xiao Baihe looked at each other and also began to follow.

They watched Zhang Wei and Jessica enter the United Financial Building and take the elevator up to the 41st floor.

Afterward, Xia Qianyue’s phone rang.

[Zhang Wei: Sorry about just now, I was shopping with the doctor and didn’t have time to reply to the messages.

She said it was part of the treatment and couldn’t be interrupted…]

The three heads came together again.

What does Zhang Wei mean by that?

That was psychological therapy just now?

I bet that woman was almost glued to you, huh?

“Should we wait here and confront him face to face?”

“Good idea, let’s see how he wriggles out of this one!”

“Hanhan, if he lies later, give him the Childless Descendant Kick straight away and extinguish his bad intentions!”

“Alright, leave it to me!”

Ding—

The elevator opened, with Zhang Wei ending his meeting with Jessica and coming back down to the first floor.

As soon as he exited, he felt three piercing stares upon him.

“Hmm, what are you guys doing here?” Zhang Wei’s expression was slightly surprised, but he walked over nonetheless.

He hadn’t expected that Xia Qianyue, Xiao Baihe, and Mo Yuzhu, the trio of girls, would actually be at the first floor of United Financial Building.

Could it be that they had seen everything from earlier?

Xia Qianyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Xiao Baihe stepped forward first.

“Zhang Wei, what were you doing just now!”

“Having dinner and shopping with a psychologist, and taking selfies together?”

“Hanhan sent you so many messages, and you didn’t reply to a single one?”

“Have you been thinking of what’s in the pot while eating out of the bowl?”

“Tsch, men, not a single one is any good; they are all scumbags!”

In the end, Xiao Baihe punctuated her interrogation with a cold snort.

“So it was you who sent all those messages just now!”

But Zhang Wei quickly caught on to the issue at hand and looked at Xiao Baihe with a realization.

“You, what are you talking about?

I don’t know anything about any messages!” Xiao Baihe’s face changed, and her expression flickered.

“Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, do you realize how terrible your lying skills are?”

Zhang Wei took the initiative to lean forward, stepping closer and forcing Xiao Baihe to retreat slightly, her presence significantly diminished.

Instead of directly answering Xiao Baihe’s question, Zhang Wei turned it around to challenge her, with noticeable effect.

Seeing the prosecutor retreat, Mo Yuzhu muttered to herself “To think she’s a prosecutor, succumbing so easily,” and had no choice but to confront Zhang Wei herself.

“Zhang Wei, is that Westerner’s weapon soft or not?”

“Uh, pretty soft…”

“Then do you like her?”

“Our relationship is purely doctor-patient, it’s not a matter of liking or not liking.”

“But she was holding your arm.”

“That was just a test, part of the psychological counseling.

I’m the patient and have to follow the doctor’s orders.”

Mo Yuzhu stared at Zhang Wei blankly, her heart not believing a word, yet she was helpless.

Zhang Wei was simply too “honest,” not even attempting to deny it.

Seeing his cooperation, Mo Yuzhu didn’t know where to begin with the next question.

You call Zhang Wei a “jerk,” but he had no intention of hiding anything.

Yet, you can’t say he isn’t a “jerk” either, for he still cavorts with flowers despite having Xia Qianyue.

“Tell me, did you react this way just because you saw me with the doctor?”

Zhang Wei looked at the trio, especially Xia Qianyue, whose uneasy expression made things clear to him.

He didn’t plan to lie; once you lie to a woman, it leads to a second and third lie.

He had seen enough men who lied about cheating, and even worse…

In his past life, he had defended such men; hence he knew that even with honest confessions, a man should never fabricate stories to a woman.

Even if Xia Qianyue felt jealous, Zhang Wei and Jessica had not progressed further in their relationship, so sticking to the story that they were merely doctor and patient was the way to go.

After all, Zhang Wei, with his integrity and innocence, had nothing to hide!

“Silly, can I take it that you’re jealous?”

Zhang Wei walked towards Xia Qianyue with a smile, yet inwardly he murmured: I’ve always treated you like a dear girl.

“Wha…

what jealousy…” Silly’s gaze darted away as she lowered her head.

“Hahaha, I am so delighted that you can get jealous…”

Zhang Wei casually placed an arm over Xia Qianyue’s shoulder and drew her close to him.

“Let’s go, how about we go shopping next?

We still have half the day after the counseling session, and I’ll spend the day with you.”

“Really?”

“Of course, tonight we’ll find a self-serve kitchen and I will cook for you myself!”

“That’d be great, super…

”

“Then let’s do this, how about we check out the supermarket nearby?”

“Maybe not, I just went there with Yuzhu and the others…”

“Alright then, you pick the place, I’ll accompany you wherever.”

“Hmm, let me think, why don’t we go to…”

Seeing Xia Qianyue’s smile rekindled, Zhang Wei laughed heartily, wrapping her in his arms as they left the United Financial Building.

Xiao Baihe and Mo Yuzhu stood there stunned, completely perplexed.

That’s it?

It ended just like that?

Zhang Wei managed to soothe Xia Hanhan with just a few words?

An impending battle royale dissipated into nothing?

Indeed, Xia Qianyue wasn’t called Silly without reason.

Though she was astonishingly strong, her mind was exceptionally innocent.

Zhang Wei never intended to deceive her from the start; it is sincere words that often touch a person’s heart the most.

“What do I do now?

I feel like I’ve become a third wheel,” Xiao Baihe fell deep into self-doubt.

“Follow them, didn’t you hear?

Zhang Wei is going to cook, and I want to mooch a meal before heading back,” Mo Yuzhu said with a new-found simplicity.

“How did you become a glutton in your mourning?”

Watching Mo Yuzhu chase after them, Xiao Baihe stamped her foot and had no choice but to follow.

In the shopping district.

“Zhang Wei, that store looks nice, shall we try it out?”

“Sure thing.”

“Do you know how to shoot?

I want that cat plushie.”

“Leave it to me!”

“The claw machine looks awesome, and the dolls inside are so cute, can you help me get one?”

“With you putting it that way, how can I back down!”

“Hey, Silly, how about we go to the photo booth?

We’ve been having fun for a while, shouldn’t we keep some memories?”

“Since the beautiful princess has made such a request, how could the knight refuse?”

“Did you spout the same lines to that woman just now?”

“That was just rehearsal.

In fact, I’ve always been imagining it with you, and I never expected my dream to come true.”

“Zhang Wei, you’re so nice~”

Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue reenacted all the activities that Zhang Wei had just done with Jessica.

Behind them followed a duo that was third-wheeling the whole way.

“For the sake of a meal, I’ll pretend I saw nothing!”

Mo Yuzhu hypnotized herself, following them the entire time.

Xiao Baihe, on the other hand, found it quite dreary and was somewhat sour-faced.

Watching the inseparable couple in front of her, she felt a mix of emotions inside her.

So sour!

Just like eating a lemon!

The sour smell of romance really is so annoying; men really are no good!

Pah, scumbags!

After another two hours of shopping, this time Zhang Wei found a self-service kitchen and personally cooked a meal for Xia Qianyue and the two other ladies.

Of course, Xiao Baihe was somewhat resistant, since she had a very poor impression of Zhang Wei!

“I, Xiao Baihe, would rather starve to death, die out there, jump off the building at Downtown, than eat even a little bit of your food, Zhang Wei!”

A few minutes later, when the steaming hot, fragrant dishes were served, Xia Qianyue and the three ladies naturally tucked in heartily.

“Who would’ve thought, this guy looks like a scumbag, but his cooking skills are actually amazing!”

After trying a dish made by Zhang Wei, Xiao Baihe could only admit it was truly delicious~

“This food is amazing, with cooking skills like this, Zhang Wei, I’m tempted to steal Simple-minded person away from you.”

Mo Yuzhu was utterly enthralled and couldn’t help blurting out a comment.

The next moment, she felt three pairs of eyes staring at her.

“I was…

just kidding…”

For the first time, the goth girl showed a blushing face, bowed her head, and buried it in her chest.

Leaving aside Xiao Baihe and Mo Yuzhu, the relationship between Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue continued to heat up.

“Come, try this Mapo Tofu.”

“Zhang Wei, I want you to feed me, ah~”

“Here~”

“Mmm, so delicious~”

For Xia Qianyue, Zhang Wei’s cooking skills absolutely left Li Qinghua several streets behind.

Having gotten used to the meals made by Li Qinghua, tasting Zhang Wei’s cooking was like heavenly deliciousness for her.

Xia Qianyue was so immersed in the sumptuous food that she quickly forgot, just half a day earlier, she had been ready to murder.

Even Zhang Wei’s intimate actions with Jessica had been selectively forgotten by her.

It must be said, a man who can cook is definitely an ace up the sleeve, because one can conquer a woman’s heart with good food.

A potential murder intent was thus easily dissolved by Zhang Wei.

After having their fill, dusk approached.

“Yuzhu, Xiao Baihe, let’s hang out again next time!”

“Take care on the way~”

Xia Qianyue, Xiao Baihe, and Mo Yuzhu waved goodbye to each other, then went their separate ways.

As for Zhang Wei, he returned ahead of the others to prepare for his visit to Qingmu tomorrow.

Xia Qianyue was aware of this, so she did not stop him.

Even though Zhang Wei was not actually going to Qingmu, since it was an invitation from his auntie, it needed to be taken seriously.

Watching Xia Qianyue leave, Mo Yuzhu and Xiao Baihe exchanged a glance, both gently shaking their heads.

They could tell; Simple-minded person was completely under Zhang Wei’s thumb.

“Hmph, scumbag, liar, if it comes to court next time, I’ll make him pay!”

Xiao Baihe scoffed, still resentful towards Zhang Wei in her heart.

“Actually, I think Zhang Wei is not too bad, at least the food he makes is delicious.

I want to mooch off his meals again next time…”

Mo Yuzhu, on the side, patted her somewhat full stomach, looking back with fondness.

Zhang Wei’s cooking skills really were not bad; at least for those accustomed to eating takeout, it was truly heavenly deliciousness.

“My goodness, just for a meal and you’ve been bought over?”

Xiao Baihe inwardly judged her teammate for being unambitious, this goth girl seduced just for a bit of culinary delight?

“Do you know how rare it is for a man to be able to cook?

I want to find a husband who can cook in the future.

Actually, my requirements aren’t high, just a man who can breathe will do.” Mo Yuzhu giggled and also said her farewells to Xiao Baihe.

She had a delightful day today, but tomorrow she would have to return to the Martial Association and spend time with corpses in the morgue.

“Can breathe?”

Xiao Baihe watched Mo Yuzhu leave, then remembered her colleague’s job nature.
