She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 744

Nannan has always liked Zhou Hanzhi. Just now she was whispering in my ear that it was a pity that she couldn't hug Uncle Zhou this time. Now she looked at Zhou Hanzhi and actually jumped down from Mrs. Zhang's arms and ran straight to Zhou Hanzhi: "Uncle Zhou!"

The smile on Zhou Hanzhi's lips became more gentle. He stretched out his long arms and pulled Nannan into his arms: "Nannan, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Yes, I haven't seen Uncle Zhou for a long time, but Uncle Zhou seems to have lost weight. Xuxu said that Uncle Zhou is very busy at work. Uncle Zhou, is it because you are too busy that you don't eat and sleep well?" I always feel that Nannan is becoming more and more relaxed in front of Zhou Hanzhi. Nannan didn't say a word just now, but now that she is in Zhou Hanzhi's arms, she talks a lot.

He called him Uncle Zhou all the time, so affectionately.

But when I looked at their intimacy and heard Nannan calling Zhou Hanzhi so affectionately, my heart tightened again. It felt like a ball of wet cotton was blocking my chest. I couldn't breathe, and it felt damp and cold. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou. Actually, Nannan shouldn’t call him Uncle Zhou, but should call him…

Meng Nanxu, what are you thinking about?

These things are taboos and are secrets that must never be told to anyone. Those two words are the names that Nannan will never call Zhou Hanzhi out loud!

You are confused! Wake up!

I suddenly came to my senses, lowered my eyes, and cursed myself in my heart. I tried my best to be sober, rational, and restrained, and to put aside all distracting thoughts.

When I looked up again, my mood was like the surface of a lake in winter, slowly calming down and quickly freezing into tranquility.

Zhou Hanzhi's eyebrows were covered with a layer of tenderness and doting. He first looked up at me. His pair of dark eyes, which were usually cold and indifferent, were now full of tenderness. He lowered his head again and gently stroked Nannan's cheek with his fingertips. He even spoke in Nannan's tone: "Uncle Zhou is indeed too busy recently. Nannan is worried, but I will eat well and sleep well in the future."

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, you have to be good. Let's make a pinky promise." Nannan nodded, but still looked a little worried and stretched out her little finger.

Zhou Hanzhi's lips were filled with more doting. He also stretched out his little finger, hooked it with Nannan's little finger, and smiled as he made a promise: "Pin it together and don't change it for a hundred years."

At the end of the conversation, the two people's gazes shifted from their held hands to each other's faces, and smiles broke out on both faces, one big and one small.

The man is tall and slender in a suit and tie, and the little girl is petite and cute in a pink gauze dress. She sits on his lap, he lowers his head and she raises her head. They have similar faces and similar smiles, which is so harmonious and warm.

But when I looked at such a harmonious and warm picture, I just felt a sourness in my throat, and that ball of wet and cold cotton almost suffocated me.

I couldn't hold myself back any longer, so I took a step forward and spoke softly, "Nannan, come on, Uncle Zhou has other things to deal with, so let's not delay him, okay? Didn't you just say you were sleepy and wanted to sleep? Come here, Xuxu, I'll take you to the second floor to rest."

I've said before that Nannan has always been a very sensible and well-behaved child, so even though she still felt reluctant to leave Zhou Hanzhi, she still slid off his lap obediently and waved her little hand to say goodbye to him: "Then I'll go first, Uncle Zhou. See you next time, Uncle Zhou."

"...Goodbye, Nannan." Zhou Hanzhi's eyes were filled with reluctance, but he did not try to keep her. He just nodded and said goodbye.

Goodbye? Will they have a chance to see each other again?

I don't know. I only know that before my plan is completed, I will try my best to reduce the chances of Nannan and Zhou Hanzhi meeting each other, and after my plan is completed...

At that time, Zhou Hanzhi and I would most likely become complete enemies. At that time, he would no longer want to see me, nor would he want to see Nannan.

They won't have many opportunities to meet each other in the future.

But it’s better this way. Instead of giving hope and then watching it being extinguished, it’s better not to have any expectations from the beginning.

I took another step forward and took Nannan's hand: "Nannan, let's go."

"Nannan is such a cute child, and she is so well-educated. You can tell at a glance that she was taught by Xuxu." From the moment she saw Nannan, Shen Hualan's eyes were always on her, but she just watched quietly without saying much.

It was not until this moment when Nannan was about to leave that Shen Hualan asked, "Nannan, can I hug you?"

Shen Hualan has never been someone who likes children.

At the beginning, she tried every means to get close to Zhou Hanzhi's father, Zhou Wenjian, in order to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife. She was a person who loved leisure and hated work. Being a rich wife and getting things done once and for all was the best life she dreamed of. However, her family background and personal conditions were limited. Under normal circumstances, she could not enter a family like the Zhou family.

So she chose a shortcut: getting pregnant.

She wanted to use the baby in her belly as a bargaining chip to join the Zhou family, but she didn't expect Zhou Wenjian to be a ruthless man. He forced her to have an abortion, so that she ran away everywhere. After giving birth to Zhou Hanzhi, she not only had no money, but also was worried that she would be found by Zhou Wenjian.

Therefore, Zhou Hanzhi was not loved since he was born. Shen Hualan had resentment towards him for a long time, thinking that without him, she could at least live a good life with Zhou Wenjian.

Because of this reason, Shen Hualan also disliked children. She even hated them. Whenever she saw a child, she wanted to stay away from them for fear that they would dirty her luxurious clothes and bags.

I knew all of this very well, so when I heard Shen Hualan praising Nannan, I was very surprised. When I heard her take the initiative to ask to hug Nannan, I was stunned.

Why does she want to hug Nannan?

It was the first time she met Nannan, so she definitely had no feelings for her. She was not someone who liked children. Even if she thought Nannan was cute and well-behaved, she would not reach out to hug her.

At this time, Nannan had stopped. She looked at Shen Hualan, then looked at me, asking for my opinion with her eyes.

I'm in a dilemma and don't know how to deal with it.

"Hey, is this little girl really adopted?" At this moment, a curious voice suddenly interrupted and broke the deadlock.

I looked up and saw a pretty girl. Judging from her dress, she looked like the daughter of some wealthy family.

She opened her big, puzzled eyes and looked back and forth between my face and Nannan's. Then she suddenly laughed and said, "I feel like this child is not adopted, but my sister's biological child."

Boom!

There was a loud explosion in my head, and then everything went blank. My fingers suddenly clenched, and the pain of my nails digging into my palms barely kept me from collapsing.

What I was most worried about happened.

But, it's worse.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the girl continued, "Moreover, this child looks like the one born to my sister and Mr. Zhou."
