Chapter 165 How to Pursue Her? Song Ni directly hung up the phone, and she was angry again. What did Tan Zheng mean by that? Was she the one who had been trying to seduce him before? Although it was true, how could he say it with such a smug look? Even if she seduced him first, could he have enjoyed her affection with a clear conscience? Didn't she deserve to be pursued by him? Why? She had rejected so many suitors since she was a child, so why wasn't she pursued when she was with Tan Zheng? The more Song Ni thought about it, the angrier she became, and she initiated the couple's second cold war. Tan Zheng's calls went unanswered, and his messages were not replied to, but he was not blocked again. For the first time, Tan Zheng felt a bit bewildered, completely unaware of what Song Ni was angry about. Su Qing had seen Tan Zheng checking his phone most of the time these past few days, whether he was walking, sitting in the car, or even in meetings. Su Qing had no intention of prying, as it was taboo for an assistant to be curious about her superior's private affairs. However, after two days of Tan Zheng's continued state, she finally couldn't help but ask him, "Do women always get angry for no reason?" "..." Su Qing finally understood. Mr. Tan was having trouble with his wife again. It made sense, as apart from his wife, who else could have the ability to trouble Mr. Tan so much? However, she was becoming increasingly curious about what kind of extraordinary woman his wife was to give Mr. Tan such a headache. "Mr. Tan, we women are also reasonable. Anger always has a reason. It could be a big thing or a small thing." Su Qing knew her boundaries as an assistant and did not inquire further about what had happened, but rather tried to explain to Mr. Tan the possible reasons for a woman's anger. "What you consider impossible things might just be the very points of anger for Madam." Tan Zheng carefully recalled his conversation with Song Ni that evening. It was after he said that Song Ni had come to seduce him first that Song Ni directly hung up the phone. The man frowned, wondering if Song Ni was angry because of this sentence. But wasn't it the truth? Based on his understanding of Song Ni, she shouldn't have been so angry about this sentence. Tan Zheng selected Song Ni's chat window and sent her a cute emoji he had found from his friends' group chat. "I was wrong.jpg" "Talk to me.jpg" "Baby, you have to let me know what you're angry about so I can change." "Wife? Sweetie?" "..." Tan Zheng sent nearly ten messages without receiving any reply from Song Ni. He called her directly, but this time he only heard, "The number you have dialed is switched off." Had he been blocked again? It shouldn't be. Song Ni was thorough in everything she did. If she blocked his phone, why not block his WeChat? Su Qing looked at Tan Zheng's troubled expression, furrowed brows, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look too much. Knowing too much could bring trouble. After standing there for a few minutes, Tan Zheng finally spoke, "Let's get off work." It was only six o'clock, and Su Qing was stunned. Leaving work so early was truly unprecedented. Tan Zheng had no mood to explain. He stood up, put on his coat, and left the company directly. Su Qing: ...... Heroes are no match for beauties. When will Madam return? She really wanted to see what kind of divine being Madam was. Tan Zheng went directly to a bar and called Lu Fang and Tang Qinyun over. As soon as Lu Fang and Tang Qinyun arrived one after another, Tan Zheng spoke directly, "Ni Ni is angry." Lu Fang: ? ? ? ? ? Tang Qinyun: ? ? ? ? ? "So Mr. Tan called us over for this? If Ni Ni is angry, just go and appease her." Tang Qinyun's lips curved into an annoying smile, as if he found Tan Zheng's predicament somewhat novel. Lu Fang, having been tormented by Tan Zheng lately, desperately needed to curry favor with him and appeared exceptionally eager. "If Sister-in-law is angry, you must appease her immediately. There can be no delay. No matter what, admitting fault first is never wrong." Tan Zheng frowned, thinking Lu Fang's words were utter nonsense. Hadn't he tried to appease her? He had even apologized first. "I don't even know what she's angry about." Hearing this, Lu Fang and Tang Qinyun exchanged glances. Tang Qinyun asked someone to bring over food and drinks. He took a slow sip of wine and, as a seasoned player of love, he understood women. "So, Ni Ni isn't telling you why she's angry, nor is she responding to you?" Tan Zheng shot him a look and said nothing, just drank his wine dejectedly. Seeing him like this, Tang Qinyun knew he had guessed correctly. He then collapsed on the sofa and laughed heartily. "Hahaha, Tan Zheng, you have moments like these too. Ni Ni did a great job!" Tan Zheng: ...... He kicked him. "I didn't call you here to laugh." Tang Qinyun couldn't stop laughing. Although Lu Fang had limited experience, he was in the entertainment industry. "What were you talking about before?" Tan Zheng's brow furrowed. It was embarrassing enough to call them over for advice. Tang Qinyun sat up, his laughter subsiding a bit. "If you don't tell us, how can we know why Ni Ni is angry? We're not deities." Tan Zheng pursed his lips, remained silent for a while, and finally recounted the conversation from that evening's video call. After listening, Tang Qinyun laughed even harder. "Holy crap, hahahaha, Tan Zheng, how dare you say something like that? How come Ni Ni didn't block you?" With Ni Ni's proud personality, Tan Zheng actually said that Ni Ni came to seduce him first? Was he shameless? Even if it were true, Tan Zheng shouldn't have said it. Ni Ni was very concerned about her reputation and always hated being at a disadvantage. Tan Zheng's words, in essence, meant that Ni Ni was the one who fell in love first in their relationship. Since ancient times, the one who fell in love first was in a passive position. Would Song Ni admit to being in a passive position? She wouldn't. Tang Qinyun's laughter was too harsh, and Tan Zheng kicked him again. "Laugh again and I'll throw you out." Tang Qinyun tried hard to suppress it, even biting his hand, but his shoulders still trembled uncontrollably. Tan Zheng: ..... Damn it. He must have been out of his mind to ask these two people. Lu Fang also wanted to laugh, but he needed Tan Zheng's favor right now and had to suppress his amusement. "I think I might know why Sister-in-law is angry." Hearing this, Tan Zheng looked up at him with a sharp gaze. Lu Fang leisurely swirled his wine glass. "Brother Tan, that project in Nancheng..." Tan Zheng's eyes were fierce. "Speak." Lu Fang immediately put down his wine glass and began to analyze. "Didn't Sister-in-law say you never pursued her? Today's young girls value the sense of ritual. You met through a blind date, got married soon after, and naturally got together, essentially getting married and then developing feelings." "The process itself is flawed. Generally, people date before they get married." "What is the first step in dating? It's for one party to pursue the other." "Brother Tan, I think you can't skip this step just because you got married directly. Sister-in-law is still young and might want to experience the feeling of dating." Tan Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is that what happened?" Tang Qinyun finally finished laughing and stood up, patting Tan Zheng's shoulder. "That's exactly it. Ni Ni is a stubborn girl. She might not have thought it mattered at first, but now that you've talked about pursuing someone, she definitely thinks it matters." Tan Zheng slapped Tang Qinyun's hand away. "So, how do I pursue her?" (End of this chapter)
