The car finally stopped at the entrance of a luxurious villa.
As soon as Xiao Zheng and the two others got out, a large group of people ca over with fawning smiles to greet them.
"This must be Mr. ... Xiao, right? We’ve heard so much about you. Your visit to our ho is truly an honor for us!"
A middle-aged man was the first to speak, his eyes all on Xiao Zheng.
He initially wanted to call him Evil God, but suddenly thought it was inappropriate and changed it to Mr. Xiao.
Xiao Zheng was not unfamiliar with this title, as many people addressed him this way.
Following the middle-aged man’s lead, the family mbers who ca with him all respectfully greeted Xiao Zheng. This scene made Su Ziwen, standing aside, quite envious.
However, Xiao Zheng didn’t think much of it. He just nodded slightly in response to the family.
Then he turned to look at the Su siblings and said, "You two just stay here for these days. Once I’m done with my errands, I’ll co back to pick you up."
"Brother Xiao, you must co pick us up!" Su Ziwen said.
Xiao Zheng nodded, then was about to leave.
But at this mont, Su Zimo suddenly called out, "Brother Xiao, wait a mont."
"What’s the matter? Is there anything else?" Xiao Zheng turned back curiously.
But he was soon stunned, as Su Zimo suddenly walked over, quickly stood on tiptoes, and kissed him on the cheek.
Witnessing this scene, everyone, including Su Ziwen, widened their eyes!
Xiao Zheng was also taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "Miss Su, what are you doing? Didn’t we agree that without my permission, you wouldn’t take advantage of ?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo blushed slightly, mustered her courage, and said, "Brother Xiao, don’t misunderstand. I just wanted to thank you for what happened last night..."
Her voice got quieter and quieter until it was inaudible.
Xiao Zheng sighed helplessly, then lightly flicked her forehead with his finger: "Stay here with your brother and don’t run around. Call if anything cos up."
After speaking, he turned and left.
The slightly intimate actions between the two made those around them start to speculate.
The villa owner was convinced that Su Zimo had a relationship with Xiao Zheng and that it was quite significant. He had already decided to take the opportunity while the Su siblings were staying at his place to curry favor with them, hoping to leave a good impression on Xiao Zheng...
Xiao Zheng, of course, had no idea about the misunderstanding that his little gesture had caused in everyone’s minds.
After driving away from Tianxiang Courtyard, he headed to his company.
Upon taking the elevator up to the top floor, Xiao Zheng went straight to Leng Ruobing’s office.
He pushed open the door and found her indeed inside, reviewing docunts.
"You ca."
Leng Ruobing spoke without lifting her head.
It was as if she had a sixth sense and didn’t need to see to know it was Xiao Zheng who had entered.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I knew you weren’t at ho, so I ca straight to the office. Didn’t we agree that after finishing work yesterday, you’d rest at ho today?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruobing closed the docunt and smiled, "You can take it easy, but I can’t. Recently, the company signed several large orders with foreign consortia, and I have to keep a close watch."
"If anything goes wrong halfway, we’ll suffer a huge loss."
Xiao Zheng blushed rare for a mont and then said, "By the way, in a few days, I’m planning to go to Jiangnan Province. I promised two friends to help them with sothing."
Leng Ruobing nodded and said, "I know. Those two friends must be the Su siblings, right?"
"Huh? How do you know that?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.
Leng Ruobing shook her head and said helplessly, "The noise you made at the club last night was so big, I couldn’t not know. And this morning, Long Qie called ."
"So it was that kid who spilled the beans." Xiao Zheng chuckled, though no one knew what he was thinking.
Leng Ruobing looked at him and asked, "Are you really planning to help the Su siblings deal with the Lu Family? I’ve heard that the Lu Family is quite peculiar. Don’t end up with nothing but trouble for yourself."
Xiao Zheng noticed the aning in her words and said with a smile, "Don’t misunderstand. My relationship with that Su lady is absolutely pure. The reason I helped them yesterday was just because that Lu guy was too arrogant."
Leng Ruobing replied with just a smile at him.
It was obvious that she didn’t believe Xiao Zheng’s explanation.
"Why is it that when I tell the truth, no one believes ?" Xiao Zheng sighed, "Is it because I look good that I have to endure such misunderstandings?"
Leng Ruobing, already used to his nonsense, asked, "Are you really planning to go to Jiangnan Province?"
"Yes, I’ve already promised the siblings, and you wouldn’t want to break my word, right?" Xiao Zheng said, "Don’t worry, I’ll wait until Xiao Ran moves in before going to Jiangnan Province. I don’t want you to be ho alone without soone to look after you."
"Besides, Jiangnan Province isn’t far from here; I’ll be back in three days at most."
"Do you plan to take Long Qie and the others with you?" Leng Ruobing asked softly, "The Lu Family isn’t as easy to deal with as you think."
Feeling her concern, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "No need. Taking too many people would be a burden. Besides, they should stay in place at the Sky Net headquarters. It’s better to keep them here. Taking on the Lu Family myself is already a great acknowledgnt of their worth."
"No matter how deep the Lu Family hides, they’re not more formidable than the Great Sound Buddha Sect, right?"
Hearing this, Leng Ruobing nodded and said, "Just handle it yourself, be careful not to act recklessly like before. You know, I’m... waiting for you at ho with the child."
As she said the last sentence, her cheeks turned rosy red.
After all, Leng Ruobing’s character is different from Chu Xiaoran and Mo Anna. Being able to say such things was already quite a challenge for her.
Xiao Zheng was touched, nodding as he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious. You carry on with your work; I’m heading back to the office. I’ll pick you up after work, and we can go ho together."
Leng Ruobing’s face lit up with a charming smile.
