Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 408 Female Technician

Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Female Technician

At this moment, only Cheng Qiaobei and Deng Yan were left in the smoking area, so there was no need to be overly cautious in their conversation.

Cheng Qiaobei: "You go to the private investigation company and see what kind of trouble she’s stirring up again."

Based on Cheng Siluo’s previous behavior, seeing the rapid growth of Eastern First-class, she wouldn’t sit back quietly and do nothing.

Deng Yan nodded, "Understood. However, we also need to be on guard against others."

In an industry, when you suddenly rise, you inadvertently become the target for everyone, and Cheng Qiaobei was aware of this truth.

Cheng Qiaobei flicked the ash off his cigarette, preparing for unforeseen events: "Recently, there will definitely be an incident targeting our chain hotels, notify all chain hotels to strictly implement company management regulations and service procedures, do not harbor any luck, the headquarters will send special staff to inspect, any problems found will be dealt with in the strictest manner."

Deng Yan understood that when he mentioned the strictest manner, it was no joke, "I’ll send out the notification immediately."

The two chatted for a while longer, but the entrance of three or four others into the smoking area forced their conversation to pause.

Cheng Qiaobei returned to the Mugwort Pool, seeing Chen Ningxi dozing off by the poolside. He quietly entered the water, but the sound woke her.

Chen Ningxi opened her eyes, wiping sweat from her forehead. Her cheeks had turned a tender, crabapple color, looking irresistibly soft and cute.

Cheng Qiaobei sat next to her, lifted her wet hair from her ear and gently massaged along her earlobe, a burning gaze growing in his eyes as he said meaningfully:

"Isn’t it strange, I feel like I can never get enough of looking at you."

The atmosphere was heating up, and both mature individuals were very sensitive. Chen Ningxi grabbed his hand, "There are so many people here, what are you up to?"

Cheng Qiaobei’s lips curled into a teasing arc, continuing to play with her hair with his fingertips, "What are you worried about, what could I do?"

He simply noticed Chen Ningxi was overly exhausted lately and was helping her relieve the pressure on her cervical spine.

Chen Ningxi closed her eyes and said, "My mom just messaged me; I need to go to Shanghai ahead of time. The doctor I registered with is going out of town for a seminar and won’t be back for half a month."

Cheng Qiaobei reached for his phone, "I’ll reschedule the flight."

"Qiaobei," Chen Ningxi grabbed his hand, "Don’t come on this trip. There’s plenty to do at the company, and they can’t do without you. It won’t take me more than a few days to check up, and with my mom there, you don’t need to worry."

But Cheng Qiaobei replied: "The time when the company needed me most has passed; now you need me more, and since you said it wouldn’t take long, I wouldn’t feel assured not accompanying you."

She could only watch as Cheng Qiaobei rescheduled his flight.

"Sister-in-law," Wei Lai walked over, "We’re going for a SPA, do you want to join?"

The hand behind her neck gave a gentle squeeze, and Chen Ningxi heard him say: "Go ahead."

Chen Ningxi stood up from the water, her fair legs passing by Cheng Qiaobei’s eyes; he realized he’d better leave more marks on her next time.

Who says love is free, Cheng Qiaobei didn’t want even a single strand of her hair seen by other men.

Before the SPA, Wei Lai suddenly remembered that Chen Ningxi was pregnant.

Wei Lai communicated with the therapist, "Is it okay for pregnant women?"

The therapist smiled and shook her head, "This essential oil is not recommended."

Chen Ningxi was surprised, "Are you pregnant?"

Wei Lai widened her eyes, "No, isn’t it you? I saw you getting sick in the service area..."

This misunderstanding had blown up.

Chen Ningxi laughed: "You misunderstood, I just get motion sickness."

Wei Lai felt embarrassed, "I even told Deng Yan that you and Cheng are keeping it a secret because it’s still early."

"If there was good news, I would definitely tell you all." Chen Ningxi lay back on the bed, "Let’s begin."

Chen Ningxi chose a women’s wellness treatment, and the therapist softly introduced the benefits of the essential oils for women’s ovaries. On any other day, she might have dozed off, but today she listened intently.

After the treatment, they agreed to meet in the lobby.

The first ones out went upstairs to change clothes, and Zhou Chong came over, "Cheng and Deng Yan ran into an acquaintance inside, they’ll be out after chatting for a while."

Chen Ningxi and Wei Lai continued to wait in the lobby.

A young mother carrying a child came out, and seeing the kid’s adorable look, Chen Ningxi took an extra glance.

Wei Lai noticed her gaze and laughed, "Sister-in-law, if you love kids so much, you and Cheng should hurry and have one."

Chen Ningxi tucked her hair, "No, we’re not in a hurry. His company is just getting started, and there’s a lot going on at my workplace, so we’ll wait a bit."

Wei Lai didn’t think much of it, "I also told Deng Yan, who wants kids right after getting married, let’s enjoy a few years as a couple first."

Back then, Chen Ningxi thought the same, but now wanting one wasn’t something she could decide.

"Wei Lai," Chen Ningxi said wistfully, "Have kids early if you can."

Wei Lai didn’t notice the sadness on Chen Ningxi’s face, her gaze fixed on the men’s changing room exit, "You advise me, why don’t you have a little Cheng for us to see? Given Cheng’s demeanor as a ’wife-loving fanatic’, he’d surely pamper the child too."

Chen Ningxi’s expression froze slightly but quickly returned to normal, "Kids, it’s all up to fate."

Cheng Qiaobei walked out of the changing room and waved to the two in the rest area, beckoning them over.

"Cheng, where’s Deng Yan?"

Cheng Qiaobei replied, "Deng Yan is chatting with the female therapist."

Wei Lai frowned, "Cheng, that’s not cool of you."

Cheng Qiaobei laughed and pulled Chen Ningxi’s hand, "Don’t believe me? Check if he’s added the therapist on WeChat to find out."

Chen Ningxi said, "Don’t listen to him tease. He just likes to joke around."

The two entered the elevator, and Deng Yan finally came out of the changing room.

While walking, he fiddled with his phone, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.

Such an expression appearing on Deng Yan’s face was very unusual.

Suddenly, his hand was empty. Deng Yan looked up to see Wei Lai standing in front of him, and he looked bewildered, "Were you waiting for me the whole time?"

Wei Lai didn’t have time for him, directly opening WeChat to look at recently added friends, indeed finding a woman’s profile picture among the new additions.

"Who is this?" Wei Lai asked.

Deng Yan said, "The therapist just now."

Wei Lai ground her teeth, "Why did you add her?"

Deng Yan explained, "Her family used to run a B&B; her parents passed away unexpectedly, so she came out to work. Earlier, Cheng asked about the city and location of the B&B, decided to invite her to join forces, asked me to add her on WeChat to coordinate the follow-up work."

Wei Lai: "..."

Deng Yan understood then, speaking in exasperation, "Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to hit on a woman in front of everyone."

Wei Lai said: "It’s not my fault, Cheng said you were inside chatting with the female therapist."

Deng Yan: "We were indeed chatting, but only about work matters."

Wei Lai handed the phone back to Deng Yan, who shook his head helplessly, "Cheng’s words, and you believe them."

In the evening, they lit a bonfire on the beach, with barbecue amidst an exceptionally lively atmosphere.

Due to the "false alarm" situation, Cheng Qiaobei was penalized as the grill master, serving everyone throughout the evening.

Chen Ningxi wanted to go over and keep him company, but Wei Lai held her back, eyeing the people by the grill, saying, "Sister-in-law, don’t go over to him."

After rounds of drinks, Chen Ningxi came to Cheng Qiaobei’s side, smiling, "Are you satisfied now?"

Cheng Qiaobei smiled, handing a freshly grilled beef skewer to Chen Ningxi, "I dare not next time. Try it, see if it’s good."

Chen Ningxi took a bite of the beef, chewing as she said, "Everywhere you go, you bring your business acumen, even knowing what the therapist’s family does, if you didn’t make money, it would defy reason."

Cheng Qiaobei was about to grin and accept her compliment, but couldn’t smile at her following words.

Chen Ningxi continued, "You seem to enjoy chatting with female therapists, having rather in-depth conversations."

Cheng Qiaobei: "..."
