Chapter 465: Chapter 465: I Am an Honest Person

Deng Yan put down the document, "You agreed to it?"

Cheng Qiaobei leaned against the chair back, looking relaxed, and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Your imagination is quite vivid."

Deng Yan sighed quietly, "Neither agreed nor refused?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I refused; otherwise, I would’ve signed it."

Deng Yan was puzzled, "Then what’s with this authorization letter?"

Cheng Qiaobei took it, casually slipped it into a pile of documents on the shelf, "Keep it for emergencies."

Deng Yan nodded knowingly, "There’s quite a lot of issues within the group right now."

Cheng Qiaobei asked him, "Have you finished organizing the data I asked you to last time?"

Deng Yan recalled, "Just finished organizing it; haven’t printed it out from the computer yet."

"Bring it and let me have a look."

Deng Yan returned with the printed materials and handed them to Cheng Qiaobei, "Nothing more for you now, go get busy, and please close the door for me."

Cheng Qiaobei spent the morning thoroughly reviewing the company’s current performance and related data. Based on the current performance, there’s a high chance of winning the bet-on agreement.

Yet he still drafted a detailed report on the matters and risk assessments in the bet-on agreement. The phrase "Great matters are not to be rushed" lingered in his mind. This was a decision concerning one’s lifestyle, not to be underestimated.

Although the capital infusion from the bet-on agreement would lead to qualitative leaps for the company, the corresponding risks would considerably increase as well. If the later interests distribution required by the agreement can’t be met, he would end up with nothing.

Chen Ningxi noticed him busy at the computer lately, carrying a bowl of washed strawberries to the desk and placed it down, "Go to bed early tonight, you’ve been staying up too late recently."

Cheng Qiaobei glanced at the fruit plate of strawberries, "Are these bought by Mr. Zou?"

"Yes." She fed him one, and Cheng Qiaobei said while chewing, "Not finished yet?"

Chen Ningxi said, "These are the last ones."

Cheng Qiaobei replied, "I’ve added the plantation base’s WeChat, I can order them whenever I want."

"No thanks, we’ve been eating them every day lately, I’m filled," Chen Ningxi talked about serious matters, "Siluo’s verdict came down."

Cheng Qiaobei was still staring at the screen, unsurprised, "How many years?"

Chen Ningxi replied, "Considering her good attitude in admitting guilt and her breastfeeding period, she got one year suspended for two, along with a fine."

Cheng Qiaobei squinted, "She got off easy."

Chen Ningxi thought about her still needing to take care of her young child; irrespective of the adult grievances, the child is still young; if an actual sentence were handed down, what would happen to the child?

She said, "It’s alright."

Cheng Qiaobei understood that she felt sorry for Cheng Siluo’s child, "If she truly considered her child, she wouldn’t have made foolish choices."

Chen Ningxi fed him another, "Everyone can make wrong choices."

Cheng Qiaobei stopped working, "Speaking of which, it reminds me of someone who never made wrong choices."

Chen Ningxi looked at him curiously, "Who?"

Cheng Qiaobei laughed, "You."

Chen Ningxi squinted at him teasingly, turned away, and ate a strawberry, "I’ve had my moments of mistakes too."

"Hmm...what’s that supposed to mean?" Cheng Qiaobei pulled her hand over, smiling intriguingly, "Come here, tell me more."

Chen Ningxi sat on his lap, naturally hooking her arms around his neck, looked into Cheng Qiaobei’s eyes, and said, "You, you’re the path I took wrongly."

If she had followed her parents’ wishes, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with Cheng Qiaobei. Regardless of the initial calculations or his original family, it didn’t align with her criteria for mate selection.

Yet fate happened like this, allowing her to abandon all requirements she had set.

Cheng Qiaobei asked, "How’s the scenery on my wrong path?"

Chen Ningxi replied, "Very beautiful."

Cheng Qiaobei nodded, "So, the predetermined path might not have beautiful scenery. Taking a risk once in a while, you might see scenery others haven’t."

Chen Ningxi said, "You’re never sparing with words when praising yourself."

Cheng Qiaobei smirked, "I consider myself an honest person."

"Wait, what kind of person are you?" Chen Ningxi raised an eyebrow.

Cheng Qiaobei repeated, "Honest."

"Ha ha."

"What kind of reaction is that?"

Chen Ningxi laughed, "I’ve been deceived by you so many times, and you have the nerve to say you’re honest?"

"Hey," Cheng Qiaobei pinched her waist lightly, "One doesn’t strike at the face, especially when I’m this handsome; you really dare to point out my shortcomings?"

Chen Ningxi, being ticklish, dodged his hand, saying, "Another thing, I’ve scheduled a visit next week for the IVF procedure."

Cheng Qiaobei had been so busy, he forgot about this matter.

He asked seriously, "You’ve thought it through?"

Chen Ningxi nodded, "I’ve considered it carefully."

"Really not waiting?" Cheng Qiaobei asked, "We’ve only been on the herbal medicine for a few months. How about waiting a bit longer?"

Chen Ningxi was resolute, "No, I’ll be twenty-eight after the new year; the older you get, the worse your health becomes. Better to do it early; the success rate will be higher."

Since she’d made up her mind, Cheng Qiaobei could only support her.

"Have you told your parents?"

Chen Ningxi said, "I told them today during the day over the phone."

"They all agreed?"

Chen Ningxi said, "Yes, they agreed."

"Alright then,"

"Go early and get all necessary checks done before deciding the plan."

"It’s not early; let’s sleep," Cheng Qiaobei saved the document, closed the notebook, and carried her towards the bedroom. Chen Ningxi quickly said, "The doctor advised against... for one week before IVF."

Cheng Qiaobei looked down at her, "Haha, can’t I just want you to go to bed early healthily?"

Chen Ningxi: "..."

Cheng Qiaobei laid her on the bed, touched her forehead gently, and said helplessly, "What kind of person have you mistaken me for? I’m concerned about your health state for the check-up and yet you misunderstood me."

Chen Ningxi laughed, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

"I can endure anything but can’t stand grievances, what should we do then," Cheng Qiaobei supported himself with both hands on either side of her head, looking down at her, then slowly lowered himself to kiss her lips which was blocked by Chen Ningxi’s hand, "No, it’s sleep time."

"Let me kiss you before sleep," Cheng Qiaobei removed her hand, but Chen Ningxi covered it again, "No, you have a tendency to cross boundaries too easily. Better just sleep obediently."

Cheng Qiaobei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, a week, a whole week, it really is torturous.

A week later, Chen Ningxi accompanied by Cheng Qiaobei arrived at the hospital for a full-body check-up.

Almost noon, but the check-up wasn’t completed; Chen Ningxi sat on a bench in the hospital corridor waiting for her turn, while Cheng Qiaobei came back from a phone call.

"How many people ahead?" Cheng Qiaobei asked.

Chen Ningxi said, "Just one more."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Lean on me and rest for a bit, I’ll call you when it’s your turn."

Having to get her blood tested, she hadn’t eaten anything thus far, feeling a bit dizzy, possibly low blood sugar.

"Qiaobei, can you get me some fruit candies; my head feels a bit dizzy."
