Chapter 484: Unspeakable Little Secret

Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Unspeakable Little Secret

Chen Ningxi sat in the passenger seat, Cheng Qiaobei turned his face, "Hello, I am your happy driver Cheng. May I have the last digits of your phone number?"

"...Starting the act again?" Chen Ningxi looked at him.

Cheng Qiaobei stifled a laugh, "Last digits, right? Without verifying the digits, I can’t drive."

When he decided to act childish, no kid under three could compete.

Chen Ningxi had no choice but to give her phone’s last digits, ending up with Cheng Qiaobei acting again.

"Please fasten your seatbelt."

Chen Ningxi pulled on the seatbelt across her chest and said helplessly, "I fastened it as soon as I got in."

"Good citizen." Cheng Qiaobei gave her a thumbs up in praise, leaned over close to Chen Ningxi and said, "Driving deserves some perks."

Chen Ningxi squinted at him and asked, "What perk do you want?"

"Playing dumb aren’t you," Cheng Qiaobei was just about to speak when Chen Ningxi interrupted, saying, "How about this, my husband’s not home, and you can come to my place to discuss the perks you want."

"Going to your place... What’s there at your place?" Cheng Qiaobei pursed his lips, trying to suppress a grin harder than holding back an AK.

Chen Ningxi deliberately dragged a finger over his Adam’s apple, her gaze teasing, "Of course some unspeakable little secrets, so can we drive now?"

Cheng Qiaobei couldn’t hold back his laughter, "Yes, definitely yes."

On the road, Chen Ningxi received several calls, all related to work.

When she finally put down the phone, Cheng Qiaobei said, "Contacting you even after work hours, they can’t give you more rest."

Chen Ningxi replied, "They aren’t ones to procrastinate. If they call me, they genuinely can’t handle it."

When the car was parked, Cheng Qiaobei went to the back to get the suitcase, and Chen Ningxi realized that he hadn’t gone home but went straight to pick her up from work.

As they walked into the elevator, Chen Ningxi asked, "Weren’t you going to be back in three days, why did it take a few more days?"

Not mentioning was fine, but bringing it up made Cheng Qiaobei have a headache.

"It was supposed to end in three days but two chain hotels were added at the last minute."

Ding, the elevator doors opened, and he held her hand, guiding her out.

At night, Cheng Qiaobei was showering in the bathroom while Chen Ningxi stood before the dressing mirror, examining her lower abdomen carefully.

Hopefully, this time she could conceive successfully.

The sound of water abruptly stopped; Cheng Qiaobei walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

He stood behind Chen Ningxi, gently nudging the woman’s rounded shoulder to expose it, then lowered his head and lightly bit her shoulder.

"Ouch..." Chen Ningxi yelped unprepared, feeling the bite.

Cheng Qiaobei hugged her, satisfied, saying, "It still feels best holding you."

Looking at the makeup mirror, Chen Ningxi asked, "What do you mean? It feels good holding me? You’ve held someone else?"

Cheng Qiaobei froze in his motion, "I haven’t held anyone else, I was just lamenting, my main thought was expressing how much I miss you."

Chen Ningxi yawned, saying, "Enough, let’s sleep, tomorrow I need to attend the city’s meeting on time."

In bed, the two embraced each other, resting in a familiar hold, and Chen Ningxi fell asleep faster than usual, feeling more peaceful.

The next morning, Cheng Qiaobei dropped her off at work and headed to his company.

Just entering the office building, he saw a familiar figure, Cheng Qiaobei’s glance moved straight past the person, focusing on the elevator ahead.

At this moment, the peak time for work arrivals, a crowd was gathered at the elevator entrance.

Cheng Qiaobei headed towards the elevator but was blocked by the person, Cheng Qiaobei asked:

"Are you looking for me?"

Chen Qian nodded, "The company is currently having a tough time, the boss asked me to see if you could give him a hand."

Cheng Qiaobei’s gaze deepened, "Go back and tell him that pleading shouldn’t have this attitude."

With that said, Cheng Qiaobei skirted around him and entered the elevator.

Chen Qian watched the elevator doors close; inside was packed tight, one more person would trigger an alarm.

Cheng Qiaobei walked into the company, Wei Lai met him with a stack of documents needing signatures following him into the office.

"Cheng, these documents need to be signed today; it’s urgent."

Cheng Qiaobei felt pained looking at the mountain of documents piled on the table, saying, "You’re pregnant, don’t bring so many documents."

Wei Lai said, "It’s still early, I’m okay."

Cheng Qiaobei frowned, "I mean there are too many documents; it’s tiring for me to sign them."

Wei Lai: "These are urgent, and there’s another pile not so urgent, all stacked on the coffee table in my office."

"Phew..." Cheng Qiaobei breathed out, "Alright, next time don’t move them; I’ll come to your office."

Wei Lai smiled, "Still, Cheng treats me well."

Cheng Qiaobei showed a look of disdain, saying, "If it weren’t for considering your pregnant belly, I’d definitely make you move all the documents off the table!"

Deng Yan knocked on the office door then, seeing Wei Lai standing in the center while the table was piled high with documents.

"Cheng just got back, some of these can be signed later." Deng Yan said.

Wei Lai gave Deng Yan a serious look, "These are already filtered by me."

Deng Yan: "...Alright."

Sigh, and I still have to rely on him to offer a reprieve.

Cheng Qiaobei asked, "What’s your business?"

As they talked about serious matters, Wei Lai exited the office.

With the door closed, Deng Yan exhaled; Cheng Qiaobei’s lips twitched, saying, "Are you serious? So afraid of Wei Lai?"

Deng Yan remained calm, as if fearing Wei Lai was commonplace for him.

Deng Yan said, "The material you’re looking for has been gathered."

Cheng Qiaobei grabbed the material, and said again, "Send a copy to my phone."

Soon, two notification tones came from Cheng Qiaobei’s phone.

Ever since Cheng Xiangheng came to him last time, Jade Jiali was gradually forgotten; even in Danjiang City, Jade Jiali could no longer represent the five-star hotel quality, not only was the service lacking, but even the interior decor and management ideas were, to differing extents, abandoned by modern times.

Cheng Qiaobei looked at the continued decline of Jade Jiali’s stock price on the computer screen; the group’s liquidation was just a matter of time.

On the other hand, Eastern First-class, after capital entry, the company’s split sped up, and sales revenue swiftly joined the industry’s top three. Given the current sales figures, not only could they achieve a public listing, they would also exceed sales targets.

Cheng Qiaobei reviewed Eastern First-class’s initial planning proposals; he’d followed the plan’s development and operation all along, now ready to enter the next stage.

But the completion of the next development stage still needed financial backing.

Cheng Qiaobei sought out Zou Yong, intending to introduce the new project and secure investment.

Zou Yong, looking at the contents in the file, lifted his head saying, "This isn’t a small amount."

Cheng Qiaobei: "I know."

Zou Yong: "High risk too."

Cheng Qiaobei: "If strictly executed according to my plan, there won’t be any issues."

Zou Yong raised an eyebrow, blind confidence wasn’t good news, asking, "What guarantee do you offer? Aren’t you too self-assured?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "You see it as self-confidence, I see it as understanding; I understand this industry very well, I grasp what the clients want."

Zou Yong didn’t immediately reply, but said, "Give me two days to think it over."
