Chapter 199: Chapter 199: You Don’t Love Me Anymore!

Chu Xiaoran and Leng Ruobing had a chat in the bedroom. Afterward, they got out of bed, went downstairs, and prepared to start a new day. Both of them were feeling somewhat restless, still preoccupied with thoughts about the mysterious clown.

Creak.

Just as the two of them descended the stairs, the villa’s main gate opened, and Xiao Zheng walked in.

"Xiao Zheng, you big jerk, where did you run off to last night?" Chu Xiaoran said, slightly fuming, upon seeing Xiao Zheng.

"Heh heh heh, it’s a man’s business, you wouldn’t understand," Xiao Zheng replied with a chuckle.

He naturally wouldn’t blab about what happened the night before, so he made a playful joke, deliberately being provocative to gloss over the issue.

"Hmm?"

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Leng Ruobing’s gaze sharpened, her eyes like swords piercing through Xiao Zheng’s body.

"What did you say you were doing last night?" Leng Ruobing asked, arms crossed and a frosty expression on her face.

"Whoa, Sister is getting fierce, and it’s terrifying," Chu Xiaoran jumped in shock and gave Xiao Zheng a look that said he was on his own, then obediently went to sit down by the dining table.

"Uh..." Xiao Zheng was also taken aback, finding Leng Ruobing’s reaction a bit strange.

With a twist of his eyes, he caught on and said with a smile, "Wife, don’t worry, I wasn’t out flirting. It’s just that a brother had an accident and got hurt, so I went to check on him."

Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, Leng Ruobing’s face flushed slightly, somewhat abashed.

This was because she realized that she didn’t really have any right to interfere with Xiao Zheng’s actions – after all, their marriage was only a sham.

"Hmph, I’m not concerned with your antics; I’m just afraid of you causing trouble. You are impulsive and easily influenced by bad things; I’m afraid you’ll go down the wrong path," Leng Ruobing snorted and framed Xiao Zheng with an accusation before sitting down at the dining table.

Xiao Zheng could only give a wry smile.

The idea that the Evil God could be influenced by bad things is something that probably only Leng Ruobing would say. In the vast Underworld, everyone knows that the Evil God is among those with the most resolute will.

"You two enjoy your meal slowly. I’m beat from last night and really sleepy; I’m going to catch up on some sleep. Wife, could you call in a leave for me? I’ll go to work in the afternoon."

Yawning, Xiao Zheng headed upstairs.

"That guy is really lazy!" Leng Ruobing grumbled.

"Heh heh, Sister, are you interested in him?" Chu Xiaoran teased, grinning mischievously.

At these words, Leng Ruobing’s face turned a shade redder and she scolded, "Little kid, what nonsense are you spouting?"

...

In the afternoon, Xiao Zheng leisurely arrived at his office, lay down, turned on his computer, and prepared to while away the afternoon.

At that moment, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in,"

Xiao Zheng said.

The door opened, and in walked a person dressed in a sharp business suit that highlighted impressive curves, with snow-white skin and a voluptuous body exuding a mature and enchanting quality.

It was Mo Anna.

"Yo, Sister Mo, what brings you to my office?"

Xiao Zheng was somewhat surprised. As the manager of the sales department, Mo Anna was usually very busy and wouldn’t come to see him without a reason. Moreover, their relationship had become somewhat ambiguous and complicated recently, making their encounters somewhat awkward. So Mo Anna’s proactive visit today was indeed strange.

"Hmph, can’t I come see you if there’s no business?"

Mo Anna gave Xiao Zheng an annoyed glance, clacked over in her high heels, and plopped down on the desk in front of him. Instantly, her ample behind was pressed into a line that could make any onlooker hot under the collar.

"A real beauty." Even the well-experienced Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but inwardly sigh at this moment, of course keeping his thoughts to himself, not daring to actually tell Mo Anna.

"Come to a banquet with me this afternoon."

Mo Anna got straight to the point.

"A banquet? I don’t think it’s proper for me to go. The banquets you attend are definitely filled with VIPs. I’m just a minor sales manager. Even if I went, I wouldn’t be of any use."

Xiao Zheng shook his head like a tambourine.

As the Heavenly Net Evil God, Xiao Zheng was really not interested in such banquets. In his opinion, those people were too weak; dining with them was torture.

He’d rather spend the time playing computer games—a truly valuable life.

"I haven’t even said which banquet it is, and you’re already refusing. Don’t you want to go with me? You’re so eager to help Xiao Mu with anything, yet when I ask for a favor, you can’t be swayed," Mo Anna said, giving Xiao Zheng a look of profound grievance.

"Do you dislike me that much?"

She seemed on the verge of tears.

"Don’t be like that, alright? I’ll go, okay?"

Xiao Zheng could only give a wry smile and beg for mercy.

"Really?"

Mo Anna’s eyes lit up, and she instantly returned to her normal demeanor.

"Why would I lie to you?" Xiao Zheng said, resigned.

"You’re so nice." Mo Anna cheered, sounding like a little girl. Then, she hurled her ample body onto Xiao Zheng and hugged him.

Xiao Zheng could only feel Mo Anna’s two peaks pressing and deforming against his chest, and then, with a smack, his cheek was under assault as Mo Anna planted a kiss on him.

Then the sweet fragrance was gone.

Mo Anna stood up, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes as soft as if water might drip out, tenderly entwining Xiao Zheng with her gaze.

Xiao Zheng cleared his throat and said, "So... what’s this banquet really about? Tell me more."

Mo Anna smiled and said, "This banquet is related to gambling on stones and jewelry appraisal. My main purpose in going is to conduct some market research and observe their industries.

"In the future, Qianqiu Group may expand into a new business direction, and this could be a good choice."

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "From what you’re saying, this banquet must be quite upscale, especially if it can provide insights to a big company like Qianqiu Group."

Mo Anna said, "Of course, it’s a gathering of true elites. I expended a lot of effort and obtained the invitation through a privileged young man named Wang Renze.

"He’s trying to pursue me, which is kind of annoying, but for the sake of the company, I have to play along."

After saying this, Mo Anna glanced at Xiao Zheng.

It seemed she brought up this point on purpose, wanting to see Xiao Zheng’s reaction, a little cunning play of a woman’s heart.

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Sounds pretty good."

Mo Anna gave Xiao Zheng a dismissive look and said, "Insensitive."

"Huh?"

Xiao Zheng was completely at a loss.

...

The banquet was set for the afternoon. Once the two had decided to go, they didn’t delay. They left the company, hopped in a car, and soon arrived in front of a huge building.

This building, known as Mingzhu Building, was quite famous in Zhonghai City, as one of the landmark buildings, and the property rights belonged to the government.

Securing this building for an event was impossible without significant influence and powerful connections, which also spoke to the grandeur of the banquet.
