My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Honey, You’ve Got a Pimple

Leng Ruobing’s choice of restaurant was a very famous one in T country, requiring reservations to enter. Without influence or power, it was simply not accessible.

It was only through the channels of the Jewelry Trade Federation that Leng Ruobing managed to book a spot, securing one of the exclusive VIP seats with an excellent atmosphere.

Candles flickered, casting a warm glow over the wine.

Soft, soothing music wafted through the air.

Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing sat facing each other.

The waiter served dishes in a very elegant manner, and soon the table was full of T country’s special cuisines.

Perhaps it was due to the somewhat flirtatious atmosphere, Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing both remained silent, falling into an odd hush.

Xiao Zheng felt increasingly restless. He coughed and said, "Well... the ambiance here is quite nice."

"Yes, it’s very nice."

Leng Ruobing suddenly beamed a smile.

It was as if a snow lotus had bloomed unexpectedly amidst an ice mountain, breathtakingly beautiful.

Because Leng Ruobing suddenly found Xiao Zheng’s slightly awkward demeanor rather adorable.

Xiao Zheng blushed after a moment of surprise, cursing himself inwardly, "Damn it, you’re the formidable Evil God, how can you be at a disadvantage in front of this woman?"

Xiao Zheng had always considered himself a veteran of romance. He chuckled and said, "In this quiet restaurant with a beautiful woman, I can’t help but feel there’s a hidden purpose in your choice of location."

Leng Ruobing picked up the red wine, clinked glasses with Xiao Zheng, and took a sip. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke with ease, "I really want to thank you this time."

Xiao Zheng hadn’t expected this reaction, feeling that his earlier flirtation was a bit inappropriate. He shook his head and bitterly smiled to himself, "I’m not doing well today, to be held back by this girl.

If Long Qie knew about it, I wonder how he would laugh at me."

At this thought, Xiao Zheng collected himself and said with a smile, "All this is thanks to your own efforts. I’ve seen all the preparation you’ve put into this matter—countless nights spent thinking hard, various meetings, you’ve practically given it your all. If it hadn’t been for seeing how dedicated you were, I might not have rescued Lan Ganhen back then."

Leng Ruobing was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng to pay such close attention to her...

She felt suddenly touched.

With a shy smile, she said, "You’re making me blush."

Xiao Zheng laughed, "I’m only telling the truth."

Clearly, Xiao Zheng’s words pleased Leng Ruobing, and the mood between them warmed. With his wealth of experience and exceptional talent, Xiao Zheng was engaging and charming in conversation.

As the CEO of Qianqiu Group, Leng Ruobing was no less learned and had faced many grand occasions. Therefore, she did not fall short in her exchanges with Xiao Zheng. They chatted merrily, enjoying the food and drink, and were quite delighted.

Before they knew it, two hours had passed.

Leng Ruobing hadn’t drunk much but was already feeling tipsy, staggering to her feet and laughing, "Xiao... Xiao Zheng, we should be going."

As she stood up and prepared to leave, she suddenly yelped, losing her balance and falling straight towards the floor.

"Be careful."

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng quickly called out, jumped to his feet, rushed forward and caught Leng Ruobing in his arms.

Leng Ruobing’s body fell against Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng looked down to find Leng Ruobing’s face flushed with a drunken haze in her eyes, her breath as sweet as orchids, intoxicating like vintage wine; he couldn’t help but stare intently.

Feeling Xiao Zheng’s slightly burning gaze, Leng Ruobing’s eyelashes fluttered, her nerves heightened, and her heartbeat quickened.

Their eyes met.

Everything around them seemed to fall silent, as if in their eyes, only the other existed.

"Xiao Zheng..."

Leng Ruobing murmured barely audibly and then slowly closed her eyes.

Xiao Zheng’s breathing became rapid, and he couldn’t help but look at Leng Ruobing’s lips, full and moist, exuding a deadly allure.

Afterward, he slowly lowered his head.

Leng Ruobing also felt Xiao Zheng getting closer, her heartbeat quickened, and the hands around his neck tightened involuntarily.

However, just as their lips were about to meet, Xiao Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Wife, you’ve got a pimple on your nose."

Whoosh!

Leng Ruobing instantly opened her eyes.

The suggestive atmosphere was wiped clean in an instant.

She glared at Xiao Zheng angrily, breaking free from his embrace and said, "Whether I have a pimple or not is none of your business!"

Leng Ruobing was furious.

Just now, she had been emotionally stirred, even ready... But at that critical moment, Xiao Zheng had to pull such a stunt!

"Hehe, you’ve been working too hard lately, you might be overheated," Xiao Zheng chuckled.

Leng Ruobing glared at Xiao Zheng again, regaining her previous cold and glamorous allure, and said icily, "You don’t need to worry about me!"

Inside, she was already cursing Xiao Zheng for his lack of romance.

Xiao Zheng touched his nose and said, "That’s right, our marriage agreement expires in just over a month, sigh, then you won’t be my wife anymore."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruobing’s body suddenly stiffened.

She fell silent.

It took a while before she spoke indifferently, "Alright, let’s go."

Xiao Zheng didn’t speak either, and the two returned to the hotel and entered their respective rooms.

Once Leng Ruobing entered her room, she sat blankly on the bed. Her thoughts churned, and Xiao Zheng’s image surged in her mind.

"Could it be that I’ve really fallen for him?"

Leng Ruobing murmured to herself.

Lost in her thoughts, Leng Ruobing became infatuated.

...

On the other hand, Xiao Zheng upon returning to his room, sighed and then his expression turned cold.

He had indeed been momentarily moved just now.

Actually, ever since he returned to Zhonghai, Xiao Zheng had experienced a completely different life. He quite liked this tranquil and mundane existence.

He enjoyed waking up every morning to someone waiting at the dining table and had gotten used to bickering with Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran every day.

This mundane life had a gentle warmth to it, which held a great attraction for Xiao Zheng.

But Xiao Zheng knew that he couldn’t stop!

Ever since he failed to inherit that power, his body had deteriorated increasingly, and his lifespan was not long. If he didn’t find all the Golden Bones, he would eventually die.

Before ensuring his survival, Xiao Zheng dared not make any promises.

Whether it was Mo Anna or Leng Ruobing, it was the same.

He was a man and couldn’t do things that would hurt a woman.

"Huh... just wait, Golden Bone, one day, I will surely find all of you," Xiao Zheng took a deep breath.
