Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Ah Zheng, You Really Are Hopeless

Qianqiu Group, Sales Department office.

Xiao Zheng was fast asleep in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his feet on the office desk, head resting against the back of the chair.

The sunlight filtered through the window, warm and comforting.

A graceful beauty tiptoed over, squatted down, and meticulously admired Xiao Zheng’s handsome face.

It was none other than Mu Yiqing, the modest and sincere girl.

Ever since Mo Anna left, Mu Yiqing had no love rival, and she could boldly flirt with Xiao Zheng.

"Oh, drooling too? He must be dreaming of some great beauty."

Mu Yiqing gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, her heart clouded with jealousy, sentimental like Lin Daiyu.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng woke with a start, beholding the lovely figure before him, and drool once again fell.

Below the fragrant breeze, those two alluring patches of white shone with an enticing luster in the sunlight, and the delicate face was carved like jade, eyes brimming with tenderness and filled with shyness. This chick had the potential of a vixen.

Such an honest exterior with a passionately wild heart.

Caught up in his thoughts, Xiao Zheng was somewhat entranced. This chick was dressing bolder by the day; her once plain looks had turned into deliberately light make-up.

This deliberate grooming only meant one thing: she was in love. Dressing up was merely to gain favor with the opposite sex.

Xiao Zheng reached out in a daze and caressed that delicate, bright-eyed face, rubbing it secretly. Damn, she was soft.

"Slap!"

"Pervert!"

Mu Yiqing first froze on the spot, then blushed ear to ear, slapped away his hand, and hurriedly prepared to leave.

How could Xiao Zheng let her have her way? He swiftly grabbed her small hand and yanked her in front of him.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Mu Yiqing lost her balance and let out a coy cry, feeling herself sitting on a meat shield, perfectly cushioned, obviously Xiao Zheng’s stomach.

Turning her head in a panic, she looked at Xiao Zheng with his deep eyes, her heart pounding like a little deer’s.

Her slim waist was also wrapped in his arms; it was so sudden.

As the saying goes, a man’s face and a woman’s waist should not be touched carelessly; it signifies intimacy and flirtation.

Mu Yiqing struggled momentarily but in vain. She coyly said, "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?"

"Shouldn’t I be the one asking that?"

With a mischievous smile, Xiao Zheng said cheekily, "Yiqing, I was sleeping, and here you are sneaking a peek without my permission, huh?"

"You!" Mu Yiqing, feeling his hot breath and seeing her colleagues not far off, blushed so red she looked ready to bleed, and shyly said, "Brother Xiao, I came to bring you lunch. It’s working hours now, and it’s not good if colleagues see us like this."

"So, you’re saying that after work, Laozi can do whatever he wants?" Xiao Zheng smirked teasingly.

"Jerk!"

As expected, Mu Yiqing felt extremely embarrassed, slapped his hand away forcefully, covered her burning face, and, like a startled kitten, darted away without a trace.

Xiao Zheng laughed with ill intent, watching her fading silhouette, and all his sleepiness vanished.

He picked up the phone and dialed Mu Yiqing’s internal extension.

"Hello, Brother Xiao, you’re so bad, a lot of colleagues saw us." Mu Yiqing leaned over the desk like an ostrich in a sandstorm, picked up the phone and said softly.

Xiao Zheng chuckled, "Chick, you just came to see me, and you really had no other business?"

"Yeah, I heard in the evening that Qianqiu Group is organizing a trip for the employees, are you going?" Mu Yiqing asked in a voice as quiet as a mosquito’s hum.

Although Xiao Zheng hadn’t been at Qianqiu Group for long, he knew about Mr. Leng’s habit of holding a staff trip once a year, aiming to achieve a combination of work and leisure, relaxation of body and mind, and building team cohesion—all benefits sans drawbacks.

"Yiqing sister, is this trip free?"

"No, the company will reimburse ninety percent of the expenses, and the rest is out of our own pocket." Mu Yiqing was taken aback, what did he mean by that question?

Then came Xiao Zheng’s indignant roar from the phone, "Mr. Leng is truly an evil capitalist, he should reimburse all the expenses. Since it costs money, I’m not going."

"Uh..."

Mu Yiqing, speechless, silently put down the phone, clenched her fist tightly, and made an important decision.

...

At Yunlan Villa, during dinner time.

Three people were eating, but each in a different state. Xiao Zheng was wolfing down his food like a tornado.

Chu Xiaoran, the girl, was picky with her eating, poking here and there, which quite suited her impulsive personality.

Lin Ruobing was much more serene, sticking to vegetables and not touching meat, managing with just plain porridge and pickles.

"Xiao Zheng, the group is organizing a trip, are you going?" Mr. Leng asked in an indifferent tone, devoid of any emotion.

As Xiao Zheng mindlessly shoveled rice, he replied, "I’m not going, I’m just a poor guy, what’s there to travel for?"

"This!"

Mr. Leng clearly froze, staring at him for a moment, and stated without doubt, "You must go!"

"Why? I don’t have any money," Xiao Zheng pleaded poverty, looking pitiful, the shamelessness reaching its peak.

"Because I need a bodyguard!" Mr. Leng said flatly as she elegantly continued eating.

Damn it all.

With that tone and attitude, it didn’t seem like she was condescending to hire talent. At the very least, she should’ve offered some decent incentives like three donkeys or something.

Xiao Zheng was baffled, shaking his head like a rattle drum, and said slyly, "I won’t go unless you agree to a condition of mine."

"What condition?" Mr. Leng put down her chopsticks, her brows slightly knitting as she watched his performance.

"Reimburse the entire trip expense, I’ll buy whatever I want," Xiao Zheng replied with a shamelessly broad smile, asking for the moon.

"You!"

Mr. Leng glared at him angrily, stood up, and headed back to her study, her voice carrying from afar.

"Xiao Zheng, come to my study after dinner."

"Alright!" Xiao Zheng cheerfully agreed and continued to wolf down his food.

But Chu Xiaoran pulled up a stool, drew near him, and whispered mysteriously, "Guard Captain Ah Zheng, the princess is also going on the trip, let’s go together?"

"You’re going too? You’re not even an employee of the company." Xiao Zheng gave her a noogie, too lazy to pay her any heed.

Chu Xiaoran rubbed her head, pouting, and said, "My expenses will naturally be charged to my cousin’s account, I’ll buy whatever I want."

After saying that, she sashayed away with a twist of her waist, smugly imitating Xiao Zheng’s tone, utterly self-satisfied.

God damn it.

That’s not fair! His own cousin gets all her expenses reimbursed, so why be so ruthless to me? What happened to sharing weal and woe together? Are all those just lies to deceive a simpleton like me?

Xiao Zheng, confused, finished his meal and went upstairs, heading straight for Mr. Leng’s study, all bristling with anger.
