My beautiful CEO wife
Chapter 483: Could Xiao Zheng be Mr. Clown?

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Could Xiao Zheng be Mr. Clown?

Yunlan Villa.

Leng Ruobing’s eyelids twitched, and then she opened her eyes. She gazed at the ceiling above her with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes.

Isn’t this her own room?

She remembered that she had just been eating at Mr. Liu’s villa.

And after drinking a glass of red wine, she had passed out.

At that thought, Leng Ruobing suddenly realized what had happened, and sat up abruptly, subconsciously hugging her chest, looking around in panic.

She didn’t need to be a genius to know that she had fallen into Mr. Liu’s trap!

But she was taken aback very soon.

The furnishings in this room... wasn’t it her own room?

Then she saw Xiao Zheng.

"You’re awake," Xiao Zheng said with a slight smile, sitting on a chair beside the bed.

"Xiao Zheng..." Leng Ruobing asked, unable to help herself, "Why are you here? And how come I am here? What happened before?"

She was full of doubts.

"Hehe, you were brought back by someone wearing a Mr. Clown mask. He told me that you’d gone to a banquet at Mr. Liu’s and Mr. Liu had drugged you. He happened to pass by, found out about it, chased Mr. Liu away, rescued you, and then brought you back here," Xiao Zheng explained with a smile.

He lied.

The person wearing the Mr. Clown mask was him. But Xiao Zheng couldn’t tell Leng Ruobing that, because revealing his identity would disrupt and shatter the peaceful life Leng Ruobing was living now!

And that was something Xiao Zheng didn’t wish to see.

"The person with the Mr. Clown mask... it was him again?" Leng Ruobing murmured to herself.

This person had saved her many times!

But every time was incredibly mysterious; after saving her, he would vanish magically. And at the end of every crisis, who she saw was Xiao Zheng.

"Alright, now that you’re awake, I’ll head out," Xiao Zheng said as he stood up, "Get some good rest. If you’re hungry, there’s food warmed up downstairs, you can eat it directly. You see, you wouldn’t listen to me and insisted on getting involved with Mr. Liu; now you’ve suffered, haven’t you?"

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but reprimand her.

Leng Ruobing replied defensively, "It’s all your fault; you always obscure the truth and never clarify. How am I supposed to know when you’re telling the truth or not?"

Xiao Zheng touched his nose and couldn’t help but wryly smile.

Indeed, that was the case.

Back then, if he had made the discord between him and Mr. Liu clear, Leng Ruobing wouldn’t have continued to attend Mr. Liu’s banquets.

But he just couldn’t say it.

"Yes, yes, it’s my fault," Xiao Zheng could only sigh helplessly.

Then, he looked at Leng Ruobing seriously.

"But promise me, next time trust me, okay? I won’t deceive you on these matters. If something happened to you, I would be worried."

Leng Ruobing was stunned.

Then her face turned a shade of red.

Xiao Zheng was usually playful and never serious. But when he became serious, he exuded a special charm that was irresistible.

His voice was also very pleasant, deep and slightly husky, carrying that distinctive flavor of mature men, making it hard not to be persuaded by his words.

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

The most important was what Xiao Zheng had said.

Those words made Leng Ruobing’s heartstrings tremble.

She lowered her head.

She uttered a word, as soft as a whisper.

"Okay."

Xiao Zheng smiled. "That puts my mind at ease," he said as he walked out of the room and gently closed the door behind him.

Meanwhile, Leng Ruobing...

...felt like a deer running rampant in her heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

She hugged a white cat plushie, buried her head in it, and rolled around on the bed. Then she suddenly stopped, sat up, got out of bed, and walked over to her computer desk.

"Forget about him, that jerk,"

Leng Ruobing muttered to herself, her face flushed with annoyance.

In private, she wasn’t the icy CEO she appeared to be, more like a little girl.

"Who exactly is the person who saved me?"

Powering up her computer and staring at the screen, Leng Ruobing’s mind wandered again to Mr. Clown.

Speaking of Mr. Clown, he had saved her several times.

But each time after saving her, he would mysteriously disappear.

Moreover, the strangest thing was that whenever she faced danger, he would always appear in the nick of time!

It was as if Mr. Clown was always nearby, protecting her round the clock.

"Could he be a bodyguard my father hired?"

Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but think.

But she soon shook her head.

With skills like Mr. Clown’s, her father couldn’t possibly afford to hire him.

"If he’s not a bodyguard, then who is he? And why does he always protect me?" Leng Ruobing’s imagination began to run wild.

"Could it be... he was some childhood friend? Growing up, he developed amazing skills, and, unable to forget me, he returned to Zhonghai City to be near me. However, due to various reasons, he couldn’t reveal his identity and could only watch over me from the shadows..."

Lost in her thoughts, Leng Ruobing laughed and slapped her face. "Leng Ruobing, what are you thinking? Plot lines from romance novels can’t possibly happen in real life."

With that thought...

Leng Ruobing opened the browser on her computer and started searching for "Mr. Clown."

She wanted to gather information from the internet.

Given how advanced the internet is nowadays, perhaps she could find some useful information.

Moreover, as the CEO of Qianqiu Group, she had high-level access and could use certain means to search through databases of some national institutions.

Her information-gathering ability was far stronger than an average person!

Leng Ruobing searched enthusiastically.

But after a thorough search, she found nothing.

Feeling dejected, she walked to the side of the bed, threw herself onto it, and sighed, "Who is he really?"

And then, at that moment, two words suddenly flashed through Leng Ruobing’s mind.

Xiao Zheng!

Upon reflection, it seemed that the only person who was always around her, constantly nearby, and also present during each crisis, was Xiao Zheng!

Moreover, Xiao Zheng was a mystery himself, possessed amazing driving skills, incredible fighting prowess, and could effortlessly create a masterpiece like the mountain array drawing.

He even had a feud with someone like Mr. Liu.

He was clearly no ordinary person.

"Could it really be him?"

Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but think.

After a while...

Leng Ruobing let out a sigh. In the end, it was just a likely speculation.

"Since Mr. Clown insists on hiding his identity, he must have his reasons. I’ll just wait then. I believe that one day, he will surely appear before me with his true face!"
