My beautiful CEO wife
Chapter 556

Chapter 556: 556

Mo Anna really started asking about the relationship between Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing, and Xiao Zheng could only give a bitter smile, finding it difficult to explain.

After all, he couldn’t say that he and Leng Ruobing were husband and wife, could he?

But not explaining was also not an option.

The relationship between him and Leng Ruobing was indeed a bit ambiguous within the company, and people had even seen him driving Leng Ruobing to work,

"Damn it, just muddle through for now," Xiao Zheng thought helplessly to himself.

"You’ve misunderstood, the thing between President Leng and me isn’t as complicated as you think," Xiao Zheng said, making a gesture of surrender with both hands.

"Then what exactly is your relationship with her?" Mo Anna asked.

"The relationship is very simple. Back in the days when I was in a terrible state, you have no idea, I could barely get enough to eat. Then, President Leng happened to pass by a slum, saw this, took pity, and rescued me.

Of course, I was just one of them. In the end, she arranged for us to work in the company. Some became security guards, some became drivers, and I, having decent capabilities, was directly appointed as a sales manager," Xiao Zheng said, speaking earnestly and at length.

Mo Anna fell silent for a while, then sat back down next to Xiao Zheng and smiled, "I believe you."

Mo Anna was a smart woman, so she knew that sometimes, a smart woman needs to learn to play dumb.

She didn’t want much, just an attitude from Xiao Zheng to narcotize and deceive herself. She knew that wanting too much would lead to losing even more.

The thoughts of a woman are the most complex and profound, which Xiao Zheng, of course, failed to detect, still believing that Mo Anna was truly fooled and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, the two of them naturally had a bout of indescribable.

It wasn’t until evening that Mo Anna, with a red face, dressed, and sneaked out of Xiao Zheng’s room, returning to her own.

"What a jerk, he doesn’t know how to be gentle at all," Mo Anna sat on the bed, her thoughts wandering back to the earlier events, feeling bashfully infinite.

...

In the evening, Qianqiu Group organized a grand banquet in the hall of the Phoenix Farm, and everyone enjoyed it heartily.

Soon after the banquet ended and everyone dispersed, Leng Ruobing sent her secretary to pass a message to Xiao Zheng to meet at the Wood Spirit Tablet on Fengqi Mountain early the next morning.

"Isn’t it just hanging out together? Why make it so hush-hush?" Xiao Zheng muttered to himself, shaking his head as he returned to his room.

Upon reflection, it seemed normal enough; not many people in the company knew about his relationship with Leng Ruobing, and she didn’t want their relationship to be known by too many people. Therefore, at such a large gathering, they had to be extra cautious when meeting.

The place where the Mulan Stele was located was a rather secluded corner of Fengqi Mountain. Although there was a mountain path leading directly to the summit, the dense forest around meant few tourists were willing to venture there, making it an ideal spot for a secret rendezvous.

However, after returning to his room that night, Mo Anna, Mu Yiqing, and some other female employees from the company frantically flocked to Xiao Zheng’s room, all wanting to make plans with him for the next day.

Within Qianqiu Group, the legend of Xiao Zheng had spread far and wide; everyone knew he was an exceptional individual with a mysterious background. Plus, Xiao Zheng was so incredibly handsome that the female employees looked at him like she-wolves eyeing their prey, their eyes turning green with desire.

Each one was throwing herself at him without hesitation.

Xiao Zheng was also troubled. This was the helplessness of being too charismatic; he was supposed to go out with Leng Ruobing the following morning. As for these eager overtures from the young ladies, Xiao Zheng could only painfully reject them all.

Many women suddenly looked dejected and left with disappointment.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zheng arrived at the location of the Mulan Stele, and looking around, he saw the dense woods that were deep and quiet, with the occasional roaring of wild beasts coming from afar.

A narrow mountain path, hidden among the trees, twisted and turned its way up the mountain.

"My wife really knows how to pick a spot," Xiao Zheng looked around and was quite satisfied.

He didn’t have to wait long before Leng Ruobing walked over from a distance. Xiao Zheng looked over at her.

Today, Leng Ruobing was dressed in a white casual sports top and a pair of dark gray jogging pants, with a white baseball cap on her head and a backpack slung over her shoulders, giving her an appearance that was clean, bright, and full of vitality and sunshine.

This was the first time Xiao Zheng had seen Leng Ruobing dressed like this, and he was a bit stunned.

"What are you looking at?" When Leng Ruobing approached Xiao Zheng and saw his dazed look, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"I’m admiring a youthful beauty," Xiao Zheng snapped back to his senses and said with a smile.

"What youthful beauty? I’m already in my twenties, far from being a girl anymore," Leng Ruobing sighed lightly.

"What’s there to be scared of? You’re already married, so there’s no way you would end up single," Xiao Zheng replied offhand.

No sooner had he said this than he realized it was a bit inauspicious, and sure enough, he quickly noticed Leng Ruobing’s murderous gaze. Xiao Zheng gave a nervous laugh and hurriedly changed the subject, "Um... what’s our plan for today? Are we going hiking?"

"Hmph."

Leng Ruobing looked at Xiao Zheng with annoyance and then said, "Yes, hiking. I’ve heard that if you follow this mountain path, you can see some really beautiful scenery along the way. When we reach the mountaintop, there’s a private villa owned by one of my good sisters, where we can rest."

"Haha, you’ve planned it all out pretty well. But why do I feel like you’re bringing me to a private villa with bad intentions?" Xiao Zheng said with a cheeky grin.

"Xiao Zheng!"

Leng Ruobing got angry, "You’re talking nonsense again!"

Xiao Zheng raised his hands in surrender, repeatedly saying, "Alright, alright, I won’t talk, I won’t talk, okay?"

"Smooth-talking man," Leng Ruobing glared at Xiao Zheng, then took the lead and started walking along the mountain path. Xiao Zheng touched his nose, smiled helplessly, and thought how unfortunate to have come here early in the morning only to earn such a comment. He quickly followed Leng Ruobing.

The mountain path was incredibly narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, and there were many plants and thorns across the path, making it difficult to advance. Leng Ruobing had walked less than ten meters when she suddenly cried out in pain.

"What happened?"

Xiao Zheng walked up to ask.

Leng Ruobing showed him her arm, where it had been scratched by a thorn, tearing a small cut in her skin which was now bleeding, though her clothes were fine.

"How could you be so careless," Xiao Zheng said with concern, taking out a tissue to clean the wound. Then he pulled Leng Ruobing behind him.

"Just follow me from now on, don’t worry," Xiao Zheng said.

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s back, Leng Ruobing felt a sense of safety and obediently lowered her head, making an affirmative sound.
