Chapter 595: Chapter 595: I want you to be my boyfriend

That wait was two to three hours long.

By the time Leng Ruobing finally arrived, late as always, the civil affairs office had already closed for the day.

Xiao Zheng, watching Leng Ruobing stroll over slowly, felt his anger dissipate; how could he blame her for the delay? After all, she did have her difficulties.

Leng Ruobing gave a light smile and said, "I’m sorry for the long delay, I’m just feeling a bit under the weather. Let’s come back another day."

Xiao Zheng could only nod.

Feeling somewhat dejected.

Thus, they both returned to Yunlan Villa, and it was too late to go to the company now—they had already finished for the day.

Just as Xiao Zheng had gotten back to his room, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, glanced at the name, and let out a small sound of surprise.

The caller was Xiao Yufei.

This Xiao Yufei was a female police officer with quite a fiery figure, and, of course, an equally fiery temper. They’d had a conflict over some issues before, but as the saying goes, ’No discord, no concord’, their relationship had become pretty decent afterward.

However, it was rare for Xiao Yufei to contact him proactively, so Xiao Zheng found it a bit strange, but he still answered the call with a teasing smile, "What’s up, Officer Beauty? Got something for me?"

"What Officer Beauty." Xiao Yufei got a little irritated upon hearing Xiao Zheng speaking in such a flippant tone, recalling all the times she had been "flirted with" by him.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop calling you Officer Beauty. Can I call you a beauty instead?" Xiao Zheng said with a helpless smile.

"You... Humph, you never say anything nice!" Xiao Yufei huffed.

Xiao Zheng feigned shock, speaking with a tone of astonishment, "Are you saying my words aren’t nice? I am praising your beauty, aren’t I? Could it be that you’re actually a person with severe inferiority complex, one who has never been confident about herself and suffers from serious psychological issues?"

"What are you even talking about."

Xiao Yufei couldn’t help but laugh out of frustration.

This guy just can’t talk properly.

It was only now that Xiao Yufei remembered that she had called Xiao Zheng for a very serious matter! She quickly said, "Cut the nonsense, I need your help with something. Yes or no, I need a straight answer from you."

Xiao Yufei was quite forthright in her approach, not at all hesitant to come straight to the point.

Xiao Zheng chuckled, "You want my help? First, you’ve got to tell me with what. If I agree now and you want me to be your boyfriend, what then? If I decline, that’s me breaking my word, but if I say yes, well..."

Xiao Zheng didn’t finish his sentence.

But Xiao Yufei was already on fire, "Xiao Zheng, what do you mean by that? Are you implying I’m not good enough for you?"

Xiao Yufei was livid. Xiao Zheng’s implication of reluctance to be her boyfriend, as if it was beneath him, enraged her. After all, she was a great catch, and if she agreed to be someone’s girlfriend, they would be over the moon, not the other way around!

In her agitated state, words like "old lady" slipped out.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but admire, truly living up to the fiery police officer reputation.

He chuckled, "That’s not what I said. Alright, tell me, what do you need help with?"

After saying this, however, the other end fell silent.

Listening to the silence, Xiao Zheng felt it odd and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"I..." Xiao Yufei paused for a moment, her voice dropped, seemingly embarrassed.

"I want you to be my boyfriend!"

Xiao Yufei seemed to have made up her mind and blurted it all out in one breath.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Zheng was shocked.

She really wanted him to be her boyfriend?

On the one hand, he wanted a divorce and his wife didn’t agree, and now there was a beautiful policewoman throwing herself at him. It seemed his charm was indeed too much; Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

Sometimes, being too charming can be a problem, really.

"Don’t get the wrong idea."

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yufei seemed to know what Xiao Zheng was thinking and said angrily, "I... I don’t really want you to be my boyfriend. Recently, my family has been pushing me to go on blind dates; they’ve found a match for me. I had no choice but to bring you to block me, otherwise, I’d be doomed."

"So that’s the case, you gave me a scare. Can’t you finish what you say next time?" Xiao Zheng said, letting out a breath of relief, not in a good mood.

"What... You look down on me?" Xiao Yufei got angry again. Was she really that unappealing to him?

"Of course not," Xiao Zheng quickly denied, but then he started to laugh and said, "However, I might not be able to agree to this."

Xiao Yufei asked anxiously, "Why?"

Xiao Zheng replied, "Well, I already have a wife, you know. If she finds out that I’m pretending to be your boyfriend, then it’s over for me. I’ll have to kneel on the keyboard."

Xiao Yufei said unhappily, "What’s the big deal! What are you afraid of? It’s just accompanying me to a dinner. Your wife won’t find out."

"There’s no wall in this world that doesn’t let the wind through," Xiao Zheng said.

"Coward!"

"Heh, I’m proud to be a coward. Men who fear their wives are good men."

"You..." Xiao Yufei was so angry that she couldn’t speak, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Talk!"

"Talk about what?"

Xiao Zheng was puzzled.

"What conditions do you want for you to agree?" Xiao Yufei snorted, "I’ve seen right through you long ago, you’re the type who wouldn’t release the hawk unless you’re sure of the rabbit. You definitely won’t do anything if there’s no benefit for you."

"Hey, hey, that’s an insult to my character," Xiao Zheng protested.

"Hmph, just tell me what benefits you want," Xiao Yufei said.

Xiao Zheng sighed and said, "How can you think of me like that?... Okay, as long as you promise to call me Brother Xiao whenever you see me, I will agree to go to that so-called matchmaking dinner."

"You..."

Xiao Yufei was furious and about to speak, but Xiao Zheng quickly interjected with a grin, "You better think it through, oh. If you refuse, I’m not going."

Xiao Yufei ground her teeth.

In the end, she could only say helplessly, "Fine, I agree."

After all, she was the one asking for a favor.

"Hahaha, come on, call me Brother Xiao and let me hear it," Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.

"Brother! Xiao!"

Xiao Yufei enunciated every word, her tone biting as if she wanted to swallow Xiao Zheng alive. However, Xiao Zheng didn’t care; on the contrary, he was very happy. Getting this hot-tempered policewoman to call him Brother Xiao was no simple matter.

After that, Xiao Yufei told Xiao Zheng that she would come to pick him up in person that evening. After Xiao Zheng agreed, he hung up the phone.

When night fell, suddenly, outside Yunlan Villa, there was the piercing sound of a police siren.
