My beautiful CEO wife
Chapter 647

Chapter 647: 647

After work, Xiao Zheng followed Mo Anna to her home. Mo Anna asked Xiao Zheng to make herself comfortable on the sofa while she brought over a plate of fruit before dashing off to the kitchen to prepare.

Xiao Zheng was somewhat surprised, as Mo Anna had always given off the impression of a business executive. She hadn’t expected her to actually know how to cook.

"Could it be another ’dark chef’?" Xiao Zheng’s face darkened slightly as she thought of Leng Ruobing.

At home, Leng Ruobing had cooked several times, and apart from a few dishes, the rest of the culinary creations were a blend of the essences of ’dark cuisine’ that were compellingly inedible.

"I really don’t want to be a guinea pig," Xiao Zheng felt a bit anxious.

In an attempt to relieve the tension, she looked around while sitting on the sofa. She rarely visited Mo Anna’s place, and even when she had, it was always just a brief glance without a proper observation.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xiao Zheng noticed a doll in a corner of the sofa, a cute frog.

Then as Xiao Zheng looked around, she realized that there were many such frogs in Mo Anna’s home.

’Isn’t this Gua Tai?’

Xiao Zheng chuckled to herself.

She remembered a cartoon from her childhood where the female lead’s favorite toy was this very doll.

"Who would have thought, Mo Anna, a woman so mature and alluring, still harbors such childlike innocence."

Xiao Zheng felt as if she had discovered a New Heaven and Earth, finding it quite amusing.

As time passed, fragrant aromas wafted continuously from the kitchen, and Xiao Zheng sniffed, finding the scent surprisingly inviting. Her eyes lit up.

It seemed Mo Anna was not a ’dark chef’ after all.

Then Xiao Zheng just waited quietly.

Soon, Mo Anna came out carrying a plate of appetizers, a very representative Sichuan dish, Yu Xiang Rou Si (Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce). The sliced black wood ear mushrooms glistened softly, intertwining with the slivers of pork loin, their black and white contrasts enhanced by the garnish of red chili peppers, looking utterly tempting and stirring one’s appetite at first glance.

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and leaned in to take a sniff, smiling brightly, "I didn’t think you were such a good cook," she said as she picked up the chopsticks from the table, took a bite, and her eyes brightened instantly.

Delicious!

"What’s the rush? There are a few more dishes to come," Mo Anna reprimanded Xiao Zheng gently, placing the Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce on the dining table before turning back towards the kitchen.

Next, she brought out a bowl of Tomato and Egg Soup, a dish of Stir-Fried Pork with Vegetables, and Stewed Pork with Glass Noodles.

All were very ordinary dishes with a Northern Chinese touch, commonplace in every household in Hua Country and on the menus of most restaurants.

Yet, these simple dishes gave off a warm feeling, as if making Xiao Zheng recall the scenes of her mother calling her to dinner as a child.

In North Africa, not to mention, even in Leng Ruobing’s villa, Xiao Zheng rarely had these dishes. After all, Leng Ruobing was the CEO of Qianqiu Group, and the meals prepared by the specially hired chefs were very upscale, completely unrelated to these common home-cooked meals.

When hanging out with Long Qie and Titan, it was mostly bars or grand hotels, so they never got to taste such everyday flavors either.

For a while, Xiao Zheng fell silent. She gently picked up the homestyle dishes with her chopsticks, her gaze growing tender.

"What’s wrong?"

Mo Anna noticed Xiao Zheng’s slight change and asked softly.

"Heh, just reminiscing on some old times," Xiao Zheng said with a faint smile, complimenting, "Your cooking is delicious."

Mo Anna pursed her lips in a smile, "Then you should come over more often. They say if you want to keep a man, you need to keep hold of his stomach, hehe, looks like I’ve got yours tied down."

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Zheng’s mouth, "Just a stomach won’t be enough."

Mo Anna’s face turned red as she scolded, "What are you thinking about? Eat your food."

Xioa Zheng expressed surprise, "I wasn’t thinking anything. I mean, apart from tying down his stomach, you also need to tie down other things, like hands, feet, and the like."

Mo Anna’s face grew even redder. But at this moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a lazy and charming aura, her finger lifted Xiao Zheng’s chin gently, and she leaned on her own hand, smiling, "Really?"

Xiao Zheng smiled, "True, truer than anything else."

Mo Anna chuckled lightly, "Then it seems I won’t need to tie down that ’little thing’ of yours."

Xiao Zheng was startled.

Then he realized what she meant and chuckled, "That’s the most important part."

So, after dinner, Xiao Zheng pestered Mo Anna, attempting to see if he could tie down ’something else.’

...

In the following days, Xiao Zheng still went to work every day. Life was relatively calm, and he dared not bring up divorce with Leng Ruobing.

However, while Xiao Zheng’s life was calm, the atmosphere elsewhere was nearly boiling over.

In the Martial Arts Alliance, practically every faction was clamoring for Yun Feiyang to lead them into action as soon as possible.

They were all a bit worried.

Xiao Zheng was like a lion, a lion that was uncontrollable and did as it pleased. His recent bold killing of the Zhao Family heir was proof of that.

Everyone was very clear about one thing: if they didn’t make the first move to capture this lion, the consequences would be unpredictable once it went mad!

Yet, Yun Feiyang had been sitting still, like an angler waiting for the fish to bite.

He believed that with the Martial Arts Alliance’s momentum growing stronger, Xiao Zheng would definitely be unable to sit idly by and would make the first move.

But having waited for days without any sign of action from Xiao Zheng, Yun Feiyang was starting to get anxious.

"Hmph, looks like I’ll have to make the first move," Yun Feiyang’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, a terrifying aura rising from his body.

"Call a meeting!"

And so, Yun Feiyang gave the order.

Instantly.

In the great hall of a mysterious villa, the heads of the Martial Arts Alliance rushed in like rivers converging into the sea.

After arriving, they found their places according to their status and sat down. Looking around, there were a hundred people.

These hundred people were the strongest and most powerful of the Martial Arts Alliance, every one of them a martial arts expert.

These leaders all sat in their places, their eyes eagerly fixed in the direction of the end of the hall, waiting for Yun Feiyang to appear.

Without Yun Feiyang leading them, these people wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on Xiao Zheng. In comparison to the sacred lands of martial arts, Xiao Zheng’s power may not count for much, but relative to their smaller forces, he was truly a colossal figure, utterly untouchable. Even united, they dared not make any moves.
