Her tone was so soft, so gentle.
Her expression was just as soft and gentle.
But in her pupils, as dark and lustrous as ink-jade, a dangerous glint was spreading, utterly captivating.
Ming Zheng: "...Ex-explain what?"
She had a feeling this clingy guy's gaze was all wrong.
As if he'd turn dark and twisted any second.
"Sister-in-law, of course, explain why you're here! Why are you here with some random man!" Si Lin quickly raised his hand, leaning forward to tattle.
While shouting his question, he glared at the "random man" who had almost broken his hand.
Sister-in-law, sister-in-law...?
When the manager heard Si Lin's address to Ming Zheng.
His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
This beauty...
Was Si Lin's special assistant's sister-in-law?
That meant...
She was their boss's girlfriend?
His... future boss lady?!
The manager recalled that not long ago, he had ordered the security guards to lay hands on the future boss lady.
A shiver ran down his spine, and cold sweat broke out.
Beside him, Mo Yun Heng.
Upon hearing the address, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
Especially when he saw the atmosphere between Chi Xian and Ming Zheng.
His proud eyes narrowed deeply.
Ming Zheng: "?"
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Chi Xian.
Her eyes asked for his meaning.
Chi Xian: "..."
When he heard Ming Zheng call this man "Third Senior Brother" earlier.
Chi Xian's animosity towards Mo Yun Heng had completely vanished!
Third Senior Brother.
Which meant Zheng Bao's third brother!
Relieved, when he met Ming Zheng's ambiguous gaze.
He shivered.
Just like a henpecked husband. He quickly raised his wrist and presented it to Ming Zheng.
He had rushed out and only put on a simple t-shirt.
When he rolled up his sleeve.
A section of his elegantly curved wrist was revealed to Ming Zheng.
On his wrist, he wore a low-key luxury watch.
"Miss Ming, what time is it?" he feigned composure, turning the tables and asking back.
The watch displayed the time as 4 AM.
Ming Zheng: "..."
Oh, right.
This evening, when Chi Xian wanted to follow her to her small apartment.
She had said she was tired and wanted to sleep.
She had even sent him a goodnight message before bed.
And after sending goodnight, she appeared at a nightclub at 4 AM.
As a girlfriend.
It seemed she did indeed need to explain.
Ming Zheng thought for a moment.
She reached out, took Chi Xian's wrist, and pulled him into the private room.
Mo Yun Heng watched Ming Zheng's actions, his dark, inscrutable gaze gradually tinged with a hint of malevolence.
But, in the blink of an eye, it vanished.
He turned and returned to the private room as well.
Just as Si Lin was about to follow, his older brother hooked him by the collar of his uniform and pulled him back.
Si Lin struggled wildly.
But he could only watch as the door to the private room slowly closed.
Pouting, he was on the verge of tears. "Brother, don't you want to go in and spectate?"
Brother Chi just found a girlfriend today!
Less than 24 hours ago!
And Sister-in-law is seeing some random man at the nightclub tonight.
Such explosive gossip.
If he doesn't get a front-row seat, he fears he won't be able to sleep at all! Ahhhhh!
Si Qi's expression was icy. "Let's deal with these matters first."
His cold eyes swept over the security guard squatting on the ground and the manager.
The manager's legs immediately went weak with fear, and he knelt on the ground. "I... If I had known she was the future boss lady, I... I would have defended her with my life, even if it meant offending the Wang family!"
He had never heard that their boss had a girlfriend.
-
Inside the private room.
Ming Zheng pulled him over to the sofa.
"Do you recognize her?"
Chi Xian's gaze fell upon the woman on the sofa, her charming face framed by curly hair.
He frowned. "Chi Sanyue? What is she doing here?"
Ming Zheng: "Your sister?"
Chi Xian nodded, walked to Chi Sanyue's side, and gently patted her face a few times. "Why are you so drunk?"
Ming Zheng: "Heartbreak. After she knew I was your girlfriend, she dragged me out for drinks."
This was why she was at Jinzun Mingjue!
Is that explanation clear enough!
Chi Xian's expression darkened. He straightened up and looked at Ming Zheng. "From now on, if she comes looking for you, ignore her."
Ming Zheng responded with an "Oh."
It was evident.
Chi Sanyue hadn't lied.
Although Chi Xian seemed to disdain Chi Sanyue and didn't call her "sister."
However, when he looked at Chi Sanyue, there was clear concern in his eyes.
If he didn't care about Chi Sanyue.
Upon hearing that Chi Sanyue had dragged her out for drinks, with his temper, he probably would have thrown the woman out of the room by now.
The girl's lazy voice, a soft "Oh," made Chi Xian's ink-black eyes ripple slightly.
Zheng Bao seemed... uncharacteristically gentle towards him.
Hmm.
He felt a bit more balanced now.
Zheng Bao's softness wasn't just for her senior brothers.
A brilliant light bloomed in Chi Xian's eyes, and he smiled with a priceless expression. "Don't worry about the Wang family's affairs. I'll help you wrap them up."
Ming Zheng's expression was peculiar as she stared at the man before her, who inexplicably acted like a peacock displaying its feathers, smiling so radiantly.
Why was he suddenly so happy?
However, seeing that the man wasn't going to press her further about why she was at Jinzun Mingjue.
It meant her explanation had passed.
Ming Zheng said "Oh" again. "I wasn't worried. If I dare to hit someone, I'm not afraid of the consequences."
What about being one of the four great families?
Wasn't Song Zhekui also from the Song family, one of the four great families?
And didn't the Song family just go down the drain?
After Song Zhekui was taken away by his enemies.
His ashes were probably scattered to the winds.
Chi Xian reached out, wanting to pull Ming Zheng into his arms. "I know you're not afraid, but... I'm your boyfriend, after all. At least give me a chance to show off, right?"
Ming Zheng: "..."
To be her boyfriend, what kind of chance to show off did he need?
Although she didn't understand.
But since the clingy guy wanted it, she'd indulge him.
Having a tool to help.
She wouldn't have to trouble herself.
Before Chi Xian could embrace her and feel the softness of her body, and that unique, clear, and fragrant scent.
The girl in front of him was directly pulled away.
The person standing in front of Chi Xian was replaced by Mo Yun Heng, clad in leather, with a fierce and stern expression.
Chi Xian's attempted embrace.
Almost ended up enveloping Mo Yun Heng completely.
Chi Xian quickly retracted his hand.
Thus avoiding a scene that could have been "blood-boiling."
"Third... Third Brother..."
Chi Xian finally remembered that the private room contained not only the unconscious and irrelevant Sanyue.
But also Zheng Bao's Third Senior Brother.
This was another parental introduction.
Chi Xian quickly adjusted his expression and obediently addressed Mo Yun Heng.
Mo Yun Heng: "..." Who the hell is his Third Brother? Stop making false claims of kinship!
Mo Yun Heng didn't want to talk to this dog man, nor did he want to see him.
He turned his head.
Looking at Ming Zheng, whom he had pulled to the side, he asked in a sinister tone, "Now, it's little junior sister's turn... to give me an explanation."
As he spoke, a smile played on his lips.
But that smile.
No matter how you looked at it... it was chilling.
