Chapter 116: Is That All You Think About?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Talking to businessmen at Ron’s level or watching their business speeches taught her a lot. In the years that Xing Shu had been in the Xing family, she had never had the chance to interact with people of this level. However, after being around Cheng Lang for a month, what she had seen was enough for her to upgrade her knowledge base after digesting it.
Cheng Lang’s hand was still on Xing Shu’s waist. Xing Shu surprised him at every turn. She had improved so much, and she was so smart. She had a sharp sense of things. Nie Heng always disdainfully said that Xing Shu was just a mistress or plaything, but Cheng Lang knew that she was not. She was an eagle locked in a cage, eager to break free and soar in the sky. As long as she broke free from the restraints of the cage, the sky’s the limit. The so-called engagement and the appearance of a socialite should not trap and restrain her. She should have her own world.
This was the first time Cheng Lang was thinking about a woman’s future. The corners of his lips subconsciously curled up. Xing Shu keenly captured his emotions and knew that Cheng Lang was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to make a small request. “Young Uncle, do you still remember the villa you gave me?”
Cheng Lang chuckled. “Huh?”
Xing Shu pretended not to notice the mockery in Cheng Lang’s tone. She explained, “It’s the villa you promised me when you first took charge of the company. You said that it was a greeting gift for me. I wanted to sell the villa, but Cheng Xingyang kept putting off the transfer of the property deed. Will you help me urge him? My words fall on deaf ears.”
The two of them were lying on the bed. Cheng Lang’s eyes were closed. His eyelashes were long, and his skin was very fair, like a perfect sculpture. Xing Shu turned to face him. When he did not speak, she could not help but reach out and pull his sleeve. Her fingers were grabbed by Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang said, “Shall I call him now?”
Xing Shu asked, “Young Uncle, why didn’t you ask me what I want the money for?” After all, it was more than 20 million yuan.
Cheng Lang: “Your money, your say.”
Xing Shu felt that her skin was already thick enough, but she did not expect Cheng Lang’s to be even thicker. That villa was bought by Cheng Xingyang using company funds and given to Xing Linlin. But, Cheng Lang was very thick-skinned and regifted it to her just like that.
Xing Shu chuckled. She liked it when Cheng Lang was devilish. “Okay. Make the call then. I don’t want Xing Linlin to stay there for a day longer.”
“Sleep first.” Cheng Lang’s tone was indifferent. He closed his eyes again. Xing Shu had a different interpretation of “sleep”. Her fingers tentatively unbuttoned Cheng Lang’s shirt. Her hands were then grabbed. Cheng Lang asked with a smile in his eyes, “What are you doing?”
Xing Shu was puzzled. “Aren’t we going to sleep?”
Cheng Lang chuckled again. “Xing Shu, is that all you think about?”
Xing Shu was stunned for a moment. When she recovered, she was embarrassed. Cheng Lang’s words made it seem like she was very horny, but it was clearly his meaning between the lines that made people misunderstand!
Xing Shu retracted her hand and deadpanned, “I just feel that if I don’t sleep with you now, it would be very disrespectful to that perfect body of yours.”
Cheng Lang let out a muffled laugh. The joy in his laughter was obvious. He hugged Xing Shu tightly and pressed his forehead against her shoulder. This hugging posture felt inexplicably warm.
Xing Shu could not help but raise her hand and touch Cheng Lang’s head. His hair was hard and a little prickly. A man’s head and a woman’s waist were very intimate places. Xing Shu’s heart softened and she touched him again reluctantly before retracting her hand.
The sunlight outside the window was very warm. When it shone into the room, it felt like time had passed peacefully. Xing Shu’s breathing could not help but lighten. She had burned the midnight oil the night before to prepare the document. Then, there was the late-trip to the welfare home last night. Now that she was under the sun, she felt sleepy. She slowly closed her eyes and snuggled up to Cheng Lang out of habit. There were very dark circles under her eyes. Cheng Lang tilted his head to look at her and pulled up the duvet.
If someone had told him in the past that he would lie on the bed in the nap room with a woman, Cheng Lang would never have believed it. The office was a workplace, and the nap room was his private domain. No one was allowed to enter. However—in this moment—he could see Xing Shu’s face when he tilted his head. This experience was very novel to Cheng Lang. He did not know what it was that he felt for Xing Shu. In the past, Old Master Cheng’s evaluation of Cheng Lang was that he was very smart, but he could not learn how to love and did not know what love was..
