Chapter 507: Chapter 506 Two Bright Reds
Liu Zheng finally came to his senses and quickly reached out both hands to stop Chen Fei’er, "I’m sorry, let me take you back."
"Mm."
Seeing this, Chen Fei’er nodded slightly, her cheeks blooming with a flush of rosy red.
...
On the way back, the two were silent.
However, Chen Fei’er’s gaze stayed on the scenery outside the window, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts.
"Do you... like me?"
She suddenly asked.
Liu Zheng was startled for a moment, then nodded.
He didn’t know why he agreed to Chen Fei’er, but at that moment, he had no rationality to speak of.
"Do you... like me?"
She asked again.
"I... I don’t know."
Liu Zheng said hesitantly.
He didn’t know if his words were his true inner feelings.
"Like me? If you don’t like me, why did you agree to me?"
"I don’t know, maybe it’s because you’re very beautiful?"
"Huh, is that so? I don’t think so."
Chen Fei’er laughed, then turned her head towards the window.
Liu Zheng didn’t say anything more, just reduced the speed of the car, letting the wind mess with the hair on Chen Fei’er’s forehead.
"Actually, I also don’t know whom I truly like, I only know that you are the first person of the opposite sex who has made me feel this way."
"There’s a unique charm about you that makes it hard not to draw close, compelling me to want to follow you!"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath, slowly exhaling before speaking slowly.
He knew he was not good at sweet-talking, so he kept these words deep in his heart.
His words caused a pang of discomfort in Chen Fei’er’s heart.
She turned her head to look at Liu Zheng and asked, "Do you like me because I’m beautiful, or is it because we share the same last name, Chen?"
"Both... both, I guess!"
"I..."
"You don’t have to rush to answer, I know I’m not good enough for you, and I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng was taken aback.
He looked at Chen Fei’er with some surprise, saying, "Miss, actually, I... I am a poor man, you don’t need to..."
"Poor man?"
Chen Fei’er said somewhat surprised.
"Yes."
Liu Zheng nodded and said.
"But you don’t have the air of defeat about you! And... you look very young."
Chen Fei’er’s words made Liu Zheng smile, "That’s because I hide it well, I am already twenty-seven years old."
"What? Twenty-seven?!"
"Yeah, I’m a few years older than you."
Liu Zheng said somewhat helplessly.
"So, I’m already becoming an old aunt."
"No, you’re still very young."
"Then your family..."
"I have no family."
Liu Zheng sighed and said.
"No family?!"
"Mm, ever since I was little, I haven’t seen my parents again after they divorced. I don’t even know if they’re dead or alive, so... there’s not much sorrow to speak of."
Liu Zheng said gloomily.
"Then... how have you survived until today?"
Chen Fei’er looked at him curiously and asked.
"I..."
Liu Zheng’s gaze flickered, tears welling up in his eyes.
He didn’t dare to tell Chen Fei’er that he was kidnapped by a group of people and then taken back to the countryside.
There, he lived a life worse than that of dogs and pigs, and he almost lost his life.
"I’m sorry..."
His eyes became moist.
"It’s okay, you don’t have to blame yourself."
Chen Fei’er shook her head and said.
"How about you? How did you survive?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng stopped crying, lifted his head, and looked at Chen Fei’er with a puzzled expression, asking.
"Me? Of course, I was adopted by my parents! My mom and dad are a university professor and a lawyer, so of course, they had the means to support me."
"So that’s it... I... I thought... thought you... I..."
The volume of Liu Zheng’s voice grew softer and softer until, in the end, whether it was due to embarrassment or shyness, he simply clammed up.
Seeing this, Chen Fei’er couldn’t help but smirk with amusement, "What? What did you think?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng immediately shook his head, "I... nothing, I just feel like we have a strong connection."
"I feel that way too."
"That... I’ve got something to do, I need to get the car to the company quickly."
With that, Liu Zheng sped up the vehicle, heading toward his factory.
Watching the sedan grow farther and farther away, Chen Fei’er’s lips curled into a faint smile, and she thought to herself, "Liu Zheng, I wonder if we will see each other again... "
-
A night went by.
Chen Fei’er was still wandering in her dreams, having not slept all night.
"It seems like my luck has been terrible... I ran into those bad guys again last night..."
"No, my luck has always been pretty good!"
"I will definitely turn misfortune into good fortune!"
Chen Fei’er hypnotized herself over and over again.
She didn’t know if it would work, but at any rate, she could only make a last-ditch effort.
At dawn, as the first ray of sunlight hit the earth, Chen Fei’er finally woke up.
She stretched lazily, then opened the car door and walked toward her shop.
"Xiao Xue, where are you? Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue..."
Chen Fei’er called out a few times, but there was no response from Lin Xueqing.
"That girl, she wouldn’t have snuck out to play again."
With this thought, she couldn’t help but worry.
When she tried to call Lin Xueqing, she was greeted by a message that the phone was turned off.
"Ah! Well, if she doesn’t want to come back, then I won’t force her."
"I have to go to the office anyway, so I will not keep her company."
"That’s right, I still need to buy her a present this morning."
With that thought, a warm feeling flooded Chen Fei’er’s heart.
...
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng had returned to his company.
As soon as he entered the office, the secretary came to greet him, "Good morning, Mr. Liu."
"Good morning."
"Your schedule for today is already full, so..."
The secretary reminded him.
Liu Zheng nodded and said, "It’s fine, I’ll review some documents for a while. If there’s nothing urgent, you don’t need to call me."
"All right, if you need anything, just ring the bell on the desk."
"Thank you."
After the secretary left, Liu Zheng sat down on his chair and turned on the computer.
After opening his inbox, he found an email, and the subject line of the email made his brows furrow.
’Paradise Bar’.
Liu Zheng’s frown deepened as he used the mouse to click on an attachment in the email, and then a series of photos appeared on the screen.
His face turned ashen as he stared at the photos, his fists clenched as if he were trying to restrain something.
"How can this be? Why is this happening!?"
He gritted his teeth and roared in anger.
"What’s going on?"
At that moment, a woman’s voice sounded.
"You... why are you here?"
Liu Zheng looked at Su Yuxin, who had suddenly appeared, and his face instantly showed a panicked expression, and at the same time, he shut off the computer screen.
"Can’t I come? Or is it that you’ve got another woman on the side?"
Su Yuxin stepped closer to Liu Zheng, then stood in front of him with her arms crossed.
"No... no, I..."
"Are you avoiding my gaze?"
"It’s not that, I just..."
Liu Zheng’s face showed a struggle.
"I... I just didn’t want you to misunderstand, that’s all."
"Heh... Misunderstand? Would I wrongly accuse my own boss?"
