Chapter 526: Chapter 525: Silence Without Words
"I know you disdain me, but I’ve already decided, we’re getting married, you can’t disagree!" Lin Xiaoxue said seriously, "If you don’t like me being your wife, I won’t force you! But if you don’t want me to have children, you still have to agree to marry me!"
"You..."
"Rest assured, I will definitely make you fall in love with me!" Lin Xiaoxue continued, "I promise, once I’ve had our child, I will definitely leave this place!"
After hearing Lin Xiaoxue’s words, Liu Zheng pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement!
After all, what Lin Xiaoxue said wasn’t wrong, the two really weren’t suitable for each other.
...
At dusk, a red Maserati slowly drove into the Wu Family estate and stopped in front of a distinctive European-style building.
The car window slowly opened, revealing a woman in a pink dress climbing out.
Seeing the woman’s face clearly, Liu Zheng was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but exclaim, "What a gorgeous beauty!"
The woman saw Liu Zheng sitting on the couch and her eyes lit up immediately.
This woman was none other than Lin Xiaoxue.
Lin Xiaoxue hopped out of the car and then ran towards Liu Zheng.
"Brother Liu Zheng, I’m back!"
"Hmm, back!" Liu Zheng smiled, "Why are you wearing so little? Hurry in, I’ll get you slippers!"
"Okay!"
Afterward, Liu Zheng led Lin Xiaoxue toward the villa’s main hall.
As the two sat on the couch, Lin Xiaoxue couldn’t help but complain, "Liu Zheng, do you think I’m dressed too lightly? Won’t I be cold?"
"How could you not be cold? I was freezing when I just went out!" Liu Zheng said with a wry smile.
"Then why did you go out?"
"If I didn’t go out, you wouldn’t cook for me, so I had to eat at a hotel. Plus, I can’t cook, I can’t eat plain rice at your place forever!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxue fell silent for a moment.
After a while, she slowly said, "Didn’t I tell you? You can eat out, why insist on staying here?"
"Because we are boyfriend and girlfriend, aren’t we?"
"But we..."
"It’s okay, I don’t care about formalities. Anyway, we’ll get married sooner or later!" Liu Zheng interrupted Lin Xiaoxue.
"You..."
Seeing Liu Zheng’s resolute attitude, Lin Xiaoxue didn’t argue anymore, only saying, "I’ll go make us something to eat, you rest for now!"
Lin Xiaoxue stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Liu Zheng watched Lin Xiaoxue’s receding figure and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Liu Zheng, what are you laughing at?" Lin Xiaoxue turned her head and asked.
"Hehe! Nothing, I just suddenly feel like my life is complete!" Liu Zheng said with a faint smile.
"Your life? Your life is complete?"
"Yeah!" Liu Zheng nodded.
Lin Xiaoxue frowned in thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Actually, Liu Zheng, I’ve always wanted to ask you something!"
"Go ahead!" Liu Zheng said.
"Do you like me?" Lin Xiaoxue asked, staring directly into Liu Zheng’s eyes.
Liu Zheng was slightly startled, a tinge of embarrassment showing on his face.
"Hehe, looks like I guessed correctly, you really do like me!" Lin Xiaoxue said with a light smile.
"I don’t like you!" Liu Zheng hurriedly explained, "I just think, since our families are old acquaintances, and you are deeply affectionate towards me, let’s try being together for a while. I never planned on marrying you right now!"
"Really?" Lin Xiaoxue asked.
"Yeah!" Liu Zheng nodded firmly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxue let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you!" Lin Xiaoxue said.
Liu Zheng smiled, "Thank me for what? I should be thanking you, after all, you are a super beauty. If it was someone else, I would have kicked them out long ago, let alone date them!"
"Hmph! Smooth talker!" Lin Xiaoxue gave a charming complaint, "Hurry up and wash up, it will be ready soon!"
"All right!" Liu Zheng chuckled and then stood up to head towards the bathroom.
Lin Xiaoxue watched Liu Zheng’s disappearing figure, her face breaking into a sweet smile.
She was very happy with this life!
Lin Xiaoxue made three dishes and a soup, which were West Lake Vinegar Fish, Spicy Shredded Potatoes, and Kung Pao Chicken.
"Have a taste, my cooking isn’t bad, right?" Lin Xiaoxue said with a cheerful smile.
"Hmm, it’s okay. You should go rest first. Don’t wear yourself out!"
"Hmm, sure. I’ll take a rest for a while. Call me later in the evening!"
"Hmm, go on!"
...
After dinner, Liu Zheng sat on the sofa, turned on the television, and began to watch the news.
"This is a news report from our station. Recently, the economy of Huaxia has been doing poorly, with frequent disputes arising over living expenses. According to our station’s investigations, there have been many violent incidents in Huaxia lately, all of which originated from the actions of Huaxia officials! According to information from Huaxia’s public security department, they have already obtained enough evidence to take down the officials in one fell swoop and completely eradicate the evil forces in Huaxia!"
Hearing this, Liu Zheng was shocked.
He hadn’t expected that in less than a day, things would have changed so drastically!
Who could have done this?
This question popped up in Liu Zheng’s mind in an instant.
Could it be Lin Xiaoxue’s doing?
But Lin Xiaoxue, despite her petulant and wilful nature, surely wouldn’t do such a thing, right?
Could it be Tang Renjie and Chen Haoran?
The more Liu Zheng thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
With this in mind, Liu Zheng quickly took out his phone and called Lin Xiaoxue.
"Beep... Beep... Beep..."
The phone kept ringing but was never answered.
"Lin Xiaoxue, are you there?" Liu Zheng continued to call, but it still went unanswered.
Just then, Lin Xiaoxue’s call came through.
"Hello! Xiaoxue, where are you now?" asked Liu Zheng.
"I’m at home!"
"At home? Why didn’t you stay and sleep, and ran back home instead?"
"I had to, my mom’s coming back. I must hurry home, or it’ll be terrible if she catches me!"
"I see! Alright then!"
"Just be careful by yourself, and remember to call me after you get home!"
"I know. You better leave now, I’m hanging up!"
"Hmm!"
After hanging up, Liu Zheng’s heart could not calm down for a long time.
"It seems my guess was correct; Lin Xiaoxue is indeed using me," Liu Zheng thought to himself.
"Who exactly is this Lin Xiaoxue?"
"What on earth is she up to?"
...
The next day.
Liu Zheng woke up early in the morning, freshened up, and then prepared to go to work.
"Eh? Why do I feel like I’m some kind of stowaway?" Liu Zheng looked around at his surroundings and mumbled.
Liu Zheng left the residential area and headed for the city government building.
Reaching the city government building, Liu Zheng took the elevator to the top floor office.
"Knock... Knock... Knock..." Liu Zheng gently knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Hearing the voice, Liu Zheng pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxue sitting in the chair, Liu Zheng smiled and said, "How come you’re here so early!"
"My mom’s coming back today, so I came over early. When she arrives, I’ll chat with her and get familiar with the work environment!" Lin Xiaoxue said.
"Won’t you get too tired doing that? How about this: I’ll find you an easier job?"
"No, I like this job. I enjoy watching you work seriously!" Lin Xiaoxue said admiringly.
"You! I just love your stubbornness!" Liu Zheng shook his head and laughed.
Liu Zheng and Lin Xiaoxue sat next to an office desk and started to chat idly.
As they chatted, the conversation turned to the events of the previous night.
"By the way, was it you who saved me last night?" suddenly Liu Zheng, as if remembering something, asked.
"Well, I only found out you lived here last night!" Lin Xiaoxue said.
