"Don’t keep staring at me like that..."

Mo Anna felt his fiery gaze, and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng sighed and then said, touched, "Sister Mo, you’re really too good to me. You’re the first woman who said you’d protect me. It really moved me."

"For your great kindness, I simply have no way to repay you. If you don’t mind, let me offer myself as a gesture of gratitude."

The first half of his words made Mo Anna very happy.

But when she heard the last part, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, "You’re so full of yourself! To even think about offering yourself? Is that how you repay me? You’re clearly just looking to take advantage of me; you’re really not honest!"

"That’s such a huge injustice, how am I not honest?" Xiao Zheng said with an innocent face, "Besides, every time I offer myself to you, aren’t you always quite satisfied in the end?"

Hearing him get more and more outrageous, Mo Anna blushed and quickly sipped before saying, "We’re at the company here, don’t go spouting whatever comes to mind. Be careful it doesn’t reach Mr. Leng’s ears, or he’ll make you kneel on durians when you get home tonight."

"Kneeling on durians is something that will absolutely never happen to me, understood?" Xiao Zheng said proudly, "At home, I always call the shots. Even Ruobing never dares say a word of opposition to me."

Mo Anna rolled her eyes at him, seemingly unwilling to listen to him boast any longer, "You take your time resting here alone, I don’t have the time to sit idly by and chat with you. Cheng Ziwei has already been removed from the list, I need to quickly find a new male lead."

After saying that, she strutted out of the small conference room in high heels like a proud peacock.

Xiao Zheng certainly wouldn’t stay there alone, so he got up and left as well.

When it was time to eat lunch, he appeared in the company cafeteria with Leng Ruobing.

Their arrival once again caused a sensation.

Especially Xiao Zheng, who rarely showed up in the company, becoming like a monkey locked in a zoo, constantly attracting curious and awed gazes.

Only Leng Ruobing, with her overwhelming aura, had no one daring to stare at her.

Fortunately, Xiao Zheng gradually got used to it, and without waiting for Leng Ruobing to speak, he conscientiously went to queue up and got their meals.

As Leng Ruobing ate the meal Xiao Zheng brought back, she slowly asked, "I heard you got into an argument with someone at the company this morning? What exactly happened?"

Although she heard some gossip, she didn’t know the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng began explaining to her.

When she learned that the new male actor signed by the company was the same guy Xiao Zheng beat up the night before, even the usually aloof Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but look surprised, "How could there be such a coincidence?"

"Isn’t that the truth? That kid is just unlucky to provoke me again and again." Xiao Zheng said this and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"I’ve heard from Anna about the filming plan for this movie before," Leng Ruobing said, "But I never imagined that actor Cheng Ziwei would be so poor in character."

"This incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise, revealing his true colors through this," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "Otherwise, signing with a person like that would only mean trouble sooner or later, even if nothing happened today."

Leng Ruobing nodded in agreement, not hiding her distaste for Cheng Ziwei at all.

Xiao Zheng placed a piece of braised pork in her bowl, then said, "Okay, enough with these nauseating topics. This matter, anyway, Sister Mo will continue to follow up on it."

"You should eat more meat, don’t just eat vegetables, you need a balanced diet."

Being cared for by him in front of so many people, Leng Ruobing, though a bit unaccustomed, still felt a bit of sweetness in her heart, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something."

"What is it?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.

Leng Ruobing then said, "Because the company took on a new big project, I’ll be coming to the office regularly the next few days. As for you, you’ll have to tough it out and accompany me to the company."

"So that’s it, no problem at all," Xiao Zheng agreed without hesitation, "I wasn’t planning on going anywhere else anyway, it’s a perfect chance to spend more time with you these days."

"Are you saying these things from the heart?" Leng Ruobing wasn’t quite convinced.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "Of course I mean it, if you don’t believe it, I can tear my heart out for you to see."

Hearing his words, Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but gag a bit, then somewhat reproachfully said, "Can you not say such things while we’re eating? It really spoils the appetite."

"My bad, my bad, but honey, your morning sickness reactions really are getting stronger," Xiao Zheng remarked, "I wonder how much longer before our child is born."

"Soon, I can feel it," Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but touch her belly, her face glowing with a mother’s love, "Our child is also looking forward to coming into this world."

"Then you should make sure to supplement your nutrition before our child’s birth," Xiao Zheng felt moved, placing another piece of meat in her bowl.

Leng Ruobing said no more, and just quietly savored this taste of happiness.

In the following days, Xiao Zheng really kept his promise, acting as Leng Ruobing’s personal driver, responsible for taking her to and from work every day. It was certainly the most diligent period he’s ever had. And his days weren’t boring at all.

Apart from accompanying Leng Ruobing, he mostly stayed in the office playing games. Occasionally taking time to have a meal with Mo Anna. Sometimes meeting with clients, his days were fulfilling and relaxed.

Occasionally living this way, Xiao Zheng actually felt quite content.

He also wanted to spend more time with Leng Ruobing while he had the opportunity.

This went on for a week.

Until Long Qie called, dragging Xiao Zheng back into the bloody conflict of the martial world.

"Something big happened."

Long Qie said on the phone.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng was shocked, and immediately asked, "What’s going on? What exactly happened?"

"The Demon Alliance is completely in chaos!"

Long Qie said in a deep voice.
