My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1655: Are You Peeping on Me?
Catherine was taken aback: "Me?"
"Yes, you." Everyone nodded.
"You guys think I have a close relationship with the Evil God?" Catherine glanced oddly at everyone.
"Not that close." Long Qie frankly denied, with a slightly teasing look, he said calmly, "But you are indeed the most suitable candidate."
Catherine snorted coldly, her face turning a bit green from Long Qie’s provocation.
Her relationship with Xiao Zheng was ambiguous, this was her one-sided interpretation, or maybe she was flattering herself.
As for how Xiao Zheng viewed her, she wasn’t sure, but he likely didn’t have any such interest in her.
So now, her making moves would seem...
At this thought, Catherine blushed for once, then softly coughed, leaned back, and pouted, "Why should I? It’s not like I can’t get married, why hang onto that bastard?"
Everyone exchanged smiles, Bai Mudan’s eyes filled with an ambiguous grin, she put an arm around Catherine’s fragrant shoulder and whispered something in her ear.
As they talked, the thick-skinned Catherine surprisingly blushed like a young girl, her eyes filling with ripple waves, even a bit of shyness, making everyone’s jaws drop in surprise.
Even the always composed Titan was now looking at the woman who harassed him daily with some surprise, thinking: I never expected this woman to have such a girly side.
After Bai Mudan finished speaking, she showed a triumphant smile and sat back down, her eyes playfully glancing towards the restless Catherine.
"What did you tell her..." Titan looked at the speechless Catherine with surprise, leaned over towards Bai Mudan and asked.
"Nothing, nothing, you guys shouldn’t pry into women’s secrets." Bai Mudan chuckled and pushed Titan away, then gave a mischievous smile and patted Catherine on the shoulder, saying, "So, my little beauty, are you going to do it or not?"
"I, I..." Catherine looked flustered, her speech faltering.
Evil Eyes glanced at her, clicking his tongue, impatiently, "Stop dawdling, are you in or out? Give us a straight answer!"
Catherine: ...
...
The next day, at the ancestral home of the Yuan Family.
Xiao Zheng woke up early, he hadn’t slept all night, Long Qie’s words before leaving kept circling in his mind. From the moment he woke up on the beach, he considered himself a new person, a new life, not to be bound by the past.
But to others, he was still himself, both now and in the past, that was Xiao Zheng.
The person he once was now seemed so foreign to him, it’s said that one’s personality never changes until death, but hasn’t he basically died once now?
Then why do I still need to bear the burden of the past?
Sigh... He let out a long sigh, staring at the ancient courtyard, momentarily speechless.
In his heart, the past didn’t hold that much weight, but "affection" was still the most cherished thing to him.
If past friends, family, even lovers stood before him, what choice should he make...
Whoosh!
While Xiao Zheng was lost in thought, a stone suddenly whizzed past his ear, he furrowed his brows, raising his right hand to catch it, closing his grip tightly, he found a smooth pebble in his hand.
Such a strike was heavy, an ordinary person might not have caught it.
It was evident the person who threw it was skilled with hidden weapons, perhaps not highly trained, but Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but admire their skill with such unconventional methods.
However, looking for trouble with him so early in the morning, no matter how much he admired the person’s technique, he couldn’t feel in a good mood, as he shook his head and vanished from his spot. Then a gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, he landed quietly behind Catherine, who was peering in from outside the wall.
A woman?
A blonde foreigner...
Xiao Zheng shook his head helplessly, stood behind her without making a sound, quietly observing her reaction.
After Catherine tossed the stone, she quickly pulled her head back. Although Xiao Zheng had never laid a hand on her, as the intelligence controller of Sky Net, she had a pretty good idea of her superior’s strength.
She could only think, if he caught her, what should she say first?
Yell at him? But does she plan to keep her job...
Fight him? She wouldn’t win anyway...
Kidnap the woman hidden in his room, then threaten him with a knife to regain his memory? If she dared do that, she’d probably be the first to get skinned alive...
Sigh... Such a hassle, if she knew how tangled this would be, she would never have let that little vixen Bai Mudan coax her into taking this solo mission!
Realizing this, she felt even more frustrated.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to come, but she didn’t think it necessary, because Xiao Zheng had already lost his memory, so her being here probably wouldn’t have much effect.
Xiao Zheng stood behind her, watching her expressions shift and twist with amusement. To have someone this awkward trying to ambush him was a first for him.
Moreover, from her words, it seemed like this woman and those three brothers from yesterday belonged to the same gang.
With this in mind, Xiao Zheng’s expression grew more peculiar.
Did they think if three men couldn’t handle him, they’d send a woman?
Am I the kind of person who easily loses control?
He shook his head, noticing Catherine still peeking in, but not daring to look for long, each time just a glance before quickly retreating, like a frightened fox, on edge.
Am I really that scary?
He shook his head, a teasing smile tugging at his lips, he cleared his throat and calmly said, "Hey, you’ve been looking inside for a while now, did you lose something or do you have a crush on the man inside?"
"Uh!" Catherine was startled by the sudden voice from behind, jumping like a startled cat, looking in terror at Xiao Zheng who was smiling somewhat mockingly at her.
"Why, surprised? Aren’t you here to see me?" Xiao Zheng crossed his arms, the mockery in his eyes growing, finding this girl’s reaction utterly adorable.
Catherine stared at Xiao Zheng, her face green, pouted, snorted coldly, trying hard to conceal her inner turmoil, replied coolly, "Who said I’m here to see you, I... I was just, just, um..."
Xiao Zheng said nothing, his lips curved in a smile, looking at Catherine with an expression that said "let’s see how you continue faking it."
Seeing Xiao Zheng’s expression, Catherine’s inner anger bubbled, snorting coldly.
Ever since Xiao Zheng married Leng Ruobing, Catherine had felt uncomfortable around him, because she had done so much for him!
Yet he didn’t choose her, how upsetting...
