Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: You Actually Got Married!
Xiao Zheng is a bit amused and helpless.
This woman really is the type to turn against people easily.
Xiao Zheng takes the money, doesn’t bother counting it, and casually stuffs it into his pocket.
Even though Xiao Zheng isn’t short of money, since there’s a beautiful woman accompanying him and some money to be made, why not take it?
"I’ll be off now." Xiao Zheng stood up, tidied his clothes, and said to the woman.
The woman nodded slightly. Just when he was about to leave the room, the woman suddenly called out, "My name is Liu Han Yan, what’s yours?"
"Xiao Zheng." Xiao Zheng left his name, closed the door, and quickly exited the hotel.
"Xiao Zheng... heh, quite an interesting guy." Liu Han Yan murmured, turned around, and looked at the large damp patch on the bed with a slight blush on her cheeks.
Guess last night really was pretty wild.
Back home, he saw Leng Ruobing was tidying up, already dressed and ready.
"Going out?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Where did you go last night?" Leng Ruobing’s expression clouded as soon as she saw Xiao Zheng, clearly displeased with him not coming home last night.
"Uh... wasn’t in a good mood, went out drinking." Xiao Zheng touched his nose and said casually.
"Not in a good mood?" Leng Ruobing was confused: "Why?"
Leng Ruobing felt frustrated, they spent the whole day together yesterday, and he claims to have been in a bad mood?
"Nothing much, what are you doing?" Xiao Zheng waved his hand to change the subject.
"You just came back, so come with me, I’m meeting a client today, very important." Leng Ruobing said, tossing the car keys to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng was indifferent, took the car keys, and nodded.
On the way, Leng Ruobing gave directions to Xiao Zheng, and they soon arrived at the destination.
But...
This place looks familiar!
Xiao Zheng looked around and was shocked, wasn’t this the hotel where he had his romp last night?
"This is it, let’s get out." Leng Ruobing said to Xiao Zheng without questioning.
It seemed like Leng Ruobing was still a bit cold towards him today due to last night’s absence.
As soon as they got out of the car, Xiao Zheng suddenly saw Liu Han Yan at the hotel entrance, craning her neck and looking around. His face changed slightly, and he quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.
But just then, Leng Ruobing suddenly shouted, "There you are, Han Yan, here here!"
Han Yan? Liu Han Yan?
Oh no, such a coincidence!
Xiao Zheng’s mind was roaring.
Liu Han Yan saw Leng Ruobing, her eyes lit up, hurried over, and gave Leng Ruobing a big hug, then laughed and asked, "I heard you got married but haven’t met your husband yet. Is he here today?"
"Of course, he’s here." Leng Ruobing said proudly with a smile, both turned to look at Xiao Zheng.
But all they saw was Xiao Zheng’s back.
"Xiao Zheng, what are you doing?" Leng Ruobing asked curiously.
"Xiao Zheng?" Liu Han Yan paused, the name sounded familiar, and before she could react, Xiao Zheng had already turned around.
Xiao Zheng! Liu Han Yan’s heart skipped a beat, eyes wide with disbelief.
Xiao Zheng let out a nervous laugh and greeted, "Hello."
"Hello." Liu Han Yan forced herself to stay calm and nodded in response.
Both of their hearts were in turmoil, how could such a coincidence happen in this world!
This Liu Han Yan, as it turned out, was the client Leng Ruobing mentioned, since Liu Han Yan had some business relationship with Leng Ruobing’s Qianqiu Group. Beyond that, they were also best friends!
Having been abroad for a while, she had just returned to the country, not expecting this peculiar event with Xiao Zheng before meeting Leng Ruobing.
This... spelled awkwardness in capital letters!
"You actually got married." Liu Han Yan said with a peculiar expression.
"Speak for yourself, you got married too." Leng Ruobing retorted, unconvinced.
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, realizing Liu Han Yan was married too, relieved to some extent, less guilty now.
They were all married, and strictly speaking, Liu Han Yan had instigated last night’s affair, so how could it all be blamed on him?
"Let’s go back to the company instead of standing around." Leng Ruobing suggested.
The three returned to the company, sat in Leng Ruobing’s office; Leng Ruobing seemed fine, but the other two felt awkward.
For Xiao Zheng, his wife was beside him, while across was someone with whom he had a one-night affair, and to cap it off, the three of them were managing peaceful coexistence!
And for Liu Han Yan, even though Leng Ruobing was her best friend, how could she have slept with her friend’s husband!
This...
"What are you two doing, why aren’t you talking?" Leng Ruobing asked, confused.
Xiao Zheng wasn’t surprising; he had always been laid-back, but Liu Han Yan seemed strange after not seeing her for so long.
"Nothing really, probably didn’t sleep well last night." Liu Han Yan fibbed, but just after speaking, her expression turned stranger; it was indeed a sleepless night, a wild night of passion that kept them awake!
Xiao Zheng also let out a couple of dry laughs, saying nothing.
Leng Ruobing didn’t suspect anything, glanced at her phone for the time, and said to them, "Wait here for a bit, I have a meeting, won’t take long."
"Okay, you go ahead." Liu Han Yan nodded and said.
Leng Ruobing turned to Xiao Zheng: "Han Yan is my best friend, you better take good care of her, don’t neglect her."
Xiao Zheng nodded seriously, though finding it amusing, he’d already taken care of her last night, on the bed no less.
Whether this counts as taking care for Leng Ruobing is debatable.
After saying that, Leng Ruobing left the office.
Only Xiao Zheng and Liu Han Yan were left in the office.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, neither spoke, and the silence gradually made the atmosphere oppressive.
Suddenly, Liu Han Yan smacked the table hard, making a loud thud.
"You bastard, you’re my best friend’s husband?!"
Liu Han Yan was fuming; last night’s one-night stand didn’t matter with whom, but under no circumstances should it be with her best friend’s husband.
If found out, it would be a disaster!
Xiao Zheng looked at Liu Han Yan, curled his lips, and said, "Beautiful lady, it’s a long story, but we shouldn’t discuss this now."
"What do you want to discuss then? Just say it, how much do you want to keep quiet about this?" Liu Han Yan questioned, glaring at him, determined not to let this affair become public.
"Sorry, money is just a number to me." Xiao Zheng shrugged, speaking casually.
"Then what do you want?" Liu Han Yan asked.
"I want nothing; didn’t you say? That matter’s over, we don’t know each other, today’s our first meeting."
