[230. For your own good]
"Ah?" Cheng Qingxing was stunned for a moment, looking at Zheng Xuhe's back, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Zheng Xuhe washed the last bowl, then dried his hands, looked at him seriously and said, "When I came back yesterday, I found that the gate of the community was full of paparazzi. With your current status, this community doesn't seem to be very safe for you."
"Actually it's okay, I feel--" Cheng Qingxing wanted to explain himself, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn't say anything that was particularly against his will.
Cheng Qingxing sighed and changed his tone, saying, "Forget it."
"What do you mean by forget it?" Zheng Xuhe didn't quite understand what he meant. "Does it mean just moving away?"
"No." Cheng Qingxing walked out of the kitchen slowly, and Zheng Xuhe followed him.
The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room, one in front and one behind, ready to have a good chat.
"I'm a little reluctant." Cheng Qingxing confessed directly.
This home has many traces of his life and many memories of the two of them, so he has always been reluctant to leave.
Cheng Qingxing has always been a very nostalgic person, and there are many things he can't let go of.
"I know what you're thinking." Zheng Xuhe picked up his mobile phone and secretly glanced at the time. He still had half an hour to talk to him, so he had to make things clear to him right away.
"But this neighborhood is really a bit chaotic. If paparazzi can come in, then illegitimate fans can come in too."
Zheng Xuhe was not afraid of paparazzi. After all, Cheng Qingxing lived a very clean life and basically there was nothing that could be photographed.
He was afraid that the previous kidnapping incident would happen again, which would be terrible.
Cheng Qingxing didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, seeming to be hesitating.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
When Zheng Xuhe said this, the living room suddenly became quiet.
Cheng Qingxing looked up at him, and Zheng Xuhe pursed his lips subconsciously. In fact, he knew very well that this was the word Cheng Qingxing hated to hear the most.
"I'm doing this for your own good" is something a parent would say to a child, with the idea of doing it for your own good, and then doing things according to their own ideas.
"I...um...it's just...eh..." Zheng Xuhe didn't say a word for a long time, and finally stopped talking.
"I know." Cheng Qingxing responded. He knew what Zheng Xuhe meant. "But, I still can't let it go."
Cheng Qingxing glanced around the house and said, "I have lived in this place for too long. Everything has the flavor of my life. It is too difficult for me to leave like this. I can't do it."
Zheng Xuhe sighed, then said softly: "Last night, I not only saw the paparazzi, I also saw Yan Shenghui."
When Yan Shenghui was mentioned, Cheng Qingxing's expression changed instantly. He looked at Zheng Xuhe and asked tentatively, "How did you meet him?"
"I didn't meet him. I saw it on the paparazzi's phone." Zheng Xuhe sighed, "He's here to bother you again, right?"
"It's okay, we just had a little quarrel." Cheng Qingxing said with a smile, "Some words affected my mood, so when you came back, you saw a messy house."
He was afraid that Zheng Xuhe would think too much, so he explained why the house was so messy last night.
"He didn't do anything to me."
Zheng Xuhe kept staring at his face and didn't say anything.
Cheng Qingxing felt a little flustered by his stare, so he stood up silently and walked to the side, "You should be going to work, right?"
"There are actually marks on your face. He did it, right?" Zheng Xuhe's tone left no room for denial.
"Yeah." Cheng Qingxing sighed and looked back at him with a helpless expression. To be honest, he didn't want to lie to him. "But I fought back, so we're even."
Zheng Xuhe was amused by his words. He leaned back on the sofa, looked at him lazily and asked, "Are you still competitive like this?"
"No!" Cheng Qingxing saw him smile, and his tone suddenly became much more relaxed, "That's how I felt. The hit I made on him was much heavier than when he hit me."
"Is it really much heavier?" Zheng Xuhe asked him with a smile.
"Of course!" Cheng Qingxing said confidently, "I even kicked him, which made his face red with anger. After that, I also..."
Cheng Qingxing talked about what he did yesterday. Although there were many exaggerations, he successfully made Zheng Xuhe laugh.
Zheng Xuhe interrupted his chatter: "Let's not talk about yesterday, let's just talk about what's happening now."
"Hmm?" Cheng Qingxing asked in a puzzled tone, "Aren't we chatting now?"
"Let's get back to the original topic." Zheng Xuhe knew he was trying to change the subject. "Yan Shenghui has always been a very troublesome person. Now that he can come and go in your community at will, he will definitely cause trouble for you again."
Of course Cheng Qingxing knew this. After all, it was not the first time. The last time he came, it almost cost him his life.
"He's an Alpha. It's actually very difficult for you to resist him."
The gender is there, even if Zheng Xuhe doesn't say it, Cheng Qingxing should understand it.
"If you don't want to move, I understand. You can keep this house." Zheng Xuhe stood up and gave in. "But it might be better for you to live in my house for the time being."
Cheng Qingxing did not answer immediately. He stood there with his hands on the sofa, looking into Zheng Xuhe's eyes.
The two men looked at each other. In fact, he was very clear that Zheng Xuhe meant well and his attitude was not that tough. It was already a concession on his part.
If they were married, they would probably just say, "Let's move to another house."
And his answer should also be: "Sure, whatever you want."
This was how they communicated when they got married, without too many words, basically just things that had been confirmed plus a clear answer.
There has never been such communication and discussion.
"Ring, ring, ring..." Zheng Xuhe's cell phone rang at this time. He picked up the phone and took a look. It was a call from his assistant.
"What's the matter?" he asked coldly, "It's not time for the meeting yet, right?"
It was just past two o'clock, and the assistant would not call him, only send him a message, unless there was an emergency.
"Boss Zheng, the old man came to the company to look for you. He said he wanted to give you the shares directly, but there are conditions. He wants to discuss it with you."
Zheng Xuhe frowned, his face darkened instantly, "Tell him to wait, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Cheng Qingxing and said softly, "There are indeed a lot of things to do in the company. I have to go back early to deal with them."
"It's okay, just go." Cheng Qingxing replied with a smile, "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need you to take care of everything."
"Yeah." Zheng Xuhe nodded, then took his coat and prepared to go out.
Cheng Qingxing sent him to the elevator. When the elevator arrived, Zheng Xuhe glanced at him, hesitated and said, "Think about it. Moving to my place is just for safety reasons. It's not a disrespect to you."
