Chapter 142 Companion Beast 9



Qingyun is video chatting with that terrifying man again!

After Zhao Bowen left, Zou Minchen's expression immediately softened. He looked at Qingyun's profile, who was engrossed in her work, and after a while, he broke the silence by saying, "It's getting late, time for lunch, hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun glanced at the time and realized it was indeed lunchtime. He picked up his phone and asked his secretary to order food. Although Zou Minchen reminded him, he remained seated at his computer, showing no intention of leaving.

"What are you planning to eat for lunch today?" Zou Minchen asked him.

"Hmm..." Qingyun rested her chin on her phone and thought for a while before reciting a few dish names.

Zou Minchen immediately wrote it down and had someone prepare a late-night snack accordingly. It wasn't intended to be sent to Qingyun, since the two were now separated by an ocean.

He was simply used to eating the same dishes as Qingyun, as if that gave him the feeling of dining with her.

After lunch, Qingyun was going to take a nap and got up to turn off the video.

Zou Minchen hurriedly replied, "I've booked a flight for tomorrow."

"Hmm? What, business?" Qingyun asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I'm going to see you." Zou Minchen chuckled softly. Although Qingyun hadn't reciprocated his feelings yet, their relationship had become much more harmonious. Unfortunately, both of them had plenty of things to do, and even if Zou Minchen was extremely unpredictable, he couldn't just abandon the vast Zou Group to go find Qingyun.

"Oh? That's a pity." Qingyun lowered her eyes, concealing the smile in them.

"What a pity?" Zou Minchen tensed up instantly and leaned closer to the screen.

He instantly considered all the possibilities. Had he been too late? Had Qingyun accepted someone else's advances?

"Unfortunately, I have to go back to China tomorrow." Qingyun finally couldn't help but smile slightly, and then he turned off the video as soon as he finished speaking.

"You... really are..." Zou Minchen relaxed, leaning back in his chair, both amused and exasperated. After a moment's thought, he realized that Qingyun had pulled another prank.

From his recent words, Qingyun could easily guess that Zou Minchen intended to visit him in the United States. He had originally planned to return to China, but he waited until Zou Minchen had worked hard to arrange everything before revealing the news.

"Naughty." Zou Minchen looked at the dark video window, his voice filled with affection.

They knew nothing about Qingyun's return to China.

Xiao Chengzhe is currently preparing for a highly valuable collaboration. After Qingyun left, Xiao's father gradually relinquished power to Xiao Chengzhe, who is now the de facto head of the Xiao family business.

Recently, the Zou family has been preparing to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to develop a batch of vaccines to prevent infection by a virus. A large number of pharmaceutical companies are vying for this opportunity, given the Zou family's immense influence across various sectors; they are a behemoth dominating the entire country. Collaborating with the Zou family is a rare opportunity. It will not only enhance the company's reputation but also allow them to gain wider public recognition.

This is the first major collaboration Xiao Chengzhe has faced since taking power. If he secures this opportunity, Xiao's father will likely officially announce Xiao Chengzhe as the next president of Xiao's Pharmaceuticals, so he has to be cautious.

However, Xiao Chengzhe was not too worried. After all, Xiao's Pharmaceutical was the most promising pharmaceutical company in China, and he also had a relationship with Zou Qiyao. If there were no unexpected events, the opportunity for cooperation would definitely fall into Xiao's hands.

Xiao Chengzhe leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face. He turned around and looked at the bustling street scene of Yancheng below the floor-to-ceiling window, his mood unusually calm.

This was only the beginning of his illustrious life.

As for where Xiao Chengnuo went, Xiao Chengzhe is not worried now, because he is about to get what he wants, while Xiao Chengnuo is destined to have nothing.

Of course, if he saw Xiao Chengnuo again, he wouldn't mind kicking him when he was down.

The post quickly gained popularity after it first appeared. After all, not everyone watched the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, and many onlookers were still caught up in Lin Yuhao's lies. Once the video was released, many people expressed how terrifying the world is, and how one shouldn't blindly take sides, lest they be proven wrong.

Of course, it was also revealed that Lin Yuhao's mother knew about his attempt to kill Qingyun. Besides a group of followers who admired martial arts, Qingyun gained a large following of overly maternal fans. Lin Yuhao, once a rising star in the ancient martial arts world, is now surrounded by online criticism.

The relationship between Nie Chenyuan and Qingyun was widely discussed. Those who said that Qingyun sold her body to avenge her father were ridiculed by their companions and couldn't hold their heads up.

Did Qingyun sell her body? It's more believable now that Nie Chenyuan was after Qingyun's innate talent. But given that both of them are formidable, such talk is rare.

Qingyun, dressed in a well-tailored white suit, came out from the inner room. Seeing Nie Chenyuan scrolling through his phone with a cold expression, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Nie Chenyuan looked up and couldn't take his eyes off him.

This was the first time Qingyun had worn a suit. Usually, Qingyun wore loose white training clothes, but now the suit made his figure look even more upright. What was even more striking was the curve of his back and waistline, which made Nie Chenyuan's mouth go dry.

He flung his phone aside, stood up, and wrapped his arms around Qingyun's alluring waist, pressing her against the full-length mirror and kissing her. Though his actions seemed fierce, they were actually gentle and considerate, making Qingyun feel completely comfortable.

Of course, this was all thanks to Qingyun's training. Nie Chenyuan had experienced being suddenly grabbed by the neck and thrown off the bed while being intimate, or being punched in the lower abdomen while passionately kissing. Over time, he learned his lesson and knew that he had to make sure Qingyun was comfortable.

Panting, Nie Chenyuan parted their lips and gently bit Qingyun's lips again before looking at him with feigned grievance: "Today is supposed to be a celebration of my championship win, so why is everyone focusing on you?"
