Chapter 17 After tossing and turning for most of the night, Xia Yu fell asleep almost at dawn. When he woke up, it was already noon.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Xia Yu fell asleep almost at dawn. When he woke up, it was already noon.
After Xia Yu finished washing up, she crept on the handrail on the third floor and glanced at the restaurant below. Seeing no trace of Chen Zheng, she breathed a sigh of relief, coughed lightly, straightened her back, and walked down the stairs leisurely.
Yes, Chen Zheng should go to work at this time.
She wasn't afraid of Chen Zheng, she was just... just...
Humph, Xia Yu wrinkled his nose, snorted coldly, bit the bread viciously, chewed with his mouth puffed out, intending to mistake it for Chen Zheng's arm.
She had never been beaten like this since she was a child, and she would never forgive her.
Absolutely not.
The system looked at Xia Yu, whose expression kept changing, with a puzzled look on its face. After it slapped the protagonist in the face and watched the host escape successfully, it turned off the screen and went off work. It had no idea what happened next.
The system, which had just clocked in and seemed to have missed something, rolled its eyes and shouted curiously, "Host, host, what happened last night? The villain wasn't angry, was he?"
Xia Yu's body stiffened when she heard that. Little Xia Yu pushed away the little blue ball that was close to her cheek, puffed out her cheeks and pointed her butt towards the system.
As the system kept pursuing her, Xiao Xiayu pouted, kicked the ground with her toes, and complained to the system aggrievedly: "Chen Zheng bullied me."
"What! The villain actually bullies the host. She is too bad."
The system suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Xia Yu and scolded the villain in indignation.
"Although the host sneaked out without informing anyone, making it easy for them to find him. Although the host dared to challenge the protagonist who had more people than him without bringing anyone with him. Although the situation last night was very dangerous and the host was almost shot... However, these are not the reasons why the villain bullied the host."
"Host, let's ignore her, she's a bad person."
Every time the blue little Tongzi said something, Xia Yu's face stiffened a little. In the end, although the system was scolding Chen Zheng, Xia Yu's head lowered lower and lower, and finally drooped down dejectedly.
It seems that there is something wrong with her too.
As the little princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, Xia Yu is noble, proud, and face-conscious. But she is also reasonable.
She mumbled a few nice words about Chen Zheng. The system thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Look at it this way, the villain isn't that bad. Host, let's forgive her a little bit."
Hmm, as if finding a step, little Xia Yu raised his little head and nodded seriously.
Since both of us are wrong, then I will... forgive her a little bit, just a little bit.
"Xia Yu." A familiar voice floated into her ears.
Xia Yu suddenly raised his head. It was Chen Zheng! She didn't go to the company.
Xia Yu suddenly jumped up, subconsciously took a step back, then remembered something, and proudly puffed out his chest, snorted, folded his hands in front of his chest, and turned his head away proudly. He only forgave her a little bit, and he hasn't forgiven her yet.
"Xia Yu." Chen Zheng called out softly again, the sound was clear and a little hoarse, like the sound of a mountain spring hitting rocks, lingering in Xia Yu's ears.
Xia Yu blinked, but finally couldn't help but looked back at her.
Chen Zheng was wearing a transparent white shirt, which perfectly outlined her straight shoulders, with neat and smooth lines, revealing a bit of heroism. Her long black hair was casually scattered around her waist.
The neckline is slightly open, casually revealing the white collarbone, and a few rays of light pass through the transparent fabric just right, outlining the vague outline of the abdomen. The carelessness is particularly seductive.
Xia Yu opened his big round eyes and looked down along her delicate collarbone to her slightly bulging abdominal muscles.
As if she felt something was not right, Xia Yu pursed her lips, but she couldn't take her eyes off him, as if they were glued to him.
A smile flashed across Chen Zheng's eyes, and she slowly raised her hands to roll up her sleeves. As she did so, her shirt naturally stuck to her waist, revealing a small section of her tight belly. The half-covered look was like a cat toy, attracting Xia Yu's eyes to follow the hem of her shirt up and down.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Chen Zheng asked knowingly with a chuckle, waving her slender fingers in front of her eyes.
"I wasn't in a daze." Xia Yu felt a heat rising to her cheeks, and she retorted with her neck stiff.
Seeing Chen Zheng appear in front of her as if nothing had happened, she snorted coldly, sat back on the chair, turned her head to the side, and hummed without saying a word.
Chen Zheng shook his head helplessly, took a step forward, the muscles on his arms bulged slightly, and at Xia Yu's exclamation, he dragged the chair directly to her side.
She put her hands on the handles on the edge of the chair, circled Xia Yu between herself and the chair, leaned forward slightly, but restrained herself to keep her cheek a few feet away from Xia Yu.
When Xia Yu was about to explode, Chen Zheng half-knelt down and looked straight at Xia Yu. Her eyelids trembled slightly, and under her relaxed brows, her eyes were a warm black, like mellow chocolate, emitting a hint of warmth.
She said softly, "I'm sorry, I was too excited last night. I couldn't control myself for a moment. You have reason to be angry with me."
"But" Chen Zheng paused, her light eyebrows gathered instantly, and the originally soft corners of her eyes drooped slightly, making her look serious and solemn.
"This doesn't mean that I agree with your approach, nor does it mean that your approach is correct. Both of us are wrong, and we should calm down and have a good talk, right?"
After Shen Zheng's rational analysis, Xia Yu pursed his lips and lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head again, her dark eyes full of sincerity, and she said to Shen Zheng crisply:
"In fact, I was also wrong. I shouldn't have run out without telling you and made you worry. I shouldn't have taken the risk without any preparation and almost gave my life to the enemy. I shouldn't have..." Xia Yu paused, feeling inexplicably ashamed, but she still blushed and whispered, "Say you have no right to control me."
"Chen Zheng, we are even. So, let's make peace." After admitting his mistake, the kid said this as a matter of course, and then looked at Chen Zheng with sparkling eyes.
The proud little phoenix can hold her head high to accept her honor, or she can lower her head to admit her mistakes. This does not affect her dignity, but adds to it.
Chen Zheng looked at Xia Yu in surprise and raised her eyebrows. When did they become bad? They had always been very good friends.
Xia Yu, who had bowed her head to admit her mistakes after a long time of hard work, was a little anxious when she saw Chen Zheng remained silent. She wrinkled her nose, raised her head proudly, and said domineeringly: "I have admitted my mistakes. You are not allowed to be angry with me again. Let's make peace."
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Chen Zheng's expression with her seemingly spoiled eyes.
Chen Zheng was amused by her and chuckled. She shook her head, tapped her chest lightly with her slender fingers, and said softly: "I'm not angry. Chen Zheng won't be angry with Xia Yu."
Seeing Xia Yu blinking blankly, as if in a daze, Chen Zheng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled triumphantly.
She loosened her grip on the handle of the chair and subconsciously opened her arms, wanting to hug Xia Yu in her arms, but she restrained herself.
When she was not clear about her own feelings, she could still get close to her instinctively.
But now, looking at the little princess who knew nothing but looked at her with full trust, as if she would not harm anyone who did something bad to her, could she still do it?
What's the difference between what you say and what you do and taking advantage of a kid?
Yes, she had been in the Shen family since she was a child, and she was never a gentleman. She had seen all kinds of insidious means, and even used some of them. She was just a little better than those old guys in the Shen family.
But she is different, she is Xia Yu. She is the person she likes, she is a proud little phoenix, born to fly in the nine states.
Chen Zheng, who has always been in a high position and has the final say, has naturally restrained all his minions and tied his hands and feet, even though he has never been in love.
The mighty and majestic dragon spread its wings and flew towards the princess on the ground. In front of it, the princess looked extremely small and insignificant.
The dragon stretched out its huge claws like mountains, spread out its five claws, and pressed towards the princess in a dark manner. But when it was about to touch her, it released all its strength and gently tapped the little princess' head with its fingertips, doting and gentle.
In the end, Chen Zheng just rubbed her head with restraint.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, and he didn't even know why.
Didn't she and Shen Zheng reconcile? Why did it feel like they were even more distant? If it were normal, she should be... in Shen Zheng's arms at this time.
She would put her head on Shen Zheng's shoulder and rub it coquettishly, with the faint sandalwood scent of Shen Zheng floating on her nose...
Qin Ying came to Chen Zheng's office with a stack of documents as usual, and found that Chen Zheng was unexpectedly not at his seat.
She tidied the bookshelf behind her expressionlessly, and threw books such as "Parent-Child Education", "How to Get Along with Stepchildren", "One Hundred Ways to Build a Good Relationship with Children", etc., along with the bookshelves containing them, into the trash can outside the office building. It seemed that she thought they were quite unlucky.
Oh my god, the sun is rising from the west, and Mr. Shen has finally come to his senses.
Qin Ying tried hard to keep a straight face, and her face turned red from trying to hold back a smile.
After doing all these things, Chen Zheng stared at her expressionlessly for several times. Traitorous ministers, they are all traitorous ministers. Traitorous ministers have misled me.
Thinking of the stupid things he had done these days, Chen Zheng rubbed his swollen eyebrows with a headache and twitched the corners of his mouth. What was going on?
She seemed to remember something and dug out the consultation she had posted online a few months ago.
She carefully searched through the comments about mother-daughter relationships and communication experiences. After reading thousands of them, she liked the comment about stepmother's literature.
Then he logged off the Internet leisurely, not realizing how much of a stir his action had caused online.
