Sun Chaoqun's mother thought I was doing this because of her, and quickly said:
"Engineer Zheng! You have to distinguish between public and private matters! I offended you by asking you to help me find a daughter-in-law, but you can't retaliate against us for this!"
"Even if it weren't for your situation, I wouldn't hire someone without an assessment. Tell your son to go back and prepare properly!"
The mother and son looked at each other. Sun Chaoqun's mother wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She could only leave with her son in a dejected manner.
As soon as they left, Nangong Xi handed me the box: "This is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Engineer Ge was stunned for a moment; she couldn't quite understand our relationship.
"No matter how valuable it is, it's a gift, and I just want to give it to you."
"But!"
"No buts, everyone has one. Besides, I didn't buy it."
I pushed the box back.
I think she understood what I meant by "everyone".
"Then please accept it! It's a token of Zheng's appreciation."
Engineer Ge chimed in from the side, but she didn't notice what I meant by "everyone".
"But...but!"
"Kid! If you feel bad about it, go see a movie and have a meal with Engineer Zheng. Go ahead!"
Wow! Engineer Ge understands my thoughts so perfectly.
"cocoa……"
"Go away, go away!" Engineer Ge pushed us out directly.
Nangong Xi came out but didn't say anything, looking conflicted.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to come out with me?"
"No, no! I am... I am..."
"What is it? If you want to come out with me, what are you talking about? Let's go!"
I pulled Nangong Xi into the car.
I'm taking her to see a movie, but in a small private box.
As soon as I entered, I couldn't wait to hug her.
Before Nangong Xi could speak, I covered her mouth with mine.
"Ugh!" Nangong Xi finally left me, which surprised me a bit.
Don't you miss me? Or do you not like it here?
"No, no!"
Nangong Xi blushed again: "I'm on my period today."
Holy crap!
Now it's my turn to feel embarrassed.
"What I was trying to say was that I was not available. My mom finally let me out, and I didn't want to spoil your fun."
I gave a wry smile. I did want to do *that* with her, but it's not like I need it every time.
"I want to save the chance to be with you... with you..."
Nangong Xi couldn't continue speaking and lowered her head, which made me even more itchy.
"Silly girl!" I hugged her as we sat on the sofa.
"Come on! Let's watch a movie."
I said, taking the snacks and handing them to her.
"Oh, oh!" Nangong Xi took the snacks but didn't really watch the movie properly. She glanced at it for a couple of seconds and then turned to look at me.
"What's wrong?"
Nangong Xi was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
I think she's acting weird.
I pulled her into my arms: "You don't like watching this movie?"
I chose a war movie, all fighting and killing, which women probably don't really like to watch, right?
"Can you really hold back? Actually, I can do it in other ways too."
"Other methods?"
...
I didn't really watch the movie, mainly because Nangong Xi's other methods were too amazing.
I never expected that a beauty like Nangong Xi would be willing to do that for me.
After watching the movie, I treated Nangong Xi to dinner, and I only took her home in the afternoon.
When I returned to the base, I saw a group of people gathered at the base entrance.
There were not only people, but also police cars.
The security guard ran out: "Mr. Zheng!"
"What happened?"
"There was a foreigner who said he wanted to challenge President Peng and blocked the doorway and wouldn't leave."
"What the hell?" Are you crazy?! What era are we living in? Still doing challenges?
"I'll go take a look!" Damn it, Nangong Xi was in a good mood, but now this has happened.
After tossing my car keys to the security guard, I squeezed into the crowd.
A foreigner dressed in black sat cross-legged there, ignoring the police no matter how they tried to talk to him.
The police couldn't do anything about him.
Having a foreign face is really an advantage! If this were a person from Great Xia, they probably would have been taken away by now, right?
This place is quite nice; they're still discussing it there.
I even pushed the police aside: "You think you can challenge General Peng?"
The foreigner opened his eyes: "That's right! Peng Jun is a fraud; he shouldn't have such a great reputation."
My master is the true inheritor of martial arts; he should be the chief instructor of your army.
What does that mean? Was this foreigner trained by the people of Great Xia?
Who is your master?
"And who are you?"
"I am Peng Jun's apprentice!"
The foreigner immediately became interested: "Great!"
The foreigner stood up abruptly. He was over 1.9 meters tall, and with his broad shoulders and thick waist, he gave off a sense of intimidation.
Even the people next to them couldn't help but step back.
"I'll teach Peng Jun's apprentice a lesson first, then I'll teach him a lesson."
What a boastful tone: "I think you're asking for trouble."
We were about to start fighting when a young policeman shouted, "No street fights allowed!"
"What private fight! This is a martial arts contest."
"No matter what it is, you can't fight in the street."
Damn it! If you can't control me, fine, I'll do it myself!
The foreigner didn't care about any of that; he got into a fighting stance and threw a punch at my face.
I dodged and grabbed his hand: "See? He's the one who did it."
"Then you are not allowed to lay a hand on me."
I was arguing with the police when the foreigner suddenly kicked me aside.
That kick was really powerful; I even felt the pain.
