Chapter 223 Standoff



As she was deep in thought, the door was suddenly opened.

Qiao Zhen was startled and couldn't help but take a step back, but Lu Zheng grabbed her.

"Standing outside my door eavesdropping, huh? What are you so afraid of?"

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen felt like she had been exposed and couldn't help but blush.

"I...I didn't. I was planning to go in and find you, but I found you were angry inside, so I thought I'd wait."

Qiao Zhen stammered her explanation, her eyes darting around aimlessly, avoiding looking at Lu Zheng's face.

"Heh." Lu Zheng couldn't help but chuckle, putting his arm around Qiao Zhen's waist and leading her into the office.

Lu Zheng moved quickly, and Qiao Zhen almost fell because she lost her balance. She could only hold on to Lu Zheng's clothes tightly.

"You...you did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Qiao Zhen glared at Lu Zheng, only to see Lu Zheng smile smugly: "Yeah, you guessed it."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen rolled her eyes at him, only to find Lu Zheng laughing freely and holding her even tighter.

“I’m just that blatant.”

Qiao Zhen was speechless at Lu Zheng's words, but that was just how Lu Zheng always was.

"Do you... really believe me?"

Qiao Zhen suddenly asked.

She felt the hand holding her stiffen noticeably, and then Lu Zheng's voice rang out: "Mm."

Although it was only a single word, it stirred up a powerful force deep within Qiao Zhen's heart.

"Really?" Qiao Zhen asked again, still unwilling to give up.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qiaozhen suddenly turned Qiaozhen's face back with his large hands, forcing her to look at Lu Zheng.

"You..." Qiao Zhen blinked sharply, not understanding what he wanted to do, when Lu Zheng's lips rained down on her.

Lu Zhen's kiss was heavy and urgent, giving Qiao Zhen no chance to catch her breath. Qiao Zhen blushed and gasped for breath as he kissed her.

"Hmm..."

Qiao Zhen managed to utter a single word, only to have it immediately covered by Lu Zhen's lips.

After a long while, Lu Zheng finally left Qiao Zhen's mouth with satisfaction, then licked his lips and looked at Qiao Zhen with great relish.

"It tastes good."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen exploded: "Aren't you disgusting? You pervert!"

"What's wrong? It's not like we've kissed before."

Lu Zheng seemed completely unconcerned, finding Qiao Zhen's exasperated state rather amusing.

Qiao Zhen pouted and decided not to argue with Lu Zheng, since she had a purpose in returning to the company this time.

"I went back to the company this time because I wanted to..."

Halfway through her sentence, Qiao Zhen suddenly couldn't continue. She pursed her lips and froze on the spot.

Lu Zheng glanced back at her, and seeing her conflicted expression, he seemed to understand what she wanted to do.

"Do whatever you want."

To Qiao Zhen's surprise, Lu Zheng agreed very quickly.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen was stunned. After a moment of stunned silence, she asked in great confusion, "You actually agreed?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Lu Zheng simply smiled indifferently: "Qiao Zhen, I've said before that you'll never escape my grasp in this lifetime. No matter where you run to, you can only be mine."

"Then why did you still..." Qiao Zhen murmured.

"Because I have enough confidence that I can bring you back."

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen lowered her head.

Because she knew that if Lu Zheng said that, it was probably true.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Although that's what she thought, Qiao Zhen remembered the agreement she had made with Gu Xijue, so she reluctantly nodded.

"Then I wish you all the best."

After he finished speaking, Lu Zheng stared at Qiao Zhen, making Qiao Zhen's whole body tingle with goosebumps.

"OK."

Qiao Zhen nodded, though she hadn't yet fully grasped the deeper meaning behind Lu Zheng's words.

After saying that, Qiao Zhen turned around and left the office, then went to her workstation to start organizing the documents.

She needs to organize all the documents and then hand them over to the relevant personnel.

"Oh dear, so you're planning to run away? You've already found another job, haven't you?"

Qiao Yun's voice came through, carrying a hint of sourness.

Hearing such a sarcastic voice, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but frown, and then said without looking up.

"It seems to have nothing to do with you, Ms. Qiao. You should just focus on doing your job."

Seeing that Qiao Zhen wasn't angry at all, Qiao Yun couldn't help but snort coldly and stomped her high heels next to Qiao Zhen.

"You little bitch, don't be too smug. Let me tell you, you might be lucky to escape this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

"I'm sorry." Qiao Zhen suddenly stood up and looked directly into Qiao Yun's eyes.

Qiao Zhen's eyes were like a deep, unfathomable lake; just one glance from them seemed to deter anyone from looking at them, as if they were deterred by their unfathomable depths.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but take two steps back: "What do you want to do?"

"You're blocking the way, please move aside."

Qiao Zhen smiled and saw Qiao Yun subconsciously make way for her. Seeing this, Qiao Zhen still had a faint smile on her face and walked past Qiao Yun.

After Qiao Zhen left, Qiao Yun finally came to her senses and realized that she had been taken advantage of in this round, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"You little bitch, don't be so smug for long, you'll get what's coming to you later!"

However, Qiao Zhen did not hear these words, and instead took the documents to the supervisor.

Seeing that Qiao Zhen looked like she was about to leave, the supervisor hesitated to speak.

"Qiao Zhen, I've seen all the hard work you've done for the company these past few days. You really don't need to care what others say about you..."
