As if he could see through the woman's anger, Lu Zheng curled his lips into a smile.
"I'm not full yet."
Qiao Zhen pouted and was about to turn around to get him another dish when Lu Zheng suddenly grabbed her.
She lost her balance and fell onto Lu Zheng.
"You really enjoy surprise attacks?"
Seeing the soup stains stuck to Qiao Zhen's clothes, she was annoyed and struggled to get off Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng remained calm and unhurriedly undressed Qiao Zhen, saying, "Your clothes are all dirty, take them off quickly."
Now, Qiao Zhen finally understood Lu Zheng's intentions and blushed with embarrassment at Lu Zheng's roguish aura.
"Are you being really that perverted? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Hearing this, Lu Zheng was not angry. Instead, he leaned closer to Qiao Zhen's cheek and said, "Yes."
For a moment, Qiao Zhen felt ashamed.
"Fine, you're amazing." Qiao Zhen decided to throw caution to the wind and dumped all her dirty clothes on Lu Zheng.
Are you satisfied now?
Looking at his naked appearance, Lu Zheng's eyes turned bloodshot, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily: "No, it's not enough."
Before Qiao Zhen could react, Lu Zheng had already pressed down on her, showering her with kisses like raindrops. Qiao Zhen rarely felt a touch of tenderness from Lu Zheng.
She gradually became immersed in this gentle embrace.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Zhen opened her eyes and found that it was already the next day.
The bedside was empty, devoid of any warmth; it seemed Lu Zheng had been gone for quite some time.
The clock had already passed nine o'clock, and Qiao Zhen got up and dressed with a grimace.
"That bastard! He didn't even wake me up before he left, making me late again!"
After tidying everything up, Qiao Zhen was just about to go out when she bumped into Lu Zheng, who had just returned.
Seeing Qiao Zhen about to leave for work, Lu Zheng blocked her way: "You haven't eaten yet, what are you going to work for?"
"Get out of the way, I'm going to be late!" Qiao Zhen said anxiously, "It's not your money that's being deducted."
"The salary I pay you is my money."
Lu Zheng lowered his eyes slightly, looking at Qiao Zhen's desperate attempt to escape under his control, and couldn't help but find her somewhat adorable, a smile playing on his lips.
Qiao Zhen found that the man's body was like an impenetrable wall, impossible to budge in the slightest, so she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and said, "Then what do you want?"
"Eat." Lu Zheng's tone left no room for argument as he grabbed Qiao Zhen by the neck and dragged her to the dining table.
Qiao Zhen had no choice but to obey his orders. After finishing breakfast, she followed Lu Zheng to the company.
Feeling the surprised looks from others, Qiao Zhen took a deep breath; she was already used to such scenes.
After accepting the penalty and having her money deducted, Qiao Zhen returned to her workstation.
Before I could even get comfortable sitting down, I heard several employees whispering behind me.
"Do you think Qiao Zhen is really going to rise to a high social status?"
"Yeah, she rides in the CEO's car every day. People who don't know better would think she's being kept by the CEO."
Another employee said sourly, glancing at Qiao Zhen every now and then.
Qiao Zhen is just pretty and has a good figure, so why do all sorts of men flock around her?
The voice wasn't loud, but the office was quiet, so these few words reached Qiao Zhen's ears.
Qiao Zhen used to tolerate these comments, but now she didn't want to endure them anymore, so she walked away.
"Are you talking about me?" Qiao Zhen's expression was calm, but her tone remained polite.
The employee was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect Qiao Zhen to actually come to her.
Another employee, however, reacted quickly, shaking her breasts and saying, "Yes, so what? You're being kept by someone and you don't even want others to talk about it?"
"Do you have evidence?" Qiao Zhen narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.
Upon hearing this, the man snorted twice: "Can't you speak without evidence? This matter is practically out in the open. You and I both know it perfectly well, so stop pretending."
After saying that, the employee rolled his eyes at Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen sneered: "If you falsely accuse someone without evidence, I can sue you for defamation."
The employee wanted to say something, but the next second he looked terrified and didn't dare to utter a single word.
Qiao Zhen was a little confused. When she turned her head, she felt the man's hot breath.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Zheng didn't answer Qiao Zhen, but frowned and asked, "Don't you need my help?"
Hearing this, she thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No need."
If Lu Zheng really manages to resolve this matter, then Qiao Zhen will be in a situation where she can't clear her name no matter what.
After saying that, Qiao Zhen turned back and looked at the two employees in front of her who were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. She smiled and said, "If you don't have concrete evidence, please stop spreading rumors. I reserve the right to pursue you."
After saying that, Qiao Zhen left gracefully, ignoring the stares of others.
After this incident, there was indeed a significant reduction in the amount of random chatter in the office.
Qiao Zhen was enjoying herself and buried herself in her work.
For some reason, Lu Zheng has rarely come to see him these past few days.
Sometimes, Qiao Zhen was so busy that she almost forgot there was such a person as Lu Zheng.
One day after get off work, Qiao Zhen was packing up to leave the company when she found a commotion going on downstairs.
By this time, almost everyone in the company had left, so not many people noticed.
Out of curiosity, Qiao Zhen stepped forward and saw a face she hadn't seen in a long time—Shen Yan.
Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised by her sudden appearance.
She was dressed head to toe in designer brands, and her situation was not much different from before, but the bruise on her lip was clearly visible, and she had lost weight.
