Chapter 142: Do You Think So?

The neighbor was not stupid. She followed him eagerly. “What do you mean he doesn’t want to get married? Everyone has to get married. Besides, why did he come to your house in the middle of the night? Don’t you have a fiancé?”
The few times Cheng Xingyang came to the apartment to look for Xing Shu, he caused a huge commotion each time. This neighbor also knew about the relationship between Cheng Xingyang and Xing Shu.
Xing Shu choked on her neighbor’s words. Before she closed the door, she smiled at the neighbor. “Of course, I hid this from my fiancé.”
The neighbor stood at the door with an indescribable expression. However, Cheng Lang was too handsome and his bearing was too good. She muttered unwillingly, “He’s so handsome. Why does he have such bad taste? Even if he wants to find a sugar mommy, he should find someone wealthy. How wealthy can someone who lives here be?”
A door away, Cheng Lang stood in the living room with a dark face. Xing Shu had been quite sleepy. But after this blooper, she became a little more energetic. She went to the kitchen to get some water for Cheng Lang. “I’m sorry, President Cheng. It’s a small community here. The neighbors like to talk nonsense and matchmake.”
Cheng Lang raised his head and narrowed his eyes as he sized up Xing Shu. Other than obvious exhaustion, there was no emotion on her face. She was neither sad nor angry. For some reason, his heart seemed to have been stung. He lowered his eyes and looked at the glass of water on the coffee table.
Xing Shu would not think that Cheng Lang was here to see her in the middle of the night. The first thing she thought of was work. Recently, the only job she had taken over that could make Cheng Lang come over in the middle of the night was MOOL. She was the one who prepared the information. Was there a problem with the information? She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past 3:00 a.m.. Cheng Lang was a workaholic to talk about work at this time.
Cheng Lang’s eyes were sharp, and his eyebrows were cold. President Cheng? Xing Shu was clearly more willing to call him Young Uncle in private. Her lilted tone was very enchanting and alluring. Was she concerned that after annulling the engagement with Cheng Xingyang, she should not call him Young Uncle anymore? Or did she want to end this relationship? One that shouldn’t have started in the first place?
Cheng Lang lowered his gaze and looked at the black Buddhist bracelet on his wrist. His slender fingers fiddled with the beads one by one. This was a sign that his patience was about to run out. It was very strange. When he thought about how Xing Shu wanted to end their relationship, his heart felt very uncomfortable. He could not help but look down at his chest and wonder if there was something wrong with his heart. However, he went for a physical examination every year and had always been in good health. He did not understand what this uncomfortable feeling was. At the same time, he was vaguely annoyed. Nie Heng had told him to take this opportunity to dump Xing Shu, but he kept feeling that the situation was the other way around—it was Xing Shu who wanted to use this opportunity to dump him.
This realization made Cheng Lang’s fingers that were fiddling with the Buddhist bracelet pause, and his eyes darkened.
“I came to the house of a woman whom I have an amorous relationship with at 3:00 a.m.. What do you think is the reason? Work?” There was a rare look of frustration between Cheng Lang’s brows. He loosened the tie around his neck and tilted his head back slightly to look at Xing Shu. “Do you think so?”
Xing Shu was not paying much attention to what Cheng Lang said. There were too many things on her mind. The Xing family would not let her off easily, and neither would Cheng Gang. She had to deal with the issue of the welfare home’s relocation. She also had to think of how to take care of the director. As for Cheng Corporation Group, her department had always resented her. Then, there’s also Liu Xiangru—Xing Shu might have gotten on her radar. No matter how she looked at it, she was in a precarious situation and surrounded by dangers all around. Therefore, it was beneficial for her to continue maintaining a relationship with Cheng Lang—it would afford her some protection at least. If she wanted to end their relationship, she had to wait until she could leave the capital freely.
At the thought of this—even though Xing Shu was very tired—she still went to sit on Cheng Lang’s lap and kissed his lips obediently. Nie Xi was right—Cheng Lang’s lips were very kissable, especially his expression of letting you do whatever you want. It made one want to kiss him to death. However, Xing Shu was too tired. After a while, she lowered her head and rested it on Cheng Lang’s shoulder, in a gesture bidding him to continue.
Of course, Cheng Lang would not refuse. He carried Xing Shu and went straight to the bedroom.
Although Xing Shu’s apartment was small, it was cozy. Soft whimpers spilled from the corners of her lips. Xing Shu closed her eyes and struggled with her rationality. But, the exhilaration emanating from her body was undeniable. Sweat gradually dampened her hair, and her face was lighted with a lovely flush. She was breathtakingly beautiful under him..
