Blue Heart held onto Xiao Zheng's rough hand as they strolled on the road. A sweet smile appeared on her gentle face.
She was in love!
Blue Heart wanted to announce her happiness to the world!
"Don't tell anyone!"
Xiao Zheng's careful and nervous request sounded out.
"Ah?" Blue Heart's expression changed as she bit her lips. "Why?"
"Xin Ao has a clear rule that employees can't have office romances, or else they'll be fired!" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette as he said worriedly. "It wasn't easy for me to get this stable job, and I don't want to lose it so quickly."
"Rules are made by people, and the company's rules are only limited to normal employees — —" Blue Heart said tactfully. "I'm the CFO of Xin Ao, and I'm the biggest shareholder apart from Boss Lin. Although Boss Lin's decisions are the main ones, I'm the CFO of Xin Ao. As long as I bring up this small rule, Boss Lin will never reject it. "
Banning office romances was a bit of an emasculating culture. Blue Heart had never agreed with Lin Huayin on this point, and she also closed one eye to her subordinates. Moreover, Lin Huayin didn't state that the company forbade internal romances. It was just that her attitude was quite prominent, so the managers followed suit and made this a golden rule.
If a boss-level person like Blue Heart came out to mediate, they would be able to break this rule and win the support of the employees. After all, most of Xin Ao's employees were of marriageable age, and they were usually busy with work, so they didn't have many opportunities to interact with the opposite sex. If they could have internal romances, then at least to a certain extent, it would be able to alleviate the mental pressure of the leftover women. They would also be able to play an active role at work. Killing two birds with one stone.
"No!" Xiao Zheng said decisively. "Our relationship definitely can't be leaked!"
What a joke!
If his relationship with Blue Heart was leaked, how would Xiao Zheng be able to survive in Xin Ao?
Emperor's son-in-law? Living off a woman? Gigolo?
Just thinking about it made Xiao Zheng feel like his self-esteem had been damaged. Moreover, he and Lin Huayin were bound by a legally binding marriage agreement. If Lin Huayin found out that he had an affair with her number one confidant at this critical juncture, wouldn't she be furious and seek revenge for the smallest grievance?
Of course, what Xiao Zheng was worried about the most was that the petty Lin Huayin would take revenge on Blue Heart and cause an internal conflict. After all, in name, Blue Heart had stolen Lin Huayin's husband!
"Are you afraid that people will gossip?"
The intelligent Blue Heart quickly understood what Xiao Zheng was thinking and said softly, "If that's the case, then we won't say anything."
"En. That's more like it. "Xiao Zheng nodded with satisfaction and smiled. "Come, give me a kiss as a reward."
Xiao Zheng cupped Director Lan's beautiful face and planted a kiss on her snow-white forehead.
How could Director Lan, who had been single for almost half of his life, withstand such torment? His face immediately turned red, unable to withstand it. Her little face was tender and beautiful, so red that it seemed as if water could drip out.
Looking at the woman's red face, Xiao Zheng's mischievous heart stirred. He lightly lifted Blue Heart's chin and righteously said, "Since we've already confirmed our relationship, you won't refuse if I ask to spend the night at your house, right?"
"Ah …" Blue Heart's body slightly trembled and she revealed a troubled expression. "I'm not ready yet. Isn't it too soon …"
"You don't like me?" Xiao Zheng's expression sank and he revealed a sad expression as he said in self-mockery. "I know. I don't have any money or power right now, so it's normal that you don't want to. I don't blame you. Ai, if you want to blame someone, blame me for not having the ability to give you a sense of security. "
Blue Heart was scared by Xiao Zheng's lackluster acting. Her small hand gently held onto Xiao Zheng's palm as she said agitatedly, "That's not what I meant, don't misunderstand …" After pausing for a moment, the woman gritted her teeth and struggled. "If you really want to, then … then come to my house."
It was as if he was ready to risk it all. Blue Heart's expression was that of a martyr. Compared to her usual resourceful and resourceful negotiator who could determine victory from thousands of kilometers away, it was completely different. It was true that a woman in love had zero IQ.
"Haha. I'm just kidding. "Xiao Zheng grinned. "Actually, I'm not such a casual man."
Blue Heart's face turned red and she said angrily, "How can you joke about something like this!"
"Are you angry?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"No!" Blue Heart put on a straight face, but inwardly, she was very happy.
Was this the sweet interaction between lovers?
Blue Heart, who had waited for eight years, finally tasted love. Her heart felt as if it was covered in honey, and she was extremely satisfied.
"You're so pretty even when you're angry. You really are a demon. "Xiao Zheng said evilly. "I really can't help but want to eat you up!"
Blue Heart was startled. She thought that Xiao Zheng had taken her seriously. He hastily said, "I'll take you home. I still have to work tomorrow. "
"There's no need. My house is far away, so I can take a taxi myself. On the other hand, you have to hold it in tomorrow. When you women are happy, your mouth won't stay shut. "Xiao Zheng said seriously.
"Mm, I won't say anything." Blue Heart nodded shyly as she glanced at Xiao Zheng a few times. "Then I'll go back first?"
"Mm. Send me a message when you get home. "Xiao Zheng smiled.
"Alright." Blue Heart sat in her BMW, satisfied, and reluctantly drove away.
After sending Blue Heart off, Xiao Zheng wanted to continue strolling around this unfamiliar city, but he suddenly received a message on his phone.
"You missed me already?" Xiao Zheng felt quite good about himself and was about to scold Blue Heart for focusing on driving, or else he would spank her butt the next time they met. However, he found that the message was not from Blue Heart, but from Lin Huayin.
"If you don't go home before midnight, prepare to sleep in the park!"
It was a cold and emotionless sentence. Even though it was just a message, it showed how impatient Lin Huayin was. Perhaps she had waited at home for too long, and couldn't take it anymore?
Xiao Zheng looked at the time. It was already 11 PM, and it would take more than half an hour to get to Lin Huayin's mansion by the river. She actually wanted to go home at midnight. Wasn't this clearly trying to make Xiao Zheng lose money?
Unwilling to give up, he stopped a taxi and finally arrived home before midnight. What he was facing was Lin Huayin's ice-cold face, which had never melted in a thousand years. It was the complete opposite of Blue Heart's gentle and moving face. In that one night, Xiao Zheng felt as if he had been shamefully thrown into a world of ice and fire.
"If you want to continue living here, you have to go home before 11 PM!"
Lin Huayin said expressionlessly after taking a shower, wearing a nightgown. She seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Zheng's late return.
"You'd better give me a key. You should know that a man like me, who has a wide circle of friends, occasionally drinks, sings, and plays until two or three in the morning is very normal. "Xiao Zheng said in a friendly manner.
"In your dreams!" Lin Huayin said with an ice-cold expression. "This is my house, why should I give you a key? If you want to continue living here, then do as I say. If you can't go home on time, then find a place to stay. I'm begging you. "
Xiao Zheng didn't dare to retort after being scolded. He was afraid that if he angered Lin Huayin further, she would lock him out tonight. He lit a cigarette with a dejected expression and waved his hands. "Fine. You're the landlord, so you have the final say. At most, if I have something to do in the future, I'll tell you to leave the door open, right? "
After speaking, he sat down on the leather sofa that Lin Huayin loved and lazily turned on the television. He was preparing to watch the evening news.
Seeing Xiao Zheng using the television, sofa, and even using her cup as an ashtray, Lin Huayin, who was already in a bad mood, immediately flew into a rage. "Who allowed you to watch the television? Get up from my sofa! I've already said that aside from that room, you're not allowed to use anything else here! "
Her vile attitude made Xiao Zheng immediately realize that the television and sofa were prohibited items, and he couldn't use them.
"I'm sorry. I was careless and treated this place as my own home." Xiao Zheng immediately got up and apologized with a proper attitude.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng's attitude was pretty good, Lin Huayin did not pursue the matter and coldly snorted, "Don't you need to go to work tomorrow? Why aren't you going to sleep? "
"I only sleep for six hours a day, and it's a little early for me to sleep now." Xiao Zheng blinked his eyes and curiously replied. "You're so angry today. Is it because you fired the company's higher-ups?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Lin Huayin replied without any expression.
"I'm just showing my concern for you. After all, we're living under the same roof. It's only right for us to care for each other. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "Besides. Since the money has been recovered. Why do you have to make such a big fuss? It's not a problem to be forceful, but being too forceful will always make the people below feel bitterly disappointed. They won't feel a sense of belonging to the company. Don't you think so? "
Xiao Zheng's consolation and persuasion did not leave a good impression on Lin Huayin. On the contrary, her gaze turned cold and she questioned, "How do you know that the money has been recovered?"
"Ah?" Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, and then he waved his hand and explained. "It's nothing. This afternoon, Tang Ming and I accompanied CEO Lan to collect the debt. CEO Lan even treated me to a big meal because of this. "
"Really?" Lin Huayin asked with a straight face. She was not convinced by Xiao Zheng's reason at all. Even if the reason was flawless and impeccable.
"It's absolutely true." Xiao Zheng said with flowery words. "CEO Lan is very domineering when negotiating. Tang Ming and I couldn't even get a word in. In just a few rounds, the other party prostrated themselves and decided to pay back the money. From the company's point of view, I feel that you should reward CEO Lan. She's the biggest contributor to this debt collection mission. "
"Why don't you let her take my seat?" Lin Huayin said coldly.
"— —" Xiao Zheng tactfully shut his mouth.
Lin Huayin was right. Blue Heart had long since become Xin Ao's second-in-command. No matter how great her contributions were, it was only natural. There was no need to exaggerate. Otherwise, Lin Huayin would really give her seat to Blue Heart.
"Let me ask you. Why didn't you come back after Blue Heart and Tang Ming came back? What did you do in those two hours? "Lin Huayin asked without any warning, causing Xiao Zheng to be stunned.
