My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 2025: Chapter 2025: Jealous Mo Anna

After returning from Europe, Xiao Zheng stayed at home for seven or eight days.

He didn’t go anywhere, always by Leng Ruobing’s side.

Perhaps due to his inner guilt, Xiao Zheng felt he owed Leng Ruobing a lot, so he wanted to spend more time with her now that he had the chance.

However, as time went on, Leng Ruobing urged him to go to work at the company.

After all, Xiao Zheng had been away for a long time, and Leng Ruobing hadn’t been to the company for quite a while either, leading Mo Anna to handle everything alone.

Over time, Leng Ruobing also felt some sympathy for Mo Anna.

Xiao Zheng understood the situation, so when Leng Ruobing urged him to go to the company, he didn’t object.

Early this morning, after dropping Chu Xiaoran off at her company, Xiao Zheng leisurely drove to Qianqiu Group. Although he was already late for work, he didn’t mind.

Upon arriving at the company, many people greeted him warmly along the way.

Xiao Zheng didn’t put on airs, responding to everyone with a smile.

After arriving at his office, a secretary quickly came to brief him on work, evidently instructed by Leng Ruobing, or else the secretary wouldn’t have come so promptly.

Realizing that his carefree days had come to an end, Xiao Zheng changed his usual easygoing demeanor and fully focused on work.

Though not as proficient in business as Leng Ruobing and Mo Anna, he was still relatively skilled.

In just two hours, Xiao Zheng dealt with a dozen documents and contracts brought by the secretary. Of course, many contracts required board discussions before deciding whether to sign them, making the process quite troublesome.

That’s also why Xiao Zheng disliked coming to work; he’s innately a person who avoids hassle.

After swiftly handling his work, it was time for lunch.

Xiao Zheng stretched, then got ready to shut down his computer and head to the cafeteria.

To be honest, he missed the food from the company cafeteria.

The chefs hired by Leng Ruobing were even more skilled than those in five-star hotels.

Just as Xiao Zheng finished tidying up, a graceful figure appeared at his office door: "Well, isn’t it our Chairman Xiao? I didn’t expect to see you at work; I thought you had vanished from the world!"

Hearing this familiar teasing voice, a slight smile curved Xiao Zheng’s lips: "Sister Mo, listen to you, making it sound like you couldn’t wait for me to disappear. Don’t tell me you don’t want to see me back; then I’d be really heartbroken."

"Tch, you’re the most heartless in the world. You say you’d be heartbroken, but I don’t believe it." Mo Anna couldn’t help but roll her eyes, saying, "If you’d really be heartbroken, you wouldn’t have been back so long without reaching out to me."

"Just been busy," Xiao Zheng said with an awkward smile.

Talking about this made him somewhat embarrassed.

After all, what Mo Anna said was true; it had been nine days since he returned to the country, and he really hadn’t contacted Mo Anna during this time.

"I knew you were busy, so I didn’t reach out either." Mo Anna smiled, a hint of bitterness in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng chuckled and walked to her side: "It’s noon now; you haven’t eaten yet, right? Come on, since we’ve met, I’ll take you out for lunch, as an apology to you."

"Can I choose anything I want?" Mo Anna asked.

"Of course." Xiao Zheng nodded, saying, "French cuisine, Japanese food, Korean dishes, Chinese meals, whatever you want."

"What if I want to eat you?" Mo Anna licked her red lips, teasingly said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s heartbeat sped up suddenly.

If it weren’t for standing at his office door, he might have impulsively pulled Mo Anna into an embrace.

What a temptress!

Xiao Zheng then laughed: "Want to eat me, that’s simple! As long as you pick a place tonight, I guarantee delivery to your door."

"Dream on, let’s go, I’m starving." Mo Anna rolled her eyes at him before catwalking away with swaying slim hips.

After laughing helplessly, Xiao Zheng quickly caught up.

Originally planning to eat in the company cafeteria, since he met Mo Anna, Xiao Zheng took her to a newly opened revolving restaurant nearby.

Since it was newly opened, it attracted many customers.

When Xiao Zheng and Mo Anna arrived at the restaurant, there was only one table left.

Fortunately, it was just the two of them, so they could sit down comfortably.

After ordering, Xiao Zheng asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine.

As the waiter walked away with their menu, Mo Anna queried curiously: "Why open wine out of the blue? I have a meeting this afternoon; what if I get drunk?"

"Sister Mo, you’re being too modest." Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but tease, "People might not know your capacity, but I do. Plus, one bottle doesn’t contain much; we’ll finish it in a few glasses."

"Moreover, we haven’t seen each other for a while, isn’t a bit of liquor just right to boost our rapport?"

Hearing this, Mo Anna mournfully responded, "So we do have rapport left? Honestly, not contacting me for so long, I thought you’d forgotten me."

"I hesitated a lot before coming to find you today."

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly with a touch of guilt and helplessness on his face: "Actually, I didn’t mean to disappear for so long; you know what happened in Europe."

"If it weren’t for the chaotic and complex situation over there, I would have returned much earlier."

After speaking, he recounted the events in Europe to Mo Anna once more.

Of course, he chose some things he could talk about, skipping over gruesome scenes like life-and-death duels, to avoid worrying Mo Anna.

Although Mo Anna knew about the events in Europe, she didn’t know the details.

Now, hearing Xiao Zheng’s account, she was still quite shocked.

Any remaining resentment felt towards Xiao Zheng dissipated entirely.
