My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1728: The Gentleness in Her Lowered Gaze

Chapter 1728: Chapter 1728: The Gentleness in Her Lowered Gaze

"Why not kill if we can kill."

"Killing one is the same as killing two, so why not kill both father and son. I’m different from you; I don’t have so many eyes watching me, I’m not afraid of offending people."

Long Qie lit a cigar and exhaled a puff of smoke.

The cigar in his hand, although not as famous as brands like Gao Xiba and Montecristo, also comes from Cuba. It’s a product of a private workshop, considered custom-made, with an annual production of only two hundred boxes, definitely one of the top Cuban cigars in the world.

This is also Long Qie’s new hobby; now he likes to take a puff or two whether anything is going on or not.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown and said, "You’d better put out your cigar. Ruobing is pregnant."

"Oh, almost forgot, my bad." Only then did Long Qie realize, and he quickly put out the cigar in the ashtray, "But speaking of which, ever since the sister-in-law got pregnant, Mr. Xiao, you’ve become more and more attentive."

Upon hearing his teasing, Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything. Wasn’t I attentive before? You were just blind, unable to see my flash points."

Long Qie chuckled, then said ambiguously, "Mr. Xiao, those flash points of yours should be left for sister-in-law to slowly discover. I heard pregnant women are quite jealous, Mr. Xiao, you’d better prepare for the worst."

"Get lost, stop trying to stir up trouble between me and my wife." Xiao Zheng scolded with a smile, then corrected, "Let’s be serious, let’s talk about business."

"Tell me, why do you want to kill both Ye Jinzhao and Ye Zhengyang?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qie laughed and said, "Do you even need to ask? Mr. Xiao, you’re so smart, can’t you guess my intention? My thoughts aren’t complicated; I just want to help you establish authority."

"Although Mr. Xiao, you recently destroyed the Great Sound Buddha Sect, frankly, those guys who claim to be the orthodox of martial arts in the Eight Sacred Places have always looked down on us. They keep plotting little schemes in secret, thinking we don’t know."

As he said these words, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.

Especially when he mentioned the Eight Sacred Places, he was even more contemptuous.

"So you killed the Ye Family father and son, ostensibly warning the Ye Family, but in reality warning the Eight Sacred Places?" Xiao Zheng looked at him, smirking.

Long Qie nodded and said, "Yes, that’s what I mean. Since the people of the Eight Sacred Places aren’t honest, we might as well take this opportunity to teach them a lesson."

"Mr. Xiao, you don’t want to be the villain, so I’ll do it for you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but find it funny yet frustrating: "What do you mean I don’t want to be the villain? Your words just show you still don’t understand me. I just don’t take the Eight Sacred Places seriously. They’re not worth my attention."

While speaking, he thought of the Western factions...

Xiao Zheng then asked, "Recently, have there been any movements in the West?"

"None, still calm," Long Qie shook his head, "Since the Blood Clan and Werewolf war, the Western factions seem drained, not to mention large-scale battles, there’s not even small skirmishes."

"In any case, keep sending people to watch, if there’s any movement, immediately send the news to me." Xiao Zheng paused and then continued, "The Eight Sacred Places shouldn’t be neglected either, keep sending people to watch them."

Upon hearing this, Long Qie patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, Mr. Xiao, I’ll handle these things. But speaking of which, if I’m handling these things, what will you be doing, Mr. Xiao?"

Sensing his curiosity, Xiao Zheng lazily stretched and then grinned, "Of course, I’ll continue being a hands-off manager. After so many fights, my heart feels very tired."

"Think about it, I’m destined for toil, fought abroad, and then came back to fight again. Now that I finally have some free time to rest, I should spend more time with my wife to heal my wounded heart."

After saying this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Those unfamiliar with him might think he’s suffering from a terminal illness.

Long Qie couldn’t help but look at him with disdain, internally criticizing him thoroughly: "Why not just admit you want to woo women straightforwardly?"

"Hmm? Are you questioning my character?" Xiao Zheng casually glanced at him and said, "By the way, I suddenly realized that we haven’t sparred for a long time. Since we’re both free tonight, why not have a bout?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qie’s smile instantly froze.

He immediately jumped up from the couch as if sitting on fire: "That, Mr. Xiao, it’s getting late. Sister-in-law is probably waiting for you in the room to rest. I won’t disturb you."

"There are some things to handle at the base, I need to go attend to serious matters."

After saying this, Long Qie quickly ran off as if afraid Xiao Zheng would keep him there.

"This guy..."

Xiao Zheng watched his fleeing figure and couldn’t help but smile with a shake of his head.

After finishing the coffee in his cup, he returned to the bedroom.

Leng Ruobing was already asleep, Xiao Zheng didn’t dare wake her, so he carefully lifted the corner of the quilt and crawled onto the bed. However, as soon as he lay down, he couldn’t help but gasp.

Leng Ruobing had turned over, and one shapely, long leg happened to rest on him.

Although separated by a layer of sleepwear, the elasticity still made Xiao Zheng feel quite stimulated. However, he couldn’t be handsy with Leng Ruobing now; after all, she’s pregnant, and any harm to the child wouldn’t be good.

"I shall endure..."

Xiao Zheng closed his eyes and began to mentally chant the Mental Tranquility Technique.

Unsure how much time had passed, he finally drifted off to sleep.

When Xiao Zheng woke up, Leng Ruobing was no longer in the bedroom. He looked at his phone, found it was only eight-thirty, and couldn’t help but marvel at Leng Ruobing’s punctual biological clock.

After freshening up, he saw Leng Ruobing in the dining room.

She was holding a plate of freshly toasted bread, and on the table were sunny-side-up eggs, bacon, and hot milk.

Upon seeing Xiao Zheng awake, Leng Ruobing spoke gently like a virtuous wife, "You’re up? Perfect timing, breakfast is ready. Sit down and eat."

Xiao Zheng nodded and sat down with her.

Taking a bite of toast, he mumbled through it, "Wife, what time did you get up this morning?"

Upon hearing, Leng Ruobing said, "Seven o’clock, why?"

"Too early, listen to me, sleep an extra hour next time." Xiao Zheng shook his head, "You’re pregnant now, even if not for yourself, think about our child."

"I’ll listen to you."

Leng Ruobing gently lowered her head and softly said.

The gentleness in her lowering head made Xiao Zheng’s heart flutter.
