My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 22: Honey, Reimburse the Travel Expenses

......

After leaving the hotel and reaching the underground parking lot, Xiao Zheng opened his arms, ready to stretch them wide when Leng Ruobing, with her beautiful sharp gaze, gave him a cold sidelong glance and scolded, "What are you trying to do?"

"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to do!" Xiao Zheng nodded casually.

"Drop dead!" Leng Ruobing threw her purse at him.

"Hey, hey, hey, just now you were sweetly calling me husband, and now the style of painting has drastically changed—a dramatic turn!" Xiao Zheng complained with displeasure.

"Earlier, it was to give you face, so as not to be humiliated, damaging my reputation as Leng Ruobing," she said with an icy look before getting into the car.

Xiao Zheng’s mouth twitched, and he said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Uh, wife, did you see something? That’s why at the crucial moment you came out; you’re really too bad."

Leng Ruobing ignored him.

Even a fool like Xiao Zheng knew what his wife was thinking. Apparently, Leng Ruobing had seen him being humiliated. But due to her status, it wasn’t appropriate for her to intervene. Calling him husband was just to save his face, considering his dignity.

"Hehe, my wife is the best." Xiao Zheng chuckled and waved his hand in front of Leng Ruobing.

"What do you want?" Leng Ruobing’s gaze turned icy, giving him a glance.

"Money," Xiao Zheng said, surprised, as if such a beautiful woman would understand.

Leng Ruobing frowned. "Money for what?"

"Expenses reimbursement. I took a taxi here. It was a total of 128; let’s forget the change. Just make it 120," Xiao Zheng said while pulling out the receipt and spoke seriously like a little money grubber, "My wife, you know, in an international big city like Zhonghai City, the starting price is really too high. Next time, please get me a car; it would make it easier for me to pick you up."

"You still want expenses reimbursed? A car for you?" Leng Ruobing felt this was the biggest joke she had ever heard.

Xiao Zheng’s expression darkened, "Oh, come on, wife, now my pockets are cleaner than my face? You, the grand CEO of a big company, you wouldn’t be planning to swindle this little bit of hard-earned money from me, right?"

"Mr. Xiao, could you watch your language!" Leng Ruobing was furious, thinking even if she is poor, she would never swindle a small man like him.

"Then give me the money," Xiao Zheng handed her the receipt.

"Money, money, money, haven’t you seen money before? Can’t you wait until we get home?" Leng Ruobing glared at him impatiently.

Xiao Zheng laughed, "Isn’t this just to remind you in case you forget later, leaving me high and dry, and denying it later? How would I manage then? I’m literally depending on this money to survive."

"Am I the type of person who doesn’t return money?" Leng Ruobing’s expression chilled, annoyed by his words.

She thought to herself, how on earth can I, the mighty CEO of Qianqiu Group, be talked down to like this by him?

"Leng Ruobing, oh Leng Ruobing, the CEO of a publicly listed company shouldn’t lose her temper over such a petty man; you need to control yourself, you must hold back!" Leng Ruobing clenched her fists, forcing her inner world to remain calm.

Seeing her silent, Xiao Zheng knew she was probably angry and simply too lazy to say more, and continued driving.

However, just as they left the Jiangka Hotel, Xiao Zheng seemed to realize something, and suddenly with a mischievous smile, he said, "Honey, I also have an appointment to chat about life goals with a lady tonight. Since you didn’t drink tonight, why don’t you head home first to warm the bed for me?"

"Meeting with a lady?" Leng Ruobing, who was resting her eyes, furrowed her brows and gritted her teeth—married to him and this scoundrel was still going out to meet other women?

"Yeah, that girl has been waiting for me for quite a while. If I don’t go, I won’t be able to hang on," Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "Wife, be understanding, I promise I’ll come home early tonight."

"You! Get lost!"

Leng Ruobing didn’t want to waste words on him anymore.

A man like him could never be helped.

Luckily their marriage was only a contract.

"Alright then. Drive slowly, wife."

As he said that, Xiao Zheng stepped out of the car and waved, only to be left in a cloud of exhaust...

"Xiao Zheng, you shameless scoundrel! After one more month when our contract expires, I never want to see you again!" Leng Ruobing drove off, inwardly cursing Xiao Zheng.

However, suddenly a figure darted across the dark road.

In a panic, the brakes were still a beat too slow!

Bang!

The man was directly knocked down by the car; Leng Ruobing’s beautiful face turned pale, her eyes filled with panic as she quickly moved forward to check on him.

"Are you alright?"

Leng Ruobing saw a thin man lying on the ground.

"Ouch, I am about to die," the man emitted a piercing scream.

This panicked Leng Ruobing, and she crouched down to help him, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

However, just as Leng Ruobing was helping him up, the man suddenly raised his head, revealing a sleazy, sinister smile as he looked at her.

"You!"

Leng Ruobing was startled and stepped back.

"Young lady, you hit me, aren’t you going to do something about it?" The man slowly got up from the ground, dusting himself off, his eyes murky and greedy as he advanced towards Leng Ruobing step by step.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Leng Ruobing’s delicate brows furrowed as she looked at him icily.

Realizing something, she suddenly turned and ran towards the car.

"Where do you think you’re running off to, young lady?"

The man cracked a wicked smile, bent his legs, and with a leap, he appeared right in front of her!

Then, the hand as dry as a skeleton caught her wrist and said, "Tell me where the Evil God is, and I’ll let you go."

"Evil God? What Evil God? I don’t know what you’re talking about!"

Leng Ruobing frowned and dared not look directly at him.

She didn’t know who the Evil God was, let alone the true identity of Xiao Zheng.

"My patience is very limited, if you don’t talk, your pretty face won’t stay pretty," he said, his fingers dry as twigs gently sliding across her beautiful face.

However, before his fingertips could touch her face, Leng Ruobing’s expression turned cold, and she lifted her knee and rammed it into his groin hard.

"Snap!"

A bizarre scene occurred, the man not only did not dodge, but he did not even show a hint of pain!

"You!"

Leng Ruobing was dumbfounded.

This hit, though it might not shatter anything, should at least keep him in bed for several days.

But not only was he perfectly fine, he was eerily calm!

"Snap!"

The man swung his hand and slapped her across the face.

Leng Ruobing was struck to the ground and passed out. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Stupid woman, I have a hundred ways to make you talk," he said as he stepped closer, his evil eyes glittering with sleazy, greedy desire.

Just as he was about to touch her.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a sharp glint of cold light shot towards him, and he was pierced by it without being able to dodge!

Spurt!

Blood splattered!

The man looked up, only to see a young man with a cigarette in his mouth walking slowly through the dark night.
