One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 825 - 823: Ye Dashi Extra (12)

Phoenix wasn’t sure how it felt to be praised by a man she utterly disliked. To her, it felt strange and dismissive, like sugar-coated poison, yet she couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances his way.

It seemed she was desperately trying to confirm if this man was indeed Ye Zheng, if he was that bastard, that scumbag Ye Zheng.

But that face, an identical face, even with the vermilion mole on the forehead, how could it be anyone else?

Impossible.

He was still that utterly loathsome Ye Zheng.

"I’m leaving." She retrieved a wallet from her suit pocket, a pure black one that showed no femininity, pulled out a hundred-yuan bill, and slapped it on the table, "Drink slowly on your own."

Ye Zheng’s eyes slightly softened, the smile on his lips deepening, "We’re about to become a married couple, is there really a need to be so clear-cut?"

"You..." Phoenix tried to emulate his nonchalance, maintaining a poker face, but no matter how strong, she was still a girl, a fact gender couldn’t change. A faint blush crept onto her face, "We’re not yet, and even if we do get married in the future, it will only be for interests, and every penny will be accounted for."

"I don’t want to owe you anything."

Ye Zheng found her words a bit amusing, "You don’t want to owe me, but you actively seek my help, doesn’t that count as a favor owed?"

Phoenix suddenly felt a lump in her throat, "I, I will repay you this favor someday, I definitely will."

Ye Zheng looked at her earnest brows and eyes, inexplicably overlapping with a figure in his mind. Even though their personalities were so different, their seriousness about things was uncannily similar... and endearing.

She didn’t like owing anyone, not even a little.

"Phoenix." He called her.

"Uh, what?" The woman was stunned, seemingly not fully recovered, "Sit down, let’s chat. We’re about to become a couple, shouldn’t we know a bit about each other?"

She looked so dazed, why does she always like to portray herself as capable and decisive, is it because of the burden of the Feng Family?

Because she was the eldest daughter of the Feng Family, she had to shoulder all the family’s responsibilities.

That... was a bit like his previous life.

Even if she disliked it so much, couldn’t stand it, she couldn’t escape that responsibility.

"What is there to talk about?" Phoenix frowned, refusing to sit, "We know each other quite well, no need to talk. Even if we get married, we’ll live in separate countries."

Ye Zheng wasn’t one to impose, always showing indifference to things and people, yet at this moment he suddenly stood, blocking the woman about to leave, reaching out to grab her, saying, "I’ll take you somewhere."

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Let go—"

"Let go of what?" Ye Zheng moved forward swiftly, ignoring her struggles, "With your outfit, people would think we’re brothers, they won’t imagine things, so there’s no need to be shy."

"I-I’m not shy." Phoenix immediately explained, "Only women get shy, and I’m not..."

"Mm-mm!"

What was this bastard doing?

He actually had the audacity, actually...

Ye Zheng wasn’t sure what came over him, but upon hearing her words he stopped in his tracks, turned, and kissed her lips.

He ended it quickly, not going deeper, but the force of his single hand holding the back of her head was not gentle, quite strong indeed.

Soon, he was pushed away by the woman with a fierce shove, and a stinging pain erupted on his right cheek.

Phoenix stood in place, continuously wiping her mouth, glaring at him with resentment, as if trying to bore a hole through his body with her gaze—

Ye Zheng rubbed his nose, leaning in closer again, his voice tender and soft, "Phoenix, you’re actually quite normal. All your reactions just now were very womanly, so stop saying ’only women get shy’ things. Every time I hear it... I’ll kiss you."

"After all, I’m scum, I’m a bastard, doing such things is no big deal for me, right?"
