His Majesty is Scheming - C220
Long Zhenghao finally had some sort of reaction. He stood up from the reef and walked towards her with his coat wrapped around her arm. From far away, he saw Ling Mengzhan’s arms were crossed over her chest, trembling uncontrollably in the chilly wind. He suddenly felt apologetic in his heart.
How could he ignore her when she was wearing a dress? How can I ignore the fact that the weather is turning cold from shame?
He walked to the side of Ling Mengzhu, put his coat over her shoulders, and softly said, “I’m sorry, Zhu Zhu Zhu.”
Ling Mengzhu looked at her in surprise, sorry? Why did you suddenly apologize? Was it because of what had happened just now or because she had neglected the fact that she wanted to go home? If it was the former, then wouldn’t it be too late for ‘sorry’?
“Why are you apologizing to me?” she finally asked, looking up at his handsome face.
Long Zhenghao laughed, “There are too many things I need to apologize to you. Let’s go home.” His long arm scooped her up into the crook of his arm, and he strode forward in the direction of his shoes.
Ling Meng Zhu used her hand to pull at the oversized coat. The coat was much warmer than before, and there was still the scent of Long Zhenghao on it. In this short day, she had already fallen in love with this fresh and elegant atmosphere.
The sun had already set, and even that last bit of time was about to disappear. Ling Mengzhu could not believe what had just happened, and looked at the sea while leaning on Long Zhenghao’s arm … This was something she hadn’t dared to think about for months!
The next day, Long Zhenghao sent her to work. When she got off the car, Ling Mengzhu took off her seat belt and was about to push the door open when she suddenly turned around and asked, “How is it going? Have they all been arrested? ”
“Yes, I’ve already been captured.” Long Zhenghao held the steering wheel with both his hands and suddenly leaned forward to kiss her forehead. He said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen with me here. You just have to rest assured and go to work.”
Ling Mengzhu did not expect him to suddenly attack like that. With a red face, she reprimanded him, “Hey! Didn’t I tell you? “I don’t intend to be with you, so don’t be so mischievous.”
Looking out, he realized that it was already too late. Countless gazes were already staring at him from outside the car. Amongst them was the dumbstruck Little Yi, obviously stunned by the scene in the car.
Ling Mengzhu quickly pushed the door open and got out of the car. She walked in front of Xiao Yi and said, “Let’s go. If not, we’ll be late.”
Xiao Yi snapped out of her daze after being pushed so hard by her. She looked at the silver white A8, which was disappearing into the traffic, and said in surprise, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, how many boyfriends do you have? Why are each of them richer and more handsome than the other? ”
Ling Mengzhu’s face reddened as she slapped her head in an attempt to cover it up. She snappily said, “Can you lower your voice for me? That person just now was my friend, he wasn’t as complicated as you think. Do you want to go to work or not?”
Xiao Yi was dragged away by her and her voice was much lower, but it was still loud enough for the people around her to hear her clearly, “Stop playing dumb here. I clearly saw him kiss you just now.” As she spoke, Little Yi pointed at her forehead.
“That’s …” Ling Mengzhu was stunned as she hurriedly explained, “That was a polite way to say goodbye. He just came back from the United States and got infected with such a bad way to say goodbye. Don’t think too much, okay? “Three to eight!”
“But he sent you to work so early in the morning. If you weren’t living together, how could you have come to work together?”
“Just follow along the way, what’s wrong with that?” Ling Mengzhu did not know what to say. In any case, she wouldn’t admit that Long Zhenghao was her boyfriend even if she beat him to death. In fact, she didn’t think so either, so she felt that it was necessary to explain herself.
Little Yi’s eyes flashed, “Then you mean that the handsome guy who came to pick you up from work the day before yesterday is your real boyfriend?”
“Ugh …” “No, I’m single right now.” Ling Mengzhu laughed dryly, feeling a little awkward at Little Yi’s words. What true boyfriend or deputy boyfriend, speaking of her in such a flowery manner. It seemed like her relationship with these two had misled many people.
“Since he’s not your boyfriend, then take out such an outstanding handsome guy and share it with our sisters.” Little Yi immediately upgraded the relationship between the two of them to that of sisters, her eyes shining as she held her arm. Seeing that Ling Mengzhu did not answer him, she shook her arm vigorously and asked, “Okay okay, introduce that handsome guy to me. I’m lacking a man right now.”
“Hua Chi!” A girl full of disdain came from behind her. Ling Mengzhu turned around, and saw that the small elevator was filled with a bunch of women. But no one knew who the words came from, because everyone’s expression was extremely calm.
Little Yi stopped pestering Ling Mengzhan, and straightened her back, feigning sympathy as she lamented: “I’m just afraid that some people don’t even have the qualifications to be a fangirl. Oh, Zhu Zhu Zhu, do you think that people like us should not be allowed to join? “Isn’t that funny?”
“Ugh …” Ling Mengzhu was at a loss for words, how was she going to answer? If she had to say something funny, she didn’t know which colleague she was going to offend. Therefore, the best thing was to not say anything and not know how Xiao Yi could offend so many people in the company.
The elevator stopped on the 19th floor. Halfway down, a slightly plump woman squeezed past them. He purposely lost his balance and stomped on Little Yi’s feet. Ghost wails and wolf howls immediately filled the elevator, accompanied by a curse from Little Yi, “Fat Sis, fat Sis, to step on my foot so heavily, you deserve to die from the fat.”
The elevator door closed in shame, separating her voice from the woman who had walked out.
Walking out of the elevator, Ling Mengzhu couldn’t help asking: “Hey, Little Yi, why do you have enmity with so many people? What happened? ”
“What else could it be? It’s just that I’m too outstanding. ” Little Yi really wasn’t low-key at all. According to Ling Mengzhu’s understanding of the company’s personnel in the past two days, Little Yi was indeed pretty good. The main reason was that her methods of capturing customers were especially brilliant. As long as someone made the first deal with her, they wouldn’t be moved to another company.
For the entire day, Ling Meng Zhu waited for the owner of the mobile phone store to call her. However, she didn’t receive any news from him until the afternoon. The absence of any news was definitely bad news, and she began to grow anxious.
Although Long Zhenghao repeatedly told her not to interfere in this matter, but after the case the day before yesterday, she felt even more eager to help find the antidote. Not for his own safety, but for him, just for him…
She was so anxious that she had no choice but to call Xiao Lin and ask him about it. The result was that the boss had never called him before, so before she hung up, Xiao Lin said, “Zhu Zhu, let’s eat together. I’ll treat you to some kebabs.”
Ling Meng Zhu liked to eat kebabs, but Xiao Lin didn’t like them. In the past, when she was with Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin wouldn’t let her eat them. Because he said the strings weren’t clean, this was the sorrow of being with the rich, and she still liked being with Hu Chang and the others. They could go to a high-end restaurant together, or they could go to a low-end roadside stall as long as the food was delicious.
He didn’t expect that he would take the initiative today to invite her to eat barbecue skewers. Could it be that he really wished to reconcile with her? Ling Mengzhu thought to herself as she said, “No, I still have something to do tonight. Next time, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. How about tomorrow? I’ll be off work early tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow …” I can’t promise you that yet, because there will be a lot more things to do at the beginning of the company. ” As Ling Mengzhu said this, she was already carrying her bag and walking out, making a gesture of silence towards the dubious looking Little Yi.
Little Lin had no choice but to hang up with regret. From the other end of the phone, Little Yi’s giggle rang, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, you are a liar without blinking your eyes. You obviously don’t have anything important to do, sigh …” “Pity me for my handsome brother’s kindness.”
“Stop laughing at me here. Don’t you always pretend to be innocent and deceive those kind men?”
Little Yi shook her head vigorously, “No, no, no …. “I’m not like you. If the men who harass me were as handsome as your two men who are half as rich, I wouldn’t be able to fool them. We need to know how to love outstanding men.”
“Alright, I’m not going to argue with you anymore. I’ll be leaving first.” Ling Meng Zhu then walked towards the direction of the subway station.
She planned to personally go to the phone shop to hurry the boss up. The phone shop wasn’t too far from here, it would only take a few stops for the subway to arrive. As soon as Ling Mengzhu entered the shop, the owner’s face fell as he complained in an aggrieved manner, “Miss, you …”
Even if it was really urgent, there was no need for Mr. Lin to come in the morning to supervise, right? Didn’t you say that I will do my best? ”
Ling Mengzhu was slightly surprised, Xiao Lin came here in the morning to urge him? He didn’t tell her that just now. It seemed that he was quite anxious as well. With a sunken expression, she unhappily scolded him, “Didn’t I tell you already? I’m in a hurry. I’m really in a hurry. You stole my card, and now you’re the one that makes more sense, aren’t you? Isn’t that annoying? ”
After being scolded by her like this, the owner became well-behaved and didn’t dare to say anything. He lowered his head, fumbling for something.
Ling Mengzhu stared at him and asked, “How is the search going? “Do you have any confidence in being able to get it back?”
“Yes, definitely. Miss, please give me another day or two.” The boss hurriedly promised, “He’ll definitely come back in a few days. A nephew of mine helped me a few months ago and said that he found a card on the ground. But he took it away.”
Hearing that, Ling Meng Yu screamed: “He took it? Then will he delete everything in me? ”
“No, he didn’t use his cell phone when he was studying, so he sold it to someone else. That damn brat said that the card is still in his hands, so don’t worry Miss, I’m sending him back. ”
“Really?” Ling Mengzhu was both surprised and happy. After the pleasant surprise, she had no choice but to worry, could the boss be lying to her? Will there be any problems during the delivery? Could it be the one she wanted? She couldn’t wait to get her card.
The owner nodded solemnly. “Miss, I am not lying to you. You can come back in two days.”
“Alright, I’ll believe you this once. If you still can’t bring it out in two days, then I won’t be polite to you.” After Ling Mengzhu finished speaking, she glared at him angrily, turned around, and walked out of the phone shop.
The moment she stepped out of the shop, she turned around, unwilling to leave. If she could, she really wanted to stay here and wait for the express delivery.
