My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1250: Leng Ruobing’s Jealousy Erupts

Leng Ruobing, who was standing nearby, said nothing. She glanced at Xiao Zheng. Previously, when she had come personally because of the trouble, she was by the side, but later Xiao Zheng asked her not to tell Liu Han Yan, and Leng Ruobing agreed.

Moreover, even if Xiao Zheng hadn’t stopped Leng Ruobing, she probably wouldn’t tell Liu Han Yan either.

During this period, Xiao Zheng’s attitude towards Liu Han Yan made Leng Ruobing quite jealous. If necessary, Leng Ruobing hoped the two would keep some distance.

Although Liu Han Yan is a very good friend of Leng Ruobing, even Leng Ruobing becomes a bit selfish on such matters.

Though she also understood in her heart that Xiao Zheng was just warmly helping Liu Han Yan, and the main reason was that Liu Han Yan is her good friend.

But what about Liu Han Yan?

She is currently still single. Previously, she had an engagement with Elder Fan, which has now been called off. She is carefree and unburdened now, and it’s hard to guarantee she wouldn’t develop feelings for Xiao Zheng.

Moreover, the indications over the past few days show Liu Han Yan might indeed be starting to like Xiao Zheng, even if she hasn’t realized it herself.

And this time, if she were to learn that the reason for the Fan Family’s cancellation of the engagement was entirely due to Xiao Zheng’s heroic efforts to help her, would she feel even more grateful to Xiao Zheng?

Would she, because of this gratitude, like Xiao Zheng even more?

Leng Ruobing dared not think further. Sometimes, she had to admit, women can be strange creatures.

"Why are you standing there idly? Help me with the luggage." Liu Han Yan, seeing Xiao Zheng in a daze on the stairs, couldn’t help but call out.

"Alright, I’ll help you with it." Xiao Zheng quickly agreed and went downstairs.

Truth be told, seeing Liu Han Yan recovering now, Xiao Zheng was quite relieved.

Liu Han Yan used to be so pitiful, practically a sacrificial lamb for family interests.

Now that the problem is resolved, everyone is happy.

"Okay, I need to handle company matters, I won’t see you off. Xiao Zheng, you accompany Liu Han Yan to the airport and help her with her luggage." Leng Ruobing thought for a moment and said.

Xiao Zheng nodded without thinking; now between him and Liu Han Yan, there weren’t those initial awkward tensions.

After going through these matters, their relationship felt more like a friendship.

And now that a friend is leaving, naturally Xiao Zheng should see her off.

Xiao Zheng’s reaction wasn’t surprising, but Liu Han Yan, initially, would be polite about it. Now, hearing Leng Ruobing’s words, she immediately said, "Sure, I was fretting about carrying all this luggage by myself."

For wealthy people, luggage is nothing; they can easily hire people to carry it. Liu Han Yan probably just wanted to spend a bit more time with Xiao Zheng before leaving.

Leng Ruobing pondered this, yet somehow didn’t feel anything particularly odd.

Xiao Zheng drove, placing Liu Han Yan’s luggage in the trunk, and they set off.

On the road, Liu Han Yan looked wistfully at the scenery outside, thinking about how much her circumstances had changed since she first arrived here.

Back then, Liu Han Yan felt her engagement was irrevocable, she was nearly at her wits’ end, considering recklessly offering herself at a bar.

Fortunately, in a twist of fate, it was Xiao Zheng who ended up being her unintended partner.

She turned to look at Xiao Zheng, gazing at his tranquil profile with a rare smile emerging on her face.

Initially, upon discovering that the unintended one-night stand was actually Leng Ruobing’s husband, she felt quite awkward and upset, thinking Xiao Zheng had deceived her.

However, now she found herself somewhat grateful that the person was Xiao Zheng.

If it were some random stranger, she wouldn’t be able to accept it now.

"What’s up? Leaving soon, don’t want to part with me?" Xiao Zheng noticed Liu Han Yan’s gaze and spoke teasingly.

Liu Han Yan’s face flushed, she quickly turned away as if embarrassed at being caught peeking.

This drew hearty laughter from Xiao Zheng.

"What are you laughing at? Just drive your car. It’s so slow, like a snail. At this rate, when will we ever get to the airport?" Liu Han Yan diverted the topic.

But Xiao Zheng’s speed wasn’t really that slow.

Upon hearing Liu Han Yan complain, Xiao Zheng’s lips curled slightly upward, and he chuckled, "I thought safety first, a steady pace was better. But since you want speed, alright, let’s have some thrill."

With that, Xiao Zheng’s hand shifted onto the gear lever, making Liu Han Yan’s heart skip a beat, feeling something seemed off.

In all honesty, Liu Han Yan simply wanted to ease the awkwardness, to banter with Xiao Zheng routinely.

But now, she found herself unable to refuse.

She could only watch in silence as Xiao Zheng stomped on the accelerator, the car roared and sped off like lightning.

Seated in the passenger seat, Liu Han Yan’s face instantly turned pale.

Perhaps due to inherent reasons, Liu Han Yan was already very afraid of speeding, and as the speed increased, even the scenery outside the window blurred.

"S-slow down a bit." Liu Han Yan, frightened and pale, finally couldn’t help but exclaim.

She tightly gripped the seatbelt across her chest, her body stiff and tense, not daring to move.

Xiao Zheng heard, but pretended he didn’t, the foot on the accelerator held firm, pressing again to increase the speed, prompting another round of loud exclamations from Liu Han Yan in the passenger seat.

The car raced down the broad road, whizzing past, with Liu Han Yan’s startled screams occasionally escaping from within the car.

...

The airport.

Xiao Zheng took Liu Han Yan’s luggage out of the car, letting the airport staff carry it in.

Liu Han Yan stood across from Xiao Zheng, simply staring blankly at him, her expression a bit forlorn.

Only now did Liu Han Yan truly realize that as she was about to leave, she was indeed quite reluctant to part with Xiao Zheng.

"Better hurry up, or you’ll miss the flight." Xiao Zheng urged.

Though Xiao Zheng didn’t particularly feel reluctant about Liu Han Yan leaving, truth be told, he really disliked the prevailing vibe. It felt like the final farewell before parting.

"It’s fine, still in time." Liu Han Yan shook her head.

Xiao Zheng was somewhat at a loss.

"Are you really that eager for me to leave?" Liu Han Yan looked at Xiao Zheng a bit wistfully.

"Not at all, don’t get me wrong, why would I think that..." Xiao Zheng quickly began to explain.

But before he could finish, Liu Han Yan interrupted.

"Will I see you again?" Liu Han Yan asked.

Xiao Zheng froze, looking at Liu Han Yan in surprise, "Will you come back?"
