My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1775: Challenge Xiao Zheng

"Haha."

"We really are destined to meet, aren’t we? I didn’t expect to run into you here."

Lin Xiaofeng didn’t know when he left the soccer field, but now he was up in the stands. Accompanying him were several of his teammates—each tall and burly, shirtless, with tattoos, looking more like street thugs than players.

Clearly, these guys were here to back Lin Xiaofeng up. Otherwise, Lin Xiaofeng alone might not have dared to face Xiao Zheng.

Upon hearing this, before Xiao Zheng could reply, Chu Xiaoran spoke with a displeased expression, "Lin Xiaofeng, what do you want this time? Did the beating you got the other day not knock some sense into you?"

Upon hearing her words, Lin Xiaofeng couldn’t help but touch his aching chest before sneering, "It would’ve been fine if you didn’t bring up the past, but now that you did, I’m upset!"

"And if you’re upset, what can you do about it?" Xiao Zheng looked at him, asking with amused curiosity, "Do you want to fight me? You better not. Even if I gave you both of my hands and legs, you couldn’t beat me. Save yourself the embarrassment."

Lin Xiaofeng’s eyes twitched constantly, clearly provoked by his words.

Then one of the Zhonghai Team players couldn’t hold back and angrily said, "How dare you speak to Brother Feng like that? Want to fight? We’re ready to go all the way with you!"

After saying that, he flexed his biceps as if showing off.

The guy merely wanted to show off in front of Chu Xiaoran and friends and also curry favor with Lin Xiaofeng. But he didn’t expect that when he flaunted his muscles, the three women looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Even Lin Xiaofeng couldn’t help but grit his teeth secretly and said, "Wang Meng, this has nothing to do with you. Don’t butt in! This is between him and me, let me handle it!"

Wang Meng was still somewhat confused but obediently shut his mouth.

Although he was older than Lin Xiaofeng, within the team, his status was nowhere near Lin Xiaofeng’s.

Clap, clap, clap~

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but applaud, laughing, "You’re really fearless. Since you’re so hell-bent, I’ll give you a chance for revenge. Tell me, how do you want to settle this grudge between us?"

Ordinarily, he wouldn’t bother with someone like Lin Xiaofeng.

But since he was bored now and had nothing better to do, Xiao Zheng decided to entertain him and kill some time.

Upon hearing this, fear flashed in Lin Xiaofeng’s eyes, but he quickly steeled himself and said, "I know you’re a good fighter, so I’m not dumb enough to fight you physically. I want to challenge you to a soccer match!"

Challenge to a soccer match?

Xiao Zheng was momentarily stunned and then felt rather amused.

Chu Xiaoran couldn’t help but glare at Lin Xiaofeng, rebuking, "Lin, do you have no shame? Xiao Zheng already let you go last time, yet you dare to cause trouble again? And as a National Youth Team member, how can you feel justified in challenging someone who knows nothing about soccer to a match?"

"If you’re not embarrassed, I’m ashamed for you!"

As she spoke, her eyes showed undisguised contempt.

Even Leng Ruobing and Annie looked at Lin Xiaofeng with disdain.

As for Lin Xiaofeng’s teammates, they were all stunned. They thought Lin Xiaofeng was there to fight, but didn’t expect him to challenge Xiao Zheng to a soccer match.

Moreover, Xiao Zheng has never played soccer before and knows nothing about the rules.

Suddenly, even Wang Meng and the others began to look down on Lin Xiaofeng.

Faced with everyone’s disdainful gazes, Lin Xiaofeng felt embarrassed despite his thick skin. But his eyes remained wild and determined; at this point, he cared little about his pride in order to get revenge.

"Weren’t you always so arrogant before? Why are you suddenly quiet now?"

"If you don’t dare face me in a match, then just apologize honestly. As long as you apologize, I’ll turn around and leave immediately!"

Lin Xiaofeng stared provocatively at Xiao Zheng.

In fact, forcing Xiao Zheng to apologize was his true goal; the so-called soccer match was just a ruse. After all, any sensible person knows that competing against a National Youth Team prodigy in soccer is a foolish endeavor.

Lin Xiaofeng firmly believed that Xiao Zheng would never agree to a match.

However, just as he was confident Xiao Zheng would apologize to him, something unexpected happened.

Xiao Zheng stood up, smiling, "Sure, I’ll accept your challenge. It’s just soccer, right? I may not have eaten pork, but I’ve seen pigs run, haven’t I? Didn’t I just see a bunch of pigs running on the field?"

"How dare you call us pigs!" Wang Meng glared, furious, ready to fight.

But when Xiao Zheng coldly glanced at him, his anger immediately vanished, as if stared down by a predator, sweating profusely.

Lin Xiaofeng didn’t notice Wang Meng’s change, first frowning, then coldly sneering, "Alright, I didn’t expect you to have the guts to actually compete with me."

"Alright, let’s not even bother with any rules; let’s decide with goals. Whoever scores first wins, how about that?"

"Fine, I have no objections." Xiao Zheng shrugged, saying casually.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Lin Xiaofeng spat vehemently on the ground, "Stop pretending here. This time, I will make you lose convincingly!"

"Follow me!"

After speaking, Lin Xiaofeng confidently led Xiao Zheng towards the soccer field.

Playing soccer had always been his specialty.

Lin Xiaofeng was certain he wouldn’t lose to Xiao Zheng in this match!

It seemed the coach was already informed or had been forewarned by Lin Xiaofeng because, when he saw Xiao Zheng following Lin Xiaofeng, neither the coach nor the other players showed any surprise.

After clearing off unnecessary personnel from the field, Lin Xiaofeng led Xiao Zheng to the kickoff point.

Right between them, a soccer ball lay quietly.

Lin Xiaofeng, looking at Xiao Zheng’s smiling face, felt instantly upset, yet he kept calm and sneered, "No need to flip a coin to decide who kicks off; I’ll let you go first to avoid accusations of bullying."

"Alright, since you said so, I certainly won’t refuse." Xiao Zheng replied with a smile.

As he smiled, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly felt uneasy.

However, he soon got serious, ready to use a decisive victory to defeat Xiao Zheng and reclaim his dignity.

But just as Lin Xiaofeng was getting into position, a whistle blew from the sideline.

Lin Xiaofeng froze.

The team’s players were equally stunned.

When Lin Xiaofeng stiffly turned to look back, he saw a white soccer ball lying quietly in his goal.

As for Xiao Zheng, the ball was already gone from beneath his feet.

The match had started and ended almost instantly!
