My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1777: Dragon Palace of the East Sea

After hastily escaping the stadium, Xiao Zheng finally got a chance to catch his breath.

The coach had just been pestering him, making him feel very headache.

Actually, Xiao Zheng didn’t intentionally want to show off; he just wanted to take the opportunity to fiercely beat Lin Xiaofeng. Who knew what nerve the Zhonghai Team’s coach hit, that he cried and begged him to join the team.

"Every day, really can’t catch a break."

Xiao Zheng shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing his words, Leng Ruobing said with a mix of anger and amusement, "Honestly, you only have yourself to blame. If it weren’t for that amazing goal you just scored, how would you have been bothered by the coach of the Zhonghai Team?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng looked helpless and said, "I didn’t mean to; I just couldn’t control the strength. And besides, I really don’t know a thing about soccer. I just wanted to end the match as quickly as possible."

"By the way, where are Xiao Ran and Annie? Why haven’t they come out yet?"

"You have the nerve to ask!" Leng Ruobing glared at him and said, "You suddenly ran off and so fast. I could barely keep up. The two of them haven’t even managed to come out yet!"

"So that’s how it is." Xiao Zheng awkwardly laughed and said, "From now on, I promise I won’t be a sprint champion again. If something happens, you all run first, and I’ll cover the rear."

Not sure what she thought of, but at the mention of being a sprint champion, two blushes crept onto Leng Ruobing’s cheeks. She then lightly remarked, "You always have such unserious words."

Xiao Zheng chuckled, just about to say something, when he saw Chu Xiaoran and Annie running out of the gym, breathless.

"Xiao, Brother Xiao."

"Your running speed is too fast, isn’t it? In the blink of an eye, you vanished."

Annie panted, her body covered in fragrant sweat.

Relatively speaking, Chu Xiaoran was in better shape, just looking a bit disheveled.

Hearing Annie’s words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but glance guiltily at the gymnasium and then asked, "How about it? The coach didn’t chase you out, did he?"

"No, your running speed was so fast, Coach Ma is over fifty, there’s no way he could catch up to you." Chu Xiaoran rolled her eyes and said.

Clearly, she was also blaming Xiao Zheng for his lack of loyalty earlier.

Xiao Zheng, knowing he was in the wrong, rubbed his nose and said, "Let’s not talk about those unpleasant things. Tonight, I’ll treat you to a big meal as an apology."

"Alright, alright!" Chu Xiaoran immediately said excitedly.

Seeing the little girl so easy to please, Leng Ruobing and Annie both stood by and smiled wryly.

"Why don’t we go to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea for seafood tonight? It’s the most expensive restaurant in Yunhai City." Annie chuckled with her hand over her mouth, "Brother Xiao, you wouldn’t mind splurging a bit tonight, would you?"

"I don’t mind, of course, I don’t mind," Xiao Zheng joked, laughing, "I only splurge occasionally, unlike you women who splurge every month."

Hearing his words, the three ladies immediately started playfully hitting him with their soft fists.

After a bit of joking around, the four of them headed to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

As usual, Annie drove in the front as the guide. Since she drove a red Ferrari, it was easy to spot on the road, so Xiao Zheng just followed without worrying about getting lost.

When the four arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the parking lot outside was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Relatively speaking, the Cayenne Xiao Zheng drove seemed quite low-key.

After parking, the four of them walked into the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

As Annie led the way, she introduced, "This Dragon Palace of the East Sea is quite legendary in Yunhai City. The owner behind it is very mysterious and only showed up once on the opening day. After that, he was never seen again."

"The business here is extremely good, and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s a goldmine. Some people tried to cause trouble here before, but that very night, they disappeared from Yunhai City. Gradually, we locals learned that the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is not to be messed with."

After hearing her introduction, Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Are we visiting a black market eatery? Causing trouble in the daytime and vanishing by nightfall. What you’re saying is scaring me a bit."

In response, Annie laughed, "Brother Xiao, stop pretending. I don’t believe you’re scared for a second."

Although they had only met today, Annie had already sensed something extraordinary about Xiao Zheng.

"We’re here."

"Since it’s a bit late, we couldn’t get a private room. We’ll just eat in the hall; you guys don’t mind, right?"

Annie asked.

Xiao Zheng and the others all shook their heads, indicating they didn’t mind.

Once they were seated, a waiter brought four menus. Xiao Zheng opened his and found the seafood choices dazzling to look at, rendering him a bit dazzled.

Understandably, he was never very picky about eating.

He could eat at a fancy hotel or squat by the roadside with a boxed meal, eating purely based on preference, whatever he wanted.

Together they ordered about ten dishes.

Annie also ordered a bottle of red wine she had stored there, produced by a not-so-famous foreign winery, her personal favorite. Once the seafood feast was served, the four of them began to dig in heartily.

Especially Xiao Zheng, who ate the most.

"The chef at this restaurant is indeed talented."

"No wonder you recommended us to eat here."

With a crab claw in his mouth, Xiao Zheng mumbled half-clearly.

Seeing the oily sheen at the corners of his mouth, Leng Ruobing carefully wiped it away with a napkin, saying, "Eat slowly; no one is fighting you for it."

Seeing her act the part of a virtuous wife and loving mother, Chu Xiaoran couldn’t help but express some envy, "Cousin, the motherly glow on you is getting more and more radiant. You’re practically unrecognizable from the you in my memory."

"Do all women change after marriage?"

"Annie, you got engaged last year, didn’t you? How is it going with your fiancé?"

Upon hearing this, Annie happily replied, "Yihang treats me well, and both our families have already discussed it. We’re planning to have the wedding around October next year."

"Really? Then I definitely want to apply to be a bridesmaid!" Chu Xiaoran excitedly raised her hand.

Annie nodded with a smile.

But just as she was about to say something, she suddenly looked toward one side of the restaurant, her smile instantly frozen on her face...

[Happy National Day to everyone. Currently, Feng Zui is stuck on the highway; it’s been seven hours. I’m using a hotspot to upload this Chapter, truly inconvenient. I’m so hungry! So tired!!!]
