My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1778: Annie’s Fiancé

"Hmm? Annie, what’s wrong?"

"Why does your face suddenly look so bad? You don’t have a seafood allergy, do you?"

Chu Xiaoran asked with concern.

Hearing this, Annie quickly withdrew her gaze, then forced a smile and said, "No, no. It’s just that I suddenly remembered something. By the way, try this steamed grouper, it tastes very good..."

Although she disguised it well, the three of them could still see that she was hiding something.

However, as a close friend, Chu Xiaoran saw she was unhappy and naturally wouldn’t keep pressing. She told a few small jokes, trying to lighten the atmosphere at the table.

Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, glanced back and saw, not far from the corridor, a young man hugging a garishly dressed woman intimately, completely ignoring the disgusted looks from others.

Could it be that Annie knows these two people?

Although Xiao Zheng didn’t turn his head in time just now, he could confirm that the reason for Annie’s sudden change was because of this couple behind her. Because just now in Annie’s line of sight, she could only see these two people.

Something’s fishy!

Xiao Zheng thought silently to himself.

But since he only met Annie today and they are not even friends, he didn’t plan to meddle. Besides, even the person involved was pretending not to see them, so he quickly forgot about them.

A sumptuous seafood feast, which took almost two hours to finish.

Annie might have had something on her mind; after finishing the previous bottle of red wine, she went on to down two more bottles. She kept drinking until Chu Xiaoran couldn’t watch anymore and stopped her from drinking further, after which she drunkenly put down the glass.

"Xiao Zheng, it’s quite late now. Why don’t you go settle the bill first?"

"And Annie is drunk too, we still need to take her home later."

Leng Ruobing said slowly.

Xiao Zheng nodded upon hearing this, then got up to pay the bill.

However, when he came back after settling the bill, he suddenly found that Leng Ruobing was the only one left, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Where are Xiao Ran and Annie? Why are they not here?"

"Xiao Ran went with Annie to the restroom. They should be back soon," Leng Ruobing said.

Xiao Zheng nodded, then sat down beside her, "Let’s wait for them then. Annie really drank a lot tonight. I wonder what’s up with this little girl suddenly drinking so much."

Leng Ruobing shook her head and said, "Gossiping behind people’s backs is not a good habit."

"This isn’t gossiping, it’s caring," Xiao Zheng shamelessly said, "Didn’t you notice Annie seemed a bit odd during dinner?"

Leng Ruobing nodded and said, "A bit, but what does that have to do with us? With all your questions, are you interested in Annie?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? How could I be interested in Annie? I’m not some perverse stallion, stop joking."

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, the bit of jealousy in Leng Ruobing’s heart slowly dissipated.

While the two of them were sitting in the hall drinking tea and chatting, a fierce argument suddenly erupted from the corridor behind them.

"I feel like the arguing voices just now seemed like they belong to Annie and Xiao Ran?" Leng Ruobing frowned and said, "And they’ve been gone to the restroom for too long, haven’t they? Did something happen?"

"Let’s go check it out," Xiao Zheng suggested.

The two of them then put down their teacups and hurried to the source of the argument.

When Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing arrived at the scene, their expressions immediately turned unpleasant. Because they hadn’t heard wrong, Chu Xiaoran and Annie were indeed arguing with someone.

And their situation looked bad, surrounded by a group of young men and women.

"You little bitch, I warn you not to be too arrogant. Don’t think that no one in Yunhai City can deal with you!"

"I don’t know where this wild girl came from, thinking that by sticking to the An Family’s young lady, she can show off and act recklessly in Yunhai City?"

"Just a couple of shrews..."

A group of young men and women surrounded Chu Xiaoran and Annie, jeering and mocking.

Anger flared in Xiao Zheng’s heart; daring to bully Laozi’s women like this, they must be tired of living! Without hesitation, he kicked the man who had been pointing at Chu Xiaoran right on the butt!

This kick directly landed the guy face-first on the ground!

"Ow! Damn it!"

"Who the hell kicked me?"

After falling to the ground, the man immediately cursed in pain and anger.

Xiao Zheng didn’t say a word, walked over, and kicked him fiercely twice, until the man could no longer curse, only able to wail and beg for mercy. Xiao Zheng’s fierce display scared his accomplices into stunned silence.

No one dared to step out and speak for the guy who got beaten.

Perhaps feeling satisfied, Xiao Zheng stopped after a few harsh kicks, and then he and Leng Ruobing walked over to Chu Xiaoran and Annie, asking, "How are you two? Did nothing happen?"

"So you all are together!" a voice of anger came from the side.

However, Xiao Zheng completely ignored him, looked at Chu Xiaoran, and asked, "Please tell me what’s going on here? How come I went to settle a bill and you ended up arguing with these people?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoran immediately said with grievance, "Xiao Zheng! You have to help me and Annie get revenge! Especially on that guy! You have to teach him a good lesson for us!"

While saying this, she angrily pointed at a young man with her finger.

Xiao Zheng glanced at him and couldn’t help but frown.

Because that young man was the very same person who had been hugging the flashy woman in the corridor during dinner.

Perhaps feeling a bit intimidated by Xiao Zheng’s prowess, when the young man felt his gaze, he immediately became uneasy, avoiding eye contact, not daring to meet Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

"Who is he? Annie, do you know him?"

Xiao Zheng turned back to ask.

Annie only covered her face and cried, not answering him.

In the end, it was Chu Xiaoran who spoke out in anger, "This person is Shi Yihang, Annie’s fiancé! Annie must have been blind to fall for someone like you! You’re getting married next year, yet you still go behind her back fooling around with shady women! Are you even a man?"

Shi Yihang, feeling vexed by her scolding, retorted, "Who I’m with is my private matter. It’s not for you to meddle with! Moreover, Annie and I aren’t married yet, my private matters are none of your business!"

Seeing his determination to act vile and shameless, Chu Xiaoran trembled with rage.

As for Annie, she cried even more heartbreakingly.
