My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1805: People Who Don’t Know Their Place

At this moment, a group of people surrounded them from the front.

Although they were disguised as street thugs, Xiao Zheng could tell at a glance that they had received professional training. Reflecting on some events from today, Xiao Zheng easily deduced that Orland had sent them.

As these people approached, they blocked all possible escape routes for the two.

Su Zimo, being a girl, couldn’t help but lean into Xiao Zheng’s embrace in such a situation.

Xiao Zheng, however, was not worried at all. He wrapped an arm around Su Zimo’s slender waist and asked, "Do you have any business with us? I don’t think I’ve met you before."

"Whether you’ve met us or not isn’t important," said their leader, wielding a baseball bat, "You yellow-skinned monkey, if you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for being too arrogant in our country!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s gaze turned instantly cold.

The man seemed unaware of the anomaly. After signaling to his companions, a few people behind Xiao Zheng immediately attacked, pulling out various weapons aimed at Xiao Zheng’s vital spots.

However, Xiao Zheng, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, casually took a step forward while holding Su Zimo, effortlessly dodging their sneak attack from behind.

Seeing this scene, the troublemakers were somewhat astonished.

But they were all well-trained bodyguards, some even from special forces. Such a minor hiccup was not enough to throw them off. Soon, the group charged at Xiao Zheng.

Whether intentional or not, their attacks all avoided Su Zimo.

As for Xiao Zheng, he felt utterly bored.

If it had been in the past, he might have toyed with these people for a while. But now, he thought even saying one more word to them was a waste of energy.

The group hadn’t even seen Xiao Zheng make a move before they, all former French special forces bodyguards, lay sprawled on the ground. As for their baseball bats, they were broken in half.

"Let’s go."

Xiao Zheng turned to Su Zimo, who was still visibly shaken, and smiled slowly.

It was only then that Su Zimo snapped back to her senses, suppressing her racing heart, and nodded silently, following him away. Just then, she suddenly noticed someone nearby struggling to stand up and even pull out a gun from their coat.

"Brother Xiao, watch out!"

Su Zimo immediately cried out a warning.

Xiao Zheng didn’t even look, simply slashing an invisible Gang Qi toward the person drawing the gun. The Gang Qi transformed into a sword, slicing the gun in two. Had Xiao Zheng not shown restraint, the entire arm would have been severed.

"I believe I already warned you not to bother me again."

"This is my last warning: go back and tell Orland, if he doesn’t want to die, he should stop provoking me."

After addressing the terrified group, Xiao Zheng swaggered off with Su Zimo.

After walking about one or two hundred meters, Su Zimo still seemed uneasy and glanced back. Seeing those people not following, she finally relaxed.

"Brother Xiao, were those people really sent by Orland?"

Su Zimo asked, frowning.

In response, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Most likely. I just arrived in France, and the only one who could be considered an enemy is Orland. If not under his orders, how could those people have found me?"

"I’m sorry, Brother Xiao, it’s all my fault that you got dragged into this," Su Zimo said apologetically.

"It’s not your fault, let’s just head straight to the hotel," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

He had never paid much attention to people like Orland, the second-generation rich kids.

Su Zimo, who was used to listening to Xiao Zheng, saw that he didn’t care at all and nodded, following him into the car.

Upon reaching the hotel and confirming their booking, Xiao Zheng led Su Zimo into their room.

This hotel was located by the Seine River, and their suite was on the top floor of the building. From the balcony, they had a sweeping view of all the nightscapes along the Seine.

Both seemed to enjoy this rare moment of leisure, each holding a cup of coffee as they sat on the balcony and chatted.

It wasn’t until past nine in the evening that Su Zimo mentioned she was a bit tired, then blushed as she returned to the room to take a shower and rest. Hearing the splashing water from the bathroom, Xiao Zheng felt his heart stir slightly.

"I- I’ve finished my shower..."

After about ten minutes, Su Zimo’s timid voice came from behind Xiao Zheng.

When Xiao Zheng turned to look, he was momentarily dazed.

After the shower, wearing a robe and loose hair, Su Zimo seemed even more radiant than usual. Her flushed cheeks were utterly inviting.

Whether from shyness or unable to bear Xiao Zheng’s intense gaze, Su Zimo hurriedly dashed into the bedroom after speaking.

Watching her back, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Yet that smile seemed somewhat ambiguous.

"Time for a shower!"

"A night of spring is worth a thousand gold; it shouldn’t be wasted!"

Xiao Zheng then put down his cup, stretched luxuriously, and headed into the bathroom.

Once inside, he discovered that after her bath, Su Zimo had thoughtfully prepared his bathwater. Xiao Zheng tested it with his hand and found the temperature to be perfect.

This made Xiao Zheng appreciate Su Zimo’s thoughtfulness. To not waste her kindness, he quickly stripped and sank into the tub. The tub had a massage feature, and the waves of water against his body provided an indescribable comfort.

Unknowingly, Xiao Zheng lay there for nearly twenty minutes, almost falling asleep.

Noticing the time was late, he quickly wrapped himself in a robe and walked into the bedroom.

But upon seeing the scene in the bedroom, Xiao Zheng found himself at a loss whether to cry or laugh. It turned out that during his bath, Su Zimo had fallen asleep on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Seeing her peaceful slumber, Xiao Zheng didn’t have the heart to disturb her dreams.

"Oh well, I guess I’ll have to play Liu Xiahui tonight."

Xiao Zheng chuckled softly, then prepared to slide under the covers and sleep.

However, just as he was about to lie down, the Ancestor Statue hanging around his neck suddenly emitted a burning sensation!

Xiao Zheng’s brow furrowed as he took the necklace off.

He then discovered that the Ancestor Statue, serving as the pendant, once again began to release wisps of malevolent aura...
