"Here, let wipe the table. You look tired, I’ll help out, okay?"
"Sure!"
So, Wang Xiaohua and Liu Zheng set about cleaning the table together, one in front and one behind.
Wang Xiaohua wiped the table while sneakily glancing at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was tall and dressed in a white suit, looking every inch the corporate executive. The gold-rimd glasses on his nose particularly gave him an air of scholarly refinent.
Wang Xiaohua inwardly praised him. A man like this was the most suitable for Wang Xiaohua.
Before long, they had finished wiping down the table, and the two sat on the sofa watching TV.
"Xiaohua, how old are you this year?"
"17."
"Oh, that’s not so young anymore!"
"Qian Qian, are you still young? How old are you this year?"
"25!" Lin Qianqian answered.
"Oh, that’s quite an age difference!"
Wang Xiaohua cast a glance at Liu Zheng and, seeing that he was still intently watching TV, whispered to Lin Qianqian, "Qian Qian, do you know why Liu Zheng wants to get engaged to us?"
Lin Qianqian shook her head.
"Because..." Wang Xiaohua moved closer and lowered her voice to continue quietly, "Because he’s the CEO of Liu Corporation, and Liu Yi is his younger brother, so..."
Lin Qianqian was extrely surprised upon hearing Wang Xiaohua’s words.
Lin Qianqian had never dread that Liu Zheng was actually the boss of Liu Corporation. Although Liu Corporation wasn’t on the scale of Longxiao Group, it was undoubtedly one of the top enterprises in the country. Their company had branches all over the world and in every major city.
Liu Corporation had many products and many new ones that had been promoted worldwide.
Furthermore, the CEO of Liu Corporation was very handso. It was said that the CEO, now 35 years old, remained dashing, and he was also a doctor of dicine.
Liu Corporation had branches throughout Asia, and their properties included hospitals, hotels, tourist attractions, and shopping malls. Almost everywhere, there were assets belonging to Liu Corporation.
Why would such a powerful corporation want to engage with Wang Xiaohua?
Lin Qian was sowhat puzzled.
Could it be that Liu Zheng was fond of Wang Xiaohua?
Lin Qian shook her head. In terms of both appearance and personality, Liu Zheng was one of the most outstanding n she knew.
"By the way, Qian Qian, do you rember Wang Haoran?"
"Oh, I rember. What about him?"
"He’s pursuing !"
"Ah, it’s him!" Lin Qianqian suddenly understood.
Lin Qian was not well acquainted with many wealthy individuals dostically, but she had t Liu Yi and knew he was a playboy, so she felt sowhat disgusted with Wang Xiaohua.
Lin Qian thought to herself, "I’ll see if you dare bully my sister in the future, hmph!"
"Qian Qian, what’s that attitude for?" Wang Xiaohua asked.
"You’re my younger sister; of course, I support you. But if you truly love him, I advise you to let go of that thought sooner. He’s not worth your love!" Lin Qian said.
"Why is that?" Wang Xiaohua didn’t understand why Lin Qianqian was so averse to Liu Yi.
"You don’t get it. He’s just a heartless scoundrel. If you marry him, you’ll only end up deeply hurt!"
"Then why did you agree to it?"
"Because I want to improve our family’s situation and give you a happy life. Mom and Dad are unwilling to accept him, but I can’t bear to see them disappointed, so I chose to accept him."
"So what you an is, Liu Yi isn’t bad!"
"I didn’t say he’s good, but I’m afraid he won’t treat you well!"
"It’s okay, Liu Yi isn’t that kind of person!"
"Sigh, I hope so!" Lin Qian sighed.
"Are you saying that Liu Yi had a girlfriend before?" Wang Xiaohua inquired.
"Yes! Once he got drunk and started calling a girl ’Xiao Rou’."
"What’s so strange about that? In life, you et a few people you really click with. Maybe Liu Yi is just that type of person," Wang Xiaohua remarked.
"I doubt that!"
"What? How can you be so judgntal?" Wang Xiaohua asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Okay, don’t be upset. I’m not being judgntal. It’s just the facts are clear, and I can’t explain them away!"
"Fine then! Anyway, Qian Qian, thank you for supporting so much!" Wang Xiaohua gratefully looked at Lin Qianqian.
"Silly girl, we’re sisters! What’s there to thank for?"
"Well then, goodnight, Qian Qian."
"Goodnight!"
Liu Zheng glanced at Wang Xiaohua and did not speak, just quietly watched the television.
The next morning, when Wang Xiaohua woke up, she saw Liu Zhengzheng sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her intently.
"Xiaohua, you’re up!" Liu Zheng said to Wang Xiaohua tenderly.
Wang Xiaohua’s face turned red all of a sudden.
"Hehe..." Liu Zheng, seeing Wang Xiaohua’s shy deanor, laughed and said.
"Xiaohua, I’ll take you out for breakfast today!" Liu Zheng suggested.
"Okay, I’ll wash up and be ready in a bit!"
After freshening up, the two left the room and entered the dining room.
In the center of the dining room was a huge glass round table, full of sumptuous food.
Wang Xiaohua, slling the aroma of the dishes, imdiately felt her stomach grumble.
She walked to the chair, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and brought a piece of chicken to her mouth.
"Mmm, this is so delicious!" Wang Xiaohua praised repeatedly, "Liu Zheng, your cooking skills are amazing!"
"Of course!" Liu Zheng replied with a smile, "I grew up learning from a chef, have always enjoyed cooking, and eating these dishes too!"
"So, who’s going to cook for whom in the future?"
"Whatever you want to eat, you just tell , and I’ll do my best to make sothing delicious!" Liu Zheng proclaid with determination on his face.
"Really? Are you serious?" Wang Xiaohua laughed.
"Of course, whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you!" Liu Zheng vowed.
"I don’t want to eat anything!" Wang Xiaohua said.
"How can that be?" Liu Zheng questioned, "Whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you; however much you want, I’ll make it!"
Wang Xiaohua felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Well, then! I’ll accept your offer, with much difficulty!"
"Of course!" Liu Zheng said, laughing.
"Xiaohua, I was just joking with you earlier!"
"I understand! I didn’t take it to heart; I was just asking casually. By the way, Liu Zheng, where are you going today?" Wang Xiaohua suddenly asked.
Liu Zheng looked at Wang Xiaohua with a profound gaze, but quickly returned to his calm deanor, smiling gently at Wang Xiaohua, "I’m temporarily staying next door to you. When you’re free, you can co over and hang out with !"
"Oh!" Wang Xiaohua nodded.
"Today you’re staying nearby, we can go on a date tonight!" Liu Zheng said with a smile.
"No need, I... I have to... go to work today, it might not be possible!" Wang Xiaohua stamred.
"You going to work? How can that be? It’s not very safe for a girl like you to work outside!" Liu Zheng said with concern.
"I’ll be fine, don’t worry!" Wang Xiaohua reassured him.
"That’s still not alright, I’ll pick you up after work!" Liu Zheng insisted, picking up the car keys nearby.
"No need, I can go by myself!" Wang Xiaohua said hurriedly.
"That won’t do!" Liu Zheng vehently stated.
Wang Xiaohua had no choice but to nod in agreent. After all, she also wanted to be more independent.
In the afternoon, just as Wang Xiaohua finished work and was heading to the bus station to go ho, she saw a BMW parked in front of the bus stop.
"Eh, Liu Yi?" Wang Xiaohua was taken aback.
Liu Zheng opened the car door, got out, and smiled, "You’re finally off work?"
"I just left the company today."
"I’ve been waiting for a while, let’s go, I’ll give you a ride!" Liu Yi said and pulled Wang Xiaohua into the car before driving off.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Wang Xiaohua protested.
"You don’t have a car right now, which is inconvenient, and now that we live in the sa city, it’s convenient for you to commute to work!" Liu Zheng explained with a smile.
"You an your car is a loan to ?" Wang Xiaohua asked, surprised.
"Of course, do I need to prove such a thing to you?" Liu Zheng retorted.
"No, I an, didn’t you say you were working? How can you lend your car to ?" Wang Xiaohua said, sowhat annoyed.
"Does it matter to you where I work? Does my job concern you?" Liu Zheng laughed.
"I an your car; you can’t lend it to !"
"Alright then, you send your bank account number, I’ll transfer money to you, and I won’t deduct a penny from your monthly salary!" Liu Zheng offered.
Wang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "Liu Zheng, doing this would hurt your pride! And even then, we’re not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, I can’t take your money."
"But you are my girlfriend!" Liu Zheng claid.
"I don’t want to be your girlfriend!" Wang Xiaohua asserted.
"You are mine, if you are not my girlfriend, then who is?" Liu Zheng said with a smile.
