Widow sister-in-law: Silly boy, be gentler! Chapter 785 - 784: Looking at Each Other in Bewilderment

"Three!"

"Two!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

Hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Li Hong and his two subordinates looked at each other, then slunk away from the villa.

"Phew!"

Watching Li Hong and the others leave, Liu Zheng took a deep breath of relief.

The battle from the past few minutes had consud too much of his energy, and he felt sowhat exhausted.

Liu Zheng rubbed his temples and walked slowly back into the villa.

"Liu Zheng?"

"Is that you?"

Just then, Li ngxue’s voice suddenly rang out.

Looking towards the source of the voice, Liu Zheng saw Li ngxue, dressed in a white dress, and was montarily stunned.

"ngxue?!"

Liu Zheng gazed into Li ngxue’s eyes and, for a mont, was utterly captivated.

Li ngxue also paused briefly.

She never dread that Liu Zheng would actually show up at her ho.

At that mont, Liu Zheng looked like a prince, his handso face complented by his sharp features, making him look even more dashing.

Li ngxue stared at Liu Zheng blankly, montarily losing her composure.

"ngxue, are you alright?"

Coming back to his senses, Liu Zheng cleared his throat and asked with concern.

"I, I’m fine," Li ngxue shook her head and replied.

Liu Zheng took a couple of steps forward and touched Li ngxue’s head: "ngxue, thank you for what you did today."

"It’s nothing," Li ngxue blushed and responded.

"Alright, let’s sit down and have a chat," Liu Zheng nodded.

"Hmm!" Li ngxue nodded lightly.

"ngxue, how did you find ? Weren’t you in Hong Kong?" Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

He rembered that Li ngxue had said she was attending the archaeology departnt, but now, how had she co back to Yanjing City?

"I just ca back last night," Li ngxue sighed and said, "You know about last night’s incident, right?"

"Yeah! I’m aware!" Liu Zheng nodded.

"Actually, it was all the doing of that guy nad Li Hao; he wanted to kidnap you to force to marry him!" Li ngxue said angrily.

"Why would he do that? Just because he admires ?" Liu Zheng was puzzled and asked, not understanding.

"Of course not!" Li ngxue shook her head and said, "He likes you, so I beca his pawn!"

Hearing Li ngxue’s words, Liu Zheng was sowhat surprised.

"He likes ? What gives him the right to like ?" Liu Zheng asked in astonishnt.

"That I don’t know," Li ngxue replied with a bitter smile.

"Sigh!"

Liu Zheng exhaled hopelessly and asked: "ngxue, why did you help then?"

"Because I didn’t want you to get hurt," Li ngxue looked into Liu Zheng’s eyes and said earnestly, "Because you are very important to ."

At her words, Liu Zheng felt touched.

Though Li ngxue had simply expressed her feelings, Liu Zheng knew he was completely captivated.

"ngxue, don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble," Liu Zheng said solemnly, "I will take good care of myself."

Li ngxue nodded: "I believe in you!"

"ngxue, I really owe you thanks for today. If not for you, I might have been in danger," Liu Zheng said gratefully.

"You don’t need to thank ; you’ve helped so many tis before. Consider this my way of repaying the favour," Li ngxue shook her head and replied.

Liu Zheng nodded; he did not demur further, for he understood Li ngxue’s feelings for him.

"Then, from now on, we’re friends!" Li ngxue said cheerfully.

"Yes! From now on, we’re friends," Liu Zheng emphatically nodded.

Liu Zheng didn’t think much further, for such things didn’t matter to him at all.

"Alright then, I’ll just call you Liu Zheng for the ti being!" Li ngxue said with a smile, "Liu Zheng, if I ever have any trouble in the future, you better not ignore ."

Liu Zheng laughed heartily: "Don’t worry, ngxue, just say the word, and I’ll definitely help you!"

"That’s what you said, you can’t go back on your word!"

"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back like a wagon drawn by horses!"

Li ngxue revealed a brilliant smile, "Liu Zheng, are you going to stay the night here tonight?"

"Uh... that’s actually a pretty good suggestion," Liu Zheng scratched his head, chuckling sheepishly.

"Liu Zheng! You jerk! You actually dare to flirt with !"

"Hmph!"

"You... you..."

Li ngxue pointed at Liu Zheng, her pretty face flushed red, montarily at a loss for words.

"Hey, don’t be mad! I was just joking, just joking!" Liu Zheng touched his nose awkwardly, quickly apologizing, "Look, we know each other so well, you don’t mind, so forgive this ti, okay?"

"Who knows you so well!"

"Hehe!"

"Hmph!"

Li ngxue snorted coldly and turned to walk into the villa.

"Co on, just think of it as doing a favor, that’s okay, right?" Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Fine!" Li ngxue hesitated for a mont, then said through gritted teeth.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Zheng hurriedly scurried after Li ngxue like an obedient child.

Li ngxue couldn’t help but let out a snicker at Liu Zheng’s behavior.

"As long as you’re laughing, that’s good, that’s good!" Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Liu Zheng and Li ngxue sat on the couch, chatting idly.

The two had been desk mates since high school, and their relationship was very close.

After a long conversation, Liu Zheng realized that Li ngxue was already twenty-six this year, yet she still acted like a child, lively and adorable.

This made Liu Zheng feel as if he had returned to those youthful days of junior high.

However, he quickly pulled himself back to the present, as he was no longer that naive young teenager.

Liu Zheng looked at Li ngxue and asked, "ngxue, I want to ask you sothing, and you must tell the truth."

Li ngxue was taken aback, then nodded her head.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "So tell , when you were kidnapped, how did you manage to escape?"

"The day you left, I was actually planning to call the police, but then I thought you would worry about , so I didn’t make the call. I ca up with an idea."

"Go on," urged Liu Zheng.

"It was nothing much really, I just sneakily took the phone and hid it under a chair.

Then I took the chance to run down the stairs when the kidnappers were away, hiding at the stairwell waiting for them to co back."

Liu Zheng suddenly understood, then asked again, "How did you know the kidnappers would co back?"

"Because once they ca back, they would notice that my room had been turned upside down."

"But how could you be sure it was your doing?" Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

Li ngxue said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that I studied Taekwondo? Even though I’m only so-so at it, I still know how to gauge soone’s strength, speed, reactions, jumping ability, and so on."

"You’re really amazing!"

Liu Zheng exclaid sincerely.

"Of course! I’m a top student, you know!" Li ngxue said proudly.

Liu Zheng admired the confident Li ngxue and couldn’t help but feel awed.

It seed like Li ngxue hadn’t slacked off in these past few years! Not only had she learned Taekwondo, but she had also greatly improved her skills.

Liu Zheng thought to himself, "Looks like I can’t fall behind either. I must work harder, or how can I keep up with ngxue’s pace in the future?"

"By the way, ngxue, didn’t you say that you encountered kidnappers? What happened to the kidnappers now? Are you okay?" Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"I beat the kidnappers down," Li ngxue said playfully, sticking out her tongue, "but they haven’t left yet."

"What?"

Hearing Li ngxue’s words, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but frown.

He never imagined that Li ngxue would dare to fight the kidnappers!

"Liu Zheng, I’m fine,"

Seeing Liu Zheng’s worried expression, Li ngxue’s face turned red as she explained, "They were just so thugs, I’m not afraid of them at all."

"ngxue, you’re being too reckless. Do you think you’re so heroine from a martial arts novel? You could get in real trouble!" Liu Zheng scolded sternly, "You’re a girl, you can’t be so careless!"

"Liu Zheng, stop lecturing ," Li ngxue pouted, "What about you? Why did you co here?"

"Ah... well...," Liu Zheng coughed awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

He indeed didn’t want to tell Li ngxue the truth.
