On Chen Cheng's side, as he felt the breeze, he was wondering whether Zhao Yazu was coming for the sake of the company, Zhencheng?

Or was she coming for ZEN AI?

Before long, he arrived at the side entrance of the Junyue Mansion shopping mall.

This was a less crowded entrance specifically chosen by Zhong Xiaoqin because she was afraid of being seen by her colleagues.

However, she hadn't expected to still be stuck to like a piece of dog-skin plaster.

Stopping at the roadside, Chen Cheng immediately spotted Zhong Xiaoqin looking around, along with the 'little milk dog' Zhong Xiaoyang by her side.

Looking at the well-dressed yet pretentious Zhong Xiaoyang, a smile played on the corners of Chen Cheng's mouth.

This kid probably still has no idea that his prey has already been snatched away by someone else.

Chen Cheng raised his arm and waved at Zhong Xiaoqin, who was standing in front of a mall window display.

"Zhong Xiaoqin!"

Hearing someone call her name, Zhong Xiaoqin was momentarily dazed and looked around to find the source of the voice.

Waiting for Chen Cheng here made her feel like a thief.

She was afraid of being seen by Gu Jia and also afraid of being seen by her colleagues.

Seeing her charmingly naive look, Chen Cheng's smile widened unconsciously.

He waved at her again and shouted, "Over here!"

Only then did Zhong Xiaoqin see Chen Cheng waving at her.

A smile immediately broke out on her face, and she skipped over to him.

As she got closer, she realized Chen Cheng was straddling a motorcycle.

Zhong Xiaoqin was suddenly stunned; this was completely different from the Chen Cheng she had imagined.

Shouldn't a big boss like Chen Cheng be sitting in the back of a luxury car with a driver and Bodyguards clearing the way?

"Why are you riding this?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked, staring blankly at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng spread his hands and countered, "Am I not allowed to ride this?"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked embarrassed. "That's not it."

Chen Cheng chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Where are you planning to take me for dinner?"

"Oh!" Zhong Xiaoqin gave a soft huff and batted Chen Cheng's hand away. "You're messing up my hair."

"Um... let's go eat barbecue. My grilling skills are excellent!"

As Zhong Xiaoqin spoke, she tilted her chin up prettily, looking very proud.

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. "This is the first time I've heard someone say their own grilling skills are excellent."

"Hmph~ so what?" Zhong Xiaoqin gave him a sidelong glance.

Chen Cheng smiled and stopped teasing her. He unbuckled the helmet hanging from the back seat and placed it on her head.

This action gave Zhong Xiaoqin a start; her face flushed bright red, and she didn't dare move.

"Alright, get on." After putting the helmet on Zhong Xiaoqin, Chen Cheng patted the round, hard shell.

The round shape just made people want to reach out and rub it.

"Didn't I say not to touch my head?" Zhong Xiaoqin huffed as she swatted his hand away, then swung her leg over and sat down.

While the two were acting all lovey-dovey, Zhong Xiaoyang rode his own motorcycle and stopped next to Chen Cheng.

"Sister Xiao Qin, who is this?"

Zhong Xiaoqin turned to look at him, then at Chen Cheng. Her eyes darted around as she said, "Is it any of your business?"

Then she whispered urgently in Chen Cheng's ear, "Let's go, quick!"

Chen Cheng glanced at Zhong Xiaoyang with a smile and didn't say a word.

He started the engine, shifted gears, hit the throttle, and sped off in a cloud of smoke.

Leaving Zhong Xiaoyang alone to be bewildered in the wind.

It wasn't that Chen Cheng looked down on him; he simply felt that the two of them were vegetables from different seasons.

They just didn't belong in the same world.

"Whoa~ did you come into some money?" Chen Cheng couldn't help but tease Zhong Xiaoqin as he looked at the location.

With Zhong Xiaoqin giving directions, the two of them made several turns and ended up at the Bund.

In this place, as long as a restaurant had a decent environment, the cost per person wouldn't be cheap.

"This is to thank you," Zhong Xiaoqin said, feeling a bit shy. "So I had to pick a place with a better atmosphere."

"I asked Gu Gu to give me a recommendation."

Gu Jia?

Chen Cheng paused for a moment.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he'd seen the housewife Gu.

He missed her quite a bit.

He smiled and raised an eyebrow at Zhong Xiaoqin. "Let's go~"

"Mm~" Zhong Xiaoqin responded and walked ahead with a cheerful gait.

The two of them found a window seat. Zhong Xiaoqin asked Chen Cheng if there was anything he wanted to eat or any dietary restrictions before ordering the food, truly putting on the air of someone treating a guest.

Chen Cheng naturally didn't want to spoil her fun and happily ordered a 'Happiness Water' (Coke).

There was originally a server to grill the meat, but Zhong Xiaoqin sent them away and turned herself into the server, picking up the tongs to grill the meat.

"How is it?" Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Chen Cheng expectantly.

"Hmm..." Chen Cheng didn't rush to answer. He savored the taste carefully before slowly speaking: "The meat is very tender; you've timed it perfectly."

"Really?" Zhong Xiaoqin looked like a child being praised, her face blooming like a radiant jasmine flower.

"Mm~ of course it's true," Chen Cheng said, putting another piece into his mouth.

Actions spoke louder than words.

In reality, the M9 Wagyu beef Zhong Xiaoqin ordered would be hard to make taste bad as long as it wasn't overcooked.

The two chatted while they ate. Chen Cheng acted like a humble student, asking Zhong Xiaoqin to teach him how to grill meat.

Zhong Xiaoqin was as happy as a child, and Chen Cheng was also in high spirits.

As they ate, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly stopped talking.

Chen Cheng was busy stuffing his face and only noticed after a while.

"What's wrong?"

He asked casually and followed her gaze.

Immediately, Chen Cheng saw two familiar people, and his expression suddenly became quite interesting.

It was Chen the Fish-Rearer.

Oh, wait, sitting opposite him was Yuan Yuan.

So, it should actually be Zhang Anren.

Zhong Xiaoqin gave a huff and turned back, pretending to eat. "It's nothing."

A mischievous smile appeared on Chen Cheng's lips as he asked nonchalantly, "Ran into an acquaintance?"

"Mm~" Zhong Xiaoqin didn't even look up as she replied flatly, "My ex-husband, Chen Yu."

"Ex-husband?" As he spoke, Chen Cheng's eyes widened with a sincere expression. "He found a new love so quickly?"

Hearing this, the muscles in Zhong Xiaoqin's cheeks twitched.

Seeing her face look so terrible, Chen Cheng's smile widened slightly, and he reached out to grab her hand.

"You're already divorced, why are you angry?" Chen Cheng looked at her with a beaming smile.

Zhong Xiaoqin pulled her hand back like a thief. "I'm not angry..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Cheng shyly, a blush creeping onto her fair cheeks.

Chen Cheng immediately understood; she was a bit embarrassed and afraid of being seen by 'Chen the Fish-Rearer'.

"He already has a new love, so what are you afraid of when you're just having a meal with a friend?"

Huh?

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes suddenly widened. "That's right~ I'm just having a meal with a friend, what am I afraid of?"

With that, Zhong Xiaoqin tilted her chin up proudly.

Chen Cheng smiled helplessly; this silly girl still hadn't realized the trap in his words.

The two of them continued to feast for a while longer, only stopping when they were quite stuffed.

When it came time to pay, Zhong Xiaoqin felt a real pang of pain looking at the bill.

In a restaurant that usually cost over 600 per person, the two of them had managed to eat over 1,000 per person.

Mainly because Chen Cheng didn't have the habit of fighting over the bill with others.

If someone said they were treating, then they were treating—no one else could pay.

Zhong Xiaoqin held Chen Cheng's arm, still feeling a bit dazed as they walked to where they had parked.

"Why do I feel like something is weird?"
