My beautiful CEO wife

Long Qie blushed in embarrassment and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Zheng knew what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don’t take this to heart, it was just an accident and has nothing to do with you."

"By the way, in the few days I disappeared, nothing major happened at home, right?"

Upon hearing his words, Long Qie shook his head and said, "No, besides being busy looking for you, nothing happened. Everything was quite calm on Miss Leng’s side; they still don’t know about your disappearance."

"At the time, I notified everyone, making sure they wouldn’t let the news of your disappearance reach Miss Leng and her group."

Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "You did well, as Ruobing is pregnant right now, and I’m really worried she might get upset. You’ve all worked hard these past few days, so go ahead and call the brothers back, let everyone have a good rest."

"Don’t worry, I just finished notifying them individually, they should be back soon." After a slight pause, Long Qie said, "I originally planned for all of us to have lunch together at noon, but I feel like you probably want to go home now, so let’s do it next time."

"No worries, after all, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat together." Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Then I’ll head off first, and come find you all tomorrow."

Long Qie nodded, then accompanied him to the front door.

Xiao Zheng then returned home, and just as Long Qie had said, it was very peaceful there. Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, upon seeing his return, showed nothing but joy on their faces.

"Xiao Zheng, you’re finally back." Chu Xiaoran approached him with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "You’ve been nowhere to be seen these days, not even a phone call, making us think you disappeared."

"Disappeared? How could that be?" Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "I was just busy taking care of business and didn’t have time to call you."

While taking his coat, Leng Ruobing asked, "Are you hungry? Should I make you something to eat?"

"No need, it’s still early, only eleven thirty." Xiao Zheng said, "Since I finally made it back, let’s go out to eat later."

"It’s not just about eating; I happened to arrange to go shopping with my cousin this afternoon. Now that you’re back, you can come help carry things." Chu Xiaoran teased, "Xiao Zheng, you can’t refuse!"

"Of course I won’t refuse. If it’s about shopping, go ahead and spend all you want!" Xiao Zheng said generously.

When she heard this, Chu Xiaoran immediately cheered in excitement.

As for Leng Ruobing, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

They sat at home for a while.

When noon arrived, Xiao Zheng led Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran out for lunch. The restaurant was a private vegetarian place chosen by Leng Ruobing; since she’s pregnant, her taste has become increasingly light.

But even though it was all vegetarian, the food was still quite good.

Plus, Xiao Zheng hadn’t had a proper meal in a long time, so he ate a lot more for this lunch. He ate twenty bowls of rice, which surprised the restaurant owner so much that he came over to watch.

After lunch, the three of them went to the mall.

The whole afternoon, Xiao Zheng played the role of carrying bags, following behind Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran. By the time they left the mall, it was already dark outside.

It wasn’t until they got home that Xiao Zheng finally had a chance to sit down and rest.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoran had to return to work for some urgent matters at the company, leaving only Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing at home.

Seeing Xiao Zheng sitting tiredly on the sofa, Leng Ruobing made him a cup of coffee: "What’s up? Did you encounter something?"

Although Xiao Zheng seemed normal today, as his wife, Leng Ruobing could still faintly sense something was off about him.

A woman’s intuition was telling her that Xiao Zheng was hiding something from her.

Xiao Zheng, holding the coffee, thought carefully before nodding, "Indeed, I’ve encountered something, and it could be big or small. So I’m contemplating whether I should tell you."

"Go ahead, maybe I can give you some advice." Leng Ruobing sat next to him and perhaps feeling a bit cold, leaned closer to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng smiled and embraced her.

Smelling the fragrance from her hair, Xiao Zheng’s eyes showed a hint of infatuation: "Actually, even if I don’t say it, I know that you must have guessed something."

"Is it about the Ancient Clan?" Leng Ruobing asked.

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it’s about the Ancient Clan. In a few days, I’ve decided to infiltrate the Ancient World..."

He then recounted the conversation he had with Hades that morning to Leng Ruobing, but chose to hide the part about his previous disappearance.

After learning about the existence of the third barrier, a look of surprise appeared on Leng Ruobing’s face: "I didn’t expect there to be a third barrier in this world. You’re planning to use this third barrier to infiltrate the Ancient World, right?"

"That’s right, the location of the third barrier is very secret, and currently, I’m the only one who knows." Xiao Zheng said, "Compared to the other two guarded barriers, this third barrier is undoubtedly safer."

"But what will you do once you’re inside? Are you confident you can come back alive?" Leng Ruobing asked with some concern.

She spoke without much euphemism, directly expressing her worries.

Xiao Zheng said, "I do have some confidence. My biggest worry now is actually about you all. Because while I’m infiltrating the Ancient World, there’s a high chance the Ancient Clan will invade again."

"They have basically figured out my information now, and if they invade again, they’ll definitely come looking for trouble with me first."

"If they can’t find me at that time, they will definitely come after you."

"Are you worried we’ll get caught up in this?" Leng Ruobing asked again.

Xiao Zheng nodded, saying nothing.

Leng Ruobing then patted the back of his hand and said with a smile, "You don’t need to worry about that. We have Long Qie and the others with us, right? Besides, both Xiao Ran and I have now reached the Supreme Realm, so if we sense something’s off, we’ll escape immediately."

"Plus, since you brought this up, it means you must already have a solution in mind."

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Indeed, you can’t hide anything from a smart wife."

"What, are you regretting marrying me?" Leng Ruobing looked at him with a half-smile and asked.

Xiao Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "How could that be? The luckiest thing in my life was marrying you! I love you and cherish you too much to ever regret it."

Leng Ruobing smiled warmly, her heart full of happiness and sweetness.
