My beautiful CEO wife

"Really sorry, the word ’beg’ has never been in my dictionary."

Xiao Zheng looked at Li Wei’s gradually collapsing spirit, a trace of cold sarcasm appeared on his face.

With Li Wei’s death, now on the entire overseas island, Xiao Zheng was the only living person. Those indigenous people living on the path were all killed by the aftermath of the battle between the two just now.

Looking at the bodies scattered all over the ground, Xiao Zheng was expressionless.

Then, with a mere thought, his clone vanished directly from sight.

Once he confirmed that Li Wei’s spirit had disappeared, only then did Xiao Zheng fly out of the cave, heading directly toward the coastline. He didn’t return to the Southern Ocean; instead, he flew straight back to Jiangnan Province to meet the Su siblings.

When he arrived in Jiangnan Province, it was only a little past three in the morning.

Xiao Zheng casually found a hotel in the city district, planning to wait until dawn to visit Su Ziwen and the others.

However, when daylight arrived, Su Ziwen’s call came first, startling Xiao Zheng from his sleep: "Ziwen? What is it?"

Upon connection, hearing Xiao Zheng’s voice, Su Ziwen seemed a bit excited: "Good morning, Brother Xiao. I called to check on your safety, nothing much."

"Hearing your voice, we feel much more at ease now."

Having awakened completely, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I told you, there’s no need to worry about me. Those indigenous people are dead, and I’ve already arrived in Jiangnan Province since dawn."

"Hmm? Brother Xiao, you’re in Jiangnan now?" Su Ziwen was first stunned and then asked joyfully, "Where in Jiangnan are you? We’ll come find you now."

After Xiao Zheng reported the hotel’s name, they ended the call.

About half an hour later, the doorbell of Xiao Zheng’s room rang.

Having freshened up, Xiao Zheng went over to open the door and immediately saw Su Ziwen and Su Zimo standing at the door. Seeing that he was indeed unharmed, Su Zimo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Feeling her sense of relief, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh: "What’s with that expression? Aren’t you happy to see me back safe?"

Upon hearing his words, Su Zimo’s face instantly turned red, waving her hands hastily: "No, no! I’m just so happy to see you back safely, which is why I sighed in relief!"

Seeing her overly nervous expression, Xiao Zheng didn’t want to tease her any longer, so he opened his mouth and laughed: "Don’t be too tense, I was just joking with you."

After saying that, he affectionately pinched Su Zimo’s cheek.

Due to Xiao Zheng’s intimate gesture, Su Zimo’s cheeks turned red and hot again, her heart fluttered like a deer, filling her with a sense of happiness. Seeing his sister in such a lovestruck and intoxicated state, Su Ziwen couldn’t help but sigh internally.

After shaking his head, Su Ziwen asked, "Brother Xiao, how long will you stay in Jiangnan Province?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "I might head back tomorrow, as I’ve already spent considerable time out here. Earlier, I traveled from Europe to the Southern Ocean."

"Moreover, there are some matters that I need to deal with urgently back home."

"Are you heading back tomorrow?" Su Zimo asked a bit reluctantly.

After laughing, Xiao Zheng said, "There’s no need for such a melancholy atmosphere. We can meet again in the future. If you miss me, you can visit me in Zhonghai City."

"Enough about this, tell me where you plan to take me today for fun?"

His simple words dispelled the sorrow of parting.

Though Su Zimo still felt a bit reluctant inside, a hint of smile appeared on her face. Su Ziwen, on the other hand, began to perk up; after all, Jiangnan Province was his turf, and no fun spot here escaped his notice.

Xiao Zheng then spent a full day having fun with the Su siblings in Jiangnan Province until the next noon when he returned to Zhonghai City.

After returning to Zhonghai City, he first went home.

Having been away for several days, Xiao Zheng wanted to report peace face-to-face to Leng Ruobing. Yet unexpectedly, Leng Ruobing wasn’t at home, nor was Chu Xiaoran.

His curiosity piqued, Xiao Zheng called them, only to find out they had gone together to attend a lecture.

Knowing their whereabouts, Xiao Zheng felt relieved.

After urging Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran to return home early, he drove straight to the Sky Net headquarters.

The headquarters were peaceful, everyone busy at their posts.

Xiao Zheng didn’t disturb anyone, but casually went to Long Qie’s office.

Without knocking on the door, Long Qie, sitting inside, was initially startled: "Oh, it’s you, Mr. Xiao! You scared me. I wondered who would enter my office without knocking."

"Why? Did you do something shady, which makes you so afraid to be seen?" Xiao Zheng smiled teasingly.

Hearing this, Long Qie couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "I’m here at the headquarters every day; what shady things could I possibly do? If you keep teasing me, I might just throw in the towel!"

"No, come on, I was only joking." Xiao Zheng said helplessly.

Currently, the headquarters were mainly managed by Long Qie. If he decided to quit now, Xiao Zheng would truly have a headache for some time.

"Glad you understand," Long Qie said smugly.

The two exchanged a glance and both couldn’t help but laugh.

After their laughter, Long Qie asked, "By the way, I heard from Miss Leng that you went to Europe again. How did it go? Did you manage to integrate those remaining Golden Bones?"

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I managed to integrate all the Golden Bones I got from the Ghost Raising Family into my body. The results were quite impressive; I’ve now reached the half-step Creation realm."

After saying this, he summoned his clone.

Long Qie was seeing the clone for the first time; when two Xiao Zhengs appeared before him, he was shocked: "Whoa! Is the Creation realm really that powerful? Mr. Xiao, aren’t you invincible now?"

"With the body and clone fighting together, who could possibly withstand that terrifying combat power?"

Feeling his astonishment, Xiao Zheng laughed and then said, "This is nothing yet. According to the Bright Church’s records, the limit for creating clones in the Creation realm is ten. I’ve only created one so far, so it’s too early to say I’m invincible."

After hearing Xiao Zheng’s account, Long Qie couldn’t help but feel a bit of awe.

The realm that Xiao Zheng had reached was something Long Qie could never dare to dream of in his lifetime.
