Lu Chongli's voice was dissatisfied.
"I...I was just taking a shower." Ling Zheng explained in a low voice.
Lu Chongli's voice softened, "I arrive in Shicheng, where do you live?"
"ah?"
Lingzheng was startled and completely stunned.
Lu Chongli chuckled and opened the car window to get some air, "Why, are you shocked?"
Lingzheng was at a loss, "Don't scare me."
"I came to you to scare you?" Lu Chongli asked.
"No." Lingzheng sat on the edge of the bed, her mind as confused as paste. "I'm just surprised. Don't you want to work?"
"I took annual leave and was on duty to fly abroad during the Chinese New Year."
Lu Chongli said softly, "I came here because of Cheng Xi's instructions. She doesn't trust you. Besides, I should be considered a good friend of yours. Your mother is so ill, so I have reason to come and visit."
Lingzheng was moved. She also felt that Cheng Xi really cared about her. Cheng Xi made several calls after she returned to her hometown.
"Have you booked a hotel? I'll book a room for you." Ling Zheng said hurriedly.
"I've already ordered it."
"Then you go to the hotel first. Which hotel are you staying in? I'll come find you." Ling Zheng didn't want Lu Chongli to come here.
"Don't you want me to visit your home?" Lu Chongli asked.
"It's too late today. Don't worry. Our city is quite small. It won't take long for me to come to your hotel."
"In that case, I'll pick you up at the door of your community." Lu Chongli said.
"No." After Lingzheng refused, the place became quiet. She was panicked, fearing that he would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "It's not that I don't welcome you, but you know the character of my family. Our community is quite small. Many people are walking outside at night. If they see your car, my family might blackmail you."
"If you want to blackmail me, you have to see if you have the ability." Lu Chongli said calmly.
Ling Zheng pursed her lips, her eyes bitter.
She knew that Lu Chongli had this ability, but she didn't want her family to disturb him.
When Lu Chongli saw her speechless, he had no choice but to tell her the hotel address.
Ling Zheng quickly changed her clothes, and when she went out, she said to Ling's father and Ling's mother, "Mom and Dad, my high school classmates asked me to go out for a supper."
Ling's mother muttered dissatisfaction, "It's already night, and I'm still running out. I don't feel comfortable at all..."
Father Ling pushed her, turned to Ling Zheng and said kindly, "Go ahead and remember to come back early. It's never safe for a girl to play outside too late."
"good."
After Lingzheng left.
Ling's mother said angrily, "Why did you let her go out? There is still time to go out and play. Why didn't you wash our clothes?"
"Please calm down." Father Ling explained, "If you are too mean to her and send her back to Su City, you will be in trouble. No matter what, just bear with it for the next two days."
Thinking about tomorrow's arrangements, Ling's mother immediately shut her mouth.
...
Ling Zheng took a taxi and arrived at the hotel Lu Chongli had booked in about twenty minutes.
It is also the only five-star hotel in Shicheng.
There are no presidential suites in such a small city, only luxury suites.
As soon as Ling Zheng knocked on the door, the door opened, a hand stretched out and pulled her in.
After the door slammed shut, before Ling Zheng could see the face of the man in front of her clearly, the familiar smell of male bitter perfume enveloped her, and her lips were tightly blocked.
