The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

Not getting any response, Nie Zheng guessed that Chong Jianzhi might have fallen asleep. She didn't want to disturb him, so she thought of taking a melatonin pill from her bag and taking it, and then she would be able to fall asleep.

The bag was placed on the wooden shelf behind the closed door. Nie Zheng hesitated for a while before finally tiptoeing down to the bed.

She walked a few meters in such a tortuous way that she finally reached the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a person standing outside. That person was undoubtedly Chong Jianzhi. Nie Zheng was startled to see that the other person had his hands in his pockets, just standing there quietly, like an exquisite sculpture.

"Brother... are you okay?" Nie Zheng smelled a little bit of cigarette smoke and guessed that the other party had just smoked, so she answered the question for Chong Jianzhi, "Want to come out for a smoke?"

Chong Jianzhi did not answer, and was silent for two seconds, then another terrible thunder sounded. She trembled all over, her eyes tightly closed, and her ears were covered by hands. The palms were broad and warm, and her heart calmed down immediately, and even her fear was reduced a lot.

Chong Jianzhi covered her ears with his hands. He did not let go until the thunder passed. He held her head with both hands, moved closer, and held her in his arms.

Chong Jianzhi did the same.

He felt relieved that the hug blocked the terrifying lightning for Nie Zheng, and he was even more relieved that Nie Zheng did not push him away.

After that night, there were some subtle changes in the relationship between the two. Neither of them broke the window paper, and they tacitly maintained this ambiguity.

After the highway was repaired, Xiaoyun and Yuanye returned to Ningjiang first due to work reasons.

Richard's car had already parked outside the door. The two of them packed up their things in the room, their movements becoming slower and slower. What should have taken fifteen minutes to complete took two hours.

Someone always has to speak first.

It was the weekend. Chong Jianzhi took out his cell phone to check the time, then sat on the sofa for a while and asked Nie Zheng, "Do you have anything to do this weekend?"

"It's okay." She answered almost immediately.

This way Chong Jianzhi could naturally ask: "How about staying here for two more days? This is an ancient town with many 4A-level scenic spots. Since we are here, why not go shopping?"

The steps had been paved, so Nie Zheng was no longer reserved and went down.

"OK……"

She was waiting for this moment, holding the strap of her backpack, her heart pounding. She didn't know why she was so nervous, as if she was possessed by a demon.

After hearing the answer, Chong Jianzhi didn't waste even a second and called Richard downstairs to ask him to go upstairs and book another room.

"Boss Chong... I won't bother you anymore. How about I go back to Ningjiang first and come pick you up next Monday?"

Chong Jianzhi shook his head to refuse. The relationship between him and Nie Zheng was inexplicably ambiguous. That kind of inexplicable feeling needed time to slowly digest. If Richard was present, the two of them would get along more naturally.

With that decision made, the two-day trip for the three of us officially began.

The sky finally cleared up and the ancient town was bustling with activity. Walking along the main street, the buildings on both sides of the road still retained their original ethnic characteristics, with white walls, gray tiles, and wooden carved doors and windows.

Nie Zheng was particularly interested in these buildings with a rich history. She stopped and walked along the way and took a lot of photos.

The two big men beside him naturally just served as supporting roles. Richard had to answer work calls from time to time. That was because Chong Jianzhi had set his phone to silent mode in order to concentrate on playing. Since his subordinates couldn't find Chong Jianzhi, they naturally had to come to find Richard.

Richard knew that Chong Jianzhi had always put work at the center of his life. He was either at work or working overtime, and hadn't had a rest for several years. It was rare for him to have two days to relax, and considering the high salary that Chongda's president paid him, he had to let Chong Jianzhi and Nie Zheng have fun.

There is a long river flowing through the town. When the water waves rise under the sunlight, they shine like silver, so bright that people can't even open their eyes.

Nie Zheng was moved and blurted out: "When I was a child, I always thought about finding a place near mountains and rivers to live out my retirement life. How happy that would be."

In the restaurant, Nie Zheng was flipping through the photos she had taken in the morning and sighed to the two grown men sitting across from her at the table.

Richard couldn't help but tease: "You are still far from retirement."

Nie Zheng sighed: "I really want to retire tomorrow."

"There are many places near mountains and rivers. Do you have any favorites?"

This question stumped Nie Zheng. She grew up in the city and had seen more rural life in books and videos. When Chong Jianzhi asked her to name a place, her mind went blank.

Nie Zheng smiled and said, "I really can't put it into words right now."

"Then take another look and tell me."

Nie Zheng turned around and saw that Chong Jianzhi didn't look like he was joking. She was a little confused, just like being asked a question by a teacher in class, why did Chong Jianzhi suddenly become so serious?

"...Okay." Nie Zheng frowned and said in confusion.

A few people walked along the main street all the way to the square in the center of the ancient town. There were many stalls set up by vendors in the square, which looked more modern and lively.

The other stalls were bustling with people, but there were only a few people standing by the northern corner of the square. Compared with the other stalls, it seemed that no one was interested.

Nie Zheng followed the faint fragrance to the stall and found that, indeed, they were selling incense.

"What's with you?"

Nie Zheng was stunned by the stall owner's question. She stood in front of his stall because she wanted to buy his things. The stall owner asked, "What can I do for you?" Nie Zheng was confused as to whether she was busy or not...

The stall owner's attitude was not very good, even a little arrogant. In such a busy city, there are not many people who know how to appreciate fragrance. He came here to make a living, mostly out of self-admiration.

Nie Zheng squatted down, looked at the incense wrapped in the sandalwood box, and wanted to open it to have a look, but was stopped by the stall owner.

"Don't move if you don't buy it."

"I'll buy it. How can I buy it without looking?" Nie Zheng thought this man was a little funny.

"You understand, so you buy it?"

"You sell incense, I buy incense, do you understand that it's important?"

The man rolled his eyes at Nie Zheng again: "If I say it's important, then it's important."

Nie Zheng shook her head and glanced at Chong Jianzhi and Richard. Then, she pointed at the incense the stall owner was burning and said confidently, "It's the old bureau of Er Su. It's made with agarwood, sandalwood, frankincense, amber, honey, and jasmine."

The man was stunned. He didn't expect that he actually met someone who knew about this. He took off the sunglasses he had been wearing and looked at Nie Zheng from head to toe. His expression had changed from contempt to slight surprise: "You know?"

The tone expressed his shock that he could meet a close friend in this bustling city.

Nie Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I understand."
