The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

"I'm not stupid. You just want to say that Bai Chaochao's family situation is not a good match for me."

Nie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't you understand it very well?"

Lou Fan was a little emotional: "Nie Zheng, you are Bai Chaochao's best friend, how can you say that to her? How come she is not worthy of me? She is the best girl in the world, and it is me who is not worthy of her."

Nie Zheng was stunned when she heard Lou Fan's words, and her heart was moved: "Of course our Chao Chao is worthy of you. I never thought she was inferior to you. But in this situation, will your family agree to you being together? Bai Chao Chao is stubborn. She is in love with the intention of being together for life. You rich young masters will always find someone of the same social status in the end. She just doesn't want to get involved, and finally be disliked by your family and abandoned by you. Do I understand, Lou Fan?"

Nie Zheng didn't want to say these words. This was Bai Chaochao's own business. Even if the relationship between the two was good, she shouldn't say these words for him.

Lou Fan was silent.

He used to think that love was a matter between two people, and as long as they liked each other, he never cared about the other person's family conditions or background.

Once it is tainted with these things, love becomes corrupted. Love is originally pure. If it comes with those additional conditions, is it still love?

So he never thought that Bai Chaochao would consider so much.

"If you've figured it out, stop chasing Chao Chao. I can see that she likes you, but there are many things... not just about liking someone."

After saying this, Nie Zheng felt very uncomfortable. She was saying this to Lou Fan, but it also seemed like she was saying it to herself.

Everyone understands these principles, but how many people can actually put them into practice?

Lou Fan said nothing, just stood up and left as if he was possessed by a demon.

Nie Zheng couldn't tell what decision Lou Fan had made. Maybe he had given up, and it was fine to give up. A short pain is worse than a long one.

After Lou Fan left, Chong Jianzhi spoke quietly: "I know Lou Fan. If he really likes someone, all the difficulties will not be difficulties."

"Lou Fan can only talk to Bai Chaochao about these things herself. I have no right to persuade her." Nie Zheng was also distressed. "If it were me, I would also back down."

Chong Jianzhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"An unequal relationship is too frightening. If we separate, there will be nothing left." Nie Zheng's tone was not without regret, "Chao Chao has already felt that feeling... of falling from the sky to a cliff. How can she bear it if she has to go through it again?"

"Do you think that the equality of a relationship is measured by money?"

Nie Zheng shook her head: "It's not the money, it's the social status that money brings."

Chong Jianzhi stopped talking, as if he was convinced by her.

"Oh, right." Nie Zheng suddenly remembered that during dinner, Bian Xiaoyue mentioned Richard out of nowhere. "Why did Richard suddenly ask for leave? What happened to him?"

"fine."

Nie Zheng felt something was strange. She always felt that there was something wrong with Chong Jianzhi's expression, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Normally, if Richard wanted to take such a long leave, as Chong Jianzhi's special assistant, he should at least hand over his work to Xiao Chen before leaving. But when Nie Zheng went to Chong Jianzhi's office today, Xiao Chen was obviously in a hurry and it was clear that he was not ready for Richard to leave.

Richard must have encountered an emergency situation when he asked for leave this time.

Back in the bedroom, Nie Zheng called Richard. To be honest, after dealing with each other for so long, all the interactions between Nie Zheng and Richard were related to Chong Jianzhi. The two had almost no contact in private.

The phone was connected and rang for a long time, but Richard didn't answer. Nie Zheng thought the other party was busy, so she left him a message and asked him to call her back when he was not busy.

The call never came. Nie Zheng felt uneasy, so she called Richard again.

After more than ten seconds, the other party finally picked up the phone.

"Ms. Nie Zheng, are you okay?"

When Nie Zheng heard Richard's voice, she realized something was wrong. Richard's voice was a little hoarse, and it was different from the tone he used when they usually met and talked. Because they were not meeting face to face, their hearing became more sensitive.

"Richard, why did you suddenly ask for leave? Did something happen?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm just a little worried about you. If you need my help, feel free to contact me."

"Yeah. I just don't want to go to work. I want to take a break."

Nie Zheng didn't believe this at all. Richard was just like Chong Jianzhi, a workaholic. He didn't feel tired at all after going to work every day. What's more, Richard had a special feeling for Chong Jianzhi. The relationship between them was not just that of superiors and subordinates, but also that of friends.

"Then... have a good rest." Nie Zheng knew that the other party must have encountered something, but she couldn't ask any further. This was Richard's privacy, and she knew her limits.

After hanging up the phone, Nie Zheng couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned in bed, thinking. The clock on the wall went around and around, and it was already early morning, but she was still not asleep.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly vibrated. Nie Zheng was alert at the moment, so she quickly took out the cell phone from under the pillow. It turned out to be a call from Tan Yu.

"What's up so late?"

"Do you know where Richard lives?" There was a lot of noise from Tan Yu's end, most likely in a nightclub or bar.

"What's wrong?" Nie Zheng was a little confused. "Why are you asking Richard in the middle of the night?"

"You think I want to? Your special assistant is drunk right now, lying on his back at the door of the bar and snoring! I'm really afraid that he will be trampled to death by some drunkard!"

Nie Zheng jumped up from the bed: "What's going on?"

Tan Yu was dragging people towards the door. There were too many drinkers coming and going, and most of them were confused and unable to take care of themselves, so they had no time to check if there was someone lying at their feet.

"Where are you two? I'll be there now."

Tan Yu sent the address of the bar, and Nie Zheng put on her clothes and went out. She had not intended to look for Chong Jianzhi, but unexpectedly, as soon as she went downstairs, she found that Chong Jianzhi was still awake and was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a glass of wine in front of him.

"...Can't sleep?" Nie Zheng spoke first.

Chong Jianzhi nodded, and seeing that Nie Zheng was dressed neatly, he asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

There was nothing to hide from Chong Jianzhi, so Nie Zheng told him directly. After listening, Chong Jianzhi frowned and stood up to go with Nie Zheng.

"Wait a minute, brother..." Nie Zheng pointed at the loose pajamas the other person was wearing, "Why don't you change your clothes?"

Chong Jianzhi realized that he was too impatient after being reminded, and went back to his room to change his clothes and went out with Nie Zheng. The car was driving very fast until they reached the door of the bar. Nie Zheng felt that if Chong Jianzhi drove for another minute, she would vomit everything in her stomach.
