The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

Nie Zheng wanted to play dumb, but Chong Jianzhi suddenly covered her mouth. She couldn't speak, so she could only frown at the man in front of her and shook her head desperately, trying to stop him from talking.

"I know you haven't forgotten, and I also know you don't want to face this matter. But what I want to tell you is that I will be responsible to the end."

Nie Zheng blinked twice, caught off guard by the other party's solemn promise, and was speechless.

"We are not related by blood. I know you are afraid, and I will protect you." Chong Jianzhi touched Nie Zheng's head and asked, "Don't you believe me?"

Nie Zheng certainly believed it, but Touyun had just launched a new product, and the scandal between the two had just passed. Chong Jianzhi had sworn to the media that they were just siblings. If the two were photographed doing anything inappropriate again, it would be an irreparable mistake for both Chong Jianzhi and Touyun.

When she thought of this, Nie Zheng began to back down again. Since she couldn't win the argument, she could only run away, and the longer she could delay, the better.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

She picked up her bag and wanted to leave. Chong Jianzhi of course knew what she was thinking. This time he must not let Nie Zheng run away first.

"Give me an answer before you go to the bathroom."

Nie Zheng was grabbed as soon as she stood up. Chong Jianzhi was very strong and she was pulled back to the chair.

"Brother, please don't make it difficult for me."

Chong Jianzhi also felt wronged: "That's not what you said when you pestered me last night."

Nie Zheng's face turned red with embarrassment: "Stop talking."

"I wanted to leave last night, but you wouldn't let me. You leaned on me and even ripped off two buttons of my shirt. Nie Zheng, you have such a cruel heart—"

Nie Zheng had never expected that Chong Jianzhi would say these words. If hard tactics didn't work, he would resort to soft tactics, and he was actually acting a trick on her.

While the two were arguing, there was a knock on the door outside the private room.

Nie Zheng didn't understand what was going on, so she looked up at Chong Jianzhi, only to see that he understood everything and said, "Come in."

Richard finally arrived.

Nie Zheng was speechless. Looking at the decadent man at the door, she felt really disappointed with him.

"What's the point of you coming now? The person has already left."

Upon hearing that Bian Xiaoyue had left, Richard leaned against the wall with an expression of hidden pain.

Nie Zheng pulled him to sit down, and he sat in the seat where Bian Xiaoyue had sat before. As soon as Richard leaned back in his chair, he found the denim jacket left by the woman.

He stared blankly at the somewhat worn-out coat and reached out to touch it, but then he seemed a little scared and retracted his hand.

"She is still wearing this dress..."

"She had been wearing it before today." Nie Zheng deliberately made her words sound serious in order to provoke this stubborn man, "But she has left the clothes here. She doesn't want them anymore."

Richard was so sad that his lips were trembling. He hugged the clothes in his arms, hunched over, and looked like he had aged ten years in an instant.

"It's not like there's no hope, but you can't keep letting her chase you. Bian Xiaoyue is tired now. She thinks you don't like her at all."

"I like her. I like her very, very much." Richard finally told the truth.

From Richard, Nie Zheng learned the whole truth. Chong Jianzhi thought some things were Richard's privacy, so he didn't reveal them.

"When the Bian family found out about us, they kidnapped me and threatened me to separate from her. They also said they would get rid of my family." At this point, Richard suddenly laughed sarcastically, "They must not have investigated thoroughly. How could I have any family? My parents died a long time ago, and I grew up in an orphanage. I was able to study abroad with the inheritance my parents left me."

"Then you have nothing to worry about."

"Later, they...thought of another trick."

Nie Zheng finally understood why Richard had been hiding from Bian Xiaoyue all these years. Perhaps if that incident had not happened, Richard would have been braver.

"When the Bian family found out that I was unmoved, they thought of another way. They set me up and made me invest all the money I earned from working while studying abroad in a shell company. I lost everything and even owed a huge debt. The interest on the money kept compounding and the debts kept increasing. The debt collectors would throw red paint at the door of my rental house every day. If I couldn't pay back the money within ten days, they would kill me."

"How much did you owe?"

"About a few hundred thousand dollars." Richard seemed reluctant to talk about what happened back then. "The Bian family came to find me again and they took out a check again. I looked at the check on the table and knew that it was enough to buy my life."

"Did you receive the money?"

Richard nodded painfully: "They gave me a full half a million dollars. When I accepted the money, I knew that I was no longer worthy of being with her."

Nie Zheng also reacted at this time: "This is a trap set by the Bian family, right? They put you in jail, and then pretended to rescue you."

Richard nodded.

"Too despicable... They did this. Even if Bian Xiaoyue knew about it, she could only blame you for your poor financial management, and they would have been cleared of all the blame long ago."

"I did take their money. Later, I followed Mr. Chong and finally earned my first $500,000. I transferred the money to the Bian family, but they didn't want it. They said... that little money couldn't even buy a watch."

There was a moment of silence in the private room. Nie Zheng didn't know what else to say to comfort the downtrodden and heartbroken man in front of her.

"Forget it, it's all over, everything is over." Richard smiled bitterly, "I am not worthy of her, I am just a poor boy, she should find a better man, someone who is equal to her."

Richard looked at the leftovers on the table in front of him, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite and put it in his mouth: "There is no ginger. She must have told the chef to do that, right?"

"Bian Xiaoyue is a good girl. She really likes you."

Richard knew in his heart that he had really missed it this time.

"Boss Chong, can I have a cigarette?"

"During my vacation, you don't have to call me President Chong."

Richard took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it slowly. His fingertips were trembling slightly. Nie Zheng could feel how heartbroken he was.

But this matter seems to have become a dead end and cannot be solved.

At this time Chong Jianzhi suddenly spoke up: "You have been following me for almost ten years."

"Yes...senpai."

"Tomorrow morning you will draft a share transfer contract, and all the shares I hold in that overseas company will be transferred to your name. Although that company has just started, it is developing well. If you work hard, it will get better and better."

Richard didn't understand for a moment. He asked Chong Jianzhi in confusion: "Mr. Chong, I don't understand what you mean?"

"In recent years, I have shifted my focus to China. Zhengyue and Touyun have kept me busy enough. I have long wanted to sell the overseas company, so I will give it to you."
