The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

The others were a little surprised, but Tan Yu recovered first and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome. Let's go together."

Nie Zheng turned around and asked Chong Jianzhi softly, "Is Richard still urging you? You go first. I will go back tomorrow."

Because he accompanied her to the competition, Chong Jianzhi had delayed a lot of work, leaving Richard alone in Ningjiang to handle it.

"It's okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Chong Jianzhi glanced at Deng Jin indifferently and said.

A few of them booked a restaurant in the city center of the North Shore. Because of the competition, they had been staying in the suburbs for the past few days. The food there was not very delicious, so they basically just wanted to fill their stomachs.

Finally arriving in the city, everyone was ready to have a big meal.

"Everyone, eat as much as you want today. It's my treat!" Nie Zheng said with a wave of his hand.

Tan Yu smiled evilly and said, "Really? This restaurant is the most expensive in Bei'an, the average cost per person is more than one thousand."

Upon hearing that the cost was so high, Nie Zheng immediately changed her tone and waved her hand again, saying, "Everyone, eat as much as you can today. My brother is treating!"

Chong Jianzhi was drinking tea nearby. Hearing what Nie Zheng said, he remained calm and said calmly, "It's her treat today."

Nie Zheng was about to get anxious, but he continued, "My card is her card, she can use it as she pleases."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence at first, and then a sarcastic voice rang out.

"Oh my, President Chongda is always showing off his affection. How can we singles live like this?"

Tan Yu said.

"Isn't it just swiping a card? Baby, I'll give you my card too. You can swipe it as you like. I'll pay for whatever you spend."

Cui Su said.

"Nie Zheng, how much is your monthly salary? It's not less than ten thousand, right?"

Wang Baobao said.

Everyone was talking at once, and the scene was very lively. At this moment, Deng Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"I'll treat you to this meal."

"No, no, how can I let you treat me?" Nie Zheng waved her hands and said, "My brother... E Chong always has money, just let him treat me."

"I wanted to thank you for giving me allergy medicine at the venue today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to finish the competition."

Nie Zheng discovered that Deng Jin was not really that cold. He was just introverted and not good at expressing himself.

He still had no expression on his face when he said those few words just now, but Nie Zheng had already received the gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Since he said so, Nie Zheng couldn't refuse anymore. However, when ordering dishes, maybe everyone was not familiar with him, so when looking at the menu, they didn't know what to order.

"This fish is not bad..." Tan Yu looked at Nie Zheng, then at Deng Jin who was silent beside him, "598 per catty... it's a bit expensive."

Everyone looked at each other, and somehow the situation became a little awkward.

Deng Jin took the menu silently and said to the waiter, "Order one of these fish, one of these fresh duck stew, and one of these crab roe noodles..."

These dishes were the ones they had just cueed, and Deng Jin actually wrote them all down.

"Master Deng is so generous!"

Deng Jin did not reply. After ordering the dishes, he fell silent again, sitting at the table without saying a word, as if he was lost in thought.

No one knew what he was thinking.

The dishes hadn't been served yet, and the scene was a little awkward. Nie Zheng and Chong Jianzhi looked at each other and said, "Deng Jin, if it were me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to perform so stably on the theme you drew today."

She wanted to open up the topic so that she could then ask the questions she wanted to ask.

But unexpectedly, before she asked, Deng Jin told her the key point.

"This question is a bit tricky. Although fragrant snakes are not common, I know a thing or two about them. I have seen incense recipes that use fragrant snakes as the guide."

He had seen... Nie Zheng couldn't help but associate Deng Jin with his adoptive parents.

"Where did you see it?"

As soon as they asked, the waiter came over to serve the dishes, interrupting their conversation.

After being interrupted, Deng Jin seemed to ignore the question she had just asked and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish.

"...You just said that you had seen that recipe before. Actually, I have seen a similar one." She continued the topic, "Where did you see it?"

Deng Jin paused while picking up the food, sighed softly, and asked her, "Are you curious about this?"

She hesitated, not knowing how to answer. If she said she wasn't curious, why would she bother asking questions here? But if she said she was curious, would Deng Jin think she had other thoughts and therefore not tell her the truth...

Just as she was thinking about how to answer Deng Jin's question, the other party spoke first.

"It was left by the elders in the family. I don't know where it came from."

"Can you lend it to me?"

Deng Jin put down his chopsticks, and finally raised his head to look at Nie Zheng. Ever since they met, his eyes had always been calm, with almost no waves. At this moment, he finally released a hint of surprise and a little inquiry in his eyes.

"It's something for the elders. It's inconvenient."

The topic came to an abrupt end here. After receiving a clear rejection, Nie Zheng really had no reason or excuse to continue asking.

She looked at Chong Jianzhi beside her again, and the other party shook his head inaudibly, indicating that she didn't need to ask any more questions.

She knew that Chong Jianzhi felt the same as she did. Since it was about his father and mother, they would not let go of even the slightest clue.

During the meal, he had already sent Richard to investigate information about Deng Jin, and all he had to do now was wait for the results.

Perhaps because of Deng Jin's presence, the meal was not comfortable. Even Tan Yu and Wang Baobao, who were the most talkative, became introverted and just focused on eating. Soon, all the dishes on the table were eaten up.

Feeling that everyone had put down their chopsticks, Deng Jin quietly went to the front desk to pay the bill, then returned and told a few people that he was going home.

The whole process took less than five minutes. Before anyone could react, Deng Jin had already picked up his cloth bag, turned around and went downstairs.

"Why is this brother so weird?"

As soon as he left, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tan Yu was the first to start talking, followed by Wang Baobao.

"This Deng Jin has an even uglier face than Chong Jianzhi. I feel embarrassed even to burp next to him." said Wang Baobao.

Although what he said was true, Chong Jianzhi, who was used as a negative comparison example, was still at the dining table. He was inexplicably being compared to others, and he felt helpless, so he got up and went downstairs to smoke.

During the break from smoking, Nie Zheng also came down. When he saw her coming down, he subconsciously put out the few remaining cigarettes.

"Brother, I really feel that there is some kind of connection between Deng Jin and my parents." She said firmly, "I have seen the recipe for the incense he used in today's competition in my parents' work notes. If it was an ordinary incense, it would be fine, but the Guyana incense snake, I bet that 90% of perfume makers have never even heard of it, let alone seen the incense recipe related to it. I don't believe this kind of coincidence."

Chong Jianzhi listened quietly, and during the process he took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.
