The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO
Chapter 75 I Want More Than Just Your Thanks
Qiao Li was in a depressed mood after parting with Zheng Yue on bad terms. Then Yao Ran called him again. He had clearly blocked Yao Ran before, but the other party didn't give up and called him with a new number.
As soon as the call was connected, the other party started crying loudly into the phone.
"Xiao Li, I'm scared to be alone... There are cockroaches in the house! I'm so hungry now and no one cooks for me. Can you hire a nanny to take care of me--"
Without hearing her finish her words, Qiao Li hung up the phone impatiently.
As Yao Ran kept pushing him further, he discovered more and more about Nie Zheng's good points. She was not competitive or demanding, but honest and kind. Qiao Li had never seen such a pure girl in his circle.
And now, he has one more reason to be with Nie Zheng.
Chong Jianzhi had already declared war on him. If he was with Nie Zheng, he would be able to better contain the other party.
Everyone knows that Chong Jianzhi, who has always been hard-hearted and doesn't care about anything, has only this one weakness.
After blocking Yao Ranxin's number, Qiao Li looked at his watch and found that it was almost time, so he called Nie Zheng.
At this moment, Nie Zheng was still in a meeting in the conference room. The research and development of a new product had recently reached the final stage. She spent almost the entire day in the laboratory, and would attend meetings when she returned to the office. It seemed like her supervisor had endless nonsense to talk about, repeating the same sentence several times in different sentence structures, without end.
When Qiao Li called, she was already a little drowsy, but was startled by the vibration of her phone and suddenly woke up. When she was hesitating whether to go out to answer the call, the phone was suddenly hung up.
Immediately afterwards, Nie Zheng received a text message from Qiao Li.
——Are you busy? I'm downstairs in your company, waiting for you to get off work and have dinner together.
After thinking about it, Nie Zheng put the phone under the table, quietly typed "okay", and sent the message.
The meeting lasted nearly two hours and it was almost nine o'clock when it ended. Nie Zheng waited for the supervisor to say the last word, then she impatiently rushed out of the office first, jogging all the way. After getting off the elevator, she found Qiao Li standing on the roadside in front of the company building.
The two went to have dinner. After dinner, Nie Zheng wanted to go to the hospital to see Bai Chaochao's father. He had just undergone surgery last week and his condition was not very stable yet.
"Go tomorrow. I have plans today."
Nie Zheng thought Qiao Li wanted to take her to the mall and take a walk as usual. She was about to refuse, but he had already started the car.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the pet hospital.
"You asked me where Meiqiu was when you just came back. I told you that I was too busy with work, so I left the cat at my cousin's house in Fanshan. In fact, I lied to you." He smiled apologetically and continued, "In fact, Meiqiu had feline infectious peritonitis some time before you came back. The condition was not optimistic. I was afraid that you would worry, so I hid the fact that it was being treated in the pet hospital from you. Meiqiu had a hard time this month and almost couldn't stand it several times. Fortunately, it is as strong as you and is almost recovered under treatment. I brought you to see it today. It will probably be discharged from the hospital in a week."
Nie Zheng was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat when she heard that Meiqiu had contracted feline infectious peritonitis, a disease that could kill her at any time. When she went to the hospital and saw that Meiqiu was in good condition, she finally felt relieved.
After not seeing each other for four years, Coal Ball has become much calmer and not as active as before. He was lying in his nest licking his fur. When he saw Nie Zheng approaching, he was a little wary at first. When he saw Qiao Li behind him, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards the two of them slowly. His dense fur rubbed against the cat cage, as if he wanted the two of them to touch him. Nie Zheng reached out and touched Coal Ball, and he meowed twice in enjoyment, just like four years ago.
"What are your plans when Coal Ball is discharged from the hospital?"
Nie Zheng was stunned. She knew what Qiao Li meant. Chong Jianzhi was slightly allergic to cat hair and didn't like small animals that much. Four years ago, he could still barely accept coal balls, but four years later, she could already imagine the disgusted look on Chong Jianzhi's face when he saw coal balls.
If she wanted to keep Meiqiu, she could no longer live with Chong Jianzhi.
"I'm free this weekend and can help you find a house."
"...I'll think about it."
"Okay, you think about it, but Coal Ball will be discharged from the hospital soon. If I continue to help you take care of it, it will probably forget who its real owner is."
Qiao Li continued to whisper in her ear, and his words clearly had a deeper meaning.
In fact, he knew that she was not unwilling to move out, but because of Chong Jianzhi's opposition, their relationship was even more abnormal than it was three years ago. If she continued to obey that man in everything, sooner or later she would completely lose her own personality and become an appendage of Chong Jianzhi.
She didn't know how to answer Qiao Li, so she could only say the most useless thank you: "I'm really grateful that you have been raising cats for me over the past few years."
"Nie Zheng, I want more than just your gratitude."
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the cat ward besides a group of small animals. When Qiao Li said this, he deliberately turned his head and stood very close to her.
The atmosphere suddenly became charming, inexplicably.
She was not used to this situation and subconsciously wanted to hide, but Qiao Li did not give her a chance. He knew better than anyone that if he did not take the initiative, she would not even take a step towards him.
He was no longer reserved, but grabbed Nie Zheng's hand and pulled her towards him.
"Nie Zheng, you know, I like you very much."
As soon as she said the confession, Nie Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and then she felt helpless.
Being liked by others is not a bad thing, especially being liked by someone as outstanding as Qiao Li, she should feel even more fortunate.
But when facing Qiao Li, her chest felt empty, as if something was missing.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Qiao Li couldn't help but move closer to her. He leaned over and lowered his head, his expression already somewhat impatient, and was about to kiss her directly.
The moment their lips touched, she finally came to her senses. Not with her mind but with her subconscious reaction, she pushed Qiao Li away and took several steps back.
The kitten in the cage seemed to notice something was going on between the two of them and meowed a few times, breaking the awkwardness between them.
"What? Are you scared?"
Just by looking at her reaction, Qiao Li knew that this confession was too hasty, and her rejection of him was expected.
"No... I just finished working overtime and my head is a little confused..." After saying this, Nie Zheng wanted to hit herself. What on earth was she talking about?
"It's okay. I was a little confused too." Qiao sorted out her words and gave himself a way out. "But my confession just now was not a joke."
"Qiao Li, thank you for liking me, but I think..." Nie Zheng was already 70% rational at this moment, "This may be an illusion. You also said that I look a bit like that woman. Is it possible that you just saw the shadow of Yao Ran in me? I don't mean anything else by saying this, I just-"
