Nie Zheng suddenly felt a headache. This playboy was notorious in the circle. He changed women faster than he changed clothes. He had been engaged three times. She really didn't believe that he could be sincere to Bai Chaochao.

"You also know the current situation of Chaochao's family... well, I mean her life is already difficult enough." She rubbed her hands. She felt that this was a bit difficult to say, but for Bai Chaochao, she still said, "If you want to play with women, you should find someone else. Bai Chaochao is really not suitable for you."

"Nie Zheng, you really made me laugh." He didn't want to argue with her anymore. He also knew that words were so pale. He had a lot to say, but in the end he only said one sentence lightly, "I really like her. She is different from all other women."

Before the two finished their conversation, Bai Chaozhao came out from the inner room rubbing his eyes.

Seeing Nie Zheng, she was a little surprised: "Zheng Zheng, why are you here?"

Nie Zheng glared at her and said, "I'm afraid that the bad guys will eat you till there's nothing left."

Bai Chaochao knew that it was Lou Fan who told Nie Zheng what happened to her this afternoon. She smiled embarrassedly, "I'm fine, right? Thanks to Boss Lou for coming to my rescue."

"So you took him home?"

"What? He drove me home. We had nothing."

"Your good sister hasn't gotten much sleep for a week because she's been selling a house. I brought her home to let her catch up on some sleep. That's all."

Nie Zheng didn't even raise her head: "You'd better be."

Lou Fan was about to explain something when the phone rang. It was Chong Jianzhi calling.

Originally at noon, Lou Fan was talking on the phone with Chong Jianzhi. When he saw that Bai Chaochao had something to do, he hung up the phone in a hurry. Later, when he sent someone home, he forgot about the matter.

"I suddenly ran into something, so I hung up the phone." Lou Fan said apologetically, "I'll go to your company tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Chaochao suggested that they have a hot pot together. Lou Fan agreed decisively. Although Nie Zheng was not very hungry, she really didn't want to create a world for the two of them. She was determined to be a light bulb, so she nodded.

"Chao Chao, why haven't you seen your aunt?"

Bai Chaochao's expression became serious. "My mother went out to play mahjong again. This time she will probably play until midnight. It's okay. You don't have to worry about her."

Upon hearing that Bai Chaochao's mother would not be home for the time being, Nie Zheng was relieved.

"There are some freshly bought ingredients in the refrigerator. I'll get them done. You don't have to worry about it."

Seeing Bai Chaochao going into the kitchen, Nie Zheng wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Lou Fan.

"Don't leave yet, I want to tell you something."

Nie Zheng turned around: "What do we have to talk about? Let me put this out there first. I don't agree with what you and Chao Chao are doing."

"Who cares if you agree or not? Bah, bah, bah, you've got me confused. I just want to talk to you about Lao Chong."

When she heard that it was related to Chong Jianzhi, her expression froze and she sat quietly on the sofa without moving, wanting to hear what Lou Fan had to say.

"Recently, Lao Chong asked me to help him investigate Tou Yun's incident. I chatted with him and learned some of your recent events. Nie Zheng, tell me the truth, what are you really thinking?"

The room was not hot, but Nie Zheng's back was sweating. She did not answer because she wanted to hear what Lou Fan had to say.

"Mr. Chong has agreed to restart Touyun, but the condition is that you, the heir of Tang Xiang, be the spokesperson, right? In fact, this deal is almost no loss for Mr. Chong. Have you ever thought about why he disagrees?"

Nie Zheng is not stupid, of course she has thought about this question.

"If I return to the Chong family and take on the identity of the inheritor of Tang Xiang, I will really become a mascot, a puppet."

"Lao Chong doesn't want you to become like this. In the final analysis, he can't bear it." Lou Fan touched his neck, somewhat helplessly, "Sometimes I feel confused too. What kind of feelings does Lao Chong have for you? Brother and sister? Are they really brother and sister?"

Nie Zheng subconsciously wanted to avoid this question. She stood up and wanted to go into the kitchen to help Bai Chaochao, but was stopped by Lou Fan.

"Nie Zheng, I can't bear to see Lao Chong like this, and I can't bear to see you running away like this. He likes you, right? What about you? Do you like him?"

Lou Fan has always been direct in his words and deeds. He has a deep friendship with Chong Jianzhi. There are some things that he sees but does not say out loud, but he cannot bear to see his good brother being so twisted, so he simply takes this opportunity to make things clear with Nie Zheng.

Even if Chong Jianzhi would blame him, he would still do this.

"He likes you, right? Do you like him?"

Nie Zheng's eyes fell on the glass on the coffee table. She began to hesitate, but once she hesitated, she already had a vague answer in her mind.

"I like him."

"Are you trying to say that this is a sister's love for her brother, Nie Zheng? I just knew it—"

Lou Fan almost reflexively felt that Nie Zheng was fooling him again.

In fact, that was Nie Zheng’s true words.

She did not argue. The light made the wall of the glass of water shine. She just felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the glass and took a sip.

Bai Chaochao's mother is back.

Bai Chaochao had sharp ears. As soon as he heard the noise at the door, he rushed out of the kitchen.

"Mom, why are you back now? Don't you want to play mahjong?"

"I'm out of money. You only give me this little money a month. I can't even afford to play mahjong." Bai's mother was still changing her shoes. As soon as she straightened up, she saw two uninvited guests in the room. She looked at Bai Chaochao and her eyes suddenly became a little sharp. "What's going on? Bai Chaochao, you're so bold. Why do you bring anyone home?"

Bai's mother said this while looking at Nie Zheng.

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Lou Fan who was next to Nie Zheng. Although she didn't know who the other person was, her expression eased a little when she saw that he was wearing all the branded clothes.

"Are you Chao Chao's friend?"

Lou Fan quickly stood up and bowed to Bai's mother. His gesture was very respectful. "Hello, auntie. My name is Lou Fan, Chao Chao's friend."

"He's my boss." Bai Chaochao knew her mother too well and knew what that look meant. She quickly added, "He's already engaged and has a fiancée."

"Aunt, I don't have a fiancée. I'm single and I don't even have a girlfriend."

Lou Fan did not hesitate to interrupt and showed his most obedient smile to Bai's mother.

Bai Chaochao glared at Lou Fan, then signaled Nie Zheng to take him away.

"Auntie, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Nie Zheng grabbed Lou Fan and was about to leave.

Lou Fan started to play dumb and asked Bai Chaochao, "Aren't we going to eat hotpot?"

"Don't eat anymore. I'll treat you another day."

Bai Chaochao hurriedly escorted the two out the door.

As soon as the door closed, as expected, her mother tugged at her sleeve from behind and said, "I think this boy is not bad. He doesn't dress like an ordinary person. Why don't you seize the opportunity? If you don't work hard, how long will we have to live this hard life?"
