Chapter 168: He’s Here

Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

From inside the house came the voices of Old Master Cheng and Old Master

Jin, as well as the compliments of the younger generation. Someone called Cheng Lang’s name. Cheng Lang reflexively wanted to hang up. But when he lowered his head and looked, he saw that it was Xing Shu l s name.

Cheng Lang paused and answered the call. He walked to the pillar at the side and asked, “What’s the matter?” However, no one spoke on the other end of the cell phone. He frowned. “Xing Shu?” After waiting for another two minutes, he could only hear intermittent breathing and uncomfortable grunts.

Cheng Lang did not give it much thought and walked out of the door. The servant standing at the door could not help but shout, ‘Young Master, where are you going?” However, Cheng Lang walked very quickly. It was unknown if he had heard him.

Cheng Lang got into the car and asked someone to track Xing Shu l s location. After knowing that she was in the apartment, he heaved a sigh of relief and sped to her place.

In her daze. Xing Shu thought she heard someone knocking on the door and calling her name. The pain in her abdomen was like a fire. She slowly opened her eyes and confirmed that the doorbell was indeed ringing. She seemed to have heard Cheng Lang’s voice, but he should be at the Cheng family’s house now. The Cheng family residence should be very lively tonight, right?

Xing Shu frowned and felt her limbs stiffen. She finally confirmed that she was not hallucinating. It was really Cheng Lang’s voice outside the door. She forced herself to walk to the door and opened it.

Cheng Lang saw Xing Shu’s pale face and her lips were bleeding from biting. He quickly asked, “Gastric pain?

Xing Shu nodded. As her eyelashes fluttered, sweat rolled down her face. Cheng Lang carried Xing Shu princess style and strode straight into the elevator. Xing Shu leaned against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. She slowly closed her eyes.

The elevator stopped on the first floor. Cheng Lang slowly placed Xing Shu in the front passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt. Xing Shu tilted her head back and covered her abdomen with one hand, hoping to reduce the pain.

Cheng Lang went to the driver’s seat. “Why did you suddenly have gastric pain?

Of course, Xing Shu would not say that she was angered by Cheng Xingyang. Thinking of what happened just now, she felt annoyed. She was also worried that those photographs would be circulated. She said perfunctorily, “I forgot to eat.

“Is the salary I give you not enough? Is it worth it for you to work so hard, Director Xing?” This was not Cheng Lang’s first time being sarcastic. Xing Shu used to be able to take it. But now—for some reason—her heart and her chest felt stuffy. Her fingers that were hanging by the side slowly clenched.
