59 Whispers

Xing Shu did not dare to disobey. Xiao Zhuo noticed this. He frowned at first, then walked over gracefully and sat down beside Xing Shu. Xing Shu was on tenterhooks, seated between them. She called out softly, “Young Uncle…” She looked uneasy and wanted to explain.

Xiao Zhuo suddenly tilted his head and exclaimed in surprise, “What did you call him? Didn’t you say that you didn’t know Cheng Lang?”

Xing Shu really wanted to shut Xiao Zhuo’s mouth! She tried her best to keep a straight face. “Really? I didn’t say that. Perhaps you heard wrongly, Mr. Xiao.” Cheng Lang’s fingertips landed on Xing Shu’s blue sleeve. The cutting of this dress was very conservative. The sleeve was made of lace, making her look very elegant. The sequined tail of the dress swayed like a fishtail with every step.

This dress was very beautiful and special; very eye-catching but not revealing. But Xing Shu felt naked at Cheng Lang’s touch. The warmth of his fingertips on her wrist passed through the thin fabric and entered her heart.

Nie Heng—who was sitting on Cheng Lang’s other side—had not spoken since Xing Shu arrived. However, his eyes were glacial, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue. The aura of these three men sitting together was too strong. Xing Shu did not dare to say a word. She could only straighten her back and try her best to stay composed.

However, just because Xing Shu did not say anything did not mean that Xiao Zhuo was quiet. “President Cheng, your reputation precedes you. It looks like I accidentally kidnapped your plus one.” His aura was not weaker than Cheng Lang’s. He smiled languidly and leaned closer to Xing Shu. “I didn’t expect my taste to be so similar to President Cheng’s.”

Hearing this, Cheng Lang looked up. “Similar?”

Xiao Zhuo nodded. He was different from Cheng Lang. If he liked a woman, he would act on it directly, not shy about resorting to tricks. However, his feelings for Xing Shu were strange. Xing Shu was very beautiful and aligned with his idea of beauty. However, he only felt an innate sense of kinship towards her. His heart would soften at the sight of her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Zhuo asked, “Isn’t that so? President Cheng, you also think that Xing Shu is rather endearing, right?”

Xing Shu’s scalp went numb. If she were not worried about Xiao Zhuo’s reprisals, she would definitely shut his mouth! Endearing? Bullsh*t!
