Chapter 66: Ms. Hu

Xing Shu was in Cheng Lang’s car; the atmosphere was so uncomfortable you could cut the air with a knife. The source of this tension was Nie Heng. Nie Heng’s gaze was like a laser beam as he scanned Xing Shu from head to toe. Xing Shu could not help but lean towards Cheng Lang. Cold sweat broke out on her back.
Nie Heng sneered and deliberately stretched out his legs in a territorial move, pushing Xing Shu into a corner. “First Xiao Zhuo, then Ron. Xing Shu, you’re very ambitious.”
Nie Heng had seen Xing Shu and Ron chatting happily when he returned to the hall after completing the paperwork for the purchase.
Xing Shu frowned. It seemed that no matter what she did, it would be misinterpreted by Nie Heng. Since that was the case… She suddenly raised her hand and gripped Cheng Lang’s fingertips; her fingertips scratching his palm. Nie Heng’s face fell. His eyes narrowed, like a cheetah preparing to hunt.
Xing Shu’s anger dissipated. She still did not reply. Her fingers playfully moved around Cheng Lang’s large hand, and slipped between his fingers before interlocking with them.
Cheng Lang’s head was lowered; looking at the laptop and typing with his other hand. He was in a video conference with the senior management in China. Sensing Xing Shu’s actions, his Adam’s apple bobbed twice as he said softly,
“Quiet, be good.”
The microphone in the video conference was turned off by Cheng Lang. He could hear the reports by the senior management through the earpiece, but the other party could not hear him. Xing Shu melted at hearing his low and raspy voice, regretting her rashness. She wanted to retract her hand quietly, but Cheng Lang locked her hand, pressing it against the leather seat.
Xing Shu quickly turned her head to look out of the window to hide her racing heart.
When Nie Heng saw this, he was very unhappy. His brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. He barbed, “Xing Shu, you’re really shameless.” She even disturbed Cheng Lang’s video conference; which meant what she did in private would only be even more overboard.
Xing Shu said, “If I weren’t shameless, I probably won’t be able to hook up with Young Uncle.”
