Chapter 27: A Kiss in the Office!

  At this time, Wang Xue also followed in, playing with the knife in her hand, and said with an unpleasant face: "You have a big nerve, dare to spit out what I made, say, do you want to die or not?"

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow, coughing a few times, and said: "Big sister, I really know I was wrong, and I also know you're very angry. At worst, I'll be your servant and wait on you hand and foot, just please don't make me eat those things again."

  Wang Xue hummed and said, "Follow me out."

  Zhang Ziheng followed Wang Xue back to the room, only to see Wang Xue sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking at him with a stern expression. "I've never had many people dare to deceive me from childhood to adulthood," she said. "But you, you actually deceived me time and time again. If I don't punish you, how can I relieve my hatred? However, seeing your pitiful appearance just now, I'll give you one chance. Tell me, what did you do tonight and who were you with?"

  Zhang Ziheng knew he couldn't hide it, but thinking about it, he and Zhou Ling hadn't done anything, just eating dinner, watching a movie, and not even holding hands. Even if he told the truth, nothing would happen. So when he told Wang Xue what had happened, his expression looked very natural.

  But who would have thought that Wang Xue was furious when she heard this, she angrily picked up the cushion and beat Zhang Ziheng wildly, saying: "You heartless man, I'm at home cleaning the house and cooking for you, but you're out eating with another woman. Not only did you eat, but you also went to see a movie, and what's even more outrageous is that you sent her home, and you walked her home too! You're really romantic!"

  "Hey, big sister, stop hitting me, I know I was wrong. Actually, there's nothing between Zhou Ling and me, I just treat her as a friend." Zhang Ziheng quickly grabbed the cushion and said.

  "What did you just call her? And what did you just call me? Who am I to you? You actually called me..." Wang Xue said, getting angrier, and kicked him onto the bed with one foot, then straddled him again.

  "Not you, what should I call you then?" Zhang Ziheng asked in confusion.

  "You... you scoundrel, you big scoundrel, you have no conscience." Wang Xue said, and to her surprise, she burst into tears.

  Zhang Ziheng was frightened and quickly pulled her off himself, then handed her a tissue and asked: "What's wrong? Why are you crying again? I didn't even touch you!"

  "You bastard, you bullied me." Wang Xue said while crying.

  Zhang Ziheng is so wronged, he has always been the one being bullied, how could he have bullied others in such a luxurious way? But as soon as he saw Wang Xue crying, his heart softened.

  "What's wrong with me again? Tell me, I don't even know what I did to offend you."

  "You... hello, I'm asking you, what am I to you? What kind of person do you think I am?" Wang Xue asked, wiping away her tears.

  This question left Zhang Ziheng speechless, to be honest, he had been thinking about this problem all along. What was Wang Xue to him? Colleague? Friend? Enemy? Or lover? Zhang Ziheng didn't dare to make a conclusion because he wasn't sure himself. If they were colleagues, then why did they have such an unusual relationship? Friends? But if they were friends, he wouldn't have been bullied so much. Enemies? This seemed plausible, but that was all in the past, and besides, enemies couldn't possibly live together in one room. In the end, only one possibility remained - lovers. This was also what Zhang Ziheng dared not think about most. Were he and Wang Xue lovers? But he didn't even know if he loved her or not.

  Looking at Zhang Ziheng's silent and bowed head, Wang Xue felt even more wronged and cried louder. Zhang Ziheng had no choice but to continue coaxing her.

  "Don't cry, I...I'll treat you as my girlfriend. Being a girlfriend is okay, right?" Zhang Ziheng finally said after a long period of mental struggle.

  Who knew this trick would actually work, Wang Xue immediately stopped crying and stared at him in surprise. "What did you just say? Say it again. Wait, say it word for word, clearly."

  Zhang Ziheng sighed and said: "I'm telling you, I consider you as my girlfriend, you are my girlfriend, did you hear that clearly?"

  Wang Xue smiled contentedly for a moment, but then became unhappy again. "Girlfriend? I'm your girlfriend, what do you call me? You can even call an ordinary friend by their name, but me? You've never called me by my name."

  "My goodness, so she was angry about this all along." Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said, "Wang Xue, are you satisfied now?" But when Zhang Ziheng called out her name, he only then realized that this was probably the first time he had ever called her by name, and it felt kind of strange to do so.

  Wang Xue nodded, but then shook her head and said: "No way, everyone else calls me by my full name, you can't just call me that. Hmm... Call me Xuer."

  "Huh? That's a bit too ambiguous, isn't it? This..."

  "What's wrong with you? Hurry up and call, or I'll cut your tongue out!" As she spoke, Wang Xue turned back into her fierce self from earlier.

  Zhang Ziheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and whispered: "Xue... Xuer."

  Wang Xue smiled happily and then kissed Zhang Ziheng's face, "Ziheng."

  "Huh? What's up?"

  "What's wrong? I'm just calling your name, Ziheng. Hmm? Wait a minute, do others call you that too?" Wang Xue asked.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded.

  "No way, I'm not like others. Hey, do you have a nickname?" Wang Xue asked with interest.

  "What's the point of asking this?" Zhang Ziheng frowned and said.

  "What did you say? Speak quickly, is there something?"

  "There isn't, even if there was I've forgotten." Zhang Ziheng hastily shook his head and said.

  "Cheater, there must be one, tell me quickly, what is it? Hengheng? Xiao Heng? Is that right? Speak up." Wang Xue asked repeatedly like a little kid.

  "No, no, oh dear, what's this you're calling? It sounds so bad, I'd rather forget, don't ask."

  "Come on, just tell me, okay? Tell me..."

  In this way, Zhang Ziheng vaguely persuaded Wang Xue, and perhaps girls are sometimes so simple and naive. However, it's also good that he doesn't have to suffer so much punishment. Although he admitted that Wang Xue was his girlfriend, Zhang Ziheng didn't feel like he was in love. Maybe it was because he was afraid of Wang Xue, or maybe it was because he thought it wasn't bad either. Who knows, after spending more time together, he might really start to like her.

  Wang Xue is a straightforward person and has always been high-profile. Since she moved into Zhang Ziheng's house, almost everyone in the company knew that the young lady was dating a newly arrived project manager, which made people suspect that Zhang Ziheng actually became the project manager through connections. For a time, rumors spread throughout the company, with all sorts of speculation. Some said that Zhang Ziheng had been in a relationship with the young lady before joining the company and even pretended to go for an interview to avoid suspicion. Others said that Zhang Ziheng took advantage of this project to get together with the young lady, as the saying goes "near water tower first gets moon", two people working together in the same office every day, it's inevitable that they would develop feelings over time.

  Anyway, there are all kinds of things being said, which makes Zhang Ziheng quite depressed. Especially when he inadvertently hears someone discussing him, he will get very angry and stand up to explain to those people. But how can such a thing be explained clearly? In the end, not only did he not receive sympathy from others, but he was also met with cold stares.

  Of course, not everyone thinks so. The former colleagues in the design department believed in Zhang Ziheng, after all, they had been together for so long and were very clear about his character, which was not like what others said, a small white face who eats soft rice.

  Wang Xue was also surprised, she didn't expect that just because she walked to and from work with Zhang Ziheng every day, holding his arm, people would say such things. Especially when she saw how downcast Zhang Ziheng was about this every day, she felt uncomfortable in her heart too.

  A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Ziheng has also gotten used to this matter. Let others say what they want, as long as he himself is upright, why bother to care? Moreover, these past few days, Wang Xue's performance has been very good. Not only did she not lose her temper with him again, but she even took great care of him. Every day after work when she returned home, she would either cook or tidy up the house, simply like a virtuous wife and loving mother. That Wang Xue, at such a young age, could do these things, really surprised Zhang Ziheng quite a bit.

  "What are you thinking about?" Just as Zhang Ziheng was lost in thought, Wang Xue came to his front and smiled.

  "Huh? Oh, nothing, just thinking about this design." Zhang Ziheng smiled and shook his head, pointing at the screen.

  "Oh, forget it, anyway we're almost off work. Say, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you." Wang Xue grasped Zhang Ziheng's hands like a child and coaxed him.

  Zhang Ziheng chuckled and thought for a moment before saying, "Whatever is fine, I'll eat whatever you make." Actually, Wang Xue's cooking was quite good; last time she had made it that way on purpose to punish Zhang Ziheng.

  "Huh, when did your mouth become so sweet? Like it's been smeared with honey, who did you learn from?"

  "Just like on TV, haha. By the way, Xue Er, in the future when we're at the company, can you please treat me like you do other colleagues? I'm really not used to this." Zhang Zi Heng said.

  "What's wrong? You're my boyfriend, can't even talk to you? Besides, there are only two of us in this office, no one outside can see us, what are you afraid of?" Wang Xue said as she walked over to his side and sat down on his lap.

  "What are you doing? Get up quickly, it's not good if others see this." Zhang Ziheng was startled and hurriedly said.

  "I just said that no one will see it, don't be so timid, okay? Come on, give me a kiss." Wang Xue said, raising her head and pointing to her cheek.

  "Huh? This... this isn't good, is it? Why don't we just wait until we get home to kiss, okay?" Zhang Ziheng said with difficulty.

  "Not good, then just kiss me. Are you going to kiss me or not? If you don't, I won't get up, and when someone really comes in, let's see how you explain it." Wang Xue said with a pleased smile.

  Alas, it seems there's no other way. Zhang Ziheng shook his head helplessly and gently kissed Wang Xue's face. Coincidentally, at this moment, an uninvited guest walked in without knocking on the door and happened to see this scene.

  Seeing the arrival of someone, both of them were startled. Wang Xue hastily got down from Zhang Ziheng's leg and looked at him awkwardly. Zhang Ziheng also quickly stood up and nervously said: "Dong, Chairman, you've arrived."
