Chapter 37 There Wasn’t Much Time Left

Qin Zheng showed a pained expression. “There’s not much time left for me.”

Du Ling: “…”

She had thought… She didn’t expect that Qin Zheng’s hard work was actually for Xie Xun. It wasn’t hard to understand why she had been working so hard for the past half a month. Fortunately, although Qin Zheng liked Xie Xun, she never wasted her time on official business.

Du Ling had been by Qin Zheng’s side for so many years, but she had never seen her like anyone so much. She simply let her go and checked Qin Zheng’s schedule. Du Ling reminded her, “There’s a banquet to attend in three days. Don’t forget.” “Banquet?” Qin Zheng showed a conflicted expression. “Can I not go?”

Du Ling shook her head. “It’s a banquet that you have to go to. You’ve offended too many people recently. You need to properly manage your network.”

Qin Zheng sighed. It seemed that her meeting with Xie Xun would have to be postponed for another day. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. “Sister Ling, I can bring a male companion to this banquet,

right?”

Du Ling understood what she meant. “You want to…”

Qin Zheng nodded. “Yes, I want to bring Xie Xun along.”

“It’s possible, but his identity…” Du Ling hesitated.

It was a pity that Qin Zheng was only thinking about how she could meet Xie Xun and didn’t hear what she said at all. She continued to be excited. “Letting Xie Xun be my male companion will not affect the time we meet, and it can also cultivate our relationship. It can be considered killing two birds with one stone.”

Du Ling had no choice but to remind her in a more serious tone, “Zheng Zheng, this banquet is Grandfather Long’s birthday banquet. The people attending this banquet are all powerful people from all walks of life. This is not an ordinary banquet. Bringing Xie Xun along to attend…”

The Long family was one of the four great families, just like the Qin family and the Lu family.

Grandfather Long’s birthday banquet was extraordinary. It was very inappropriate to bring Xie Xun along. Qin Zheng nodded thoughtfully and said, “It is indeed not suitable.”

Du Ling thought that Qin Zheng had figured out the twists and turns. Unexpectedly, she heard Qin Zheng say, “Since we are attending such an important banquet, the attire must not be casual. I will work a little extra today. Tomorrow, I will accompany Xie Xun to pick out the attire.”

With that, Qin Zheng buried her head in her work. Du Ling looked at Qin Zheng, who was full of motivation. She sighed softly and left.

The next day, Qin Zheng called Xie Xun. Xie Xun, who never answered her calls, picked up her call for the first time.

“What’s the matter?” Xie Xun’s voice was as clear and distant as ever.

Qin Zheng held the phone and was actually a little nervous. “Xie Xun, are you free in the afternoon? I want to ask you out.” “I’m not free.”

“Aren’t you on a shift today?”

Qin Zheng had Xie Xun’s schedule in her hands. She knew exactly what day he was going to work and what day he was going to rest. She knew his schedule better than he did.

Xie Xun’s voice was indifferent. “Why are you asking if you know?”

Qin Zheng choked on her words. Then, she quickly told him the time and place of the meeting, as if she was afraid that he would refuse. “Okay, I’ll hang up first. See you then.”

With that, she quickly hung up the phone.

After the call was hung up, Qin Zheng stared at her phone for a long time. She realized that Xie Xun had not sent her a message and did not call her again. So, did he accept this date?

At the mall in the city center, Qin Zheng waited eagerly for Xie Xun’s arrival. Her appointment with Xie Xun was at 2:30 pm. It was only 1:30 pm now.

At 2:30 pm, the slender figure of the man appeared on time. It was neither early nor late. Qin Zheng’s eyes lit up when she saw Xie Xun’s figure.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright. The bright and beautiful sunlight shone on the man’s body. His face was exquisite and his features were like a painting. His black eyes were as cold and deep as obsidian. Under the sunlight, he was as handsome as a god.

Xie Xun’s appearance instantly attracted countless gazes. He was like a natural glowing body that was hard to ignore.

Qin Zheng hurriedly went up to him. “Xie Xun, you’re here.”

Xie Xun looked down at her. “Have you thought of a way to prove it?”

Qin Zheng: “…Not yet.” How could something like this be proven overnight?

After Xie Xun heard her answer, his interest waned. Lin Chong, who was secretly preparing to film, also put down his phone. That’s right, he had been assigned to film by his master again. He thought that he would be able to film Qin Zheng courting death or making a fool of herself today.

However, every time Qin Zheng confessed, the unlucky one seemed to be his master…

Qin Zheng told him the reason she asked Xie Xun to come. “So, I happen to be in need of a male companion. You can accompany me!”
