Chapter 787: Running into Father

there's still a big light bulb here!" Being hugged like this by Han Xingye made Wang Zheng somewhat unhappy. He didn’t want to show any intense reactions in front of the assassin; it would be too sha...Chapter 787: Running into Dad

However, when Wang Zheng rushed to the twenty-fourth floor entrance with Zhang Mingqi in his arms, he unexpectedly encountered someone he hadn't anticipated.

Wang Zheng looked at the man waiting by Zhang Mingqi's door. He swallowed hard, his throat moving up and down a few times, his expression filled with complexity.

Zhang Mingqi was being held in Wang Zheng's arms; her cheeks were flushed, buried in Wang Zheng’s chest, unaware of what had happened: "Hurry up and open the door; my keys are in my bag."

At such a close distance, Wang Zheng could even feel the urgency in Zhang Mingqi’s voice.

But no matter how much he was already on the verge of exploding from her provocation, when faced with this man, he had to suppress all his physical reactions.

The reason being simple: This man is Zhang Mingqi's—dad!

Zhang Xiaoci!

Zhang Mingqi also sensed something was amiss; she lifted her head from Wang Zheng’s arms, turning around and just catching sight of Zhang Xiaoci. Her entire body felt like it had been electrocuted as she quickly jumped off Wang Zheng's embrace, her delicate face blushing a deep shade of red.

"Dad, what are you doing here"

Zhang Mingqi lives alone with her father. She occasionally comes home and often stays in her own small apartment, but she never expected that today her dad would be here too, which made Zhang Mingqi quite surprised.

"Sigh."

Looking at his daughter standing next to Wang Zheng, Zhang Xiaoci let out a long sigh. Clearly, as someone who has been there before, he could easily understand what the two of them had just done. Of course, if he hadn’t shown up, it would have been obvious what they were planning to do next.

"I need to talk to you about something," Zhang Xiaoci said, glancing at Wang Zheng.

"Then I'll leave first. Uncle, take your time and chat."

At this moment, even if Wang Zheng wasn't tactful enough to leave, he knew that Zhang Xiaoci had come here for something very important.

In the past two years, Zhang Xiaoci had completely handed over control of the Blue Ocean Group, which he had founded himself, entirely to Zhang Mingqi. Although he still held the title of chairman, Zhang Xiaoci hadn’t been involved in company affairs for a long time and Zhang Mingqi was now fully independent.

"Do you want to drive my car" Zhang Mingqi took out her car keys from her bag, her expression filled with regret.

"No need. I'll walk back," Wang Zheng winked at Zhang Mingqi, causing her cheeks to heat up again as she recalled what had happened in the stairwell earlier.

Wang Zheng didn’t care about what the father and daughter discussed. After leaving the residential complex, he hailed a taxi and headed for Tiantingshan Apartment, his only residence in the capital city.

At this time, Han Xinye should still be serving in Ningxia, but after completing her training, she would eventually return to the capital's military district. Her father, Han Tuosu, had also mentioned before that he wanted to arrange for his daughter to study at the National University of Defense Technology.

By the time they arrived at Tiangong Mountain, it was already half past ten. From afar, Wang Zheng could see the lights in the villa's living room and couldn't help but smile.

This place was where he first stayed after coming to the capital, though only as a guest. However, Wang Zheng felt an emotional attachment to this location.

Back then, when Wang Zheng stepped into the villa, it marked his first significant step in making a name for himself in the capital.

The Tiangong Mountain villa was equipped with underfloor heating; even though there was a cold wind outside, the temperature inside could reach over twenty degrees. One only needed to wear thin cotton pajamas indoors.

"Come on, we should toast to Xiao Ye's return by drinking this bottle of red wine that my dad has been storing for years."

Shangguan Shishi wore a long white nightgown with her straight hair hanging loosely over her shoulders. She held three glasses in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

This was because her dear friend Han Xinye had returned from the military camp in Ningxia after being away for some time. Unexpectedly, she hadn't informed anyone beforehand but instead came rushing all the way from Northwest China to Shangguan Shishi's villa straightaway without returning home.

After a bath, Han Xinye still wore her pink pajamas adorned with Hello Kitty motifs and a hat. Her chubby face was rosy, having lost some weight after military training but grown in height. However, her eyes were brighter than ever before. Yet, despite the slight reduction in weight, there was one part of her upper body that remained impressive for someone of her age.

This could be clearly seen even through her loose-fitting pajamas; it couldn't be concealed no matter how she tried.

"Will Father get upset if he finds out" Han Xinye blinked her large eyes. She was well aware that the wine kept in the Shangguan family's study could not be ordinary, and getting to taste it would be a good thing indeed.

"How could that be He won't tell me anything even if I ask."

Sheng Fei was also wearing a set of loungewear, but hers was separated top and bottom, accentuating her curves more clearly to form a perfect "S" shape. The mature woman's allure emanated from her body, with every move exuding seductive charm.

"Senior Sheng Fei, I feel like you've changed."

Sheng Fei held up her silky hair and smiled at Han Xinye: "How have I changed It’s still the same as before."

Han Xinye was sipping yogurt when she suddenly reached out to pat Sheng Fei's round buttocks.

"Pervert, are you even going for your sister's tofu" Sheng Fei was both amused and exasperated.

"Senior Sheng Fei, you've really become more womanly," Han Xinye said straight-faced, her eyes looking as if they could see into Sheng Fei’s soul and uncover all the secrets hidden deep inside.

"I’ve always been womanly," Sheng Fei was caught off guard by Han Xinye's comment. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly tried to cover up with words.

Since something happened between her and Wang Zheng back home, subtle changes had occurred in Sheng Fei’s demeanor. Perhaps even she herself hadn't noticed it yet.

The transformation from girl to woman was a historical turning point; once a girl is awakened and nurtured, there will be an added charm and flavor in every gesture. Despite Han Xinye appearing somewhat scatterbrained, her eyes were very sharp, closely capturing this change. On the other hand, Ou Yang Shishi saw Sheng Fei daily but did not have Han Xinye’s discerning eye after a long absence.taut surface made one want to touch it with a finger lightly.Qiao Jing didn't care at all and wasn't afraid that Wang Zheng would take advantage of her.
