Chapter 45

Xiao Sheng's alertness lies in his ability to adapt to situations! Knowing that Zhang Yi harbored resentment towards him, saying these words was merely to vent. In front of her man, it was quite normal for a woman to act a bit moody, even for someone of high status like Zhang Yi. Then, Xiao Sheng quickly followed up:

"President Zhang, don't mock me. I know the last job I took didn't work out and caused you some losses. Rest assured, once I finish this job, I'll head back to Lingnan and complete it perfectly. Please, President Zhang."

After saying this, Xiao Sheng, who was drenched in cold sweat, leaned forward, making a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

Xiao Sheng's response instantly made everyone 'realize' the situation. Judging by his attire, he seemed to be from a security company. However, at this moment, Xiao Sheng's 'value' in everyone's eyes had significantly increased. Seeing how intimately he conversed with Zhang Yi, if they could connect with Zhonglei Group through him, it would be a shortcut. As the saying goes, when one person rises, even the chickens and dogs ascend. When Zhang Yi glanced back at Dai Muxue and spoke, everyone mistakenly believed that the assistant beside Chen Shuyuan and Xiao Sheng had a relationship. Several executives, aiming for a 'roundabout way' to success, extended their 'divine hands' to invite the other party. Chen Shuyuan, as Xiao Sheng's employer, was also surrounded by several executives. Being closer to the water, she had the advantage. If she could connect with them, perhaps she could share some 'leftovers' with everyone.

Facing these extremely enthusiastic executives, Dai Muxue reluctantly followed them to the dance floor, her gaze fixed on Xiao Sheng and Zhang Yi in the center. Chen Shuyuan, unable to resist the invitations, also went up to dance, her eyes also on the center.

The most 'awkward' person in the entire venue was Ma Hankong from Chengran International. The superiority he felt at the beginning of the banquet vanished instantly due to Chen Shuyuan's bodyguard. With a gloomy face, Ma Hankong drained his glass of wine, leaning back slightly. The large man who had been standing behind him stepped forward.

"Go and investigate his background. He has ruined my plans multiple times. I want detailed information on him."

"Hey..." When the large man subconsciously replied in the local language, Ma Hankong suddenly turned his head. The large man immediately realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself:

"Yes..." After saying this, he stepped out, grabbed his phone, and gave some instructions.

Holding Zhang Yi's hand and walking gracefully to the center of the dance floor, Xiao Sheng whispered to the hem of his clothes:

"The situation has changed. Have them prepare new identities for us." Xiao Sheng's voice was very low, but Zhang Yi, who had already turned to face him, heard it clearly. When Xiao Sheng's rough hand touched her waist, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. It had been six years since he last felt his warmth! Her left hand rested on Xiao Sheng's shoulder, and Zhang Yi slowly tilted her head, her gaze fixed on Xiao Sheng.

"Zhonglei, have I caused you trouble?" Nalan Zhonglei, the once-feared heir of the Nalan family in the northern border city, had a lineage that was absolutely enviable. His father was Nalan Changkong, known as the Second Master Nalan, respected throughout the northern province and even the country.

"Sister, you can still call me Dog Sheng. It's a custom from my mother's family! And my surname is Xiao, I follow my mother's surname!" Xiao Sheng was Nalan Zhonglei, but few people knew this. He had changed his name when he registered for the military. When the old man learned of this, he only sighed lightly and let it be. Only the one who tied the bell can untie it! Knowing Xiao Sheng's temperament, Zhang Yi didn't argue over the name. She inhaled the unique male scent from Xiao Sheng, slightly dazed, and made several mistakes in her dance steps. Fortunately, Xiao Sheng was there to help, preventing any embarrassment.

Every night she dreamed of him, but when her beloved was truly by her side, Zhang Yi didn't know where to start! She could only occasionally glance at Xiao Sheng, not daring to look at him for too long. She knew that her 'rashness' had caused Xiao Sheng a lot of trouble. Returning to her usual self, she could distinguish what was important.

"Didn't you find me a brother-in-law?" Xiao Sheng's sudden question made Zhang Yi's body tense slightly. She then slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Sheng, answering word by word:

"I, Zhang Yi, have only one man. The one who shielded me from a knife at seven, spied on me bathing at twelve, and secretly touched my thigh while I was sleeping at fifteen, and when I caught him, he shamelessly said he was studying female anatomy..."

"Do I need to continue, my man? The night before you joined the military, you were so hard that you were pressing me. If you hadn't jumped out of the window halfway through, I reckon our child would be five years old by now."

"That's an exaggeration, I'm not a sharpshooter..." Xiao Sheng laughed bitterly, trying to ease Zhang Yi's emotions with a humorous response, but this sentence completely put him in a bind!

Staring straight at Xiao Sheng, Zhang Yi murmured:

"How do you know if you don't try?" Hearing this blatant seduction, Xiao Sheng's face showed a hint of 'bitterness'!

"Sister, can we not be so direct? I've been in the military for six years..."

"Who are you fooling? Don't forget what the Lao Zhang family does. I've been keeping track of special forces operations. Local missions are usually carried out in teams, with a minimum of two and a maximum of five people. I don't believe you can't spare one night!"

Faced with Zhang Yi's relentless pressure, Xiao Sheng's embarrassed and conflicted expression caused him to make several mistakes in his dance steps.

"Keep thinking, keep making excuses. I'll tell you, you can't use the reasons you used before."

This sentence completely 'fortified' Xiao Sheng. Didn't that mean she was demanding he agree?

After being frustrated for a long time, Xiao Sheng, with no other options, said absurdly:

"Sister, you don't understand men's matters. I can't explain it well..."

"What don't I understand? Explain it to me."

"Men, there are always a few days each month when they feel uncomfortable!" Hearing this, Zhang Yi burst out laughing, her eyes sparkling with a hint of seduction, staring straight at Xiao Sheng.

"You really thought of that..."
