Chapter 165 Doing big things in silence
After saying that, Si Gaoyun tapped the table with her fingers and looked at Xiao Cheng suspiciously.
Then he asked, "Acheng, tell me the truth, what exactly did you and she go through in the abandoned warehouse?"
Xiao Cheng still had his eyes closed, maintaining the same posture as before.
"It's getting late, you should go back first."
Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Si Gaoyun had a rough idea in her mind. She stood up, picked up the medicine box and walked to the door. She paused and looked back at him.
"Does it hurt again?"
"It's okay! There's still medicine!" Xiao Cheng said lightly, raising his hand to signal that he could leave.
"If you can't hold on, call me."
Painkillers can become addictive over time, and while acupuncture may be effective initially, its effectiveness decreases if used too frequently. Si Gaoyun knew Xiao Cheng could endure it, so she didn't insist. She sighed, pushed the door open, and left.
I just heard the door closing in the living room, and I guessed Si Gaoyun must have left.
Chu He lay down and sat down, but Xiao Cheng did not return to the master bedroom for a long time.
I jumped out of the master bedroom. It was pitch black outside, but a faint light was faintly visible from the crack of the study door.
Xiao Cheng usually keeps this study locked. When he lived here before, Xiao Cheng would never come in as long as she was at home.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Xiao Cheng leaning back in the swivel chair with his eyes closed.
I was really surprised when I saw seven or eight computer monitors on the desk.
I quietly moved closer and saw that the screen was showing charts of stock and financial data.
Thinking back to what I heard in the bathroom, it’s hard not to associate HC Group, Sina, and Xiao Cheng together.
HC Group is headquartered in New York.
This makes sense. No wonder Xiao Cheng always disappeared suddenly before, and when he reappeared he always looked exhausted, with bloodshot eyes and a dead look.
She thought it was due to excessive indulgence outside, but it turned out to be caused by frequent jet lag.
So he is not an idle playboy, but the CEO of the largest investment company in North America!
Chu He was concentrating on reviewing the situation.
Xiao Cheng's voice suddenly rang out from behind Chu He: "What are you looking at?"
Chu He only had one good leg and was already standing unsteadily. She was startled by the sudden sound and almost fell down.
Xiao Cheng stood up quickly and held her steadily.
"With your little guts, you still dare to peek?"
Chu He snorted, steadied herself, leaned on the table, and looked up at him.
"Second Young Master Xiao is known for his ability to do great things quietly! I knew you weren't a playboy. No wonder this room is always locked. Are you trying to protect me?"
Xiao Cheng leaned closer and flicked her forehead with his finger.
"Defending against you? Don't overestimate yourself! Can you understand this kind of high-end map?"
Hey! You're holding a grudge and using her words to retaliate against her, right?
"Who said I don't understand? Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run. It's just stocks!"
Chu He's lips curled up slightly, but the sudden pain in her feet made her face twist.
The right foot stepped on the left foot and did not dare to touch the ground.
"Deserved it."
As he said that, Xiao Cheng picked her up and sat her on the table.
Chu He pouted, feeling unhappy.
"Who are you giving all your tenderness to? Do you have to be so harsh and sarcastic to me? Do you treat other women like this too?"
Xiao Cheng raised an eyebrow. He thought he had changed a lot compared to before. He also learned gentleness from her. And she was still not satisfied?
Could it be that she likes to lick dogs!
"Do you think other women get this treatment?"
As he spoke, he rapped the table twice with his knuckles.
Chu He bit his lip, his eyes rolling around. Now that someone was sitting at his desk, he really had nothing to refute.
