Chapter 1895: Chapter 1895: Welcoming Leng Ruobing!

That morning, Xiao Zheng and his companions boarded a plane back to Zhonghai City.

Leng Ruobing, having received the news in advance, had already arranged for a driver to bring a special car to the airport to greet them. Since they arrived in Zhonghai City just in time for lunch, Leng Ruobing also booked a hotel.

After the driver took them away from the airport, he directly drove them to the hotel entrance.

As soon as he got out of the car, Xiao Zheng saw Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran standing at the hotel entrance to welcome them.

"Why are you waiting here? Didn’t I tell you not to come downstairs?" Xiao Zheng hurriedly walked forward and said accusingly, "It’s so cold today, and the wind is so strong outside. What if you catch a cold? Don’t forget about the baby inside your belly."

"It’s fine; don’t forget, I’m not an ordinary person." Leng Ruobing said with a smile, "Though I haven’t practiced in a long time, just being in the wind wouldn’t make me sick."

Although Xiao Zheng knew she was telling the truth, he couldn’t help but worry.

While the two were sweetly conversing, Liu Yiyi, who was behind Xiao Zheng, had her expression suddenly turn a bit dazed upon seeing Leng Ruobing. When she came to her senses, her gaze appeared somewhat dim.

Mo Ye noticed her change in expression and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, Liu Yiyi soon adjusted her emotions, smiled, and walked forward to ask, "Brother Xiao, this must be your wife, right? Hello, sister, I’m Liu Yiyi. You are really beautiful."

"You’re definitely the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen."

Her words weren’t meant to flatter Leng Ruobing.

Though Liu Yiyi herself was quite good-looking, compared to Leng Ruobing, she seemed much less striking. This was partly due to Leng Ruobing’s pregnancy, with the glow of motherhood enhancing her beauty.

Leng Ruobing smiled and said, "Miss Yiyi, welcome to Zhonghai City as our guest. You’re very beautiful, too. Xiao Zheng has mentioned you to me before, and I wanted him to invite you to Zhonghai City long ago, but things came up, and the invitation was delayed until now. I hope you don’t mind."

"Not at all! I’m just too happy to be here! Why would I mind?" Liu Yiyi quickly waved her hand and said a bit shyly, "It’s just that we came in such a rush that we didn’t bring any gifts..."

After saying this, she couldn’t help but glance at Leng Ruobing’s prominently rounded belly.

Leng Ruobing laughed again and said, "Talking about gifts makes it too formal. You’ve already called Xiao Zheng your brother, so we’re family now. Bringing gifts to a family gathering just makes it seem distant."

In her heart, she genuinely felt a pang of compassion for the girl in front of her.

Leng Ruobing had already discussed everything with Xiao Zheng over the phone yesterday. After learning about Liu Wufeng’s beast-like behavior, perhaps as a fellow woman, she felt a deep sympathy and pity for Liu Yiyi.

Thus, when she said she considered Liu Yiyi family, it was truly heartfelt.

Liu Yiyi was touched and momentarily couldn’t find the right words to respond.

Chu Xiaoran then laughed and said, "Alright, let’s stop standing here foolishly. It’s so cold outside; let’s hurry up. The dishes are already served at the hotel, and they’ll get cold if we don’t eat soon."

Upon hearing her, everyone walked into the hotel together.

Leng Ruobing had booked a large private room, which was ample for everyone that Xiao Zheng brought along. Once they entered, they found the dishes had indeed been served.

Being the host, Xiao Zheng naturally invited everyone to take a seat.

None of them stood on ceremony with him, even Mo Ye, who had become familiar with him, was no longer as formal as before. Sitting together, the meal atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After lunch, Long Qie and the others returned to headquarters.

They had been away with Xiao Zheng for several days, and many things had piled up at headquarters that required their attention.

Since business matters were urgent, Xiao Zheng did not stop them.

Once Long Qie and the others left, Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing, and Chu Xiaoran took Liu Yiyi and Mo Ye sightseeing around Zhonghai City. Zhonghai City was far more bustling than Canglong City, and the southern scenery was much more beautiful than the north.

Liu Yiyi was reluctant to leave, and even Mo Ye felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

After spending a day touring around, Xiao Zheng arranged a hotel for them.

They stayed in Zhonghai City for one night, and the day of their actual farewell finally arrived.

Early the next morning, Liu Yiyi and Mo Ye were to board a plane to Europe.

This time, Xiao Zheng didn’t ask Leng Ruobing to come; he sent the two off alone.

In the airport’s VIP lounge, the three sat and chatted.

Though they all wore smiles, there was still a bit of reluctance in their hearts.

"Brother Xiao, we’ve agreed then, as long as you have time, make sure to come to Europe to visit us." Liu Yiyi said.

At her words, Xiao Zheng nodded and smiled, "Don’t worry, I still have quite a few friends in Europe. I often go there on business, and whenever I have a chance, I’ll come find you."

He also decided to ask Catherine to take good care of Liu Yiyi and Mo Ye in Europe once he returned.

After all, Liu Yiyi and Mo Ye were now somewhat without support, and Xiao Zheng felt obliged to lend a hand.

"No matter what difficulties you face in the future, make sure to call me right away." Xiao Zheng added, "No matter how far, I’ll come to help you."

"Rest assured, Brother Xiao." Liu Yiyi said with a smile, "It’s not our first time going abroad; don’t forget, we’ve lived in Europe for over ten years. I’m definitely more familiar with it than you."

Mo Ye couldn’t help but laugh then and said, "Rest assured, Mr. Xiao, I’ll definitely take good care of Miss. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully her!"

"Your words put me at ease." Xiao Zheng laughed, "I consider Yiyi like a real sister; never mind outsiders, you can’t bully her either. You must always treat her well, understand?"

"Brother Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Yiyi blushed immediately.

As for Mo Ye, he also felt a bit embarrassed.

Xiao Zheng chuckled and stopped teasing them. Just then, the broadcast sounded, and he said, "Alright, all good things must come to an end; time is up, you better get going."

"Goodbye, Brother Xiao!" Liu Yiyi waved at him, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears.

Mo Ye didn’t speak, but his expression was similarly complex and reluctant.

However, like Xiao Zheng said, all parties must end; no matter how they wished otherwise, they still had to leave.

The plane took off, and Liu Yiyi and Mo Ye once again departed from their homeland.

This departure meant they probably wouldn’t have the chance to return again...
