Chapter 129 Baby, We...
Chapter 129 Baby, We...
"Hello there."
Cheng Hao snapped out of his daze, raised his hand like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, ran his fingers through his hair, gave Lin Shuyao what he thought was a very handsome smile, and then reached out his hand to her.
"Comrade Shen, we'll be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me."
Looking at the hand extended in front of her, Lin Shuyao hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to loosely grasp it. She was about to pull it back when Cheng Hao's hand gripped hers tightly. His slightly damp fingertips rubbed against the back of her hand a few times. His hands were sweaty, and Lin Shuyao immediately felt as if she were being stuck with a slug. A chill ran down her spine, and she pulled her hand back forcefully.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her expression turned cold.
Her smile is sweet and charming, but when she doesn't smile, her aloofness and coolness have a different kind of charm.
Cheng Hao lowered his hands, rubbed his fingertips together, and felt a fire rise in his lower abdomen.
He gave her a wicked smile, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
Lin Shuyao felt that the smile was so oily it could be used to fry vegetables. She scoffed inwardly, ignored the other person, and turned to attend to her own business.
Lin Shuyao's desk and Cheng Hao's desk face each other.
She looked down intently at the documents, feeling as if a pair of eyes were glued to her. She glanced up and met Cheng Hao's gaze. Cheng Hao's eyes were burning with passion as he adjusted his glasses and said confidently, "Comrade Shen, can you understand these Russian documents? Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."
"You know I just came back from the Soviet Union. While I was there, I made several expert friends, like that guy, Professor Leonid from Moscow State University, you know? He works on missile fuel, and we're really close. We often have parties together on weekends. You know what a party is? It's a gathering."
"And then there was Ivan, the head of the translation department at the Soviet embassy in China. Knowing that I was going to study in the Soviet Union, he specifically instructed his family to take care of me, sending me things all the time, worried that I wouldn't be used to the food..."
puff.
That's quite a boast.
Lin Shuyao laughed inwardly.
But he didn't show it at all, and smiled, "I really do have a question to ask Comrade Cheng."
Lin Shuyao stood up and handed over a document. "I need this information urgently. I have other work to do. Comrade Cheng just returned from studying abroad, and his Russian is so good. Translating this kind of document will be a piece of cake for him. Can you help me out?"
Cheng Hao was just talking big, but he didn't expect Lin Shuyao to actually assign him work. Just as he was about to refuse, Lin Shuyao looked at him with admiration, pouted slightly, and said in a cute and coquettish expression, "Please~"
Cheng Hao immediately changed the subject, confidently stating, "Ahem, it's not too difficult, let me see."
Cheng Hao's attention was temporarily shifted from Lin Shuyao to the documents, and he stopped staring at her.
Lin Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief and threw herself back into her work.
The morning passed quickly, and when it was lunchtime, Lin Shuyao got up to pack her things. Her gaze inadvertently glanced at Cheng Hao, who was still scratching his head over the document. The workbook next to him, used for translating documents, only had a few lines of text, clearly indicating that he didn't know how to translate it at all.
Cheng Hao felt her gaze, slammed the documents onto his workbook, then glanced at his watch as if to make a show of it, and stood up, saying, "Oh dear, time flies. Let's eat first, and continue this afternoon. Let's go to the cafeteria together, Comrade Shen."
"I'm sorry, I have an appointment with someone." Lin Shuyao smiled apologetically and walked out.
"It's okay if we already made plans, can you include me?" Cheng Hao caught up with her in a few steps and walked alongside her. "I'm new to the factory and not familiar with it yet. Comrade Shen, could you show me around the factory after you finish eating?"
Lin Shuyao kept walking, her smile distant: "Comrade Cheng, you're overthinking it. The factory isn't that big; you'll get used to it after a couple of visits."
"But I have a terrible sense of direction and no memory for directions," Cheng Hao said shamelessly, continuing to follow, his gaze lingering on Lin Shuyao's profile. "Comrade Shen, show me around. I'll treat you to dinner and a movie tonight."
Cheng Hao stood in front of Lin Shuyao, winked at her, and curled his lips into what he thought was a very charming smile.
Lin Shuyao almost vomited from the oil.
How can a young man be so greasy?
"Comrade Cheng, you should find someone else. There are differences between men and women."
Lin Shuyao made her point clear and walked away from him with a cold face.
Cheng Hao remained unaffected and continued to follow her, even whispering in her ear until Lin Shuyao saw the familiar figure and ran over to him with light steps.
Cheng Hao stepped forward, but stopped abruptly when he saw the figure in front of him: "Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Zheng saw Cheng Hao following Lin Shuyao from afar. As a man, he was all too familiar with that look. He glanced at Cheng Hao indifferently, shielded Lin Shuyao behind him, and said to Cheng Hao, "I'm waiting for my girlfriend to have dinner."
Cheng Hao then realized what was happening, forcing a stiff smile. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I've heard it from my mom. Your relationship with Comrade Shen... it's a bit messy. How can you two be dating? You should avoid each other at the factory. It wouldn't be good if people found out."
Cheng Zheng's eyes held a clear warning: "Just mind your own business."
"Let's go." Cheng Zheng gave Lin Shuyao a light hug and led her away. He had already prepared the food and packed it in a lunchbox.
Watching the two figures walking side by side, Cheng Hao still tried to follow, but Cheng Zheng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. As soon as Cheng Hao took a step, he suddenly turned around and swept his gaze over. It was a faint look, but it carried an invisible sense of oppression. Cheng Hao immediately felt a chill down his spine, and his feet seemed to have taken root, so he could not take another step.
They could only watch helplessly as the two walked away.

"Aren't we going to eat in the office?" Lin Shuyao looked at the road in front of her; it wasn't leading back to the administration building.
"No, I applied for the cadre dormitory. We can rest there at noon from now on."
"Aren't you afraid someone will see you if you take me to your dorm?"
"So what if they see it? You're my girlfriend." Cheng Zheng has already taken care of things with Shen's adoptive parents. As long as they keep their mouths shut, no one will be able to find out about Lin Shuyao's relationship with the Cheng family.
Cheng Zheng took a step closer to Lin Shuyao, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, with no distance between them at all.
Just then, a few employees carrying lunchboxes walked towards us.
"Representative Cheng, and Secretary Shen!"
"What are you doing...?"
Several people greeted each other in unison, their eyes darting back and forth between the two as they saw them walking so close together, their gossip clearly evident.
Cheng Zheng nodded slightly, making no attempt to hide anything: "We're dating."
After saying that, he ignored everyone's expressions, took Lin Shuyao's hand, and pulled her along.
The employees were stunned by his candor, staring at each other wide-eyed. Then, they turned incredulously to look at the two holding hands before finally coming to their senses: "Did you hear that? The representative said he and Comrade Xiao Shen are... dating?"
"Yes, I heard it too, they're dating! They're even holding hands!"
"My goodness, this is huge news for our factory! Representative Cheng actually has a girlfriend! How many female colleagues are going to be heartbroken!"
"What's so surprising? I'm not surprised at all. With such a beautiful and outstanding woman like Xiao Shen working right under the delegate's nose every day, it would be strange if the delegate wasn't tempted!"
"That's true, they're a perfect match, handsome man and beautiful woman!"
The news that Cheng Zheng and Lin Shuyao were dating spread like wildfire throughout Factory 306.
The two parties involved had just arrived at their dormitory.
Cheng Zheng took out his key, opened the door, and gestured for Lin Shuyao to go in first. Lin Shuyao pursed her red lips, peeked inside, and then took a few steps to walk in.
The dormitory room was a single room with a single bed against the wall, a desk opposite the bed, and a rack for holding a basin and towels next to it. There was nothing else there.
Lin Shuyao walked towards the bed, and the sound of the door closing came from behind her. Before she could turn around, Cheng Zheng hugged her from behind.
His chin rested on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her neck, and he said softly, "Haven't seen you all morning, baby."
Lin Shuyao's heart skipped a beat when he called her "baby," a tingling sensation shooting from her ears to her fingertips. She turned her head to say something, but he found her lips and kissed her.
His tongue pried open her teeth and plunged in, entangling her and sucking her mouth hard. His tongue swept over every inch of her sweetness. Lin Shuyao was so breathless from the kiss that she whimpered and leaned back, but his large hand held her head firmly, pinning her to his chest and making her unable to move.
"Mmm... Eek..."
She hummed softly, her body as limp as if her bones had been removed. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck like vines, her fingertips curling slightly as she slowly stroked the bulging veins on the side of his neck down the back of his neck.
The veins on her fingertips throbbed intensely, burning hot.
A suppressed groan escaped Cheng Zheng's throat as his lips moved away from hers, tracing a path down her cheek...
His burning lips roamed over her skin, igniting flames wherever they touched, making her tremble all over. She tilted her head back, her neck forming a beautiful arc, her red lips parting uncontrollably, the sounds escaping her lips a mixture of desire and a plea for him to stop or continue.
……
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Shuyao was held in Cheng Zheng's arms. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily. The veins on his arms around her were bulging, clearly indicating that he was trying his best to restrain something.
Several seconds later, he said in a hoarse voice:
"Baby, will you marry me?"
