Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1112: A Pair of Quarreling Sweethearts

Zheng Xu had heard her call him a toothpick man so many times that his ears were about to grow calluses. How could he not prove himself as a man?

Just as he was about to show the girl something colorful, he saw A-Ka hurriedly pull out a mini camera from her chest and calling to him,

”Come on, hurry up and strip. Look~ Look at the camera, my living expenses for the second half of my life depend on Mr. Zheng’s nude photo!”

Zheng Xu intended to scare her a bit, but didn’t expect the girl to already have such thick skin, surpassing human norms.

”Are you still a woman?” he disdainfully said.

A-Ka proudly puffed up her chest, ”How am I not? My parents made me this perfect, can’t you see?”

Zheng Xu pouted, ”Such a little thing, what’s the boast about!”

He was already mentally prepared to argue with this girl all the way, but after a few exchanges, A-Ka stopped talking. Zheng Xu glanced back to see her hanging her head in a meek and pitiful manner.

”Here.” He handed her a towel, thinking she was cold.

A-Ka took it and randomly wiped herself a few times before throwing it aside with a sigh.

”What, repenting for all the bad things you’ve done?” Zheng Xu asked mischievously.

A-Ka gave him a weak glance, ”I’m not in the mood to argue with you right now. I’m really worried about Qian, her phone is unreachable again.”

Hearing this, Zheng Xu freed a hand to dial Chen Xiaoqian’s home number, but no one answered.

Looking at the silent A-Ka in the back seat, it was strange for him to see her suddenly so quiet.

”I remember Chen Xiaoqian wasn’t that nice to you, right? Are you just trying to protect her because you were paid to do so?” Zheng Xu had always been curious about this since Xiaoqian told him A-Ka was following her on Qi Yu Xuan’s orders.

Aside from this relationship between A-Ka and Xiaoqian, he was also curious about the relationship between A-Ka and her boss.

”Initially, it was to make money. My boss really admired Qian; if there were any accidents, she would likely become my junior sister. But later on, it wasn’t for money that I stuck by her.”

”Oh, so you’re a lesbian, trying to pursue Chen Xiaoqian?”

A-Ka swept the paint-stained towel across his face, ”Zheng Peacock, just because you’re a mess don’t assume everyone is like you. Who told you that liking someone means it’s all about physical friction?”

”Oh?”

”I genuinely like Qian’s character, admiring her loyalty to friends. People who achieve great things say they don’t bother with details, but I see society as a big river and lake where you can’t do without loyalty. She is open-minded in making friends and treats those she values with sincerity. Just like you; despite your unruly nature and chaotic relationships, she doesn’t mind and sees your shining points...”

Whenever this girl starts talking about him, it’s always like she’s stabbing him in the lung, with not a single pleasant word. Zheng Xu feels that perhaps he’s become seasoned; his tolerance has improved so much that he can endure this.

Then he heard A-Ka muttering to herself, ”I’m also lenient with you because you’re Qian’s friend—”

”Stop right there! Lenient?!” Zheng Xu’s newfound tolerance was shattered back to its original state by her words.

”Otherwise, what do you think? You tied me up for so long, I just vented a little. Otherwise, I would have messed you up, at least as an ex-agent!”

”Same here, if it weren’t for considering you’re Chen Xiaoqian’s friend, I’d have chopped you into pieces and fed you to the fish!”

”Friend?!” A-Ka’s eyes widened, looking quite pleased, ”Did she say I’m her friend?”

”Why are you so humble? Chen Xiaoqian has so many friends, one more doesn’t count, one less doesn’t matter, why take it so seriously?” Zheng Xu sees her like this, feeling a strange emotion, it’s like she lacked love growing up, a bit of sunshine and she brightens right up.

”It’s different. I very much hope to be Qian’s friend. I’ve never had many friends growing up; each senior brother is stranger than the next... Oh, I don’t even know how Qian is now. Drive faster.”

Somehow, Zheng Xu suddenly seemed to understand this bratty girl, and why the authorities would place such a half-baked protector by Xiaoqian’s side.

This girl may have average abilities, but she’s genuine, straightforward, repaying kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge if bullied, yet she sticks to her principles without causing him too much trouble, she really is...

”Hey, why are you stopping the car? Qian is still waiting for us to rescue her, hey! Where are you going!” A-Ka watched Zheng Xu park the car by the roadside, then he opened the door and got out.

Zheng Xu got out, opened the trunk, took out a set of brand new clothes, returned to the car, and threw them at her.

”Put them on. Look at you like a frozen cat, don’t die in my car.”

”Your clothes?”

”What do you think? A beggar can’t be choosy! Stay put in the car, I’ll be right back.”

He left a sentence, then closed the car door and walked off towards the supermarket.

A-Ka didn’t know what he was doing, waiting just a few minutes before he came back, carrying a bag of items, getting into the car, and tossing them to A-Ka.

”Why did you buy so much floral water, cotton balls, mineral water, and soap? Hey, there’s a small basin too?”

”You’re so stupid, floral water can remove paint, didn’t you know? Besides, why haven’t you changed your clothes? Wearing wet clothes is comfortable?”

”I’m covered in paint, changing clothes would just get them dirty too.” A-Ka looked at the floral water bottle curiously, ”This stuff can really remove paint?”

Feels so magical.

”Nonsense, hurry and clean up, you’re filthy.”

A-Ka tried using cotton balls to apply floral water on the paint on her hands, and it really worked, so she poured the whole bottle into the basin, instantly filling the car with a strong sharp scent, mixed with the previous paint smell, making Zheng Xu’s nose itch more and more.

”Hurry up, it’s suffocating!”

A-Ka soaked her hands in the floral water, Zheng Xu watched her fumbling around and couldn’t help but give a hint, ”After cleaning, wait a bit, then dump the floral water and wash hands with soap. How are you so dense, don’t know these basics?”

”How could I know? We never had this stuff, it smells pretty nice.”

A-Ka quite liked the scent of Liushen floral water, her mention of its pleasant smell reminded Zheng Xu of the cringe-worthy nickname she had given him before.

Zheng Xu had rhinitis, the strong scent had his symptoms flaring. He was about to urge her to clean up quickly and throw it away when he saw A-Ka using cotton balls to wipe the car spots she dirtied, well great, now the car’s scent would probably linger for ages.
