53 Afraid of Him?

Just as Xing Shu was about to retract her hand, Cheng Lang moved his wrist back slightly and clasped her fingertips into his palm. Xing Shu’s heart trembled, and she tried her best to focus on the speech. “Management master Peter Drucker introduced this concept into business management for the first time. I thought with Young Uncle’s stature, you would be past watching these by now.”

Xing Shu was not deliberately sucking up to Cheng Lang. These theories were not rare in the financial industry. Cheng Lang had made a name for himself on Wall Street at the age of 16; it was impossible for him not to know about these.

As Cheng Lang listened, he played with Xing Shu’s fingers. His every move affected Xing Shu’s thoughts. Her mind became hazy gradually. This man had the ability to bewitch people without batting an eyelid!

“Professor Michael is my teacher.” Cheng Lang’s tone was calm as he held Xing Shu’s hand in his palm. He held it lightly and did not do anything else. Xing Shu hesitated for a moment before holding his hand back slightly. She wanted to let herself indulge a little in this space, ten thousand meters in the air. She knew that they were just putting on an act; a reality of love between a man and a woman. But she also yearned to take a breather and pretend to have a shoulder to lean on.

They landed in America after more than ten hours of flight. Even upon reaching their accommodation in a manor, Xing Shu still did not know the purpose of this business trip. While jet-lagged in her room, Xing Shu heard Jian Yaochuan’s voice emanating from outside. “President, President Feng of Fenglei Group is also here for the auction.”

An auction? Was there a high profile auction abroad recently? But if it was an auction, why did Cheng Lang bring her here? Xing Shu got the answer soon. Jian Yaochuan knocked on her door and handed her a document. “Ms. Xing, this is all the information on AN Group.”

AN Group? When the plane landed, Xing Shu had watched the local news and had not heard of any actions by AN Group.

Jian Yaochuan said, “All the conglomerates in North America will participate in the auction tomorrow night. The President of AN Group might propose a collaboration.”

Xing Shu’s heart trembled. All the conglomerates in North America? What kind of auction could gather such a grand lineup? She hid the surprise in her eyes and perused the information.

Cheng Lang and Jian Yaochuan left the manor and did not return until ten o’clock at night. When they returned, Cheng Lang smelled faintly of alcohol.

Xing Shu had already gone through AN Group’s information several times. To be safe, she did not dare to put it down even though she knew that she had memorized the contents. The main light in her room was turned off; only a reading light by the window was turned on. When Cheng Lang entered, Xing Shu was going through the pages. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and her facial features were exquisite. Be it men or women, they were all charming when they were hard at work.

Xing Shu looked up. “Young Uncle, as the two most powerful corporations in North America, AN Group and K Group are both going to participate in the auction this time. Since K Group and the Nie family are collaborating, will the Nie family send someone over?”

The lights in the room were red. The smell of alcohol permeated the air as Cheng Lang walked in. He glanced at the information about K Group displayed on Xing Shu’s computer screen before answering, “Nie Heng will be here.” He sat down behind Xing Shu and gently hugged her. “Afraid of him?”

To be honest, she was a little afraid. However, Xing Shu wanted to know more about Nie Heng because of Nie Xi.

Xing Shu said, “If the Nie family collaborates with K Group, Nie Heng’s status in the Nie family will be unparalleled, right?” If the affair between Nie Xi and Nie Heng were exposed in the future, Nie Heng could at least ensure Nie Xi’s safety.

Cheng Lang did not answer this question. He rested his chin gently on Xing Shu’s shoulder. The warm yellow light shone on him, and the atmosphere was inexplicably warm.

Xing Shu tried her best to ignore the strange feeling that rose in her heart. She actually felt at ease being with Cheng Lang? No, no, no, this was not a good sign at all… She was clearly not the one who had been drinking, but she seemed to be drunk and having delusions.

A numbing sensation emanated from her neck. It was Cheng Lang’s lips nibbling on her skin. It did not hurt; it was gentle. Xing Shu thought he must be drunk…

Xing Shu’s eyelashes kept trembling and she couldn’t help but dodge. “AN Group’s business doesn’t interact with Cheng Corporation Group. Cheng Corporation Group had already entered the foreign market the year you took over, Young Uncle. Logically speaking, there’s no need for such a collaboration. Is it because of the President of AN Corporation? I saw that he also graduated from Harvard and is Young Uncle’s friend? Hmm… be gentle…”
