Chapter 458 Easier Than Expected

"Why did you buy so much stuff?" Qin Zheng stared wide-eyed as Zhang Xiaoyu busily took out a whole bunch of things, including a potted plant.

Zhang Xiaoyu: "It's not much, after all, we came to King's place, so we felt we should bring something. It would be embarrassing to come empty-handed."

Qin Zheng: "But I only brought two bottles of wine."

Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "You brought alcohol? King should be able to drink."

After all, King seems to be a wealthy CEO, and he would need to drink when doing business and dealing with others. However, this may just be her stereotype.

Shu Han: "Don't take so much, I'll take half for you."

Zhang Xiaoyu: "Thank you, Xiaohan~"

Upon seeing this, Qin Zheng immediately extended his hand: "I can help you get some too. The wine is just something I grabbed from home."

It should be said that his brother reminded him just before he left, knowing that he was going out to visit someone, and that it would be more polite to at least prepare a spare gift.

I saw that the packaging looked nice, so I just grabbed it.

Cheng Yanqing also took a gift box out of the trunk of the car. Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't surprised; he seemed like the kind of person who knew how to be polite. Even Qin Zheng remembered to bring a gift, so Brother Yanqing certainly wouldn't forget.

"I'll take the rest," Cheng Yanqing said.

Zhang Xiaoyu was holding a flowerpot in one hand, so naturally she couldn't carry much with the other.

Shu Han and Qin Zheng were both helping her carry it, but there was still a little left.

"Thank you, Brother Yanqing. But what did you bring?" Zhang Xiaoyu asked. The gift box looked very high-end.

Cheng Yanqing: "They are some tonics."

Just then, the villa door opened.

Zhang Xiaoyu subconsciously looked over and saw a tall young man walking out. He had a handsome face and was wearing a black turtleneck sweater. He was also looking at them.

"welcome."

Zhang Xiaoyu asked somewhat nervously, "Excuse me, are you King?"

Li Shuchen looked at her, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, but he still nodded: "Yes, it's me, Xiaoyu. Don't call me King here, my name is Li Shuchen."

Qin Zheng glanced at him a few times, and a sense of wariness immediately arose in his mind. What's going on? It's one thing that President Yan was good-looking, but how come King's real appearance is also unexpectedly handsome?

Although he was confident that his looks were no less than those two, the sudden appearance of two such good-looking people made his own good looks less noticeable. Wouldn't Xiaoyu be drawn to them?

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Qin Zheng did not do anything inappropriate. He politely introduced himself, "Hello, I am Qin Zheng."

Zhang Xiaoyu added, "Qin Zheng is the God of War."

Li Shuchen nodded to Qin Zheng: "Hello."

"This is my good friend Shu Han."

Shu Han greeted them as well, her gaze subtly sweeping over the three men before finally settling on Xiao Yu. These three men all seemed quite capable, and Xiao Yu's composure reassured her considerably.

It's a good thing that I wasn't tempted by their looks.

Cheng Yanqing and Li Shuchen already knew each other, so they nodded to each other as a greeting.

"Please come in, but you've brought so much stuff, it's too kind of you."

Everyone was carrying a lot of things, which Li Shuchen noticed at a glance, and he looked somewhat helpless.

"After all, I'm going to trouble you today, and I didn't bring much with me, just some fruit," Zhang Xiaoyu said quickly as they followed King into the villa.

After setting aside the gifts she had brought, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at King and asked, "Is it alright to put the flowers here?"

Li Shuchen nodded: "Yes, the flowers are beautiful, thank you. Did you choose these?"

Although King's praise seemed much colder than Yanqing's previous compliments, it was more like a polite response.

But Zhang Xiaoyu was still quite happy. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, I chose it at the flower shop yesterday. I took care of it overnight, and I was really worried that it would wilt the next day. Fortunately, it is still full of life now."

Li Shuchen looked at the flower, and seeing that the girl did indeed seem relieved of a heavy burden, he asked doubtfully, "It is indeed well cared for, and it shouldn't wilt after a day."

Zhang Xiaoyu said seriously, "I'm afraid I'm a plant killer. Many of the flowers I've grown before have died, but my cherry tomatoes are the only ones that are thriving."

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Come sit here."

He had initially thought he might need to be patient with these strangers.

But in reality, he felt much better. There was even less of a sense of unfamiliarity she brought, and he felt that he could actually get along with others quite easily.
