Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: "Should I get him a ring?"

Peng Xiu caught a glimpse of a bright red bruise peeking through Han Xin’s collar as she reported back to him. Her eyes lingered on the mark, her mind racing with questions. Was it a rash? Was Han Xin allergic to something she didn’t know about? Had he eaten something unusual or changed his shower gel?

Han Xin noticed her gaze and asked, "What?"

Peng Xiu shook her head, saying, "It’s nothing." But she was already planning to get an allergy cream after this.

Han Zhan, who was lounging on the sofa playing games, looked up and said, "I am going to the café downstairs. Do you need anything?"

Han Xin tugged at his collar as if it were too tight and said, "You better not come back with cat fur."

Han Xin knew that Han Zhan wasn’t going to the café downstairs but to the Fluffy Café to play with cats. Han Zhan froze before saying, "What is your beef with cats? They’re cute."

Han Xin replied, "You better change your clothes before you come back."

"Fine, fine, cat hater," Han Zhan muttered as he walked out.

Han Xin didn’t reply. He turned back to the screen and said, "You tell them that their delays are unacceptable. If they persist, we will stop doing business with them."

When Peng Xiu didn’t respond, Han Xin raised his head to look at her. Her complexion was pale, and she wore an unsightly expression. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"What?" Han Xin asked.

Peng Xiu snapped out of it and said, "No, it’s nothing."

After she left his office, she walked two steps in a trance. She had excused the bruise on Han Xin’s neck as an allergic reaction, but when he tugged at his collar, Peng Xiu started to think it was a hickey. Jealousy rose from the pit of her stomach. She couldn’t believe it. How could it be?

She entered the elevator, her expression looking uglier than crying as she repressed the rage seething within her. As soon as she got into her office and locked the door, she swept everything off the desk, unleashing her pent-up anger. Because her office was soundproofed, she didn’t hesitate to scream in rage, having a manic episode.

Her new phone, which she had just bought after breaking the last one, buzzed as she almost threw it into the bookshelf. She unlocked it, and a creepy smile spread across her lips. Her mood took a drastic turn as she became happy again. She picked up the things on the ground and placed them back carefully.

Xiang Yu and Little Bai closed down the tattoo shop, the metallic clink of the shutters echoing in the quiet street. They walked towards the parking lot, their footsteps in sync. The black SUV was parked in the corner, its sleek frame gleaming under the dim lights.
