Chapter Twenty-Two: The Moment of Revelation (Revised)

"Xiaozheng, I've arranged an event for you, starting tonight near the Cheng Group's headquarters. You'll be doing voice work—just go and perform as you see fit."

"Alright." Leng Zheng nodded, nestling into Cheng Yunting's embrace.

"I'll take you there. I can observe the event at the same time." Cheng Yunting fed Leng Zheng a slice of peach, his gaze full of affection.

"What the heck! Xiaozheng, are you falling for someone else?" On the other end of the line, Si Luoli nearly spat out her water in surprise.

Seeing her unreliable friend's nonsense, Leng Zheng hurriedly ended the call.

"My agent tends to ramble. Please don't mind her." Leng Zheng shivered as she looked at Cheng Yunting, as if he might devour her at any moment.

"It's nothing. Get yourself ready, I'll take you to the event." Cheng Yunting shook his head, dismissing Si Luoli's words—he hadn't even really heard them.

"Mm, okay." Leng Zheng nodded.

...

Although Cheng Yunting had seen Leng Zheng in formal wear before, he was still stunned by her beauty.

She wore the latest gown from the X.Z. house—the "Purple Desire" series, named "Xi."

"Xi" means hope; the gown symbolizes a ray of light in darkness—my salvation...

Cheng Yunting draped his suit over Leng Zheng's shoulders and carried her to the car.

"Hey, I can walk, my feet aren't hurt. You don't need to carry me." Leng Zheng's cheeks flushed.

"Well, you're wearing heels that high. Aren't you worried about twisting your ankle?" Cheng Yunting replied, a little annoyed.

Leng Zheng bristled at his words, but fearing the old man might tear apart her personally designed dress, she held her tongue.

...

Finally, they arrived at the event. Leng Zheng put on her mask and stepped out of the car, slipping back into her cold, aloof demeanor.

"Master Xi Zheng!" The staff spotted the signature fox mask and the purple gown and quickly came forward to greet her.

"Mm." Leng Zheng nodded. "When does the event start?"

"It's ready to begin now. Please follow me."

"Alright."
