Chapter 22: The Seal Was Undone (1/2)

Translator: Dragon Rider

Li Zong walked out of the Supernaturalism Management Bureau (SMB), intending to go home. Zu Zhichong, who had left the compound a little later than Li Zong, broke into a trot and caught up with Li Zong. ”Hey, Chief. I want to ask you something.”

Li Zong halted and turned aside to look at Zu Zhichong.

”Chief, are you really going to marry that guy from He family?” After hearing the conversation between He Zheng and Li Zong on the plane, Zu Zhichong felt that the whole world had gone crazy. He couldn't help nagging. ”I know that guy is good-looking... but there's no need to do this. Chief, you are at the top of the excellent husband-to-be list of our bureau!”

Seeing that Zu Zhichong was talking non-stop, Li Zong knitted his eyebrows and planned to ignore him.

Another person showed up on their side. It was a pretty girl who looked as cute as a doll. She was Zhen Ni, the only female group member of the first action group of SMB.

But her manner was far removed from that of a doll. She directly gave Zu Zhichong a kick. ”Hey, you think you're acting in an opera or something? Why do you keep nagging like that?”

”Zhen Ni! I've warned you ten thousand times not to kick my ass!” Zu Zhichong gasped in pain and then abruptly got angry.

The two people began quarreling. Li Zong had to watch them squabble numerous times every day. He had just had a meeting with senior management of SMB and the issues discussed during the meeting were still giving him headaches. As a result, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his forehead. ”Neither of you cares about the bonus of the next month, I suppose?”

The two people shut up at the same time.

Eyes of Zhen Ni were randomly darting back and forth, but she didn't dare to rest them on Li Zong. In fact, she had also just heard about Li Zong's engagement on the grapevine and rushed here at once to confirm it.

Zhen Ni made up her mind. She bit her lower lip and looked at Li Zong. After hesitating for quite a while, she asked, ”Chief, is it true that you and that... that...”

”That good-for-nothing from He family are getting married.” Zu Zhichong sourly rolled his eyes and finished her sentence for her. He was also puzzled. ”But why, Chief? Why did you agree?”

Zu Zhichong couldn't help recalling that on the plane, He Zheng asked Li Zong to do him a favor, and Li Zong agreed without even asking what kind of favor it was.

Afterwards, to Zu Zhichong's surprise, He Zheng asked Li Zong to marry him!

Li Zong never liked to share his private affairs with other people but made an exception in this case. He slightly raised his head. It seemed as if he was looking at those ever-changing clouds in the sky, but he also seemed to be looking through the clouds thinking about someone. ”He's different.”

Zu Zhichong fell speechless.

So did Zhen Ni.

'Why is Chief acting like a teenage girl in love?!' they wondered in shock.

In He family.

He Zheng lived in a separate room next to the window on the second floor, which was the largest room in He family's messuage. Since Zhu Ning had picked this room for He Zheng shortly after He Zheng was born, Qiao Peiyu didn't dare to ask He Zheng to move to another room.

At this moment, He Zheng was leaning against the rail of the balcony. Beside him was a small table on which the green jade pendant broken by him was placed. A faint light was emanating from the fracture of the broken pendant.
