Chapter 12 The Beautiful CEO

```

In the bathroom.

Shen Qingzhi put down her phone and looked at Su Luo, "Zhou Shihao has already left."

At that moment, Su Luo opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a turbid breath. His eyes became exceptionally bright, "That's just right."

"What's just right?" Shen Qingzhi frowned.

Seeing her slightly defensive look, Su Luo gave a bitter smile, "Aunt Shen, why do I feel like you're guarding against me as if I were a thief?"

Shen Qingzhi took a towel and wrapped all her important parts, saying, "With your history, do you think I can feel at ease?"

With a bitter smile, Su Luo said, "What I meant by just right is..." He originally wanted to say that it referred to him having a stroke of luck when Zhou Shihao left, just as he broke through to the Second Level of Qi Refinement, but after a second thought, he realized he couldn't disclose the secret of cultivation, so he changed his words and said, "Anyway, it's not about that kind of man-woman thing, rest assured, you don't have to be so guarded against me."

Shen Qingzhi's cheeks turned slightly red. She had actually misunderstood, thinking that Su Luo was once again in heat, suggesting that with Zhou Shihao gone, it was just right to do that kind of thing with her.

"At least you have some sense," Shen Qingzhi's tone remained somewhat cold.

"Aunt Shen, thank you," Su Luo said earnestly.

"Thank me for what?" asked Shen Qingzhi in a disgruntled tone.

Su Luo said, "Of course, for saving me today, and also for rescuing me the night before, and for giving me an unforgettable wedding night."

Shen Qingzhi's cheeks instantly heated up, but her strong emotional control prevented any shy expressions, and she said rather coolly, "That was not to give you an unforgettable wedding night; I did it to get back at Zhou Shihao, to make him wear a green hat. Don't get it mixed up."

"Fine, I'll just consider myself a tool. But you've saved me twice in a row, which is true. Especially this time, taking a huge risk under Zhou Shihao's watchful eye. If I didn't have any gratitude, wouldn't you have lost your purity to a complete scoundrel?" Su Luo smiled.

This time, Shen Qingzhi didn't refute Su Luo.

"You've been injured by Lin Wu; you should go to the hospital for a check-up and make sure there are no lasting effects," Shen Qingzhi sighed and said.

Su Luo nodded, "Aunt Shen, I'll be leaving first then. I'll repay you later."

Of course, he wasn't intending to go to the hospital, but to avoid Zhou Shihao coming back out of the blue and involving Shen Qingzhi.

Of course, there was another very important reason.

Su Luo was out for revenge.

Now that he had the strength, he wasn't going to adhere to the saying "a gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years." Naturally, he wanted to retaliate immediately to feel relieved.

However, just as Su Luo had opened the bathroom door and was about to step out, suddenly, the room door was pushed open.

A woman walked in.

Su Luo's expression instantly changed as he quickly withdrew back into the room.

Shen Qingzhi was just behind him, also planning to leave, but did not expect Su Luo to retreat abruptly, causing them to bump into each other.

"What's wrong?"

The towel wrapped around Shen Qingzhi nearly became undone from Su Luo's collision, almost resulting in an exposure, but instead of getting angry, Shen Qingzhi immediately went on alert and quietly asked.

She instinctively assumed that Zhou Shihao had suddenly returned.

"A woman."

Su Luo backtracked and quietly closed the bathroom door, whispering to her.

A woman?

Shen Qingzhi was briefly puzzled.

The next second, a slightly cold female voice rang out in the room, "The door's open, why is there no one here?"

She seemed to have seen the clothes taken off and laid on the bed, and then walked towards the bathroom, "Qingzhi, are you taking a bath?"

Hearing the voice, Shen Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's her!"

"Who?" Su Luo was confused.

"The CEO of Qingxi Group, Lin Ruoxi!" Shen Qingzhi said.

Qingxi Group?

Su Luo's expression became strained.

Before he acquired the cultivation inheritance, he was just a common worker, and Qingxi Group was the company where he worked.

And Lin Ruoxi—

was none other than the famously aloof ice-queen CEO!

She actually knew Aunt Shen?

And moreover, called her so intimately?

"What's your relationship with her?" Su Luo hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"You could consider us sisters, best friends, either is fine," Shen Qingzhi said.

Lin Ruoxi was one of her few close friends.

But at that moment, Lin Ruoxi had already reached the bathroom door. She knocked and called, "Qingzhi."

Shen Qingzhi put a finger to her sexy lips, motioning Su Luo to be silent with a shushing gesture, shook her head at him, signaling him to remain quiet.

Pretending there was no one there.

That way, Lin Ruoxi might leave.

"Qingzhi?"

After a moment, Lin Ruoxi called out again.

Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi remained unresponsive.

Lin Ruoxi suddenly became anxious, "Qingzhi, you didn't pass out from soaking too long in the bath, did you?"

With that, she immediately turned the doorknob.

This is bad.

Suddenly, Su Luo's expression changed.

When he hastily retreated earlier, to avoid alarming Lin Ruoxi, he closed the bathroom door as quietly as possible, but forgot to lock it.

And now it was too late to lock it.

The next second.

The door opened.
