CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings

The night was as dark as ink, and a few sparse stars twinkled faintly in the high sky, as if they would be swallowed by the endless darkness at any time. Inside the villa, the lights were dim and quiet, and the hazy halo seemed to be projected from the depths of time, carrying a forgotten and old atmosphere, as if every corner was silently telling a long and mysterious story.

Jiang Xiyan's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, like two extremely sharp swords, emitting a chilling aura. His voice was icy cold, like the howling wind in the cold night, and he said word by word: "Mr. Shen, has the plan been completed? If there are any problems, please submit it to me now for review."

Shen Jingyan, who was standing at the side, had a beautiful face full of endless grievances and complaints, just like a delicate flower that had been ravaged by a storm. She murmured to herself in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Why is there only that damn plan in your mind? Is there nothing else we can talk about besides work?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Shen Jingyan. His eyes were extremely cold, as if they could freeze everything around him. At the same time, the words that came out of his mouth were full of undisguised sarcasm: "Boss Shen, Boss Shen, do you naively think that I am willing to help you just to chat with you and kill time?"

In Shen Jingyan's eyes, which were as bright as stars, there was a steadfast light, as hot and dazzling as if burning a raging fire. This light was so strong that it was impossible to ignore the determination and persistence it contained.

She raised her chin slightly and responded in a resolute manner: "But I just want to talk to you, no matter when and where, no matter what obstacles I encounter, this idea will not waver in the slightest. Because only by communicating with you can my heart be truly satisfied; and only by listening to your voice can I feel that unique warmth and tranquility. So, please don't reject me, let us share each other's joys and sorrows together!" Her words were full of sincerity and desire, as if every word was a clear spring flowing from the bottom of her heart, clear and moving.

Jiang Xiyan sneered, and the sound echoed in the silent space, with a chilling indifference. He put his hands in his pockets leisurely, and his posture was like a king who was high above everyone else, with a look of disdain in his eyes: "Heh, Mr. Shen, I don't have so much free time to chat with you. If I have this time, I might as well spend more time on work."

Shen Jingyan's eyes were as gentle and deep as water. She said softly with affection: "Xi Yan, please take a look at this exquisite and elegant villa! Can you still remember the scene when we first met? The sun seemed to be particularly bright at that time, and the breeze gently brushed my hair..."

However, Jiang Xiyan had an indifferent expression. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, quickly scanned the villa in front of him without any emotion, as if it was just an ordinary object. His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze people into ice in an instant: "Mr. Shen, please don't waste time talking about these irrelevant things. I came here today just to check the plan. As for the things that happened in the past, I'm sorry, I really don't have the slightest interest to recall them." After saying that, he turned his eyes away from Shen Jingyan, as if looking at her for one more second would make him feel bored.

Shen Jingyan's voice trembled slightly, like leaves falling in the autumn wind. She said slowly: "I have been fostered in your home since I was a child. At that time, you were gentle and polite, and I always bullied you. Because Grandpa Jiang protected me, I did a lot of things to hurt you unscrupulously. Don't you remember all this?"

Jiang Xiyan was dazed for a moment when he heard this, as if something was surging in the depths of his memory. But soon, he returned to his indifference, which was like a solid wall that was difficult to cross. He said, "I have long forgotten everything about my childhood, so why should Mr. Shen mention it again?"

Shen Jingyan's eyes were red, and the crystal tears rolled in her eyes like morning dew. She said, "But it happened a year ago. I had a fever at that time. You came to France to see me in the name of your grandfather. You were very concerned about me, but I was cold to you. Although you were very angry, you never abandoned me. You didn't leave France until I recovered from my illness."

Jiang Xiyan clenched his fists slightly, as if trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart. His voice was still cold: "I don't want to talk about the past anymore, and you don't have to mention it anymore. I'm only doing this for Grandpa's sake."

Shen Jingyan bit her lips, her soft lips like a delicate flower. She said, "But you kissed me secretly at that time, how can I explain this?"

Jiang Xiyan's face darkened, and his eyes instantly became extremely sharp, as if they could penetrate everything. His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air into ice: "Shen Jingyan, there are some things you can't say casually. I will not admit to something I haven't done."

Jiang Xiyan had a grim expression and said in a stiff tone: "Boss Shen, I hope you can understand that I am here to help you only because of work. Don't try to use these things to influence me."

Shen Jingyan's voice was full of helplessness, like a traveler lost in the desert. She said, "Work, do you know how I got that clothing store? You opened it for me, do you really not remember?"

Jiang Xiyan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful when he heard this. The doubt spread in his heart like a faint smoke. But his face remained expressionless: "I don't remember. Even if I did it, it was just out of...sympathy."

Shen Jingyan said excitedly: "Sympathy? We are actually husband and wife."

Jiang Xiyan's face darkened, and his eyes instantly became icy cold. His cold gaze made people shudder. His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze everything: "Shen Jingyan, watch your words. There are some things you shouldn't say, and I don't want to hear them a second time."

Tears welled up in Shen Jingyan's eyes, and her sad expression was touching. She said, "You have completely forgotten our past."

Jiang Xiyan put his hands in his pockets and looked at Shen Jingyan indifferently, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. His tone was calm: "Even if there is, so what? The past is the past. I only care about the company's affairs now."

Shen Jingyan looked disappointed, and her expression was like a withered flower. She said, "Forget it, this is a sad place. Now that Grandpa and Brother Wuque are no longer alive, you have completely forgotten me. I am tired. I will leave the company to you. I plan to go to France and never come back!"

Jiang Xiyan frowned, and his frown seemed to be two deep furrows. His expression was still cold: "Shen Jingyan, the company needs you right now, you can't just leave."

Shen Jingyan's voice was resolute, like a sharp blade. She said, "The company was established with your money. Now, I don't want to stay in City A any longer. Please take care of yourself."

Jiang Xiyan put his hands in his pockets, looked at Shen Jingyan indifferently, and said in a low voice: "Shen Jingyan, do you think you can leave the company whenever you want?" After a moment of silence, he slowed down his tone: "I will check the past."

Shen Jingyan's eyes were full of doubt, as if questioning the injustice of fate. She said, "Find out? You look at me, you have forgotten who I am and our past, how are you going to find out?"

Jiang Xiyan stared at Shen Jingyan closely, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through her. He said, "I naturally have my own way. You are not allowed to leave until I find out the truth."

Shen Jingyan looked expectant, like flowers waiting for spring. She said, "Then I want you to tell me, do you still like me?"

Jiang Xiyan's heart felt like it was being gently scratched by a small hand, itchy, but also a little painful. But he still said mercilessly: "Shen Jingyan, do you think I still have the mind to think about these things now?"

Shen Jingyan said firmly: "I just want to know the answer."

Jiang Xiyan snorted coldly and turned his head away, no longer looking at Shen Jingyan. His indifferent attitude seemed to reject the whole world. His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him: "It's already this time, and you still have the mind to ask these irrelevant questions."

Shen Jingyan's face was full of affection, and that affectionate gaze seemed to be able to melt the ice of a thousand years. She said: "If you still like me, I am willing to stay for you and accompany you to find out why you lost your memory?"

Jiang Xiyan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the slight throbbing in his heart. The throbbing was like ripples on the lake, and it instantly returned to calm. His voice was indifferent: "No need, I don't want to involve you, you just need to do your own thing."

Shen Jingyan smiled mischievously, and that smile was as bright as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire space. She said, "Jiang Xiyan, I found that you have become even cuter after losing your memory."

Jiang Xiyan's expression turned cold upon hearing this, and he returned to his usual coldness, which was like an indestructible armor. He said, "Shen Jingyan, I think you are confused. This kind of boring joke is not funny at all."

Shen Jingyan smiled and said, "Really? It's past eight o'clock now. Have you had dinner yet?"

Jiang Xiyan raised his hand to check his watch and said expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with you." Then he changed the subject, his tone still cold, "Is the plan ready? I want to see it tomorrow."

Shen Jingyan sighed, and that sigh was like falling petals. She said, "Alas, I have been thinking about the plan all day. Goodbye, I will go back to my room to work on the plan."

Jiang Xiyan called Shen Jingyan, his expression was still cold, but his eyes were complicated, as if hiding countless secrets. He said, "Wait, I will consider what you just said, but now, let's finish the plan first."
