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

Chapter 124 How painful it is to be reluctant to leave

Shen Jingyan glanced at Lin Xi deeply, her eyes full of concern, and said softly: "Take care, I have to go!"

Lin Xi had a sad face, and her voice was filled with helplessness and worry: "Jingyan, Mu Hanchen is much stronger than me, and now his mother is pregnant with my father's child. If this continues, I'm afraid my position in the family will become more and more awkward, and my status will become increasingly slim. Tell me, what should I do?"

Shen Jingyan patted Lin Xi's shoulder and comforted her gently: "If we can't fight it now, then we should just go with the flow. After I get through this busy time, I will come to help you!"

Lin Xi was filled with gratitude, her eyes slightly red, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, Jingyan! With your words, I feel much more at ease."

Shen Jingyan smiled slightly, her tone firm and full of trust: "I know your work ability very well, you have always been conscientious and hardworking. As long as you are determined to accomplish something, you will definitely succeed! So don't be discouraged, believe that you can get through the difficulties."

"Thank you for your encouragement, I really appreciate it! But it's getting late now, you should go back soon. When you get home safely, please remember to call me to let me know you're safe!" Lin Xi said with a smile, a look of concern and reluctance in her eyes.

"Okay, then we'll say goodbye first. Goodbye!" Shen Jingyan responded softly, nodded slightly, then turned around and walked slowly towards the inside of the airport with firm and light steps. Every step seemed to carry endless thoughts and emotions, which made people couldn't help but be moved.

The sun shines on her, outlining a beautiful figure. Her long hair flutters in the wind, like a moving painting. Although she has a thousand feelings in her heart, she still maintains her calmness and composure.

As Shen Jingyan walked away, Lin Xi stood quietly, his eyes following her back. He did not retract his gaze until the familiar figure completely disappeared from his sight, and took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions.

The sun shines through the window into the spacious and bright conference room. Shen Jingyan returns from a long journey, her beautiful and resolute face reveals a trace of fatigue, but her eyes are shining with determination. As soon as she returns to the company, she immediately convenes an important meeting.

Everyone sat around the conference table, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn. However, when everyone's eyes swept across the seats, they couldn't help but show doubts - Jiang Xiyan was absent from this meeting! You know, on weekdays, he is one of the most diligent and active employees in the company, and he almost never misses work.

"Why hasn't Vice President Jiang come to the company these days?" Shen Jingyan frowned, with a hint of curiosity and worry in her tone.

Since Shen Jingyan spent a huge amount of money to buy Jiang Xiyan's exquisite house, she let Jiang Xiyan continue to live in this mansion that originally belonged to her because she liked him. Shen Jingyan was so tolerant and kind, but Jiang Xiyan did not seem to have too much attachment to this home. Instead, he often disappeared and rarely returned here.

Shen Jingyan dragged her exhausted body, finished a whole day of busy and stressful work, and finally slowly stepped into the familiar and slightly heavy door of Jiangyu Manor.

She stood quietly in the middle of the spacious garden, looking up at the stars above her head that twinkled faintly and dotted the night sky like gems. The breeze brushed her cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility, but it could not soothe the ripples in her heart.

Thoughts surged into her mind like a tide, and bits and pieces of the past flashed before her eyes like movie scenes. Since her beloved parents left her, the world seemed to have become particularly cold and lonely. However, in those dark days, only Grandpa Jiang gave her endless warmth and love. He was like a bright lamp, illuminating her way forward; and like a clear spring, moistening her dry soul.

But now, even the kind and amiable Grandpa Jiang has passed away forever. This magnificent manor is the last precious memory that Grandpa Jiang left for her. Every corner and every brick and stone seems to carry the good times they spent together and those unforgettable laughters.

At this moment, Jiang Xiyan, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared!

"Jiang Xiyan, what have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you in the company for a long time, and you don't even go home!" Shen Jingyan frowned and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction and worry in her tone.

Jiang Xiyan paused slightly, as if thinking about how to answer, and then slowly said: "I will never live here again, so... I'll give you the key to this manor!" As he spoke, he took out an exquisite key from his pocket and handed it to Shen Jingyan.

Hearing this, Shen Jingyan widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. She asked anxiously: "Why? Why did you decide this suddenly? Did something happen? Or... are you not satisfied with something here?" A series of questions came out of her mouth, showing her inner confusion and uneasiness.

In this quiet night, the watery moonlight sprinkled on the earth, covering the whole world with a layer of silver gauze. Jiang Xiyan quietly looked at Shen Jingyan's anxious expression, and a warm current surged in his heart, but the words he uttered were still as cold as frost: "Nothing, there is really no special reason. It's just that now, everything here is no longer worth lingering for me. Take this key."

Shen Jingyan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. At this moment, the night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness, blowing her hair. She stood under the hazy moonlight, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "This is where you grew up! There are so many memories here, how can you say you don't miss it?"

Jiang Xiyan walked slowly to the window, his hands casually in his pockets. Outside the window, the night was dark and the stars were dotted, as if telling endless mysteries. He left Shen Jingyan with his back, and said in a low and suppressed voice: "What's the use of lingering? It doesn't matter whether you have it or not. I have made up my mind that in a few days, I will leave here and go abroad to explore new horizons and pursue the things I must pursue."

"Are you really leaving?" Shen Jingyan's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of barely perceptible panic.

Jiang Xiyan turned his head slightly and looked at the bright starry sky outside the window. The moonlight sprinkled on him, but it could not dispel the deep loneliness in his heart. "Well, there are some things I have to do. When I get everything done, I will leave."

"Since you want to leave, I won't keep you! Go ahead." Shen Jingyan turned around abruptly, with her back to Jiang Xiyan. She bit her lips tightly, trying not to cry out loud, but tears still flowed down in an instant. The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a sad melody for their departure.

When Jiang Xiyan heard Shen Jingyan's crying voice, his heart seemed to be pierced by countless needles. He turned around slowly, his eyes fell on Shen Jingyan's trembling back. When he saw the crystal tears on her face, his hand unconsciously raised up, wanting to wipe away her tears, but in the end, the hand still fell down powerlessly. "Jingyan..." He called her name softly, his voice full of guilt and reluctance. In this quiet night, his call seemed to carry endless sorrow, slowly floating in the air.

"When are you leaving?" Shen Jingyan turned her face slightly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Jiang Xiyan's eyes darkened, his voice was a little hoarse, and he tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Soon, we'll leave in the next two days. Some things need to be arranged in advance."

The night wind blew, and the chill became even worse. Jiang Xiyan's clothes fluttered slightly in the wind, and his figure seemed a little lonely in the moonlight. Shen Jingyan stood quietly, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't know what to say, and her heart was full of reluctance and helplessness.

Shen Jingyan took a deep breath, held back her tears, and slowly turned around, her eyes full of mixed emotions. "Since you have made up your mind, I wish you all the best." Her voice was trembling, but she tried to remain calm.

Jiang Xiyan looked at her, with a trace of pain and reluctance in his eyes. "Jingyan, take care of yourself." His voice was low and gentle.

Shen Jingyan nodded slightly, tears finally falling down. "You too!"

Jiang Xiyan wanted to go forward and wipe away her tears, but stopped.

"About the company, the position of vice president will be vacant after I leave, why don't you ask Ye Ziyuan to help you?"

"Have you recovered your memory?"

"I don't remember, and I don't know if I have ever lost my memory! I don't remember anything you said!" They just looked at each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Finally, Jiang Xiyan turned around and walked away with heavy steps. His figure gradually disappeared in the night, leaving Shen Jingyan standing there alone, looking at the direction he left, unable to let go for a long time. The moonlight sprinkled on her body, looking particularly cold.

From the moment Jiang Xiyan stepped out of the gate of Jiangyu Manor, it seemed as if the entire city of A was shrouded in an invisible chill. Shen Jingyan stood quietly, watching the figure walking away, with endless melancholy and loss in her heart.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn the next day. The sun shone through the thin clouds onto the earth, but it could not dispel the slight chill lingering in my heart.
