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

"Then I'll tell you the answer now. There is no way I can become your woman. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!" There was an incomparably firm light flashing in Xia Qingcheng's eyes, as if nothing in the world could shake her determination at the moment.

The faint smile on Mu Hanchen's lips suddenly disappeared as if blown away by a gust of wind. His eyes also changed, gradually becoming as sharp as a knife, with a bit of coldness and majesty, shooting straight at the person in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You'd better think it through before answering. You should know that except for me, there is probably no one else in this world who can help you find the whereabouts of your cousin."

"Hmph! Arrogant men are simply disgusting! I hate people like this the most, please stay away from me immediately!" Xia Qingcheng's eyes widened with anger, and her tone was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around her. After saying that, she turned around and left resolutely without looking back, trying to get rid of Mu Hanchen who disgusted her.

However, how could Mu Hanchen let her get her wish so easily? He flashed and reached out his hand like a ghost, accurately grabbing Xia Qingcheng's slender wrist. Then, he exerted a little force and easily pulled Xia Qingcheng into his arms.

"Don't be naive to think that you can escape my control. It will do you no good to anger me." Mu Hanchen's low and magnetic voice sounded in Xia Qingcheng's ears, with a hint of threat and warning.

Xia Qingcheng was shocked and angry. She twisted her body desperately to break free from Mu Hanchen's restraints, but it was all in vain. "Let me go, you shameless man!" She shouted angrily, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes.

Mu Hanchen seemed to have heard nothing, his arms were like steel, tightly holding Xia Qingcheng, with no intention of letting go. The two of them were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was extremely tense...

Mu Hanchen hugged Xia Qingcheng tightly, feeling her struggle, but an inexplicable stubbornness surged in his heart.

"Let me go!" Xia Qingcheng's eyes were wide open as she stared at Mu Hanchen in front of her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with endless anger and unyielding determination.

However, Mu Hanchen seemed to be deaf to her roar. Not only did he not loosen his hand, but he held her even tighter. His deep and magnetic voice slowly sounded: "Don't struggle in vain. You can't escape from my palm. As long as you honestly agree to become my woman, I will do my best to help you find your cousin. This is undoubtedly the wisest choice for you at the moment."

Hearing this, Xia Qingcheng couldn't help but sneer, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. She straightened her back, met Mu Hanchen's gaze without fear, and said coldly: "Humph, you are too naive! Do you think you can make me submit to you by using such despicable means? Let me tell you, I, Xia Qingcheng, am not the kind of person who easily bows to evil forces."

Hearing this, Mu Hanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a subtle dangerous light flashed across his eyes. He stared at the stubborn woman in front of him and said slowly: "It seems that you have not yet realized the predicament you are in! At this moment, you are already isolated and helpless. I am the only one in the world who can help you. So, why don't you obey me?"

Xia Qingcheng's delicate and beautiful face was filled with an indescribable stubbornness and unyielding spirit. She raised her head slightly, like a proud peacock, raised her chin high, looked directly at the person in front of her with a firm gaze, and said in a clear and resolute voice: "I don't need your help, I can find my cousin by myself!"

Hearing this, Mu Hanchen couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. In his deep eyes, as deep as a pool of water, there seemed to be a subtle glimmer of contempt, and he said in a cold and ruthless tone: "Just you? Humph, how naive! Don't you know how difficult this is? You don't even know where your cousin is, and you actually think you can find her easily? It's just a foolish dream!"

Faced with such a sharp question, Xia Qingcheng was speechless. However, in just a moment, she quickly adjusted her mood and regained her usual calmness and composure. She took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and responded without showing any weakness: "I will naturally have my own methods and ways, and you don't need to worry about it. Don't underestimate me, one day, I will make you look at me with new eyes!" After saying this, Xia Qingcheng clenched her teeth tightly, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented determination.

Mu Hanchen stared at the stubborn expression of the woman in front of him, and an indescribable and unique ripple appeared in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was fixed on her like a torch, as if he wanted to see through her firm appearance to see her true thoughts. After a moment of silence, he finally loosened his clenched hands slowly, and his originally tense face relaxed a little, and even the tone of his voice became a little gentler: "Okay, in this case, then I will give you some time to think about it, but I hope you don't make me wait too long."

"Give up, I, Xia Qingcheng, can never like a man like this!" She gently rubbed her wrist that was pinched so hard that it hurt, and glared at Mu Hanchen with resentment. Then, she turned around without hesitation and prepared to leave with a firm and resolute step.

At this moment, Mu Hanchen suddenly shouted, "Stop!" This shout was like a thunderbolt that broke through the sky, making the atmosphere in the whole room tense in an instant. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Xia Qingcheng's back, and coldly warned, "You can leave on your own, but you must remember this in your heart, and never try to provoke me to test my tolerance. Otherwise... you will bear the consequences yourself!"

However, Xia Qingcheng ignored Mu Hanchen's threats, and didn't even turn her head back, and walked out of the office door with her head held high. At this moment, her chest was filled with endless anger and resentment, as well as a lot of unwillingness. She secretly made up her mind that she would use her own abilities to find her long-missing cousin, and she would let that arrogant guy see that she was definitely not a puppet to be manipulated by others at will!

Mu Hanchen looked at Xia Qingcheng's back as she left, his face gloomy, with an indescribable emotion in his heart, but he regained his indifference in an instant, "Interesting, I want to see how long you can hold on."

After Xia Qingcheng left the office, she began to ask around about her cousin's whereabouts. She anxiously shuttled among the crowd, asking everyone if they had seen Xia Jingyi. She looked so anxious, as if she would grasp any clue she had.

However, fate seemed to take a sudden turn at this moment. Just when Xia Qingcheng was about to despair, she unexpectedly saw her cousin Xia Jingyi outside a cafe. Xia Jingyi was standing there in a panic, as if avoiding something.

Xia Qingcheng hurried over and grabbed Xia Jingyi's hand, her voice full of surprise and concern: "Cousin, why are you here? I've been looking for you for so long."

When Xia Jingyi saw Xia Qingcheng, she was stunned at first, and then a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "Qingcheng, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Xia Qingcheng looked at her cousin's tired face, and a wave of distress surged in her heart: "Cousin, what happened? Why do you owe so much money?"

Xia Jingyi lowered her head, bit her lip, and was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "Qingcheng, I was confused for a moment and got into some trouble. That money... was a gambling debt I accidentally owed."

Xia Qingcheng frowned: "Cousin, why are you so confused? Gambling is not a good thing. What should I do now? Those debt collectors will not give up."

Xia Jingyi's eyes were full of regret: "I know I was wrong, Qingcheng. I don't know what to do."

Xia Qingcheng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Cousin, let's find a safe place first, and then think of a way to solve this matter."

At night, the lights came on and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually quieted down. However, for Mu Hanchen, this night was not peaceful. When it was time for social events, Mu Hanchen appeared at the social event in a neat suit with a dignified manner. His eyes were sharp and his every move exuded a powerful aura. However, when he looked around, he could not see Bai Zhanyue.

Mu Hanchen frowned slightly, and while adjusting his cuffs, he said to himself: "This Bai Zhanyue actually dared to stand me up. Let me see how I will deal with her tomorrow!" During the social event, although Mu Hanchen still seemed to be chatting and laughing, and handled it with ease, he was always thinking about Bai Zhanyue's absence. After the social event, Mu Hanchen returned home with a trace of fatigue. He thought that Bai Zhanyue might have been waiting at home, but the whole house was empty, and there was still no sign of Bai Zhanyue. Mu Hanchen was puzzled. He thought, did she really move out? But wasn't she homeless?

Mu Hanchen took out his cell phone and called Bai Zhanyue, but there was only a busy tone on the other end of the line. His doubts deepened. What on earth is Bai Zhanyue doing? Not answering my call? It's better not to let me know what you are doing.

Night fell quietly. The light from the street lamps cast a golden glow over the entire city.

Shen Jingyan and Lin Xi walked side by side on the bustling commercial street, their eyes constantly scanning the surrounding shops and pedestrians. They had been observing here for a whole afternoon, but they didn't feel tired at all.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Jingyan couldn't wait to sit on the sofa, thinking back to everything he had seen today. After careful observation this afternoon, his plans for the future became clearer in his mind.
