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

She took the phone and saw that it was Shen Jingyan's number. Lin Xi responded in French: "Merci. Je vais répondre." (Thank you. I'll take it.)

Lin Xi picked up the phone and said in Chinese: "Jingyan, what's the matter?" Shen Jingyan hurriedly responded in Chinese: "Where are you? Tell me the address quickly and I'll come to pick you up now." Lin Xi turned to look at the handsome French guy and asked in French: "Monsieur, pouvez-vous nous dire l'adresse exacte ici? (Sir, can you tell us the exact address here?)" The handsome French guy told the address, and Lin Xi told it to Shen Jingyan in Chinese.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi continued to sit on the beach and wait, looking forward to meeting Shen Jingyan.

Lin Xi sat quietly on the beach, looking into the distance from time to time, expecting Shen Jingyan's arrival. At this time, the handsome French guy, the foreigner, sat down next to her.

The foreigner smiled and said in French: "Vous êtes très belle sous la lumière de la lune. (You are very beautiful in the moonlight.)" Lin Xi was slightly stunned and responded shyly: "Merci." (Thank you.)" The foreigner continued: "Je me demande ce que sera la suite de cette nuit. (I wonder what will happen next tonight.)" Lin Xi shook her head slightly and said: "Je ne sais pas. Peut-être quelque chose d'inattendu. (I don't know. Maybe there will be something unexpected.)"

There was a special light in the eyes of the foreigner, and he said slowly: "I hope this will be an unforgettable moment."

Lin Xi was silent for a moment, then said: "Nous verrons." (Let's wait and see.)

"We are in a remote place. How did you get here?" (We are in a remote place. How did you get here?)

Lin Xi tilted her head slightly, and her eyes retracted from the distance and fell on the French handsome guy. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her eyes revealed a trace of memories and helplessness. Then, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice soft and clear: "We went to Paris, France. We had an accident. Unfortunately, we came to this place." (We went to Paris, France, but the plane had an accident, so we came to this place.)

As she spoke, Lin Xi unconsciously used her hand to gently fiddle with her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze. There was a hint of confusion and uneasiness in her eyes, as if she was recalling the thrilling scene when the plane crashed.

After hearing what Lin Xi said, the French guy showed concern on his face. He nodded slightly and said in French: "I'm sorry to hear that. This is a difficult situation. My name is Antoine. What's your name? "

Lin Xi looked at Antoine with a hint of warmth in her eyes and replied, "Je m'appelle Lin Xi." Antoine raised the corners of his mouth slightly and repeated her name, "Lin Xi, c'est un joli nom." (Lin Xi, this is a beautiful name.)

“How far is it from here to Paris?”

Lin Xi frowned slightly, with a hint of worry and curiosity in her eyes. She leaned forward slightly, and clasped her hands lightly together, as if expecting a definite answer.

"Alright, I'm going to take you there. I'll be there soon." (You're quite far from here. It'll probably take seven or eight hours by plane.)

Antoine shrugged slightly, his eyes looking into the distance, as if he was measuring the long distance. He stretched out his hand, gestured, and then said: "C'est vraiment une longue distance." After saying that, he lowered his head and gently kicked the pebbles on the beach with his feet.

"Thank you for helping me with my friend's phone. Please give it to me. It's very late now. You should go back and have some rest." (Thank you for helping me with my friend's phone. Please give it to me. It's very late now. You should go back and have some rest.)

When Antoine heard Lin Xi's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He lowered his eyes slightly and bit his lips gently. But he soon returned to a polite smile, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his white teeth.

“But I don’t want to leave you here alone.”

Lin Xi shook her head gently, her hair fluttering in the sea breeze. She smiled and said, "Ne vous inquiétez pas. Mes amis viennent bient?t." Her eyes were firm and warm, and her hands hung naturally at her sides.

Antoine hesitated, his fingers gently running over the edge of his shirt, then nodded.

“Well, have a nice night.”

Lin Xi responded: "Merci. Vous aussi." (Thank you. You too.)" She nodded slightly, with sincerity in her eyes.

Antoine turned around and walked away slowly, his steps were a little heavy. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Lin Xi, his eyes full of reluctance. Then he continued to walk towards his residence. Lin Xi looked at his back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart, with gratitude and a little bit of a different feeling. She narrowed her eyes slightly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and quietly looked in the direction where Antoine left.

Ye Chen stepped out of the tent with light steps, frowned slightly, and looked at Lin Xi with a little worry. He let his hands hang casually at his sides, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Lin Xi slowly turned her head and it turned out to be Ye Chen. Her hair fluttered gently in the breeze. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "I'm not sleepy, why don't you rest?" She gently touched the grass beside her, her fingers slender and flexible.

"I'm not sleepy either." Ye Chen walked to Lin Xi with steady steps and sat down. At this time, the desert night was quiet and mysterious. A bright moon hung high in the deep blue sky, casting a silvery glow. The breeze blew gently, and the fine sand on the sand surged slightly, making a slight rustling sound. In the distance, the rolling sand dunes were like silent waves under the moonlight. They looked at the sky together, and Ye Chen's tone was full of emotion, "I didn't expect that we would encounter such a beautiful town in the desert."

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the bright starry sky, and said softly: "Yes, there is such a surprise hidden in this desert. It's like a gorgeous flower suddenly blooming in the endless wasteland."

The night wind blew their hair, bringing a slight coolness.

Ye Chen slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was deeply attracted by the beautiful starry sky. He raised his chin slightly, and the lines of his neck were particularly clear in the moonlight. One hand was gently placed on his knee, and his fingers were unconsciously slightly bent.

"You're right, just like we can find hope in difficult situations." His voice was low and magnetic, echoing softly in the silent desert night.

Lin Xi looked at Ye Chen quietly, her eyes full of doubt and thought. She bit her lower lip slightly, frowned slightly, and seemed to be struggling whether to ask the question. She clasped her hands in front of her, her fingers stirring restlessly. After a while, she finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Can I ask you a question?" Her voice was a little nervous and her eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

"Just ask." Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Lin Xi with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Lin Xi looked at Ye Chen, her mind full of thoughts. She wondered why Ye Chen was so cold to everyone, but only favored Xiaolan? Unfortunately, Xiaolan had passed away. Was it because she was no longer in this world that he was so cold to everything? Lin Xi pondered for a moment, and finally asked.

"Ye Chen, do you love your girlfriend Xiaolan very much?" Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid to break the tranquility of the desert night.

"Yes, I love her very much." Ye Chen lowered his eyes slightly. When he heard Lin Xi mention Xiaolan, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes very quickly. That sadness was like a meteor across the night sky, fleeting. Soon, he regained his composure and said in a calm but firm tone, "She is one of the most important people in my life."

Lin Xi stared at Ye Chen, her eyes full of confusion and concern. "But she is no longer in this world. Could it be that you really won't fall in love with someone else?"
