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

A trace of worry and reproach immediately flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He raised his voice and said, "Even if you are in a bad mood, you can't joke about your own safety." His voice echoed in the quiet car with an unquestionable tone, as strong as the wind and rain outside the car.

"Ye Chen, if one day your parents force you to marry a woman you have no feelings for or even hate for various reasons, what will you choose at that time?" Lin Xi suddenly asked such a question as if she had mustered up her courage. Her beautiful and smart eyes were staring at Ye Chen without blinking, and her eyes were full of eager expectations and curiosity. The sound of wind and rain outside the car seemed to be louder, knocking on the car window, as if accompanying her question.

After hearing this question, Ye Chen first frowned slightly involuntarily, as if he was thinking about how to answer the question most appropriately. After a short silence, he finally slowly opened his lips and responded in a firm and unquestionable tone: "If there really comes a day like that, my answer will undoubtedly be no! After all, marriage is not a game or farce that can be treated casually. For me, if I want to enter the palace of marriage, it must be based on a deep emotional foundation. Otherwise, I absolutely cannot tolerate myself being pushed into a marriage life where there is no true love at all." The car was driving in the rain, and the wheels splashed with water.

"What will you do if your father still insists on doing so after you refuse?" Lin Xi continued to ask, her voice trembling slightly, as if she was afraid to hear Ye Chen's answer.

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Xi and said in surprise: "Why are you asking this question again? If my father insists on doing this, I will choose to leave this family and pursue my own happiness."

"Leave," Lin Xi smiled slightly, her smile was a little pale, "What if I leave? He will still have spies watching me, where can I escape to?" Lin Xi's tears fell uncontrollably, her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions. The rain outside the car seemed to be crying for her, getting heavier and heavier.

"Why are you crying?" Ye Chen saw Lin Xi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, burst into tears. He felt nervous and quickly parked the car on the side of the road. He quickly pulled out a tissue from the tissue box beside him, gently handed it to Lin Xi, and asked softly, "Are you in big trouble? Stop crying and tell me." The puddles on the side of the road reflected the light of the street lamps, flickering, as if they were also worried about this scene.

Lin Xi took the tissue and wiped the tears from her eyes, but new tears kept rolling down. She sobbed and spoke intermittently, "Yes...my father...he forced me to marry someone I didn't like at all! I couldn't stand it, so I ran away from that home.

But... but he actually sent someone to keep an eye on me. No matter where I go, it seems like there is a pair of eyes watching me. This feeling is really terrible! Do you know? After my mother passed away, my father found a stepmother for me not long after.

I particularly hate that aunt, and the son she brought with her, he makes me extremely disgusted!

What's more, the most outrageous thing is that my father actually gave the company that my mother and he worked so hard to build to that woman's son! That person is the president of Yufeng International - Mu Hanchen, you should have seen him too. "At this point, Lin Xi's crying became more and more sad, and the voice full of grievances and helplessness seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls.

Ye Chen gently patted Lin Xi's back, trying to calm her down, and took out his cell phone from his pocket. "Okay, don't cry for now. I'll call a good friend of mine right now and ask him to help investigate the specific situation." He dialed his friend's number and waited for the other party to answer the call. His eyes were always on Lin Xi, hoping to give her more strength and support.

Lin Xi frowned slightly, her clear eyes full of confusion and doubt. She raised her head slightly and looked at Ye Chen in front of her with a serious expression, and asked softly, "What do you want to check?"

At this moment, Ye Chen's face was as tense as a rock, without any relaxation. His deep eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if they could penetrate a person's soul. He stared at Lin Xi closely and said word by word: "Of course, I'm going to check the spies your father has planted around you!" There was an unquestionable firmness and determination in his words.

Inside the dimly lit car, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. Outside the car window, the city lights flickered in the drizzle, reflecting the complex expressions of the two people in the car.

"Why are you helping me?" Lin Xi stared at Ye Chen with burning eyes and asked again, "What do you mean by asking this question?" She leaned forward slightly, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes full of anxiety and confusion.

"I confessed to you before, saying that I like you, but you rejected my love. Why are you helping me now?" Lin Xi's voice trembled slightly, her eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness. Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, as if they would burst out in the next second.

"Before was before, now is now," Ye Chen looked a little unnatural, and coughed lightly, "I help you because you are my friend." His eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look directly into Lin Xi's eyes, and his fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel unconsciously.

"Are we really just friends?" Lin Xi asked, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. She raised her head and locked her eyes with Ye Chen, her eyes full of desire and pleading.

"What else? Don't think too much." Ye Chen turned his head away, avoiding Lin Xi's sight. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of impatience appeared on his face. He held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

"Ye Chen, I really like you. Do you really dislike me? Even a little bit." Lin Xi's tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs. Her body trembled slightly, and tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of her hand, splashing small water drops.

"Lin Xi..." Ye Chen was silent for a moment, his eyes softened, "I admit that I have a good impression of you, but I'm not sure if this is love." His eyes fell on Lin Xi's face, his eyes were full of contradictions and struggles, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the wipers were swinging rhythmically, making a monotonous sound, as if accompanying the awkward atmosphere. The air in the car seemed to freeze, making people feel suffocated. Ye Chen's hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and his knuckles were white from the force. Lin Xi lowered her head, crying silently, and her tears dripped on the back of her hand, splashing small water drops.

Lin Xi raised her head slightly and looked at Ye Chen with tearful eyes. The tears in her eyes flickered faintly under the dim light inside the car, like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky. She whispered, "Ye Chen, can you try to confirm whether you like this feeling?" There was a hint of pleading in her voice. She twisted her hands together unconsciously, her fingers turned white because of the force, and her eyes were full of expectation, as if Ye Chen's answer was a ray of light in her dark world at the moment.

Ye Chen started the car and turned to look at Lin Xi, frowning slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of entanglement and helplessness, just like the moonlight covered by dark clouds, flickering. "My mind is a little confused now, let's talk about this later." His voice echoed in the silent car, with a hint of fatigue and confusion.

"I don't want to go back to the place where I live now. Can I stay at your place for a while?" Lin Xi bit her lip, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and her body leaned forward slightly, as if trying to get closer to Ye Chen, seeking a little warmth and comfort. At this time, the night outside the car window was as thick as ink, and the street lights on the street emitted a dim light. The light struggled hard in the darkness, reflecting the wet ground, and the reflected light was a little cold. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves were blown up by the evening breeze, swirling in the air, and then helplessly fell, just like Lin Xi's feeling of wandering and helpless at the moment. The tall buildings in the distance stood in the night, like silent giants, and only a few windows were still lit, as if they were the stars in the darkness, lonely and distant. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no trace of starlight. The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, making people breathless.

Ye Chen looked at the night, and after a moment of silence, he pursed his lips tightly, like a tight defense line. He slowly said, "It's so late, it's not convenient for a man and a woman to be in the same room together, I'll take you to the hotel." His eyes were firm but with a hint of hesitation that was barely noticeable, and his eyes always avoided Lin Xi's expectant eyes.

Lin Xi rolled down the car window, and the evening breeze blew her hair, bringing a slight chill, which seemed to penetrate into her heart along her hair. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, just like the candlelight blown out by the wind, dimming in an instant. "I don't want to go to the hotel." Her voice drifted in the wind, with a hint of stubbornness and helplessness.

In the dim car, the atmosphere seemed particularly dull. Outside the car window, the street lamps emitted a dim light, and the drizzle fell like silk, hitting the car window, making a slight ticking sound, as if it was the footsteps of time, slow and heavy. The raindrops slid down the car window, leaving a trail of water marks, just like the tear marks in Lin Xi's heart.

"If you don't want to go to the hotel, then where do you want to go?" Ye Chen frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes and a hint of helplessness in his tone. As he spoke, he tapped the steering wheel lightly with his right hand, and the rhythm seemed to be the beat of his inner irritability.
