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

"I want to go to your place and chat with you. I feel that chatting with you can relieve the worries in my heart." There was a hint of expectation in Lin Xi's eyes, and her voice was soft. She bit her lower lip slightly, and her hands unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes. The corner of her clothes had been wrinkled by her, just like her messy mood at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Lin Xi," Ye Chen said in a somewhat cold tone, looking embarrassed. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to avoid Lin Xi's sight, as if he didn't dare to face her expectations. "I still have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so I really don't have time to chat with you." His eyes looked at the darkness outside the car window, as if he was looking for an escape route in the darkness.

"I can help you tomorrow. The capable senior executive you introduced to me last time is now helping me run the company. Anyway, I don't have to go back to M City now, so I'll go to your company to help you."

Lin Xi's eyes flashed with eagerness, and her body leaned forward slightly. Her eyes were full of desire, as if she could get rid of her inner predicament by grabbing this life-saving straw. At this time, the night outside the car became darker, and the light of the street lamps became more and more hazy in the rain. The whole world seemed to be immersed in silence and confusion.

"No, the most important thing for you right now is to take care of the family affairs." Ye Chen replied, frowning more tightly, with a serious look on his face. He looked forward firmly, as if thinking about something important. At this time, the atmosphere in the car was a little solemn, and the breeze from the car air conditioner blew gently, but it could not dispel the depression.

"Why are you talking about my troubles again?" Lin Xi frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure appeared on her face, a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes, and then she turned her head gently and looked out the window. There were very few pedestrians on the street outside the window, and occasionally a few figures hurriedly passed by, looking particularly lonely under the dim street lights. The trees on the roadside swayed in the wind, and the leaves rustled, as if they were also sighing for her experience.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Ye Chen was a little annoyed that he spoke without thinking. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, revealing a trace of self-blame in his eyes. His fingers gently rubbed his eyebrows, as if he wanted to rub away the annoyance. The lights in the car were a little dim, reflecting the fatigue and helplessness on his face.

"Just let me stay at your place. I promise to be quiet and not disturb your work. I will just watch you quietly, okay?" Lin Xi turned her head, her eyes full of pleading, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, her eyes flashing with a hint of expectation, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"I don't have any extra rooms. You'll have nowhere to stay if you go there." Ye Chen said helplessly, sighed, and shook his head. He looked at the rearview mirror inside the car, and his somewhat helpless expression was reflected in the mirror. At this time, the night outside the car became even darker, and the darkness seemed to swallow up the whole world.

"Ye Chen, your sister and I have been to your house. It is a two-story villa. Have you forgotten?" Lin Xi asked with some doubts, her eyebrows slightly raised. Her eyes were full of doubts, as if she was recalling the scene at that time.

"My sister took you to my parents' house. I live in an apartment with only one bedroom." Ye Chen explained, looking at Lin Xi calmly. There was a hint of calmness in his eyes, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Your parents are gone, aren't they? You and your sister have been dependent on each other since childhood. Last time in France, I learned that you have been taking care of your sister like a father. You are really amazing." Lin Xi's eyes flashed with admiration, and she nodded slightly. Her eyes were full of praise, as warm as the sun shining on the earth. At this time, the city lights outside the car were brilliant, and the high-rise buildings in the distance were brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the dimness inside the car.

"My parents are indeed gone. But I don't like others looking at me with sympathy. Everything I have now is obtained through my own efforts." There was a firmness in Ye Chen's eyes. He raised his chin slightly. His eyes were full of confidence and pride, as if declaring his strength to the world.

"I really admire your strength." Lin Xi said with a smile, her eyes full of praise. Her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and moving.

"Thank you." Ye Chen's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and then he returned to his indifferent expression, "It's getting late, I'll take you back to the hotel first." His gaze returned to the road ahead again, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

"I'm not going to the hotel. Take me to Jingyan's house." Lin Xi's eyes revealed a trace of fatigue, and she leaned gently on the seat. Her eyes were full of fatigue, as if she had experienced a long journey. At this time, the number of vehicles on the street outside the car gradually decreased, and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually calmed down.

"What are you doing there?" Ye Chen asked, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. There was a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes, like a child seeing a new toy.

"I don't want to go back to my empty apartment, nor do I want to stay in a hotel. I want to go to your place but you won't let me, so I can only go to my best friend's place." Lin Xi said helplessly, spreading her hands. Her hands waved feebly in the air, as if expressing her helplessness.

Ye Chen was silent for a while, looking at Lin Xi's tired and helpless appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. He sighed and said, "Okay, then you come with me, but you have to promise me that you won't affect my work." His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and compromise.

After Lin Xi heard this, her eyes, which were originally calm as water, instantly burst into a gleam of surprise, as bright and dazzling as a meteor that suddenly streaked across the night sky. She hurriedly nodded vigorously, as if she was afraid that the other party would change his mind, and kept saying: "Okay, okay! I promise that I will never disturb your work, please rest assured, Ye Chen. Thank you so much!" At this time, in the night outside the car, the lights twinkled, as if they were cheering for her joy. The atmosphere in the car also became relaxed because of her joy, and the breeze blew again, as if it also brought a hint of joy.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and responded softly: "Yeah!" His voice was low and magnetic, like a breeze blowing across the lake. It was just a simple syllable, but it carried a reassuring power.

Outside the car window, the city lights were as bright as day. The colorful neon lights and the bustling crowds formed a lively picture, but the two people in the car were immersed in their own thoughts. For a moment, it was so quiet that only each other's breathing could be heard.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Ye Chen drove the car attentively, while Lin Xi looked out the window quietly, her thoughts drifting to who knows where.

Finally, the car arrived at Ye Chen's apartment. Ye Chen parked the car and took Lin Xi into the apartment.

The apartment was not big, but it was very cozy. Ye Chen took Lin Xi to the living room and said, "You can sleep on the sofa tonight. I'll get you a blanket."

Lin Xi's hands trembled slightly as she carefully took the soft and warm blanket, which still had a faint scent of Ye Chen on it.

She slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes were as bright and moving as the twinkling stars in the night sky. When her eyes met Ye Chen's, time seemed to stand still at this moment. Her eyes were filled with deep gratitude, like ripples in a clear lake.

She opened her lips slightly and said in a voice as gentle as the breeze blowing over the strings of a guitar: "Thank you, Ye Chen. This blanket is not just an ordinary item to me. It is more like a warm and bright sunshine in winter, shining directly into my heart, making me feel unprecedented warmth and peace of mind."

Hearing her sincere words, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile. That smile was like the gentle breeze in spring, with a hint of warmth, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. His eyes revealed endless tenderness, as if they could embrace everything in the world. He also responded softly: "You're welcome, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Now that the weather is getting colder, I just hope it can accompany you, so that you can have a warm comfort on every cold night."

Lin Xi looked at Ye Chen's back, and an inexplicable feeling of being touched surged in her heart. She knew that although Ye Chen looked indifferent on the surface, he was actually a very kind person.

Lin Xi lay on the sofa, covered with a blanket, but couldn't fall asleep. Ye Chen's figure kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with gratitude and love for him.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Xi finally fell asleep in a daze.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Ye Chen's study was brightly lit.

He sat at his desk, with documents and materials piled up like a mountain, and his computer screen was full of data. He sometimes quickly typed on the keyboard, sometimes took a pen to annotate on the documents, his eyes focused and determined.

He sat upright, leaning forward, as if nothing around him existed except for work. His expression was serious and he had no intention of slacking off. Although it was late at night, he was not aware of it at all and was immersed in it.

The study was so quiet that only the sound of keyboards and pen tips rustled. Ye Chen stared at the screen and documents, his brain working rapidly, thinking about various problems and solutions. His face was expressionless, only focused.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, when others are resting, Ye Chen is in the critical stage of work. He knows that hard work can achieve the goal, so he is willing to devote more time and energy to pursue career success.

On this quiet night, Ye Chen's study is his battlefield of struggle. He interprets hard work and persistence with actions and lays a solid foundation for the future.

Ye Chen was busy until one o'clock in the night, and then he went to the bedroom to rest. He lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Lin Xi's figure kept appearing in his mind, and his heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.

He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Lin Xi, was it sympathy or love? He didn't know how to face Lin Xi, nor did he know how to handle the relationship between them.

In this way, Ye Chen spent a long night in contradiction and entanglement.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto Ye Chen's face. He slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the fatigue from last night's work.
